The Apaehes Committing Depreda-
fions.
CHICAGO, July Pa Times special says
that the passengers from the south bring
information that the Mescolero Apaches,
or q large portion Of them, have broken
out, and news has reached Fort Stanton to
the effect that Chiefs Mintzilla and Roman
Chicto, with their bands, had left the
agency and had killed two Mexican fam
lilies and some Americans in Luboroco
Canyon, near the agency. The nearest
troops are ct Fort Stanton. No informa-
ton has yet been received at military
headquarters here. The military force in
the southern part Of the Territory is very
small, a large portion having been drawn
of duty in the country. Captain Frank
Bendett, just in from the Navajo agency,
reports that the Navajos are still ugly:
that they told Agent Eastman, in his
presence, that they would kill him should
he persist in remaining at the agency.
Their head chief believes that the Govern
ment will m him, and they therefore
have delayed carrying put their threat,
but men who know the Navsjos all say
that unless the Government does take him
away there will be trouble, and he will
surely be killed.

MINNEAPOLIS (Minn.), July 2S.-The
prompt action on the part Of the friends
of Governor Pillsbury here, has probably
prevented a repetition upon a small scale
Of q tragedy like that which laid the Pres
ident at deaths door. Since the attempted
assassination of the President, Thomas
j. CRADLE, q neighbor Of the Governor,
has maintained q mysterious mein, and
gone about the n~eighborhood assuring his
friends that he had a great work to per-
form, and when urged for an explanation
on several occasions asserted it to be the
shooting Of the Governor. No attempt
has been made by CRADLE to carry out
his threat, but he has given such unmis-
taxable evidence Of insanity, especially
since Guiteau's crime, that he was taken
into custody yesterday and taken to the
asylum Of st. Peter for treatment. Grad
die has heretofore been very much re-
spected, and in every way a respected citl-
zen. He is an extensive contractor and
builder.
Conkling Quits Politics.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-An evening pa
per publishes a interview with ex-senator
Conkling here to-day. In reply to a ques-
ton as to what his future course would be
in the political world. Conkling answered

prevailed here on account Of a rumor Of
an attempt to shoot Governor Cornell. 1t
appears that q stranger walked up to the
stoop of the old Capitol building and was
about entering when Superintendent Hyde
noticed the strange man, who was carrying
an old-fashioned gun on his shoulder, and
asked him where he was going. He re-
piled, II am the Adjutant-G General Of this
State" Hyde at once saw that the man was
probably crazy, and fearing that some
harm to the State officials was intended,
asked for the gun. The stranger declined
TO give it mp when q struggle ensued for its
possession, and Hyde secured it. 1t was
unloaded. The stranger, who is evidently
recovering from q spree. gave the name Of
Patrick McLane, q blacksmith Of White
hall.
