known fact, but It's effects have lately been
felt in remote quarter, which might have
been supposed to be exempt from all out

destinations Of Washington's society and
its ladies. 1t is even rumored that d.
vorce, or its equivalent in the customs OF
the people OF the most ancient race on our
continent, may occur in high life among
the Zuui Indians in consequence OF the
visit the chief men OF the tribe paid to
Washington last spring.
Those who have read "Gullivers Tray
els" have seen nothing therein more in
credible that the Zuni indians have found
the stories told by the aged Pedro Pine
and others OF their tribe who visited Wash
ington last spring. When Mr.. Stevenson,
OF the Bureau oi Ethnology, and his wife,
his inesiimable helpmeet in his researches,
visited Zuni in the early autumn they did
not see Pedro, who, III spite OF his nearly
four score and ten years, was out of the
town at work on his farm. They, however,
heard much OF his wonderful narratives
since his return, those who had stayed at
home saying that Pedro had "talked in.
cessantly since he had come back and had
told many lies" He had told them OF the
1. l,n,t Ian hu(
and the gas and Of the fine things in the
Washington house and they would not be-
lieve word OF it all.
Worse than all he had told the Zuni wo-
men that the plainest white woman he saw
in Washington was hands0mer than the
prettiest Zuni woman. This naturally
aroused their indignation, which they ex-
pressed freely 10 Mrs. Stevenson, asking
her il it could be trne. The wife Of Pedro's
son, "the Governor" is passionately in
love with her husband and anxiously asked
Mrs. Stevenson il he fell in love with any
Washington ladies, rs his father said they
were so beautiful.
The handsome young Moqui, who had
quite career as "inashcr" in Washing
ton and thought he had undoubtedly won
the heart OF certain young girl whom he
calls Meenie, Minnie being her name, is a
married man, and besought Mrs. Stevenson
TO be silent US TO his career in Washington,
especially in his wiie's presence.

OF bis affections straying after white ladies,
but the other married women whose hus-
bands were here will not be willing to have
them travel soon again.

THE DREADED SMALLPOX.
Rayages of the scourRe In Minnesota
Logging Cnmps.

MINNEAPOLIS, January 29.-Mr. Bagley,
who has arrived from the northern logging
camps, gives the following particulars Of
the rayages OF smallpox among lumber
men upon the branches Of the Rainy Lake
River and elsewhere in the northerportion
OF the State. The first case Of the disease
was that OF man named Kearney, em.
ployed at one Of the camps at the Big
Fork, which empties into RaineY Lake,
who was subsequently brought to Bagleys
camp, and thence to Grand Rapids, and
placed in an improvised pest house, where
he died one week afterward. Aman known
as Missouri" was next taken down at
Tom Doyle's camp on the Upper
Mississippi, and died within a week.
Mr.. Doyle had slight attack and
is now about again, but his wife and chill
dren are sick with the disease. They will
probably recover. This camp Is seven
miles above Grand Rapids, on the Mississ.
ippi river. There are two cases OF small.
pox at a camp at Trout Lake, twenty.seyen
miles north Of Grand Rapids, but there are
no physicians in that region. DR.. Van
Cleve went up some time ago, but soon
returned. At Caldwell's camp, on the Big
Fork, there are nine men now down with
the smallpox, an abandoned logging camp
having been converted into a temporary
hospital for those affected with the scourge.
Mr.. Baguley says that the State Board OF
Health was notified OF the appearance OF
smallpox in the lodging camps on Deccm-
Der 25th, but the only response was in the
shape OF vaccine matter, which was sent up
for use among the lumbermen. The seryi-
css OF a competent physician are requested
at once.
AT all the camps above Grand Rapids
notices were published warning strangers
not to call, but men are continually coming
down from infected camps on the Big
Fork, and prompt measures are requiredto
prevent Il stampede among the crews and
TO lessen the peril at every place from
Grand Rapids to Minneapolis. man
and woman came through Grand Rapids
three days ago who had been through all
the dreaded sickness at Big Fork camp,
aud it is next to al impossibility TO enforce
any kind Of effective quarantine regula-
tions.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, January 29.-The
Newhall House inquest was resumed 10.

examined. Their testimony was Of minor
Importance, except that Of o'Connell, who

that time various fire apparatus, hose and
rows of water pals. The latter were filed.
The witness helped to carry the people

sides Delaney he saw no other hotel EN-.

Antisdels had rescued lives like the
policemen did, they would not have so
much to contend with now.

ployes, said the lirst thing she knew Of the

thought OF the fire escape had been on the

also stated that more lives would have been

From Our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-lt is stated
on good authority that the President has
assured several Senators and members Of
the House OF Representatives that it is his
intention, should the present Congress fail to
pass tariff bill in some shape, to call an
extra session OF the forty.eighth Congress
for that purpose. The President is quoted
as saying that having committed himself
in bis message to Congress on the subject
Of the reduction OF revenue taxation and
customs duty that he believes that the
people demand revision Of the tariff and
revenue, he will feel 1t to be his duty to
ctlll an extra session Of Congress ior that
purpose. In view Of this fact the managers
Of the tariff bill in the Senate have begun
To- day to insist on continuous late sessions
In order to get the Senate amended bill
over to the House.
II bill is then passed It will have to be
substantially fixed up in conference

lieyed to- day 10 be possible 10 get a bill
through at this session, although it is con.
ceded that the prospect for passing the bill
is more encouraging than it was ten days
ago.
The Senate to-day concluded the iron
and steel schedules The only changes
made were reduction Of one-fourth cent
per pound upon all kinds Of galvanized
iron or steel, or articles manufactured
from them not otherwise provided for.
Nearly five hours time was consumed in
discussing an amendment to exempt wire
from the extra tax on all galvanized man
ufacturers OF iron or steel. The amends
