Latest Concerning the Geronimo Sur
render.
WASHINGTON, October 4th.-It is under
stood at the War Department that the Cow.
ernor of Arizona has already made an
official requisition upon the Governor of
Texas Tor Geronimo and his companions,
in order that they may be tried under the
civil laws for murder and other crimes
committed IN Arizona, but this cannot be
done. The Indians are not in charge of
the Governor of Texas, and the President
must protect them in accordance with the
promises made by General Miles. THERE'S
a conflict Of opinion as to the condition OF
the Indians at the time of the surrender.
Miles, in his report, shows that they were
never before IN such desperate straits. They
were worn out and nearly starved, sur
rounded by troops, and unable to continue
on the war-path more than o couple of
months. On the other hand, w%ell-informed |
army officers hold that the hostlles had re-
Gently replenished their supplies and am
munition and were as capable as ever of
continuing the depredations, and that it
| was much wiser to accept the terms of the |
hostiles than to run the risk of continued |
rapine and murder. If this latter case is
the true one, it cannot be offered in defense
of Miles action, for he reports All entirely
different condition of affairs. No official
information has been received at the Wal
Department from Lieutenant Gatewood,
the officer to whom Geronimo first sur
rendered, nor from Captain Lawton, who
was in command of the troops in pursuit of
the hostiles. A telegram from Captain
Lawton to q friend-that there were no
terms of Surrender-is not considered at
he War Department, because unofficial.
s~ugar-NIakins simpliied.
WASHINGTON, October 4th.- Last year
the Department of Agriculture began to ex-
pertinent in a small way at Ottawa, Kan
sas, with the diffusion sugar-making pro-
cess, as applied to sorghum cane. Instead
of crushing the cane, as in the sugar-cane
process, it was sawed off in minute slices
and the sucrose, or sugar-yielding sap ex-
tracted by streams of water. The results
obtained were SO encouraging that the field
of operations was removed to Fort Scott |
this year. and with a largely increased
plant, and experiments are now in progress |
on a scale OF some magnitude. To-day a
telegram was received from Prof. Wiley,
Chemist of the Department, who is in
charge of the works, announcing the COM
plete success of the experiments. The tel
| egram states that syrup has been obtained
from sorghum cane of a light color, good
flavor, and crystallizing well. There was a
complete extraction Of the sucrose in six
OF the cells of the battery. Commissioner
Collins is very much elated at the result of |
the experiments, and regards them as of
| great value from an economical point of
view. In the process now hadi the South,
there are lots (nearly 80 per cent. of sacchar-
inc matter retained in the cane, while the
| experiments at Fort Scott show an abso-
lutte extraction of all the sugar.

Dilatnry OHicials.
WASHINGTON, October4 h.-Some anxiety
is felt at the Department of Agriculture
over the failure of the State and local au-
thorities to fully cooperate with the De-
partment in its efforts 10 stamp out pleuro-
pneumonia. The fund at the disposal of
the departments for the suppression of con-
tagious disease among cattle was estimated |
to be 800, 600, and the heavy expenses of
the last few weeks have made serious in
roads On the appropriation. The quaran-
tine at Chicago is maintained at a daily
cost of $3.50. There seems to have been a

A sy.tem Condemned.
PiTTsBURG, October 4;h.-In the State
Supreme Court, which met here to-day,
Justice Gordon decided that the "store-or-
DER system, under the Act of June %, !
1881, was unconstitutional and void, mas.
much as by it persons are prevented from
making their own contracts. 1t is his
opinion hat the Act is au infringement
alike of the rights of employer and en-
ploye, and it is an insulting attempt to put
the laborer under legislative t~utelage,
which is not only degrading to his man
hood, but subservient TO his rights as a
citizen of the United States. The decision
caused a great deal of comment in labor
ClTCitS to-ldl- luOIlaS a. Armstrong, Oh
the LGb0r Tribune, advises every labor or
ganization in the State to make a deter
mined fight against the store-order system.

rubbish had been piled on the track, in a
curve. and had the Instructions not been
discovered by a flrmer, who tagged the
train. q disastrous wreck could not have
been prevented. There is no clue to the
perpetrators, but as it was in an old-time
train robbery district, it is suspected that
robbery was intended.
