Prospect Of War with the Cheyenne
Indians.

InO1a0s.
For some time past there has been cor
siderable alarm in Kansas over the disturi :
ed condition Of the Cheyenne Indians it
the Indian Territory. The governor ~.
Kansas called the attention 81 III
government to the matter and vigorous
measures have been taken to subdue tli
Indians and protect settlers. 4 lar.enuui-
her of troops have been concentrated ou
the border. Gen. Sheridan has left Wash
ington for Fort Reno, Indian territory.
The general desired to be ut the sceii.' ri hr
conflict. A telegram has been sent to the
officer in command which saws that the
outbreak must he suppressed even il the
Cheyennes are wiped ont oi existence. Zen.
Miles il expected to arrive i'm the Indian
Territory in "a few days. The hope is ex-
pressed that he may he able to quiet the
disturbance without bloo,l-hed. lie is well
known to the Indians, and is said to have
considerable influence over them. In Il
trouble with the Cheyennes some years ago
they surrendered to him voluntarily.
Gen. SchOtield notified Gen. Terry. to
hold in readiness to march mt an hours
notice seven companies OF troops, to be
sent to the scene Of the Indian troubles on
the border Of Southwestern Kansas and
the Indian Territory, IL it was considered
necessary.
The president addressed he following let
ter to Gen. Sheridan:
Executive Mansion, Washington, u. C.,
July 10, 1SS5.-Lieut. Gen. Phil II. Sher-
idan-Sir: In view of the possible disturb
ances that may occur among the Indians
now in the Indian Territory, and the con-
tcmplated concentration 81 troops in that
locality, deem II desirable that you pro-
coed at once to the location where trouble
IL apprehcntled and advise with and direct
those in command MS to the steps to l~
taken to prevent disorder and deprc,la-
tiOns by Indians. As to the disposi-
ton Of the troops, your acquaint.
ance with the history and the habits and
customs OF these Indians. leads me also to
request that you invite statements on their
part as to any real or fancied injury or in
justice toward them, or any other cause
that may have led to discomfort. and to
inform yourself generally Ms to their condi-
ton. You are justified in assuring them
that any cause 81 complaint will be fully
examined by the authorities here, and Il
wrongs exist they shall be rcmedied. l
think hardly need add that they must be
fully assured Of the determination on the
part of the government to enforce their
peaceful conduct, and by all the power it
has at hand to prevent and punish acts of
lawlessness and any outrages upon our set
tiers. Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Gen. Sheridan started for the West to

OeneFaI COMBINATIONS.
The increase in the value OF property
in the business section OF Boston dur
ing the past fifty years is shown in the
recent sale of the United States Court
House. at the corner OF fremont and
Temple place. The Masons purchased
the land in 1880 for $1,000, and in
1892 the Masonic Temple was COM
pleted, making total cost ofland and
building of $5O.OOO. In 1858 the Uni
ted States Government bought it for
SlO5.OOO, and in 1885 sold it for
S255, 900.

Recently workmen on the Northern
Pacific Railroad near South Prairie,
Washington Territory, came upon a
fir log eight feet in diameter fifty-six
feet below the surface Of the ground.
II was in a soft state, but after being
exposed to the air for short time be-
came nearly as hard as n stone. The
grain OF the fir-wOod remains plainly

lie taken for walnut. While the wood
was yet soft some made pipes OF it,
which after hardening became very
handsome.

Ancient Ruins IN Sonora.

Ancient ruins, which surpass any
thing of the kind yet discovered on
the American continent, have been
found in Sonora, about four miles
southeast of Magdalena, Mexico.
There is one pyramid which has base
OF 1850 feet. and rises to height of
75O feet. 1t has a winding roadway
from the bottom by an easy grade to
the top, wide enough for carriages to
rass over which is many miles in
length. On the sides Of this mountain
people of an unknown age have cut
hundreds upon hundreds of rooms,
from five by ten to sixteen or eighteen
feet square. The rooms are cut out of
solid stone, and SO even and true are
the walls, floor and ceiling, SO plumb
and level, as to defy variation. There
are no windows to the rooms, and but
one entrance, which Is always from the
top. The rooms are eight feet high
from floor to ceiling. On the walls are
numerous hieroglyhics and representa-
tions of human forms, with feet and
hands of human beings cut In the stone
in different places.

A Coming Comet.

Astronomers are now looking for a
brilliant comet that is expected to blaze
out in the southwestern heavens during
the latter part of July or early in Au-
gust, A great luminous streak visible
IN the heavens, resembling somewhat
the Milky Way, is asserted by astrono-
mers to he the path or orbit of great
comet, and that great streak of light is
the gaseous matter that follows in the
wake of a comet. 1t is impossible to
see it at present, as it travsls in the or
bic of the sun. whose brilliant light
during the day prevents the human eye
from gazing at iu. The detisction by
the latter part of July or August will,
however, bring it above the horizon
during the early evening hours, when
it will be plainly visible and when it
will be of the first magnitude.

A Magnetic IeiephOne.-Mr, L. II
Brown. of Fort Worth. Texas, has per.
fected q magnetic telephone and tele-
graph, which does away with batteries
of any kind. 1t was tested over thirty
eight miles OF wire recently, and prov
ed perfectly satisfactory to telegraph
men present. both as q telegraph and
telephone. The instrument used was
composed of two ounces Of wire and a
half pound of steel, and can be made
for twenty-five cents. The transmitter
is simply a horseshoe magnet, either
pole being covered with fine wire, coll
ed carefully. The armsture is a iIsk of
steel, against which the voice is thrown,
transmitted through the magnet to the
wire. The receiver is similar, with
smaller magnet. Ii is claimed by the
inventor that he can transmit the voice
around the world or across the Atlantic
ocean. there being no limit to distance,
all that Is necessary being the increase
IN size of magnet. The one used to-
day, weighing half pound. was capa-
BILE of transmitting the voice seventy
five miles. The cost of batteries is said
to be 100000 yearly, which would be
saved by the invention. In telegraph
ing the key instrument now in use
would be applied. The receiving oper-
ator would have disk attached to his
ear. hung by hook in cap or strapped
around his head. The noise now Incl
dent to telegraph Offices would be done
away with. No one could steal infOr-
nation transmitted to pool rooms, stock
exchanges. etc. The telegraph would
be absolutely secret. Themyentor says
further, the instrument could be carried
on all trains, and, in case of accidents
between stations, could be attached to
telegraph wire and notice given to
any station just where the accident oc-
CURED. its nature. etc, and this done
in few seconds. Re also says miner
or diver could take an instrument at

mine Or water, pay out wire and con-
verse with person at the other end.
