Fight with she Indians.
DENVER, Colo, Aug. 23.-Santa
Fe specials give the following &C.
count OF fight in Lake Valley a
few days ago: Lieut.. Smith and
his force of twenty men had been
on the trail several days, and by
forced marches overlook the Indi-
ans near Mowers ranch In Lake
Valley District. The Indians were
strong in plumbers, and Smith at
tackled them expecting reinforce
ments from the troops following
some distance behind. The sol.
diers were being rapidly shot down
when, at a critical moment, Geo.
DAILY, with his force of twenty min
ers, arrived and joined in the fight,
and the Indians were routed with
great loss. They however carried
off their dead and wounded, so that
their exact loss could not be ascer-
tanned. The whites lost Geo. Da-
ly, Lieut.. Smith, and four men
killed and eleven wounded. The
killed and wounded, except DAILY,
are all supposed to have
been soldiers. Daly's party
grew out of the attack by the
Apaches on his camp in which the
Indians were opposed by all the
miners of the camp, Daily COM
manding, and repulsed. DAILY at
once collected twenty men and
started in pursuit, overtaking the
Indians as above stated. Smith,
was one of the best officers of the
Ninth Cavalry and had engaged in
several Indian campaigns and was
several times, during the war, bre-
veted for gallantry. Lieut.. DIM
mick, with Il company of cavalry,
and Lieut. Taylor, with twenty In
dian sconts, who were but a few
hours behind Nana's main band,
arrived during the evening and,
without stopping, continued the
taken the indians before this,
as the latter would be
considerably delayed by car
rying or burying their dead. The
hostiles are near the Mexican line,
evidently making for chihuahua,
and are we'll armed and mounted.
The Mescaleros who have been
fighting with Mana are trying to
sneak back into the agency by
twos and threes. A company of
cavalry has been ordered to guard
HilIsborO and Lake valley settle
ments, and, if possible. cut off or
hold Nana's band until Taylor and
Dimmick Overtake them.

WASHINGTON, October ct is announced
that President Arthur will reside at the
house OF Senator Jones, of Nevada, until
the adjournment of the senate's extra ses-
sion, after which he will probably live at
the Soldiers Home until the repairs to the
White House are completed. At present he
receives the heads OF the different depart
ments every day excepting Saturday between
l and O'Clock, and other visitors Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday. The first Cabi-
net meeting OF the new administration will
be held next Tuesday, by which time it is
expected all the members of the Cabinet
will have returned to Washington. The
President positively declines to hear any
applications for public Office, and thinks
that the minor offices vacant should be filed
by the heads of the various departments
The EUening Star says: "PresIdent Arthur
will be present at Yorktown during nearly
alls If not the whole, of the ceremonies. Il
is not known yet who will accompany him.
All Of the $40, 600 appropriated by Congress
for the Yorktown Centennial has been ex-
pended. There will be deficiency which
Congress will be asked to make good. The
celebration has assumed proportions and
necessitated expenses which were uuthought
of at the time the appropriation was made.
Treasurer Gilillan to day received a letter
from the President of a bank in South Caro-
lima, stating that the people of that State
would not take silver certificates as current
money and asking If he could pay themout
on checks of the United States disbursing
officers. The Treasurer replied that the stand
ard silver dollar, which is a full legal tender,
could be offered, and the people who pre-
ferTed il to the certificates could take It IL
stead, saying that in his experience he found
that the Ger ificates were usually preferred

DOUBTS OF ARTHUR.
his Sincerity as to the Star Route
Cases QuestiOned-A Chauce to GeG
Even " Ith LRhn sherman.

A Washington special to the New Or
leans Democrat says: Everything that
President Arthur may say or do that can
throw any light upon his real attitude
towards the star route investigation and
prosecutions. is watched with deep in
terest. 1t is not doubted that he will say
"hunt the rascals down." but there are
grave fears that he will not give the At
torney General the cordial support that
is necessary to bring the guilty to justice.
Mr. Arthur now knows from an extended
interview with the Attorney General that
the net has in its meshes some very large
Republican fish. l have excellent au-
thority for saying that it is doubtful
whether he will not give merely nominal
support to the prosecuting officer, how
ever loud may be his public professions
of determination to bring the guilty to
justice. General Garfield hesitated at
first, and after he had made up his mind
to push the investigation to the end with
out regard to the consequences to friend
or foe, powerful influences were brought
to bear to divert him from that purpose.
1t is not too much to say thatit was only
the application of more potent influences
that kept Garfield in line with James
and MacVeagh. Now it happens that
the Republicans, not to speak of Demo
Gratis involved in the star route swindles,
are of the wing of the party to which
Mr.. Arthur belongs. and it is not to be
wondered at that he is suspected of an
intention to smother justice by mad sup
port of the prosecution. On the other
hand it is urged as a controlling reas2p
for contrary course on his par, e. It
the evidence collected is within easy
reach of the leaders of the Democratic
party and will certainly be used to over
whelm Arthur's administration and the
Republican party if the prosecutions are
not pressed to their legitimate conclu-
sion.

Mrs. President Arthur.
Ell Perkins.

1t is settled that Mrs. McElroy, the
Presidents sister, will not be the mis-
tress of the White House. The gOssips
now ask: Who will be? The newspapers
have chronicled the Presidents where
abOuts for the last two days, except when
he has slipped out of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel unattended. Where did he go
then2 l will let the secret out. He called
on the widow of Marshall o. Roberts,
corner of Twenty-first street and Fifth
avenue. Arthur is managing man; and
to marry young widow with $4O 600 a
year will be as good thing as the Presi-
dency itself. Mis-. Roberts was formerly
a Miss Endicott The family were in
moderate circumstances, but the daugh-
ters were always good managers.
She is now about thirty-fve, with
a fair face, which seldom smiles.
She has one child, about three years
old. She would manage the White
House in a very aristocratic manner.
Her ideas are anything but democratic.
The burden of conversation among her
old school friends when she married the
rich eight-millionaire Roberts was, 90,
she doesn't know us any more" When
Mrs. Roberts gave her first reception on
Fifth avenue, none of her old friends
were invited. In their place the house
was filed with the rich and aristocratic
many of them persons the young wife
had never seen before. A young lady
who was so intimate with Miss Endicot
as to take beaux TO introduce to her at
her humble home was, after her mar
riage with Mr. Roberts, "cut dead" on
the street. This was done out Of de-
sire on the part of Mrs. r. to get into a
mora aristOcratic set, as is too often the
case when poor ambitious girls marry
men of great wealth. Mrs Roberts is
an accomplished lady, thoroughly edu
Gated.

STRIKING PRINTERS.
A Committee of Ghe Philadelphia
Union In Trouble.

PHILADELPHIA, October The striking
printers are determined to insist upon their
demands, which they look upon as just.
The ground taken is that printers wages
are not in proportion to the amount paid
skilled labor in other branches. The en-
ployers on their part argue that competi-
ton has reduced prices while msterial has
advanced, making 1t impossible for
them 10 pay any more for labor than is
now given. Among the men who did not
quit work were those employed by Sherman
q Co., southwest corner of Seventh and
Cherry streets. This morning a committee
from the Union called at the office and or
dered the men to leave, but they did not sp-
pear anxious to comply. The firm denied
the right Of the committee TO enter their
place OF business and make suck a demand,
and, after consultation, deter mined to
prosecute them for doing so. Accordingly,
one of the firm appeared before Magistrate
Pole and made affidavit, charging the three
members of the committee with conspiracy
to interfere with the firms business. War
rants were issued for their srrest and were
placed in the hands of an officer.

GUITEAU, THE ASSASSIN.
His Illness. Cowardice ane Line OF
Defense.

A Washington special says: "Guiteau,
whose cell overlooks the eastern branch,
Is now being treated for malaria, and
quinine is administered in large doses.
The wretch reluctantly takes the pow
ders, fearing that some subtle poison
may be incorporated with the medicine
and life taken by the hidden drug. He
is too anxious to live, SO the guards say,
to attempt mis- own life. Neither does
he want to die by the act of the physi-
clan any more than by the act of the
hangman. He has nervously put aside
several of the powders prescribed, and
said he would take them when he felt
like it. The Jail guards say he is the
most cringing coward that ever lived.
He fears his own shadow, and when
taken to the bathroom, short distance
from his cell, insists on the guard cover
ing him, so that if there is among the
soldiers on duty in the rOtunda another
Sergeant Mason he will have to fire
through the escort to reach Guiteau. He
is still strangely confident that his
brother-in-law's defense will acquit him.
His line of defense has already
been outlined, and will consist
mainly in offering evidence to show that
he comes from family in which heredi-
tary insanity has been conspicuous for
many years. Who will be associated
with Mr.. Scoville is not now known,
but it is feared by the government that
soma disinterested lawyers will be ac-
cepted who will present all kinds of
questions for the consideration Of the
court, and in this way embarrass the
prosecution, compelling a consideration
of the law of jurisdiction, of right
practice on the part of the Presidents
surgeons and several other important
points, consuming time and putting the
government to great expense in summon
ing witnesses from abroad"

THE COTTON EXPOSITION.
The Buildings and Arrangements OF
Exhibits Approaching Completion
"A Large Attendance Yesterday.

ATLANTA, October 6.-Work in every de-
partment of the Cotton Exposition is going
on actively, and great advances have been
made since yesterday. In a week from now
the main building will be completed with
all its variety of exhibits. In two weeks all
of the buildings will be finished and filed,
as every inch of space has been taken, and
many intended exhibits have been necessa-
rily refused. There was a large number OF
visitors at the buildings to-day. The man
sgement are confident of the success Of the
enterprise.
The work of preparation is being pushed
forward rapidly. The exhibits are increas-
ing in amount and attraction. The railroad
company is compelled to suspend passenger
trains during part of the day to allow the use
Of the track to carry out the exhibits. The
greatest competition as yet is between the
spool cotton manufacturers. The Georgia
Ore Department is full, and the display is
surprisingly varied. Kansas has a splendid
show o; agricultural products. Very little
of the machinery is at work as yet.
