Gen. Sheridan has given to the public the
documents upon which he based his charges
Of maladministration in the Indian Bureau,
which provoked a somewhat caustic letter
from Secretary Schurz. From this publi-
cation it appears that the statements
originally made by Gen. Pope, and Endorsed
by Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan, were that the In
terror Department, in ordering the transfer
Of the Kiowa and COmanche Indians from
Fort Sill TO Wichita Agency saved only the
salary of the Fort Sill Agent, some 81 800,
while it rendered necessary an outlay of
tens Of thousands of dollars for the prepar-
alton Of Wichita Agency to receive the In
dians, and left the valuable Fort Sill prop
erty unoccupied and useless. Several other
instances ofthe removal of Indians are noted,
the only apparent object of which was to
place them outside OF military jurisdiction.

A Beer-Drinking Horse.

1t is argued by those who desire ar
excuse for using alcoholic stimulants
that it is taste natural to man, and dis
tinguishes man more than any thing
else from the beast. DR.. Richardson,
who has himself tested the matter, as
serts that cats, dogs, horses, hi DIS and
all animals upon which he has u ade the
experiment grow fond of alcoholic slim
ulants from frequent use. One instance
which he relates is of horse which
learned to drink beer. He says: "One
day when 1 was riding in hired car
riage near to Canterbury, the horse stop
ped short at wayside public house. L
asked the driver what that was for.
The horse said he, always stops
here for his beer; he wouldn't go by
on no account; you couldn't whip him
by, sir, till he has had his beer. His
former master taught him to drink beer,
and invariably treated him to it in this
house, and he'll stop till he gets it, 1t
was the fact. A large tankard of beer
was brought out for that horse, and he
disposed of the fluid with as much rel
ish as his master, and then went his
way. Its a shame, added the driver,
but young fellows from London, who
like joke, and who also like beer them
selves, will sometimes give MIN lot
and make him very drunk. Then he is
awkward to drive, and bad for two or
three days afterwards, and we have to
give him more beer to keep him up,
which costs lot" He facetiously re-
marks that overworked oxen and street.

Gen. Gibbons R.nnrt.

Gen. Gibbon, commanding in Dakota, in his
annual report makes the following remarks
upon the civil management of Indian affairs;

the system of responsibility which prevails
In the army existed In the lntilall depart
nent, much of the nov well founded charge
of Iooscness and fraud would be avoided.
But, under the total lack of system in that De.
partment, the responsibility is so loose, ana
fraud is 50 easy, that the wonder is not that
peculation should sometimes occur. but that
! it does not happen in ali cases. Nor does tue

counts seem to pass, sometimes in Washing

with them. In several instances in this De-
partment officers of the Army have, at the re-
| quest of the Interior Department, been as
signed to duty in charge of Indian Agencies
to put a stop TO the frauds apparently instp-
arabic from the system which has prevailed
for so many years. In other instances sort
of divided responsibility is exercis, by the
military and civil Agents of the Interior De-
partment, which has resulted In an 1neVl.a-

The British advance in force upon AZ

date fixed upon as a limit to await reply
from the Ameer to England's ultimatum.
A correspondent telegraphed from Pesh-
awur on the Dist: "Traveling from Thull

The northern portion Of South America
has again suffered severely from one Of those
fearful periodical storms which are indig
enous 10 that volcanic region. The town Of
Manzanilla, New Grenada, is this time one
Of the principal localities most damaged,
several lives being lost and much property
destroyed. The full extent of the destruc-
tion caused by the earthquake is not yet
known, but it is feared that great havoc has
occurred in remote regions in New Grenada,
where communication with the larger cities
is uncertain and infrequent.

The Railroad Bureau.

The first annual report OF Theopbilus
French, Auditor of Railroad Accounts, con-
talns mass of information Of great value to
the general public, ard of importance not
only 10 the 46 railroad companies interested,
but TO the entire railroad interest Of the
country. Although the Bureau has been in
operation but few months, and many roads
have objected to furnishing information up
on its call, still that collected will furnish
the public with many new facts in regard to
the real condition of prominent corpora
tions. The forms adopted for reports are
such as to make clear all facts relating to the
ownership and control, to the financial con-
d1t on, questions Ofrevenue, and statistics Of
revenue, and those relating to the expendi-
lures, and statistics thereof. The roads are
required to furnish Oh call a statement from
their books at the close OF business hours
upon any day specified, in which the iiabili-
ties and assets are fully set forth.
lt appears that the Union Pacific Railroad
has responded to the demands of the Blu
reau only in part, but has submitted its
books for inspection. The Central Pacific
Company has not complied with the law in
any respect. The refusal seems to have
arisen upon the discovery OF great dis
crepancy between the sworn statement Of
the President of the Company and the one
made up from figures given in the printed
report to the stockholders, and, upon AN eX-
PLANTATION being asked, correspondence arose
which is not yet completed. The Kansas
Pacific Company is rendering all reports
called for under the law, and an interesting
compilation Of its affairs from these reports
is presented by Mr.. French. The
Auditor recommends that Con-
gress authorize the Central branch Of
the Union Pacific in Kansas to continue its
road to junction with the Union Pacific at
or near the one-hundred meridian, and
that, in place of a loan of credit and grant
of lands, it should be entitled to grant Of
such sum per mile as Congress may deter
mine, not to be repaid lay the Company, but
that, in place Of repayment, the mails of the
United States shall be forever carried over
said road free of charge. He also recon-
Iuends that the Government Directors of the
Union Pacific Railroad be appointed Gov
eminent Directors for the Central Pacific
and several branch railroads of the general
Pacific Railroad system.

Conclusions Reached by the Yellow
Fever Commission.

The following report of the Yellow
fever Commission was presented by DR..
Bemis to the Public Health Association
in session at Richmond, Va:
The yellow fever was imported into
New Orleans by the steamship Emily
Souder in the month of May. The Com
mission visited various infected points
in the Mississippi Valley, and found as
the result " their INVESTIGATION sad neg
lect and violation of the laws of health
in regard to drainage, inattention TO de-
posts of fetid matter and refuse animal
and vegetable matter, and i1attentiOn
to the purity of drinking water.
The conclusions reached are as fol-
lows:
l. We have not in solitary instance
found case of yellow fever which we
could justiiably consider as OF de moro
origin-indigenous to its locality.
9 In respect to most of the various
towns which we visited, and which were
points of epidemic prevalence, testimo-
ny showing the importation was direct
and convincing in its character.
3. The transmission of yellow fever
between points separated by any con-
siderable distances appeared to be
wholly due to human intercourse. In
some instances the poison was carried
in clothing or about the people going
into infected districts. In others it was
conveyed in such fomites as cotton bag
ging or other goods of same description.
f. The weight of the testimony is
very pronounced against the further
use of disinfectants. Physicians in in
fected towns almost without exception
state that they are useless agents to ar
rest the spread of yellow fever, while
some of them affirm that their vapOrs
are seriously prejudicial to the sick.
5. Personal prophy laxis by means of
drugs or other therapeutic means has
proved constant failure. A respecta-
BILE number of physicians think that the
small doses of quinine of some use in
prevention.
6. Quarantines established with such
degree of surveillance and rigOr that
absolute non-intercourse is the result
have effectually and without exception
protected its subjects from yellow fever.

The latest story about Bismarck is
that he is as autOcratic in social as in
political affairs, and has procured the
removal of Count Karolyi, the Austrian
Ambassador to London, because his
wife excited the jealousy of Princess
Bismarck by dividing the honors of the
leading position in Berlin society with
Lady Odo Russell, and bringing all Ber-
lin to her feet, even to the Emperor
William, by her beauty, amiability and
wit.
Our "eldest daughter of England, -
the Crown Princess of Germany, al
ways employs an English lady to look
after her Royal Highness's wardrobe.
This lady has to travel to Paris, Lon
don, and elsewhere, for the purpose of
choosing dresses, Undertaking, and all
other articles for the Princess's wear.
When not moving from place to place,
her duties are to see that every thing is
in perfect order. Several gentlewomen
in succession have held this office, and
the last three have ended by marrying
Counts. This should be encouraging
news for intending lady-helps.

this account, Garibaldi's chief pleasure
is to be carried down to the seashore
early in the morning, and to spend
hours in the contemplation of the sea.
The evening is generally devoted to mu-
sic, in which Garibaldi, who is said to
have fine, powerful voice, joins occa-
sionally. He has taught his daughter
several of the songs he learned in Amer
lea, and is said to take special delight
in listening to them.

CURRENT NEWS.
WAsHuNCToN.

Secretary Sherman, according to the Chi
cago TribgHe's Washington correspondent,
disclaims any responsibility for the action Of
the New York Clearing house Association
in resolving, after the LIST OF January next,
TO receive silver dollars only as special de-
posits. This attempt to demonetize silver,
in opposition to the existing law, it is said
finds no favor at the Treasury Department,
and the New York bankers are considered TO
have acted somewhat hastily in making no
allowance whatever for any action that may
be taken by the President, the Secretary Of
the Treasury, or Congress. Secretary Sher-
man intimates very distinctly that be and
the President will recommend Legislation
either TO limit the monthly silver-dollar
coinage TO an amount which would leave no
danger Of its depreciating, or that its weight
be increased sufficiently to keep it at par
value.
Secretary Schurz, IL is reported, has adj
dressed letter 10 Secretary McCrary on the
subject Of the reports Of General Sheridan
and General Gibbon, in which serious
charges are made against the management
OF Indian affairs. Secretary Schurz reviews
these reports and asks that proof Of the
charges contained in both reports be fur
nished. he takes It for granted that an officer
Of General Sheridan's high character would
not incorporate such charges in his report
unless he had ample proof to back them up.
Secretary McCrary refers the letter TO
General Sherman, who will forward copies
TO Generals Sheridan and IGibbon for re-
ply. Secretary Schurz's letter is no doubt
calculated 10 widen the breach already ex-
listing between the Indian Bureau and Off
GERS Of the Army on the subject of Indian
affairs.
1t is believed in Berlin that plot exists
for the assassination Of all the Sovereigns Of
Europe. A Naples dispatch says that let
tiers were found at Passamante's abode
showing bis intimate relations with the In
ternationalists.
Ten clerks IN the Post-ofiice Department,
Swhose appointments are accredited to Gen.
Butler, have been removed from Office, and
it is understood that other department clerks
placed IN office by Gen. Buffers influence
will be asked to resign.
Judge Buckner, Chairman of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency, is re-
ported, in an interview with a Washington
correspondent, as expressing the opinion
that no legislation unfavorable TO the silver
dollar will be entertained by the Commit
tee, but believes, on the contrary, that free
coinage for silver will be secured the com
ing session.
The estimates OF the Secretary Of the
Treasury for the support of the Govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June, 1880,

preparations, S129, ,S12; for permanent
annual appropriations, $145, 939,0SS. These
estimates show reduction Of $5,55l, 545
from those Of 1879. Among the decreased
sums asked for is 1926, goo for rivers and
harbors, against S, 1901, 900 the present fiscal
