In an interview regarding tho Apaches, he says: Secretary Teller's policy in disarming the Indians meets with the warm approval of all officers, and will do much towards preventing outbreaks and raids.

The proclamation of the President to the cowboys, while somewhat sneered at, has really been productive of much ! good, although the citizens of the two Territories had combined to put them down in many instances.

 WASHINGTON, June l3.-Since the Re publican majority ill the House of Representative has unseated three Southean Democrats who claimed to have been elected, reports here reached the Democratic managers have of great Encouragement among the Southern Democrats. The feeling seemed to be that if the Republicans obtained a ma iority in the next House they would pro- ceed to unseat every Southern Democrat whose seat was contested, and the con- sequence would be that candidates in
 close districts could see very little en- couragement for them to make a Con gresslonal race. These reports excited no little apprehension here and after conferring together the Southern mem bers decided to make a thorough can vass for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, what the political complex tion of the noxt house would probably be. Two of the members have made this canvas within a few days and as a
 result of their inquiries have figured out
 Q Democratic majority of ten in the next House. 2 They reach this conclusion by
 counting on sure gains as follows; In Connecticut, South Carolina, Illinois, West Virginia. Wisconsin and California one each; Texas and Pennsylvania five each; Indiana and Ohio three each; New York two; and Missouri four. They ex-
 pect to make other gains in such states as Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire, but these do not enter into the figures upon which they base the probable majority of ten. The only State
 in which they expect a loss is Nevada and they think the chances are that they will l lose but one Representative there. The
 results as reached by these gentlemen
 with figures as given above have been
 sent to the various state executive con-
 mittees the South Tn the hope of restOr-
 ing confidence Tn that section
