creek, eighteen miles south of the
boundary line, July ~, aud reports
that after the action on Beaver creek
the hostile Sioux engaged fed north
ward, leaving their property scattered
along the trail for fifty miles. The
Indians apparently only waited to be
assured of Miles approach when the
whole camp stampeded like herd Of
buffalo. Scouts returning
from the trail left by the retreating
hostiles reported every sign of a hasty
and precipitate fight, abandoned te>
pees, robes, blankets and other savage
possessions that strew the trail as guns
and knapsacks line the path of a re-
treating army. It was apparent that
the trail led toward the permanent
camp of the Sioux at Wood Mountain
in the British possessions. Gen,
Miles led hasty pursuit to the point
where the trail of the Indians crossed
the British boundary without finding
any living trace Of theira presence.
From there he had returned as far as
Rocky creek on his::way to Milk river,
when the dispatch was sent. All in
formation of the number of the enemy
is gained from the officers of the Ca
madam mounted police, who have

so thoroughly frightened that there is
little fear of their immediate return,
but all necessary precautions have
been taken. Scouting parties are
covering the country between Poplar
creek and Wood Island creek, and in
terposing between the hostiles and
the buffalo. Gen. Miles does moi
share in the solicltude for bis safety
entertained in the East. He says hif
command is sufficient in strength and
organization to drive any force Sitting
Bull can gather. he expresses the
belief that Lambert and his family
whose murder by Indians was report
ed, were killed by q small war party
of Uucpapas returning north from be-
low the Missouri. He reports many
half-breed trains scattered over the
country selling ammunition to the hos
tiles. These a!f-breeds, il is vel
known, are British subjects, and there

comes from. Gen. Miles further re-

nights lamenting the rashness with
which he was courting certain destruc.

rated savage has been making his best
speed out>of the way Of the leisurely
march of the Long Knives. Gen.
Miles has strictly sobeyed his orders.
He has not preoipitated a collision
with Sitting Bull, for the reason that
the latter did not wait to give him an
opportunity but he has cleared the
country north ofthe Missouri river of
every hostile savage, by the mere ter
ror of his name. 1t will be remem-
bered what the'situation was when the
last news came from Miles, command.
Struggling bands Of hostiles from all
the infested country had hastened by
converging lines to join Sitting Bulls
main band, which was hunting buffalo
near the upper waters of Frencbmau's
creek. Miles had marched some DIS
tance up the valley of that stream and
was waiting to see the effect Of his
approach upon the Indians. Dis
patches received by Gen. Terry at de-
partment headquarters, late yesterday
afternoon, show that the effect was ali

Effects Of Opium and Nicotine.

The report that Senator Carpenter
is killing himself with nicotine by
smoking twenty cigars a day is a re.
minder that others are suffering from
the same sort of excess. Most Of the

mouths all the time. There ARE Sen.

down the avenue without the stump of
cigar between their fingers. One
prominent man in Congress is rapidly
killing himself with opium, and one

GREAT RAILROAD PROJECTS.

Two great railway questions are touched upon In
the RepuJiique Francaise namely the line which the
French government is seriously thinking of con.
structing in Central Africa and the Indo European
Euphrates Valley project. On the former subject
the French paper gives summary Of the pro-
posals and the means of executing them. It ID
another example Of the great energy Of which
France is giving proofs both at home and abroad.
The general idea is to make the Soudan tha
centre OF three lines starting from Algeria in
the NORTH from. Senegal in the west and Gabou
in the south. The three principal French settle
ton would be carried into the heart of the unknown
continent. Some OF the regions to be traversed ara
known to be FERTILE and. should the vast enterprise
succeed. France alone would reap the benefits to be
gained by opening up new and extensive fields oil
traue and commerce. With regard to Gabon. pos
session the Gulf of Guinea. practicable way has
yet to be found via Ogoone. Benone and Lake Tchad
post of Medino and thence from st. Louis
to Dakar and Bamakon. The most i'm
portant explorations will. however. have to be
for the line from Algeria to the Soudan. No lesG
than four proposals have been made. and each has
its advocates. One of them would go to the Great
Salt Lake OF Amadghor, most important strategi-
cal point, from fourteen to fifteen hundred kill
ometres distant from Timbuctoo on the west and
Sokoto on the south. Much remains. therefore, to
be done. But the commission is by no means idle.
Numerous subcommittee have been formed The
government has named officers to explore
tain regions, while the Geographical Society
of Oran will send emissaries to other parts.
Among the names Of those appointed to fulfil
these duties M. Duveyrier M. Soleiilet and
Colonel Flatters. With regard to the Indo-Euro-
pean line the Repubique Francdtse gives sketch OF
Commander Cameron's project. 1t approves Of tho
selection of Trpoli as the starting point on the
Mediterranean OF the railway. which would reach the
Persian Gulf via Aleppo. Mossoul Bagdad and Mon
scher. The completion of this line would merely DO
question of money The construction of a railway
from Trpoi to Aleppo would, i'll any case. be
good beginning; but the French paper considers
that unless the road continued by the side Of
the Persian Gulf to the frontier of india it would
give England strategical advantage. The delay
in the two trans-shipments of troops at Trpoi and
est route after all.
