Lord Dufcrin's part at the Conference has
beer rcduocd to the level of low comedy.
With the Sultan's representatives he fences
daily, raising new objection whenever
they accept his conditions. With his colleagues
ut the Conference he keeps up a
game of blind mans buff, in which
he cannot see anything that is going
on. The Russian Minister'S fingers are
not SO deft that they can remove tie
bandace against Lord DuifeHn's will. 1t is
very pretty by-play. 1t takes up time, and
enables General Wolselcy to push on to Cairo
without being encountered with Turkish assist
ance.

A Row at Camp Meeting.

Such general excitement as that at the camp
meeting Of the colored people on the Salado
river yesterday few persons have seen. The
:amp-meeting had been in progress two
weeks and the religious fervor of the attend
,nts had kept in accord with the state OF the
weather. As the spot selected was only four
niles from the city Parson Jackson John Of the
Methodist church had several hundred auditors
his Sunday sermon The parson is digni-
fed man and very determined, especially as to
religion. and it is this determination that gave
rise to internal strife among his flock. 1t is
understood that Parson Johns said no one
could enter the kingdom of heaven unless he
we're as white as snow. Now this figure was
accepted literally by Robert Cox, a
gentleman whose skin is as black as
the ace of spades and whose
spiritual ambition is as great as that of Mr..
John even. Cox was free in the expression OF
his opinion on the subject, and what he said
was circulated, in an exaggerated form of
course, all about the camp. Yesterday John
Adams met him. Il heah yous been
threatnin Nv de preacher" said Adams.
"'Tain't no sech thing" replied Cox. Then
they talked, and Cox smiled as he felt the
keen edge of his pocket-knife, while
Adams stretched his mouth from
ear to ear as he thought what
what neat hole his calibre 4S cartridge could
make in his opponent People gathered about
them and took part in the quarrel. Then
blow was struck, knives and pistols were
drawn, women screamed and men shouted.
When Deputy Sheriff Alderman had pro-
duced a semi-quietude Cox was feeling a
bruse on his head inflicted with the butt of
Adams revolver, and Adams was bleeding
from slight cut in his cheek. To-day JUS

Indian Agent Tiffany Guilty of Outrageous
Conduct-Gui'ty Indians Assisted to Es-
cape and Innocent Ones Held in Prison
for rMopths-Unparaue1e Dishonesty.
Tucson, Ariz. T., Oct. THE Star pub
fishes the report of the grand jury, charg-
ing that the Citucee prisoners in jail here
are innocent of any crime, and the guilty
Indians we're long ago permitted to escape
through the connivance of Indian Agent
Tiffany. That officer, it appears from evi.
depce given the jury, not only arranged to
have the Indians get away, but purposely
arrested innocent Indians and held them in
confinement for months to cover the fight
of the murderers; that it was no mistake
but a conspiracy on the part of the agent
as shown by the evidence of Indians to-
day to whom Tiffany related his plan, and
told them that this was the only way to
save others from being hung or shot. The
Indians also testified to regular system
oe barter of Indian goods by Tiffeuy with
merchants of Globe. The investigation
reveals condition of grand speculation
and dishonesty that exceeds anything OF
the kind ever known on the frontier.

in military life has come to be looked upon

To many old settlers not the least pleas
ure connected with the appearance Of the

houee tomorrow evening, is the fact that
it will Introduce to them once again the
smiling courtenance and hearty greeting
of Harry Clapham, who is managing the
organization. Ha ry is an old-tin favor
ite in st. Paul, and away back when Jack
Haverly and Happy Cal Wagner were doing
the northwes. with minstrel company, of
which Happy Cal was the bright particula :
ssar, on one evening there was g-ther-
ing o. friends and presentation: des-
cription of which it is not necessary to
give, but the value of which may be folly
inferred from the following sentence from
TIE presentation speech:
Unlike that of your Nashville friends,
OUR gift is not composed of any cne rich,
material, but is made up of many. For its
production, the bowels of the earth have
been explored; foreign climes visited, and
their choicest products culled to enter into
it; the ocean has been traversed in ships;
men have toiled and died; skilled mechan-
les piled their arts; capitalists poured out
their wealth; the genius of the nineteenth
century invented intricate machinery; in
short, the brain, the muscle, and the pro-
ducts of the earth have helped to fashion
the beautiful and costly gift. Even then,
it poorly represents the friendship we bear
you. Such as it is, it is rendered you,
knowing that it could not be more WORTH
ly bestowed. Cherish it not so much for
its intrinsic worth, aUhich IS aUorth more
than r,bies, but for the sake of the givers.
