Ari roma Indians,

Tucson GA. T.), Sept. ga special from
San Carlos says Capt. Bernard. of the First
Cavalry, has been appointed Provost Marshal
of prisoners. Col. Sanford's command here
and Capt. Stacy's company, Twelfth In
fantry, is included.
Outstanding Indians seems yet to be far
off. Yesterday a son Of Sscco, formerly
chief of the Victoria band, died, and he ap-
piled to-day for permission to kill a squaw
charged with bewitching him. Permission
was denied.
The surrender of hostile Sanchez and
other bands number sixty bucks, seventy
three squaws and seventy-three children.
Judge Advocated General Egbert is here to
ascertain whether the renegades can be tried
by a military commission.
An officer of Gen. Carr's command reports
that when they returned to Cibicu they found
that the Indians had exhumed the bodies Of
Capt. Hentg and the soldiers killed there.
The dead men had been buried in canvas
tent, which the Indians had carried of, leav-
ing certain articles they did not want. Capt.
Hentig's head was mashed with large stones
and badly mutilated. One hand and foot was
gone. The command re-buried the remains
and fired salute. One tent has been found
here occupied by Indians. 1t is believed
that the real murderer of Capt. Hentig has
been discovered and will be arrested.
According to the United States census of
the White Mountain tribes just finished,

Parneirs Policy Not Popular.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The meeting of
Archbishops and Bishops at Maynooth, and
their exhortation to the priests to guard their
focks against all secret agencies of violence
and intimidation, which can only come from
the enemies of the people, have had consd-
cradle effect. Their declaration that the
Land Act is Of great benefit to the tenant
classes. and entities Gladstone to gratitude,
Is one Of the heaviest blows yet directed to-
ward Parnell's policy. The action Of the
prelates has doubtless Influenced the Land
League for to-day's League circular shows
that the sweeping condemnation of the Land
Act at the recent convention has not been
followed. Many tenants are applying to the
Commissioners regardless Of the League,
whose weekly contributions have suddenly
fallen from FL 900 to f167. The decision
raised by Ferguson, the Glasgow Home
Ruler, respecting the use of the funds, has
not been reached without an effort. There
Is an astonishing economy Of truth in Par
nell's explanation that no members have
been paid for Parliamentary services. Lord
Spencer's address to the Northampton shire
farmers gives an impetus to the English
land reform movement, which has not, how
ever, made IS rapid progress as the Scotch
agitation.

OVER the convenient nom de plume of
% MANY Citizens" some one in the IIello,c-
stone Journal of September Path, finds fault
with the Governor for not granting requisi-
ton for four horse thieves who had stolen
stock in Custer County and were arrested
and the stock recovered in Wyoming and
Dakota Territories. The article says :
"Sherif Irvine promptly notified the Gov

ers as were covered by the request until the
application for requisitlon could be received
and considered. When the papers arrived
they did not contain an application or request
from the District Attorney or any other
judicial officer, or any one but the Sheriff,
and were so defective that the application
was not granted. The Territory Is response
BILE for the expenses incurred in procuring

aggregated large sum, and In granting the
application as made the Governor would
have had graver charges to answer than are
raised by the complainant.

Arthur In New York.

NEW YORK, October Arthur drove for
an hour yesterday in Central Park with his
law partner. 1t is the first time he has left
his house on Lexington avenue since his ar
rival from Washington. He looked very
much in need Of fresh air, and as he came
down the steps he was recognized by persons
returning from the afternoon service and in
a moment a crowd collected and gazed with
curiosity and until the carriage had turned
the corner. On his return he was greeted by
another crowd and while ascending the steps
he was congratulated by two lady friends on
his accession to the presidential chair. He
greeted them kindly, but said in sorrowful
tones: at is more cause for sympathy
than Of congratulation at present." His re-
ply and his manner repressed the cheer that
many persons were about to give as he en-
tered the door. Among those who had audi
ence with him were Grant, Logan, Mac
Veagh and John G. New.

Russia and the Iews.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 1.-The Minister
of the Interior, in his recent circular ap-
pointing local commissioners to examine
into the Jewish question, says tha. the Gov
ernment recognizes the detriment to the
Christian population Of the commercial
activity, exclusiveness aud religious IA
naticism of the Jews, which are still
predominant in spite Of the twenty years
efforts to blend the two populations. The
circular attributes the recent disturbances to
the exclusively economic cases growing out
of the monopolization oftrade and rights over
the land by the Jews, and the unfair advan-
tage they take of the poorer classes. The
Minister promises the Jews protection
against violence and says that energetic
measures must be taken to shield the Chris
tians from the efforts of their injurious actiy-
ity. Statistics will, therefore, be required
from the commissioners showing the extent
Of the liquor trace in the hands of the Jews,
their land rentals and their numerical
strength, with measures for correcting the
abnormal situation.

DESTROYED BY DYNAMITE.

A Terrible Explosion At Council Bluffs, Iowa.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, September 27.-Nearly
fifty freight cars have been destroyed by an
explosion Of car of dynamite. The cause
Is mystery. 1t wss billed TO j. o. Rey-
nolds, Denver, rs common blasting powder,
but the Union Pacific refus to receive 1t
and II was returned to the Rock Island yards.
1t dug . hole In the ground fifteen feet deep
and forty feet in diameter, blew out large
windows, knocked down plastering, etc. The
conclusion in Omaha was very great, and
reached rs far up the Missouri valley as
twenty miles north. The loss will be hum
dreds Of thousands of dollars. The terrible
explosion In the city on Monday evening
proves to have been even more awful In Its
effects, and its results more disastrous than at
first supposed. The scenes presented on the
grounds are simply beyond description. The
roundhouse Of the company Is almost totally
demolished, aud the car and repair shops, 90
x100 feet in size, were completely leveled.
The freighthouse, 20xl00 feet, is q total
wreck, aud about fifty box cars werc blown
to pieces. Four engines we're buried in the
ruins Of the roundhouse, but are not greatly
damaged. Patrick Barnett, fireman Of an
engine which was In the house at the time,
was in the cab of an engine when the explo-
sion took place but miraculodsly csc aped.
He was not even scratched. His coat, which
he had hung outside the cab, was torn In
shreds. -Four or five small frame residences
six hundred rods south Of the spot were de-
molished, and the occupant Of one, Mr.. Van
Buren,, was struck BY large piece Of wheel
and will probably die. Arock weighing four
hundred pounds was blown from the founda-
tion Of the roundhouse three-quarters Of 4
mile, and in falling sunk almost out of sight
il tho earth. The reports received by the
Nonr0rea to-day from towns twenty miles
sway state that the shock was very plainly
felt q that distance, and In many places the
people regarded IL = m earthquake shock.
Window were broken In houses twelve miles
ffom the city. The losss sustained By the
Rock Island company will probasly BE- near
" half million doIlars.

The Supreme Court Vacancy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.--Had Garfield
lived there is little doubt that Chief-Justice
Horace Gray Of Massachusetts, would have
been named to fill the vacancy in the Su-
preme Court created by the death of Cliff
ford.
Ex-Altorney- General Devens had some
pretentions to fill the vacancy, and was
strongly urged upon Garfield by Hayes. He
was, however, appointed Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, by Gov
ernor Long, and will be satisfied, 1t Is said,
by the appointment of the ChiefJusticeship
of the same court in the place of Gray If Ar
thur should carry out the arrangement made
by his predecessor.
Judge Gray is described by Senator Dawes
as a man of large inherited wealth, and Of
the best blood of Massachusetts,. He studied
law for pure love of the profession, and was
appointed to the Supreme Bench before he
was 40 years of age. He has never been In
terested in or employed by railroads or
other corporations, and is entirely free from
such influences. He is a Republican, but
has taken no part in the organization of the
party or in working its machinery. In person
he is a magnificent specimen of manly form,
being as large as Charles Sumner. Judge
Gray has the hearty support of Governor
Long, and that of both Senators from Mas
sachusetts, and probably will have no opposi-
tion from New England, which is entitled to
the vacancy, that section being now without
. representative on the Supreme Bench.
Senator Johnson says that Senator Ben Hill
will never be able to fully discharge the duty
of Senator, although he may be able to ap-
pear at the called session of the Senate.

A Shocked Church.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-There is said to ex-
ist in Washington, as elsewhere, among the
members Of the Christian churches, consid-
cradle feeling directed mainly against DR..
Bliss In regard to the prohibition laid by the
surgeons on the visits of Christian ministers
to the sick room of the late President. The
Sun to-day says: "Now that the grave has
closed over the remains Of the late Presi-
dent, one fact stands out which cannot fail
to excite painful emotions, especially in
view Of the eulogies pronounced on his
Christian character. During the long and
trying illness which his chief physicians
have recently declared was iIicurable from
the outset, there Is no record that he was
ever visited by minister OF the Gospel /;
that any religious servics was performed
At his bedside, or that his s,tfferings were
soothed by religious consolation in any
form. No man Is pure enough in this life
not to need preparation for eternity, and
thankful Is every true Christian for atime Of
repentance before the final summons. Who
ever may be responsible for this extraordi-
nary OMISSION must look back to the lost
opportunity with sad feelings. It was per-
haps proper from medical point Of view,
though opinions differ widely on this point
In the profession, to isolate the President as
was done, but above the Cabinet, above
friends, even above kindred, the door should
have always been open for . minister Of
Christ, who carries with him symbol oi
faith and hope OF salvation. Why Il was
kept closed we do not know, bat the fact
shocks the moral sensibilities Of Christian
people,"

Grants Presents.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-The Sun has this:
Mrs. U. S. Grant is busy In this city unpack-
ing numerous cases containing Grants pres
ents. When Grant gave up his house In 1
street, Washington, all the presents he had
received up to that time were packed and
stored. He has now eighty-two cases Of
valuables to be unpacked. Mrs. Grant said
recently that she did not really know how
much they had. The family had a magnIfi-
cent service Of silver presented by Mexico to
Grant about the time he became President,
and by him transferred to his wife. It has
been ordered from the vaults of the bank
where 1t has been deposited, and will be
used for the first time in what is termed
Grants New York palace. This service of
silver is said to be finer than that owned by
G. w. Childs. Grant will have in his new
house a sdeboard that will arouse the envy
of all lovers of unique furniture. It Is made
of Mexican onyx, and was presented to him
In Mexico. II Is the rarest and costliest
buffet in New York. The parlors of the
new house will be crowded with presents,
some Of which will be kept in burglar-prooi
safes.
Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant, with their two
children, will reside with their parents. Mr..
and Mrs. Ulysses Grant will reside In the
Chaffee mansion. Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Grant
will reside in an elegant fat. Mr.. and Mrs
Sartoris and their three children are ex
pected in New York next month, and II /.
probable they will also make their homs
here. r.
The value of the presents contained In
Gen. Grants treasure boxes Is fixed by Cos
sips at fabulous sum.

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.

Imputasions Against District Attorney corkhiii.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The parties ac-
cused In the Star route conspiracy continue
TO be confident and defiant. Brady says the
the same document as that read to Garfield
in March last, and that 1t was pronounced by
him as entirely too frivolous to proceed
upon. He says also Garfield positively for
bid proceeding by information, as 1t would
appear the Government was afraid its case
was not sure enough to go to the Grand
Jury. Cook denies Brady's story, and as
serts that information was never thought Of
till after the adjournment of the Grand Jury
on September 18th. This was q total sur
prise to the Attorney General, and none of
the Government counsel hesitate to impute
desire to shield the Star route ring to Col.
Corkhill, District Attorney. They say it
was early found necessary to conceal the de-
tails Of .he Government case from him. So
far from being afraid of the Grand Jury, the
prosecution is ready with six bills Of indict-
ment, which will be presented at the latest
by October 10th. Among these is a bill
specially framed to cover the Dorsey pro-
ceedings. Attorney-G General MacVeagh says
also there was well-grounded suspicion
in regard to Corkhill and his fitness for his
place previous to the shooting Of Garfield,
had that event been deferred one week,
new District Attorney would have been ap-
pointed. As soon as the Guiteau trial Is
concluded, a change will be made. Cork
bill is one of Hayes appointees and owes
his place 10 the solicitation of Justice Miller
of the United States Supreme Court, whose
daughter he married.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-One of the counsel
retained by the Government in the prosecu-
tion Of the Star route cases, who is thorough
ly familiar with the results of jury trials In
the district for twenty years, said to-day:
" There has never been any doubt about OBJ
tanning indictments in the Star route cases.
Grand Juries all through, drawn pretty much
in the same way as petit juries, have rarely
held out against the Government If 1t has
any case at all, and the present Grand Jury
is pretty fair one as Grand Juries go. 1t
Is in the petit juries that the Government is
generally at disadvantage In this district"
WASHINGTON, Oct. Pit is understood
that General Brady's counsel will tomorrow
enter a motion in the Criminal Court to
strike from the records the Information pre-
sented on Friday last by the Government
counsel. This step, it is said, will be taken
on the ground that the proceeding was un-
usual and that the facts alluded to and set
forth in confirmation are insufficient to
maintain an action.

THE character of the bulletins issued by
the late Presidents physicians suggests the
idea that medical societies might with profit
discuss to what extent members Of that fra
ternity are subject to the command against
bearing false witness. The gentlemen who
of late have been SO prominent are not the
black sheep Of the profession in the matter
of deceiylng the public. Frequently when
an epidemic of disease appears in a section
Of the country, the physicians with great
unanimity suppress the facts, even going 10
the length sometimes of telling what from
other peoples lips would be called untruths.
Their efforts are ostensibly In the public in
terests, but by so doing they assume TO
themselves the difficult task of deciding
what Is for the public welfare. Deceiving .
patient when there is chance for recovery
that may be destroyed II the exact truth Is
teld, might be looked upon with leniency,
but to deceive the whole public Is stretching
the physicians prerogatIve too far. Even in
the case Of patients we think deception
should be sparingly used. Take Mr.. Gar
fields case. For week, perhaps, before his
death there was not the slightest doubt but
that death would result sooner or later.
The professional and unprofessional attend
ants all knew It. Gentlemen connected
with foreign embassies made special visits TO
Long Branch to find out the facts, and were
told the President could not live. The st-
tendants said they hoped he would recover,
but they knep he would die. And yet Mr..
Garfield does not seem 10 have been told the
sure result, and he was allowed to die with
cut any chance to speak his last wishes OF
give his last counsel TO his family. The
only excuse that can be given for this Is, that
his life might possibly be pro longed for .
brief period. But we think the right of q
man TO know that he Is at the portals Of an.
other world Is greater than the duty Of .
physician to prolong the dying agonies few
hours. In this case even the family do moi
seem 10 have been notified Of the inevitable
result, Mrs. Garfield asking, almost As her
husband gives his last gasp, II there Is no
hope. So, as we said at first, there Is now
an excellent opportunity for our medical
friends to revise their code Of ethics In some
particulars.

Failurcs.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The failures for nine
months, ending September 30th, 1881, re-
corded by Dun, Wiman & Co., is 800,
against 3,476 in 1880. The liabilities for
three-quarters Of the present year was $6l,-
100000, as compared with $4,000, 600 in the
same period in 1880. The distribution Of
failures shows the Southern States suffered
somewhat, In so much As the figures indicate,
liabilities for the first three months of 1880
were only $4,000, as against S1,054, 900 in
the present quarter. On the other hand for
the Western States the liabilities show de-
cline of nearly $650,OO0 in favor of this
quarter. In the Middle States the liabilities
were about 81, ,0OO, 900 less in amount than in
the corresponding period of 1880. In the
Eastern and Pacific States, but little differ
ent from last year. In Canada good condi-
ton of affairs prevail. The failures for the
last three months were but 1870, with liabili-
ties of $7s7,000. This Is the best showing
the Dominion has made for six years.
