INDIAN TERRITORY.
Insurgent Creeks Grow Defiant, But Are
Pursued and Captured.


Pursued and Captured.
ANADARKo, I. t., April A.-[Special.l-
The insurgent Creeks, who have been here
some time, were in communication with
Colonel Bates, of the Twentieth infantry,
and had promised to return if he could get
no longer delay.
Yesterday morning the delay granted ex-
pireu, and as they showed no disposition to
return to their homes, Colonel Bates, who
had already called for troops, took four
companies of cavalry and surrounded the
camp of Ispieche before daylight, but when
thew closed in it was discovered that the
Indians were not there. A little later the
Creeks were found on the opposite side OF
The stream in line, and said II the troops
crossed, it was fight. After some parleylng
the troops made charge, when the In
dams broke and ran, pursued by the
troops.
A large party of them were forced out
on to the prairie and here there was sharp
and exciting race for about ten miles, but
the larger horses of the troops here proved
TOO much for the ponies, and they were
finally surrounded. :.
An eve witness of the scene remarked it
looked more like party OF cowboys try
ing to round up the stampedlng nerd imam
ANYTHING else he could liken it to.
There was not shot fired on either side
up to this morning.
The number OF Indians captured was
sixty-seven warriors and titty-four women
and children. Among the captured are
Isipieche and Tucha Abache. Harioe and
Hodulgee Fixyo are still at large, but troops
are in hot yursuit and will probably sue
coed in capturing them all in few days.
Our own Indians here behaved admirably
throughout the trouble.

Mexican Reciprocity Treaty.

Those who best realized the advantages
TO be gained by Mexico from the proposed
commercial treaty with the United States,
we're grievously disappointed at the am
nouncement that the American senate had
adjourned without taking any action i'll me
matter. IL was understood that the presi-
dent was ANXIOUS for immediate legislation
on the tariff question, a. d would call IN
extra session OF congress unless such legs
lation were enacted before adjonrnmeDt.
However, as congress passed a tariff bill, an
extra session is not likely TO be called, and
hence the consideration of the treaty
with Mexico will lie over until
next Dec, mber. Our ott-eXpressed
fears have thus been realized in
the fact that the treaty has encountered
violent and effective opposition in the circles
which we're here enormously and persist
entity represented as anxious Tor the ireety
under any and all circumstances. There IS
no doubt that popular sentiment III Inc
United States is in favor OF such measure
by which heavy breach wou0d be mrde
in the strong ramparts of the protectionlSts.
But the united and formal opposition OF
this strong element has proved more Ell
fectiye than the general and nnorgaDi2ed
popular sentiment. We wni hope that
when the question is again revived in the
United States senate, the wishes OF the oso-
pie and the commercial Interests OF botn
nations will more than counLerbeIsnee tno

unlawful business; among them wss
shepherd Of r. W. Shsefer's, who had A.
sisted them in stealing at one time 90

Cities Warmer Than the Country

Those who happen to live little distance
from the heart of a city, says science must
freuuentls have noticed a lack of accord
between the readings OF their own standard
thermometers and The published obserVa-
tions of the siguai-sergice observer OF Their
locality. The reason of the dlscord is plain,
viz: the perturbing action OF the neat
which the city eelits; and, however graft
wing il may be to the outsider 20 lind biin-
self superior to the government observers,
it is very little to the credit OF the weather
bureau that this particular source OF error
was not long since recognized and avoided.
The remarks OF Professor Whitney on the
subject, as applied TO observations made aT
Lopdon are pertinent and convincing. de
saws: at lisa well known fact, that CITIES
are considerably warmer than the
more thinly inhabited country,
otherwise under similar climatic conditions.
Statistics prove this 10 be true; and there
could be no doubt that such W0nld ne
the effect of an immense aggregation OF
population withina limited space, even y
there were no statistics bearing on this
question. Many millions OF tons Of coal are
burned IN aud about London during every
wear; and the whole mass OF brick OF which
the city is built is heated during the en-
tire winter, and more or less daring the
summer, many degrees above the naiuTa!
temperature. There can be no question
that conditions such as are here Indicated
yitiate all observations made in or near
large cities, with view TO the determine
ton of any possible secular vltlauon o. me
temperature."

pot on the east being destroyed. The
iail caught several times, but by the exer-
lions OF the citizens was spared. The
prisoners were taken out, the sheriff sup
nosing they were in danger. The fire orig
mated back of and between the row cfframe
buildings and the Jail, and was certainly
the work of an inceDdiary. The following

INLovE WITH EDWIN BOOTH.
A Foolish Girl Tempts Fate and is Fortu'
nate In tho Mans Honesty.


Speaking of the persecution OF actors re-
minds me Of a very pretty story regarding
Edwin Booth. 1t was while he was play
ing at the Winter Garden that young miss
in her teens fell desperately in love with
him. She was the only daughter OF
wealthy parents, and night after night she
would make some excuse to leave her
home and go to the theatre. She deluged
Booth with love letters, and finally he
wrote to her, telling her to meet him at the
stage door at the end OF the performance on
certain evening She was there according
to appointment.
Booth handed her into his carriage, and
gave some whispered directions to the
driver. The horses were driven rapidly,
and in few moments the young girl found
herself in front of her own home. The
carriage stopped, and Booth assisted her
to alight. Taking her arm in his, he
walked with her no TO the stoop, and rang
the bell. 1t was late, and his
girls father, who had become
very anxious about her whereabouts,
opened the door. When he saw her in the
company of the actor, he started back In
astonishment "Mr -" said Booth, very
quietly, II have brought your daughter
home. She has been very foolish, but sht
has promised never 10 be so again, and
would advise you 10 take better care Of her.
with these words be turned and lett. Thai
young girl is happy wife and mother now
! but she never tires of telling the lesson she
received from the great actor.-tNew NorE
