THE NEW ORLEANS MINT.
Over One Million Dollars of Which Their
IL no Official Record.

New ORLEANS, July 2,
The morning papers contain a statement
that over one million dollars have been coined
at the New Orleans mint, of which their is
no official record. The coinage act of '73
made it the duty of the director of the mint
to have general supervision of all the Uuiled
States mint and assay offices. The first di-
rector of the mint acting under that law was
Henry X. Linderman, and IN his report on
the subject he gives the statistics Of coinage
in several mints, showing total amounts and
the denomination of money made at each
place for each year of thier existence. The
New Orleans mint was opened for business
in 1888. Subsequently money was made
there. The directors statement is brought
down to January.
Down to January 3lst, 1861, up to which
time there had been total coinage of S6l,-
l4S, ,740 in gold, and S29, 754 ,353 in silver,
making a grand total at the New Orleans
mint from its beginning in 1888, to January
81, 1861, in both silver and gold of S93,9l3,
093. The date at which the directors report
closed was the date on which the mint fell
fell into the hands of the con-
federates. The documents lately brought to
light, it is said, show that subsequent to the
mint going into the hands of the Louisianans
and confederates. and up to May 30 of that
year. there were coined S254 900 in gold
double eagles and l,l0l ,2l6.50 in silver half
dollars. thus making a total coinage of ST.,
355, ,2l6.50 while the mint was in the enemy's
hands What was done with this money
does not appear from any available records,
but the fact of the coinage as stated on the
coiner's books at the time, and in order to
make up the true amount of actual coinage
of the New Orleans mint this sum must be
taken into account There was no regular
coinage of the precious metals into confeder-
ate specie and under confederate auspices,
although the New Orleans mint remained in
their control until April 26, 1862, when the
city was taken by the federal forces.

CHICAGO'S STRIKE.
A Warning to Mayor Harrison - A
Movement to Compel the Company to
Run Its Cars-MOre Trouble Feared.
CHICAGO. July 9

CHICAGO July 2.
The West Division street railway company
at Chicago has made no attempt to run out
any of its cars since the serious encounter on
Madison street yesterday afternoon. The
officers of the company have had several con-
sultstions with the mayor and chief of police,
but without any apparent result
Mayor Harrison has declared his willing
ness to give the company police protection
provided it is prepared to put its cars in oper-
alton, but that he does not believe in keeping
the entire police force on duty to oversee the
running of two or three cars.
The newspapers are beginning to look at
the situation as one of serious import, and
the Times this morning intimates that the
hesitancv of "mushy' mayor in 1871, pro-
voked the serious riot of that year, and warns
Mayor Harrison that any hesitation in pre-
serving peace at this time may result in a
similar trouble. 1t is cited that various labor
organizations are enlisting for the active sup
port OF the strikers, and that recruits from
these organizations and lawless individuals
joined in the disorder of yesterday. The
News and Inter Ocean, while expressing SUI
preme dislike to the methods employed by
the street car company in the past toward the
public. enjoying as it does a complete monop-
oily of the passenger-carrying traffic in the
most p0pulOus district OF the city, say II
should be granted absolute protection for its
employees in moving its cars, and that fail
ure to afford such protection NAV result in
anarchy. The statement is made that the
governor may be called unfair to order out a
force of the National Guard troops. but dis
patch from the State capital declares that no
application for such an order has yet been
made.
The street car company officials declare
that they have an ample force of men to run
their cars when they are insured protec-
ton from assault. In the meantime
practically every carryall in the city has been
pressed into service for the accommodation
of theiWest Side travelling public, and beyond
the discomfort which naturally follows the
use of ordinary express wagons having plain
pine boards for seats, the public is not in any
way incOnvenenced
Several meetings Of citizens have beer
held to protest against the delay of the street
car company in resuming service. Lega
proceedings have been threatened to compel
forfeiture of the company's charter under a
provision which compels the company to rur
its cars daily.
Up to 2 80 p. NJ, the street car company
had made no effort to move the cars and the
situation remained unchanged.

WASHINGTON, july 2


The following appointments were made by
the President this afternoon Davis II In
graham of Maine, 10 be consul at Csdiz; JAS
Tenner Lee of Maryland, to be secretary OF
legation to Austro Hungary.
Assistant P. NJ. General Hay was attacked
day before yesterday by severe chill, and has
been confined to his room since the evening
of that day His absence from the depart
ment has revived the rumor that he has re-
signed. This, Mr.. Hay says, is not true
There is good reason for believing, however,
that under the advice of his physicians he
seriously thinks of resigning, and that he
probably will resign at very early date.
1t is understood that Mr.. Keilsy, recently
appointed minister to Austria, will not be
recalled. He will 60 to Vienna. and should
the Austrian government refuse to receive
him, it is intimated that the U. 5. govern.
ment will remain unrepresented at the Vienna
court. 1t is held that Kelley is capable
man, in every way fitted to fill the position to
which he has been assigned. 1t is also held
that the Austrian government has no ground
to complain of Kieley's appointment.
VIM. Calhoun. prominent accountant of
New York, who was selected by Secretary
Whitney to investigate the system of keeping
the books in the navy department. has made
a preliminary report and has recommended
an entire change of the system. He favors
the adoption of the system used in the Eng
lish navy department. Mr.. Calhoun says the
present system is defective in all of the
bureaus of the department.
The South American commission have
made their report on the result of their visit
to Chill. The commission reashed Valpar-
also May 5. The report says: Valparaiso
is almost an English colony. No goods are
imported from the United States except when
they cannot be obtained elsewhere, and then
it is found much cheaper to ship them to
Chill from New York via. Hamburg or Liv-
erpool. The Chiiian authorities did not re-
ceive tavorably proposition tor reciprocity
treaty between Chill and the United States.

TOSSED IN A BLANKET.
Soldiers at the National Encampment
Toss a Woman in Il Blanket.-An Al.
legged Assailant Arrested.

PHILADELPHIA, July =.
There was serious disturbance at the
National Encampment in Paramount Park
last night, which has resulted in one of the
visiting officers being held to bail for assault
with intent to kill.
Some of the Kentucky troops were anus
ing themselves by tossing one of their num-
Der in blanket, when a woman came along
and began making jocular remarks. and as
she seemed inclined to join in the fun she
was pitched in the blanket and well shaken
up. As they tossed her for nearly half an
hour and tore of nearly all her clothes, she
upon being released ran for the Park police.
When the police returned with her she was
unable to identify her assailants, but after q
while she picked out Capt. Curtis of the In
dianapolis Artillery, and declared that he
was one of her assailants. and Capt. Chestean
of the Park police proceeded to arrest him.
1t was undoubtedly a case of mistaken
identity and as the Park police insisted on
arresting him, Capt. Curtis. in his indigna-
ton, drew his sword. Militia men crowded
forward to prevent the arrest. and the police
called on citizens to help them, and for a
time the greatest confusion prevailed.
Finally Capt Curtis submitted to the author
ty of the police. He was taken to the guard
house and afterwards held in 5000 bail on a
charge of assault with intent to kill. The
affair has created great sensation among
the soldiers.

A DOUBLE PRACTICE.
A Prominent Society NJ. ID. Found to be
Connected With n Notorious Gang of
HighWaymen.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 2.
DR.. James p. Buck, who a year ago was
the lion of fashionable society, was yesterday
placed on trial in the criminal court Tor high
way robbery. For years gang had infested
the county, and the most daring robberies
were committed. The police were baffled.
They had received information several times
which cast suspicion on DR.. Buck, but they
believed the stories to be base fabrication to
injure the doctor. His standing in society
placed him above suspicion. He was consid-
cred wealthy. His villa at Braddock con
tained a valuable collection of works of the
old masters. and the grounds were the hand
soonest in the State. His practice was extern
sive among the people, and his arrest caused
great sensation. His accuser was Mr..
Alpent, prominent insurance agent. One
of the detectives employed by Alpent found
that for years Buck was connected with the
Gordon gang, which infested the neighbor-
hood, and acted as a 'roper in for them.
From the proceeds of the robberies he was
enabled to live high and let the impression
go out that he was rich. Gordon, Geary and
Crusan, who were members of the gang.
pleaded guilty and have been convicted on
other charges of robbery. They were SEN
fenced to the penitentiary-Gordon for 80
years, Gesry for 20 years and Crusan for 90
years. DR.. Bucks trial will occupy several
days.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
How Party of Indians Were Dispersed
While in Camp.

SAN FRANCIsCO, July 2.
A special from Tombstone, Arizona, says
VIM Penn Howland arrived last night
from San Bernardina Rancho. He gives the
following account of fight previously re-
ported between the Whites and Indians at
Oporto:
Capt Crawford, with the main body OF
troops and scouts, went directly to the Tor
res mountains, while Lieut.. Davis command
passed around the east side of the mountains,
flanking the Indians and surprising them
while in camp. The camp consisted of II
bucks and IA women and children.
In the attack two of the bucks were killed
and one wounded. The women and children
and wounded buck were made prisoners, but
the rest of the Indians escaped into the
overtake them.
Lieut.. Davis sent Lieut. Hanna, with a de-
tail of six men, in charge of the prisoners,
and three mutinous scouts to San Berpardi;
no. At the same time he sent a courier to
Ft Bowie, asking Gen. Crook for reinforce
ments to meet Lieut.. Hanna at the rancho
and relieve him.
When Rowland left San Bernardino rancho
Yesterday. Lieut. Hanna had not arrived
there, although he had been on his way six
days.
Lieut.. McGrew. who had been despatched
to relieve Lieut.. Hanna, arrived at the rancho
Monday, and scouts have been sent out from
Lieut. McGrew's command to obtain news OF
Lieut.. Hanna. The belief exists that the
IA bucks, who made their escape after the
Oporto fight, seeing that the prisoners had
left the main command and were guarded by
only six men. have followed and ambushed
the party and rescued the prisoners.
