Condition of the Territory Pictured in
Gen. Miles Report.
LEAvENwORTH, Kas., Sept. 29.-Gen.
Miles, commander Of the military de-
partment of the Missouri, in his re-
port to the acknowledgement OF the
army, says that before the late trouble,
New Mexico was a pandemonium. the
haunt of outlaws with the Indians
crowded into bad camps; but the con-
troll of the military has stopped the is
suing Of 600 more rations than the
Indians needed, saved 100000 a
year to the government, and has
driven off the outlaws. The ter
ritory is a block in the pathway
OF civilization, and perpetuates bar
barism, costing hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars to maintain between
10000 and $4,000. 1t is capable of
supporting many millions of white
people, and ought to be opened to set
Element with land enough reserved to
the Indians to give each a farm. They
can be made self-sustaining. He urges
the carrying out absolutely of all
promises to the Indians. The report
concludes with the recommendation
that private soldiers be discharged
after five years service, with the rank
Of second lieutenant, provided they
pass rigid examination.

THE GRANT FUND.
It's Condition as Cleaned from Trust
worthy Sources.

Its Condition as Cleaned from Trust
worthy Sources.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Thereportst that
the semi annual interest on the $780,
900 Grant fund, due August 1, has not
been paid doubtless arise from the
following condition of affairs, the ex-
lstence of which is learned from the
most trustworthy sources:
When the fund was invested about $780,
QUO was used by the trustees to purchase
Ioo Wabash Pacific dividend bonds of
S1oOO par value each. These bonds were
purchased at a premium Of about Is per
cent. Gov. E. D. Morgan and subsequently
his estate guaranteed the principal and in
terest OF these bonds for ten years. The
executors OF the estate, desiring to progress
us settlement as rapidly as possible, re-
Gently offered to pay to the trustees Of the
tund both the principal and the interest up to
August /. The representatives of the estate
old not, OF course, insist upon paying the
principal, but offered to do SO. Negotia-
lions to this end developed the fact to the
trustees of the Grant fund that the Nor
gan guarantee which, by the way, is a clear
iy-drawn contract, is of the principal and
interest OF the bonds only, and does not in
Clude the S27 800 premium that was paid
Tor them. In consequence of this, the trustees
declined on August l to accept the interest
on the bonds, which was rendered them by
the Morgan estate, fearing, it is supposed,
that by accepting it they might prejudice
the position they have taken, which is that
the guarantee is for the entire $210, 900.
The interest was therefore in default but
not on account of the Morgan estate, but
through the action Of the trustees OF the
fund. Since the rumors relating to the mat
ter have become current, the trustees, or
some OF them, Oliver HOyt principally,
it is understood, have paid or advanced the
amount due August to the Grant family.
Nothing has developed yet to Indicate
how the differences between the trustees
and the Morgan contract will be adjust
ed gentleman cOnversant with the facts
said to-day that the position in which the
trustees were placed was a most peculiar
one, as was also the view which they took
OF the matter. "If, " he said, "they do not
avail themselves OF the Morgan guarantee
before the ten years expire, they will have
to carry the bonds until maturity, when
they can get no more than the face value or
principal, which George Morgan guaranteed,
and the fund will still be out the $27, 800
premium. In the meantime they would
have to take the chances of default, and
possibly of reorganization of the road. At
present most of the bonds included in the
trust are selling below par" Theremainder
OF the fund was, it is said, invested by George
Jones, but in what way could not be
armed

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Formal Answer to the Manifesto of Mana
ger Galloway, of Union Pacific.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 29.-The formal
answer of the Knights of Labor to
the recent manifesto of Manager Cal
laway, of the Union Pacific, has been
received at headquarters from Den
yer. 1t is q very lengthy document
signed by the executive committee OF
Union Pacific employees, Thomas
Neasham, chairman, the substance
being a criticism Of Callaway's letter,
and charging him with trying to mis-
lead the public; accusing him of max
ing mis-statements and championing
the cause of the Chinese; charging him
with knowing that both Beckwith and
Quinn and Dockaru, the former being
contracting agent and the latter
general superintendent of the coal de-
partment, were apprised of the griev-
ances that existed at Rock Springs,
and instead Of trying to redress the
same they added to them. The
Knights emphatically state that they
abhor the action taken by the out
ragged miners as much as anyone.
They inform the Union Pacific that it
can get all the white labor it requires
from citizens of this country. There
is no excuse for the retention of the
Chinese. eve are law-abiding citi-
zens," say they, "and we mean to re-
main so until our rights and liberties
are jeopardized. Then the first law OF
nature will guide u.s." They charge
Galloway with an abuse of confidence
in giving the recent private CORE
spondence to thepublic. They further
state that thew did not make any de.
mand, but simply sent in a request.
A petition asking the Union Pacific di-
rectors to remove the Chinesefrom the
company's employ is now being cir
culated in Omaha, and all along the
entire road, for signatures of citizens
as we'll as employees.

The Legality OF Betting.
ILondon Cor. New York Herald

London Cor New York Herald.l
The Claw Reports" of yesterday
gives the case of Bridger VS.. Savage in
the high court of appeal. The result
is TO make only an actual wager be-
tween two commission agents or be-
tween a commission agent and anoth-
er principal, voidable at the option of
the loser. Lord Justice Bowen re-
marks: "The original contract in bet
ting is not an illegal one, but merely
one which is void. If the person who
has betted pays his bet he valves the
benefit which the statute has given
him, and confers a good title to the
money in the person to whom he pays
it. Therefore, when the bet is paid
the transaction is completed, and
when paid to the agent it is a good
payment to his principal" The re-
suit of the case is to establish the po-
sition of betting agents, to give prin-
cipals and agents legal rights and LA
bilities toward each other, and to
make it clear that the result of the
statutory law is to discourage the
practice and pursuit of betting.

The TERRA Del Fuego Indians.
TCor. Chicago Inter Ocean. !

Cor. Chicago Inter ocean.
While the Patagonians have a noble
physique and great intelligence, the
Fuegans are but degree above the
seals that roost with them on the bar
rem rocks. More repulsive, degraded
creatures do not exist on the face OF
the earth, and it is said they do not pos
sess one single human instinct, except it
be IAN appetiteforrum. They livein ca
noes or dug outs, and subsist upon
fish and such animals as haunt the
water; and although the mercury sell
dom goes above 35 or 40 degrees,
they wear no clothing whatever except
robe or blanket of skin, which is
wrapped around their shoulders.
Whenever a vessel passes through the
Straits of Magellan it is always sur
rounded with canoes full of these ma
tives crying out for whisky and tobac-
co. Frequently steamers stop to al
low the passengers to get a sight at
them and trade for skins. Men, wom-
en- and children squat in the dug-outs
stark naked, and always willing to ex-
change the fur robes which are their
only protection for q few drinks of
whisky or g. plug of tobacco. Very lit
tie is known of them beyond the
knowledge obtained by navigators in
these waters, as the islands of TERRA
Del Fuego have never been explored.

On the night of the 25th William
Shiel, baggage master on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad at
Western Union Junction, was stabbed
three times during a family row, twice
in the back and once on the forehead.
Shiel went to his home in an intoxicat-
ed condition and proceeded to eject a
step-son named Dunn from the house.
He choked the boy, who in turn struck
him on the head with an iron pin.
Some unknown persons, supposed to
be either his wife or daughters, came
up from behind and stabbed Shlel with
pair of shears. The wounds in the
back are three inches deep, and the
cut on the forehead slight. He is not
fatally injured, and refuses to impll-
cate the offenders.

consul to the secretary OF
state. Minister Lowell, by direc-
ton of Secretary Frelinghuysen,
officially called the attention OF the
British authorities to the subject, and
requested that appropriate lnstruc-
tions be issued to the proper author
tiles with view to checking any ship
ment of Mormon recruits to the United
States. The Indian authorities to
whom Mr.. Lowell's communication
was referred stated that the harm
done by the MormOns had been
inappreciable, and that in the
opinion of the government no spe-
cial measures were at present
necessary, but that in case
of unlawful recruiting of men or wom-
en-, the provisions of the penal code
would be applied. The Mormons
made no converts in Calcutta. They
separated and visited other parts OF
India, and are reported to have con-
verified two or three persons, but final
ly became so much reduced in finances
that they were compelled to seek help
and one or more Of them left India in
g. state of restitution.
