the arrivals, which under the treaty en-

1t was evident that the majority OF the

from Casa Grande confirms the reports of
an engagement between Indians and
Mexican cavalry near that place. The
Mexican authorities refuse to tell the
number of wounded and killed. but from
an American surgeon at that place il Is

Torson, of Chihuahua is there attending
the wounded. The Indians have
broken camp and separated in
rowing bands of eight and ten
and are raiding the surrounding country
1t is believed that most of them have gone
into the State of Sonora. The natives are
in great fear. The special shows that
they are crossing the line on the Mexican

SAN CARLOS, A. T., Oct. "a. 1888.
10 the Adjutdnt General of the United
States army, Washington, d. c.:
Two Chirieahua men and one boy came
in to-day and report that they left the
Chiricahuas' camp near Casa Grandes
nineteen DAYS ago, and that all the re-
mainder Of the Chiricahuas left behind in
Mexico were to leave their camp for San
Carlos the next day. Last evening
one OF the Indians sent out
with BonitO reported to the
commanding officer at Fort Bowie that
Bonito and the Chiricahuas were one DAYS
march from there, and had sent him in
advance for rations. This was probably
misunderstanding of what the Indians
sald, as the Indians would probably have
been seen by my troops scouting near the
border. The Indian probably meant that
the Chiricahuas were one days march
south of the border. The Indians here

Mary Anderson's Success.


Among the passengers on the Britanui-
was Mr.. Abbey's assistant, who accom-
panied Mr.. Irving. He was met yester
day at the Metropolitan Opera House and
when spoken to concerning Miss Mary
Anderson, he said:
Her success is genuine, and beyond a
doubt she has caused flutter in the Eng
lish metropolis. During the first week
after her arrival ! had occasion TO drop
into the green room, where the actors and
actresses meet, and tell you il did my
heart good TO hear the kind words that
were spoken by heentire profession about
our little countryw0man. Every one ex-
tended to her the hand of friendship and
she has nothing to complain about.
''YOu know the first week of her en-
gagement was not, financially speaking.
a success, but that was mainly because
her managers made Il mistake. The gal
leries and pit were always crowded. but
the stalls were empty. London is Il fashion
able city, and none of the better class
would think of being seen in town during
the month of September, and no lady
would appear at the theatre in evening
dress so early in the season. That ac-
counted for the slim receipts, but after
the second week matters mended and all
London turned out. and night after night
the theatre is so crowded that the or
chestra is filed with an enthusiastic peO-
pie.
Zone fact to which her success is due is
wonderful photograph of her which has
been sold all over London. 1t is by Mr..
Van der Weydc, an American artist, who
takes pictures by electric light. To give
you an idea of the craze, | went into a
little shop in an obscure street, and in tho
window 1 noticed the pictures. On in
quiring of the proprietor how they were
selling he told me that he often sold
dozen during forenoon. Mary is deeply
rooted in the hearts of the British people.
''By the way, talking of Mary reminds
me that just before l left received her
programme. At present she is playing
'Parthenia,' and in a week from now she
will assume the role of Pauline in the
Lady of Lyons after which she will
appear in a new play which Mr.. Gilbert
is at present writing for her. She is con-
tinually talking of her native country,
and | suppose, like school girl, she
! quickly wore off the novelty of her trip
and wishes to be home again. But she
has a good deal of determination about
her, and when she returns it will be with
well lined pockets"

to the universal feeling for peace. The

with means for protecting, under all cir
cumstances, the honor, rights and inter

Second Mortgage Bonds.

second Mortgage Bonds.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-There were three
suits brought against the Northern Pacific
Company to-day-One by Dunning, Ed
sail, Hart and Fowler; one by Anderson
and Man, and one by Anderson and How
land. The object of the suits is TO pre-
vent the issue Of new second mortgages.
The ground taken is that the origi-
nal act of incorporation prohibits
the company from making any
mortgage or issuing any construction
bonds without he consent of Congress.
Congress gave its consent IN 1870 that the
company might issue construction bonds
and secure them by a mortgage. Under
that consent mortgage was made and
subsequently fOreclOsed. The position
taken by the plaintiffs is that the author
ity of Congress once exercised was spent
and could not be repeated. An order to
show cause, with a stay, was granted in
two of the suits, and the argument will
be heard November |

EX-Delegate Cannon Talks of the Mis-
siOnaries and the Edmunds Law.
Ne'c York Special to PAilddelpAia Press, 2gd
Ex-Delegate Cannon, of Utah, who is in
this city to see a number of Mormon mis-
siOnaries off to Europe, said this evening:
1.-The immigration to Utah, drawn by
the labOrs of our missionaries, does not
exceed 1000 persons annually, but we
look upon the duty of warning the world
as an imperative One."
"But the immigrants your missionaries
gather are mainly those who will be use
full to "A community organized as yours is :''
"1eS, we have more artisans in proper
tiOn TO population than any other com
munity in the world. Immigrants to this
country are, | believe, as rule, unmar-
ried, but those who come to us are usually
married. The wife and children come
with the husband"
''YOu ask about the Edmunds law. 1t
has worked just as | supposed it would
1t is enforced, but the results from it are
not what was expected by those who
urged its passage. When the proscrip-
tiOn element in the law was made ap-
parent to the people OF the Territory it
seemed to unite them. AS the law stood
on the statute books, it was unjust
enough, looked at from our standpoint
But the commissioners went beyond the
letter of the law in carrying out what
they thought to be its spirit. They ex-
tended its penalty of disfranchisement to
those even who became pOlygamists be-
fore the passage Of the law of 1862, which
made pOlygamy Il crime. The result was
that men like Brigham YOung's grandson,
who openly opposed our religion and de-
nOunced the doctrine of polygamy,
voted with us, because their friends or
relatives were IN their opinion treated un-
iuStlV''
