rhe Killing of spotted vai,

YanktOn, 10.-The official account
Of the murder of Spotted Tail was
received last night by Gen. Crook0
from Agent Lelar, OF the Spotted
Tail Indians. He says that about
noon Of the 9Th inst, Spotted Tail
reported at the agents office to re-
ceive instructions regarding the
contemplated visit to Washington.
He was urged to start at once, as a
letter from the Indian Office di-
rected him to report to Agent
Andrus, at the YanktOn agency, no
later than the Sth inst. AS a dele
CATION from Pineridge agency was
expected to Reach Rosebud agency
on the evening of the 9TH, Spotted
Tail concluded to wait until the next
morning, and go with the Red Cloud
delegates to the YanktOn Agency.
This arrangement having been con-
cluded upon, Spotted Tan decided to
have talk with his people that
afternoon and receive an expression
Of their views upon the subject to
come before the conference. Bid
ding Lelar goodbye, and saying ne
would call at the Office in the even
ing to receive any further instruc-
lions which might, in the meantime,
occur to that gentleman, Spotted
Tail left for the Indian village to
confer with his people. An inter
view was held with the Indians
They had a big talk ana
feast and the council broke us
Spotted Tail mounted his horse and
started hOmeward. The Indians
were scattering in all directions,
with the noted chief somewhat in
advance of the others, he being the
first out Of the lodge. After Ieav-
ing the council lodge Crow Dog was
seen approaching Spotted Tail. He
had his wife with him. He got out
of his wagon and was stoop-
ing down when Spotted Tail
rode up to him. He suddenly
raised up and shot Spotted Tai
through the left breast. The chief
fell from his horse, but rose to his
feet and made three or four steps
forward, Crow Dog endeayoring te
draw his pistol. He then reeleG
and fell backward, dead. Grow
Dog jumped i'll the wagon and drove
off at full speed towards his camp,
some nine miles distant. The act
ing agent at once issued orders for
the arrest of Crow Dog, under the
treIty Of 1868, which renders him
amenable to the white mans laws
The arrest was accomplished and
Crow Dog sent to Fort Niobrara, to
await his trial for murder.

surgeons are somewhat uneasy. The
fever has not receded as fast as they
hoped, but doctors still say they
count on his recovery.
Blaine to LoaoeU:
At 1 o'clock pm. the Presidents
condition has not essentially
changed since the morning report.
At noon he signed an important
public document, to which his sig
nature was indispensable, with a
firm, clear hand.
Executive Mansion, 4.39 p.m-Dr.
Bliss reports that at 43O pm, not
wlthstanding the high pulse shown
by the noon bulletins, the President
had a very favorable day, and the
rapidity Of the pulse was an indica-
ton Of weakness, resulting from
the operation and from the dimin-
ished quantity of food given him
Yesterday and Monday; but this is
the present condition and will not,
it IS thought, last longer than to-
morrow. Already the pulse has
fallen six beats since the noon bull
letln, and the temperature is only a
little above normal. The patient
has taken more nourishment to-day,
than at any time heretofore since
Sunday, and his condition is, in the
opinion of all surgeons, much bet
ter than tWenty-four hours ago.
The President performed, this after
noon, his first official act since the
I'd of July, by signing the formal re-
QUESTION for the eXtradition of
criminals, who some time since took
refuge III Canada, and are now in
custody Of Canadian authorities,
pending the action of this govern
ment.
Official. Executive Mansion. 7
p.m.-The President has passed an
excellent day. The draining of the
wound is now efficient, and the pus
secreted by the deeper por-
lions has been coming away spon-
taneously. The afternoon rise of
temperature is almost a degree less
than yesterday and the day before.
His pulse at present is los, tempera-
ture 101, respiration 10.
Executive Mansion 11:l5 p. NJ:
Signs Of improvement in the Presi-
dents condition began to be appa-
rent to-day shortly after noon. His
pulse, which had been high during
the earlier part Of the day, and
which indicated more than ordinary
weakness, fell from 10 to 1O4 in
the course of the afternoon, and his
temperature at the evening eXamI-
nation was lower than at any hour
en- any day since the 5th. These
facts were taken as evidence
first, that the wound is once more
in healthy condition and free from
retained pus; and second, that
the disturbance caused by the opera
ton Of Monday has nearly subsidized.
After the evening examination and
dressing, which were entirely salts
factory, the fever, which came on
late in the afternoon, began to abate
and the pulse to fall, and the patient
went to sleep. The fever has now
disappeared. The temperature and
respiration are again normal, and
the pulse has fallen to 100. The pa
tient has slept sOundly. without
anodynes, since $50, and will, the
think. have a good night
and show a decided gain tomorrow.
His present condition, they say, is in
every way encouraging.

covering. The president then passed
the exhibition rapidly in review, be-
ginning with the British section,
then through the German. Scandi-
navian, American and Belgian Sec
tiOns to the French department. He
was received by the American am
bassador, with whom the president
exchanged courtesies. The eXhi-
bition was gaily decorated with
flags and trophies. The electric
railway is almost finished, but not
in working order. An ingenius
electric boat and so-called tiSSandier
balloon attracted a great deal Of
attention. By Sunday night 500
Edison lights will be burning in Il
room on the first floor, especially
fitted up for them. Grevy. the
ministers, and few other privileged
persons, were treated to a tele-
phopic musical entertainment. Four

ication with the opera and the
voices of the opera chorus were
heard with perfect distinetness.

special Reports from Ihe Cotton
Belt.

Nsw ORLEANS. October 22-Dispatches
to the Democrat from all portions of the cot
ton belt show the condition of the crop to
date to be as follows:
ALABAMA.-The weather is good, cool
and dry. Picking is progressing rapidly and
will be over by the middle of November
The Yield is much better than was antici-
pated, and will come within 10 per cent. of
last years. The staple will be much better
About three-fourths of the crop has already
been gathered. q
GEoRGIA.-Crop prospects have improved
greatly during the past few weeks, and il IS
now believed that the crop will be as great
as last year. Two-thirds of the crop is gath
cred. The cotton is being marketed slowly.
LoUIsIANA.-Rains have fallen during the
past week, which will injure the cotton con
siderably In the field. The weather has
been cool, ard there have been several
frosts. The faI ners are backward in pre-
pairing the staple, very little of which has
been marketed. 1t IS estimated that three
fourths of the crop has been gathered. II
the present bad weather continues the crop
will be greatly injured.
MIssIssIPPI.-Rainsh have fallen throughout
the State, doing, however, very little dam
age to the cotton. Some damage has been
done by worms. Eighty per cent. of the
crop has been picked. The yield will be
about rs per cent. of the crop of last year.
TENNESSEE EE-SeventY per cent. of the
crop has been gathered. The yield, it is
now estimated, will be 40 per cent. less than
that of last year, The weather still con-
tinues favorable for picking, which will be
finished at much earlier date than last

MILES UNDER WATER.
The Broken Levees - Disastrous
WashOuts-Farme Fleeing.

QUINCY, Ills, October 22.-About 35, 900
acres of land have been overhowed by the
break in Warsaw and Indian Grove levees.
e is imminent danger of a crevasse at
Eat Hannibal, which would cut out sew
eral railroad bridges.
The only means of communication now
remaining between Quincy and the West is
the Louisville branch of the Chicago, Bur
lingtOn and Quincy Road. This link is also
in danger of being broken Just below the
city, the track being covered with from
twelve to fourteen inches of water for two
miles. Yesterday passenger trains of four
teen cars, with two engines, were sent from
Hannibal to Quincy over this track. The
train was made up of Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, Hannibal and st. Joseph, and Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy cars. The scene as
the train passed slowly over the treacherous
track was most thrilling. The fire in the
front engine was put out, but the engine
in the rear OF the long train pushed it safely
through. The trains on the Ohio, Missis-
sippi and Pacific division of the Wabash
have all been discontinued. The roads will
suffer severely, the water being so high that
the road beds will be washed out and
bridges carried away. A bad washout is re-
ported on the Quincy, Missouri aud Pacific
Road, between Humphreys and Trenton. The
damage to the railroads, together with the
loss Of live stock and the destruction of
farming property, will make this flood the
most disastrous that ever occurred In this
section of the country.
ST. LOUIS, October % "A dispatch from
Hannibal says the Mississippi has risen ten
inches during the last twenty four hours.
The levee in many places is only few
inches above the water, but still stands firm.
The break near Rockport is constantly
growing wider, and the water has already
covered great part of the land subject to
overflow by break in that vicinity.
Refugees from Illinois continue to arrive
in great Plumbers, with stock and household
goods. Gangs of laborers continue to work
at the weak places in the levee, aud the
Wabash Railroad pluckily keeps up the effort
to prevent an overflow. The water is now
eighteen inches below hign water mark, and
twenty feet six inches above low water
mark.

all parts Of the world upon the condition of
the cotton goods trade in their respective
districts The object of this work is to give
to American cotton producers and manu-
