DISTINGUISHED GALLANTRY
Displayed by Our Cavalrymen in Fighting
Bad Indians.

The War Department Is in receipt of des-
patches from Col. Grierson under date of Los
Angeles, Cal, March 26, giving details of the
pursuit and capture of the five Indians who
killed Freghter Herbert near Fort Thomas on
the 2d instant. Two were killed and three cap
tured by Lieut.. Watson's command on Salt
River Col. Grerson speaks of this as one of
the most complete and successful affairs that
has occurred on the frontier in many years, and
that it reflects great credit on the officers and
men engaged. He recommends the prompt
award OF breyets and medals usual in cases of
distinguished galantry and says: "This great
success in conjunction with the prompt removal
of the disaffected element to Fort Union has
very probably prevented a serious outbreak and
San Carlos reservation" Watson's detach.

LIVELY LEGISLATION.
A Congressional Bill Enacted Into Law in
Three Days.

Three Days.
President Harrison yesterday signed the bill
which suspends for year the operations of the
law requiring steamboats, to carry life lines and
guns for projecting them This bill was re-
ported by Mr.. Frye from the Senate Committee
on Commerce Thursday and passed at once. 1t
was sent to the House, arrivin G there when that
body was sitting in Committee ofthe Whole. In
order to receive the bill, the committee rose,
the House was called to order, the message
read, the bill referred, and the House again
went into the Committee of the Whole The
bill was reported on Friday and passed yester-
day In the House, Senator Frye personally
followed it to the enrolling clerk, thence to the
Speaker of the House and to the President of
the Senate for their signatures, and carried it
to the White House, when President Harrison
gave it bis formal approval, thus making it a
law. The reason for this haste was that num-
Der of steamers were in port ready to sail, and
waiting only to learn whether or not they
should be compelled to purchase appliances
named in the original act.

READY FOR THE WORD.
Prospects of Successful Race Meeting at
Bennings This Week.


All necessary preparations have been made
for the inaugural meeting of the Washington
Jockey Club On Tuesday next Starter Lee is
expected to give the signal for the horses to go,
and it is hoped that it will be the initial day of
a successful career on the track.
Experienced horsemen wio have seen the
track and noted the thoroughness which char
acterzes everything pertaining to it have made
such complimentary remarks as should make
the management feel proud Of what they have
accomplished. That President Draney and his
coworkers, in the face of failure at Ivy City,
should have had the courage to renew the sport
is worthy of much commendation.
Owners of stables have responded quite liber-
ally, and it looks as though the Ivy City ac-
commodations will have to be brought into
requsiton. 1t will be no great Inconvenience
to use the Ivy City stables, as the walk over to
the Washington track is a comparatively short
one. The grand stand and pool lawn are now
finished and ready for occupancy.
The Baltimore and Potomac Road is making
platform sufficient to accommodate the crowds
expected, and from this platform a neat board
walk has been laid to the entrance of the
grounds. large tank is being erected just
back Of the stables which will be kept filled
with clear, spring water
Reports have gone out of some fast time
which has been made at the track. 1t is said
that one of the most noted horses covered a
mile in 1:43 without urging. 1t is certainly fair
| to assume that from the number of horses on
hand some good racing will be witnessed. 1t is
said that the Messrs. Dwyer have concluded tC
send number of their horses on to compete
! for the purses.
! Persons contemplating making visit to the
| meeting will be glad to note that the admission
! TO all parts of the course is put at dollar
! which is material reduction from the usua
| rate heretofore prevailing. This will no doub
! increase the attendance.
