their people. Theirs was life fraughk
with the utmost danger, too, for at any
moment in the course of their duties
they were liable to fall into the hands of
foemen as cunning as themselves, and
then nothing but instant death, fighting,
could save them from the slow death by
the fiendish fortunes which were described
in previous chapter.
'Wolf'' is the Indian sign for scout,
and prairie-wolf, or coyote, well fulfills
the idea. The yelp of the coyote is easily
initiated by the young braves, and serves
for night signaling when fire would only
betray their presence. The utmost care
is taken in choosing the scouts, and the
old chiefs rarely go amiss in their seleo-
tions. Capt. Philo Clark, who spent
years of his gallant and useful life in
studying their, characteristics, and who
commanded the finest body of Indian
scouts eXer seen on our frontiers, has
given an interesting account of the cere-
monies attendant on sending forth the
scouts, which 1 shall transcribe here:
'lf there is time,'' he says, "many
ceremonial forms are gone through with
in the selection and in giving instructions
to them prior to their departure. The
essential qualifications of a good scout
are courage, good sense, truthfulness,
and thorough knowledge of the coun-
try"
Suppose four are wanted; they are
chosen in council and then sent for, some
of the head men going for them and lead
ing them to. the council lodge, where,
after much solemn and prsyerful smok-
ing, perhaps some speeches about the i'm
portance of the occasion, dilating on the
benefits that will accrue to the entire
people in case of success, and the evils
and disasters that may befalI them
through defeat, the special instructions
of the service to be acquired as well as

rock or slate, crunohed from "a place, by
laboriug foot, had turned and SfSf,day
with the damp face upward. A single
hour in the sun would bleach it white
and dry as its neighbors. On we clam
bered, steadily, silently, sometimes
crossing a mountain ravine, some-
times over rocky lodges, but all
the time our sWarthy, hRlf-nsked scouts
would guide us forward. Once in a
while we would halt for breath-an hour
of such climbing is very trying to the
lungs-but at last old Sergeant Stauffer,
who was close to my side, held up q
warning hand and pointed to the right.
Two of our scouts were kneeling behind
little rocky barrier and peering over,
motioning "keep back, - and the men,
who were spread out uncousciously in
skirmish line, halted In their tracks.
Presently l reached the ledge, and, obey
ing the signal of their cleaning eyes,
peered eagerly over. Five hundred
yards away was another and higher rocky
point, and above 1t, boldly outlined
against the blue of the heavens, lowered
a great cliff, the western ''terminus OF
the mesa. A likely place for an eagles
nest perhaps, but not another
living thing could think Of or
see as a possible inhabitant. But
the two ADaches by my side pointed ex-
citedly to the promontory ahead and then
one Of them waved his hand upward in
spirals, indicating smoke, and whispered

my field glasses detected what was be-
yond my eyes to see-not one but several
colorless columns of smoke
or vapor rising just over the. rock to our
front, and there was tbs "rancheria

Apaches, and in Eve minutes were join

NEW YORK, March 24.-The general specula-
tive community, quick to grasp at straws float
ing on the surface of events, is proportionately
slow at approaching the significance of the
great currents which carry the straws along.
Thus few of the men whose perceptions go
deeper than frivolous gossip, on which frac-
tional gains are scalped, are enabled to profit by
the shallow mindedness of their
fellows. These men are beginning
to consider the European situation as posi- BILE
factor in the course of our market Cables from
foreign financial centers report feeling of dis
trust. The resignation of Bismarck was the I'M
financial condition this should not have more
than temporary effect. I he general impress
sion seems to be that no ser Gus results will fol-
low, at the same time it is known that Ger
many's financial condition is not just now as
strong as might be wished. Speculation, espe-
cially in industrial stocks has been active if not
reckless Money is ruling high there at the
present time and the securities have of late been
shrinking in value.

gree, and all Europe is waiting. The lately in
creased strength of the financial conditions in
London and Paris is a favorable omen, and the
sentiment prevails that the crisis will be passed
safely. Still, the situation gives the bears in
our market new weapon. They are now, pro-
claiming that any rise in prices on our exchange

Universitx students in Russia.

LONDON, March 24.-Dispatches from
Russia in regard to the agitation among
university students are confused and con-
f1ictIng. The first said that the first dis
turbance was at the university of st i.
Petersburg, but later dispatches seemed
to make it clear that the agitation
started at the agricultural academy of
Petropenskoie, near Moscow. The climax
was reached and directors forbade the
students to make any protest against the
decisions of the school authorities, or to
hold any meeting. The authorities fol-
lowed this up by closing the academy.
The students were much confused, and
broke forcibfy into one of the lecture
rooms and held a meeting. Fully 200 were
present and took part in the proceedings.
They drew up statement of their griev-
ances, to which all 200 offered their sig
natures. In this they demanded that
the leaders in the student movement
should not be punished; that the director
should be dismissed, and that liberties
formerly enjoyed by the students should
be restored TO them.
Another strict precaution was taken by
the government, land the agitation spread
to other institutions, and students have
been holding meetings at gil universities.
There is general upheaval of the stud
emf world. Arrests of students suspected
of being leaders in the agitation have
been made at every one of the principal
universities throughout Russia.

AWFUL.
Families of Idle shamokin Miners Suffering
for the Neeessaries of Life-Re-
lief Stations Exhausted.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SHAMoKIN, PA. March 24.-The stu
alton among the idle miners of Shamokin
and vicinity is now assuming q crisis.
After being idle three months many of
them are actually starving, with no
shoes to wear, and hardly enough clothes
to cover their bodies, while whole
families are without even fire to
keep them warm. AS the first
of April approaches they fully realize
that they must either vaoate their pres
ent houses or pay their rent. These are
only few of the hardshIps to which the
miners and their families are now sub
jected. During the first few months of
idleness merchants of the town gave their
customers whatever they wanted on
credit, but as the number who asked
grew larger many of the merchants be-
came bankrupt while others were Obliged
to refuse their customers anything on
credit. They then applied to the poor
directors for relief, but the money OBJ
tanned from that source is not sufi-
oient to keep them from starving.
Tales of suffering and hard
ship have been pouring in until
VI thO pOOpAO was uIOuSCo'
The women of the town held a public
meeting and appointed committee to
solicit aid and establish relief station.
The committee has done good work and
the citizens have responded literally.
Scenes at the relief stations are in
describable. Women in taLtered gar
ments come many miles and ask for
shoes, stockings and other wearing
aDparaI besides something to eat
Children in their bare feet can be seen
standing on the outside waiting for their
turn to tell their story of woe,
and little girls can be seen every market
day going along the market place pick
ing up what vegetables may have fallen
from farmers wagons. The people of
Shamokin have donated literally, but
the number of applications for relief is
larger than the supply. There is not
scrap of food left in the station, and it
now looks as if the relief committee will
be unable to feed all who apply for food
unless they get assistance fr ON the out
side.
