used to be in the banking house of Green

the corner of La Sale and Randolph
streets. Mr.. ChristOph was a member OF

Seipp's House, and early in the afternoon

chided him. At this he flew into a passion
and behaved so violently that his wife re-
fused to go out In his company. He went

that any eStrangement will arise
between the three countries when
the question of the succession TO Prince

existed between Russian and Austria, al

The Capture of Geronimo Confirmed
Praises for Crook.
WASHINGTON, September THE fol
lowing telegram confirming press dispatch
es received at the War Department this
morning, from Gen. o. o. Howard:
FORT MASON, SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Z.
Adiutaat l.. $. Army, Washington, ID. e.:
Gen. Miles has returned to Fort Bowie
with Matches, the son of COchise, Geronimo
and his brother, with three other ApachcS,
all rs prisoners OF war: surrender uncOn-
ditional. Captain LawtOn is following with
the remainder of hOstileS, thirty-siX adults
and three children in al"
General satisfaction was expressed at the
War Department upon receipt of the news
of GerOnimO's surrender. Great praise is
bestowed upon General Miles for the ex-
cellcnt conduct of the campaign. General
Crooks work is not forgotten. 1t Is said
that the results of General Crook cam
paign were of great value to General Miles
and that the latter substantially fol-
lowed 1.-THE plan Outlined by his prcdCces-
sOr. With increased forces it has been pos
sible to guard every water hole, and etfec-
tually defeat any attempt of the hOstiles to
return to their reservation. General
Drum, acting Secretary Of War, said
that this was the end of the war
running with brief intermissons
through twenty-five years, and Gen.
Miles deserved credit for his vigorous
work. Capt. LawtOn had also distin-
guished himself as gallant officer and his
pursuit of the hOStileS under adverse con-
ditions and hardshipS was thoroughly
commendable. The Acting Secretary was
not prepared to say what disposition
would be made of the captives but Ger
tainly, he said, nothing would be done in
the matter until the Presidents wishes
are known. An officer of high rank in
clines to the belief that the President will
never consent TO surrender Gernimo to the
civil authorities, but will order his trial by
court-martial fit should be regarded as
proper to try him at all.
