THE INDIAN QUESTION.
5he Arapahoes and Cheyennes Going Into
Cattle Raising.

ST. LOUIS July 23.-Advices from the In
dian Territory say the result of the recent
leasing by the Arapahoes and Cheyennes of
the western portion of their reservation for
grazing purposes is likely to revolutionize
the entire Indian question. The rental is
nearly $4,000 per annum, payable semi
annually in cash and cattle. The first pay
ment was made few days ago. at the agen-
cy, every man, woman and child in the
tribes named receiving five silver dollars.
In connection with this lease the Indians
have started in the cattle business them
selves, and have this week taken the initial
steps. They have some eight hundred
head of COWS and hefers, with twenty
five blooded bulls, on the range north
of the Cheyenne agency The United States
government will aid the Indians in this en-
terprise, the Interior Department having con-
sented to invest as much in cattle as the In
dians themselves and turn them into the
common herd. For this purpose Congress
will be asked to appropriate $4,000 or
100000. With the number of cattle now in
their possession, and with the number to be
contributed by the government and the les
sees of the grazing lands the Indians calcu-
late that at the end of ten years, when the
grass lease will expire their herd will be
worth p300, 600. This will be practical solu-
tion of the Inian question, so far as the
Arapahoes and Cheyennes are concerned, as
ii will make the tribes self-supporting. The
enterprise is warmly indcrsed by Secretary
Teller, Commissioner of Indian Affairs Price,
United States Agent Hunt, and others.

NEW YORK.
The Company Claims To Be Disposing of
All Business Promptly.

All Business Promptly.
New York, July 23-The force of oper-
ators which reported for duty at the Western
Union office this morning numbered about
two hundred, and it is said that none of
those who were at work last week were miss
ing from their posts. There was no business
left over last night, and this morning all
wires were clear and there was no delay in
handling all matters. One of the officials
said the outlook was becoming more en-
couraging every day. He said: The force
at our command is now more advantageously
distributed than at any time since the begin
ming of the strike, and everything is working
much more smoothly than could have been
expected under the circumstances. Under
this arrangement of our forces, we hope to
avoid in future all those delays which neces-
sarily resulted from the decentralization at
tending the strike last week. The number
of applications for situations is increasing
each day, and before the end of the week we
hope to have most of the empty desks filled
1t certainly does not seem as though we
were much hampered, when we are able to
send and receive messages to and from all
points in the South and West. The state
ment that our business in the Gulf States is
completely blockaded is without foundation
This morning every wire was working clear,
and we are getting along about as well as be-
fore the strike.n
The rumor that boys and girls employed as
"check clerks" would join the strike this
morning is not confirmed by facts, and all
were at work as usual.
The striking operators held meeting this
morning at Irving Hall, at which Chairman
John Mitchell, presided. About five hun
dred persons were present of whom fifty
were ladies. Great enthusiasm was mani
tested at the encouraging reports received
from many points, and dispatches from all

the custom-house in that city. 1t was de-
cided that the chairman and Mr.. Mcclellan
should go to Chicago, and Mr.. Alexander
should follow if necessary. Mr.. Coleman
said he intended to go west tonight
Mr., Totten did not believe he could ac-
company the committee, but said Mr., Hill
would be represented.
An affidavit was read, signed by Patterson
e Thayer, architects, of Chicago, denying
that any paper called for by the committee
had been destroyed or suppressed.
Recurring to the proposed visit to Chicago,
Mr.. Totten called upon the committee to
state the intended scope of their investigation
in that city. He reminded the chairman
that charges had been investigated by COM
mittee in 1872 or 1873, and hoped this
committee would not go over the whole
subject of stone-cutting ii it was
One of his clients was interested, but he un-
derstood the inquiry would be confined to
the steam-heating charges.
The chairman requested Mr.. Coleman to
make specific statements of the matters he
wished to inquire into.
Assistant Secretary John G. New and
another member of the Hill investigating
committee will leave Washington the mid
die part of this week for Chicago to take nee
essarv testimony in the case against the Su-
pervising Architect of the Treasury. 1t is
thought that not more than two days will be
required for the hearing OF witnesses concern
ing the new public building at Chicago, and
that the case will then be concluded. Be-
fore the report is prepared, however, Secre-
tary New will spend short vacation al
home and probably month will elapse be-
fore the papers are ready to be submitted to
the Secretary of the Treasury.
During the afternoon Mr.. Coleman pre-
sented written communication stating that
the prosecution intended to examine into
all charges of fraud or corruption in con-
nection with the Chicago custom-house. Ad
journed to meet at Chicago on Friday next

Enoch Arden's True Story.

When Enoch Arden came home
after that memorable and disastrous
voyage, which shipwrecked him and
his hopes, he crept up the street
to his old home, as Tennyson informs
us, and looked in the window. There
he saw Philip Ray and Annie, his wife
and their child, all seated around the
hearth cracking walnuts.
The whole bitter truth came upon
him with terrable force. Annie, sup.
posing Enoch to be dead, had married
Philip, SO as to have home for her
self and child, and a man about the
house in case of tramps. 1t was sad
coming back for Enoch, and he was
mad about it. Not so much because
Philip had married his wife, for there
were plenty more wives to be had mol
because his child had learned to call
another man "pa," though that was a
bitter pill, inasmuch as the child
looked little like Philip any how.
Neither Of these things worried him
halt SO much as to note that Philip was
wearing his (Enoch's) clothes. With
a menacing gesture Enoch was just
about to dash into the house and an.
initiate them, when suddenly the an
ger in his countenence was supplanted
by look of terror and he skunk away
as silently as he had come. He had
caught sight of Armies mother, who
during Enoch's absence had broken W
housekeeping and come to live with
her daughter, and had become a fixture
there. (
Enoch told some of the boys after
ward that it was the narrowest escap,
of his life, and that he would rathe
be shipwrecked every FIVE minute
than to encounter his mother.in- Jaw
