GOOD NEWS.
GEN. SHERMAN AND THE UTEs.
Preparing for the Red Devf1s-Ready
TO "Piteh In.-Interesting Ex-
tract from the Generals
Annual Report

Washington, Nov. 3.-Gen. Sherman
devotes large portion Of his ANIMAL
report to the Ute troubles. He intro.
duces the subject with history Of the
tribe. These Indians. he says, are Of
the worst class, and occupy the rough.
est part of our country for farming,
grazing or for military operations.
Their management is complicated by
the fact that their country is known to
possess mineral deposits, which attract
bold and adventurous class of white
men. They are very warlike, and have
no difficulty in procuring in exchange
for their deer skins, horses and sheep,
any amount of the best rifles and am
munition. As long as the game lasts
they will not work or attempt to farm
except in the smallest and most ridicu-
lous way, and that only by compulsion.
'.I.will here record my Judgment that
Maj. Thornburgh was an officer and
gentleman OF whom the army had rea-
son to be proud of. He was young,
ardent, ambitious, of good judgment,
and no man could have done better in
life and met death with more heroism. -
Gen. Sherman continues: Il believe
that Maj. Thornburgh acted from the
beginning to the end right; so did Mr.
Meeker, and the crimes afterwards
committed rest wholly ON the Indians I"
The report then recites the events
incident to the death of Maj. Thorn.
burg, the killing OF Lieut.. Weir and
the murder Of Agent Meeker, and en-
braces various dispatches and military
orders relating to the subsequent
movements of the troops.
The following dispatch will show the
objects arrived at, aud are the orders
existing at this moment of time:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, |
Washington, Oct. "a, '79.
To Gen. p. H. Sherid an, Commanding
Division, Chicago:
have received your three dispatches
Of yesterday, giving an account of the
killing of Lieut.. Weir, and the strength
Of your forces at White river and Forts
Garland and Lewis. All these seem
strong enough, and are well command
ed. Let all preparations proceed, and
be ready the moment I give word to
pitch in. Should Agent Adams fail in
his mission, l understand the civil
authorities will stand aside, and the
military will take control of this whole
Ute question. and settle it for good and
all; meantime, humanity to the captive
women and friendly Utes, even Of the
White river agency, justified this SEEM
ing waste of time.

CAMP ON WHITE RIVER, Oct. 81, I
VIA RAwLINs, Nov. 2, 1879.
On the goth ult. two white men came
In, who stated that they had come from
the southern Ute agency for the white
women of this agency-Mrs. Meeker
and daughter. When they arrived they
weres. informed that Gen. Adams had
started south with them. Ute Jack
had them sent in to see what terms
Gen. Merritt would give 200 of the
Utes If they surrendered. They would
come in if allowed to retain their arms
and ponies but that, of course, was out
of the question. The answer was that
II they wanted to come in they would
have to surrender Internationally. The
white men were afraid to take the
answer back to Jack, SO they staid in
camp, and that was the end of it.
Parker's train arrived to-day with
forage and clothing. All except about
seven wagons start back tomorrow for
more supplies.

New York, Nov. 3.-John Kelley's
career as candidate for governor in
New York rapidly makes him rival
of Kearney. Perhaps he envies the
unique seccess Of that preposterous
demagogue and thinks that our Attain
tic coasts hould have Kearney as well
as the Pacific coast. Like Kearney he
refuses everybody who does not obey:
like Kearney, every editor who does
not carry with honor and incense the
''licentious press" like Kearney, he is
rapidly becoming the sand lot orator of
New York. We trust, however. that
after the election Kelley will become
calm again and show in his future
coreer that he has return to sober Sec
ond thought.

Judge nelrord,s MinlnG nill.

A short time since the LEADER
published the full text Of Judge Bel
ford's new mining bill. The judge
asked for criticisms, and the following
comes from the Leadvllle Herald:
The new mining bill prepared by
Judge Belford, contains many features
of Importance to this camp, chief among
which are the provisions confining the
working of claim to its side lines, and
giving the locator ninety days in which
to prove up. This latter provision has
been somewhat criticized here, having
been construed to mean that a man
must reach mineral within ninety days
from the date of location. Considered
carefully, however, this provision is an
advantage to a miner who really means
business, for it prevents any encroach-
ments upon his side lines by parties
who, having means, may be attracted
by the indications developed by poor
mau. The most prolific source of
trouble in this camp has been the fact
that when a prospect has been sunk to
a point where the indications are good.
organized capital has come in and
laying out claim directly across that
already partially developed. has sunk
shaft to the mineral and surveyed in"
the poor man who may have spent
months in earnest strivinps to reach
the deposit. Under Judge Belford IS
bill, however, no man can interfere
with another in any way whatever un-
til after the expiration of the ninety
days, and then the original locator has
the advantage OF so much work on his
way to the mineral, and IL diligence has
been used, will be too far ahead to offer
inducements to capital to enter into
competition on the same location. The
side-line provision is well understood.
and. and is just what many miners have
been praying for ever since the com
mencement Of the camp. Altogether,
Judge Belford's bin seems to be the
one thing needed for the greater the
greater prosperity ef Leadville.

New York, Nov. 3.-Panama ad-
vices say that Paraff, the oleomargen-
inc swindler, who went from San Fran
cisco to Santiago, and organized min
ing frauds there, and was imprisoned
two years ago, has been sentenced to
five years exile in Valuidla under
guard. Paraff's fraud in Santiado en-
tailed the loss of many thousands OF
dollars upon several of the most esti-
mable members of the community, who
for time solemnly believed in the
hupbug. Works costing hundreds OF
thousands of dollars were erected at
Santiago for the reduction of ores, &C.
cording to the Paraff method.

OUR EGYPTIAN NEEDLE.
A Slight Delay Experienced In G

A Slight Delay Experienced In Get
ting II into Seaworthy Condition.
New York, Nov. 3.-The recent diff
ficulty concerning the obelisk has its
origin in long standing litigation with
the Egyptian government concerning
the land upon which the obelisk stands
The Italians, claiming this land, forbade
Lieutenant Commander Gerringe to
proceed with the work of removal. The
Italian vice consul at Alexandria sup
ported this prohibition, but the Ameri-
can consul had an interview with the
italian consul at Cairo. and through
the goodwill of the latter the Italians
withdrew their opposition upon receiv-
ing from Commander Gerringe a slight
compensation for the use of the land.
The commander is now proceeding
rapidly with his work.
Although several holders of Egyptian
bonds have threatened to sequester the
obelisk, the khedive and the American
vice consul both ridicule the idea that
| it can be seized by anybody.

Gen. Grant Talks.

Omaha. Nov. ga banquet was
rendered Gen. Grant last evening by
the citizens. About sixty invited
guests were present.
After dinner speeches were made by
the general and Senators Saunders and
Paddock.
The general was quite witty. His
tongue sedms to have become loosened
in Nebraska as he made speeches at
every stopping place after striking the
border line.
An hours reception was held and
then Gen. Grant and wife with Mrs.
and Gen. Crook drove to military head
vuarters at Ft. Omaha, where they re-
mained all night.
The weather has been unfavorable,
dusty and cold.

SWEET FOLLY.
What the. Intelligent Authorities
Think OF Indian Matters.


Think OF Indian Matters.
Washington, Nov. 3.-News was re-
ceived last night that the White river
Utes are willing to surrender for pun
ishment the members of their tribe who
murdered Agent Meeker and his en-
ployes inspire both civil and military
officials in Washington with cenfi-
dent hope that all Indian difficulties In
Colorado may soon be permanently
ended.
There appears to be a very general
belief in army circles that one certain
outcome of the events which have
already taken place will be the restora
tion of a very large portion of the pres
ent Ute reservation to the public do
main, and the consolidation of all the
bands upon some suitable reservation
in southwestern Colorado unless, in
deed, arrangements still more satisfac-
tory to the people of Colorado can be
effected by securing the peaceble con-
sent Of the Indians to be removed
wholly outside of the state boundaries.
1t seems more likely, however, that a
consolidation will ultimately be made
In accordance with the recommends
tions of the Morrill, commission upon
the Chiama and Navajo rivers.
Aside from other manifest advan-
tages Of the removal of the White
River Utes to the southwark, it would
further carry out what has long been
the policy of our government to keep
all Indians as far away as possible from
the Pacific railroad and establish wide
band of unmolested territory along that
inestimably important line of communi-
cation across the continent.

age of our ancestors SO fitly framed,
aud the wisdom and courage of their
descendants have SO firmly maintained

tice to successive generrtions.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. "A tremen-

the Delaware and Hudson mines at
Mill creek, Pa, this morning.
Geo. Wassie, Daniel Rupp and ].
Kinney, have been taken out dead, and
