The Way in Which q Party OF Volunteer
Used Up the Indians.

SAN FRANCISCO, December "a. The
Chronicles Ell Paso, Texas, special says:
A band of Indians were surprised by a
body of volunteers while encamped near
the railroad track between Clifton and
Lordsburg. Eleven savages were killed and
thirty-three horses captured. The as
saulting party was mainly composed of
Mexican residents under the guidance OF
Big Jim, a colored deputy sheriff. The at
tack took place before daylight. The In
dams, though well armed, were ST. COM
pletely demoralized that they fed without
making any resistance, and are now scat
tered through the mountains.

view Of the fears entertained that all at

says: 1t is with regret that l feel called

The French Ministry on the
Eve of Resigning.
THE TONQUlN BILL
Passed by q Very Small Majority,
and the Ministers Want to
Retire.

PARIS, December 24.-The Chamber OF
Deputies has adopted q Tonquin credit by
a vote of 275 to go. 1t is rumored that
owing t O the closeness OF the vote the Cab
met has resigned.
Before the vote was taken General Cam
penon, Minister of War. spoke in opposi-
til n to the proposed evacuation OF Ton.
quin. He also advocated the formation OF
a colonial army. Clemenceau demanded
the revision OF the Tientsin treaty and re-
preached Ferry with imploring the support
of Bismarck. An uproar ensued, during
which Ferry, amid Kisses and cheers. made
a futile attempt to reply to Clemenceau.
The latter continued his speech. and APP
pealed to all Frenchmen to decide whether
it WIS not a paramount duty OF the o
eminent to tighten taxation. The opera,
items in Tonquin, he said, had prevented
reforms at home, and had en-
dangered the very existence of the repub-
lie. go.
Defreycinet. Minister of Foreign Affairs.
declared that it was impossible for france
to e~vacuate Tonquin. I'VE are masters IN
he continued, land the county
will be completely pacified by April. Inc
p~rotectorate over Tonquin will be equally
as successful as the protectorate over Tu.
The adoption of Tonquin credit will
have a wider bearing than the occupation
of Tonquin."

Love in the Legation.

Dom Piatt writes us follows t. the
Washington Critic: 1 was told a funny
story the other day about an attache OF
one of the foreign legations. who is very
much in love with a young lady. and she
is quite as badly smitten with him.
But as she cannot talk his language and he
knows very little English, they are heavily
handicapped in their co%urtship. 1t is said
that 'love knows all languages" and while
that is doubtless true it is difficult to con-
vey a sentiment by gestures alone. The
way they do it is to sit down together with
a pad of paper and a lexicon. He hunts
out the words he wants to use, and writes
them down in English; then she replies in
The same way. They have a lot Of fun, and
appear to be getting along pretty well.
She says that while she makes some funny
mistakes she never fails to ''catch on to
his meaning, and supposes her blunders are
quite as great. The other day he wrote on
the pad:. II have not the least desire to ar
rive at my home without to arrive with
BOTH" which she thinks means that he
does not intend to 60 back to his country
without her.

Sayed From the Mob,

SPRINGER, n. NJ. December 24.-Six
masked men rode into Springer late last
night. captured the county j~ailer, took the
keys from him, broke into the cells, took
out Theodore Baker, charged with murder
ing Frank Unruh, with whose wife Baker is
supposed to have been criminally con-
nected, and hung him to a telegraph pole
near the jail. The jailer, in the meantime,
escaped. and gave the alarm The citizens,
after a brief skirmish, drove off the mob
and cut Baker down just in time to save his
life. Springer is the place where the mob
attacked the officers OF the Jail last March,
in which fight four outlaws were killed.
Great indignation is expressed by the law
abiding citizens over the last outrage, as
they are e~ndeavoring to rid the country OF
the mob element, which has largely predom-
mated for several years past.
