VIEWS OF SECRETARY TELLER.

VIEWS OF SECRETARY TELLER.
Copies Of the kilograms from Generals Schoneld
and Crook, referred to in yesterdays STAR, were
sent to the Secretary Of the Interior yesterday by
Secretary Lincoln with the request that he indi-
cate his pleasure touching the disposition of the
captive Indians Secretary Teller stated last night
that he was willing to take the children and the
unmarried women, and put the former to school
and the latter upon the reservation but as to the
others they should not go upon the reservation.
His reasons were, first. that the Indians now upon
the reservation, the Indian agents and the white
settlers In the surrounding country did not want
them there; secondly, that putting them upon the
reservation would practically turn them loose be-
cause they would remain until next spring, when
they would go upon the warpath again; thirdly,
his appropriations for the support OF Indians would
not allow OF his keeping tne four or nve hundred
Crook understood the circumstances he would not
ask to have them placed upon the reservation.
The secretary ssid further that while his appro-
prtations would not permit OF his undertaking the
care OF captured hosttles, many OF whom were not
American, but Mexican Indians. the War depart
ment had 600 at its disposal for the support OF
Indian prisoners He thought the War depart
ment should take the Indians and corral them for
awhile until they became somewhat tame

DIR HATHAWAY COMMITTED FOR TRIAL

PHILADELPHIA, June 23-The coroner to-day
began an investigation into the charges against
DR. Isaac Hathaway, who is alleged to have buried
bodies OF neg1t1mately born Infants In the cellar
OF his dwelling. The doctor was brought from
ton. His form is bent and he appears very In
firm. Anna Maria Emory, the alleged wife OF
Hathaway, but who declares that She was noo
married to him, testified at length In regard TO the
operations OF the deceased-the burning OF babies
and their burial In the cellar. Sons OF both the
doctor and the woman also gave similar testimony.
Detectives Wofn and Miller were examined I'm re.
gard to their discoveries In houses occupied by the
accused, and the jury then rendered a verdict
that Dr. Hathaway was guilty OF abortion In
numerous cases. Hathaway was committed for
trial, and his alleged Wife held as witness

Making Steel Guns,

For several months past there has been in course

guns over others Is their superior strength. The
greatest difficulty experienced in the manufacture
OF this class OF ordnance is getting heavy steel

character OF sufhclent size to make cannon could

THE PROPER WAY OF CONSTITUTING A GRAND JURY.
Two cases are to be argued in Judge Wyle's
court next Saturday, in Which, when considered
together, the government will occupy a peculiar
position. In the case OF Prenttss, the ex-cashier
OF the German-American National Bank, plea is
to be argued that the grand fury was improperly
constituted. because when Jurors were excused
the vacancies were filled by drawing names from
the box instead OF summoning talesmen. In the
argued the same day Is that the grand Jury was
improperly constituted, because vacancies were
hlled by summonfng talesmen instead OF drawing
names from the box.
