DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD.
An Army Surgeon Detailed to Looh
After the Health OF Camp Washington.


Gen. Ordway has decided to take short re-
spite from his extremely arduous labors that
he has had to assume in order to prepare for
the National guard encampment, and has taken
a trip to Berkeley Springs, Va, where he will
spend day or two. His requisition upon the
War department for the detail of couple Of
officers for duty during the encampment az
instructors, has been disapproved on the
ground that there is no authority now to send
instructors to militia camps. Inspectors are
detailed, but it 30 happens that there are no
officers available at present to be sent to Fort
Washington. But the Secretary has consented,
however, to detail Surgeon Gardiner Of the
third artillery, for duty as instructor for the
hospital and ambulance corps, also to look after
the general health Of the camp.

More Electric Light LITIGATION,

PIrrsBuRa, Pa, July 1s.-Westinghouse is
about to have another turn at litigation by
suing all the electric light companies of the
United States using the alternate current sys-
tenn for taking advantage of the benefits of
patent of which he is the sole owner by right
of an additional patent which was issued yester-
day. This invention is of the utmost import
ance to these companies, and if they lose the
suit the financial loss will not only involve hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, but the compa-
nies will also lose the advantage of the inven-
ton and be forced to use another system more
expensive and less practical.

GOSSIP FROM LONDON.
Taking Sheep from the Shah's Ranch
Warlike News from Servia.

LONDON, July ia week ago all London
was set to guessing by the removal Of the
sheep from the green park, but until to-day nc
one hit upon the reason for this action ON the
part OF the authorities, which is without pre-
cedent within the memory of man. 1t seems
that on the occasion of the shah's visit here
sixteen years ago he secured admittance to the
park for several evenings in succession and re.
NAMED in solitary meditation for an hour, the
public having been excluded. In the morning
after each OF these visits the park-keepers in
variaDiy found three of the sheep with their
throats cut. The police took it for granted that
this was done in accordance with some reli-
gious ideas Of the devout barbarian and nothing
was done about 1t at the time, but now the sheep
are carefully removed to avoid placing the
temptation in the shah's way.
BANQUET TO Mr.. GosCHEN
A banquet was given last evening at the
Hotel Metropole to Mr.. Goschen chancellor Of
the exchequer, by the National union of con-
servative associations. Most of the members
OF the government. about forty members of
parliament and over a hundred representatives
from all parts of the united kingdom were
present 1t was very brilliant affair.
UNEASY NEWS FROM THE BALKAN PENINSULA.
The news from the Balkan peninsula is any,
thing but reassuring. o. the heels of the re-
port that lot of Russian officers are inspect
ing the Servian fortresses comes the announce
ment from Pesth that the Austrian turreted
monitor Maros, under instructions from Vienna.
quietly left that city yesterday and steamed
down the river to Semlin, where her guns are
within easy reach of Belgrade, only miles
distant. 1t is given out that this movement of
the monitor is devoid Of any significance and
that the order for her departure for Semlin
was given month ago. This may be true.
but the proximity of an armored Auafriap war
vessel as formidable as the Maros to the
Servian capital at this critical juncture cannot
fail to have disquieting influence.
ESPIONAGE on RUSSIAN STUDENTS.
From Berlin, too, comes news which must be
regarded as significant. The authorities there
have begun a systematic espionage upon all
the Russian students residing in Berlin. The
police drop in upon them at their lodgings,
make thorough searches, and if nothing com.
promising is found retire without the slightest
attempt at explanation. In several cases the
result of the search was the arrest of the
students. and these were marched off to prison
without being informed as to the charges
against them

MITCHELL AND DONOVAN.
"A AReQuisition for Their Arrest from Gov,

NEW York, July ls.-Detective Norris ap-
peared at tho Tombs court this morning with .
requisition from Gov. Lowry Of Mississippi
calling for the arrest Of Charley Mitchell and
Mike Donovan, who looked after Kilrain in the
battle with Sullivan. Norris had no requisi-
tions for either Sullivan. Kilrain, or Muldoon,
and 1t looks as il he is merely acting out of re-
yenge. kilrAin and party while on their way 70
the battle ground were almost paralyzed with
fear when they discovered the presence OF De-
tective Norris on the train. Norris assured
them, however, that he had no intention of ar
resting kilrsin, but was on his way TO New Or
leans to arrest q burglar. The Kilrain party
doubted him, nevertheless, and il was not until
he produced the warrant that he was believed
The Joy OF the Kiirain party was great when
Norris thus reassured them. Mitchell, il is
said, then promised Norris to give him S250 IL
he would take the party safely through Missis-
sippi to New Orleans. The party arrived at
the latter place in safety, but Mitchell did not
make good his promise. Norris then called
upon the governor for re- equisition for Mitchell,
which was readily granted, and the governor
included Donovan. Norris arrived here this
morning. Detectives have been detailed 70
hunt up the men. Justice O'Reilly, before
whom the application for warrants was made,
said they were not necessary.

tain, if possible, from Governor Lowry, the
scope of the prosecution, and whether or not the
spectators would be proceeded against. but the
governor declined to be interviewed on the
subject in advance of the action Of the author

however, that he might have something to say

THE SIOUX COMMISSION.
Another Pow-wOw with the Indians
White Swan and Others Object.

CHEYENNE RIVER AGENCY, OAK, July 49,
The Indians assembled yesterday morning and
asked that certain portions Of the act of Con-
gress which are not clearly understood be read
again. These related to taking lands in severaIty
and the method of expending the permanent
fund. Gov. Foster explained carefully all these
provisions. White Swan addressed the commits
sion, complaining that the Poncas and Santees
would unjustly profit by the proposed sale OF
land He complained that Indians could not
take the lands in severalty and make living
on it, as crops were so frequently failure The
government in the past had invariably failed
and for that reason
HE WOULD REFUSE TO SIGN.
Crow Eagle, Little No Heart, Rattling Rib,
Spotted Fnd other chiefs representing the four
bands at the agency also spoke, all complain
ing of the non-fulfllment Of the former treaties
and carefully evading any discussion of the
present bill. Each concluded by stating he
would not sign.
GEN CROOK REMINDED THE INDIANS
that they have not been cheated in the Black
Hills purchase. 1t took two dollars to produce
every dollars worth Of ore taken out Of those
hills, and there was a great amount OF worth
less ground. By the present bill the Indians
were getting more than the land was worth.
The Indians, he stated, had actually received
much mere than was promised under the treaty
Of 1868. He warned the Indians that they
would certainly never get better offer than
the present Instead Of complaining of the
past they had better think of the future
While the opinions of the chiefs as expressed
would make the prospect appear rather dismal
are discouraged. There is certainly no weak
ening Of effort
