A MISSING COMMAND.

The Indian outrages In the southwest re-
Gently, wherein large number of citizens
were massacred by the Apaches, who then
fed TO the almost inaccessible mountains,
resulted in General Crook taking the field
at the head of five hundred men and pulsu-
ing them. He sent back all his trains and
plunged into the mountains and uninhabited
districts in pursuit of 400 Of the hardest
fighting Indians on the continent. Two
weeks ago 1t was reported to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle that he had overtaken the
enemy and after hard fight defeated them,
but this report has not been confirmed, nor
has anything since been heard of Crook or
his command. A rumor has prevailed that
he had been overwhelmed and the command
massacred like that Of Custer, but although
he has now been out of communication for
over on. month IL is not credited that such a
calamity has befallen him. Crook is with
out exception the most successful and ex.
periencec Indian fighter and the best mana
ger of Indians In the American army. The
only manner In which he could have met
with such disaster would have been by the
treachery of his friendly Indian scouts, and
1t Is not believed they would be given an OPP
portunity to betray the command. Beside,
these scouts have left their wives and child
rem, as hostages for good conduct, in charge
Of the United States officers and that is the
best evidel.ce that there was no betrayal by
them. With all faith in Crook however, in
the valor of his men and the fidelity Of his
Indian scouts, there is q dread feeling of
apprehension existing throughout the coun-
try that he has been defeated and cut Off.
Mexican troops were cooperating with him,
sufficient in numbers to destroy the hostile
Apaches, and the hope is, that after a pro-
longed but successful campaign the troops
are being rested far from any facilities for
communication. 1t would be relief, though,
to be assured that all is we'll with the little
army that followed the vicious and vengeful
savages of the southwest to their mountain
Businesses.

PENfTENTfARY ROOM.
We mentioned couple Of weeks ago that
Crnchv "a Via - cf tha cra~c-o NM Jad

We mentioned couple Of weeks ago that
Governor Crosby. in view of the overcrowded
condition Of the Penitenllary at Deer Lodge,
had, In accordance with the act of February
%, 1881, notified Judges Wade and Galbraith
that until further notice they should SEN
tence felons 10 Imprisonment In the county
jails to be designated for that purpose. We
see some Of the Territorial papers In noticing
the matter appear to be under misappre-
hension, assuming that such felons must be
sentenced 10 confinement In the counties
where convicted. This is not the case. The
law empowers the Governor 10 contract with
the commissioners of "such counties as have
suitable county jails for pententiary pur-
poses" at q rate not exceeding $3.50 per day,
for the term of such confinement. This
leaves II optional with the Governor what
jails he may deem adequate, and with the
Commissioners whether they will make con-
tracts and at what rates. The Commission
ers Of counties not having proper facilities
are not necessitated TO provide them for this
emergency, although every Jail in the Terri
tory should be even more secure for ordinary
purposes than the penitentiary is. Neither
are the Commissioners required to make
such contracts unless IL may be deemed de-
sirable 10 do so.
Secretary McCutcheon, now Acting Gov
ernor, was In Deer Lodge this week, looking
into this matter and negotiating with the
Commissioners Of this county for the use of
the Deer Lodge county prison for such pris-
oners as the Sheriff here could accommo-
date. As 1t will require a day and night
guard and only eight convicts can be received
here and room retained for the ordinary de-
mands upon prison room, and as the Com
missioners think the use of the Jail worth
something, 1t has not yet been determined
upon to contract for the use of this prison,
Sheriff McMaster not seeing adequate COM
pensation in the rates offered. The Cover
nor is limited by the act in the per diem that
can be paid. However, there is disposition
on both sides to adjust the matter satisfac-
torily If possible, and contract may yet be
made. If contracts shall not be made in
this or any other county, the only recourse
will be TO hold prisoners under conviction
without sentence, until such time as the
penitentiary can take more prisoners or con-
tracts can be made.

Nihilisnn Drowned in Beer.

Moscow, June 1.-The fete at Petroffsky
Park to day was on q colossal scale. The
land upon which the entertainment was
given embraced about one hundred hectares.
There were four immense theaters at which
performances were given, circus perform
ances, bsllets, pantomimes, and professions
Of horsemen. 1t Is estimated that fully
forty wagons, loaded with barrels Of beer,
arrived on the ground in the morning and
by noon all this supply was exhausted. The
Gar and Czar1na, on arrival In the park,
were received with deafening cheers. Large
numbers of peasants had walked from dis
tant provinces TO attend the fete. One feat
ure of this immense gathering was the few
disturbances. The people throughout the
day behaved in very orderly manner.

New York and BrookIvn BRIDGE.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The police commits
sioners to-day at the request of the Brooklyn
bridge trustees, directed that eight men be
detailed for duty on the bridge from the
New York end TO the center of the main
span, from noon to midnight daily, -
A special meeting Of the trustees was held.
They referred the matter of the disaster to a
committee TO report. The mayors Of New
York and Brooklyn are appointed on this
committee. Chief Engineer Martin made q
report Of the accident, and said center rail
will be put up Immediately in the middle
walk up stairs. This, he said, would be
simply an experiment. As the accident was
the result of panic, the trustees decided to
increase the police and have made requisi-
ton on the two cities for aids from the regu-
lar force in special hours when there is likely
to be crowd. They would have on about
twenty men at one time. The question of
an incline plane was discussed, but no action
taken and the matter was referred to q
special committee.
Three victims of the disaster were buried
to-day.

THE BRIDGE INVESTIGATION.
The Superintendent Thinks the Arrange
ments Good.

NEW YORK, June Am inquest was be-
gun to-day in the case of the twelve victims
by the recent panic on the Brooklyn bridge.
Mr.. Martin, superintendent of the bridge,
testified to the facts of the occurrence as
learned by him. He stated that at the time
of the disaster there were twenty-five special
policemen on the bridge. A railing had
been put up at the stairway since the acct
dent, but witness said this would not remedy
matters there in case of another accident.
An inclined plane had been suggested in
place of the stairway, but this also would
not afford relief, but on the contrary would
be dangerous in slippery weather. The
present stairway was the best arrangement
that could be made for the safety of passen-
gers.
James Strenahan, trustee, said: On days
when there was an unusual pressure of
travel one of the wagon roads would be
thrown open to the public as a temporary
way, or If 1t should seem necessary addi-
tional walks for foot passengers could be
constructed, one on each side of the carriage
way.

THE BRIDGE DISASTER.
Searching for Missing PeopIe-Decreass of
Travel.

NEW York, May GA number Of per-
sons inquired at the police headquarters this
msrning for children or friends supposed 70
have been OH the bridge at the time Of the
accident. In only one or two cases Is there
reason to suppose the missing person might
have been on the bridge. The Oak street
police report that they have cart-load Of
property taken from the anchorage. Most
Of the clothing Is torn beyond recognition.
Very few articles have been claimed. The
Coroner will subpoena the bridge Trustees,
Superintendent Martin and all others who
can give any information In reference TO the
accident yesterday. He intends the investi-
cation shall be thorough. Superintendent
Martin has been personally investigating the
causes Of the disaster and the best authenti.
Gated information he can gather makes him
believe the panic was caused by pickpockets.
No action has yet been taken by the bridge
Trustees.
One Of the toll collectors on the Brooklyn
bridge told reporter that the receipts this
morning were IS per cent. less than they
had been during the same hours on any day
since the bridge was opened and the gate
keeper at Fulton ferry, when asked the dis-
ference In the ferry business to-day, ey-
claimed: Enormous our boats were all
crowded this morning and we at one time
thought 1t would be necessary to put on ex-
ira boats. The accident has killed the bridge
and we are beginning to feel the effects"
One of the bridge subordinate officers d.
rected tho attention Of a reporter to the
width of the pathway where the panic &C.
CURED, Of which he was a witness, and said
that within that thirteen feet, and from the
head Of the first stairs TO the bottom of the
second there were over 9, 600 persons jammed
yesterday. TIL ratings and the stone gaurd
walls are high and strong and In consequence
flesh and bones gave to the superior resist
ance of iron and granite. A panic like that
of yesterday Is likely to occur al any time.
The crowd yesterday was not nearly as large
as that of last Friday and Sunday.
Inspector Byrnes denies that the panic was
caused by pickpockets. 1t was due, he
claims, to the refusal of the bridge manage.
ment to pay salaries of regular policemen,
by which means the Trustees could obtain
them and thus secure the safety Of passen-

LABOR TROUBLE ADJUSTED.
Western Iron Manufacturers Sign the Scale

PITTsBURG, June 1.-The signing of the
scale by the iron manufacturers yesterday
caused great rejoicing among all classes. A
number of mills are running to-day, hut
most of them have shut down until Monoay
In order to allow the employees to attend fhe
picnic of the Amalgamated Association at
Beaver, Pa, on Saturday. On Monday every
mill will have resumed.
The wire drawers of divers wire mill, on
the South Side, to the number of $50, and
also those employed by the Cambria Ion
Works, at Johnstown, Pa, struck today
against a reduction Of wages of ten per cent.
Business men report that the effect of the
settlement of the iron difficulty is already
noticeable In increased orders. The mana
facturers do not seem very hopeful for the
future. A. NJ. Byers. one Of the most prom
inent, said that he did not consider the
prospects for the summer trade even fair
that the mills would only run enough to fill
orders, and that he did not think many days
in each month would be required to do this.
Jos. d. Weeks, Secretary Of the Western
Iron Association, is Of the same opinion.
The workmen are not worried for the future,
They consider the manufacturers G my
forebodings uncalled for, and they regard the
outlook as very rosy.
The strike of the wire drawers at divers
wire mill was settled to night by the propri-
etors Withdrawing the order for ten per
cent. reduction.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-The nail mill in
Belleville is running to-day as usual, and
Western mill will begin as soon as the dam
age by the late fire is repaired. Both mills
will work on the same scale as last year. A
telegram from Jarret, received at Belleville,
announcing the signing of the scale, gave
great satisfaction. The nut and bolt mill in
East St. Louis is also running to-day, but
the superintendent declines to give any fur
ther information.
