Special to TIE DAILY ToMBsroNEl
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-The. Chronicles Washington special says It begins to look as though Geronimo had really protected himself against punishment by conditions on which he surrendered.

It was at first assumed that this would be circumvented by trying him by l military commission, but an examination of the statutes show that this form of trial is only authorized in time of war.

TalEk with a Tramp,

He was lying full length on the grass down on the lake font, in the blazing noonday sun, and everything about him encouraged the impression that he was tramp. His clothes were ragged and unkempt, and sam- ples of real estate from a dozen States were exhibited on different parts of his person. When reporter ap= preached, anticipating a frst=rate ro= nance from the perapatetic land agent, and took 2 seat on the grass g few feet away. Mr. Tramp just opened one eye, and, after gazing at his vis- itor awhile, sung out the old chestnut, "Say, young feller, ain't got any ter= bacco, have you?"
 The reporter passed over his pouch and the tramp took 2 very modest chew and gave the rest back.
 "Where did you come from?" asked the reporter.
 "Oh, been in the BIidewell for 2 month. Just got out. Afore that l come from Wisconsin. Been sorter layin' around for year or two"
 "Do you like tramping?"
 q course does. Think I'd do it ef I didn'tl It's easier than workin', ain't it7 I gets enough tp eat honest ly, and occasionally gets drink of whisky and some terbacco. That's all want. l kin always count o1 'em, and as for sleepin, it's pretty cold kind of night when l don't sneak into some snug place. When I'm in prison I gets warm meals and nice bed, and there ain't much diff ference atween that and being outz side, only has to hustle a little more when I'm out,'
 "Iow about your early life?"
 "Qh, that's your lay is it? Well, now, look here, young feller, if you thnk I'm going to ring in set tale of woe about being rich once, and having my home broken up By dFink and woman, ypq're disapp9inted: l ain't that kind of d tramn. l had hone that wasn't pleasant, because wouldn't work, and so l took to trampin', and I'ye been at it ever since. I ain't done no work to speak Of Tn seven years, and ain't goin' ta. don't like work, so I tramps. I'm much obliged for that 5erbacco, and aint soig' ter brao8 you for the price of d dram, but you cant brace me for any fairy tale, and l guess I'll finish my nap now."-Chicago Mail.
