CHICAGO, H., Jan, 27.-Western
tn0atohes charge that General Crook has
beea badly deceived by the Apache Indi-
ans now quartered in Alabama and Flori-
da, who recently told hin such tales Of
their suffering shd wanted that he recon-
mend 70 tAs Washington officials that the
redskins be removed to Fort Sill, Indian
Territory. The Western people are said
70 be AL worked up over the contemplated
transfer Of Geronimo and his handful Of
followers. General Crook said to-day:
81 certainly would not form a plan To
move the Apaches il there was any proba-
bility OF their turning like snakes upon the
Government The Apaches are broken in
spirit and humbled TO the dust. Geroni-
mo, once great warrior is "heap good in
1un." He IL teaching Sunday school
eiaas, and, ~ understand, has lost all
hatred Of the white people. These Indi
ans would only be too glad to accept this
removal - an opportunity to further their
civilization and better their condition.
"But the people of Arizona bitterly de-
nounce your scouts, especially Chatto, as
traitors, and claim that they prolonged the
suplugation OF the Indians by revealing all
your plans Of action
THAT 10 false. Those stories are being
circulated for purpose. On the contrary,
II 1t had not been for Chatto and other In
dian scouts the Indians would never have
been induced TO go to Florida. Lieutenant
Gale Wood and Indian scouts met Geron-
imo and his chiefs and induced them to
toin their families whom the Government
had sent 70 Fort Pickens, South Carolina.
Ihen the Indians were trundled OF TO Ala

anything with the white scouts While he

After all Chatto and his companions had
done for the Government they were forced
70 take up quarters with the hostile. in Al

place for the Apaches, and III wager any

TO give TO that coinage the debtpaying

with proper restrictions to protect the

came from every side. The Republicans
remained quiet as body although several
of their members were engaged in hurting
back defiance at the Democrats.
During all the turmoil Reed stood look
ing upon the wild scene with guizzical
look upon his face. When allowed to go
on he made his explanation to the House.
He maintained tina. D. b. Hill, while lieu
tenant Governor Of New York, had made
similar ruling at which there was great
laughter on the Republican side. He also
claimed that visible presence of a quorum
was all that was necessary. The mem
bers did not vote to make quorum.
To this MIR. Crisp, of Georgia, replied
himself, on similar occasions, several ses-
sions since when the Republicans were in
q minority. When he quoted Reed from
the record showing that the gentleman
from Maine had then held that not only
the members should be visible but their
votes and Judgment were required by the
constitution, an outburst, such as has sell
dom been heard in the House chamber, oc-
CURED. The Democrats che cred and
yelled, while the s.lleries join ed the Re.
himself smiled broadly.
Mr.. Carlisle denied absolutely the right
OF the presiding officer of the House to
make the journal. Suppose the speaker
was right: then one man could pass bill
as well as l6O. The speaker was simply
the organ Of the House, not its master. He
lCarlBe) was not here TO deal in epithets
but he did say, If this ruling stood, it
worked complete revolution in tho
method Of transacting the business of the
House. The House should stand by tha
old rule and allow no legislation unless
participated in by majority of all the
members elect.
MIR. Mckinley took the floor but yielded
to motion to adjourn, which was carried
without division.

the morning, rabble of about six hun
dred natives, most of them soldiers, who
were on their way to Cawnpoor, were
turned aside to attack us. Each one had
gun and plenty of ammunition, and
for three hours they kept up a credit
able fire. They could see nothing to
shoot at, but fired into the thicket, and
at least five hundred bullets hit the
walls of our fortress. We did not fire
in reply, as it would only have betrayed
out position. At noon, when their fire
began to slacken. we made ready for
charge. There were two spare guns,
all were loaded. Then, while waiting,
Wilds piled up a couple of hundred
stones about the size of his fist from the
plentiful supply once used in the rubble
work of the buildings. The thicket was
surrounded two lines deep, and at sig
nal a general advance was made. Had
we been without cover we would have
been killed or captured. When they saw
our fort the orders were to storm it. The
walls were so low that one could ''boost"
another up, and before we opened fire
there was living fringe all around us.
In one minute only the dead were
in sight. Wilds fired once, and then re-
sorted to the rocks, and honestly be-
lieve he disabled dozen men. Four OF
the killed fell into the inclosure, and
the bodies of two more were pushed out
side.
This ended the fighting. The rabble
went off, and for the next ten days not a
native came near us. At the end of that
time me got word that the British had
the upper hand again at Sultanpoor, and
we left our fort and returned there. Not
one of us was the worse off, and yet we
had done considerable toward reducing
the number of mutineers. One of the
natives wounded in the last fight told
me that the General who ordered the
charge against the fort told his men
that it was no use to longer bother US,
as all Americans were in league with
Satan, and that His Majesty would pre-
vent their bullets or swords from harm

EXECUTIONS IN CHINA.
Culprits Are Decapitated Without Mo-
ment's Warming.

Culprits Are Decapitated Without Mo-
ment's Warming.
The Soo-Chow correspondent of the
North China Herald reporting recently
the execution of eleven pirates in that
city refers to the manner in which exc
cutionS in China are fixed. In other
countries the criminal knows before
hand the day of his death, and has time
to prepare for his fate. But in China all
is different. Had the Hebrew prophets
lived in that country they would
certainly have chosen an execution
as the emblem of sudden destruction.
At Pelzin the vermillion pencil marks
the death warrant, which is immediate
ly handed to a courier, who instantly
mounts horse and rides off to his des-
tination. The posts supply fresh horses,
and he goes onward, sleeping and eat
ing in his saddle, never halting by day
or night, in sunshine or rain. After
riding seven hundred miles he reaches
Soo-Chow and delivers the warrant to
the Governor. Three messengers are
Immediately dispatched, one to the dis
trict magistrate who presides at the ex-
ecution, and who repairs at once to the
place, second to the camp for an es
cort and the third to the Jail. The vic
Tins are bound, dragged before the
image of the lord of hades, which is in
the prison, and pay their respects. They
are then placed in cages, carried on
coolies backs, and at rough trot the
cortege sets out for the execution ground.
The nerve and blade of one executioner
is never trusted in Soo-Chow to take off
more than three or four heads. If there
is greater number of criminals assist
ants are employed. There are generally
from fifty to one hundred executions per
annum in Soo-Chow, where all the Grim
inals of the province of Kiang-Soo, with
a population of 2, 1000, 600, are executed.
They are mostly pirates.

IN MALE ATTIRE.

Famous Women Who Have Dotted Petit
coats and COrsets.
The subject Of women donning male
attire in order to follow their lovers in
cognito to wars or other dangers has
been a favorite one with the poets from
the early ballad singers to Mrs. Brown
ing, in the ''Romaunt of the Page" and
the Swedish Tegner, and his beautiful
story of "Axel." But in modern times
women have less romantic reasons for
the change of costume. Like George
Sand they may do it in a spirit of ad-
venture; like Rosa Bonheur and our
own DIR. Mary Walker, because they find
it more comfortable, or like the hun
dreds of cases which are constantly be-
ing noted by the newspapers, because
they find that an apparent change OF
sex enables them to make a better liv-
ing. Rosa Bonheur wears trousers when
at work, but resumes her female at
tire in the evening. She not only
wears trousers, but full male
outfit including the French laborer's
blue smock and cap, when she goes to
fairs to make studies for her cattle or
wanders about the field unaccompanied.
The garb relieves her of the trouble of
bundling up skirts when she carries
painting implements, aud also conceals
her sex from the rough men whom she
is liable to meet. Louisa Lawton, the
sculptures, also finds it convenient to
wear trousers and coat when at work.

sumes black velvet suit of clothes, in
which she is conscious that she looks
very charming. Nine. Dieulafoy, the
French explorer and scientists, who has
done so much to increase our knowledge
of Persian archaeology, also looks much
more coquettish and winsome in the
costume she adopted while journeying
in strange lands than in the skirts
which she wears in Paris. Indeed, even
in Paris, her only return to feminine
costume is in the substitution of skirts
for trousers. The coat and vest, the
shirt, collars and cuffs are retained

THE GREAT MOSQUITO.

A Monster Whose Diminutive Descend.
ants Are Torment Yet.
One of the old legends of the Iroquois
related to monster whose diminutive
descendants are a torment yet-the
Great Mosquito. The story is very SIM
ply told in David Cusick's "History Of
the Six Nations" and is here quoted
verbatim:
about this time great musqueto in
vaded the fort Onondaga; the musqueto
was mischievous to the people, it flew
about the fort with long stinger, and
sucked the blood q number Of lives;
the warriors made several oppositoEs
to expeI the monster, but failed;
the country was invaded until lhe Hold
er Of the Heavens was pleased to visit
the people. while he was visiting the
King at the Fort Onoudaga. the mus
qucto made appearance as usual and
new ABOUT VHo foI., the IOldepof Heay-
ems attacked the monster, it flew so
rapidly that he could hardly keep in
sight of it, but after few days chase
the monster began to fail; he chased on
the borders of the great lakes towards
the sun-setting, and round the great
country; at last he overlook the mon
ster and killed it near the salt lake
Onondaga, and the blood became small
musquetoes."
In Clarks ''Onondaga," two monsters
stood on opposite banks of the Seneca
river, destroying the passing Indians.
HiaWatha soon killed one, but the other
was pursued until slain by Onondaga
Lake. He threw mp saud-hills in his
dying struggles, and the small mos
quitoes rose in clouds from his decaying
body. Another version differs from this
only in bringing all the Cayugas and
0nondaEas against the monsters, and
destroying Ohem alter neavy loss.
AS Mr.. Horatio Hale has we'll observed,
there has been confusion of Hi-a-wa-
tha with Ta-oun-ya-wat-ha, the Holder
of the Heavens, and the Onondagas GER
tainly now identify their deliverer with
the latter. Places connected with the
story are still pointed out. On the Tus-
caroas reservation is large stone where
the Holder of the Heavens rested
during the long pursuit. Two de-
pressions appear; one where his body
reclined, and another where he leaned
upon his elbow. Chief Abram Hill told
me he had seen the tracks of the pur-
suer and pursued. little south of SYRIA
cuse, where the Onondagas kept them
fresh not long since. He said those of
the monster were twenty inches long,
bird-like, and could be traced for twen-
ty rods.-W. NJ. Beauchamp, in Journal
of American Folk-Love.

Defending His Friend.

A horse and goat were lately grazing
together in a field in England. They
belonged to the same master and had
grown TO be fast and true friends to one
another. The Helj VAS open % tho

lot Of cruel, idle boys from the town
close by saw fit to a.nuse themselves by
throwing stones at the poor, little,
harmless goat, while some more cruel
than the rest tried to hit it with stick.
The horse they did not dare to at
tack; but although they left him
in peace, whenever he saw his
friend thus ill-treated, he LETT OH

coat flung him bodily over the hedge

AT HEART.

Where shall we roam, when ways are sere,
and gray
The sky looks down, and sounds OF revel are
AS breezy moans Epon a lonely moor;
When musics harmonies bring tears, and all
The faces of our friends grow cold with life
That, like ghost appears and vanishes?
Space holds no spot so gentle and so bright
That there we lose the chillness of the mock
That we shall never know our origin,
Nor whittier bound, nor grander lore than
yet
Heroes of intellect have fought to win,
By inches measuring the universe.
No region seen nor answer heard can bring
Peace and brave pride; but in the soul and
heart
Are powers for miracle and healing joy,
Are telescopes more subtle than for stars,
Are answers without words to all our love,
Though not sign for blasphemy or fears.
