A TRUE AMERICAN.
He Treats . Boycouter to . Lsttie | d. Pialn Talk

Pialn Talk.
 ltjs not alone in Tombstone that a fight is being made against the boycott. Among other papers, the San Jose (Cala.) Mercury has made bold stand against this un-American and tyrannical system. The following, from that journal, is part of an interview, between native-born citizen and foreign gentlemen, who had been six years in the country, and who was engaged in calling on people, advis- ing them to discharge their Chinese ser. wants or they would be boycotted:
 "Ah, and you want to dictate to me, 10 tell me what must do, to threaten me with your vengeance if fail to follow the provisions of the plan you have mapped out for governing my country? l want you to understand, sir, that I was born in America, and that for over fifty years have lived under the American flag and been protected by it. am American from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet, and my countrys in- terests are mine. For four years car. ried a musket, and there are scars on my body to show what have done to prove my love for the old flag, my veneration for the constitution and my respect for the laws You talk of boycotting mel You, with your six years residence, pre- tend to dictate to an American born? My dear sir. you compel the admission that 1 have musket yet, with twenty rounds of cartridges, and you force me to declare that If you, or any of your un- American, law-deriding friends, come around these premises to carry into effect what you intimate, will fill you so ful! of lead that cyclone would not have power enough to lift you from the ground. You will bear in mind, however, that am a more consistent anti Chinese man than you are. If my vote could do it, would | send the whole Chinese kit ard caboodle back to their native country; but neither | you, nor any other man, or set of men, shall tell me what l must do. You say you need work and can not get it, don't believe it. There is plenty of work for the industrious. If you would work your jaw less and your hands more, you would get along in the world without an, trouble. And if you would mind youl own business, and cease meddling witt the affairs of your betters, of those wht have deeper and more patriotic inter est in the country than you have, ths community would be improved. Why you confounded communist, if you got the Chinese out of the State by boycott ing, you you'd next try the boycott on thu native-born. believe you would, hon | estly.n

At the Boycotters' meeting, yesterday lingo Robinson again devoted the greater portion of his speech 10 violent abuse of the EPITAPH and of all con nected with it, using such language as cannot be reproduced in respectable journal, circulating in families. This demagogue asserts that the EPITAPH has abused him. We have asked what state he represented in Congress--we ask it again. We have said he IS not a candidate for office--he has said so him self If this is abuse, then we have abused him. The fact is, this shallow pated, ignorant shyster is endeavoring to pose as martyr and to gain political capital by making himself a hero with a few minimizing men, who cannot see through his shallow device. The EPI- TAPH reserves Its abuse for serious sub jects. It regards this ranting blathel skite with mingled pity and contempt pity that man of his age should make such an exhibition ot himself and con tempt for the conduct of man, pretend ing to responsibility, who seeks to obtain an office by pandering to the worst pas siens of the thoughtless crowd.

AN ANTI.EPITAPH TROUPE.
Estertaining Performance by the
 Company Last Night.

The Nash anti-EPITAPH troupe gave their usual weekly performance at Schief. felin Hall last night, to an audience of about hundred people, fully half of whom went out before the performance was over.
 The following was the programme: Song-"Eight Hundred Strong ...
 ......,............,. Mayor Thomas Recitaton-"The Bold Boycottcrs' $. C. Bagg Int-rlude--" Put Down Four Bits The Secretary Song and Dance That d-d
 ErITAPH.;. ..;...." lingo Robinson Breakdown and Chorus-"lm
 Baboon'' ......... ......Poor Old Riley Recitation-''They Say I'm an
 Ass. ...............,.....S (. Bagg Comic Song-"I Can Eat Hay
 So Can Burro' .... Mayor Thomas
 Mayor Thomas displayed his fine bar itone to good effect in the opening song.
 Several persons in the audience then wanted to exclude all but members of the League. Jingo Robinson objected He didn't want to talk to empty benches.
 Mir. Bagg's recitation was well re- ceived. He remarked that he was the only original anti -EpITAPH man on Allen street, and hoped that his services would be remembered this fall
 The Secretary's "Put Down Youl Four Bits," was not very popular with the audience. This piece has beer given so often of late that it begins tc pail on the hearers.
 The grert song of the evening, "Tha D-d EPITAPH,' was then given by Jingc Robinson. The chorus
 "l'm working man myself Although I've lots of pelf- "rm the friend of the honest son of toll was vigorously applauded, as was alst his elegant quick step dance between each verse and graceful arm action l: Taglioni.
 The breakdown "Im Baboon" wa hardly given in Reilly's best style. Ht ha. done better work on the stage ane seemed rather out of training. S. C. Bagg scored quite success il his recitation "They say Pm an ass" Al encore was demanded when he gave th' pathetic ballad: "Baggy is the laborer'. friend"
 Mayor Thomas comic song "l caI eat hay-so can buro" brought dewl the house and sent the audience hom in high good humor. An entire change of programme i announced for Saturday next when Jing' Robinson will give his great speciality "lll burn 'em up" composed expressl for him.

A Fighting Orator

An amusing scene took place in Harry Stephenson's saloon, last evening. Two gentlemen, past-the prime of life, were quietly slipping their toddies, when the everlasting Chinese question arose. A venerable citizen, who is well known for his ardent American principles-also his inteligence-remarked: "Well, sir, you told me the other day, in the presence of four other gentlemen, that you were op. posed to the principles of boycotting; but now, sir, you mount the rostrum and make d---d ass of yourself, and make liar of yourself also. The other party: "Why, by God, sir, d---n you, sir, am op. posed to it now--that is-why d-n you, sir, why dc you approach me thus in public place? think d-n you, sir, that thls is vile plot to assassinate me" Here the orator backed up against pile of beer kegs and elevated his large cane in fighting attitude, lustily roaring for assistance. At this junc,ure two promi- nent citizens approached the belligerent orator and tried to soothe his angers. Nothing but blood would, however, satis- fy the warrior. His wrath was aroused, and foaming at the mouth, he struck out right and left wildly with his huge cane. The prominent citizens seeing that there was blood in his eye retreated hastily from the premises, leaving the "orator" in possession of the field and master of the situation-and the beer kegs.

Demagogue Robinson, a few days ago, said that he was opposed to the boycott, and d,d not know that the League had adopted it.. This was said in the pres. ence of four gentlemen, who will make oath to it, He said he agreed with the principle that Americans had the right to do as they pleased under the law, and that he did not-believe in the principle of the boycott. This will be substanti. ated by affidavits.

The San Francisco Chronicle is solid on the Apache question. In a recent number that journal says: Geronimo we suppose, will be caught at last. He must have cost the United States about a million, more or less, thus far and he may cost lot more before we get him. But when we do, we hope the troops will hold him fast and surrender him for trial to the civil authorities This is fairly rich country, but it is no, rich enough to afford the luxury of hay. ing such highpriced fellows as Geronimo running around loose.

The Nicaragua Filisusters.

NEW YORK, April I7.-Gen. Delgado, commander of the alleged flibuster, City of Mexico, said yesterday that the seiz. of the steamer was entirely uncalled for |. He was not flibuster, and was simply going to Nicaragua to begin coloniza. tion scheme there. He accuses the American Consular agent at San Andreas of blackmailing him out of Ssoo on the plea of guaranteeing his safety and that of his ship.

The idea, prevalent abroad, that the marriage relation is very lightly regarded in this territory, occasionally finds some substantiaton in facts. A Tombstone husband-a miner-who has been mar. ried about a year, cooly informed his wife few days ago, that he intended to break up housekeeping, as he found it too expensive, adding: "What do you intend to do?" On the following day this remarkable specimen of manhood packed up his personal effects and de- parted for Sonora, leaving his wife de- pendent for subsistence on the kindness of neighbors.

Tombstone is in the throes of an anti Chinese agitation. The executive com. mittee of the association issued black list of prominent business men who em. ploy Chinese, and instructed all mem. bers of the association to boycott them The people are very indignant and are organizing to fight the boycotters with the same weapon. The result in Tomb stone will be as it has been in this city The Chinese will be entirely forgotten in the war that will follow between the citi- zens, which will eventually break up the organization.--Silver City Enterprise.

The Roycotted Bakery.

NEW YORK, April I7.-Public interest in the boycott of Mrs. Grays Hudson street bakery is on the increase. The shop at times IS literally run down with people anxious to encourage her in her resistance to the union. Some of her friends have been to see the District Attorney to ascertain if something can not be done to have the instigators of the boycott brought to punishment. Yester- day Mrs. Gray took Tn $7oo. Some one who signed himself "American" sent $50 to pay for goods to be distributed as she pleased. Legrande B. Connor sent S25 for bread to be sent to charitable institu- tfons. An old gentleman entered the bakery about 5 o'clock yesterday after noon and counted out $50, which he ex. pended for goods. So far the only effect of the boycott has been to treble Mrs. Gray's earnings and provide for free bread for the various charitable institu. tions of the city.
 The police arrested the placard bearers and handbill distributors yesterday, and the police justice fined them sl and costs each, and told them he would send them to BlackwelPs Island the next time. Mrs. Gray has been summoned before the Grand jury to-day, and that body will look into the question of conspiracy on the part of the boycotters.

THE REMOVAL QUESTION.

The senate to Take Final Action-The
Question of Open Executive Sessions-The
Indian Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Edmnnds
resolutions are likely to be brought to a
final vote in the Senate about the middle of
the present week. The pending question
is upon the Van Wyck amendment
to consider the nominations to which
the resolutions relate in open session.
1t is possible, however, that this
amendment may be withdrawn, that
course having been suggested by Senators
who are heartily in favor of the principle it
embodieS. but do not think it best to mix
the matter with the issues raised by the
resolutions, Or to dispose of it as party
question.
Should it be withdrawn the subject of
secret sessions will be brought up soon
after the EdmundS resolutions are disposed
Of Not less than dozen Senators are in
earnest accord with the movement to con-
slider nominations in open session, and as
many more are in favor Of some modifica-
ton of those rules which force them 50
often to keep their mouths closed when
subject is broac!ied which all mankind be.
sides may discuss freely.
The Indian Appropriation bill, which
was extensively discussed last week, is
likely to be passed to-day or Tuesday. The
Post-office Appropriation bill will then have
the right of way. and is expected to run
through the week. 1t is understood that
the consideration of the measure will be en-
Iivened by political debate concerning the
Postmaster Generals policy in regard to
last years appropriations for carrying the
ocean mails

GERONIMO SURRENDERS.

To Escape Mexican Vengeance Geronimo
Gives Himself Up-Lieutenant Maus and
Command Threatened With Annihilation
by Mexican Soldiers.
TOMBSTONE, AriZ., March GA soldier
stationed at Mud Spring under the COM
mand of Lieutenant Wheeler, arrived in
this city yesterday and reported the sur.
render of Geronimo to Lieutenant Maus.
The facts leading to the surrender are re-
ported TO be as follows: Saturday afternoon
about ten miles south of San BernardinO
the Apache camp was attacked by Mexican
forces and a hot skirmiSh ensued. During
the skirmiSh two Apaches were killed
and the forces of Geronimo completely
routed. Geronimo and his band fed in the
direction of Lieutenant Maus' camp for
safety and surrendered Internationally.
1he Mexican troops followed them across
the line into MauS' camp and demanded the
prisoners, claiming the fight occurred on
Mexican soil and the victory was theirs.
MauS refused to give the pris-
oners up which greatly incensed the
MeXicans, who threatened to take the
prisoners by force. General Crook was
hourly expected in the camp. but at last ac-
counts had failed to arrive. Two dispatches
from Maus have been received at Mud
Springs appealing for troops and assistance,
and the situation is critical in the extreme,
and the massacre of Lieutenant Maus and
his command may oceur at any moment
