NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
speculntions as to Where 1t win be Held.

WASHINGTON, July 13.--Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, Mr.. John C. New, who
ID the member OF the Republican National
Committee from Indiana, has been inter-
viewed In regard to the place at which the
next Republican convention will be held.
Mr.. New expresses the opinion that Indian
apolis will undoubtedly be the city selected.
In the history Of the party Chicago has had
the convention three times, Baltimore, Gin
cinnati, and Philadelphia each once. There
Is no inducement offered for selecting New
York, city that doss not care for National
conventions, because its coming and going
is of no financial importance. Saratoga, he
says, would probably offer sufficient accom-
modations, but it has not been the custom
to hold great conventions at a watering
place. Indianapolis, Mr.. New says. Is not
only central, but it has sufficient hotel "a
cilities for place Of meeting. A building
of sufficient hotel facilities for meeting can
be erected In which to hold the convention.
As member of the National Committee,
Mr.. New says he shall vote against holding
the meeting in any building holding over
1900 people. He says he believes that is
the sentiment of the majority if not all of
the members of the Committee. The expe-
rience 1t Chicago In 1880 was sufficient to
warn the party never to hold another Ma
tional convention In q barn. Seats must be
provided In the next Convention for dele
gates and alternates for over 1000 persons;
If there Is even room for 1000 or 8, 00G spec.
tators it ought to be ample. He says Indian
apolis is q city noted for its hospitality, and
the residences of Republicans there will be
open to receive strangers. He does not
know why IL should not now be plainly
stated that Indiana will not present Re.
publican Candidate for the Presidency.
Ohio may and probably will. On the other
hand, Mr.. New says, he believes that Joe
Mcdonald will be the Democratic candidate
and Indiana has got TO have something to
counteract the influence of his popularity
and candidacy. If she is to give her electoral
vote for the Republican nominee. He says
Chicago Is out of the question as q place to
hold the next National Conventions; that
Cincinnati is not desirable place in the
summer, and there is no occasion for com.
ing East.

THE TELEGRAPHERs, STRIKE.
Their Demands Concissiy Stated and Criti
cised.

NEW Y ORR, July 1.-THE Herald editor
tally says Of the threatened strike of the
brotherhood of Telegraphers, that although
their petition Is couched In respectable terms
1t leaves the impression Of asking too much.
It requests that the days work be made
eight hours instead Of nine, and the nights
work seven instead Of eight hours, . reduc.
ton OF one-ninth In one case and one eighth
In the other. At the same time It wants all
the wages increased Is per cent, irrespective
of age, skill or position of operator, besides
extra compensation for Sunday work. The
real effect of these demands will be best
illustrated by example. Day operators re.
csiye, ssy S55 per month, or, counting nine
hours to the day and six days to the week,
about 35 cents per hour. Under the propos.
ed rate Of monthly wages it will be $685.
for day work for eight hours during six days
In the week, or about 45 cents per hour; an
actual increase Of more than p per cent. In
regard TO Wheatstone operators the increase
Of 65 per cent. il demanded for them. On
the whole it may be doubted whether the
operators have made strong case. That
evils exist cannot be- questioned. but they
will not BE- remediad by the course taken.
The executive cbnnnittee Of The Wester,,
Union Telegraph Company will meet to-
morrow, and tho petition Of the operators
will theu be brought to their consideration.
One officer Of the company said to day it wax
impossible 10 say what action would be
taken. The general opinion was that the
demand was excessive and unreasonable. No
action has yet been taken by the Mutual,
American Rapid, or Baltimore & Ohio Com
panies.

What the Greasers and Grumblers Have to
Say About Crook.

DALLAS, July 15.-State Senator Barnett
Gibbs, of Dallas returned last night from an
extended trip to Mexico. In an interview
he said he was surprised at what he saw and
heard concerning the late Indian campaign
in the southwest. He went into the valleys
and the country which were lately overrun
by the Apaches, and visited the scenes Of
General Crooks late exploits. He says that
instead of Crook capturing the fighting
Indians they captured him. He did take In
afew old Indians and squaws. When he
started out of the mountains, some bucks,
about eighty in number, followed and over
took him and sent in messenger to ask for
II pow WOW. This was granted and the war
riors came in and in the boldest manner told
General Crook that he would be allowed to
leave on condition that he would promise to
get the government TO permit them to return
to the reservation without punishment.
This he promised because Re could not help
himself. The residents of the valleys say
that the White Mountain Apaches, who
were guides with General Crook In the pow
WOW, divided ammunition with the hostiles.
The latter told General Crook that some of
their men were without horses, and that as
soon as they could get down into the Next
can settlements and get their horses, they
would follow him into the reservation.
They did this and killed several Mexicans on
their way.
The valley folks say that the White Noun
tain Apachrs were openly in communication
with the hoSfiles and would never fight them
As an illustration of friendship between the
two, one of the White Mountain Apaches
appeared among the soldiers with the watch
Of Judge McComas, who had heel. lille,l by
the hostiles. On being interrogated as to
where he obtained the watch, he said hs got
it from squaw. The son of the Judge had
to pay $50 for the watch. Crook did not
dare TO disturb the friendly relations with
the White Mountain Apaches by making
him give it up. Senator Gibbs says this is
only n sample of the volumes of unwritten
history of the late campaign that could be
furnished and that the public has been i'm
posed upon.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jaly ia Guaymas
Mex special states that Crooks campaign
is unfavorably commented upon. They say
his scouts only came to spy out the country
for the purpose of seeing where they could
raid without meeting troops. His expe-
dition is declared to be altogether more pro.
ductive of harm than good.

Peace Apaches and War Apaches

Peace Apaches and War Apaches.
WILCOX, Arizona, July 13.-Linderman
arrived to-day from San Bernardino; he
learned that from seventy-fve to eighty hos.
tile Chiricahuas were at that place waiting
to surrender, committing no depredations,
but waiting an escort to the reservation.
Captain Rafferty, with one troop of cavalry
left Fort Bowie yesterday to escort the sur
rendered bostiles, and will probably arrive
with them in three days. Linderm an
has an extensive ranch near San Ber-
nardino, and is a responsible, wealthy cattle
man. He reports the Indians well supplied
with arms and ammunition, with large herds
Of horses, mules, and cattle, presumably the
result of raids in Sonora and chihuahua.
The hostiles are we'll posted IN regard to the
movements of the American authorities and
would not surrender until Crook was given
charge of reservation affairs. Their past ex.
perience of Indian agents dictated this course.
There Is reason to believe that If control had
been given exclusively to the Indian agent,
these Indians would have boited, numbering
many whites.

The Administration, as Commissioner Evans

THE TELEaRAPHERy STRIKE.

For several days the dispatches have FORE
Swallowed An impending strike by the Teleg.
raphers' Brotherhood for higher wages, the
direction of their energies being principally
against the Western Union company. The
demands Of the operators are probably fairly
stated in the comments Of the New York
Herald on the situation. The original time
set for the strike In case the company did
not comply with their terms was twelve
O'Clock noon, Wednesday, but 1t does not
appear to have occurred until midnight
Wednesday. At that time all the employees
Of the W. U. T. Co. 1t Ogden struck, and Il
is presumed the strike was general wherever
the Western Union lines extend. Yesterday
all the night operators who could be spared
off the Utah and Northern line were sum-
moned TO Ogden to take instruments there.
The strikers say they will accept no compro-
mise. The officers Of the company say that
they will not yield to the demands; that they
viii! be able to dispose promptly Of the most
important business, and the rest must take
its chances for time; that the strikers -
soon as out OF place will be Invested Of their
power, as while on the line they use IL to
the injury Of the company, and that very
soon they will ask to be reinstated - they
have done heretofore. On the other hand,
the operators say their wages have been re-
dnced twenty five per cent. In the past yaaz,
that their demand for increase Is less than
this amount, and that they are prepared for
long strike. Pending thequarrel the coun-
try at large must suffer from interrupted
communication and the absence from the
keys Of many Of the mos: skillful operators.
