whose son is with the party, from Kearne's Canon,
Arizona Territory, under date OF September 20, as
follows: sour party arrived here yesterday from
an exploring tour among the ancient Indian tribes
of the Province OF Tusayan, In northwestern
Arizona. The weather during the time was de-
llghtful and all the Indian tribes we visited met
us with more than ordinary cordiality, except
one-th1s tribe called Oriaot is the farthest on
toward the grand canon OF the Colorado rtver, and
has seldom been visited by white men. We spent
two or three days at or near the village and en-
deavored in every way to secure their good will,
but to no avail Many OF them would not shake
hands with us, and the last night We camped near
them our guide-an Indian-went to the village
to spend the night, but about midnight he re-
turned In state Of excitement, having been
driven out OF the village by the Oriablas, Cor the

As soon as the postal notes were issued the
question of their being counterfeited was at once
raised The reproduction OF the notes, it was said,
would be a very easy matter, but In all the dis

not considered. This is now being done in New
York city, and it promises to give some trouble to

caused by the system OF punching out the num-

done consists OF the construction OF tunnel, res
ervoir and dam. which works may be given out
separately or all together, according to the bids.
The money for the work has already been appro-
priated, and the contract will be promptly made
after the bids are opened. The time for the COM
pletion OF the work is limited to July /, 1885, The

Will be first dug and the work or blasting for the

Important Army Changes Impending.
GEN. SHERIDAN 10 SUCCEED GEN. SHERMAN NovEM-
BER 1sT-REsuLT OF THE CHANGE-A PROBABLE
SHIFTING OF PLACES ALL ALONG THE LINE-TALK
AMONG ARMY OFFICERS.
Gen. Sherman has expressed the intention OF
turning the command OF the army over to Gen.
Sheridan on the first OF November, and Gen Sheri-
dan has expressed his intention OF being in WASH
ington at that time to accept 1t. That change
Will be followed by q number OF important ones
down the line, and as the date mentioned draws
near the subject OF what they will be and what
ot1cers will be affected by them is being very
widely discussed In army circles Gen. Miles and
Gen. Augur are both absent from their commands
on leaves the one, it Is said, came on business in
connection with lawsuit with which he Is inter-
marriage OF his son. 1t is generally understood,
however, that all their time will not be occupied
with these matters. When Gen. Sheridan assumes
command they want something, and they will be
on the ground to make q strong effort
to get 1t. General Miles would like
very much to succeed Gen. Hunt in command OF
the department. OF the south, but fears that Gen.
is thought, prefers to remain in Texas, and will
try to prevent Gen. Terry from succeeding him
there. There is considerable talk as to who will
succeed Gen. Sheridan as commander OF the de-
partment OF the Missouri, and it is generally
thought that Gen. Schofleld will be the man. His
friends have claimed for some time that he Is GER
tain OF 1t. OF late Gen. Popes name is prominently
the former. Gen. Pope will not care to be sent to
San Francisco. and In case he is not selected to
succeed Gen. Sheridan will make an effort to re-
main at Fort LeavenWOrth.
