A Washington dispatch says:
General Miles arrived In this city last
night and is stopping at the Ebbltt
House. whittier his wife and children pre-
coded him yesterday. In an interview
with Post reporter General Miles said
that the surrender of Geronimo was an
absolute one, and. regarded in military
law. was the same thing as capture.
There were only two ways" he contin-
ued. 80 deal with thcm-either to punish
them as a people or to punish them as in
dividuals. If they had been given over
to the civil authorities they could not all
huve been concicted and punished indi-
vidually. and the civil authorities could
not punish the followers for the crimes
of the leaders. Every year or two these
Apaches produce a new crop of warriors,
and if Geronimo and one or two of his
principal associates had been tried and
hanged by the civil authorities the rest
of the band would have been left at home
in their old haunts and free to recon-
mence their plumber and bloOdshed at
the earliest opportunity. The hanging
of one or two leaders would have had no
terror to the rest. They would only have
been aroused to new atrocities by a thirst
for revenge.
AS it is, they have been finally disposed
of. They have been crippled for life, so
far as their power for harm is concerned.
There is no possibility of their making
any further outbreak and life and prop
erty in Arizona are no longer in danger.
These western territories have made great
progress in recent years, even with all the
hardships and sufferings inflicted on them
by the brutal Apaches, and they have now
a very bright prospect before them, es-
pecially in mining. There Is going to be
a prosperous era for mining in all those
states and territories from New Mexico
up to Oregon"
General Miles spoke in warm terms of
the courtesy shown him by Secretary La
mar and the governor of Sonora. He
said. in conclusion:
I'VE pursued those Apaches over 1000
miles of mountains and 800 miles into
old Mexico-one mountain after another
no level ground, no open country, but
constant climbing. often leaping from
rock TO rock. The Indians dropped their
baggage abandoned their horses and
mules. and even left their arms behind
them. They moved in tortuou= and dan
gerous ways, but never for q moment di3
my command give up the continuous pur-
suit. There are now no hostile or dan
gerous Apaches in New Mexico or Ari-
IONA"

F,uts Of Indian Sword Performers.

The favorite sword for performing
feats in India is tho gauntlet handled
pata. The swordsman will first show the
keenness of his weapon, and his com
mand of its weight, by cutting III two a
leaf laid fiat in the outstretched palm of
a friend, or by cutting a cloth hanging
loose in the air. lie put one sword on
each hand. and, so armed, sPrlnglng
from his feet on the bare ground, will
throw somqrsaults backward and for
ward, following each movement with a
wondruusly complicated and slmultane-
Gus gyration of both swords round his
head and body. He will have the naked
sword, more than five feet long, double
edged. sharp pointed, and keen as
razor dashed from the back of his neck
down his back, and will again, from his
naked feet, repeat the somersaults. Again
with sword and shield in his hands, he
will leap headforemost through the
stretched-out loop of a rope, held by
two men at the height of their heads us

Reducing the " eight.


That is the way they reduce their
weight" said a horseman at the state
fair the other day. A crowd had gather
ed about one of the stalls at the west end
of the horse tier. Within was a magniii-
cent, clearly built running mare feeding
at a crib and almost treading upon Il
negro boy, who lay stretched at full
length in the straw, on the floor, appGr-
emily in great agony. He's getting over
a drunk, said one" THAT man is hurt;
that horse has stepped on him. said an
other, benevolent old gentleman, who
attempted to open the door and save the
lad from further injury.
Stand back from that stall" said a
ever see a man train for running race
befOre?'
He went into the stall and asked the
boy what he wanted, water, he gasped.
The man laid beck the thick wooden
blankets with which the boy was covered.
About his body were heavy skin-tight
sweaters. The boy raised himself on his
elbow with difficulty, swallowed the lit
tie water allowed him, and sank back as
feeble as child.
He weighs 49," said the man in
charge" 'and he's got to train down to
10. It makes them weak while they are
sweating, but when they get out of the
woOlens and begin to eat they pick up
strength quickly"
The bullet headed colored rider said
afterward that he reduced his weight
from lis to 10S in twentyfour hours.

learn that about two-thirds Of the

ments are already secured. If the

have distinguished this church since
its organization in 1882 continues by
which it has kept clear of debt, our

up by customary ways Of church beg
ging when the work is completed. We

company to take steps In the United

strains the Northern Pacific from
ejecting the Wells, Fargo express
company from Its line. This action is
brought about by the decision which
was recently rendered in the United
States supreme conrt against the Pa.
cific express company in favor Of the
Texas Pacific, ruling that one common
carrier Is not q common carrier for
another common carrier. This deci-
sion has given universal satisfaction.

Northern pacific will be successful In
dissolving the injunction which gives
the Wells Fargo the right to operate

other ways. Many settlers supposed
that Sparks rulings were retroactive,
and as they changed previous rulings
great confusion followed. To meet
this difficulty Senator Van Wyck in
troduced a bill which provides:
Any entry of public land subject to

land laws of the United States In
conformity with the rules, regula-

partment at the time such entries
were made shall be adjudged In the

lions and decisions had not been made
or modified.
This bill has been favorably reported
In the Senate. and Senator Van Wyck
says 1t is sure to pass both houses.

tered we'll. In the northern part Of
Texas and the Panhandle, however,
this has not been the case, the latter
country having been burnt off to q
great extent. and this combined with
an unusually severe winter, has been
instrumental In causing very heavy
loss among stock. The large number
of horses which have been driven
from the country in the neighborhood
Of San Antonio during the past few
years has made this class Of stock very
much higher In price. Good saddle
horses now bring $40 head. and find
ready sale at that, which Is q very
great increase In the price at which
they were sold only few years ago.
