Chicago, March 2S.-A st. Paul spe-
cial says: A report was received at
Fort Assinaboine, Montana, by cour-
Ter from Capt. Jacob Kline, of the
18th infantry, in command Column,
operating against the half breeds and
Indians on Milk river, says he struck
Indians fourteen and one-half miles
below Medicine Lodge, where we're 81
or 40 lodges of Little Pines band. On
the 18th, by forced marches, he reached
the first half-breed village, and half an
hour later a detachment Of cavalry had
destroyed 80 or 90 dwellings, the leaders
had fled while the ~half-breeds were
badly demoralized and are going north.
The cavalry has been sent to the lower
end Of the village, and this movement
will close the half-breed campaign,
unless Indians again show themselves
on the north side of the river, when
Capt. Klene will drill them back to the
lower line.

This is a very promising claim of sill
ver-carrying rock in the Silver Crown
district, owned by w. M. Ferguson.
The claim was located something more
than a year ago, but little work was
done upon it until during the past win
ter. 1t embraces two we'll defined leads
which intersect, and at the point of in
tersection Mr.. Ferguson is sinking a
shaft with fattering results.
One of the two leads Of the claim is
six feet across and the other is eight
feet in width. The rock is of peculiar
texture, in well defined true tissue veins
and the assays average about $50 to the
ton in silver.
Mr.. Ferguson made the LEADER office
a very pleasant call yesterday and
seemed very much pleased with the
prospect, as the character Of the rock
improves materially as he goes down on
it. The shaft is down about 20 feet
now.

Neighbor Jones, Of the Railroad
house, is somewhat nervous and doesn't
know about these ~new-fangled tele-
phones. Yesterday as he sat in his
office reading his paper the bell of the
instrument sounded and mine host
looked up and around ~neryously and
then determined to let the resky thing
believe that he wasn't there.
That wouldn't work, however, and
again the bell rang and Jones laid
down his paper desperately and started
for the machine with determination
stamped upon his face; but ere he
reached the phone his courage failed,
and he turned and called his clerk.
"Here, Jim, come and answer this
darned thing; 1 don't know anything
about it.
"Why, 1 can't do it; 1 don't know
anything about the machine, either"
1.-The devil, you can't. Well, then,
I'll go out and find somebody who
can"
And nelghbor Jones grabbed up his
hat and slid out, not showing up again
until night. Whether or no ''the
pesky thing had ANYTHING to do with
his absence, you must Judge.

Washington, March 2S.-Scovilie
starts for home tomorrow. The final
meeting before Judge Cox Of Corkhill
and Scoville to consider a bill of excep-
tions will be held this afternoon. There
is no prospect Of the bill of exceptions
being granted. Guiteau exhibits much
interest in reading accounts of execu-
lions. He read the reports of the
seven h~angings last Friday and re-
marking that all died without showing
fear, said, ''Ill die without hinching,
too, il I'm executed. See if 1 don't.
He insists, however, that he will get a
new trial.

TWO SIDES OF IT.
The Opinion About President Arthur
Not Wholly Unanimous.
A Man Who Is Independent and Far
Seeing and Shows It.
A Dilatory and Procrasting and Par
tial Chief Magistrate.


Washington, March 28.-The dissat-
~isfaction Of the republican senators at
what they consider unnecessary dila-
toriness of the president in making ap-
pointments is gaining expression daily.
Last Saturday half a dozen or so re-
publican senators who happened to
meet at the capitol discussed the presi-
Dental hardness with Unit warmth, and
commented freely upon what they re-
garded as favoritism shown to certain
senators. 1t was remarked that both
of the Massachusetts seniors had been
sighted and neglected; that the custom
appointment in Boston had been vacant
for some weeks, and though both the
senators had urged daily the filling Of
the vacancy, the president had taken no
action at all. One senator remarked
that it looked to him as though the adj
ministration was a close corporation
made of leading ~stalwarts, including
several senators. 1t was said that no
senators except Logan and Don Cam
eron should get any appointments and
that they seemed to get any they
wanted. This subject Is a matter of
every talk between the republican sena-
tors and criticisms, and complaints that
were recently whispered are now loudly
spoken.

The concert by the colored glee
club in the Library hall, Thursday
evening, promises to be an entertaining
affair. The members have devoted a
deal of time to practice for this event
and should be rewarded by a good audi
ence, all the more SO as the proceeds
are to be devoted to liquidating the
indebtedness of the A. NJ. E. church
society.
On Friday evening the ladies of the
Baptist church will give another of
those pleasant church suppers, which
the several churches have held In
Library hall since its completion. The
occasion will be no less enjoyable than
its predecessor, as every effort will be
made to feed those who may attend
with tempting food, and make the time
spent in the hall pleasant.
On Sunday evening, April 8, the
Presbyterian Sabbath school will give
the Easter concert, which they have in
preparation now.
The Strategists are booked for an
early visit to Cheyenne with all their
accompaniment OF laughter.

There is nothing like going out OF
town for finding news of home. The
proposed action of the U. P. Ry. Co.,
upon the recent railroad legislation,
has remained clouded in sublime mys-
terry, despite reportorial efforts to faith
ON it, However, in the course Of a
public meeting at the board Of trade
rooms ut Deadwood, says the Times,
Judge Mclaughlin announced that he
and his partner, Mr. Steele, had pri-
vate advices announcing the proposed
line of action intended by the Union
Pacific. The prospects for a line to
the north were encouraging, but 1t was
somewhat doubtful whether it would
come to the Hills or not. The manage.
ment is in favor Of building to the Hills
and want to know what assistance the
Black Hills counties will render. One
thing, however, was certain, hat the
company would build 100 miles of road
this season, and probably more, so as to
control the Black Hills trade"

Kansas City, March 2S.-John Laird,
one of the indicted Blue Cut train rob-
bers, made a confession this afternoon
at Independence. He says that seven
boys were with the old gang which was
headed by a man he supposed to be
Jesse James; that it was the members
of the old gang who entered the express
car and went through the train, and
that all the country boys did was to
keep up the racket on the outside.
After the robbery the entire party went
into the woods a short distance, where
the leaders who had all the ''swag" in
their possession, said to the boys:
boys, we haven't got time to divide.
They are too hot after us, and we
didn't get the money we expected to
anyhow. but we will all meet on the
right fork on.the Blue next Wednesday
night, just n week from the night of
the robbery, and will divide there"
With that all Of the old gang mounted
their horses and rode away with the
booty in their possession, while Laird
and his comrades dispersed for their
homes, no richer than when they first
started out. Before the night arrived
which had been set for the divide, most
of them were safely jailed and the 9TH
ers fleeing the country as rapidly as pos
slble, and be declares his belief that the
robbery was a put up job, deliberately
planned by James and his gang for the
double purpose Of securing the plumber
and getting the country boys into
trouble, in order to divert the authori-
ties from their own operations.
When the docket was called Laird's
case came first and the prosecuting at
torney asked that he be put at the foot
of the docket, which shows that Laird
is to be used as a witness. The next
cases called were those Of Bugler and
Chapman. Bugler's attorneys an
nounced that they were ready for the
trial and venire jurors were sworn.
The court adjourned until tomorrow
morning, when Bugler's trial will be
proceeded with.

If the astronomical view that the
vas nee a part Of the earth's
mass be true, the moon in its early age
must have revolyed much nearer to the
earth than now and must have caused
prodigious tides upon its parent planet
as recently shown by Prof. Ball. Prof.
]. S. Newberry finds in geological evil
dence a refutation of this theory-to
the extent, at least, of proving conclu-
sively that no such tides could have ex-
listed since the commencement of the
geological record. He does not hest
tate to assert therefore that the astrono-
mers are in error in regard to the moons
genesis, or that If it was once a portion
of the earth, the separation took place
at a period so remote that it had reced-
ed to nearly its present distance before
the dawn of life on the earth.

New York, March 2S.-The Worlds
Washington correspondent on the Chi
nese bill, says: The president has not
been thoughtless in the respect of this
measure while it has been pending in
congress. Now that the bill has passed
both branches of congress by sufficient
majorities, the logic of the action of the
president is patent. 1t is urged that
the presidents party in congress voted
against the bill, and this is true: but
the president has a divided party be-
hind him and would not object on one
occasion at least to show his indepen-
dence of both factions and his Difference
to the democratic votes in congress.
AS a candidate for election to the presi-
dency. under existing circumstances he
can afford to rest for a time beneath
such a charge of being independent;
nor is he indisposed to oblige the demo-
caats on all occasions. Doubtless he
does not intend to permit Mr.. Blaine
to capture all Of the popularity among
the democratic half of the people that
is within the reach Of a republican.
Then, as an ambitious man, what should
the president do; the Pacific slope is an
important element in politics. Mr..
Arthur proposes to obtain strength on
the Atlantic coast by other methods;
the veto would be fatal to him on the
Pacific side of the country; the labor
ing men of the United States who do
not watch all the details of legislation
would know all about the veto and con-
denim it. Mr.. Arthur is not a man of
sentiment without sense. The vote in
congress on this bill has been of unques-
tionable political damage to the republi-
can party, for the bill was passed
chiefly by democratic votes over almost
a united republican opposition. The
president may fairly argue that he can
soften the blow to his party by signing
the bill.
One fact should not be forgotten, the
commanding speech in favor of the bill
in congress was made by Senator John
P. Jones of Nevada. Mr.. Jones has for
some years been a strong underlying
force in the politics of the country; he
impressed himself upon the administra.
ton of Gen. Grant. He has, unaided,
kept at least one man out Of the presi
dency; he has the admiration and conf,
dence of the president, of Grant, and
of Conkling; he is fresh, frank, true; he
has no selfish ambition to warp his ad.
vice; is quick and well informed and il
possessed of convictions with reasons
and Of sagacity. He never copes with &
subject without exhausting it; he know.
