Such excuses as were committed by

Tacna cannot be justified by any com

call forth protests from every citizen
and government. Foreign Intervention
should put a stop to war, which, in.

waged on principles which would call q
blush to the cheeks OF savaaes. The
result Of the recent election in France
shows conclusively that. the cause Of

retarv nf the Treasury that during the
past fiscal year Sl23, ,2sl ,9l6 OF mt rnal

the entire amount paid into the treas

the total amount OF taxes received by

been paid into the treasury. The sala'
ries and expenses of the bureau will be

Sloner pays high compliment to the
collectors, and adds that during
the past four years well sustained
effort has been made 10 suppress the
illicit manufacture and sale OF whisky
aud tobacco in a number Of districts in
the Southern States, where Tor many
wears these practices have been rife.
During that period 3,S74 illicit stills

five officers employed killed and fifty
five wounded while enforcing the laws.
Ii il gratifying to ba able to state that
fraud on the revenue mas been greatly
reduced, and violent resistance to the
law has practically ceased in all OF these

that violations of the laws and the spirit

ANICE LITTLE ROMANCE.

The Wind Knocked Out of Another
Campaign Story Gen. Hancock Slight
ly Indlsposed.
New York, August 3.-General Han
cock has been for a couple of days suf-
fering from slight indisposition, caus-
ed BY a bilious attack, but is now re.
covered. The callers this week, for
tunately, have been few, and the
General has had an opportunity for
rest and recuperatlon.
A campaign article which recently
appeared in the Cincinnati Gazette, and
was copied with comments in New
York paper, was brought to General
Hancock's attention, and was the cause
of considerable merriment on his part.
The writer pretends to give an account
of a pilgrimage by some Confederate
Brigadiers and a motley crowd from the
West and South to Governor 8
Island. Among them was the poet
joaquin Miller. The writer describes
the reception in quiet but elegant
room, where there was "a side.board
with the usual accompaniments." No
such party as described has at any time
visited Governors Island, and no such
interview took place.
The poet Joaquin Miller, in company
with General NJ. T. McMahon, did call
on General Hancock for few minutes
some days ago, but was received in the
parlor. The article, with this element
of truth only, is lie out OF whole cloth
The writer gives himself away badly
when he represents his pathway from
the dock to the residence OF General
Hancock as beset with sentinels, 80 that
he fancied himself in Russia, where can.
non and bayonets are the only peace
makers. In fact, however, there are
only two sentinels at any one time post
ed on Governors Island.

Rsilroad-A Road Projected from
Cheyenne to Puget's Sound.
WASHINGTON, August 4.-Jay Gould,
like other great men, has a weakness on
which he prides himself, and that is
passion for being mysterious. Some OF
those in his employ are not secretive,
however. A gentleman who happens
10 be in Washington discloses to-day
one of the gigantic schemes OF the Pacific
road king. Ii seems that he looked
very jealously last winter at the pro-
gress made by the Northern Pacific peo-
Pile toward securing an extension OF
time for the construction OF the road
without fOrieiting their immense land
grants, and he has decided upon a
coup do.u that will be a severe blow
TO that enterprise, or else hurry
its managers up materially. GOuld's
plan is none other than to head OIL the
new road by branch of the Union
Pacific running to Puget Sound. Tie
has had the mountains full of surveying
parties all summer. They have pushed
their exploration rapidly in all direc-
tiOns to discover the best route for the
INV u
starting point. Gould has two objects
in view. lie will get to Puget Sound
ahead Of the other fellows with their
road, for one thing, but he is also conf
dent that he can make half way stop
ping place, as it were, that will pay
that Is the National Park, on the Yellow
stOn'. He thinks hecan turn thousands
OF summer tourists in this direction
that will ensure the profitable venture
thus lar, and afford new starting point
whence he can push aud cross the un.
snnsn wilderness TO the Pacific shore.
lie is looking every day for his survey.
orS of the first hundred miles TO report,
and will decide upon the course and un-
dcr,ake To build this much before Janu-
ary lst next lie thinks he will pass
within twenty miles of Fort Laramie,
and thence on TO the vicinity OF Fort
Mcklnnie, where the road will lead
west through the Big Horn country to
Yellowstone Park. The speed with
the enterprise is pushed from the Ma
tioral Park will depend somewhat upon
the progress male by the Northern Pa
cl6c Company, as Gould's only object is
to iores;a!l them or frighten them into
a suspension OF work, il possible.

Money Wasted on Useless Publication.
WASHINGTON, August 4.-The Nation
al Board OF Health are publishing a
weekly "Bulletin" at the Government
expense, which is about the most use
less publication ever issued from Gov
ernment printing Office. The pages are
about the size Of those in tine Congress-
ional Record, but the contents are even
more dull and uninteresting, if that be
possible. The publication has almost
reached its +45th page, and is clear
waste OF money. Each week the death
rate in the principal cities is
given. but the so-called knowl-
edge is utterly valueless, as a weekly
death rate in city is no possible critic
rion to what the yearly death rate may
be. Besides, to know the death rate to
population is of no value unless the
population is stated correctly. In the
death rate tables in the Bulletin, the
population OF st. Louis is placed at half
million, Cincinnati at 2S0,0U0 and
Buffalo at 10000. OF course such errors
in population make a death-rate table
based on population utterly valuless,
but as nobody reads the Bulletin, no
harm is done, except the waste of money
in the senseless publication.

Terrible Condition Of Affairs in
Indian TerritOry-A Bloody
Battle Imminent.

VINITA, i. T., August Son the 10Th
OF July two Creek negro cattle thieves,
named Manlay and Jones, were hanged
near Gibson Station, Creek Nation, 1t is
supposed by Texas cattle men, who had
lost sixteen cattle while driving through
that neighborhood. This seems to have
aroused the colored men OF the Greek
Nation, who accused the Cherokees oil
hanging the thieves. On Tuesday morn
ing thirteen negroes crossed into the
Cherokee side, swearing they would Kill
the first Cherokee they met. Two Cher
Okee BOYS named Cobb and Cowan, who
had been to ellison, returning home
were met by these black devils and fired
upon. Cowan was badly wounded in
the face, and his horse became frlghten-
ed and ran away, carrying him out OF
their reach.
Young Cobb showed fight, and leap
ing off his horse began returning the
fire, falling back as last as he emptled
his revolver, loading as he ran toward
his uncie's house. a mile away, but was
shot down when near the house, and
died in three hours.
The Cherokees are greatly lncensed,
and have demanded the thirteen negroes
OF the Creek Chief, giving him until to-
night to surrender them, when, II they
are not given up, they declare they Will
90 after them.
The Creeks are said to be willing to
surrender the negroes, but it is thought
they will not be able to do so, the ne
groes being too strong for them.
IL was difficult for Chiefs Bushyhead
and Adair to restrain the Cherokees
from immediate vengeance, and they
will be unable to keep them oil the
Creek territory longer than tomorrow
morning.
There are three hundred armed men
now on the ground, and more going. A
fight is almost sure to take place to-
morrow, as the negroes are about two
hundred strong, and we'll armed. A
large number will leave here tonight
for the battle ground.
