The war ON the Rordor

" AsHINGToN, April 5.-Secretary Tel
Ter has received from Gen. Geo. Crook a
letter dated March 81, giving further par
ticulars regarding the Indian situation in
Arizona. Gen. Crook. says that the trouble
was caused by the Chirieahuas, the same
band of Indians who since 1874 have
killed about 1000 settlers and miners in
Arizona. They are different band of In
dians from those on the San Carlos reser-
walton, although the sins of the Chirica-
huas have been often attributed to the San
Carlos Indians. The latter, he says, are
now behaving well and are disposed to
cooperate with the government against
the hostiles. The Chiricahuas have never
been subjugated and the difficulties of the
campaign against these Indians in the
broken country of Southern Arizona will
be very great.
A telegram dated April from Agent
Wilcox was received this morning by
Secretary Teller reporting all quiet at the
San Carlos Agency, and that Chief Ma
daski had been put in irons.

A CessnOoI in Politics.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, April 5.-The special
committee of the lower branch of the
Texas Legislature met here yesterday af-
ternoon to investigate the charges of cor
ruption made by the Ierds Sifrin0s
against the House in connection with the
bill proposing the leasing out Of State
c0nvicts for ten years. Joseph Walker, a
politician, testified that one of the Iessees
had quarters in private building where
poker was played by members of the Leg
islature and friends of the lessees. The
witness had been there frequently.
Whisky, cigars, wine, etc., were free.
Sometimes one of the lessees was
the host and sometimes member of the
Legislature was the master of ceremonies.
The witness mentioned the names of
Senators and Representatives whom he
had seen there. He testified to having
offered the prOprietors of the Democratic
Statesman $500 if they would cease oppO-
sitiOn to the penitentiary lease bill. He
did not have $500 of his own and was not
interested in the lease, but expected the
lessees to reimburse him in some way.

CHARLESTON, 5. c., April 5.-In the
United States Circuit Court to-day, after
representation by the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS in the election cases of the frivO-
lous and unwarrantable character of many
of the recent political arrests, Judge Bond
addressed an official letter to the Clerk of
the Court, in which he says: ''It has
been brought to the attention of the
court that in several instances in cases
of misdemeanOr the United States Com
missiOners have issued warrants of arrest
on affidavits made on information and belief
merely, without any inquiry as to the
sources of the atlantis information or the
grounds of his belief under the impress
sion that a commissioner had no right TO
make such inquiry. No warrant of arrest
or seizure for any Otfense against the
laws of the United States, upon
mere belief or suspicion OF
any person, should be issued. The court
desires that you inform the commission
ers that it is not only their prerOgative
but their duty to examine into the sources
of an atlantis information and the
grounds of his belief. If other proof
is at hand or accessible it should
be heard and examined. The issuing of
warrants of arrest and seizure is not
mere ministerial act, but judicial func-
tiOn, and should not be done till the COM
missioner's judgment is satisfied that
there is probable cause, and the
court desires commissioners also

BLOODsHED AT PANAMA.
An UncOnquerable Riot in Progress Be-
tween the Canal Laborers

An OncOnquerable Riot in Progress Be-
tween the Canal LabOrers.
PANAMA, March 27.-Severe and con-
tinuous riOting has taken place along the
line of the canal works, originating in the
race hatred between the Jamaicans and
Carthagenians. Some twenty of the
former have been massacred, and the
government finds itself unable to restore
order. Arms are being indiscriminately
purchased, and as no work is going on,
and as there are about eight thousand
men drinking freely, serious trouble is
anticipated. The government will find
itself compelled to keep a strong police
force on the isthmus, which is being
rapidly overrun by the dregs of all ma
tiOnS.
Charles De Lesseps cleaves the isthmus
to-day for New York. He insists that the
canal will be finished in 1898. although
riots and murders along the line must
have satisfied him that there are other
than engineering difficulties to be over
come before the cut from sea to sea will
be completed. NJ. De Lesseps has been
much teted during his three weeks stay
here.
Every arrival at Colon from the West
India Islands brings labOrers for the
canal.
The Star and Herald prints the follow
ing:
EQUINE, March 16.-Fire on the 10th

others. The railway offices were burned,
but the work shops were saved. The club

strOyed. The damages aggregate $4,000
600. JamiesOn's, DawsOn's, Gildemeis-
ter's, Blair's and Leslie's stores were de-
strOYed."

ENGLAND's CASH ACCOUNT.
Chancellor Childers Makes His Report
for the Past Year.

LONDON, April 5.-In the House of Com
mons to-day, Hugh G. Childers, Chancel-
lor of the EXchequer. laid before the
House the budget for the financial year
ending March 81. 1888. The total revenue
for the year was fs9, 100000. This exceed
ed the estimate by e4,069, 900. The decrease
in the consumption of spirits had made a
reduction from that source of $4,000. 600.
He said that the total expenditures had
been fSS,906,O 900, showing a surplus of
f9S,OO0. The expenses Of the war in
Egypt, including the amount contributed
to defray the cost of the Indian contin-
gent, was 1856, 900. There fell to the
present administration of the government
an Inheritance of e., ,S50,000 war charges,
which had been paid out of the taxes
of { 10, 100000 for war charges. He said
that he had no arrears whatever to report
on account of the war expenditure as in
Cured by the present government. For
the coming year he estimated
that the expenditure would be
$50, 'o9,OOO. The national debt
was reduced the past year by about
81 100000, and he expected to make fur.
ther reduction this year of about fS,O0O,-
600. He further said, that he expected to
see the debt reduced during the next
twenty years by 9172, 600 900. He
estimated that the coming year would
bring the government a revenue of fS9.-
100000, giving a surplus of e2691 900,
provided the expenditures did not exceed
the estimates.
Mr.. Childers proposed, among other
reductions, that provision be made look
ing toward a reduction of the rate for
kilograms sent anywhere in the land to
six pence each. This first report of the
new Chancellor was received with much
favor in the House, and at its conclusion
he was cOmplimented with loud and pro-
lOnged cheers.

Russian Prisons.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of tn
London Times saws.

The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Times says:
''As the state of the Russian prisons
has lately been the subject of much dis
cussiOn in the English periodical press, it
may be interesting to notice the official
report now published for the period be-
tween June, 1880, and the end of 1881. The
recent extraordinary revolt of over five
hundred prisoners in one of the houses of
correction in st. Petersburg, adds addi-
tiOnal interest to the matter. It-appears
that the outbreak in question was caused
either through bad food being dealt out, or
in consequence of a blow struck at the
StarOst, or elder, a kind of repre-
sentative whom prisoners of the
less dangerous sort undergoing
solitary confinement are allow
ed to elect from among themselves
for certain necessary communications
with the prison authorities. A commits
sion has been appointed TO inquire more
closely into the matter. Two soldiers
were wounded in guarding the outer gates.
1t was said that Lieutenant of the watch
had kept the prisoners at bay until three
companies of the guard arrived; but the
officer turns out to have been a Sergeant
only, and hence, in addition to the deco
ration Of st. Anne and other rewards, the
gift of p hard rubles was bestowed upon
him by the Imperial Commander of the
Guard.
During the period of eighteen months
covered by the report referred to, there
were 94,797 prisoners kept in Russian
prisons that were intended to hold only
10000. The OvercrOwding in general is
considerable; but in some localities, espe-
cially in Poland, it is so great that any
thing like order is perfectly impossible.
For instance, in the province of PiOtrkOff
the prison built for 125 inmates contained
no less than 652; in the province of
Suyalky there are 433 persons in
building intended for only 16j; and in the
province of Siedlce 4S4 occupy the space
which would properly be allotted to 207.
The disorder and idleness which naturally
result are to be expected. 1t is impOs-
sible TO emylOy solitary confinement, or
even separate the prisoners at night,
when such OvercrOwding exists. In the
prison which was the scene of the recent
revolt they are chained up at intervals
from each other during. the night. As
20 the idleness. from want of space and
general organization, the report COM
plains that in thirty-twO prisons in which
hard labor was performed, the produce
of the work done during 1881 amounted
only TO about f15, 900; so that the enOrm-
Gus burden of prison expenditure is not
much lightened in this way. The bare
cost of transporting 16, 1879 criminals as
far as Tiumen, in 1881, was IL, 900 rubles;
1852 prisoners effected their escape dur
ing the eighteen months covered by the
report, and not. as was at first stated. IN
the space of six months. No particular
reference appears to be made in the report
to political OFFENDERS

The Fate of the Delegates in Attendance
on the Copenhagen Congress.
COPENHAGEN, April 5.-The Socialist
Congress was treated to an unwelcome
surprise from the Danish Government on
the fourth day while it was in the midst
of a session. The Prefect of Police. after
having held a full conference with the
King, and secured his approval, sent to
Herr Liebknicht, one of the most out
spoken delegates, who was looked upOn as
a leader in the congress, and served on
him an order to close the congress forth
with. Those members of the congress
who came from foreign countries were
informed that it was desired by the Danish
authorities that they leave Denmark not
later than Tuesday.
KIEF, April 5.--The names of the four
Socialists arrested here Tuesday while on
their way from the Socialist Congress in
Copenhagen are Bebel, Detz, Aurer and
Neunninster. Although they were men,
bers OF the Reichstag their papers were
seized and cOntiscated by the State. sThe
shrewdest officers of the police did not
succeed in eXtOrting from the prisoners
any oral evidence against their party and
they were finally released.
The government will doubtless seek to
justify the arrest of the deputies to the
Reichstag in the pending session of that
body by declaring that the men arrested
were under suspicion of having imported
cOntraband writings into Germany
