LAST STONE ON THE STATE-HOUSE.
Various Documents Putin It-A Small Fourth
of July elebration-Height of the Dome.

The ceremony of laying the last stone on the
walls of the new State-house was performed at
Q o'clock yesterday afternoon, and was gone
through with in manner creditable to all who
participated. The band from the Zoo Theater
furnished the patriotic music for the occasion,
and all the accessories were present to make the
ceremony what it should be. At o'clock the
march was taken up for the top of the
walls, which was accomplished by
climbing the winding stairs, about as
laborious piece of work as one would care to
undertake on a day as hot as was yesterday
Once at the top, the band began to discourse pa
triotic music after which numbers Of cannon
irecrackers were fred, which was the first init
nation that many of the citizens had of the fact
that there was anything unusual going on at the
house The flag, meanwhile, had been unfurled
from the top of an improyised mast that had
been attached to the top Of the derrick that
surmounts the dome, and then the order given
to hoist the last stone that was needed to
complete the stone-work of the walls of the
dome. This was appropriately draped in the
national colors. and bore the inscription of the
date. Inside this stone was a copper box, con-
tanning copies of all the papers published in the
city, the last report OF the Board of State-hou
COHAlSSlouorS d copper pidto having engraved
upon it the names of all the contractors and
bosses on the different branches of the work.
architects, etc. In addition to these there was
a complete list of the names of all persons en-
ployed in any capacity upon the building.
When the stone was laid three cheers were
given, and repeated cheers for different persons
connected with the work Everything was in
formal, but all was done in the best of STYLE and
there is no reason TO DO ashamed of the work in
any of its features. The firing OF crackers was
resumed, and several balloons were successfully
inflated and set adrift A splendid view may
be had from the summit of the dome
as it now is, which will be greatly i'm
proved when the work is completed.
There now remains only to put up the iron work,
which will be speedily done. The dome will then
be 235 feet high, over fifty feet higher than the
courthouse tower. The fact that the last stone
was laid practically on the Fourth Of July must
be accepted as kind of preliminary dedication
of the magnificent structure to patriotic pur-
poses. 1t was. suspicious omen. The cele-
bration was success in every respect, and was
accom- plshed without any one of the many, who
par Anticipated being injured.

GEN. MILES REPORT.
1t is Made the Subject of Discussion in
the Cabinet.

1t is Made the Subject of Discussion in
the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-The annual re-
port of Gen. Miles is still in the hands Of
the President and has been the subject OF q
brief conference to-day between himself and
Secretary Endicott. But it is understood
no line of action has yet been decided upon,
in regard to that portion relating to the
surrender of Geronimo. While the text of
the report is not yet accessible for publica-
ton it is known that in the respect OF that
matter General Miles does not explain him
self to the satisfaction of the authorities,
and that his granting OF the conditions
which are now understood to be more
in q subject of embarrassment and perplex-
ity, without saying so in empla tic terms. 1t
is gathered from Gen. Miles round about
expression OF the subject that an agree
ment was made that the lives OF the prison
ers should be spared and that they should
be removed at once from Arizona. In this
respect, it is said, Gen. Miles has gone con-
trary to the we'll understood wishes of his
superiors, which action amounts practi-
caIly to disobedience of orders. The only
reason suggested for this course in the alb
sense of any satisfactory statement on this
point from Gen. Miles is the fear that il he
did not secure the prisoners in this way
they would make terms with and surrender
themselves to the Mexicans. This would
have rendered the termination of this cam
paign apparently less creditable to the
Americans. In this state OF affairs there
seems to have been nothing which the au.
thorities can do for the punishment OF the
prisoners except to keep them permanently
as prisoners OF war. Even should the civil
authorities of Arizona demand them for
trial, with the most positive proof Of muir
the administration would be tied.
