Scarcely any Resistance Enc
and no Lives Lost bv the Frene..
The ENJOYS Indignant at the Bonn
Northumberland Work Promised the
Invaders.
PARIS, June 19.-Admiral Pierre. in a
dispatch from Tamatave. Madagascar.
dated June IL, announces that he pre-
sented an ultimatum to the Hova Govern
ment, which rejected it. He then captur-
ed Tamatave and DESTROYED Youle Point.
Mohambo and Feneufe. The French. he
says, have firmly established themselves
i'll these positions without suffering anv
loss of men. The principal operations
are finished, and state of siege has been
proclaimed.
The Malagassy ENJOYS had am interview
with Prime Minister Ferry Yesterday be-
fore the news of the capture of Tamataye
had been received. 1t is thought that all
further negotiations will now be left in
the hands of Admiral Pierre and the
French Agent in Madagascar.
LeIempS says that $500 French troops
and 1000 Annamite auxiliaries, besides
landing parties from the French SQUAD
ron, will arrive in Tonquin within fort
night.
Admiral Pierie's dispatch announcing
the capture of Tamatave, the Mala-
gassy Enjoys state that the demands of
the French were preposterous.
They knew that the ultimatum
would be rejected. The Queen of NADIA
gascar gave stringent orders not to re-
turn the French fire. She recalled most
of her troops to the capital, and only 200
remained at Tamatav TO maintain order.
Tamatav is defended by merely one mud
fort, mounting four old muzzle-loading
guns.
The Queen is now shut off from the for
elgn powers.
1t will take the French five months to
march to the capital, and there is suffi-
cient food in the capital for a seige of sew
erai months. The Hovas have there over
5000 disciplined troops, most of whom are
armed with Remington rifles. The nation
will fight to the bitter end. Meanwhile il
is hoped that the powers will intervene.
The ENJOYS regard the bombardment of
Iamatave as a wanton and cruel act.
They fear that many of the foreign resi-
dents Of Tamatave were killed.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The Hill in
Vestlgating committee resumed its ses-
sion to-day, and the counsel for Mr.. Hill
cross examined Expert Stinemetz. with
the avowed purpose of testing his knowl-
edge as an expert. The examination was
largely technical and upon matters of de-
tall. A good deal of bad humor was
manifested on both sides.
Mr.. Stinemetz said that he had heen
connected with the Office of the Supervis-
ing Architect from 1868 to 1877. and that
his leaving the office was due to Mr..
hill. The witness, however. enter
tanned no hard feeling against Mr..

secretary, which possibly at some time
would be taken up. The witness never

IN the course OF the discussion Mr.. Cole

prosecution proposed to show not one
fraud but scores, and systematized plum

OF puDnc buildings. He said that in the
case OF the st. Louis contracts il can be
shown that the contractors were already
getting greater price for the rough stone
than It's market value, and that still i'm
making the modified contracts the same
excessive allowances were made for dress

Architect of the Treasury to make CON

Refusal to Receive the Indians Apt to
Send Them on the Warpath.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June ia dis
patch from Wilcox, Arizona, says that it
is understood that if the Indian agent at
San Carlos does not receive the captured
hOstiles serious results may be antici-
pated, Other hostiles are now waiting to
surrender near the Mexican line, but
will not do so unless they are first assured
of good treatment ON the reservation.
Runners have already returned to the
line with the intelligence that there are
from $50 to 175 able-bodied warriors vet to
surrender.
A repetition of the occurrences of April
10, 1882, is feared. The hostile Apaches
then came into the reservation and forcibly
took out Loco and his followers. The
reservation Indians fear the Chiricahuas,
and would make a very weak resistance.
The Indians are with Gen. Crook, and if
his judgment prevails all will be well.
Otherwise there is still trouble ahead.
The Indians now out are well armed and
have plenty of ammunition.

SHERNIAN'S VIEWS.
The Tariff to Be the Great Issue Next
Year.

Year.
Cteceld'od Special to Philadelphia Press, 18th.
Senator John Sherman has departed for
an extended trip through the North
western States. In an interview held
just prior to his departure, he expressed
himself as well pleased with the Republi-
can State ticket and the party platform.
During the interview he said: 'The tariff
undoubtedly will be the great issue be-
tween the parties next year. In my
opinion the outspoken declarations of our
platform on this issue foreshadow what
the national platform will declare.
"lt is the great issue between the two
parties. Each is committed upon it,
There is no doubt how each stands. We
shall give it prominence this year. The
liquor question will not be sighted. We
are united on that, and so far as voters
may be interested, mainly in State affairs,
we shall confidently expect to convince
those who may be doubtful that our posi-
tion is right. think we shaIf be able to
do that so early in the campaign that.
after all, the tariff will overtop every
thing else in importance. Our farmers
are very much interested in it. wool
growers being especially exercised"
Mr.. sherman stated that both Harrison.
of Indiana, and Logan, Of Illinois, would
take an active part in the coming cam
pa!gn In ONO. "The campaign itself,'' he
said, will have bearing on next years
calculations. Neither party will lose
sight of that fact. 1t is early to talk of
men for next year, and do not believe
that personal ambition will be thrust into
the canvass or be considered by the peo-
pie at this time. There is too much else
OF interest and Importance that will en-
gage attention."
1--WE have questions of interest to our
people. They will keep in mind also that
the result at election will be construed as
indicating how the State may vote next
year. If considerations other than these
should be needed to bring out votes, such
considerations will bear rather on our
Senatorial election than on the PresI-
dency. The next Senator ought to be
elected by Republican Legislature, and
so pleasing is this prospect that several
candidates are already understood to be

BRADY's NEW BOND.
The Original Indictment Probably to

The Original Indictment Probably to be
Abandoned.
WAsHINGTON,Ju june 19.-Gen. Brady APP
peared in court to-day for the purpose of
furnishing bail in the two new indict-
ments found against him last week.
Judge Wylie said that the verdict in the
trial just ended would probably be a suffi-
cient reason for vacating the bond given
by Gen. Brady in that case. The original
indictment remained, but as he under
stood that it was nearly identical with
that recently disposed of he thought that
it should be abandoned.
Mr.. Ker said that the government did
not purpose to bring that
Indictment and if the court
thought that it should be dismissed he
would not object. AS Mr.. Merrick was
not present, however, he asked that any
action in that matter be postponed until
Saturday. The subject was then dropped,
and after some discussion, the court fixed
the bail in the two additional indictments
at $4,000 in each case. General Brady
will give the bond on Saturday
