Prospect of the nnnle Extension Bi,,.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The friends OF
the bill which provides for the extension
OF National Bank charters are very much
more confident OF success that they
were two weeks ago. The refusal of
u certain number OF Democrats on two
different occasions to allow the bill even
to be heard has given the Democratic
leaders good deal OF uncasiness, and very
loud protests are being received almost
daily from prominent Democrats through
out the country against committing the
party to such course. These protests
are made with special carnestncss from the
financial centres where the effect upon
the markets and the general course OF busi-
ness which would result from non.action
upon this bill, and tho inevitable string.
encv which is likely to follow ii the Exten-
sion Bill shall not be passed, are properly
estimated. A few OF the Democratic lead
ers are very much in earnest upon this sub
ject, and there is reason to think that
the combination which has been attempt
ed, notably by Mr.. Flower, OF New York,
and Mr.. llardenburs, OF New Jersey, will
succeed in giving the extension bill
II day for hearing. Those who are
best qualified to judge say that il
the bill ever is brought before the House
for fair consideration, and an opportunity is
given to vote upon it, that there can be no
doubt that it will pass. Should it pass the
House there could be no question that the
Senate would approve it.

me that four OF the scouts were killed BY
4 large number OF Chirahuahuas and that
Lieut.. Mcdonald and the other two were
defending themselves against them. gal
loped ior eighteen miles to them and found
the Indians strongly entrenched in STEMS
peak range; attacked them at once, and
drove them from tleir entrenched posi-
ton. They fell back. and occupied two i'm.
prcgnable positions, which were from six
TO eighteen feet high. Found it I'M
possible to dislodge them without
great loss. I gave up further op-
crations at 5 o'clock and started again
for Richmond. My loss was four Indian
scouts and one private trooper killed, one
sergeant and four privatcs wounded. I
know OF n certainty that two OF the enemy
were killed and number wounded. We

san FRANCISCO, April 25.-A Tucson,
Arizona, correspondent gives m account
Of the recent Indian attack us follows:
Stanislaus Mcstus, aged nine years, has
just arrived from Stevens sheep camp with
the following story Of the Indian massacre
Of the 10th instant:
Before daylight the Indians attacked the
camp, while we were all asleep. My ia.
thcr and five other men attempted to get
their guns but were too late. The Indians
rushed in from ull sides and ovcrpowcred
them before shot could be fired. The
work OF slaughter then began. An
Indian put the muzzle OF his gun
against the head OF ono man and fired,
blowing his brains against the floor and
walls. | saw them kill my mother and two
little brothers by beating their brains out
with stones. They killed five, and tied my
father, and tortured him must .dreadfully.
lie begged them to spare him. but they
were tired Of torturins him, one OF them
split his skull with m axc. An Indian
squaw, the wife OF one Of four friendly
Apache sheep herders who worked with us,
saved my life by holding me behind her
and begging them to spare me. When nil
the Mcxicans were dead the Indians lett.
A squaw who arrived with the boy says
there were nincty.threc warriors in the at
tacking party. They called themselves
Cheerhushuas, and said they were going
stnight to the San Carlos agency to kill all
OF the whites and get more Indians to Join
them. They also declared that they would
kill all he..inhabitants o! this valley. The
hosties declared their whole desire was to
kill in retaliation for the three Indians ex-
ecuted recently ut Fort Grant.
Later news from the Fort is to the effect
that the whole force OF about three hundred
Indians, including women and children,
crossed the Southern Pacific track, last
night, going south, near Lordsburg. Ca
valry are in close pursuit. The present
outbreak is the most disastrous which has
ever occurred in Arizona, not less than
forty persons having been killed.
Tonight mass meeting was held here.
Governor Tuttle presided. 1t was deter
mined to raise force OF volunteers to
take the field ior two or three months.

A Vile Murderer XIII. Himself.

CLEVELAND, April ga Herald special
from Canton states that about sunrise this
morning William Stull, the Georgetown
murderer, was cornered in some dense
woods near New Franklin, fourteen miles
southeast of Canton, by the Colnmbiana
county sheriff aud posse OF deputies, who
had been following him since Sunday.
Finding escape impossible he drew
his revolver, with which he murdered Mrs.
Sommers, and fired two shots into his head
in quick succession, producing instant
death. fhe excitement is intense in Stark
and Columbiana counties.
The particulars OF the vile wretch's most
cowardly and revolving crime are rs fol-
lows Collins Summers, one OF the most
prominent farmers Of Columbiana county,

his employ for the past year or two; about
ten days ago he discharged him on account
