GERONIMO'S BAND.
Horrible Atrocities Perpetrated on the Bodies
of the Phillips Family.

Tucson, A. IT,, May 30.-A Silver City special
says: ''The bodies of Colonel Phillipss family,
murdered by Apaches, have been brought in.
All are horribly mutilated The daughter had
been hung up alive by a meat hook stuck in the
back of her head. Mrs. Phillips's eyes had been
gouged out, her ears and breasts cut off, and the
body otherwise brutally mutilated. The citi-
zens are frantic that such outrages should be
perpetrated without check.
The residents of Socorro, N. NJ, are becoming
greatly alarmed for their outlying mining and
ranching districts. Money is being raised to
equip a company of cowboys to pursue Geroni-
mo. A train left Ell Paso last night for Las
Cruces, N. NJ, where it will pick up Major
Fountain and ninety men, who will 60 at once
to the relief of Lake Valley, which is threatened
by Apaches.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL.
How "Ofensive Partisanship" Is Understood
In the Postoffice Department.

How "Offensive Partisanship" Is Understood
in the Postoffice Department.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 30-Postmaster general
Villas shows his legal training in the conduct of
the affairs of his department When young
and struggling attorney before the police courts
of his home it was doubtless his custom to pump
members of the juries before whom he was
pleading to ascertain whether they had any
opinions He has adopted the same policy in
following the spirit of the remarkable civil
service ideas evolved by President Cleveland.
Offensive partianship" as understood at the
Postoffice Department, means the possession of
opinions Any federal official who believes that
the Republican party is better organization
than the Democratic party is an offensive parti-
san Every oficeholder who exercised the right
of casting his ballot for the Republican ticket
last fall is an offensive partisan under
the ruling of that wonderful statesman
William F. Villas. Offensive par.ianship is un-
known in the Democratic party, which accounts
for the fact that some of the meanest traducers
of men, provided they voted for Cleveland. are
considered the proper material out of which to
make postmasters and other federal officials in
place of those who simply voted according to
their con victions.
Of course the administration has perfect
right to appoint officials of his own political be-
lief If Mr.. Cleveland had not tried to propitiate
the mrgwumps by protesting an intention to
dismiss Republicans only for cause, no one
could have criticised his action in appointing
whomsoever he chose to select. But he tried to
make his New York ard Boston allies believe
that he was above party. AS consequence, his
administration is conducted upon ''the five-cent
plan," as disgusted Democratic congressman
summed it up yesterday.

THOSE ALLEGED FRAUDS.

The Democratic Plan for Getting Rid of Re-
publican Clerks.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON May 3O.-The new Democratic
officials, having been unable to find the enor
nous frauds which they promised last fall, give
out that the reason they are unable to do so is
because the civil-service law acts bar to
the discovery of fraud They assert that when
they get their noses onto trail of the big steals
which the previous officials are said to have
been interested in, Republican subordinate clerks
Immediately warn interested outsiders, and
thereby prevent thorough investigation. This
absurd yarn has been given currency lately, and
it will be looked upon as a forerunner of
attempt on the part of the Democratic officials
to get rid of number of Republican clerks
because of their inability to discover
frauds. The charge of offensive parti-
sanship as far as it applies to those
in departmental position, has about worn itself
out. But very few Republican clerks can be
dismissed even by the most liberal interpreta-
tion of that wonderful cause for removal in
vented by the President Now the charge of
warning outsiders of pending Investigations is
to be brought, to be used as a method of riddlng
the departments of men who are not wanted.
1t will be found that the larger number of men
who are dismissed under this charge will be of
the lowest grade of clerks, so that the rolls may
be filled with Democratic laborers and watch
men, at the highest pay possible to give those
men, who will afterwards be promoted or as
signed to clerical work. AS one of the new
officers, who has had some experience in manip-
ulating elections in the South, said to-day: 1T
will be q remarkably cold day if we cannot in
vent some means of getting our friends into
places in the departments without going through
the inquisition presided over by Dorman B.
Eaton"

NEW YORK NOTES.

Efforts of the Astors to Maintain German
Opera, Comedy and Tragedy.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, May 30.-The Astors have been
revealed as theatrical managers, or, at least, as
hackers of city theater management The
Thalia, historic as the Bowery Theater, belongs
to the Astor estate. It's glory as temple of
English drama departed long ago, and for the
past few years it has been devoted to German
opera, tragedy and comedy. An extensive and
costly company, capable of presenting those
three forms of entertainment creditably, has
been maintained, to the marvel of experts in the
business since it was clear that the audiences
did not yield enough money to meet
the costs This week Joe Emmet is
star there, and it is announced
that the house, taking back its old name, will
become theater for combinations at low prices.
1t is at the same time disclosed that the Astors,
chiefly through the whim of the present John
Jacob Astor, have literally helped the effort to
keep up irst-class German performances, and
therein lay the secret of the enterprises dura-
ton. Ths Astors have long been assigned a
forgetful mass of their German extraction, but it
seems that one of the two living heads of the
family respected it sufficiently to back the Tha
liza Theater as long as there remained any con-
siderable audiences. In the lease signed for next
season the clause reserving proscenium box
exclusively for the owners is stricken out

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-Prominent Demo
cratic leaders from all portions of
the country are gathering in Washing
ton. During the last two days there have been
many arrivals. The opinion prevails that be-
tween now and July l, the beginning of the fs-
cal year, a number Of appointments will be made
Democratic senator's and representatives, are coming
in every day. More of them can be seen about
the city now than at any time since the adjourn
ment of the special session of the Senate. Among
the Democratic senators here now are Messrs
Harris, Colqu:tt, Ransom, Vance and Voorhees,.
Senator German is only few miles away, and
is expected here next week. Republicans from
Indiana, Ohio, New York and vicinity,
and the South. are swarmirg in
on every train. The belief that
many changes will be made during the month is
common among Democrats. Colonel Williams
of Indiana, Third Auditor, is quoted as saying
that the four dismissals from his Office yesterday
are but the beginning of political massacre.
