THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
Arrival of the Party at Fort Washakfe
"A Pleasant Journey.

Fort WASHABLE, WY, August 7.-fhe
President and psrty lett Green River Station,
on the Union Pacific railroad, at l o'clock
on the-nasssios- navfpg spent
Sunday at that place. The three spring
wagons in which the party started we're
drawn by four Missouri mules to each
vehicle, and the two fist days drive was
made by relays for a distance of l01 miles TO
Camp Lord, on the banks of the Sweet
wafer, a beautiful mountain stream, where
an elegant dinner had been prepared under
the direction of Cip.-Llrd. depot quarter
master at Cheyenne. The President enjoyed
The ride greatly, being seated on the outside
of the wagon with the driver. During the
last forty-6ve miles the ride was run over a
country covered by sage brush, and hum
dreds Of antelope, and sage hens and mule
rabbits gave pleasant excitement TO The Iur-
ney. All EN- Dyed keenly the mountain air
and scenery. All o'clock on The morning
of the 7th, afIer a bountiful breakfast, the
party left Camp Lord for Fort Wsshakie,
distan; f)rty-6ve miles. The President rode
with the driver OF the first wagon during the
h1st stage OF thirty-one miles TO Little Popo-
gle IA miners deiighi), a mining camp bs-
tween the poin. Of starting of the first stage.
Tn party stopped 10 watch the operation OF

to welcome the Great Father, and dashed
across the plains around the Presideut's
party gaily attired. The squsws especially
displayed their skill in h~orssmanshIp. but
riding in the masculine manner and not on
sids-saddles, as ia the custom of their white
sisters. The party will rest here tomorrow,
and then take horses for the Yellowstone

work. In 1349 $1,000 psr.ons, dead of the
plague, were buried in the Spitslhslds Csms-
terry. The great plague of 1865 cent 6 {, 596 hu-
man bsings to the sepulcher. In 1925 the ssme
sooUrge carried off 35,4l7; 10 1903, 36,329;
in 1896, 10,4O0. But the e ire Of 1868 wreslled
with the destroyer aud overthrow him. Since
that grand publication by fire LONDON has
been free Of the plague. In the early days,
when instead OF the plague there was leprosy,
the command was-"If the plague be spread
10 the garment it is fretting leprcsy. Burn
tina! garment, whether in wool or warp or
skin, it shall be burned with FIRE. When
the plague il in the house, empty the house,
and it shall be scraped within and round
about; and the dust thereof shall be carried
out Of the city, and they shall TAXI other
mortar and plaster the house. If the plague
come again, ye shall break down the house,
the stones of it and the timber thereof, and
all the mortar Of the house, and ye shall
carry them forth out of the city" Such was
the sure and certain process in those rude
days; burn where burning could be done;
where it cannot, tear down and remove out
OF the city. The FIRE OF 1866 has saved Lon
don from ils losses OF so, 900 and 10000 at a
time by the plague for 220 years. To burn
and pull down and remove, what might they
not do for sanitation to-day!

CONFEDERATE REUNION.
Over Forty Thousand People Attend
the Meeting Mt Mckinney, Tex.

McKINNEY, August S.-The managers of
the Confederate reunion were in despair yea
terday morning at the heavy ram, which
continued Two and a half hour, and con-
verled the ground into the stickiest of mud,
rendering locomotion nearlr impossible.
Afterwsrd the weather cleared, however, and
the exercises commenced. There were fully
10000 people present, $1,000 of whom were
served by the organization with dinner on
the grounds. The speakers were ran. c ibell,
Ex-G,v ThrocSmotton, Gov. Ireland, Ger.
N. I. LAWS, E1-Gov. Hubbard, Col. Bomers
and Congressman Welbern. The tenor OF
Gov. Ireland speech, which was a fair san-
PIE OF most OF. tue others, was that the Con-
federates had no excuse to make for the part
tsken in the late contest. We are to forget
the political strife which led 10 the war, but
must teach our children of the deeds Of those
who wore the blue and gray. We are all
Americans and ever ready to battle with our
couniry's. asssilants, from whatever quarter.
Gen. Lewis said he would never admit that
the bloody chasm had been bridged. He
wss glad Butler had not been invited. But
Ter was 40 Democrat. The mime Of Jeffer-
son Davis was the grandest in American his
terry. The speaker would never make peace
with Butler. He might bs an unrecoI-
s'ructed rebel, but il called to d, md the ma
tional honor or rights he would respond.

ANAMESE
The Inc0nceivable Torture of the Orient
and Hts St0cIal Endurance.

Paris letter: The Anamese nave brought
the science Of implement to q much finer
poinl than might be inferred from the process
heretofore described. A French officer, who
witnessed an execution in Torquin before
the recent troubles, gives a very curious &C.
count Of the apparatus Of implement. A
lofty stake, with sharp point, is fixed into
the ground as firmly as a telegraph pole,
and with the upper part a chair Of iron h.v-
ing an orifce in the center of the seat, is con-
nscted. The point of the stake fits the ori6ce
in the chair, and the latter il lowered or
raised BY IN achinery set in motion by 4 crank
80 that several feet OF the pole can be
forced through The body OF anyone seated in
the chair. There is lofty platform, rising
to the same hight as the pole and n achs d
BY q ladder. The e1ecutioner compels his
victim to mount and take his seat in the
chair, whereon he is immovably ehsinsd.
Then the crank is turned forty or ffty times
the stake being buried further and further
in the criminal's body at each turn.
All this appears unutterabIy horrible 10
Europeans; but the Orientals are not consii-
tuled as we are. They fear ordinary forms
Of death very little; and decspitstion or hang
ing has as little terrors Or them as the work
house for the common Anglo Saxon criminal.

TEXAS COTTON CROP.
The Plant Materially Injured by the
DTouth-AIi Depends ON the
weather.

GALVESTON, August S.-The Necs this
morning publishes its monthly statement of
the condition of the cotton crop throus hout
Texas. This embraces some sixty districts,
covering essentially the cotton-producipg sec
tious of the State. The drouth has Injured
the plant materially since the last report
made by the Neus; and, although rain has
fallen quite recently in some seetions, the
prospect of the cotton yield in Texas, com
pared with the same date last yesr, has been
reduced from twenty to twenty-five per cent.
With immediate an and a late fall in
Southern and Central Texas, the top or sec
end crop will prove an utter failure. Much
depei ds upon the weather from now or, but
serious, injury 10 the crop has already been
worked with the most favorable further con-
dltions.
