Prisoners of War.

WASHINGTON, Got. 2l.-It is to-day
learned that the district attorney of
Arizona represented to the attOrney-gen
eral that sufficient evidence WAS obtain
able to convict Geronimo and his braves
Of murder before q civil tribunal, and
that, in view of that fact, Governor Zu-
lick Of Arizona had requested the presi-
dent to-day to cause the military officers
to surrender the hostiles TO the civil au-
thorities of the territory for trial. Not
withstanding this reque-t the action of
the president in ordering the confine-
ment of the Indians at Fort Pickens,
Florida, is accepted at the war depart
ment as conclusive evidence of the inten-
ton of the government to treat them as
prisoners of war, and not as ordinary
marauders, amenable to civil jurisdic-
ton.
Hon. @. Meyer Zalick, governor Of Ar
IL 0na, in his annual report to the secre-
tary of the interior, refers briefly to the
termination of the Apache troubles in
that territory and says: with the re-
moVsl of these renegades she welcomes
the dawn of a new era. Her native de-
velopment will HOW go on without cheek
or drawback" The Governor referring
to the san Carlos reservation, says: II
contains $3.50 square miles, or 252 600
acres of land well watered and well tim
any agricultural land in this territory.
Upon this tract are gathered together
the tribes of Yuma, Tonic and White
Mountain Apaches-about 300 sOuls-sO
that each Indian, male and female, young
and old, holds over 20 acres Of land.
These Indians, l am told, are nearly
self-supportiDg: 1t would be well
for congress to parcel out
the land, giving unto each head of a
family $40 acres, or If this is deemed
| premature, then congress should take
measures to reduce the reservation 10 at
least half of its present limits. The
! governor requests that con-
gress be asked TO demonstrate by o SCI
entific survey and practical test the feas-
Utility of artesian wells for giving the
needed supply of water, and
adds that around D5nver q
well irrigates from forty to fifty
acres; IL half as good result could be
| obtained in Arizona, we could produce
| wine, r6isins, fruits, nuts and olives
enough to support in sffiuence popula-
don of two million people. The gov
ernor, in conclusion, predicts that If the
Apaches were removed, the territory will
double in population and resources with
| in the next ten years.

A LITERARY CouP D'ETAT.

OF all the surprises to which the reading
public has been treated by Mr.. Alden's sur
prising Literary Revolution, perhaps the most
remarkable is the last. Two of the choicest
and most famous books in modern literature,
Washington Irving's The Sketch Book "
and "Knickerbocker's History of New York :"
are just published in style worthy of this most
widely celebrated and universally honoled of
American authors The two books together
form one of the nine volumes of his works
also just published The type is large; the
two volumes bound in one comprise 600 pages
the binding is half Morocco, marble edges.
The only other edition in the market that at
all compares with this or rivals it, is adver
tised by the publisher at $500 per volume.
Mr.. Alden's price when sold in sets OF nine
volumes, is a little less than SI.oo per volume
He now offers this single specimen volume,
until September 1, 1886, for the price (if it
can be called price, of 50 els. by mail post
age paid.
lfyou want to complete your set after you
have received this volume, you can, of course
do SO by paying the additional price for the
set. The object of this Coup D'Etat is of

"THE BACKLOG. "

In the issue of The Arkansaw Traveller
dated July 3Ist will appear the opening
chapters of new serial story by Opie p.
Read, entitled "The Backlog" This work
is novel to which the author has devoted
the spare time of several years and we think
that it will be pronounced by all readers the
strongest in plot and character, the most fin
ished in literary construction, and altogether
the most fascinating of any OF Mr.. Reads
stories. "The Backlog" characters are
drawn from life and the development of the
plot will show that the noted writer who says
that nothing new in plots can be conceived"
makes mistake. Subscriptions to the Trav-
eler taken at the COURIER office.
