The Swltchmen's Troubles.

The SH1tchmens IrOubltS.
At Albuquerque the swltchmen in the
Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific yards
who are on strike have been joined by
the day crews. The switchmcn claim
that they have only been drawing eleven
hours pay for twelve hours work. They
also claim the yard mast RS want them to
fill the water cars, but they refused on
the ground that it is out of their line OF
switching. General Yardmaster William
son denies the charges of the swtchmen.
General superintendent Sands passed
down the road yesterday afternoon to try
and fix up the matter. new feature
was added to the difficulties yester iav
Three through freight trains came in from
the east and were lying at Albuquerque
waiting to be dispatched west. After
some time the trainmen, owing to the
absence OF the swift hmen, were directed
to make up their own trains. This they
refused to do, and the refusal led to a
meeting in which the strikers. trainmen
and officials played prominent parts. The
outcome of the matter was that the
switchmen asked to be put back to work
for ten days until they could prepare
their grievances and present them in
proper form. When Mr.. Nudge was spo-
ken to about the matter he informed
them that he had no au hority to hire
them again, as he had received instruc-
tons from the officials at Topeka to dis
charge all of them. A report of the meet.
ing and the strikers petition We're for
warded to the general office at Topeka

Col. Smith AID His Corset.

The true reason why the confederates
lost the battle OF Cedar Greek, Va, and
which has never been told, will be read
with interest by the friends of former
citizen Of New Mexico. Every confeder-
ate who was there says that it was due to
the stampede of Rosser's "Laurel Bri-
sade," but few know what caused the
stampede. In the brigade vas the
Charlotte cavalry, OF Charlotte county,
Va. The captain of this company
was Thomas Smith, United Ssts
attorney for New Mexico under Prtsl-
dent Cleveland, who to add to his
ma rtial appearance wore corset He
led his gallant company on the field, and
Rosser was just about 10 order charge
when Capt. smiths horse stepped into a
stump hole. TIE sudden jerk broke the
corset string. The Swapping cord made a
report that sounded like bomb to the
battleless veterans, and with one accord
they followed thtir gallant leader-the
worthy Tom-from the field, throwing
the remainder of the brigade into a panic
and rihing down the infantry that were
supporting them. Capt. Smith, always
said that he left the field to get new
corset sting but he never found it.-Al-
buuuerQue Citizen.

ARMY AFFAIRS.

In his annual report upon the condition
of tie army in the department OF Arizona,
Brig. Gen. Grierson recently command
ing, says, among other things, that such
posts as Fort Lowell, Grant and Bayard,
can be abandoned without detrlment to
the service, and such. of the. troops sta
toned there as can not be provided for in
New Mexico and Arizona may be removed
elseH here. The post at Fort Union could
be abandoned at once by transferring
troop Il, 9TH cavalry. to Fort Wingate
company G, 10Th infantry, to Fort Marcy,
and company II, of that regiment, to Fort
Stanton. Gen. Grierson says the JicarIIlas
still attached TO the Ute agency, should
have a separate agent; that the agent,
Bartholomew, spends his time with the
Utes seeking to accomplish their removal.
His clerk, Stollsteimer, the former agent,
who converted the Ute reservation into a
cattle range, used the Jicrailla reservation
for the same purpose. He is an enemy
of the Indians and should have nothing
to do with either agency.

Gen Morgam's Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Commissioner
Morgan, of the Indian bureau, in his an
nual report to the secretary of the in
terror says of the Indian question gen
orally that there has been for ten years
or more real progress in the right direC-
ton, and the outlook for the future is en-
couraging. 1t has become, says the COM
missioner, the settled policy of the gov
ernment to break up reservations, de.
stroy tribal relations, settle Indians upon
their own lands, incorporate them into
national life and deal with them not as
uatIons or tribes or bands, but as indi-
vidual citizens. The American Indian is
to become the Indian American. A pub
lie school system is being rapidly provided
hereby every accessible Indian boys Of
school age is to be afforded an opportunity
of acquiring the rudments of an English
education and the elements of an hon
orable calling. The Indians themselves
are coming to understand the present
policy of the government, and are show
ing all increasing readiness and even de-
sire 10 Adjust themselves to it.
