TIE MUssEL SLOUGH OUTRAGE.

The Examiner. CT Monday gives full
account of the mass meeting called in
San Francisco to protest against the IN
generation of the Mussel Slough set
tiers who were imprisoned for defend
ing their homes and lands against the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. 1t
says:
The Mussel Slough fracas has within
it all the germs of a great movement.
IT is representative of the struggle Of
the future. People are beginning to
see that fact, and know that it is the
first great struggle between capital and
labor The Incarceration of the men
who defend their homes against the
aggression Of a giant monopoly, has
aroused feeling Of sympathy III or

Just beginning to realize the colossal
injustice OF the Mussel Slough outrage.
1t was piece of oppression which would
attract attention in Russia and raise an
instruction. No such fragrant tyranny
was ever before attempted by 4 corpo-
ration in the United States, and the
public are 10th to believe the facts, on
the ground that such outrages are i'm
possible in civilized country. The
men who settled on Mussel Slough
bought the lands of the Southern Pacific
Railway Company, controlled by Leland

they are driven Off us if they We're
tramps. For resisting such oppression
they now lie in Jail. a petition signed
by 10000 leading citizens of San Fran
cisco was sent to President Hayes for
their release, and no attention paid to
it. Abiding to this, A. a. Stout, one
of the speakers at the mass meeting,
said:
Now, then, we do not want any more
petition. We must stand on our dig
nifty and demand the release OF those
men Immediately, and if the doors are
not thrown open forthwith and the men
be restored to liberty, that we will open
the doors for them. [Appiause.7 This
is fearful outrage, and it behooves
every man who has the welfare Of this
country at heart to see that it is not re-
peated. Now, then, let us unite in one
solid body and pledge our lives and
sacred honor that we Will have justice
done, and that we will fight it out Oh
this line if it takes every drop Of blood
in this country. We want it distinctly
understood that we are not mob or a
lot of freebooters, but that we are true
American citizens. At the conclusion
of Mr.. Stout's remarks Mr.. Redstone
announced that there would be another
meeting at the same place next Sunday,
after which the meet ing adjourned.

FEARS ALLAYED.
Cause of the Rise in the Temperature
and Puise-The Danger Passed.
WASHINGTON, August Is.

WASHINGTON, August Is.
The uneasness in regard to the Presidents
condition. excited this forenoon by the high
temperature and pulse, was aliayed by the
lower figures at noon. DIR. Reyburn came
ont from the sick room after the midday bull
letin. and said that the trouble had been re-
moved. 1T was caused by retention of the
pus in the deeper parts of the wound. We
put in drainage tube at every dressing, and
draw out all the pus possible. We then thor
GU -hly wash the wound with an antiseptic So
luton. Yesterday the drainage was not as
full as usual. and suppose we failed to draw
out all the pus in the deeper parts of the
wound. 1t becomes thick and tenacious.
Some of it evidently remained, and caused
the fever of last night and this morning. To-
day we have very thoroughly cleansed the
wound, and the effect is seen in the diminu-
ton of the fever. There is a tendency on the
part of the outer portions of the wound to
heal, but it cannot be allowed until the deep
er parts have healed. l think that to- NOR
row you will see the temperature normal
again"
The President this morning asked to see
the newspapers and borrowed Col. Rock
wells eyeglasses in order that lie might read
the headlines and get an idea of the current
events for himself.

DIR. HAMILTON
Saws He is Confident that the President
Will Recover.

New YORK, August IA. The following is
printed as being dictated by DIR. Frank Ham
ilton at Washington, Saturday night:
There is not the slightest cause for the
anxiety felt by the public regarding the
President The slight flucturation in the
pulse and temperature from day to day has
no special significance. The causes are
often obscure, but slight and transient, and
ought not create in the public mind either
alarm or encouragement. The public can
Judge better as to his condition, by the fact
that from week to week, there is a general
improvement, at least it is safe to say no
general change tor the worse. very de-
cided improvement cannot be expected until
the pus secreting surface is diminished in
size, and for this. more time is required than
has elapsed since the last incision. You may
assure the public that the President will re-
cover if they will only wait patiently for the
result. 1t will be reasonable to expect a
more rapid improvement when the weather
becomes little cooler The hot weather is
one of the greatest difficulties we have to
contend against.

THE INDIANS.
Peaceful Indians Driven to the War
Path by Mistake.

WASHINGTON, August Is. The Indian
Office has received a statement from the
agent of the Mascalero Apaches at Fort
Stanton, that the Indians who are on the
war path in New Mexico, are party sent
of Mexico some time ago to bring in their
friends who had been with Victoria.
The Indians while on their return, accom-
panied by number of Victoria's party,
were attacked twice by the military and the
Indian scouts. Quite number of them
were killed, and the remainder despairing,
were unable to reach the agency and fed to
the mountains and took to the war path, as
the sole course which seemed to be open to
them. The agent is an officer in the army,
and supposed to have correct information.
The returning party which was attacked
was supposed to be on the war path, and the
second time, they had nearly reached their
reservation when the fight was renewed.
