Word for His FaVOrite plan.

NOfd IOr Ills taVOrtte Plan.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Secretary Lin
coin to-day received the following dispatch
from General Crook, dated at Whipple
Barracks yesterday: ''The report that the
Chiricahuas have been forced upon the
San Carlos reservation is incorrect.
The facts in the ease are
that those who had surrendered
were sent forward under a guard of four
companies of cavalry and Indian scouts,
my instructions to Captain Crawford be-
ing that the Chiricahuas should be kept
with the scouts until other arrangements
could be made. The Chiricahuas who
went after their families told
me that they would join the column
at the line, or should we have
gone too fast then they would follow along
the mountains and come in at San Carlos.
We have no means of communicating
with them until they come in at the
agency, and if the first arrivals
find that those who started back
with us are not with the scouts,
we destroy all chances of ever reducing
them to state of peace. The Indians on
the San Carlos reservation are in no dam
ger of being contaminated by contact
with the Chiricahuas. AS a matter of
humanity l am anxious to get in the last
of the band so as to leave nothing undone
for the recovery of the captive bOy.

CATHOLICISM IN FRANCE.
Interesting Correspondence Between
the Pope and President GreYY

the Pope and President GreVy,
LONDON, June 27.-The Times corre-
spondent at Paris says that Pope Leo, in
his letter to President Grevy regarding
church affairs in France, complains of the
explosions of religious orders, the sus-
pension of the salaries of curates. the
army bill which initiates against. the
supply of priests, and the arbitrary
changes proposed before the Concordat
Commission, thus rendering the church
unable to defend it's rights against the
usurpatiOns of the State. President
Grevy's reply will be conciliatory.
The government has decided that Presi-
dent Grevy shall answer the Pope's letter
personally. In connection with this cor
respOndence between NJ, GreVy and the
Pope protest entered by the Archbishop
of Paris against the suppression of chap
laincies in Paris hospitals is interesting.
The Archbishop says that the measure is
one of cruel intolerance, but, notwith-
standing, the priests must continue to do
everything possible for the sick. The de-
cree permits patient to summon par
ish priest, and the Archbishop says that
the latter should stipulate for liberty to
visit all protesting Catholics,

early agreement. Should the steel mill
close the blast furnaces will also be blown
out. Feeling runs high, and much ex.

CHICAGO, June 27,-A committee of fif-

the questions for settlement was whether
the present rate of mashing-20 per cent.

The committee recommended that this
agreement be continued until the stock of
spirits on hand shows a decrease. The
question of forming new pool in Sep
tember, when the present pool expires,
was not definitely acted upon, The high
wine distillers were asked to accept a
lower rate of production than the dis

the large quantity of high wines in the
market, They declined, and it was de-
