THE UTE ATTACK.
THORNBURGH NOT TO BLAME.

THORNBURGH MOI TO BLAME.
A STATEMENT COMPILED BY ADJUTANT-GENERAL
WILLIAMS.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. G.-Ihe Chicago Times has full
CORES pondcnce touching the expedition of Major
Thornburgh. Assistant Adjutant-General Williams
at Fort Omaha compiled it for the purpose of an
swering certain adverse newspaper criticisms. 1t
shows that Major Thornburgh was selected the
man most fit for the expedition to the Ute country
by the orders of the General of the Army.
1t calls attention to the fact shown by correspond
ence that Agent Meeker and the Governor
OF Colorado considered one hundred men
sufficient to enforce order among the Indians !;
also that Major Thornburgh himself regarded
the three companies of cavalry and the one Of in
fanrv I'm all 200 menl which he took, amply suff-
cicnt for the expedition. ThOmbuTgh was cautioned
10y telegram. sent after he was well his way, TO
advance with prudence. and il he had reason
to believe his force insufficient to communicate
with headquarters and call for more. which he
would Receive. He was advised that the matter
was left entirely IL his discretion.
On September 20 Major Ihornburgh sent this. his
last telegram, from camp Bear Creek, Colorado ::
" Have met some of the Ute chiefs here. They
seem friendly. and promise to 20 with me To the
Agency They say the Utes do not undersi and why
come here Have tired To explain satisfactorily.
Do not anticipate trouble"
The conclusion is that Major Thornburgh one Of
the most prudent and discreet of officers, was
thrown off his guard 10y the savages, and that blame
can neither be imputed To him nor 20 the Depart
mcnt.

Railroads Yesterday. from President Scott, of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. In relation TO his views
upon the question of the regulation Of Interstate
commerce nv Congress; 81 gather from yOur let
Ter that what Is desired 70 be accomplished is TO
prevent unjust discrimination between shippers
and secure to them reasonable, equitable and per
mancnt rates of transportation. IL has been sug-
gestcd in the Senate that commission of experts
should be appointed by the Government Tor the
purpose Of examining this question. The trunk
lines having selected n Board of Arbitration do
not believe that the merits of the matter could he
better asccTtamed, conflicting views be better
harmonized, than by JOINT consultation between
that Board and a Government commission. This
font Board could then confer with the officers OF
railways and other transportation companies. beg
to say IN conclusion that In order 10 protect the in
toresis of vour own and other leading commercial
cities seems 20 that II would be essential that
nnv legislation had in Congress. To he entirely
