Generals Crook and Miles.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. Is. Touching the
removal of Gen. Crook and his replace
ment by Gen. Miles, Gen. Sheridan says
in his report that it grew out Of the fact
that Gen. Crook seemed to be welded to
the policy OF operating almost exclusively
with Indian scouts, and as his experience
was of great weight his policy could not
well be changed without his removal to
another field. To relieve the department
OF embarrassment, Gen. Crook requested
to be relieved, and Gen. Miles was as
signed to the command.
Gen. Miles went to work with consider
able zeal. His troops followed up the
hostiles with vigorous energy; broke up
their camps by attack four or five times
and gave them no rest until they surren-
dered on Sept. 1, under circumstances
and conditions, however, hat should not,
IN my Judgment, permit their being
turned over to the civil authorities for
punishment, as was intended by the pres.
llent. On Sep. S they were started by
Gen. Miles to Fort Marion. Fla, without
authority, but at a later date stopped at
San Antonio till their final disposition
be decided upon. The report states
that The arrest of the Chiracahua Indians
and their removal to Florida had been or
dered by the president, Notwithstanding
the objections of Gen. Miles that it might
he charged that the government had taken
advantage of the Indians. and that such
action would necessitate Il war of cxtcr.
mination against the hostiles then in Old
Mexico.

The report notes a marked decrease in
the number of descrters from the arm
during the past year as compared with
preceding years. The percentage of de-
sertions in 1884 was l2.5. in 1888, Ill,
and during the past year S.3. On this
subject the lieutenant general says The
great decrease since 1884 is due I'M
doubtedly to the improvement of the ad.
ministration and to beneficial Legislation
which provides for the honorable retire
ment of enlisted men after long and faith
iul service. He suggests that a law be
passed permitting the marking of con
victed deserters with India ink, so that
they will be known when they present
themselves for rc-enlistment.
The report states that the army gen.
orally is in a very healthy and gratifying
condition and the discipline is excellent.
But few officers have been tried by court
martial during the year, and the opinion
is expressed that there has not been a
period within twenty-five years when so
little necessity has existed for the corrcc-
ton of those holding commissions. 1t Is
suggested that congress open the retired
list to the extent of embracing officers
now excluded from it for want OF vacan-
cies. Gen. Sheridan says: This would
give a certain degree of promotion, and
if VT could get regiments increased to
twelve companies as proposed by the
Henderson bill, and an increase of 5000
men, reported favorably by the senate
military committee last winter, a state of
efficiency and usefulness would be reached
which would enable us creditably to per-
form such service as the country might
demand.

Quoted, and the pharmaceutical arrange

CHICAGO, Nov. l3.-This afternoon
1000 strikers gathered about the dwelling
Of Armour employe who was attacked
yesterday while attempting to move his
household goods to another neighbor-
hood. This employc is a Knight of
Labor, but refused to go out with the
others. He again had his goods upon
wagons when set upon BY the mob. The
crowd was dispersed by a company of
militia, who left a squad of Pinkerton
men to protect the goods. The crowd
quickly organized and nearly overpowered
the Pinkerton guard, when another COM
pany arrived on the double quick. charged
through the crowd and arrested six men
and routed the others. No casualties.
Alta meeting of the strikers tonight a
dispatch was read by Mr., Barry from
Powdcrly ordering the strike off and the
men to return to work. The sentiment
of the meeting was equally divided, and
further action in the matter was postponed
until Monday.
1t appears that Barry has had the order
in his possession since Wednesday. He
claims to have delayed its promulgation
solely for the purpose OF satisfying him
self of its authenticity. The scene in the
meeting, when the order was read, was,
in many respects, an extraordinary one.
Barry had not finished the announcement
before the assemblage was in an uproar.
Men rose to their feet and shouted they
would not go back, that they would starvc
before they would surrender, and that
they would have eight hours or nothing.

thought the Louisville hotel was on fire,
and a great crowd gathered in time to see
a large cistern at Sixth and Main explode
and tear up the street. This was caused
by foul gas. There was much excite
ment. Two fire engines were demolished
by the explosion, and James Connolly,
engineer of No. l company, was killed
outright. The fire was under control by
8 O'Clock, but not before it had spread to
the stores of l.. l.. Warren, boots and

were but slightly damaged by the fire,

The unprecedented sale of Boschce's
German Syrup, within n few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and e%ffectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff
ferent principle from the usual prescrip-
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up n cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble. heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell of serious Illness. \ trial
