Tiffany Asks Tender Treatment fol
 His Pets.


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Tiffany, of the San Carlos agency, telegraphs the Indian bureau that the Indians at that agency are restless and ex- cited in connection with the ap- preaching execution of three con- demned Indian scouts, fixed for March 3d. He says the other Indian prisoners are complaining of the long confinement without trial, and assert that they surrendered under pledge of speedy and fair trial, and of being furnished good counsel. Tiffany earnestly recommends the president to postpone the execution until the cases against the other Indian prison CTS, arrested for complicity in the treason for which these scouts were condemned, are decided. He evil dently apprehends trouble if the ex- ecution is carried out, and says the inhabitants in the vicinity all fear trouble with the Indians unless the execution is postponed, as the war department has control of these con- demned scouts and other prisoners arrested with them. Tiffany's dis. patch was sent to tbe secretary of war, by whom it will be submitted to the president.

BEHKMorH has swallowed all tn,

BEHKMoTH has swallowed all the lesser fish! By our telegraphic ad- vices It will be seen that the South ern Pacific has definitely settled upon terms with the Atchison, To peka & Santa Fe, and the St. Louis < San Francisco railroad companies, which own the Atlantic & Pacific charter and incomplete road, for the consolidation of the last named road with the Southern Pacific. This shuts of all hope for a competing l,ne to the Pacific and gives the en- tire carrying trade of California over to the tender mercy of the oetopian monopoly of the Southern and Gen. tral Pacific companies. The At lantic & Pacific will call for $4,OO0,- 900 to finish its lines to the Colo rado, and $1,5O0,OOO to build the con- necting link through the Indian Ter ritory. In compensation for the surrender of the western terminus the Southern Pacific is to guarantee to the other roads 25 per cent of the gross receipts of all through traffic. that this arrangement will not be satisfactory to the people of Cali fornia is foregone conclusion, and very justly so, too. The only hope for that monopoly.ridden state for the future, is an honest board of railroad commissioners whose powers, as now defined by the constitution, are ample, if honestly exerted,to pro- teet the interests of shippers. For. tunately, this consolidation will not materially affect New Mexico and Arizona, through whose extreme boundaries the uncontrolled lines Of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific extend.

ern Pacific, at Boston, came to an agreement as to the extension of the A. & P. The Atlantic & Pacific will call from the present subscriptions four millions, cash, to furnish and equip its road to the Colorado river, also $1,50O,00O cash, to build the central division of the A. & P. in the Indian Territory. The A. & P. does not bind itself not to build to San Francisco, bu. should the Southern Pacific build east of the Colorado river, and if the Atlantic & Pacific joins that road there, it is agreed by the Southern Pacific that it will guarantee to pay the Atlantic & Pacific % per cent of its gross earn ings in through business. This is to be applied to the payment of interest on the Atlantic & Pacific bonds. Should the earnings of the latter company not be sufficient for that purpose, bonds are also guaranteed in the same way, to the amount of 25 per cent by the St. Louis & San Francisco, also 25 per cent by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. This settlement adjusts satisfactorily diff culties which at one time threatened to become serious.

SAN FRANCISCO, of all the cities in the United States, has the most un. enviable record of crime. :Red- handed murder, not content to hang its damnable deeds under the pail of night, stalks about at monday and enters the halls of justice and strikes dead its victim with the pistols bull let at the very feet of the blind god dess herself. The last shocking mur- der was committed Saturday (yester. day morning in Police court No. 9, by John Maroney, policeman, shoot, ing ex-District Attorney D. J. Mur- phy, through the neck. The alleged cause of the deed was the severe comments that Murphy made upon
 Maroney's testimony in the Deliver indecent exposure case, Maroney be- ing the prosecuting witness. Mur. phy referred to the witness as an Australian convict and thief" over

Orc BIancO,

From Prot. John A.

The Blue Wing mine is doing we'll. The mill of the Orion com. pany was not working when he was there, the superintendent being absent in Tue son. The camp IS rather quiet, taken as q whole.

Ground Fl OF.

| This is one of the first locations made in the district by Ed. Schieffelin, the dis coverer of the mines of Tombstone, and is in no wise inferior to his other locations that have made his name immortal, in connection with this, the richest district in the United States. The main shaft is near the center of the claim and is down 35 feet. It shows a vein of rich horn sil- yer ore from top 10 bottom, that assays from $200 to 5000 per ton. The ledge has been uncovered for l50 feet south of this shaft and nearly 100 feet north, show ing for 250 feet the same rich ore. It is asserted upon the highest mining author. ity that this mine has no equal in camp. Adjoining it on the north is the Eden Lass, equally rich in ore as the Ground Hog. This mine is now under bond to Aug. Bar ron, former foreman of the Tombstone company's mines, which fact alone is guarantee of its great value. It is situate about three miles south ot Tombstone, in the direct range of the heart of the min. eral belt Samples of ore left at the Epr. TArH office speak in unmistakable terms of its richness.
