THE INDIANS.
The Sands Gathering in the Black Hills

The Bands Gathering in the Black Hills.
NEW YORK, Oct. San Omaha special con
firms the other reports of Thornburgh's m ove-
ments in the pursuit of the Indians. Thorn
burgh states that the Indians have adopted
some of our modes of warfare by digging rife
pits. Evidence is multiplying that the Indians
are separating into small bands and spreading
over large extent of territory and will sea tier
themselves among Red Clouds and Spott ed
gathering at the Black Hills, and Msssacres
thereab0uts are soon expected.
A prominent citizen from Camp Brown in
northern Wyoming says that 80 Arapahoes and
90 Cheyennes have during the past two weeks
left the reservation there on pretence of hunt
ing, and gone in the direction of the Black
Hills. None are returning, and it is believed
that they have gone on the war path. They
are all determined warriors aud are we'll in
formed OF the movements of the escaped agency
Cheyennes There are indications of a general
understanding among all the In diaus, and the
worst may be feared.
A despatch from Thornburg says that the
Indians have scattered. The despatch con-
firms previous kilograms bnt gives nothing lat
er. Capt Kauch was 40 miles behind the In
dams.
Major Dallas with 100 men started from Og-
allala yesterday to overtake Thornburgh. Col.
Carleton from camp Robinson has by this time
reached the country between Snake creek and
Nlobara river through which the Indians are
expected to pass.
A Sidney, Nebraska despatch of yesterday
says that courier from Cartoons comma nd
on Snake creek reports that Carleton's advance
discovered advance scouts of the Cheyennes on
the night of Oct. 3, So miles southeast of Snake
creek tation. If not discovered by the Chey-
ennes carleton would engage then next day.

DAVIS.REAGAN.
POrtland's FavOrite Oarsman
Wins.
Quick Time-2S Minutes 6 Sd
Seconds. ...
Splendid Exhibition of Brain and Muscle.

Boston, Oot. 8.-The single scull race at ST.
yer Lake today, between Patrick Reagan of
Boston, and M. f. Davis of Portland, Me-,
over course of 4 miles for purse of $1,000,
took place this afternoon. From 5000 to 1000
were present. After some delay the men drew
up in line, Davis taking the outside. Betting
at this juncture was at the rate of 100 to 20 in
favor of Reagan. The word ego" was given
about 30 and the men took water we'll to-
gether with rafting stroke Of about So. AZ
ter proceeding about 20 strokes Reagan gained
slight lead by quickening his stroke slightly.
At the half mile Davis led by half a length.
After passing the half mile point Davis in
creased his stroke and at the mile led Reagan
by length. At the mile and half point
Davis led by two lengths
At the two mile turn Davis led by three
lengths which was increased at the three mile
point to five lengths although Reagan worked
hard to close the gap. Davis crossed the line
nine lengths ahead. Davis's time was % min
utes g. seconds.
Taken altogether it was one of the finest
aquatic contests ever witnessed, and but for
the terrible accident at the close of the dag,
which cost Mr.. Reagan his life, it would have
been one of the bright spots in American boat
ing. Not that it YVES close all the way, for il
was not. But the factIwas apparent to all that
both men were doing their best from the star
to the finish. Reagan showed wonderful pluck
for losing race. Even when Davis was row.
ing his fastest and openin wider and wider
the gap between them he kept hard at work,
never for moment Stacking. So plainly was
it to be seen that he was doing his best, that
the men who had backed him the heaviest
giving great odds. had not word of complaint
to offer when the result WAS known. They IN.
der estimated Davis, as hundreds have done
before, and as a result the men who backed the
plucky Portlander are now well supplied with
funds

yesterday. The customs inspector however
went through the trunks the same as if they
found valuable jewelry and a trousseau intend

V Tilden and His Agents.
The Tribune has printed another batch of
cipher dispatches, the translation of which, it
says shows that the confidential agents of Mr.
Tilden in Florida were Msnton Marble. @. w.
Wooley and John F. Coyle; that these agents
went to Tallahassee with prearranged ciphers
for communications with Mr.. Tilden; that they
first labored BY lawful means to secure for him
the votes of that state and failed therein be-
cause the official returns gave majority for
Mr.. Hayes. Cipher dispatches regarding the
bribery OF member of the canvasspg board
then passed between Mr.. Tilden's residence and
his confidential agents in Tallahassee. One
proposition to pay 100000 for member was
held too high because another despatch from a
different agent promised cheaper bargain.
Then by both agents separate propositions were
sent in separate cDhers to buy member for
$4,000. The reply from Grame1cy Park was /:
Proposition accepted" 1t was sent only once
and the agents were separately ordered to con-
suit with each other in haste. 1t does not
clearly appear that the goods would have been
delivered, but the scheme fell through because
four words were dropped from the despatch au-
thorizing the purchase, thus making it unintel.
lig1ble. 1t vas after some delay repeated from
Gramercy Park in an Ineligible form, but was
received too late, and the visiting statement SO
reported to Gramercy Park.

Join the city permanently from making inn
prevements on its water front authorized by an

the most important rendered since the ring
trials, many millions of dollars worth of prop
erty being involved.

circular sent to the powers requesting them to
compel Austria to conform to the declarations

dressy last week assured Herr Tsza the Hun
garian premier, that the conclusion of the con-
vention with Turkey was regarded as moral
certainty, and its failure is likely to have very
great influence in the Hungarian crisis. There
is an impression in Hungary that Austria is in
danger of drifting into war with Turkey, hence
the anxiety to prevent operations against Novi
Bazaar. 1t is believed that Herr Tisza has
stipulated as condition of even his temporary
retention of office, that the occupation Of Bos-
