The General in Favor of Living Up to the
Agreement with the Indians.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The chief clerk of
the War Department has transmitted to the
Indian Bureau the following communication
from General Crook:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF ARIZONA, Aug. z.
To the Adjutant general of the United States Army
Sir-Referrng to a communication from your
office of July 49, transmitting copies of the cor
respOndence from the Governor of chihuahua
and minister of Mexico with the Secretary of
state, with reference to the punishment of the
Chiracahuas who surrendered to me in the Sierre
Madres, have the honor to state that am in
full sympathy with Governor Terrazas in the u-
tlnate end sought, that is. the welfare and
security of life and property in both countries
Though the Chiracahuas prisoners doubtless
guilty. OF many and repeated acts of hostility
and outrage, both in Mexico and the United
States, they are now prisoners, and surrendered
with the understanding their part that their
past misdeeds would not be punished, provided
they behaved themselves in future To attempt
now to punish those who are on the San Carlos
reservation as prisoners would be act of per-
ftdy and bad faith, and would unques
tionably not only prevent the return TO
the agency of the Chiracahuas left
| in the Sierra Madres, but would preeipitate an
Indian war which would be more serious in its
results upon the interests of the two countries
than any which has preceded it, inasmueh as
| both countries are rapidly developing and new
interests and industries constantly being tuaugu
Rated, all OF which offer new facilities for plum
| der and destruction, 1t would be almost as i'm
possible to exterminate the Chiracahaus in their
| noun tains as the wolves and coyotes with whom
| they share possession of the Sierra Madres So
| long as any of them survive so long would the
carnival of death and depreciation continue
| believe firmly that exact acquiescence by our
government in the terms upon which these In
dams Understood they are to be allowed to live
| upon the San Carlos reservation appears the
only possible means OF protecting the lives and
interests of the people of Sonora and Chihuahu8,
as well as cur own country, and am firmly
convinced that If the present prisoners are
treated with good faith, not only VIII the rene
gades now in the mountains return, but also that
neither country will hereafter have any reason

The Missing St. louis Cir.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. pa telegram re-
ceived here tonight announced that Colonel
Churchill, of St. Louis had a letter from
jeremiah Ryan, 129 Fairmount avenue, this
city, to the effect that Churchill's missing
daughter was in that neighborhood. A visit
to the number given disclosed the fact that
Ryan was unknown. The house is occupied
by a German named Smith, who is an
uphosterer. He declared that he never
heard of Ryan. Old residents said they had
never heard of the name, A thorough search
in the locality failed to elicit clew. The
acting chief OF police sent out from the cen
tral station tonight to all police stations a
full description of the missing girl with in
structions that every effort be made to dis
cover her Whereabouts.

A PROBABLE POINTER
AS to the Future Policy of the Democratic
Party in Kansas.

WICHITA Kan, Aug. 25.-As probable
pointer to the future policy of the Demo-
cratic party of this State, the first Democratic
county convention for this fall held in this
city to-day, adopted the following:
Resolved by the Democrats of sedgwick
county, Flrst-rhat the election of Governor
Click was an instruction to the Legislature to
submit TO the people at the ballot-box the pro-
hibitory constitutional amendment, and the re-
tusal of the Legislature to comply with the in
structiOn was lagrant disregard of the wishes
of the people.
'Second-rhat time continues to demonstrate
the folly of prohibition and the necessity of its
speedy repeal.

minstratlon of cnunty affairs and the reduction

IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The Presidential Party at the Geysers in
Good Health and Spirits.

YELLOWSTONE, NATIONAL PARK, Aug. "a
--At1 O'Clock to-day after dusty march of
twenty-six miles over q rough trail, the
President and party arrived in the upper
geyser basin of the National Park, and went
into camp near the Old Faithful geyser, who
greeted us few moments later with one of
his hourly eruptions All of us were very
tired and hungry, and the exhibition that
seemed specially to greet the Chief Magistrate
could induce but few of our number to
abandon their lunch and rush to point for
observing this display. This evening was
devoted to resting, bathing and overhauling
our outfit, and little attention was paid to
the geysers beyond those in the immediate
vicinity of our camp. All are impressed
with wonder at what surrounds us. To-
morrow will no doubt, prove a day of inter
est and pleasure OF the curions freaks that
nature exhibits in this section l shall say
nothing. The whole park and all it con-
tains has been often described, and l would
not undertake to write up that which has
been so well pictured by Barlow, Doane and
others After our ride on horseback of 230
miles, every member of the expedition is in
the best of health. Not an accident of the
slightest character has occurred in the whole
io&rsaey to mar our pleasure.

DE CHAMBORD.
Press Comments on the Probable Result of
His Death


His Death.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-The body of Chambord
lies at Frohsdorf, clothed in evening dress
and decorated with the grand Gordon of the
order of the Holy Ghost. His hands are
folded over his breast, and in one is a cruci-
fix. Wax tapers burn at the head of the
corpse. The First Chamberlain of the EN-
peror Francis Joseph will be sent when the
will of the late Count is opened. AS the de-
ceased enjoyed exterritorial rights he was
not subject to tina ordinary laws of Austria.
As soon as the news of his death became
known the inhabitants of the villages around
Frohsdorf thronged to the chateau, where
they attended mass. kilograms OF con-
doleuce with the family poured in all day
yesterday.
As Count de Chambord was dying, his con-
fessor raising his hand, exclaimed: ascend
to heaven, sop OF Saint Lopis" The Count
left large legacy to the Pope His Holi-
ness telegraphed the family of the deceased
his confidence with them in their bereave-
ment.
The Daily News, in an article on Cham
bord, says his death, like his lie, will not
affect French politics The event belongs
to the romance of history, and not to its
business.
The Tunes says it sees little ground for
any movement of France favorable to the
Orleans Princess, who will not be so ill-ad-
vised as to urge claims which at present are
entirely hopeless.

of Examination.
Washington Special.
| A member of the Chinese legation makes
the surprising statement that the system of
competitive examination had its origin in
China, and is to-day one of the chief sources
OF state preferment. A few details of the
methods of examination will repay perusal.
There are three stages to be gone through by
the aspirant to the highest honors. The first
may be called the preliminary or matricula-
tion examination, the successful candidate
being forthwith honored with a title and going
about among an admirng rural population
as a Sing Do. From this he proceeds to the
degree of bachelor, or Hung Kong, and the
few who are able to pass the third examina-
tion and blossom out as full doctors become
as Tausi, fitted for the highest posts in the
| land. Any one may enter for examination.
An area is fenced with a close, high bamboo
or wood fence. Immediately inside this are
| a numbe of watted huts, in which eXamin-
ers and candidates live for the time being.
In the center is a wide, bare expanse of
ground, which constitutes the schools A
| certain number OF officials are taken off to
| watch the examiners, lest favor or pity should
| influence them to give hints to the aspirants
for honors. They are also kept rgidly apart,
and are not allowed to talk to their custo-
dians. On the morning of examination the
candidates mustered in the central
| square and each has bit of ground allotted
| him. An officer in the center displays to
them an examination'paper which consists of
large sheet OF paper or palm-leaf, on which
are Inscribed five short sentences written in
capital letters. These are copied by the can

A VIVID western Speculation.

HALEY, Idaho Aug. 25.-Considerable ex-
ctement exists in this city over a report
which appeared in last evenings Wood River
Times, that party of cowboys had started
for Yellowstone Park to kdnap President
Arthur, and Sheriff Furey has detailed two
trustworthy deputies to look the matter up,
with instructions to summon a strong posse
and arrest the kidnapers if the facts are as
stated. The Times says During the past
two weeks a number of strangers, all well
provided with good riding animals and fire.
Texas cowboys, have been camped on Willow
Creek and considerable curiosity has been ex-
pressed as to the intentions of the party,
some accounting for their outfit as party
organized to go up in the Indian country
on prospecting trip while others believed
them to be a band of Arizona rustlers. During
several days past some of the party have rid
den through the town in "A defiant manner
and mysteriously disappeared From man
who came in to-day it is learned that the party,
who induced him to join and take pledge
ofsecresy, were organized to proceed to Yel-
lowstone Park.
They left last night, going on the stage
road, and escaped during the night. The
object of the expedition is to corral and cap
ture President Arthur and party and spirit
them away into the mountain Businesses and
caves where they will be fed, but kept pris-
oners, while members of the party act as
pickets to prevent them being surprised and
captured while negotiations for ransom are
conducted. The captain or leader of the party
has an idea that a very heavy ransom will
be offered by the United States and personal
friends of the President after search for the
Presidents party shall be given up, and that
half million dollars or more can thus be
extorted from the secret service fund and
divided among the party on the principle
adopted by the Italian bandtti. The escaped
member of the party says there are sixty-fiye
men in the outfit, and some of them were
guerrillas in the late war; and five wild Sho-
shone and Bannock Indians go along as guides
and scouts, who are armed with repeating
rifles and scalping- g-knives. The leader is a

been set, and with the exception of two Ital-
ians who left the railroad grade the others
of the party are cowboys. grand council

tory Talk with Him.
Washington Special
Postofiice Inspector Giddings, of Virginia,
recently made engagements to go on the
stump in his State during the campaign in
the interest of Malone and the Readjuster
party. His name adorned numerous bills,
and was placarded on dead walls all over the
Commonwealth. All of Mr.. Giddngss
pledges were made, however, without con-
sulting with the Postmaster-general. Just as
he was about to start out in the field it was
decided to sound Gresham on the subject.
Accordingly, a delegation of Readjusters
called on Judge Gresham few days ago and
asked him he had any objection to Mr. Gid
dings taking the stump in Virginia this fall
Gresham replied by sending for Giddings and
when that official arrived in his office he
said:
Mr.. Giddngs, have you no inspection
work to do in Virginia Tor the next thirty
days?'
"Yes, sir, was the reply.
"Ther you had better attend to it," said
Gresham, ''or | may be compelled to appoint
some one else who will. You cannot serve
the government and make campaign speeches
at the same time. | have no wish to prevent
your making speeches, but before you do so
you must sever your connection with the
department"
Mr. Giddings has decided not to take an
active part in the Virginia campaign.
