The President to visit Richmond.

HE PROMISES TO MAKE A SPEECH AT THE vIR-
GINA STATE FAIR.
A dispatch from the Greenbrier White Sui
phur Springs to the New York Herald today
says: "The Virginia Agricultural Society held a
meeting here, at which Col. Robt. Beverly,
president of the society, announced that Presi-
dent Cleveland had consented to visit Rich
mond on the occasion Of the state fair, which
commences on the Dist of October and con-
tinues for four days. Col. Beverly had several
conversations with the President on the subject,
during one of which the latter asked what he
wanted him to do. Col. Beverly replied that he
wanted him 10 make speech. The President
asked If he could make a speech that would do
any good. Col. Beverly replied that if he made
as good speech as the one he heard him make
at Elmira it would do great deal of good. The
President then agreed to come to Richmond,
provided he was not prevented by public duties.
The matter was also laid before the cabinet by
Secretary Bayard, who writes Col. Beverly that
all the members have agreed to visit Richmond
with the President. The visit will take place
just two weeks before the state election, and it
Is expected it will be a diplomatic stroke OF pol
icy. politically and otherwise, to have Mr..
Cleveland make a speech at that time. A MEM
Der OF the society said it would be worth 5000
votes to the democrats on the day of election.

Reported Death of Chief Mana.
ANOTHER FAMOUS INDIAN DESPERATE SAID
TO HAVE BEEN KILLED.
Word comes from New Mexico that Mana or
Name, chief of the renegade Chiricahuas has
been killed. For nearly five years he has been
the leader of the marauding redskins who have
periodically swooped down from their hiding
places in the mountains across the Mexican
border and terrorized the people of southern
New Mexico and Arizona. Previously he
had heen the lieutenant of Victoria,
reckless daring and bioodthirstipess. Phys h1s
sically he was Il type after the ideal Indian
height and of commanding presence, noted for
his proves, good shot and a fine hOrseman,
he was both feared and admired by his rene
gade followers. Nanas raids were done out of
pure deviltry. Old Victorio went on the war
path because he had q grievance. The home
After the war the region was settled
by federal volunteers from California, the In
dams were crowded ont and frequent bioOdshed
resulted. The government then removed the
indians to reservation AT Ojo Caliente. Here
they lived until their removal to the san Carlos
agency in Eastern Arizona was ordered. Vic
torio made Il piteouS appeal to be permitted to
remain where his fathers were buried. The re-
giOn, however, was fast settling up, and the
newcomers declared that the Indians must go.
Besides, the reds frequently attacked ranches
and were continually thieving and running OFT
stock. Victorio and his tribe were compelled
to leave their old home, but shortly after, in
1878, they broke away. The two years
that followed were marked by frequent
outbreaks. Finally Fictoria's band was driven
into the mountains OF chihuahua by Mexican
and American troops cooperating. Here they
were surprised by all irregular band of Next
cans, and many were slaughtered, including
Victoria. Mana, even then the real leader Of
the tribe, escaped. He avowed that for every
one Of his tribe that had been massacred, ne
would kill five Mexicans and Americans. He
got together the scattered band, constantly re-
ceiving achievements from indictments who
lett the agencies, and has made repeated raids
over the Mexican border Hundreds OF people
have been killed by his band. Most Of his time
was spent in the mountains Of Chihuahua and
Sonora, the northern states Of Mexico, except
when actually on the warpath. 1t was Mana
