A man named Mcclure was going between
his house and the store. with loaded shot

MORE INDIAN TROUBLES.
The Northern Cheyennes Fighting
Among Ihem>elve>.-TroOp Sent to
Queli the Disturbance.

FoaT kEoGH, July 10.
News of serious trouble among the north
ern Cheyenne Indians has been received
here. The following Official telegram was
received late last night: "The commanding
officer at Fort Custer reports that Agent
Stevens for the Rosebud and Tongue river
Indians of the northarn Cheyenne reserve is
at Custer with Acting Agent Burslow OF the
Crows and that Stevens reports there is dan
ger of serious trouble between the Rose bud
Indians under Two Moons and Little Wolf
and the Tongue River Indians headed BY
Black Wolf and White Bill. The latter are
attempting to force the Rosebud Indians to
live on Tongue river and threaten to kill
Agent Stevens if he attempts to interfere
with their plans"
The report says the Indians are much ex-
cited over the matter. An exciting report
has also reached here that the northern Chey-
ennes have broken out and they are led to
the war path by news from the southern
Cheyennes in Indian Territory. Still another
report says that in an engagement between
Carpenter and Robinson's COW bows five cow
boys and Indians were killed. These reports
all seem well founded and there is great ex-
citement among the ranchers and settlers on
the Tongue and Rosebud rivers. A detach-
msnt of soldiers under Major j. II. Logan
left here this morning for the scene of the
disturbance.

FAILED TO PEN ETRArE THE ICE.
The Alert AbOndons her Efforts in Hud-
son Bay.

OTTAWA, Ont July Is.
The failure of the government steamer
Alert to penetrate the ice at Hudson straits
is regarded as a serious blow to the scheme
by which it is proposed to establish summer
route via Hudson Bay and straits to Europe
for the shipment of produce of the North
west territories. The Alert was sent out for
the purpose of following up observations
taken by the government steamer Neptune
last year, which were undertaken with view
to ascertain whether or not this route would
be practicable tor commercial purposes. Sew
eral attempts have already been made IN
both the United States and Great Britain to
raise capital to allow those who secured the
charter from the Dominion to construct
railroad from Winnepeg to SONS point on
Hudson Bay, but so far without snccess
The government only sent out the expedition
to satisfy those who oppose the Canadian
Pacific railroad as the only outlet for pro-
ducts of the Northwest. not expecting they
would succeed in establishing the feasibility
of the Hudson Bay route.
Since the Alert returned to St Johns N.
F., those who until now have had some faith
in the success of the expedition, have aban-
doned all idea of its resulting in anything
but failure.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Failure of John Roach. the Great Ship
Bnilder-Four Hundred Men to be
Discharged Today-A Gloomy Outlook.
CHESTER. Pa. July |

CHESTER, IA. july ~.
The failure of John Roach has caused con-
siderable excitement here, where his solvency
has never been questioned Up to within a
year ago his weekly paw roll was never less
than $4,000, distributed among 1900 men
and boys Now the pay roll is little over
$1,000, but this will be reduced tomorrow for
il is the intention of the firm to sv of about
400 men in the morning They will be paid
all that is owing them. Only enough men
will be kept TO finish the ship Comsl, living
in the New jersey channel. The ship ward is
separate corporation and was not included in
the assignment. The yard will be affected,
however, as Mr.. Roach is large stockholder
in Chester Rolling Mills. Blast Furnace and
Combination Iron & Steel Co.., located here.
1t is difficult to foretel the result on these
places, each of which employs a great many
men. The work on the cruisers Boston and
Chicago, and Puritan will virturlly be sus-
pended and the heretofore busy yard will
present deserted and dull look. None but
the kindest and most sympathic expressions
are heard for Roach and the hope is that he
will come through all right. As the city de
pends largely on the ship yard and other en-
terprises in which Roach is interested, the
outlook for the coming winter is very gloomy
and idleness and poverty stare many in the
face.
BosroN, July 10.
The Herald's Newport special gives the
following as $ ,cretsry Whitnev's reply to
the question as to the probable effect of the
Roach failure upon the government. Secre-
tary Whitney said
II do not think it will have any effect upon
the government. am very sorry for Mr..
Roach. am always sorry when man falls
into such difficulties. The government has
one vessel in his shipysrd and two in the
New York building. but the amounts are
nearly all paid on them l saw in the morn
ing papers that MIR. Roach thinks am re-
sponslble tor the trouble, or at least, that
could give relief; but the government owes
only the amount still due upon the Dolphin
which would not be enough to put him upon
sure footing again. The affair is unfortu-
nate but cannot help hini.'

THE MAINE OFFICES.
Several important Appointments to be
Made Very Soon.

BosToS, July Is.
A Washington special to the Herald says
The President has been giving considera-
BILE attention 10 the Maine offices during the
past week, and it is probable that several
important appointments will be made during
the coming ten days He has indicated his
willingness TO appoint collector at Portland
if charges Of sufficient grave nature exist
against the present collector. Ii is under
stood that the papers, as submitted to him
for that purpose, were not deemed satisfac-
tory to send to the Senate. The present idea
is that Mr.. Bradbury will receive the survey
orship, and Mr.. Redmond. late the demo-
cratic candidate for governor, may be made
of Fryeburg is also mentioned as possible
candidate. Some of the Maine people think
the President will not care to decide between
Anderson and Cleaves. Cummings. who is
home this morning. He had pleasant in
terview with the President, and is said to
have made favorable impression upon him.
The present postmaster at Bangor was a sol
der, and was shot in the breast. 1t appears,
however, that Cummings was also a soldier,
and was also wounded in the breast, so that
mis- claim seemed to be quite as good as the
present incumbent's, irrespective of party
politics. MIR. Stratton is said to be in the
lead for the Bangor collectorship. num-
Der of other applicants are under considera-
erstion, and the Maine people may look out
for some news in regards to this office at an
early date. The president still delays action
in regard to the Augusta postoffice. No
doubt he would be pleased if the Maine dem
ocrats would dror Morton and take up some
other man, but there is not the slightest in
dcation that they will do this. If the Presi-
dent decides not to appoint Morton, the mat
ter promises to give him good deal of
trouble.

THE CLEVELAND STRIKE,

Men Undecided Whether to Resume
Work or Not.
CLEVELAND. July Is

CLEVELAND. July IS.
The strikers are being paid off today, and
as each got his money his number check was
taken in and he was dismissed. There was no
trouble, only mdtterings and whispered con-
sultations. The plate mill men have not yet
agreed whether they will 20 back to work or
not. Upon them depends the failure or sue
cess of the strike. If they go in the COM
pany will win if not the struggle will be re-
sumed. The strikers sent in Rev. Father
Kolaszewski, their priest to deny the ru
mors of their armed drilling. He says the
drilling is by the Catholic knights, and not
for the purpose of resisting or attacking the
police. The charges and countercharges
against the police for brutality in last
Wednesdays battle are being ventilated.
Some friends of the strikers assert that msnv
of the police were under the influence of
liquor. This is untrue, though there is no
doubt that heads were hit that contained no
thought of riot.

Face Eech Other.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 49,
About l25 people attended a hard glove
fight to finish, down river, this afternoon,
between Mervin Thompson of Clsveland and
Prof Hadley, (colored,) of St. PAul. Five
rounds were fought when the referee gave
the fight to Hadley on fouling by Thompson
after being warned by Referee Cardiff against
a repetition of fouling, which consisted of
clinching and throwing Hadey over his head.
Thompson's superior strength gave him the
advantage in the first three rounds when the
superior skill and hard hitting of Hadley be
gan to tell and Thompson showed signs of
being winded. In the last two rounds Thomp-
son stood up to hard punishment with no re-
sistance except IN foul wrestling, which de-
cided the fight against him. Thompson was
badly punished both in the face and on the
body.

men did not return from the tunnel of the
South Pennsylvania railroad the contractor
sent a man to ascertain the reason. When
he did not return, a second man was sent in,
and upon his non-return two more were sent
in. They did not come back, when the con-
tractor and posse went in and found all the
workmen and those who had been sent TO
their rescue prostrated from foul air and
smoke from the blasting. They were hur-
riedly carried TO the mouth, when two Ital-
ians were found dead, and several others are
not expected to live.
There were sixty men in the tunnel all of

men have made very narrow escapes before
from death by foul air, and frequently have
been obliged to crawl to the mouth on their
hands and knees.

GEN. GRANT.
The General on the Decine.-The Turn.
ing Point in his Rally Pa>sed.-A Quiet
Day.
Mr.. McGREGoR, july Is.


General Grant has had quiet afternoon.
He spent probably an hour altogether on the
porch, but rested in his room most OF the dsy.
The condition noted this morning did not
materially change this afternoon. The gem
eral Is quite weak and has only partly re-
covered ms spirits. There has been no un-
usual pain, and nothing to excite special un-
easiness among the family or upon his own
part, but the indications this morning that
the rally had reached its height and turned.
are confirmed in as mild form As could be
expected. Such conversation As the Gener-
al has indulged in to-day was bv writing, and
was brief, as he seemed inclined TO keep per-
fectly quiet He felt no inclination to do
any work in the way of composition. At
DR.. Shrady's suggestion, Mrs. Grant has sent
for copy of the "Autocrst of the Break
fast Table" hoping to interest the Generals
mind in it next week. When the General re-
tired, about O'Clock, DR.. Douglass, who is
again left alone with the patient, felt hope
full that he would rest as well as usual during
the night.
MT. MCGREGoR, July 10.
General Grant passed very quiet night
His pulse this morning was ~, and fuller and
stronger than yesterday. The benefits of a
fair nights rest have been supplemented to.
day by improved conditions made possible by
the cool, clear weather.
To-day the General sat upon the piazza
much of the time, His pulse during the day
showed no change. He read the papers and
altogether passed a restful and uneventful
day
General Grant retired at s o'clock. At
midnight the patients mental and physical
condition scenes to better than during the
morning and DIR. Douglass anticipated a
quiet night.
