Pacific never carried any freight between San
Francisco and Sacramento. Since 1865 there
has been opposition on the river nearly two
thirds of the time. During these strong
oppositions. have known freight to be carried
as low as fifty cents per ton. The material

AN INDIAN WAR.
Savages on the War Path in New
Mexico.
MANY MURDERS REPORTED.

LAS VEGAS, N. M, Aug, 1.-THE renegade
Indians are on the war path in earnest in
Southern or Southwestern New Mexico. Re-
ports of numerous depredations and murders
committed by them are coming in every hour.
A party of about fifty to seventy-fve Indians
crossed the Atlantic & Pacific railroad near
Bacon Springs late yesterday afternoon. This
same party killed seven persons about ten
miles from Ell Rito. point on the Atlantic &
Pacific, fifty miles south of Albuquerque, last
night, and another party of dozen Indians
surrounded and fred into gang of section
men six miles south of Lincoln, on the Eel Paso
branch of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
road. The section men made their escape I'M
hurt. The Atlantic & Pacific Railway sent a
special train to the front last night with fifty
well armed men, and another train with about
seventy.fve we'll armed men left Albuquerque
at o'clock this morning for the scene of ac-
ton. kilograms from private parties are fast
coming in ordering firearms and ammunition.
Later reports say that the Apaches are in full
force fifteen miles south of Acona, station on
the Atlantic g. Pacific Railway. Several
ranches have been destroyed and number of
men have been killed and others are missing.
An Acona Indian who was captured by the
Apaches last night made good his escape, and
one will strike the railroad near McCarty s
and the other east of Laguna. Sixty Laguna
scouts are out. Forty of them are mounted,
but have not as yet reported. Later news just
coming from Ell Rito is that last night Next
can was driven in from Garcias ranch, twenty
five miles northwest of that point. He re-
ported that band of fifty Apaches had MUIR
dered five of the herders and two boys A
Pueblo came in Ell Rita at midnight. The In
dams had murdered his wife end two children
but he made his escape on horse. The Mex
leans and Pueblos have been securing the
country all night. Three scouts who came
in this morning said that the band was en-
camped at Salt Springs, fifteen miles from
there. The company which went to the front
from Albuquerque yesterday afternoon are not
able to do any amount of work on account OF
having no horses. 1t is supposed that Tran.
quillo Luna, who left Los Lunas with COM
pany of men two days ago, is driving the In.
dams southwark.

THE RAILROAD WAR.

MIR. vanderbilts Desires-Rates Going
Still Lower.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.--The railroads give the
eastern roads till September / to settle
the matters in dispute about refund
ing the emigrant tax levied on west
ern companies. At special meeting of gener-
al passenger and ticket agents to-day new rates
were made and an agreement signed to main
tain them. 1t was resolved after the Goth inst.
10 base limited rates from points east of Chica-
go and st. Louis TO Kansas City and beyond
on the So rate from Chicago to Kansas City
and the 81 rate from st. Louis, using regular
local first and second class rates to Chicago
and ST. Louis as the basis. The same through
rates may apply to Colorado and Cheyenne and
points west via Omaha as via Kansas City. Az
bitraries west of Council Bluffs must be pro-
tected.
New YORK, Aug. 12.-The Commercial
says, relative to the railroad differences:
From an unquestioned source we learn that
the point at issue is relative to the insertion of
clause into the agreement creating a COM
mittee OF arbitration in the event of any of tho
companies cutting under the others. Mr..
vanderbilt naturally opposes this. He desires
full fve.years' agreement, duling which all
OF the companies will pool their earnings and
draw therefrom the percentage allotted. The
two companies that desire the committee on
arbitration are Understood to be the Erie and
the Pennsylvania. We are assured that this
is the only split, which in itself is so triflng as
not to interfere seriously with the final ad just
ment. Mr.. Vanderbilt is represented as op-
posing the creation of such a comm ittee, on
the ground that it will afford the companies
standing loopholes to cut under each other''
The passenger fate war continues. Tickets
from New York to Chicago were sold yester-
day morning by two lines for seven dollars
straight. and by two for sly, with rebate of
$40 at Chicago Agents say they do not ex-
pect any material change from this tariff at
present. Tickets were sold from New York to
Kansas City for $12, reduction of $40 from
Wednesdays rate. This reduction is said to
have been caused by the competition between
St. Louis and Kansas City and Chicago and
Kansas City, scalpers at the former points
selling unlimited tickets bought daring the
last passenger traffic war in connections with
the cheap fares prevailing now.

The Tallapoosa Fitted Up for the Presi-
dent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE United States
steamship Tallapoosa, which has been under
going repairs and fitting out for sea during the
past month, has been thoroughly completed
and will be manned tomorrow. Assistant
Paymaster Henry u. Smith, formerly of the
Dispatch, has been transferred to the Talla-
poosa. In conversation this morning, Mr..
Smith gave a description of the manner in
which the vessel has been fitted out. A suite
Of rooms has been prepared expressly for the
use of President Garfield in the event of its
being found practicable to take him out ON the
water, when he becomes sufficiently strong to
warrant his being moved from the Executive
Mansion. The suite consists of four compare
lively large rooms, including bed chamber,
reception and ante.room and a hath room.
Paymaster Smith says if it is determined to
take the President on the vessel a swinging
bed will be hung in his chamber for the pur-
pose of preventing the patient from being an
noyed by the motion of the vessel. A steam
heating apparatus has also been placed in the
Presidents quarters, whereby the four rooms
can be kept perfectly dry and warm. This ar
rangement is said to be principally for use
during the continuance Of foggy or damp
weather. There can be nothing definite said
as to what will be determined upon shou Id the
President rally sufficiently to be moved, but
the attending surgeons have expressed them
selves in favor of q trip on the water, providing
the same would be found agreeable to the
patient.
DR.. Bliss Wounded.
When DR.. Bliss returned to the White
House to attend the midday examination to-
day he carried his right arm in sling. Upon
being asked the cause therefor the Doctor 81
have received little pus poisoning" Fur
Their inquiry elected the Information that
during the operation which was performed on
the President on Monday morning last, the
doctor accidentally struck the instrument
which had been used to make the incision,
receiving small cut on his forefAger The
wound, although Slight, became irritated and
is now considerably swollen, and it is supposed
that with the cut he received some of the pus
which had adhered to the instrument.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Flour Mill in st. Louis Burned by
Lightning.
FEARS OF CONSIDERABLE LOSS OF
LIFE.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 12.-To-night the ex-
tensive Touring mills corner of Main and
Plum streets was struck by lightning and is
now a mass of ruins. An explosion seems to
have instantly followed the stroke of lightning
and nearly all the upper part of the mill burst
open and its walls cracked and were riven
from top to bottom. The bolt had scarcely
touched the building when fire issued from
every part, and in half an hour the mill and
its contents were completely destroyed. A
number of men at work on different floors re-
ceived serious, perhaps fatal, injuries. 1t is
feared several persisted in the flames. but moth
ing definite is known at this writing. The fire
Immediately spread to the Future city oil
work, extending on Plum street from Main
street to the river front, and they are now
burning with intense ferceness. A warehouse,
containing rosin and turpentine, are now
burning. The Plum street depot of the Iron
Mountain Railroad is in great danger.
LATERf]
About 20 men were employed in the mill, all
of whom it is said are accounted for. Several
were very badly injured however. Loss on
tho mill, $140, 900: insured for 100000, main
ly in eastern offices. The oil works are dam
aged about $45, GOO, the principal injury being
to the refinery.
