il / THE RED MEN
81 A iDeadwood special of July Goth
says, Gen. Phil. Sheridan arrived here
yesterday, and leaves to-day for the
states via Deadwood and Crook City to
Bismarck, and from thence to his head
quarters at Chicago. The Generals
tour of inspect n Of Indian affairs in
this region confirms previous advices.
There is no danger to be apprehended
from Sitting Bull across the British
boundary, and he is thoroughly salts
fed that, with the exception Of the
Bannocks, there will be no Indian war
in mis- division this year. Sheridan az
rived at this cantOnment with an escort
after having been seventy-fvc miles in
the saddle, looking as if the old war
times had come again, and he were
fifteen Years younger. Col. Frank,
who accompanied him, was sent to
grass and to ambulance after days ride
the mosquitoes attacking his ankles,
says the colonel; sore back, says the
general. ... .... as
The recent news from the Bannock
war leads the general 10 believe it will
not last longer. In an interview he
said: "Gen. Forsyth's fight settles it.
| think, when you flush covey of quail,
you have only to go round and pick off
the single birds, and that is easily done.'
The new post is likely to be located
somewhere on the coast or north side
of the Black Hills-probably on Rapid
Creek.
AMERICAN EXHIBITS AT PARIS.
A Cincinnati dispatch under date of
letter has been received by the editor of
the Commercial from Hon. A. T. Cos
horn, at Paris:
During the last fortnight have had
frequent and special opportunity
to examine the great ex-
position at Champ de Mars,
and especially to observe the represen-
tation made by the United States. l
have noticed several adverse criticisms
in the home press that have done great
injustice both to the general appearance
of the sections, the objects
exposed and especially to the COM
missioner general and his as
sistants. Notwithstanding our gov
eminent accepted the invitation
after all other nations had made
great progress in their preparations,
and Notwithstanding the great distance
Of America and very weak assistance
granted, find, to my surprise, large
display of important industries.
MORE MINING TROUBLES.
A New York dispatch of Oath inst.
the conversation Of gentleman en-
gagged in a manufacturing business in
one of the northern counties ofPennsyl-
vania. He says the chances are we
shall have much more serious
trouble within the next two
months than that which
came upon us SO unexpectedly last
summer. Preparations are being
made for simultaneous strike all over
the country, On railroads, at the mines,
and in many Of the largest manu-
featuring establishments, and moth
ing but the utmost vigilance on the part
of the state authorities, and such prepar-
atoms as will make it possible to crush
vent one of the worst calamities that has
ever befallen this country. The 18th Of
June had been actually fixed for the
strike, an outbreak would certainly
have taken place then or soon after
but for preparations made by Gov
ernor Hartranft. When he called
out the militia and made an at
rangement to obtain uniforms and
equipments for them at the Frankford
arsenal, those who were ~ to
have managed the strike called
committee meeting in Phila-
delphia, and voted to postpone
the attack until the 18th of August
when it was hoped the country might
be taken by surprise. A Chicago re-
preventative of the strikers, on
his way to. New York, stopped
over at Hornellsville, and said to
his friends that they ought to take the
property Of she rich, and they ought es-
pecially to break open banks, take the
money and divide it. I'll. el r. +.
