Narrow Escape.

Since the Ute outbreak the Nez Per
ces at the Salt Fork Reservation have
repeatedly threatened Agent Chap
mans life. Last Monday-so says the
Denver "Tribune-Mr. Chapman was
told to stay away from the councils,
as they did not want him. But Chap
man seized occasional opportunities to
secretly listen to their talking around
the council fire, and by his intimate
knowledge Of their language soon learn
ed that their purpose was to kill him
that night to facilitate their escape
from the reservation. One Indian
avowed his intention to shoot him
with revolver, several of which had
been secretly retained by the Indians
Mr.. Chapman went at once to his tent,
occu pied by squaw for cook, poured
a washpan Of water on the ground and
with the mud smeared his face TO dis.
guise his color, then took the sguaw i
blanket and put it on, at the same time
drawing it over his head squaw fashion
Thus attired, having divested himsel
of his usual apparel, Mr.. Chapman sal
lied forth and passed purposely clos'
to the council fire, still surrounded BY
Indians, and made his escape into tn
brush without attracting any attention
Once out of sight he made all haste t.
reach the stock rancho of the Deal
brothers, on Salt Fork, where he ar
rived after some hours in an almos
exhausted condition, SCARED and bleed
ing and his shoes in tatters.

rue Foreign Element in New York
L,nu tho New York Times

From the New York Times.
1t is commonly said that New York
is, in respect ef population, substanti'
ally foreign city;that more than 6oo,.
600 of its citizens are of alien BIRTH
The number of Irish citizens is usually
given in round Members at 100000; Of
Germans at 200, 900; Of French at %.
600; of Italians. Spaniards, Cubans
at 1900 This is an exaggeration and
great one. The native population ex
ceeds the foreign by about 1876, ,ooe.-
According to the census OF 1870, there
were 20l ,999 Irish "A, 442 English. =,
$50 Scotch, 1jl,2l6 Germans, s,26t
French, 2,794 Italians, 2,737 Austrians,
9, 1893 Pcles, 2,l7s Swiss l,231 Hollan-
ders, ], Isl Russians. This is very
large proportion Of foreigners, certainly
but nothing like the proportion suppos.
ed. They were then 1902 coiored
persons, who have largely increased
since. The women are reported tc
have increased also, there being, nine
years ago, an excess over men of more
than $4,000. The Chinese are much
more numerous than they used to be-
The census of 1870 gives but II, and
there are, it is said, over 700, some
putting the number as high as 1000
The census Of 1850 will show many
changes, and probably notable in
crease in population, especially as two
wards have been added since 1870. II
is thought that the native population
has gained considerably on the foreign
since the last census, and that figures
will show the gain.

SENATOR David Davis, OF illinois, Is
reported as saying in arecent intervie"
that "if General Ewing shall he defeat
ed in Ohio. Grant will surely be tht
candidate next year; and if a candi
date, will be elected; and If elected
will never leave the White House
alive"
We doubt very much If This is true,
but if it is, it must mean that the Demo
Gratis are plotting to murder Grant, OF
that Grant will undertake to overthrow
the Republic if elected. If he means the
first. Davis knows more than honest
men should know, and if he means the
latter it shows that Illinois has about
three hundred pounds of fool more il
it than is beneficial to her.

R,,t,.h C.pture Of Cabul.

The British troops in India are stlli
marching on and their last victory Is
the capture of Cabul the capital OF Al
ghanistan. They hardly know, how
ever, whether to call the capture oisuch
capitol a victory or not, as no enemy
could be seen and there was nothing
left for them to do but to march IN ana
take possession Of the miserable nut
built city. But even after they have
taken possession of it they scarcely
know what to do with it for they have
been there before under somewhat sih-
liar circumstances and they nave haa
to leave it again pretty much as they
found it. The painful fact with 'he
British troops is that occupying city
ia vastly different from conquering
country while the great mass OF the
Afghan population occupy the hills anu
Businesses of the mountains and may he
said to be almost unconquerable by the
means of modern warfare. 1t was mol
a lack of bravery that impelled the
Afghans to allow their chief Guy
to fall into the hands Of their enc
mics, and the fact that they offered no
resistance worth speaking Of to the
British on their march does not
detract in the least from their warlike
character, but it is rather oommenda-
BILE warlike strategy on their part, They
are sufficiently civilized to know that
they cannot successfully contend with
disciplined troops under European OIL
GERS and armed with modern implements
of warfare, but being guerillas by ma
ture and by necessity they rather invite
the British army into the country away
from the base of supplies where every
tree, rock or clump Of bushes hides a
foe. There they know that at least
they have the power to harrass and de-
stroy, until finally the remainder OF the
army will be compelled to march back
again without conquering the victory
for which it came. There can be nc
doubt of the ability OF the British tc
hold Afghanistan il they occupy 1t in
force, but to accomplish any thing IL
that line will cost so much in men and
money that by the time the thing Ii
accomplished the British people will be
likely to wish that they bad let the
,Afghans severely alone.

men at Bermuda Hundreds, wished to send flying
column capture tho City of Il chmond that night,
but was opposed by his corps commanders, not one
of them being willing to take command of the ex-
petition. The following is the language used in
the book
On the morning OF the 5th General Buffers army
sailed mp the James preceded by the navy, and al
SEEING the only two salient points on the river below

So far as am concerned there is no truth what
ever in the foregoing statement, and Dr. Bland
could easily have ascertained as much by simply
asking General Butler himself. never opposed or
had opportunity or occasion to oppose, any move
ment or expedition IN the direction of Richmond,
either on May any other time, and the COM
mand of the expedition was never offered to me,
