WASHINGTON, ID. C., Dec. 31.-Secreta-
~ SchurZ received two dispatches from
Gen Hatch, written at Cline's rancho
the 29tlI and Both insts. One informs the
secretary for the first time that among
the Indians offered for surrender on the
25lh inst. but whose surrender. was not
received, were Douglass, Hostile Chief
and several other principals in the Meek
er massacre The last sentence Of the
other dispatch seems 10 indicate that, af-
ter Gen Hatch refused TO receive the
surrender of these Indians, they were
permitted To 20 TO the Lower Grand riy-

not likely To be found again for month.

umphed in his manipulation of electric

be used successfully to turn night into

importance of this discovery to those

to support the luxury of gaslight will
soon be able to provide the electric light

for ordinary kerosene lamps. Senator

good results that it is planned to con-
