ALog Jam Beohen.

FAIpyIRlp, ME., June -Considera-
BILE apprehension has been felt by, tho
lumber men Of Fairfield, -inlthe last few
days, that they would not get theirlogs
that came out OF the east branch OF the
Kennebec. The logs, when two miles be-
low Indian pond dam, began to form a jam
on the bend Of the river where lie bank
is sfrom fifty to one hundred feet high. It
was some time before anyone knew that
the logs were hung up, and the Jam, con-
tanning fourteen million logs, was formed.
A large amount OF powder was deposited
in the center OF the jam, and a full head
OF water, ten feet, was collected above, and
at the proper moment tho powder was ex-
ploied. Thejam with its fourteen mill
ion logs went out in body, crushing and
rumbliDg with noise which was heard n
long distance. The logs were piled twen-
ty feet high, and many Of them were stand
ing upright in the jam. From theplace
where the Jam formed To the forks the cur
rent Is at the rate Of sixteen miles an hour.

THE CHEYENNE OUTBREAK :
Becoming More sdrious-aistory Of Fotme
Outbreaks OF This Tribe.


Outbreaks OF This Tribe. =
WASHINGTON, June 22.-News was re-
ceiyed 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 disturbance in addition TO
the companies previously sent To Reno.
This makes ten companies ut Reno and
three additional companies are held in
readiness to go at a moments notice.
General Augur recommends the appoint
ment Of commission to ascertain tie
cause OF the discomfort. The country Is
level, and devoid OF trees. Owing
to its great extent 1t Is very easy for
fndians to keep out Of the WY Of troops.
It Is believed that the Indians are well
supplied with arms and ammunition.
They are said to be good fighters and fight
altogether on horseback.
The last trouble with the Cheyennes
occurred about nine years ago, and con-
tinued for more than q year. 1t was
caused by the Indians OF that tribe mas.
sacreing a portion of family moving
overland from Georgia. The massacre oc-
Cured in Kansas. Tho father, mother
and daughter were killed, and the four re-
naming children taken captives. The
daughter who was killed, before she was
captured took the life OF an Indian with
ak as he attempted to get into the wagon
in which the children were.
PrioTto this massacre the Cheyennes be-
came uniriendly towards the whites. A
number Of men disguised as Indians
had burned a bridge on the Kansas
Pacific railroad for the purpose oistopping
the train that they might plumber II. AZ
ter the destruction OF the bridge soldiers
were, sent to capture the men. An ota-

OF Lonc Wolf, the great Cheyenne
Chioi. When he was buried four hun
dred ponies were killed above his grave.
Though Lone Wolf himself did not partici-
pate in the outbreak which followed his
sons death, Il was thought that the shoot
ing Of the young Indian greatly influenced
the tribe to go on the war path. The mas.
sacre OF the Georgia family followed, and
the one years fighting began.

Russia SEEKING Pretexts to Renow tho Quar-
rel ON the Fsontier.
LONDON, June 22.-There is agrowing
fear in wellinformed circles that trouble is
looming up in Alghanistan. Russia is
continually picking up,little occurrences
here and there on the border of the dis.
puted territory and making them matters
Of complaint, seemingly for no otler pur-
pose than to enlarge her grievances and
keep them before the eyes Of Europe.
The Russian officials now come toward
with a strong protest against the fortifying
OF Herat and the massing OF troops by. the
Ameer on the frontier OF Turkestan, claim
ing that this display OF military gigor by
Aighanistan at tho present moment is un-
called for and has the appearance OF q di-
rect menace towards Russia. A mild
warning Is also conveyed to the Ameer
that he and his officers should exercise a
little judgment in regard TO their military
manGuvres, and should notify the temper
Of the Russian troops in the disputed ter
ritory too severely, IS did the Afghan
commander at Penjdeh recently.
This series lof chickering's on the part Of
Russia las created feeling that she is
endeavoring TO obtain a plausible excuse
for a quarrel with the Afghans, aud very.
few persons In London would be surprised
II Hussia should take Advantage Of the
present political deadlock in England to
make another move forward, at least as
far as Heras The inspired Russian organ,
Le Nond, Of Brussels, in an editorial to-day,
says that Russia Is ready to conclude the
parleyings on the Russo Afghan froEtier
question with the Tories on the basis
agreed to by the Gladstone Cabinet, and
Is even anxious for the Tories TO act
promptlyin the matter, so that she can
know quickly whether 1t is to be peace or
war. The article concludes as follows:
'Rnssia,has no fears that Lord Sails
bury's auti.Russian language in Parlia-
ment during the recent debates will en-
danger the situation, as q Russophobe on
opposition benches in Parliament is not
necessarily Russophobe when he be-
comes q minister.
On the other hand, the st. Petersburg
Norosti urges that the Russian Govern
ment take decisiye measures to check the
insolence Of the Aighans, and IL Is be-
livedin this utterauce to reflect exactly
the views Of the war party in Russia.

ceasing. Mr.. Winn, Conservative (Whip)

Marquis OF Salisbury, were the Duke of

Lord John Manners.

ADelegatinn From New Orleans to Plead
for Their Retention.
WAsnINdroS, D. O., June 22.-The
managers Of the New Orleans Exposition
have not given up hope Of retaining the
Governments exhibits awhile longer.
Representatives are on their way to
Washington to make an argument TO the
President, which 1t Is hoped win convince
him that there is no need Of aremoval
for some months to come, The time for
which the exhibits are loaned hasbeen
construed to expire with the present fiscal
year as the appropriation fer the neces.
sary expense Of transportation will not be
available after that time. The EXPOSE
ton managers' have conceived the idea
that the year should not be the fiscal one,
but should end with the calendar on De:
cember 81. Itisto make this point that
they propose TO ask a hearing.
Il Is not very likely that the Admins
tration will fall in with this view, how
ever eloquently II may be presented.
Orders for tho withdrawal Of all Govern
ment property have been given and rep
resentatiyes Of the various departments
are now packing up. The New Orleans
delegation, including Major E. A. Burke,
are expected here tomorrow.
