AMERICAN CLIMATES.


Valuable Information for those Suffering
from Pulmonary Diseases.
Our preconceived ideas of excellence of
climates for the cure of pulmonary dis
eases have undergone marked changes Of
late. 1t may be remembered that, some
fifteen years ago, consumptives were sent
to Minnesota. A carefully-prepared pa
per in Harper's Magd-ine furnishes an
analysis of American climates, which con-
tains most valuable information for those
suffering from lung diseases. In looking
at the thermometrical tables, we find that
the mean difference between summer and
winter, In Minnesota is 50 81, and that in
OF some thirty.fye we'll known places,
stands next to the very last. In fact, the
differences are even greater than in New
York. 1t is startling to learn that, in an
estimate made Of consumptive people Wis
iring Minnesota, but one In fifteen recov-
cred. Of course. this does not mean that
for normal constitutions Minnesota is
hurtful, but if man or woman has weak
lungs Minnesota is not the place tor them.
An admirable climate may be found in
San Diego. Cal, where the mean difference
is but 1888. First, of course. Of all places
for consumptives is Funchal MADEIRA.
Here, with a winter of 62.Ss, summer is
7019, the mean difference being $40.
st. Michael's in the Azores, stands second
on the list, with 1870; then Santa Cruz,
of tine Azores, with 1908. Between st.
Augustine. Fla, and Naples. the former
being q. IL and the latter 22.33. there is
an advantage for st. Augustine. In
Aiken the dIfferedce is 3l.54, about one
degree only of the thermometer inferior
to that of Genoa. Three important facts
have to be examined by the physician in
the choice of locality for weak-lunged
patient. First, that the climate shall be
equal slight differences between day and
night. Second, an equal climate slight
range between the months). Third, and a
most important one, equability in the
moisture. One new element seems also to
be necessary, that of rather barometer
cal pressure. The conclusion DR.. Coan
arrived at is, that in the United States
the climate Of San Diego, Cal, is the best,
as San Diego stands fifth on the whole
list.

THE INDIANS.
The Uprising Of the Utes.

New YORK, October 3. Gov. Pitkin of
Colorado, says of the Ute Indian uprising,
that trouble has been brewing all summer.
The Utes have been burning forests and
grasses for over 800 miles and lately several
settlers houses.
Warrants were issued for the arrest Of two,
but the sheriff and posse were unable to find
the criminals on the reservation.
General Pope, at my request, sent a con-
panv of cavalry to the sherii-s assistance.
Meanwhile agent Meeker had trouble with
some members of the tribe. and Gen. Pope
ordered Col. Thornburg to protect him, and
il was on th. mission Thornburg met his
death The Ctes have 1000 warriors. of
which 500 confronted Thornburg, all armed
with Winchester rifles
This attack had no provocaton. Unless
removed by government these Indians will be
extermnated. The State would be willing
to settle this trouble, at its own expense, if
the general government would permit it.
A Rawlings special says it will BE- impossi-
Bile for General Merritt's advance to reach
Thornburg before Sunday night or Monday
morning, before which time suffering among
the survivors will be very great if they are
able to retain their position that long. No
grass along the route and it is necessary to
transport all forage for all animals by
wagons.
RAWLINGS, October 3. All the troops in
this department are ordered to hold them
selves in readiness at a moments notice to
proceed and concentrate at this point. Mcr-
ritt's expedition will number about 1900 men.
There also have been 100 from the depart
ment of Dakota. Gen. Crook will come on
at once to take command.
OMAHA, October B. A ranchman who ar
rived las; night from Snake river, says he
heard firing in the direction of Milk Creek
early the 3Oth, the day after the fight was
reported This is the latest from the vicinity
of the battle.
DENVER, October 3. The southern ties
are mostly peaceable. The discontented
ones are supposed to be with the band that
attacked Thornburg. No trouble at the
southern agencies anticipated. There are
troops enough to protect the settlers. No
aggressions have been made on reservations
of northern Utes by miners. North Park
miners are some distance from the reserva-
tions,
No tidings have been received from Payne 5
command. Two companies of cavalry left
for the front this morning, and six companies
of infantry will also leave in the morning.
Gen. Crook will arrive tomorrow and pro-
coed to the front to take command.
The silence from the front indicates that
the worse may be expected and fears are
entertained for the safety of Payne's COM
mand. Gen. Merritt's cammand is expected
to arrive at the battlefield Sunday afternoon.
1t is the opinion of many that the Indians
are now many miles away from the battle
field and that the troops will be compelled to
| follow them into the mountains.
