TuE GArsrEntsG WAR gLoUp.-wars and ru-
mors of wsrs are increasing England, has on
hand the Afghan and Zulu wars, aud another is
on the cards with Burmah. a lull in hostilities
in tho 6rst named struggle has given rise to a
hope of peace 4but there was fierce battle on
the 24th of March, near Peshboak, in which
the "Benval Lancers made a brilliant charge,
md from the locality Of this engagement, 1T IS
likely to be the forcrunner Of others. The nos
tilities in South Africa promise to be long anu
bitter, and the debate yesterday in the Houseof
Commons shows that il bids fair to produce So
rious dissention ut hcme On our continent
new war is promised with Sitting Bull, who, it
is positively stated, only waits for the opening
Of spri ag to begin fresh attack. Meanwhile
we arc threatened with lesser struggle In
Alaska Ia South America war is On the point
of breaking out between Chill and Bolivia, ana
the movement of the Peruvian ironclads, which
have been ordered to proceed at once to lquique
one Of the most .outhcrly ports of Peru, is very
eminous II is said by adviccs just received
that Chilli has given point blank refusal to dis
cuss disputed questions with the PERUVIAN en-.
voy The result seems to be that Chm Will
have to fight single handed both BoliTin and
Peru. In this event it is thought that the Ar
oentne Republic will seize the opportunity to
strike Mt Chill also. Should this prove true the
southwestern republic will DC heavily over

While Asia, Africa and America are thus en-
broilcd, there are dark-ooking clouds gathering
over Europe. The Nihilst movement In Russia
is undoubtedly spreading, if We may trust va
rious concurrent accounts, and to-day,s news
from Moscow is far from encouraging. It's said
that n hundred arrests have been made in that
cityin consequence OF the assassination OF n
government spy. There are likewise reports
of n violent rupture between the Car and his
eldest son, il being even alleged that the Czare-
witch has been put under arrest. Yesterday the

meanwhile from Berlin, where the Socialists are

army is dwelt upon by the European press with
foreboding emphasis. The storm has either

A STEP IN THE RIeHr DiRECrIoN.-One effect
of shocking crime like the murder OF Col. Il.
A. Aston Is to arouse people to the duty Of the
prevention Of such violations of low. The cir
cumstances Of the Aston murder are such that
the responsibility for not having prevented it is
shared by many. One of these, Police Officer
W. ii. Smith, has very properly been discharged
from his situation. What is everybody's bust
ness is nobodys business, but peace officers are
abundant, and if each one were held to strict
accountability for failure to prevent breaches Of
the peace, there would be fewer blood atfrdys

Gen. Grant Demanded.

Cincinnati, Oct. 11.-Stanley Mat
thews declares that Grants nomination
is predetermined and demanded by
popular sentiment. He also thinks
that a large number Of democrats will
vote for him. The Times, in an edito-
rial on the subject, quotes ex-Postmas-
ter Gen. Creswell, Of Maryland, as
favoring Grant, declaring that the need
of the hour was for strong man to
succeed Hayes. But the Times shows
that Grant was president when the
frauds and terrorism in the southern
elections were at their height and could
not maintain freedom at the polls
against them. He thinks that the need
of the hour is for something not COM
pretended in the cry echoed by Cres-
well. and others like him, who attach
more Importance to the party than its
intelligence; also the result of the
southern elections depend on considera-
tions wholly apart from the presence
of strong man in the presidency.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE National
Republican, to-day publishes a column
and half interview with ex-senator
Mitchell, devoted principally to his
views of the real inspiration and ulti-
mate political significance Of Gen.
Grants reception on the Pacific slope.
Mitchell Informed the interviewer that
the Pacific coast, especially Oregon, is
wild for Grant, and that his observa-
tion, during q three weeks journey to
Washington, in the western states, and
subsequently in New York and the
east, convinced him that the ratio Of
popularity of the three most prominent
names mentioned, ARE the same through
out as he found to. be the case on the
Pacific coast, NAMELY: Grant first,
Blaine q strong second, and Sherman a
good third. Mitchell also predicted
that Grant would be nominated by ac-
clamation, and added, that nothing
would prevent this except an unquali.
fled declination on the part of Grant
himself.

New York. Oct. 11-To-night at the
close Of the match for the O'Leary belt,
the greatest enthusiasm was caused
about $50 O'Clock when O'Leary strobe
beside little Briody, and great laughter
and clapping of hands succeeded as
Dan was obliged to run to keep up with
Lilliput. Murphy went to his room at
S:37 p. m., having sos miles and lap
to his credit. At S:45 he reappeared.
Mahoney, the big. solid man, walked
behind the boy and his barrow, bearing
the American flag. In this way two
laps were made, the band playing, men
cheering and posing hats, and the wo-
men tossing flowers upon the barrow
and waving handkerchiefs to the boy.
Murphy then retired, and a little be-
fore 9 O'Clock was taken quietly from
the building to his hotel, where he had
bath and received the crowds that
poured in upon him.
The official score is as follows: Allen,
452; Brady, 475; Curran, 450; Faber,
4SS; Mckee, 3O2; Malone, 467; Murphy,
sos; Pierce. 303; Russell, 452; Walker,

the 500th mile. The people had begun
to leave the garden soon after it became
known that Murphy had retired, and
hv tho t;noa Howard f,niahad hia 5(l0

ANOTHER ACCOUNT
OF THE RENEWED BATTLE.
Reinforcements Wanted Before the
Indians Can Be Dislodgedr
Other Matters of
Interest.

Rawlins, Oct. 11.-Rumors are cur
rent here tonight and are authenticat-
ed by information obtained direct from
Gen. Merritt's command, through a
citizen named Duffy, who left the COM
mand ON Thursday morning, that ever
since Gen. Merritt reached Captain
Payne's camp he has been fighting the
Indians. The savages seem determined
to keep the troops from reaching the
agency, and have fortified themselves
on commanding position. They have
constructed line Of Notifications out
of rocks. and are continually at work
strengthening their position, and to
dislodge them will require additional
force.
Col. Bracket, of the Third cavalry,
with detachment of six companies Of
cavalry and two of infantry, will leave
for the front on Monday. Horses to
remount the dismounted men of Capt.
Payne's command will be sent forward
on tomorrow.

Mrs. Langtry in Court

London, Oct. lin the police court
to-day Mrs. CORVALLIS West charged
Mr.. Rosenberg, proprietor of 1o,cn 1alk,
with stating that she was in the habit
of calling on photographers and asking
for commissions on sales of her photo
graphs. Her husband testified that the
statement was untrue. He said he had
done all in his power to prevent the sale
of his wife's photographs.
Mrs. Langtry charged Rosenberg
with stating that her husband had filed
a petition for divorce, coupling the
names of the Prince of Wales, Lord
Londenborough and Lord Lonsdale as
correspondents in action. Her husband
testified that the statements were un-
true, said he lived with his wife. and
never thought of filing petition fol
divorce. Rosenberg was remanded in
default of bail.

Atlanta, Oct. 1.-THE judge of Bald
win county and delegation of citizens
reached here this morning to ask the
governor for a military force to suppress
the Georgia Tigers, desperate organ
ization who holds possession of half the
comfy and defy arrest. They killed
two men on Tuesday and burned sew
eral houses. They have killed in the
past three years twenty men and wo-
men, mostly negroes. The governor
sent one of his staff and number OF
detectives down, and will send the mil
itary If needed. The members Of the
legislature in the appointing counties
have been telegraphed by their families
and have gone home. The feeling here
is intense. The scene of the disaster is
only one days ride from here.

Memphis, Oct. 10.-The fever is now
confined principally to colored people
and those whites who have returned to
the city. Hundreds of houses are dan
gerously infected, persons having been
sick and died in them in this year. The
board of health system of fumigating
and disinfecting with sulphur has no
effect in stopping the spread of the
disease. Our pest and most scientific
physicians look upon disinfection, fun.
igation and quarantine as nonsense,
as the fever breaks out among the best
and worst of the population, regardless
of cleanliness and filth.

the Utes. The very people who were
only the other day crying shame against
the British for treating the Zulu king,
their brave enemy, as a felon, and set

hanged and the lands Of the whole band
confiscated.

Col. Jenkins will push forward to Gun

Pueterex Humbert, a communist can

special Dispatch TO tne Leader
RAwLINs, Oct. u.
The latest news from Merritt,s COM
mand is of startling nature. A cou-
rier has arrived here with important
dispatches from Merritt, the nature of
which the courier is not aware. except
that mountain howitzers are asked for.
The courier states that heavy fighting
has been going on since Tuesday morn
ing. At that tinie an attempt was
made to dislodge the Indians, who were
located on the commanding bluffs.
Their position proved too strong. The
whole force Of troops we're brought out,
when the Indians retired to line Of
natural Notifications about three miles
nearer White Riveragency. Gen. Mer-
ritt took advantage of this move and
transferred his camp to the open ground
on Milk creek, where the hostiles could
not reach him from the surrounding
bluffs. The stencil at the other camp
compelled the change, and better
position was secured near water.
A reconnoitering party was sent out
under command Of Capt. Montgomery,
of the Fifth cavalry, to feel the enc
my's position. 1t was discovered to be
almost impregnable, and evidences CIV
en- that over 500 Indians were en-
trenched there, This proves that rein
forcements came from the southern
Ute agencies.
Gen. Merritt had posted the various
companies of his command, several
being infantry which had arrived the
day before, on eminences near the In
dian line, and poured in heavy fire.
Still shot for shot was exchanged, and
the Indians showed that they we're well
armed and had an abundance of am
munition. At one time they tried to
cut of one company of troops, but
were driven back to their entrench-
ments in hot haste.
Through field glasses the Indians can
be seen piling up rocks to make their
position more secure. and they seem
determined to stay.
Three companies under Col. Comp
ton were ordered to make detour and
flank the Indians, but the nature OF
the country was such as to prevent it.
The Indians know every rock, and as
the road leads through canons and
bluffs, they knew the advantage OF
their position.
With mountain howitzers Merritt
thinks he can drive them away from
their present position. Should their
supply Of ammunition fail they would
naturally retire and the troops are
enticing their fire.
Several privates have been killed and
a number wounded. One officer was
wounded slightly--a new lieutenant. 1t
is not known how many Indians were
killed or wounded. The smoke from
their camp fires rolls up regularly.
Tho command is in no danger of an.
Inhalation, although the Indians seem
to be numerous enough. They will
probably remain on the defensive.
The situation on Wednesday night was
stand off. The savages yelled occa
sionally and fired stray shots, probably
to let the troops know they were still
there.
Another courier may be in tonight
