Little Good Came of the Fight with
Indians Last Winter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Major General
j. M. Schofeld has submitted to the
secretary of war his report of the opera
tions of the army during the past year.
General Schoield says that valuable ex-
perience has been gained in the cam
paign with the Sioux Indians last
winter. The report recommends an ad-
dition of afew thousand enlisted men to
be stationed near the great reservations
to remove the danger of up
risings among the Indians and
the expense of transportation
of troops from distant parts of the
country. Concerning gun construction
the report says satisfactory progress has
been made in the construction of the
gun factory at Waterville, N. Y, in the
manufacture of guns, of the highest
qualities. It will only require moderate
annual appropriations for the next few
years to place the extended sea coast
of this country in such condition that no
foreign enemy could inlict upon it any
serious loss or damage.

Very Light broad.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 23.-The Price Cur
rent says: Wheat crops in various Eu.
ropean countries are not SO seriously un-
favorable in results as generally counted
on, although the deficiency is great. A
careful revision of the crops indicates a
wheat yield as follows:
In Europe, 1880, ooo, 900 bushels.
In India, Algeria and Egypt, 300, OOO,.
900 bushels.
In Australia and South America, TO-
200 900 bushels.
In North America, 635, 900, 900 bush
els, making an aggregate of 1850, 0OO,-
600 bushels, compared with 2, 100, 900, 900
as the approximate yearly requirement.
It thus appears that the years defc-
iency in bread grain is closely represent
ted by the deficiency in the European
rye crops. With the generally good out
turn of the coaser grains in Europe, a
fairly good potato crop, and the econo-
mics which the situation will force, there
is not likely to result 80 serious a scar
city of food material as has been held up
to view by various writers.

has been received here of a battle which
took place Friday between a band of
Blood Indians and a force of Canadian
mounted police. The fight took place

band of horses belonging to the latter a
few days ago and ran off with nearly all
of them. Ten of the police started in
pursuit and coming upon them suddenly
both sides commenced firing and the
first fire killed one policeman and two
Indians, and several wounded on both

cavalry to take a station at the Black
foot agency as a precautionary measure
to restrain the Indians at that agency
from attempting any part in the dis
turbance,

Official Reports on the Valparaiso
Mobbing Reach Washington and
DISQUALIFICATION.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. Secretary
Tracy, after submitting the c%ablegram
received from Captain Schley, of the
United States steamship Baltimore,
about the ARRAY in Valparaiso between
the American and CHILEAN sailors last
week, to the president, made public the
substance of the dispatch.
A dispatch from Captain Schley stated
that he had made a careful investigation
of the assault on our sailors on the 10Th
inst. The investigation shows that
Petty Officer Charles Riggen, while rid
ing in a street car, was assaulted and
dragged from the car and shot and muir
dered by a mob of about 100 armed men.
Apprentice Talbot was assailed and cut
dangerously several times in his back,
two cuts penetrating his lungs. Coal
Heavier Itherson was robbed and cut
dangerously in the back several times.
Coal Heavier Turnball received eighteen
wounds in the back, two penetrating
his lungs. He is in a critical condition.
Officer Hamilton was wounded several
times in the back and other parts. Coal
Heavier Painter and Landsman Davidson
were dangerously injured by an assault
with clubs, stones and knives and a
number of other men were dangerously
injured.
Thirty-fve seamen were arrested by
the authorities, but what disposition
was made Of them cannot be learned
from the inability to translate the cy-
pher dispatch.
The surgeons of the Baltimore are of
the opinion that some Of the wounds
were inflicted by bayonets, showing
clearly the participation of CHILEAN
police.
The investigation shows that the
Americans We're sober, unarmed and in
no way guilty Of misbehaviour. Two of
the seriously wounded are still in hos
pitfalls.
Captain Schley informed Secretary
Tracy in his report that it has become
impossible for American officers to go
ashore without being insulted, and that
hereafter they e to go armed and to
resent insults in the proper way. "We
are losing our respect by permitting
these things, says Schley, land the
young officers are wild with rage and
cannot be much longer restrained"
81 do not want them to be further re.
strained" said Secretary Tracy to one
of the commodores on duty at the head
of a great supply department, land I
have told Schley So" Therefore any
day may bring news of a serious emeute
between the Americans and the Gillian
mob, %instigated and secretly encouraged
it is believed here, by persons high in
authority there.
In speaking Of the affair, the presi-
dent is reported to have said:

business from any nation and the

Will Beat the Government.

CHICAGO, Dot. 23.-The Zeisler Broth
ers, pearl button makers, arrested for
violating the contract labor law in i'm
porting button makers from Austria,
will likely beat the government. The
point made by the government was that
the pearl button industry was a new one
in this country and in bringing over
laborers the zeislers violated our immi-
grafton laws. Facts brought out at the
trial prove that pearl buttons have been
made in America for forty years and at
present $500 persons are working at tho
industry, two large factories being To-
Gated in Wisconsin and 150 in Eastern
states.

CHICAGO, Oct. pa special to The
Herald from New Orleans y Eu-
gene F. Garcin, paying teller of the
Louisiana State bank, this city, is a de.
faulter for $4,000. His populations
have been going on for fifteen years.
When the bank examiners came
around he simply counted the
sealed packages according to the
amount ticketed thereon and some of
these bogus packages recently got into
possession of local banks. Garcin, who
is a member of an old creole family, is
about 70 years of age and has been con-
nected with the bank for years. It is
suspected that he lost the money at pri-

tlrely solvent and the amount will sim
ply be charged up to profit and loss.
Garcin is at home and says the whole
affair is due to errors.
