NEwYoRK, July PA WASH
ington special to the World says:
Notwithstanding the news of a
fight between some Of MiIes's
forces and Sitting Bulls Indians,
officials at the Interior Depart
ment continue to declare that
there is at present no necessity of
collision. The English Indians
who have come over the border
among the Crows are on q hunting
expedition, and have come in par.
ties of from twenty to thirty lodges.
There have been several fights be.
tween the Crows and these intrud-
Ing savages, as there Is not more
thaa enough game in that region
for the Indians of the Agency. For
the seven thousand five hundred
Indians there the Department has
an appropriation of $4,000. and 1t
Is absolutely necessary that they
should have all the game of the
conntry TO be properly subsisted.
Although the Sitting Bull Indians
ale taking away the needful food
of the Crows the Department
thinks they may be got rid of with
out any fighting by Miles, and is
Inclined to the opinion that Miles
has gone to Milk River with a
smslFforce of 800 simply as corps
Of observation.
NEW YORK, July Oath. - The
Public of to-day, discussing the
great revolutions now at work in
the relations of railroads to each
other, and the great trunk lines,
says: The Kansas Pacific, as a rival
Of the Union Pacific, was failure;
as an arm and ally it ought to be
largely profitable. The Wabash
and Kansas City and Northern,
standing isolated apd at the mercy
of other lines, barely paid expenses
and interest; but as parts of a great
route from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, they may change in value as
rapidly as did the isolated roads
which were welded together years
ago to form the Vanderbilt com.
bination. To the changes in value
that may thus be caused within u
year, or even within week, there
Is absolutely no limit, save those
which the conditions in each case
may fix. Suppose, for example,
that the Union Pacific and Penn
sylvania should unite to lease all
the roads necessary to connect
them, and guarantee dividends on
stocks, would anybody think the
advance in the prices of such stocks
the result of crazy speculation?
New York C,ty's Claim Axnrnst
Paciac Mail.
ANEw YORK, July 24.-The Pub
ltc calls special attention to the
favoritism of officials towards i'm
pecunious corporations like the Pa
cific Mail. The city, it seems,
holds a judgment against the Pacit-
ic Mail for over $4,000 on overdue
taxes, and sundry prominent citi-
zens were bOndsmen for the Com
pany. But it has seemed good to
the officials of the city to make
some private arrangement un-
known to the public, by which the
Company has thus far escaped liza
bility for taxes, which, it is admit
ted, the Company Is unable to
pay. Through that secret ar
rangement, the bondsmen of
,he Company appear to be released
from all liability as to the debt of
the Company; and unless the city
enforces Its laws with due dilig-
ence, probably 1t NAV not be able
10 collect dollar. We hear that
an officer went on board one of the
ships Of the Company with war
rant for its seizure, but was induc-
ed to 60 away, taking his warrant
in his pocket, by arrangements of a
character best known to him and
to The Officers of the Company.
