| They Go Under Contract to Central America
and Return as skin and Bone.
New ORLEANS, July The steam
ship Professor Morse has arrived here
with 262 passengers aboard The Morse,
which Is from Central America reached
the quarantine station ten days ago with
1853 Of her 252 passengers sick. A death
had occurred at Utlla on board the
steamship Oteri from which the passen-
gers we're taken, which was regarded IS
suspicious, and four more at quarantine.
A committee Of experts visited the yes
sol to dscAnine whether the disease
from which the passengers we're suffer
ing was contagious or not The doc
tors found 1853 Of the passengers sick
from malarlal and bilious feyers and
dysentery, and that the five deaths had
all occurred from the same disease.
There being no contagious disease
among them, the passengers we're ac-
cordngly allowed to disem bark. They
are Americans from all parts OF the
country who went down to Central
America in April to work on banana
plantations at Lacete, in Honduras.
Most Of them were unacclimated and
suffered severely from the diseases
Of the country. They say further
that taey were very harshly and badly
treatcd that their food was wretched
and insuilicienti that the quarters were
without flooring or roofs and no beds
we're provided for the men, and that
after working three months many Of
them found Themselves in debit IN their
employers. Ten OF the party died from
debility Many of the men taken from
the vessel were in very bad condition,
so wasted and weak that they had to be
carried ashore They were very indig-
nant at the owner Of the fruit planta-
ton on which they worked and the em-
ployment Office which sent them TO Cen
tral America

An exchange suggests that pacing
colt can be made to trot by working
him in long grass.
II is said that the horse first came
from North Africa, and was used in the
service Of man at least 8, 800 years ago.
The old race horse Brodhead was sold
at auction in New York recently for
$50. He is a half-brother to the famous
FoNhalL
Often it will he profitable to go among
the crops after they are laid by and
with hoe cut down any late weeds that
may have started up and in this way
prevent others from maturing seed
The American Liveryman says that
horse that has been for twelve years
employed to haul away the sawdust iu
a lumber mill, has become so well &C
auainted with his work that he goes
from one hopper TO another, through in
tricate passageways, without a driver
and never strikes a post lie begins
and ends with the whistle, as do the
men.

SAVAGE KICKAPooS

They Refuse to Treat After Eating the Gov
ernment Cow-Rumor OF Taking the War
Path.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, July 3.-The
Cherokee Commission arrived here yes
terday after a trip among the Indians.
They were successful in negotiating
with the Iowas, Sacs and Foxes, Shaw
nees and Pottawatomies, but failed with
the Kickapoos. The latter tribe is the
widest one in the Territory and Wa
Ba-Ma-Sha, the chief refused fatty to
have any thing to do with the Com
mission and the other members OF the
tribe maintained a suspicious and
menacing attitude. The Commission
ers ordered COW feast but after
the beef was all devoured the In
dams still maintained their deter
mination not to listen to any PROPOSE
tlons. They gathered together, while
their chief WaBa- Ma-Sha, told the
Commissioners of this determination,
and when Governor Jerome attempted
to speak the chief made gesture and
in a minute the Governor was without
an Indian audience. Without further
parley and being naturally anxious to
get away from such savage set OF peo-
pie the Comm ssioners broke camp.
The Commission will leave to-day for
Fort Reno where they will pave the
way for negotiations with the Chey-
ennes and ArapahOes-
The failures with the Kickapoos is
likely to result in the Commission rec
that these Indians be re-
moved or else compelled to take allot-
ments They hold their reservation by
executive order only There are some
rumors that these Indians are on the
point Of running away to the Bountains
of Mexico again.

GOOD TEMPLARs ANNIVERSARY.

Great Preparations Being Made for the
Celebration Of Its Twenty-fifth Year.
At the meeting last Saturday evening Of the
committee in charge OF the arrangements for
the celebration of the twenty fifth anniversary
OF the introduction of the order Of Good
Tempiars in the District, it was manifest that
great enthusiasm and interest prevails in rela-
ton to the occasion, which will be OF the great
est importance TO tho order. Next Sunday
evening the anniversary sermon will be
preached by PCT DR.. Corey at the Metropol-
itan Church, and on Monday at the Congrega-
tional will be held the regular anniversary meet
ing. for which an elaborate program has been
arranged. The visitors from abroad who will
participate in the meeting include the Grand
and several subordinate lodges Of Virginia and
Maryland. The Grand Lodge Of Ontario sends
its representative in the Grand Vice Tempiar
Miss Bessie Starr Keeper, and the Il w. Grand
Lodge sends the highest officer on this con-
tluent. DR.. Orophyatekha. The fame OF
these workers a. speakers Is national and
must bring to the exercises planned for this
celebration great additional interest. The
members OF the order who have enjoyed MEM
bership for ten years will meet this evening at
the Hiilnian House and complete the organixa-
ton of y veteran association, under whose
direction and auspices the social attraction OF
the celebration will mainly be presented The
handsome souvenir badges intended to be worn
at the several meetings are being disposed OF in

Ships Fitted With Balloons.

The British admiralty, it is stated, has given
orders for two Of the new gun boats now build
ing to be fitted with captive balloons. This is
IN accordance with the present practice in the
French navy. The practical advantages of the
balloon were demonstrated during the recent
maneuvers of the French fleet in the Mediter-
ranean. The Formidable, one of the most
powerful OF French battle ships, is furnished
with one of these balloons When the vessel Is
steaming 1t is towed behind, being attached
with block and tackle to the deck. 1t can
therefore be drawn down and manned, and,
on the connection with the deck being
severed, it ascends, but is still held
captive by a rope made of silk for light
ness, fixed on one of the military tops. This
connection with the military top is always
maintained The balloon on the Formidable
has 11.0O0 cubic feet of hydrogen gas and as
cends $50 feet or So The French officers re-
port that objects twenty-five miles distant can
be seen from the balloon, whereas from the
deck the horizon line Is not more than eight
miles distant One other feature brought out
by the trials was that an observer in the balloon
was able to follow the movements of the sub
marine boat Gymnote without losing sight of
1t for single instant, although it was very con-
siderable distance below the water level. 1t
must be remembered, though, that the waters
Of the Mediterranean sea are very clear. but the
French assume that, inasmuch as eighty feet
could be penetrated there, ordinary sea-water
objects could be seen at good depth.
