WhIte Men Masauerading as indians.

ToMBsToNE, A. t.. June ia party of United
States. troops, while scouting in the neighbor-
hood of Calabassas, a few days ago, suddenly
came upon two Americans and several Mexicans,
all sleeping in the brush. Near by government
horses were at pasture. All the men wore moe
casins and made trail very similar to that of
the Indians While it is pretty generally believed
these men are guilty of some of the depredations
charged against che Indians, there was no evil
denee to convict thom, aud, after examination,
they were set at liberty. The party were unable
to give any satisfactory account of themselves
An important change will soon be made in the
efficiency of the arms at present used by rhe cav
airy. The Indians have superior guns, with
longer ranges and surer aim than those of the
cavalry.

Bracing News for Democrats.

Washington Special to Philadelphia Press.

that the President emphatically told some South
ern and New York Democratic politicians Satur-
day that he was going to change his tactics.
"You think" said he, II am not removing Re-
publicans quick enough. do youl Well, wait,
and you will see. If don't turn out Republic
ans quick enough for you during the next six
months let me know" These gentlemen came
away from the White House almost hilarious
Their Democratic bosoms heaved with expect
ant joy. and later in the day they gave away a
good deal more of their conversation with the
chief magistrate and of his with them than Mr.
Cleveland suspects. There was one happy
party of Democrats in Washington that night,
aud many bottle of champagne was opened,
and many a toast was drunk to Cleveland and
his bride. The account of this little episode
came TO me direct and more of the particulars
could be given. 1t is significant in many partic-

Another Case in Which He Was Compelled to
Admit that Dudley Was Right.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Commissioner of PEN
sions Black to-day made another miserable 6asco
witness before the Senate committee inves-
tigating his charges against the management of
the Pension Office by Colonel Dudley. AS has
been the case in every instance of alleged irreg-
ularity presented to the committee by Black, he
acknowledges, finally, upon the close cross ex-
animation of Senator Harrison that Dudley's
action was justifable, and that there was good
ground for making the orders that were issued
The action of the Office on the application of
Dr. John H. Spurrier of Rushville Ind. occu-
pied the attention of the committee during
nearly all of the session. DR.. Spurrier's appli-
cation was made special" by Commissioner
Dudley, and because Black found on the letter
files of the Office letter from Will Cumback, a
prominent Republican of Indiana and an old per-
sonal friend, requesting that Spurrier's case
should be made special" as the applicant was
very worthy and needy. and because the
letter, in giving something of the applicants
good character and reputation, had stated that
Spurrier was chairman of the Republican central
committee of Rush county, ne tBlack) thought
or pretended to think, that the case was made
special" for political reasons But when Black
acknowledged to Senator Harrison that the case
merited the action taken, and that out of many
thousands Of cases made special" by Dudley, at
the request of Democrats as well as Republicans
he had only been able to find the few which he
had presented to the committee as in any way
bearing the appearance of political color, every
body in the committee room including the DEM
drove Black to acknowledge defeat and stand as
plain demagogue.

WASHINGTON, June 16-Surprise was ex-
pressed when it was announced by an afternoon
newspaper here to-day, that, should the Senate
fail to confirm the nomination of John Goode as
Solcitor-general, he will be appointed one of the
counsel on the part of the government in the
telephone case at Columbus. If Goodies nomin-
alton is not confirmed, and there is little hope
for it. he will be rejected on account of fraudu-
lent work in elections in Virginia That an ad-
ninistration should place a man In such a re-
sponsible position as counsel in the telephone
suit at Columbus, who was rejected for an Office
on charge of fraud and corruption, amazes every
one. 1t is past comprehension.
