formation was received that these Indians,
numbering 1877, had crossed the international
boundary line and were located near for'

indicated they had been engaged In the hiel
rebellion. The application was made 10 the

made of these Indians and the Secretary says
he thinks Congressional action should De

THE PHoNoGRAPH.

Thomas A. Edison, in q contribution to
the North american Reuie,c for June, sub.
Stimulates fully the wonderful achievements
That have recently been accredited to his per-
fected photograph, and says it is no longer =
prediction, a toy or an experiment, but .
practical, perfected mechanism, now in every
day use, and being manufactured in large
quantity, aud which he believes is destined
to come into universal nse. That which is
desired to be perpetuated is spoken to the
p%honograph. The impression of these sound
waves is recorded on . wax cylinder, which
is removable. These wax tablets are re-
movable, can be sent my mail and are
adjustable instantly to other machines. At
any time, and as often as required, q minute
Or infinite years after, the exact language
and voice, precisely As it was spoken, can be
reproduced. All cylinder tablets and repro
ducers are made the same size, and on four
of these tablets eight inches long and five
inches in diameter, Edison says he can put
the whole of "Nicholas Nickleby" in phono-
SI0A1 AVIus 1AuSIS ~ . OouO3 VSCu OuliAC
operas, can be stored on these cylinders, and
the voice of Patti singing in England can be
heard again on this side the ocean, and by
future generations. In its infinite ainplifca-
ton which these points indicate, We have an
invention that is the peer of any genius has
discovered or science perfected, and which
will work . wonderful revolution in the
world. We have given heretofore more in
detail its capabilities, but confess to have
had some misgivings as to its achievements
until Edison, over his " signature, has de-
clared them to the world. 1t is now mechan-
ical'y complete and in daily use, giving
entire satisfaction, and IS fast Is they can be
manufactured the pbonograph will find their
way tito universal use.

A Circus Train Derai1ed.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 4.-[Special to
Tribune--Copyr1ght, 1883, by the California
Association Press.]--A circus train of fifteen
cars carrying $50 persons connected with the
Miller and Freeman circus over the New
York and New England railroad was wrecked
at the station Of East Long Meadow five
miles south Sunday morning. One of the
cars near the engine was thrown from the
track by a misplaced switch and three others
followed. The first loaded with gasoline
tanks, canvas and side show properties be-
came ignited. All was confusion in the cars
where the tent men were sleeping. The
flames shot up fifty feet and besides being
badly bruised six men were seriously and
three probably fatally burned. The cars
were precipitated: down a fifteen feet en-
bankment into a. swamp. The following is
the list o finjured: James Jackson (colored),
John Menguire, Harry Kearns, and E. Dor
ley. An eighteen foot boa constructor es-
capped from the burning car and secreted
itself in the adjoining swamps where it now
is. The loss to the proprietors of the circus
will reach several thousand dollars.

The suggestion of the Democratic Terri
torial Delegates At St. Louis for = resolution
against carpet bag appointments is entirely
correct. The last clause of their resolution
is not. 1t is q perversion of facts. The Re-
publicans oppose the Omnibus bill, which is
. measure of injustice to Dakota, and its
design simply to keep out all the Territories
or compel Dakota to be brought in as one
State. More than this the bill, if passed,
would leave all the Territories named in just
the position Montana now occupies-no
nearer Statehood than Montana now is. The
Omnibus bill is q delusion aud fraud, and it
is to be regretted that for mere partizan
buncombe such . paragraph should have
been tackled on to = righteous demand for
Home Rule.

Mr.. G. L. HENDERSON, of Mammoth Hot
Springs, writes the Herald that he was at
the Excelsior geyser May 25th and Goth, and
saw nine eruptions of the monstrous forces
Of that wonderful spouter. 1t threw q
column of water 40 feet in diameter At the
base to . height of 200 to 800 feet above the
level of the earth, continuing q couple of
minutes, but the eruption had q duration Of
% to 25 minutes, during which it threw
smaller columns and overlooked into Fire
Hole River, which raised four inches whore
1t had q width of 100 feet. As the Excelsior
eruptions are stated to have only continued
sixteen days in 1882, it is not probable it
would continue this year much longer than
the date at which Mr.. Henderson reports.

The White Cans RAMPANT.

CINCINNATI, June Am Evansville Ind)
special to the Commercial Gazette, says:
The White Caps of Spencer county have
made a new movement. They have written
and posted in several places a lengthy plocla-
nation defending their lawlessness on the
ground of the laxity of the officers in pun
ishing crime, and say that attention is spe-
cially directed against wife-beaters, ~loafers,
lewd women and men who visit their houses,
and boys under sixteen who run about at
night. The remarkable part of the mani
festo is q command that newspapers in the
county shall publish their proclamation un-
der penalty of chastisement of the editors
for disobedience. One of the papers has
complied aud there is much interest as to
the result in the case of the others.

CHICAGO, June Ia tremendous seDsa-
ton occurred in Judge Jamieson's Court
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. While
the docket was being called Mrs. Meckie L.
Rawson was impatiently waiting for the d.
vorce case of her husband, Banker Rawson,
to be called. Col. H. c. Whitney, her hus-
bands attorney, was sitting at a side table
writing, when the Court was suddenly start
led to hear a pistol shot, and Col. Whitney
at once disappeared under the table. The
shot was followed by four more in rapid
succession, and Mrs. Rawson was seen pur-
suing Whitney with q Smith & Wesson 49,
calibre revolver. Mrs. Rawson succeeded in
emptying her revolver at Whitney before
she could be captured. Two Of the bullets
hit the lawyer, n taking effect below the
groin and the other in the left leg. The
wound near the right groin will probably
prove fatal. Judge Jameson at once
ordered Mrs. Rawson's arrest and she was
Immediately taken to Jail.
When the officers arrived at the Jail with
their prisoner, Mrs. Rawson had every ap-
pearance Of being an insane woman; her
eyes were red and bloodshot and she COM
planned of being cold and faint. As soon as
the search had been completed she became
more composed. The Jail officers refused to
allow any reporters to see her.
It is understood that Mrs. Rawson has
been in a desperate state of mind since the
Appellate Court yesterday refused to grant
her solicitors fees and said, in passing upon
the merits of her pending divorce suit that
the testimony was overwhelmingly against
her. It is also understood that Mrs. Raw
son claims that Lawyer Whitney trumped
up all the testimony which went to show
that she had been guilty of infdelity to her
husband.

A Charge Against Fuller

WASHINGTON. June 1.-The Senate Com
mittee on Judiciary failed again this morn.
ing to reach q conclusion in regard to the
nomination of Fuller to be Chief Justice.
The most serious charges brought against
Fuller are those from Dunlevy of Chicago.
They allege that the clerk of the court and
Fuller were jury commissioners in 1881 and
that Fuller drew the jury before which a
case, in which he was himself heavily inter-
ested, was tried. The result according to
DR.. Dunlevy was q verdict for Fuller and
the consequent recovery of q large and val
liable tract of swamp land. The committee
has te%legraphed for q transcript of the record
and will await its receipt.

The n a Canal.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The Engineer Meas
publishes an article giving the actual status
of the Panama Canal. The only work any
where near completed is about eleven miles
of dredging on the Atlantic and about a mile
at the Pacific end. It is estimated that a
to be excavated, which, estimating on the
fastest time yet reached, will require at
least four years to finish. The total case
expended has been SIT, 100000, represented
by 1851 Isl, 600 security. The amount neces-
saryto be raised to complete the canal is
estimated at $3.50, 100000, represented by
$500, OOO.O 900 securities.

THE OREGON ELECTION.
1t Goes Republican by the Largest Majority
Since 1865. ,

PORTLAND, Ore, June 5.-Returns from
all parts of the State accessible by the tele-
graph indicate Herman (Republican) for
Congress has 1900 majority. His majority in
Multnomah County, which includes Port
land, is 1900. The Prohibition vote is very
slim. There are Republican gains in every
county in the State. The Democrats carry
only two counties in the western half of the
States. It is the largest Republican majority
since the close Of the war and is astonish ing
alike to Republicans and Democrats. A
still more surprising result is in the returns
for members of the legislature. There are 30
members in both Houses. Of these the Re
publicans will have about sixty-six, the
Democrats about twenty-four.

Sharidan,s Case.

WASHINGTON, June LA prominent
physician, in speaking of Gen. Sberidan's
case tonight, said that Matthew Arnold, his
father and his brother bad all died of heart
failure, the general trouble being the same
as that in Gen. .Sheridan's case. Matthew
Arnold, he said, had lived for twenty years
with this disease by being extremely careful
Of his diet and health, and IL was in this
period that he did his life work. His death
was finally caused by over-exertion which
brought on heart trouble and killed him.
Gen, Sheridan, he said, might live for years
with this trouble if he recovered from the
present attack, but it would be necessary
for him always to exercise great care and
subject himself constantly to a rigid dis
cipline.

CLEVELAND AND THURMAN.

The week has been occupied by the Dem
ocyatic representatives at St. Louis in select.
ing candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency and preparing : platform for the
coming campaign; or rather in selecting 4
Vice President and making . platform, for
Cleveland had selected himself, and there
remained only the %perfunctory act Of going
through the formalities. The ticket is
| Cleveland and Thurman. That 1t is q
strong combination is useless to deny.
Cleveland is in power, has cut loose from
the Mugwumps, flung overheard the pre-
lenses of Civil Service Reform and will use
all the national political machinery, with
10000 Office holders to manipulate it, to
continue himself in . position which four
years ago he only wanted for one term.
Thurman is doubtless the strongest nan that
could have been put on the ticket with him.
These facts we must face. The weakness
of the ticket lies in the issue on which
the party goes before the country. We have
not received the resolutions at this writing,
but the party is In 4 position where an open
declaration endorsing Cleveland's message
and the formulation of 1t in the Mills bill or
a "straddle" resolution, As Waterson we'll
named it, like that of 1884 had inevitably to
be adopted. In either event, despite all the
wrestling Of the committee; despite anything
that can be put in words to smooth or mod
ify it; despite all guises and subterfuges by
which it may be covered up, the Democratic
party, by putting Cleveland on its ticket BY
reclamation has endorsed his Tariff message
he enunciated therein. And on that rock it
will surely rend and sink. The kilograms
say the delegates from Oregon, who left
home in high hopes of party success, "were
struck with mild CONSERVATION on receip:
of the election news from that State. It
will be so everywhere from Oregon to Maine.
Aside from all the indictments that hang
over Cleveland's administration, resting the
question wholly upon the attitude of the
Democratic party on the question of protec-
ton to American industries, we believe with
any one of a half dozen tickets That may be
placed In the field by the Republican party
it will sweep every northern State with ma
~jorities like those of Oregon, which have not
been equalled since the close of the war.
Reduction or abolition Of Internal Revenue
taxes within our own country, and protec-
ton of our industries and labor against
Europe by . reasonable protective tariff are
principles that commend themselves every
where throughout the great productive re-
gions of our country; and although fine the
cries and sophistries of "free trade and
sailors rights" are sung by siren voices, the
voters Of the country will walk up TO the
ballot boxes in November as they did in
Oregon this week and bury them out Of
sight. This is the issue of this campaign.
It is one that will be driven home to the
consciousness of every intelligent voter Of
the land, and it is this, with Cleveland on
the ticket, that renders Republican success
assured. ""

A LATE paper on "Possible Presidents"
remarks that "for twenty four years the
State of New York has given its electoral
vote alternately to the two parties. :
Another notable fact attracts attention.
Since 1886 every Western candidate running
against an Eastern candidate for the Presi-
dency has been elected. Whenever a candi-
date living east of the Alleghenies was
elected it was against a candidate also from
the east. Every successful Republican can
didate has been from the West" 1t Is the
Republican turn to elect q President from
the West this year.
