The Washington Standpoint,
Sherman ON Resampiion-The Indian
Bureau

Secretary Sherman holds that while the re-
sumption act is mandatory in requiring that
gold shall be paid at the New York sub-.reas-
ury for legal tender notes, it is not prohibitory
In regard to other cities. He nterprets the act
to mean that legal tender note shall be as
good as gold dollar everywhere in the United
States after January 1. The Secretary indi-
Gates very plainly that the Treasury depart
ment will do everything in its power to have
resumption go into effect simultaDe ously at
New York and all other money centres. 1t is
understood to be the policy of the department
that gold coin will not be concentrated at New
York beyond an amount considered necessary
to provide for all contingencies but will be
Distributed among other points as far as may
be. There are details yet to be determined
upon which will be communicated shortly. The
Secretary is entirely confident that the arrange
ments will be such that no difficulty will be
experienced, and he will be very glad in his
proper sphere to confer and cooperate with the
banks of all cities just as he has with the banks
of New York.
Secretary Sherman thought Sheridan had
plenty OF evidence to sustain himself bushels
of it, in fact, and be will be equal TO the emer-
gency. 1t was quite an easy thing to run the
Indian bureau when the Indians were quiet,
but when they took to scalpipg, the Interior
department was then glad to call strongly on
the army. As to the transfer Of the control of
the Indians to the War department, he regard
ed it simply question whether the mountain
shall go to Mahomes or the latter 60 to the
mountain.
A second letter of Secretary Schurz to the
War department severely crticising some of
of the statements of Gen. Sheridan in regard
to the Indian service, will soon be made nnh-
lie. Quite a series of publications arrived at
the In ian service and at the Interior depart
ment will b, made in few days from army
officers. All obligations of secrecy in regard
to Official papers relating to Indian affairs will
be removed by the War department.

THE INDIANS.


Gen. Sheriiap,s Auswer TO she Secretary
of the Interior.
CHICAGO. Nov. 22-In reply to the published
letter of the Secretary Of the Interior regarding
Indian affairs Gen. Sheridan remarks that long
observation has demonstrated the main cause
for such removals as there Is hostility to the
army officers on account of their official re.
ports.
These remarks. he says. are intesded to apply
to the management of Indian affairs for the
last 25 years. Regarding the case in point he
has full personal acquaintance with Fort Sill
and Whita aud knows Fort Sill has an abund-
ant supply Of excellent pure water, and has
fine soil and beautiful surrounding country.
He concludes; II know nothing in the relation
of the military to the civil ministration which
should prevent me from calling the attention of
my superiors TO an unnecessary waste of public
money through the administration of the H.
dian bureau" Sherman appends strong en-
dorsement to the above.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 22-The executive COM
mittee of Friends on Indian affairs has been in
secret session 10 this city, Two days and closed
their labors yesterday evening. The object of
the meeting was to protest against the action of
the Secretary of the Interior in taking three
agencies from the care of the F"en DIS and CIV
deDce in their method which they claim would,
If pursued, cause steady progress of Indians
toward civilization and self support.

Two Fatal Accidents.

GARDINER, Nov 22-James G. Larrabee of
Whitefield, while driving, was thrown from his
carriage by his horse becoming frightened, and
was instantly killed.
James s. Brown of Whitefeld, while repair

A PIumbsgo Mine in Pitiston.
GARDINER, Nov. 22.-Partes from Boston are
here investigating what is supposed to be val
liable black lead mine. which has recently been
discovered on the land Of William Kicker in
Pittston. Several blasts have been put in which
have resulted in the blowing out of q pure,
black lead vein, which extends on to adjacent
lands owned by Hiram Castin, and it is thought
if the ore goes down deep enough it will prove
one of the richest lead mines in the country.
A company will probably soon be formed to
work the mine, consisting chiefly Of Massachu-
sets parties.

THE AFGHAN WAR.
Rapid Advance Of the English,
Am Afghan Fortress Taken

KHYBER Pass, Nov. 21.-At daybreak Gen.
Brown stood on the little plain beyond Rum
rooo, watching the march to the frontier. A
picket OF the enemy's cavalry was visible on
the top OF Shanghai ridge, bsvoud the range.
The advance guard marched briskly on and
presently rested on the height whence at ten
O'Clock a diminishing fire was opsned on the
eDemy's pckets.
The latter retired after desultory reply.
Our forces pressing on and occas onaly firing,
reached Shanghai ridge, whence Ali Mnsiid
was visible. At noon Ali Mcsjd fired the first
smell, which burst in the air. The second she'll
flew over the flagstaff on Shanghai ridge and
fell without bursting beyond. The long halt
necessary TO allow the heavy battery to come
up was utilized by the horse artillery in plac-
ing guns on the height to our right.

SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 90.

fifty days Of continuous fighting had made vet
Grams Of Stanley's men. while their guns were
vastly superior in efficiency to those of the
savages, SO they pushed their way through in
spite Of every difficulty.
Then came another obstacle which nearly
stopped them. As they descended from the
table land to the sea, the river became series
of cataracts, and, although the natives, affected
by their neighborhood to civilization became
pesceable the task of dragging their canoes
around the falls, and sometimes over activities,
become almost impossible. Indeed, at the very
end. finding themselves in imminent danger of
starvation, because their merchandise, from
their proximity to the coast became no longer
valuable, and the natives were grasping and
selfish, they were obliged to abandon their
canoes and march overland the last few stages.
Like Cameron, at the very extremity they were
saved from death by supplies sent from the
men of the coast. and August 9, 1877, they al
rived, struggling line of living skeletons, at
Bona. on the west coast, about 90 in numb Der,
the other sixty having died or been killed in
battle on the way. Stanley's three White COM
panions, the two Pocock boys and Frederick
Barker were among the dead. Frank Pocock
was drowned In passing cataract just before
they reached the west coast; the other two died
of fever. The total deaths during the expedi-
ton were 49, while 80 returned alive to
Zanzibar.
Stanley spent several months time in accom-
panying his people around the Continent to
Zanzibar, manly course which will win the
commentator of all his readers, and the ac-
count OF bis parting with the followers who had
been faitbfal under such terrible trials will
bring tears to many an eye.
In conclusion, it may be said, that Stanley
must stand among the foremost travellers in
history, for gallantry, for energy, for ability,
and for that which. is more important ia fame
success.
