commanding officer at Fort Assinabone on
the evening Of the 1st inst, to proceed 10

party Of Crees in possession Of stolen stock,
near the eastern end Of WhiteHorse Lake,
not far from Sweet Grass hills. The Crees
deployed and opened fire upon the party.
The leader Of the Crees in attempting to
crawl to where the Sergeant had taken a
position with bis scouts, was killed by
the Sergeant. Captain Norwood upon
hearing the firing hurried his command to
the scene OF the fight, and deployirg his

BALTIMORE, April 23.-The American says:
In all parts Of the city yesterday there was
talk about the manner in which Mr.. Fred
erick Gebhart saw ct to conduct himself
during Mrs. Lapgtry's engagement in Balti-
more. At all the clubs it was discussed;
the hotels were full OF 1t at meals and in
the corridors; in fact, every one who had
read the papers had something to say upon
the subject. The almost universal opinion
was that Gebhart, who is better and more
properly known as "Rreddie," had once
again behaved himself in manner that,
to put 1t in mild form OF expression, was
scandalous and altogether inexcusable. He
has been known here, at Pimlico, where
he had some horses, and occasionally at
one or two OF the clubs. HE appeared 10
be something like o gentleman, but since
his Lang,ry connection, while he gained
In notoriety, he has been civilly avoided
by most OF the best people. The man has
persisted in advertising himself and Mrs.
Langtry in shameless way. He goes out OF
his way to make public an alliance that
should be kept dark as night, What right
has he to ask Of any one who penned this
or that or the other in regard to Mrs.
Langtry? Were he her agent, or even her
husband, it might possibly be his function
and his duty to do 90, for in either case
ordinarily he would be receiving pecuuiIry
benefits. But he Is just now neither the
one nor the other. He is-simply Erred.

San FRANCISCO, April 23.-In an inter-
view with Chronicle representative to day,
Charles A. Dana, OF the New York Sun,
said the leading issue Of the next presi-
dental campaign would be to turn out the
Republicans. Continuing, he said: II
think the Democrats can come equarely
before the country as advocates Of tariff
for revenue only. A revenue tax on liquor,
which will yield enough to pay the PEN
sions granted under recent laws, Is justi6-
able. This tax would only last four or five
years, after which it would be no longer
needed. Even now, as recommended by
President Arthur, all interna! revenue
taxation can be done away with. l
cannot cay whether the active Republicans
In the last Congress ALLEVIATE the working
men OF the Republican party or not. Upon
the question OF the reduction OF duties on
metal, 1t Is too early to judge OF the effecta.
The only Southern States manufacturing
woolen and cotton goods, sugar, and iron
likely to be affected by the free trade issue
are Louisiana, Georgia and Alabama. The
sugar lultttbt5 Va LOutslhua Wuuiu Gcl taiH-

out protection, Louisiana sugar planters
would be powerless to compete with Cuba,
Brazil and the Sandwich Islands. The
iron interests OF Alabama are safe. The
effect OF free trade plank in the Demo-
cratic platform during the coming presiden.
tial election would, in New York 10 the pres.
ent state OF public opinion, be ruinous. 1t
would lose New Jersey, Connecticut and
probably Indiana. The Democratic party

didates in all parts Of the country. McDon-
aid, Of Indiana, is spoken Of. Hendricks
has friends. Bayard has warm friends,
and probably more personal admirers than
any other man IN the party. Palmer, OF
Illinois, is strong. Thurman is one Of the
ablest men in the country. II Ohio unites
in his support in the Democratic conven.
tion his nomination is assured. Tidens
friends are not discussing his nomination,
l am his friend, and am not aware Of such
discussion. II he were fifteen years
younger and had corresponding physical
strength, there would be mo- doubt OF his
nomination. I do not think the Western
States will insist upon naming the candi-
date as their desire for success predomin.
ates over every other feeling.

men who arrived here early; this morning

had partially recovered from their
exhaustion one Of the men related theft
experience on the ocean, which shows.
that they had narrow escape from horri-
BILE fate. His name, he said, was John
McKinnon, and that Of his companion
William Stone. They belonged to the
American schooner Ocean King, Forester,
master, Gloucester, and with their vessel
had been on a fishing voyage to the Banks.
On Thursday, the 18th, about 4;S0 a. NJ,
they left their vessel In dory, hauling
their travis. 1t was deusely foggy, and
after working till about o'clock they tried
to get back TO their vessel, but the wind
sprang up and they lost the sound Of the
bell aud foghorn and were unable to find
their way. n fai liz H,yt. ,igl
All that day It continued foggy, and after
becoming exhausted with rowing they lay
TO and took soundings. Finding that they
were on the Banks they, the iog
still hanging down. They laid at anchor
all night In the hope that some passing
vessel might come in sight in the morning.
The next day cleared off nicely, hut no
sail was to be seen anywhere, and after
passing Friday without food or drink they
found that they had got away from the
Banks. The wind rose again and blew
violently, and they worked for hours, tax.

On Saturday the pangs 81 hunger com.

most unbearable. They tried to eat the
raw fish which t.ey had, but their weaker

sucked the bones OF the fish for water.
Both Saturday and Sunday were spent in |
this way, but on both days the sun was al
most unbearable. Worn ont with exhaus.
ton and exposure, their hands blistered
with rowing, and their lips. and throat
parched with thirst, they felt like, Civ

preached Stone grew light in the head, and |
pulled wildly at his oar, rowing the boat
round and round, despite his companion's
efforts to quiet him. Two or three times
he made an effort to jump overheard, but
finally sank into a stupor, in which he re-
