THl APACHE CUTTHROATS.
Geronimo and His Band on their Way
to Fort Marion,
Florida.
THE CAPTURED APACHEs.


General Drum Fears They Will Escape--
Put Them on Ice or Salt Them Down.
WASHINGTON, September .. General
Drum Acting-Secretary OF War having been
! authorized by the President to use his dis
cre.ion in the treatment cf the captured
Apaches has Instructed General Miles to
remove Geronimo and band to some secure
place OF confinement, and while it is not
yet known where they have been taken, it
| is surmised that the captives have been re-
moved to ort Bliss, Texas, or some neigh
boring post. 1t was not deemed prudent
to allow the Indians to remain at Fort
Bowie as in the event OF escape it would be
| almost impossible to recapture them. De.
spite the announcement in the telegram
that GeroDimO's surrender was uncOndi-
tional the belief is growing at the War De-
partneit based on the Chiefs well-earned
REPUTATION AS srRATEG1sT
that he has made some conditions with his
| captors that will at least prevent his trial
in Arizona. In the absence of more def.
mite understanding on the subject at head
quarters, it is tolerably certain the In
dians will be held at some Texas fort
prisoners of war until the President returns
and expresses his wishes in the matter. It
is believed by officers competent to judge
that a civil trial OF the captives would be a
failure as no evidence OF legal weight could
be adduced
TO BRING THE MURDERS
that have been committed home to any of
he Indians. Little better results would
attend by trial by military commission
and it is felt that the only feasable solu-
tion OF the question OF the treatment OF the
Indians would be their removal to a reser-
walton (probably in Florida) where, from
surroundings, escape would be impossible.

RAILROAD COMBlNAC ZION.
An Important and Far-Reaching Kali
road Agreement.

An Important and Far-Reaching Kali
road Agreement
CHICAGO, September 10.-The Western
Railway managers, after three-days' ses-
sion, succeeded to-dayin reaching basis OF
compromise and organizing the West
EN- Freight Association. Two prominent
obstacles have been the refusal of the Chi
cago & Northwestern to poolits range-cattle
business, originating in Western Nebraska
and Wyoming and the demand OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific, that by reasons OF it's Lin
coin, Nebraska, extension, it should be
awarded a share OF the through business.
The first was settled by virtually con-
ceding to the Northwestern its point. This
was done by removing the western bound
ary line OF the range cattle pool as it torm-
erly existed running north and south
through Valentine, Brady Island and In
dianola, Nebraska to Laramie City and
Douglas. This gives the Northwestern con-
troll OF all the cattle shipped on it's line west
of Norfolk to Fort Fetterman, from which
it will exact local rates and not report
business to any pool.
As both the Union Pacific and Burling-
ton are building into that Territory. it
will not enjoy the monopoly longer than
the present season. The other bone OF
contention was amicably divided by giving
the Missouri Pacific 4 per ce:t t. in the pool
on tn. deh business, and awarding the
Omaha 2 per cent. The Kansas City, St.
Joe and Council Bluffs is awarded 6 per
cent of the gross earnings in the Council
Bluffs local pool. Otherwise the percent
ages remain unchanged.
A committee OF one from each road was
appointed to perfect the minor details OF
the pool and to report to the general meet
ing at IL a. m. tomorrow, to which time
an adjournment was taken. The pool,
which will endure five years, will 60 into
effect September Is with Gen. Fatthern as
Commissioner. This completes one OF the
most important and far reaching railroad
combinations ever made in the west.

Charleston will also furnish rations to des-

will flock in soon in hopes of living in idle
ness and that the cotton fields and truck
farms will be deserted. But this is not

taken to prevent loafers from taking ad-
vantage OF the distribution OF food by the

OF the band was prisoner of war at the
time OF his escape from the San Carlos
reservation. They had been placed there
by Gen. Crook and we're given the liberty
OF the reservation on condition of not
leaving it. They broke this promise and
used their privileges to escape in order

ment adjudsed by the law OF war for such

General Paine Challenges Lieut.. HEM
for Rough Sea Race.
New YORK, September 9.-General Paine
called on Lieutenant Hem yesterday morn.
ing. He proposed after the International
races to keep the "Mayfowcr" on commits
SION in Marbehead bay until there came
up q gale OF wind, then in this gale he pro-
posed to race the "Galatea" from Marble
head to Cape Cod. Lieutenant Hem was
somewhat taken back at this bold chal-
lenge and asked time to consider the mat
ter. The news OF General Paine's challenge
got abroad yesterday aud opinions is di-
vided in Yacht Club circles. In discussion
OF the prospect for to-day's race, it was the
general opinion that the race across the
Massachusetts bay in gale # wind,
would be a much better test OF the weather
ly qualities OF the American and English
champions than the race round Bermuda.
One yachtman said: 1.-The English papers
have been saying that the ''Galatea" is not
tie fastest boat in England, but all admit
she is unrivalled among racing yachts for
weatherly qualities. / dou't believe any
one believes that even the boastsd Trek
could sail with her ia gale. Now here is a
chance for a race OF the heroic XII nd worthy
OF two great maritime nations. l hope
Lieutenant Hem will accept the chal-
lenge.'

discuss. Russia could not make any en-
gagement with Alexander. In view, how
ever, of party struggle i'll Bulgaria and the
agitation of the public mind which the
proclamation has caused, Russian agents
in Bulgaria have been instructed to inform
the Bulgarian people that Russia is dis
posed to exert her influence to establish
party concord and restore quiet. Russia
will not withhold her support from any
legally constituted provisional government
guided by non-partisan interests and con-
Quoted for the general welfare. Russia is
willing to apply herself to the task Of re-
moving dissensions from the painful conse-
quences OF which Bulgaria has already sui
fered too much. Russia hopes that the
Bulgarian nation and her representatives
will be able to appreciate these counsels
and act accordingly"
