NEWS BY TELEGRAPH.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The In
dian agent at Fort Belknap reports
to the commissioner of Indian affairs
that camp of twenty-one lodges of
British bloods recently crossed the
line and camped near his post. They
were we'll supplied with meat and
were very impudent. They waited
upon the agent in body and de-
manded feast, and upon his refusal
set fire to hay on a meadow and ex-
hibited other hostilities. They are
now camped five or six miles from
the fort, and the agent says that they
intend remaining there some time
He suggests that the military take
the band in hand and show them
across the line at an early day.
A telegram from Gen. Sheridan
at St. Paul, received at the war de-
partment and forwarded to the COM
missioner of Indian affairs, says that
the commanding officerat Custer tele-
graphs that Lieut.. Lapoint, I'd cavalry,
at Berayo landing, with information
that thirty lodges of Sioux are south
of the Missouri on their way to Tongue
river to make friends with the whites.

port that Sitting Bull, with 5000 war
riors has moved over from French
mans creek to this side of the line.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-It is
learned at the war department that
positive instructions have been sent
to Gen. Miles in the northwest, re-
curing him to proceed cautiously,
and if possible avoid conflict with
the Indians. Gen. Sheridan, it is I'M

E. Fl. Walker, statistican of the
New York produce exchange, esti-
mates that the wheat crop of the
United States for the present year
will amount to 385,00O,000 bushels
The estimated deficiency for England,
France, Germany and Italy will make
a large draft upon this amount, since
there will be little obtainable from
Russia, though good shipments are
expected from Australia, British In
dia, Egypt and Roumania.

General E. Bouton, of Los Angel

General E. Bouton, of Los Angeles,
was recently waylaid by three men
a few miles out from that place and
lashed to wagon wheel, it is sup
posed for the purpose of robbery,
but as there has been a business
trouble between the parties that may
have been the cause of an affray.
While Bouton was tied he managed
to get a hand around to his hip pocket,
and drawing pistol shot and killed
one of the parties, man named John
Wakefield, and wounded both the
others who fled to the brush where
they are still hiding. Bouton at once
got himself loose and returning to
San Gorgonio, gave the alarm, and
posse was started out to hunt the two
wounded men, who so far have not
been found.

Observation-Disclosures paper
is being bought up for shipment to
Great Britain and France. Until
lately it had no value at home, but
the demand abroad has given the
notes an appreciated value in this
country. The cause of this apprecia-
ton abroad is not stated. Perhaps
the idea prevails that by reason of
the lost cause supporters gaining the
ascendency in both houses ofCongress
they have made large purchases with
the view Of ultimate payment. En-
couragement, no doubt, is taken from
the attitude affairs have lately assumed
in the Councils of the nation.

Seattle papers speak in doleful
terms of the strike among the hands
at the coal mine. No less than three
of the Coal Campany's fleet, the bark
Gem Of the Ocean, the ship Ezdorado
and the Barkentine WeJtoot are in
port waiting for cargoes. The last
carload of coal has been shipped, and
if the difficulty at the mine is not
speedily settled, vessels will have to
go elsewhere to find cargoes. This
is an unlooked-for calamity to the
people of Seattle.
