index.

views of the general of the army, which
have been concurred in by the secre-
tary of war, on the subject of the trans
portation of horses and baggage of an
army officer who has been ordered to
his home preparatory to his being re-
tired, are respectfully furnished for
yonr information and lguidance, viz:
when an officer is ordered to his home
preparatory TO being retired, it is a
favor, not Il duty, and does not carry
compensation for horses or baggage
other than the usual baggage contem-
plated by the allowance for transporta-
tion of self.'n

A better pleased audience than that
which assembled last evening at Recre-
alton hall to witness the humorous and
pathetic characterization of "Uncle
Dan1," could scarcely be found. The
caste was all that could be expected
and more. For each performer was
well up in his part, and admirably
adapted to it. The plot of the play Of
fered numerous "pictures,'' and the
players always made the most of them.
Not to make an invidious distinction,
gallantry will pardon compliment to
Lizzie Ulmer, who so perfectly and be-
witchingly filed the character of
Clip" She had the sympathy of the
audience throughout, and when they
departed homeward it was with an
earnest wish that Clip" had indeed
found u happy home with "Unele

The Buffalo Gap Disaster.

Deadwood, Dakota, June 16.-Si,
bodies so far have been recovered a
Buffalo Gap-that of Davis, the freight
er, going south, three men, names un
known, accompanying him, Oliver
Rhodes and Frank Reed. The bodie.
of Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Rhodes and he,
three children are still missing.
Montgomery Bros. and Clark's outfit:
we're loaded with $4,000 pounds of gen.
eral merchandise, having only forty
shoes and forty dies for the Homestake
company. There was no machinery
for the new Homestake one hundred
and twenty stamp mill, as previously
reported, that being all in and the
mill almost ready to commence run
ming. The entire freight outfit is a
total wreck Us the water rose rapidly
and there was no chance of escape.
Nothing was known of the disaster at
Buffalo Gap station, one mile distant,
until 8 O'Clock the following morning,
too late to render any assistance to the
helpless people.
Beaver creek has now gone down,
and men are at work clearing away
the debris with the hopes of saving
some of the freight, but it is scattered
for miles, and progress is slow. There
isno way of getting any authentic new $
from the scene except from freighters
coming in.

That Adjournment.

Washington, June 16.-Tbe senate
committee on appropriations are in
clined to recommend tomorrow that
the resolution for final adjournment be
returned to the house with an amend
ment fixing next Saturday us the date
but in view of the certain veto of the
judicial bill it is quite probable that
the senate Will refuse to name a day
earlier than the Gath inst, as there
would otherwise be no time for decorous
consideration Of the veto message.
Spectators differ widely as to what
will be the immediate result of the veto
of this bill. Predictions are made that
a sufficient number of democrats will
unite with the republicans to pass the
bill forthwith, ,divested of its extraneous
provisions, but careful inquiry fails
to discover adequate grounds for ex-
pecting any such coalition to be formed
during the remainder of the present
session, although it may very possibly
occur soon after another extra session
commences. There seems to be no
doubt that both houses will adjourn
very soon after the veto is received,
and without making any provision for
judicial expenses. The question now
discussed with most interest in WASH
ington is whether the president in that
event will reconvoke congress imme-
diately or allow things to take their
course until the deficiency can be pro-
vided for at the regular session next
December.

lowing was the score: Brown, 70 miles,
10 laps; Weston, n miles, 3 laps; En-.
mis-, 62 miles, 6 laps; Harding, 5S miles,

cent walking done by Weston, who was
only couple of miles behind Blower
Brown. The following is the O'Clock
score: Brown, 80; Weston, 81; Hard
ing. 10; Ennis, 20.

Canada Wins.

New Castle-on-Tyne, June 16.-The
start was made from a point off the
Mansion house. The weather was fine
though duh, and the water was beauti-
fully smooth. There was an immense
concourse of spectators, and twenty
steamers laden with passengers, followed
with the race. Five to two on Hanlon
had been laid during the morning, but
he came into much better favor just
prior to the start. Elliott won the toss,
and took the northern shore. After
some delay, at 1915 the men got off in
capital start. Hanlon dashed off at
the rate of forty-two strokes to the
minute, and at once drew to the front.
Elliott struck out at the rate of forty
strokes to the minute, and exerted all
his enormous strength, but splashed
now and then, and his boat did not
travel well. Hanlon got lead of four
lengths at Red Hengh bridge. Time
for first mile, 6 minutes, 11s seconds,
the Canadian leading by five lengths.
Hanlon now slowed down, and content
ed himself with keeping the advantage,
eventually winning very easily by eight
lengths, In the good time of 81 minutes,
l second. There was an enormous
crowd at Scottswood, who cheered
Hanlon to the echo.
Sporting reporters say that such a
performance as that of Hanlon to-day,
has never been seen in British waters.

New York, June ia short but
destructive wind and rain storm this
afternoon. A great numberof trees were
prostrated, some houses unroofed and
plate-glass windows broken. A sail

the inmates rescued with difficulty. An
other storm in the evening during which
the Coney Island steamer Twilight,
crowded with returning excursionists,
was run into off the Battery by the
Thomas Collyer of the same line. The
excitement was great on board the
Twilight for some time but all the pas
sengers were safely landed by the Coll
yer. The Twilight was badly damaged.

Panama, June The United State:
steamer Adams arrived on the 4tl
from Callao under date of May eth
bringing the following details of recent
events: The Chilian fleet appeared of
Callao on the 22d, but learning that
the first division of the Peruvian fleet
had gone south, steamed away in pur.
suit, in the meantime, the Peruvian
fleet Lad learned from passing vessels,
and by telegraph, that the Gillian iron
clads had sailed from Iquique, leaving
their only small wooden corvette, the
Esmerelda, dispatch boat, the Cava.
donga and the transport, Liami. The
Huascar and Independencia, Peruvian
iranclads, Immediately steamed to
Iquique and attacked those vessels.
The Huascar after summoning the
Esmerelda two or three times to sur
render, which was answered by broad
sides, at last rammed the latter which
sunk almost instantly carrying down
about 150 men, about forty men were
rescued and sent ashore as prisoners.
In the meantime the Independencia
made chase after the Cavadonga and
Limara, which the commander was
anxious to capture but not destroy.
The Cavadonga, whose captain was
very familiar with the coast, steered
very close to the coast leading the In
dependencia into water where she was
certain of destruction. The Independ-
encia followed blindly and at Point
Grussa, going at full speed struck a
rock and became total wreck. The
Huascar came to their assistance and
finding it impossible to save her, took
off the crew and port armament, set
fire to the vessel to prevent her falling
into the hands of the enemy. The
Cavadonga and LAMAR escaped. Com
mander Moore, of the Independence,
was half mad in consequence of the
loss of his ship and had to be guarded
against attempting his life.

How the English Do 1t.

London, June 16.-Rev. Mr.. Talmage
preached yesterday at the Islington
Presbyterian church to an enormous
congregation. Much curiosity was
evinced by the people to see the famous
American preacher. A dense crowd
blocked the streets leading to the
church. The enthusiasm was immense.
Half mile before the Presbyterian
church was reached the carriage Of the
reverend gentleman was lifted from the
ground and carried bodily to the
church. 1t was one of the most tre-
mendous ovations ever paid to an
American minister in London.

messed. Hanlan won the race with
great ease by nearly dozen lengths.

Boston, June 16.-It is not yet GER
tain that Ben Butler will run for gov
ernor this year. He cannot run with
any hope except as the regular demo-
cratic candidate, and as such he cannot
hold the republican malcontents who
trained with him last year. The revi-
val of stslwart politics has weakened
irregular movements. Butler is at
present nondescript in politics. One
idea that has been suggested by some
of his followers, is to keep him out of
the gubernatorial race, unite the demo-
Gratis and greenbackers on CASTOR for
governor, and reserve Butler for sena-
tor in place of Dawes.

John w. Young's Wife.

New York, June 16.-!The Sun to-
day says: Libbie Garfield, the first wife
of John w. Young, the oldest son of
the deceased Mormon prophet, Brigham
Young, was in Newark, N. j., last
night visiting former school mate.
On Saturday she started for Salt Lake.
She is native of New Jersey; her
parents are Presbyterians, and she was
an adherent of that faith. She married
Young with the understanding that he
would not marry a second wife. She
lived happily with her husband until
the death of his father, who decreed on
his death that his son should take
another wife. The Mormon apostles
subsequently confirmed this decree, and
Young obeyed. His wife separated
from him, parting as good friends.
While visiting Newark Mrs. Young
said her husband did not want to marry
another wife, but was forced by polyga-
mists to do so, in order to show the
Mormons that he was true disciple of
his father
She returns to Salt Lake to superin-
tend. the collection and shipment of
wool from her many head of sheep. She
personally manages her farm.
VIM. NJ. Lent appears to have settled
down in business here, having opened
a fine suite of offices for dealing in Bodie
stocks. 1t is understood he is also
going into the Black Hills mining oper-
ations, reports from which continue to
show wonderfully profitable results
from heavy masses of low grade, but
cheaply worked ores

Veto Speculations.


Washington, June 16-Besides being
Admitted on all hands to-day that
the judicial appropriation bill will be
vetoed, it is also currently reported
that the president contemplates vetoing
the legislative and executive appropria-
bills, on the ground of its alleged OBJ
scurity and faultiness of construction.
This rumor appears to have no founda-
tion, however, except in the fact that
the accounting officers of the treasury
department have been directed by
Secretary Sherman to report.
Whether they are likely to find any
insurmountable difficulties in construct
ing its complicated forms of appropria-
tion, and there seems to be no probabil-
ity whatever that they will report their
inability to act under it., although,
unquestionably, its phraseology in
some respects, is clumsy and involved
to an unprecedented degree,
A variety of reports are in circula-
tion tonight concerning the outcome
of the difficulty created in the demo-
cratic senatorial ranks by Bayard's
threatened resignation of the chair
manship of the finance committee, but
the following may be accepted as the
correct statement of the present situa-
tion in regard to it:
Bayard, and Herman also, declined,
thus far to enter into any arrangement
to report back the Warner silver bill to
the senate this session, even with an
understanding that it shall not be con-
sidered by that body until next win
ter.
