Grant and sherman on Crooks silence.
CHICAGO, May 25sh.-Iu an interview with
General Grant, the question was asked:
Do you regard Crooks failure to make his
whereabouts known as an Indication that he is
in danger ?"
"No; do not. General Crook is an able
officer, and, as Indian fighter have every
confidence in him. He has not entered into
this engagement with the Apaches without
considering the obstacles that are sure to
sprine up before him. His progress must
necessarily be slow in the mountainous re-
gions. Tbs Mexican indians, accustomed to
the country, may temporarily int.ench them
selves, but that is to be expected. That
Crook will dislodge and capture them there is
no reason to doubt"
"You have no idea that he has been drawn
into a situation where thS Apaehes could
massacre him 2"
81 do not believe that be has met with any
such fate. My knowledge of Crook chsrac-
ter and his support, bearing in mind he has
cavalry at his hand, forbi1s my entertaining
the thought that Crook has met with disaste
At any rate, it will take official information
to convince me that he is not gaining adyant.
age of the hostile Apsches, and that he will
drive them to the wall.
WASHINGTON, May 25sh.-General Sher-
man said to-day that he has no fsar but that
General Crook will turn right side up with
care, and that he is acting under direct in
structioDs from his superiors. The object of
the movement, said Sherman, is to give the
Indians to understand that whenever in the
future they GO on raid, it will be with full
knowledge that it will be followed by swift
and cure punishment by our troops, even if
they do retreat over the Mexican bo.der or
the Canadian border.

New YORK, May 25sh.-Among the num-
ber of horses which arrived yesterday from
Los Angeles, Cal, under charge of o. A.
HicAok, was a very valuable four-year-old
colt, purchased by Edward S. Stokes, of the

became frightened at q train on the Sixth
avenue elevated road, and in running he
struck q Sixth avenue surface car. The
driver was thrown and received no injury,
but the colt broke one of It's fore legs. When
Stokes arrived he ordered the animal shot,
The colt was sired by Sultan, and his dam
was Hambletonian mare once owned by

CHICAGO, May 25ih--All doubt as to a
general strike among iron-workers on June

gone forth from the headquarters of the

THE STRIKING MINERS.
CoLLINsvILLE (IH.), May 25th.-The stu
alton to-day is more strained than yesterday.
Not . mine ol the Vandalia road between
L ast st. Louis and Troy is in operation All
are closed and watched by the strikers The
Mayor ordered the saloons closed at s, and
swore in 90 deputies, as drunkenness had in
creased among the min1rs. Eighteen or
twenty shots were fred last night in spirit
of deviltrY. At o'clock ,iis morning $50
striking miners assembled in the Abbey
mines. They ascertsinsd that the men driven
off yesterday had not returned, and then de-
tailed 30 men to see that no attempt was
made to start up. Some 200 started east on
the railroad track. A picket was left at No.
8. Collinsville being reached, they were told
that no attempt at work would be made to-
day. They then started for the Confidence
and Troy mines. No work is going on at the
| Confidence mine, but upwards of 1C0 stopped
there. The Bellevile and Csseyvile miners
were joined by a strong delegation from the
miners on the Ohio and Mississippi road.
Those who did not remain at the Confidence
pushed on to Troy, seven miles from here,
and surrounded the Brookade mine, which
was last on the Vandalia track. II was in
operation yesterday, but upon the appearance
of the mob this morning the men struck
work. The position is critical and the crisis
great tonight.
CHICAGO, May 25sh.-From interviews
with leading iron men of this city, it appears
to be a settled fact that the iron mills of
Chicago will shut down June 1st unless some
| unexpected concession is made by the Anal.
gamated Association before that time, which
is deemed highly improbable by the manu-
faciurers. The Union Iron and Steel Com
pany, which was expected to resume work
June 1st, has apparently abandoned all in
tention of doing so.

NFw York, May 25.h.-The World says
A few evenings since Hop Lee, who keeps
laundry on Market street, Newark, N. J.,
was arrested on the charge of keeping an
opium joint, on complaint made by re-
porter, who smoked the pipe in the place,
and bought fifty cents worth of opium from
Lee. Justice Dean fined Lee $40, and 50 70
for costs of Court, for selling opium without
labelling it poison, as required by the law sp-
proved February %, 1888. Yesterday, how
ever, Judge Dean discovered that the law is
not yet in force, the provision that the Act
shall take effect Immediately having been
accidentally omitted, and the Chinamsn will
therefore have his money returned to him.
