On a Tour of observation-No Necessity
for Fighting-At Least. This is
What the Interior De-
partment Says.
Washington, D. c.. July 24.-Not-
withstanding the news of the fight be-
tween some of Miles forces and Sitting
Bulls Indians, officials at the Interior
department continue to declare that, at
present, there is no necessity for any
collision.
The English Indians who have come
over the border among the Crows are
on hunting expeditions in parties of
from 20 to 80 lodges each. There have
been several fights between the Crows
and these intruding savages, as there is
not more than enough game in that re-
gion for the Indians of the agency. For
the Z 800 Indians there, the department
has an appropriation of only S75, 900,
and it is absolutely necessary that they
should have all the game in the country
to he properly subsisted. Although
the Sitting Bull Indians are taking the
needed food of the Crows, the depart
ment thinks they may be got rid Of
without any fighting by Miles, and is
inclined to the opinion that Miles has
gone to Milk river with small force of
800, simply as a corps of observation.

THE ZULU WAR.
Particulars of the Great Battle mar
Ulundi.

Particulars of the Great Battle mar
Ulundi.
Capetown, July S, via Loedon, July
24.-The question whether Cetewayo
will surrender or not is of little import
ance, as in the event of his proving
stubborn, the British can place his
brother Oham, who surrendered some
time ago, in possession of the lower and
far more fertile part of Zululand,
by assuring Oham some little support
at the commencement of his reign, and
establish complete bulwark between
Cetewayo and the British colonies. The
continuation of the war would be an
arduous and fruitless task, as beyond
Ulundi the country is a wilderness,
where the difficulties of transportation
would exceed anything yet experienced.
The official return of the British losses
does not include those amongst the ma
tive contingent.
The Zulus were compelled to pause by
the heavy fire, when they arrived within
sixty yards of the British square. Eye
witnesses differ greatly as to the per-
sistency with which the Zulus pressed
the attack. This probably arises from
the various positions from which they
witnessed it. The most circumstantial
narrative shows that the Zulus came
with a magnificent rush, in dense
masses, on the rear of the square, and
seemed determined to get in close
quarters. The attack on the left flank
was not nearly so determined, as that
was protected by gatling gun, which
the Zulus greatly dreaded.
The estimates of the Zulu losses vary
so greatly as to show that they are pure
guessing; the highest is 1900 The
dead were lying thickly around the
square.

Among the number are Chas. A. Sta

of tents furnished by the government

specials state that inquiries among the
physicians concerning the progress of
the fever reveal nothing new. Some
insist that we have varied types of
malarial fever; others claim that we
have the genuine yellow fever, but not
nearly SO bad as in 1873 or 1878.

A BLooDLEss DUEL.

Yellow Fever

Memphis, July 26.-A duel took place
yesterday at point fourteen miles east
of Columbus, Miss, in the state of
Alabama, between Capt. Hum phreys
and Maj. Moore. Five hun dred people
witnessed the affair. The combatants
fired upon each other at a distance of
ten PAGES, with Smith & Wesson revol-
vers, but without effect. Maj. Moore
fired Immediately upon turning, while
Capt. Humphreys took cool, deliberate
aim. After the first fire, friends of the
parties pressed the seconds to take ad-
vantage Of the regulations of the code,
which was done, and the affair ended,
both their honors having been satisfied.
The duel grew out of difference in
politics.

Ottawa, July 24.--With reference to
the reports from American sources that
Sitting Bnll's band is ON the war path,
the department of the interior does not
credit any such rumors. Recent ad-

satisfactory.

Poultry raisers will find it for their in

east If not wholly. Chickens which will
Io to sell in August will bring nearly
t"lce as much per pound as in November,
ana it costs very little more to raise them.
Dt course 1t required more care to get
them started early in the season and after
that, the cost is about the same as with
ater chickens, To have chickens ready
for market in August they should be
Matched in April and kept in thrifty
growing condition right along all the time
TILL they are killed for the market.
Any one who has warm, comfortable
place for poultry can have the chickens
Matched in April without much extra care.
After they are hatched, for day or two
they need very little food, except little
milk for drink. After that they NAV be
fed upon milk, corn meal, and wheat
mlddlings mixed. Milk either sweet or
slobbered affords excellent food for chicks.
and on farms where it can be obtained,
should be fed to them freely. 1t promotes
thrifty and healthy growth. Boiled po-
tatOeS mixed with corn meal makes good
feed.
The chickens should be regularly fed
with all that they need every day and
kept in as thrifty a condition as possible
all the time until they are fit to market.
When OF sufficient size, dress neatly send
to market early and get good price for
them. In August and September fancy
prces frequently prevail for good fat
chickens in Boston market. The Domin-
lques and Plymouth Rocks are said to be
we'll adapted to early market

How little is known Of the mother Of
Napoleon Hence, while speaking OF the
Baltimore Nine. Bonaparte, | may add Il
paragraph concerning the original OF that
name. Ictitla, the wife Of Carlo Bona
partr, was married ut Il. and became
the mother ot thirteen children, Of whom
five died IN infancy. She was only ~
when Her second child, the wonderful Ma
polcOn, was born. At the age of 81 She
was left widow, with eight children, OF
whom three were daughters Joseph the
oldest, and Napoleon were then attending
school, and the remainder OF the family
was soon compelled to remove from Cor
sica to MarSeilles to escape the dangers
Of war. Within two years from this time
L.etita BOnapartc saw her second son the
first General in Europe. When he became
Emperor She removed to Paris, and was
appointed protcctrcss OF charitable lnsti-
tutions. She was then 81, and her in
tense anxiety concerning Napoleon rem

one years, and had survived not only Ma
poeon, but also her two daughters, Mario
and Pauline. NO other woman was the
mother Of 50 many monarchs; for while
Napoleon was Emperor, her oldest son,
Joseph, was King of Spain, while her
youngest, Jerome, was King of Westpha-
