and drilled about helplessly for some
time. A portion Of her passen-
gers were landed by tugs and small
boats and returned by rail. Another
large xcursion-steamer, the Columbis,
was sent to her relief, and took on a
greater part Of the Long Branch's pas
sepgers and returned TO the city last

but on ascertaining that she was not
injured herself the Columbia went on,
leaving the sloop in sinking condition.

PORTLAND, Me-, June. 22.-The
Grand Army men began to arrive to-
day with rush. The city has fes-
tive appearance as far as the crowded
streets sra concerned, but the decora-
tons, while being in most cases taste
fully and appropriately arranged, are
not numerous. The decorated build
ings along the proposed line Of march
OF Tuesdays great parade are few and
further between than might have been
thought would be the case during so
important season Of festiyity. The
grand double arch in Congress Square,
which bears appropriate notices,
is really the most artistic exhibition
Of the decorative art in the city. There
are two other arches, one at the en-
trance to the encampment and the other
over Congress street in Market Square.
The public buildings are not decorated,
which causes considerable adverse COM
ment. There has been considerable
agitation during the past few days over
the liquor law. Prominent Prohibition
lists have been very active in seizing
liquor in order that intoxicants might
not be obtainable. A large quantity Of
liquor, shipped here from Boston prin-
cipally by boat, has been seized, and
committees Of temperance people are
exercising great vigilance to keep any
from being struggled in. A circular adj
dress, which was issued to the Grand
Army members a day or two ago by
representatives Of the Law-and-Order
League and the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, has caused some
grumbling among the visitors. A SIM
liar circular from the same source gave
notice of an intention to seize any
liquor consigned to members Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. A pro-
position made by the same committee,
that all cOnsignments to members of
the Grand Army be seized and taken
to police headquarters, and if, after
inspection by Commander-in-Chief
kouatz. they be found to contain any
liquor, that they shall not be forwarded
TO consignees, met with instant opposi-
ton. and the fact of such proposition
having been made has caused some
thing Of a rebellious spirit to
arise. and the visitors openly
declare their intention to resist
any such arbitrary action should it be
attempted. 1t is not denied that there
are quantities Of liquor now en- route
consigned to members Of the Grand
Army who are either now here or who
are to arrive, and prominent officers Of
the organization declare that they in
tend to take and keep possession Of
these consignments. The constant agi-
tatiOn of this subject recently by the
temperance leaders has caused it to take
a place of paramount interest on all
sides.

CINCINNATI, June 22.-Thomas
Knott, a stone-cutter, who lives at
Dayton, KY, when on the Middle
Newport and Cincinnati railway bridge,
late this afternoon, suddenly jumped
over and descended to the deep water
in the river, l05 feet below. He was
unhurt. and commenced at once to
swim for dear life. Some boatmen
picked him up and took him ashore.
He says he was not attempting suicide,
but jumped from sudden impulse.
He was perfectly sober, and was re-
turning from Cincinnati, where he had
sought in vain for work.

Path-Excitemont at Reno.
IBy telegraph to the Dlspatch.l
WASHINGTON, June 22.-1he War
department has received reports from
Fort Reno, |. T., dated Goth instant, to
the effect that great excitement prevails
at that place over threatened Indian
outbreak by Cheyennes. The Indians
known as the Southern Cheyennes are
making preparations to go on the war
path. a few days since troops were sent
to quiet local disturbance among these
same Indians. The War Department
officials are not informed as to the cause
of the threatened outbreak Saturday.
If these Indians 60 on the war-path,
there will be great difficulty in quoting
them. The Cheyennes are reported to
be as troublesome to deal with as are
the Apaches. The country, however,
in which the former live would be
more advantageous to the soldiers pur-
suing them than is the rough, rocky
country in which the latter are
being followed. News was re-
ceivcd at the War Department
late this afternoon to the effect that the
difficulty with the Cheyenne Indians is
becoming very serious. General Augur
has ordered four companies Of the Fifth
cavalry to go to the scene Of the dis
turbances. This makes ten companies
at Reno, and three additional cOmpa-
MES are held in readiness to go at a
moments notice. General Augur re-
commends the appointment of COM
mission to ascertain the cause Of dis
content.
General Pope has transmitted to the
War Department an account Of the
killing of Piute Indian named Joe by
two white men in Happy Valley, Ore
gon. In commenting upon the killing
General Pope again invites attention to
the white and Indian outrages which
are increasing in frequency in the
southern part Of Oregon. He said
the Pintes having no reservation, they
are willing to 60 over the country for
subsistence by hunting and fishing. The
state Of affairs now existing is certain
to grow worse and must finally culmi-
nate in open hostilities unless a reser-
walton is assigned to these Indians and
they are all placed upon it. The Com
missioner Of Indian Affairs has directed
an agent to investigate the circum-
stances and report measures looking to
the protection of these Indians.

He believed that many Irish officials
were in favor Of decentralization. and
many agreed that it was necessary
to abolish Dublin Castle. He thought
that Lord Salisbury's recent atti-
tude Sayored Of bluff and brag. and
was not likely to induce the Liberals
to enter into formal compact.

this visit the Secretary called again,
this time in the royal carriage, and had
a second talk with the Marquis of
Salisbury. The endeavors of her
Majesty to bring about an understand
ing between the Liberal and Conserva-
tive leaders that the former may con-
tinue in Office. or the latter take Office
and carry on the Government, are UNI
ce0sing.
Mr.. Vim. Conservative "whip" in
the House of Commons, has gone to
confer with Sir Stafford Northcote. The
persons in conference to-day with the
Marquis Of Salisbury were the Duke of
Richmond, Earl Of Cranbrook, and
Lord Jonn Manners.
LONDON, June 22.-RumOrS have
been floating about this afternoon that
Salisbury will take Office at once. This
rumor is now confirmed upon what is
believed to he good authority.
SALISBURY WILL ACCEPT.
LONDON, June 23.-As a result of
the Queens efforts the Marquis of Sails
bury has resolved to accept Mr.. Glad
stones promise to use his influence
with the Liberals to prevent factiouS
opposition. 1t is expected that Lord
