THE INDIAN TROUBLE.

A Washington special in the New
York Times, headed Crooks Bad
Policy" charges that the military
had two days notice of Geronimo's
intention TO break out, which, if
promptly acted upon, would have
prevented the raid. That paper says
that Gen. Crook appears to have
been mistaken about the possibility
of civilizing Geronimo and Chatto.
1t is limited that his representations
about the superior tilling of lands
held by these chiefs is not warranted.
Letters from Arizona state that it
has been well known about Fort
Apache for the last year, that when
these Indians should again break
out they would go to the Black
Range, where they are now, yet not
soul in that region were notified
until the savages were upon them.
Should the Indians escape into
Mexico and occupy their old haunts
in the Sierra Madre, many Indians
now in the vicinity of Apache and
San Carlos will join them, and the
entire business of hunting and civil
lizing these savages will have to be
done over. 1t is said the structures
in the Times are evidently written
from the old standpoint of oppos-
ton to a peace policy in Indian
affairs.
THE CHINESE MINISTER.
Mr.. John Russell Young, late
American Minister to China, goes
on to Washington to post his sue
cessor, Mr.. DENLY. After that bust
ness is despatched, Mr.. Young will
re-enter journalism on che Philadel-
phia Noacs. In letter he has said
he did not regret leaving China. The
United States Minister to Picking,
one of the most expensive of cities
for foreigner, is obliged to main
tain himself on an inadequate salary,
surrounded by Ministers of other
countries that regard China as a
firstclass mission. The salary of
$4,000 is reduced to about $1,000,
in consequence of legislation of one
year ago, which compelled the Min
lister to pay out of his own salary
certain expenses formerly charged
to the contingent fund.

At Bonham, Texas, q masked mob
of a hundred men got the keys of
the Jail at the point of the rifle, and
proceeded to the cell occupied by
Eli and Sam Dyer, charged with the
murder of Sheriff Ragsdale and
Deputy Sheriff Buchanan on the
18th ult. The prisoners were brought
out, carried few yards from the
Jail, and hanged to tree.
John Evans, a negro, was lynched
at Live Oak, Florida, for an assault
upon an aged white woman.
JOHN CIIINANIAN IN CANADA.
The Dominion Secretary of State
was to have introduced resolution
to provide for Chinese interpreter
at salary of $4,000. Parliament
was being flooded with appeals from
the people of British Columbia to
take up the question of Chinese
immigration Immediately. The $50
tax measure falls far short of the
restriction demanded by the Column
bans.

CENTRAL AMERICAN UNITY.
Ex-President Zaldivar of San Sal
vador says he is still sanguine of the
union of the five Central American
Republics brought about by pro-
jected railways and telegraphs i'm
proving the facilities for an inter-
change of ideas among these States,
but not by such means as Barrios
initiated.
LAND IN SCOTLAND.
The desperate condition of the
Scotch land market is shown by the
surprising number of Scotch estates
now offered for sale. One auc-
tioneer alone lately advertised to
sell Scotch estates valued at ST.
$4,000. Many Americans are in
the market, looking at Scotch pro-
perties.
