the Samoan treaty, and for over three
hours It was under discussion.

They Threaten to CIean out Every
White settlement Near.

DENvER Feb. 5.-A Durango, Colo,
special says; Grave Tears are entertained
by the settlers Of san Juan county, ~ NJ,
over the demonstrations being made
10y the Navajo tribe OF Indians.
A courier to-day brought in word
that few days ago the Nayaiocs
drove the family of Joseph Sterrit oil OF
their ranch, and rnn oil ton head of
horses. Sheriff Kitcarson and posse
recovered the animals, when the Indians
threatened TO clean out every white set
tlement on the san Juan, La Plata and
Los Aninils rivers. There are now 800
warriors cnmped between tine la Plata
and the Oio Caiente, sixty piiles south
of DURANGO.
The trouble arises out OF the killing of
"A NavajOe Indian some weeks ago by "a
ranchman named John Cox. The lndi-
ans demand 500 or ten head of horses,
for the dead buck, and as II is refused
they threaten to murder every white on
the river. The Indians have sent their
sIuaws and young ones back on the res
ervaliOn, aud the citizens of Durango
and vicinity are very much alarmed.

A Big Sensation Created in Ex-

pany had been robbed Of $500

duly received two days ago. The bank
to-day notified Superintendent Full
Ter that he held "a receipt
for S35 90 IN currency, which had Just

grnphed the agent at Dallas, who re
piled that there was no trace OF the pack

THE TRUE OPTIMISM.
what an Editor Of the Sew York
Herald Thinks.

John G. Whittier is still young At
s2, Time has dealt with him gently,
and expanded rather than constrict ed
the warm and generous hopefulness
of nature hat has always been hospit-
able.
Two verses from his last poem are as
rich in moral impulse rs an eloquent
sermon, The first runs:--
No longer forward nor behind
| look In hope or fear,
But, grateful, take the good find
The best of Now and Here
This Is the optimism ofa we'll balanced
mind. The second verse, whic seems 10
indicate tho logical result Of the first,
runs thus:
And so tho shadows fall apart
And so the west winds play;
And all the windows OF my heart
open to the day.
Whittier, bending under the weight Of
four score years puts to shame the re-
pining aud whining which characterize
SO much OF our modern poetry.
