ON THE BORDER.
The Alarm in Southern kansas.-The
Indians Longing for Nebraska, and
Still Leaving the Agency.-Cheyennes
Hiding their Arms.
KANSAS, CRY, Mo-, july II

KANSAS, CITY, Mo-, July Il.
No report has yet been received from new IS
paper correspondents who left here with
Gen. Sheridans party, Monday night last,
for Fort Reno. Ii is supposed that the party
is waterlogged at some point in the Territory.
the streams generally being much swollen.
DODGE CITY, Kan, july Il.
State Adjurant General A. b. Campbell re-
turned here last night from a few days
tour through Fort Clark, Comanche and
kingman counties, investigating the Indian
scare along the line. He found the people
much excited and many actually moving out
and leaving their homes. In all his trips he
has lenrned of no actual depredations CON-
mitted by the Indians, and has seen no one
who has seen a hostile Indian within the
State. He caused local military companies
TO be organized, which he supplied with
State arms under the direction OF Governor
Martin.
Col. Compton is now travelling along the
south line OF the State with four companies
Of cavalry en- route for Deep Hole at the
crossing where the Dodge and Fort Supply
trail crosses the Cimarron river, and who.
he says, will arrive there Saturday evening
With the protection at present existing along
the south border of the State, Col. Camp
bell is of the opinion that all the fears of the
settlers will be dispeled, and that q general
feeling of safety will soon prevail. Many
who have lett their homes are already re-
turning.
KANSAS. CRY, July l6.
The Journals Dodge City special says that
the Indians troubles are not thought TO be
settled yet, despite the report from Fort Reno
that the Indians are fast returning to the
agency. 1t is well known at the agency that
the bucks are leaving every day in squads
from ten to fifty, and that they are taking out
their best horses, arms and quantities of am
munition.
1t is significant fact that they all go into
the Texas Pan Handle and thence northward
to the Kansas line where several squads of
25 of so have been recently seen. One party
of 20 was going up heavily equipped and re-
turning with but few arms, evidently hav-
ing hidden their equipments in the sand
hills.
They claimed to be hunting stray sheep.
Sixteen Cheyennes stopped a wild horse
catcher in the Territory and took from him
30 wild ponies, Ii is believed that the Chey-
ennes will submit to being disarmed as soon
as they shall have all their best arms hidden,
but they evidently have an intention of GO
ing back to Nebraska and they will attempt
probably to cross Kansas nearly in the same
place they did seven years ago, but start
ing in further west. Cattle men here think
they may be waiting for a full moon, accord
ing to their custom on such expeditions. If.
however, they don't make a break 10 the
next five DAYS it is thought they will abandon
the attempt.

WASHINGTON FIRE.
J he Losses Amount to About 1900, ZOO
Being Covered by Insurance.

WASHINGTON, July Il.
Mr.. Walter Hutchins of the Post gives the
following estimates of the losses by the fire
of Thursday:
Post, including the loss on its building,
$50 900; Republican S25. 600; Critic $50,
600; Electric Light Co. $4,000; other loss
es $50, 900.
This loss is almost entirely covered by in
surance. The most serious loss TO the Post
is the burning of the United States mailing
list of the weekly edition.
Two OF the presses were saved in q dam
aged condition and the type of the Republi-
can can soon be placed in good order again.
There will be no interruption in the publica-
ton of any of the journals.
The fire originated in the work shops of the
U. 5. Electric Light Co.. which is large
two story annex on the northeast of the Post
building, having an entrance from d stree,
and another from Fou.t street. In the
electric light room there was one double hor-
izontal engine of 100 horse power and one
single engine OF l20 horse power, two hori-
zontal boilers of 60 horse power each and
one of 20 horse power, an upright boiler, be-
sides 81 dynamo engines.
Three workmen were in the room when
the fire occurred The main shaft of the
smaller engine rested on heavy wooden
beams, twenty feet above the ground floor,
immediately under the second floor. This
shaft carried a pulley about seven feet in di-
ameter, making l20 revolutions per minute
and connecting by greasy leather belt with
the dynamo engines.
The bearing of this main shaft, it is said.
became heated for want of oil and there the
fire originated according to the employees.
The fire like flash extended to the timbers
of the floor above and to the betting and in
almost an instant the room was enveloped in
flames and filled with smoke.
The men were taken by surprise so they
were helpless to extinguish the fire or pre-
vent its spreading. TIL y cleared out of the
building with all speed leaving their clothes
behind them. One of them however, had
the presence of mind and courage to exhaust
the steam in the boilers before he left the
room.

302 letters weighing over one ounce the
average was l.Sl ounces. The total number

with an average weight of 4 3 ounces to a

been sent under third class rates will mere
after be sent as first class matter, owing to
its greater security, with the result of making
good to the government the loss that must
result from increasing the weight limit of

MT, GREGoR. July II

MI. bkECoR, july IL.
Gen. Grant slept fully eight hours, Thurs
day night, and is doing Friday morning.
The subject of employment for the General s
mind is engaging the physicians. The en-
forced idleness of the past week is growing
irksome to the General and it is thought
some means of interesting him may prove
adv isabe.
The thermometer at the cottage has regis
tered more than so degrees during the dav,
but though the General has perspired more
than usual he has not been appreciaby weak
ened by the heat. The greater part of the
day was spent on the veranda The patient
retired at eight o'clock with indications point
ing to good night. The quiet enJoined upon
the General this week has benefited him
physically, but it is thought that he would be
happier and more contented with some occu-
patton for his mind, hence the interdict of
the physicians against mental labor has been
removed and the sick man has been told that
should he at any time desire to do any liter
airy work he may crafty himself in that re-
spect. 1t is not unlikely that the General
may prepare some magazine articles or do
some literary work i'll the way of reminisen-
Cies, which have not yet been incorporated

ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.
Parnell Makes a Motion in the House OF
Commons. Which is Negativcd Without
Division.

LONDON, July Il.
Parnell moved in the House Of Commons
this afternoon, that the government order a
special inquiry into the Msamtrasns murder
cases.
Parnell made long speech in support of
his motion. He dwelt on the mal-adminis
tration of the criminal law in Ireland. under
Earl Spencer, whereby innocent persons had
been in some eases condemned and executed,
and in other cases had been sentenced. either
to long or lifelong terms of penal servi-
tude. He m0ed, therefore. that in the opin-
ion of the Ho6se, il was the duty of the gov
ernment to institute a strict inquiry into the
evidence and sentences in the Msamtrasna
cases.
Crown Solicitor Bottoms course in these
cases. speaking of this case said:
Il believe that II ever 4 murderer deserved
TO be placed on trial and sentenced to death,
that man was Bolton"
| VIM. Joseph Corbett, home rule member
for Wicklow county. seconded the motion
made by Parnell and said he hoped the gov
ernment would take a lesson from their pre-
decessors, whom the Parnell vote deprive ed
of office"
Sir Michael Hicks Beach said that at pres
ent the government had nothing to say con
cerning the merits of the case and nothing
10 say IN uelense OF the late government. lie
was, however, authorized by the Earl of
Carnarvon. at present Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, to state that the present IRISH
Executive will make careful personal
inquiry into the subject submitted by Parnell
for investigation, but must add that the gov
| ernment felt themselves compelled to ask the
House to resist Parnell's motion, which was
dirogstory of Earl Spencer, member of
the late government
division
In the debate on Parnells motion. Sir
Vernon llarcourt rebuked Sir Michael Hicks
Beach for allowing Parnells charges against
the judges and Juries in Ireland to 90 undis-
puted. He warmly defended the late gov
ernment and said although SIR Michael Hicks
Beach had not discountenanced Parnell's
suggestions, he hoped the government would
not establish the principle that change of
the government meant an opening of the
prison doors. The cases in question had
been fully inquired into and Lord Carna-von
would do nothing more
Lord Randolph Churchill praised Parnelrs
calmness of demeanor aud argument with
which he introduced his motion. He de-
Tended Sir Michael Hicks Beach from Sir
Vernon Harcourts stlictures, and said the
present government would successfully gov
ern Ireland only by divesting themselves of
all the responsibility for all the acts OF the
late government. II there had been mis-
carriage of justice in regard to which he ex-
pressed no opinion, it would be brought to

formed by the city marshal that in the exc

Shops have been kept open by notorious
vioators of the law that have not been re-

let him know of any officer in the future neg
lgent of his duty, in which case they would
be dwelt With to the full extent Of his ability.

House Of Lords.

In the House of Lords. this evening, Lord
Ashburne presented the Irish land purchase
bill.
The bill provides for an advance of three
fourths of the purchase money at per cent.
interest for 40 years Where needed the
whole money will be advanced on conditions
which, while just and generous, will not ex-
pose the government to the risk of loss
1t Is therefore proposed in such cases to
return the deposit of one fifth of the purchase
money at moderate interest until the tenant
has repaid by installments an equal sum
also to utilize the Irish church surplus to
guarantee the state from ultimate loss but
only after forfeiture of the Is retained.
Replying to questions, Lord Ashburne said
the government proposed to limit the amount
of money to be advanced to 5 1000, 900 pounds
The chuch surplus is estimated at 0,O00
pounds.
The bill passed at first reading.

A Horrible Business in San Francisco

SAN FRANCIsco, July IL.
Another white girl baby has been found in
the possession of Chinese foster parents in a
loathsome den in Chinatown. The Mongo-
lians having the babe in charge said that the
child was two years old and had been named
Chuen Ho. 1t cost them originally 500 and
as it was sickly they had to pay physicians
over three times the purchase price. The
babe was given in charge of the secretary of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. This makes 26 white girls taken
from the Chinese to whom they have been
sold by inhuman parents or mercenarv mid
wives within the last year. The purpose of
the purchase is no secret among the wealthy

The strikers are Quiet But an Outbre a X
is Feared.

CLEVELAND, July II.
Last night was quiet in the iron ward. The
police authorities are confident that there
will not be another outbreak until the mills
are started up or the men paid off. The for
eign elements of the strike feel their defeat
keenlv and threats are made that they will
vet be masters of the situation.
The strikers still continue to drill They
have collected a quantity of firearms. chiefly
of old foreign make and have within three
dsvs purchased 400 rounds of ammunition
Tomorrow the Cleveland rolling mills will
nav the strikers off and the authorities are o.
the opinion that trouble will occur. Nothing
TODAY has occurred of a serious nature.
