THE steamer Alpena, of the Good
rich Line, which left Grand Haven, Mich,
on the 10th, for Chicago, was lost during the
gale of Saturday, the 10th, with all on board
about forty passengers and twenty officers
and crew. The schooner David A. Wells
went down near Chicago and eight men
were drowned. Other disasters are re-
ported.
THE United States Attorney-General
has given an opinion in the matter of Indian
Agent Berry, charged with completely in the
murder of young Jackson by the Utes, that
the case properly comes under State juris-
diction, and the military authorities have
been ordered to turn him over to the Sheriff
Of Gunnison County for trial. Cline is in
Jail at Gunnison City. The others implicat-
ed are at large. Governor Pitkin says there
need be no apprehension Of mob violence
and that the prisoners will have fair trial.
THE total amount of United States
gold and silver coin in the country October
was $685., 1871 ,003 gold and $149. 7S9, 1876 silver.
OF these amounts there are ST., 204 ,293 gold
in the Treasury and 1902 ,676, 700 in circula-
ton or held by banks, and $72,454,-
600 silver in the Treasury and
4,733 in circulation. In addition, the
Treasury holds $6s,O4O, $40 in gold bullion
and s., 557, 759 silver bullion, which the minis
are turning into coin. This is larger
amount of specie than ever before in the
country. The increase of gold bullion is
from imports of foreign gold the past year.
PORTIONS of the wreck of the steamer
Alpena have come ashore near Holland,
Mich, thus removing all doubts as to the
fate of that vessel. Several bodies have also
been recovered. Among the lost are Mrs.
Newton Bradley and her two daughters, Of
Santa Fe, n. NJ; Rev. Farrell Hart and
wife, OF White Pigeon, Mich; John Osborn,
wife and three children, Chicago; Mrs. S. b.
Cole, Ottawa, Ill. The only list of passen-
gers was kept on the steamer, and conse-
quently it is not probable that the precise
number ON board will ever be known. The
total number of lives lost is estimated at be-
tween seventy five and eighty.
The cut in passenger rates, inaugur
ated by the Wabash between Chicago and
St. Louis, has been promptly met by other
lines and extends to nearly every competing
point throughout the West. The prevailing
rate between Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas
City on the 20th was only $1.O0, while to
LEE, ,1o1r
Fort Wayne and other competing points
East and West the rates were correspond
ingly low. The Wabash is reported to have
sold enough ''unlimited'' tickets between ST.
Louis and Chicago to supply the probable
requirements Of travel between the two
points for two years to come. .r-ts
VICTORIO and his band have finally
been extinguished. On the 18th instant, as
reported, the Mexican troops under COM
mand of Col. Terrasas, overlook and at
tackled the Apaches, who took position on
two hills called Las CASTILLO. They were
here surrounded and compelled to fight I'M
til fifty warriors, including Victoria himself,
and eighteen women and children were left
dead on the field, and seventy women and
children were taken prisoners. The Indi-
ans were evidently almost out of ammtni-
ton and could not make much Of fight, as
there were but three Mexican soldiers killed
and three wounded. A large number Of
stolen horses were recovered.
A MOST severe wind storm prevailed
throughout the entire Northwest on the
night of the 18th and the following day, ac-
companied in the more northern localities
by heavy fall of snow. The Southern Min
nesota Railway was completely blockaded
by snow, the drifts in places being from ten
to twelve feet in depth. Great suffering is
reported in consequence of the
unexpected storm, especially to do
nestle animals, many of which
persisted. On the lakes the wind blew with
great violence, doubtless causing many dis
asters. The storm extended to Omaha on
the West, Michigan on the East, and to Cen
trail Illinois on the South, but its infiuencewas
felt in high winds and greatly reduced tenn
perature generally throughout the country.
THE Rock River Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, by vote Of
tO7 to A, adopted resolutions declaring that
the Rev. H. w. Thorn IS, of Chicago, holds
doctrines at variance with the historic the
ology OF the Methodist Episcopal Church,"
which peculiar views are alleged to be ''a
source of continued irritation to himself and
disturbance to the peace of our Church,"
and therefore requesting him to withdraw
from the ministry Of said Church. This DR..
Thomas fatty refuses to do, for various rea-
sons stated, chief among which is that the
complaints brought against him are purely
in reference to real or supposed differences
Of opinion as to the best methods Of stating
and explaining certain doctrinal points;
that he has used a liberty in expressing
views that to him seemed not only true, but
essential to the best success in his works,
and that he has certain personal rights
which he does not feel it his duty to surren-
der.
