DISARMING THE INDIANS:


CHICAGO, June 13.-General George A.
Forsythe, the Indian fighter of the Fourth
United States Cavalry, commanding in south
ern Arizona, is here. In an interview, after
relating incidents of his recent successful
campaign against Jup's band of Apaches,
he said that Secretary Teller's policy in dis
arming Indians meets with warm approval
from all officers, and will do much toward
preventing outbreaks and raids. The rapid
development of railways in Mexico and por-
tions of Arizona is also doing much to settle
the vexed Indian question. He adds that
the procrsstination of the President toward
cowboys, while somewhat sneered at, has
really been productive of much good,
although the best citizens of the two Terri
tories mad combined with a strong hand to
put down in a great manv instances these
combinations. With Indians and cowboys
out of the way of mining and grazing inter-
ests these Territories will appreciate rap

RIVAL INSPECTORS.
Trouble Among the Grain Men at Sd
Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, June 13.-A good deal of gen.
eral comment, and not little excitement 10
some quarters, was produced to-day by the
announcement that the Board of Trade OF
East st. Louis had Apo nted grain in
spector, with instructions to inspect all
grain that arrived by railroad at E ist
st. Louis and all that goes out by barge
from the elevators at the same place.
Heretofore all grain that has arrived
on either side of the Mississippi river at this
point has been inspected by the inspectors APP
pointed by the Merchants exchanges of this
city, and the inspection has been uniform
and according to the st. Louis standards.
But should the new order of things prevail
grain arrivals at East ST. Louis will be iu-
spected by Chicago standards endless con-
fusion will ensue and great damage be done
to the grain trade OF st. Louis. The Board
OF Trade of East St. Louis is a
revival of an organization effected
some twelve years ago, but which ceased
active life long siDcs, and it is claimed that
it has no legal right to do what il has done.
At all events, the matter will be fought both
in and outside Of the courts, and every effort
will be mad to defeat the action taken. 1t is
said that the elevator owners of the east side
of the river will arrest for trespass every
man who attempts to inspect grain on their
premises, and the new appointed inspector,
on tbs other hand, declares that he will pro-
cure the arrest of every st. Louis inspector
who undertakes to inspect grain in
East St. Louis. AS the case stands, there is
likely to be long and bitter contest. The
unpleasant state of affairs is said 10 have
been brought about by w. j. Livingstone,
who for several years prior to the LIST OF last
January, was chief grain inspector of the ST.
Louis Merchants Exchange, but who at that
time was dropped by the board for cause
Knowing of the existence of the charter
under which the East St. Louis board was
originally organized, he is alleged to have
induced certain parties TO reorganize the
board and appoint him inspector. He is
charged with doing this out OF spirit of
revenge, and il is understood that he does
not deny it. On the contrary, he is said to
boast of it and assert that he will carry the
thing through. President Stay back, of the
Merchants Exchange, This afternoon placed
the matter in the hands of the attorney of
the exchange, with authority to protect its
interest TO the fullest extent of the law.

TERRIBLE FIRE
At Montresl-An Immense Amount of
Properly Destroyed.

MONTREAL, June 13.-There was a ter
rible fire tonight in Oendenning's block,
Victoria Square. 1t originated in Miller,
Son & Co.'s bookbindery and stationery store,
and extended to the following premises, all
of which are now guttet; Greenshield, Son
< Co., dry goods; Aefntyre s. French, dry
goods; Clendenning, stoves. Losses-Miller,
Son & Co. $15O,0O0; Greenshield, Son & Co,
S350,000; Mcintyre & Co., 100000; Glen
denning, building and stock, 100000. In
sured in all the leading English and Ca
madam Offices for three-fourths value.
LatT.-At 1880 the fire RACES as fiercely
as ever. The water power at the beginning
was not sufficient to cover the upper stories
of the building where the flames had the
strongest hold. Three steam eDgines-all in
the city-were brought into requisitIon, but
they seem useless in conquering the fire. The
loss will not be SO heavy on Mcintyre & French
at first believed, the wind having changed
in time to partially save the premises and
the stock in the northwest end of the block
The fire is now on the Craig street side.
From all appearances the whole block, except
Mcintyre & French's, will be reduced to
ashes, but the flames will not be allowed to
extend further. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

THE debt of the delunct municipality of
Memphis is as much OF muddle as ever.
The three experts employed by the Taxing
District Council to ascertain what it is in
amount and character, yesterday reported
the approximate amount OF it to be 81 Gill;
$50 6S. Interest on judgment, paving and
other Indebtedness, not estimated in the
Latham statement, is to be added TO this
AMOUNT, but 40 data, the experts say, is con-
tanned in said statement from which an esti-
mate of the interest can be made with any
pretension 20 accuracy. They go further
than this, an express the telief that cor
rect estimate of the financial affairs of the
old city can never be obtained, other than
"by a systematic review and compl eie
analysis of The debt, commencing with
the first bond or other evidence
Of indebtedness ever issued by the
city, the authority under which it
was issued, etc, tracing these matters, with
accumulated interest, down to given
date, TO take up the assets and treat them in
the same exhaustive manner, work OF i'm
mense magnitude, requiring a large clerical
force and months Of slabor." We doubt if
even that sort of system tic labor would
complish the desired result. The debt of
Memphis will never be known save by pay
ment, and as the evidences of 1t are can
celed. The people will have to be
content with The story told by the
face value OF the bond. The report of
the experts is as useful as Latham's, and
Latham's as useful as this of the experts.
As to the sugg ssiion-the sting in the tail of
the report-of the Taxing District suthori-
ties having a conference with the
creditors of the city OF Memphis,
there is no warrant in law for such
a step, and We hope there never will be.
The people have declared very positively
that there ought not to be, and with their
consent there will not be. The committee
of sixteen appointed at the recent meeting of
citizens will no doub. point out a way by
which settlement may he made without
jeopariizing the safety of the taxpayers of
The District and subiecting them to the be-
devilments and annoy anees of mandamuses.
That snake has been scotched, and it must
stay scotched.

THE ConkliDg-Shsrpe controversy still

news that Mr.. Conkling wanted and expected
to be "vindicated" by a reelection to the
Senate, which was equivalent 10 an order to
his faithful henchmen. But Mr.. Wilson, the
messenger in question, denies this most en-
phatically. He says the only man he spoke
to was tie governor, and adds:
As special messenger carrying those documents

five Bohemisns, who live in adjacent dis

filed with people, so the police had to clear
the way for passage. When about halfway

men, but as the excitement increased the
