aDOlogizng for his connection with the man
as follows: g L have been somewhat crit
icised for not sending Shipherd out of my
house on the first occasion he came there,
but 1 will say to the committee that n gen.
tleman who comes to me introduced by a
United States Senator, having three United
States ex-Senators for counsel, an eX-Sec-
Tetary of the Treasury for counsel, and Au-
gust Belmont, L. d. Morgan and Seligman
for copartners, is not man whom you
would naturally kick out OF your house on
the very first sight of him, and so 1 beg to be
excused for not performing a duty which
three or four months afterward practically
did on further information"
AT a mass-meeting in Tucson, Ariz.,
on the 25th, it was unanimously directed
that the following be sent as an open letter
to the President and Cabinet, and both
houses OF Congress: 'During the rejoicing
incident to the Grand military display an
nonced to take place at Fortress Monroe, we
beg to offer you as a skeleton TO sit at your
banquet the fact that nearly Il hundred of
our pioneers have within few days been
wantonly murdered in cold blood by the
devilish Apaches, whom cruel and mis-
taken policy permits to survive their crimes
If some small portion of the expenditures
incurred in your grand display could be de-
voted to such measures as would preclude
the probability of an increase in the list Of
our murdered dead we could send you
greeting Of gratitude and cheer in place of
this message OF our sorrow and helplessness
and desolation.
The President has expressed a deter
mination TO do everything that can be done
with propriety to induce the Russian Gov
ernment to extend the fullest protection to

Gar to repeEted atrocities; TO express the
adherence that was felt in this country in
relation 10 their perpetration, and to en-
treat him to exercise his authority to pre-
vent their recurrence.
