THE SUBDUED MOQUIS.
A CLIFF DWELLING TRIBE THAT DE-
FLED THE GOVERNMENT.

Seven Villages Contain Them, Only One OF
Which Has Been Inclined to Be Hos
tile-Its Inhabitants Made Trouble for
the Census Takers.
HoLBRoOK, ARIz., July 4.-Colonel Cor
bins command returned here to-day, the
movement against the Moqui's at Oraibe
having been most completely successful
The region traversed is rocky and desolate
one, containing scarcely single spring in
100 square miles.
When the expedition started, fears were
entertained of serious trouble, not especi-
ally from the Oraibe, but from the danger Of
conflicts incidental with the powerful
Navajo tribes adjoining, who number
$4,000. The Moquis are descendants of
the old cliff dwellers, and for
ages have lived in seven small towns built
upon high cliffs near the southeast corner of
the Navajo reservation. Six of thesestowns
have always been peaceful, but Oraibe, con-
tanning over 800 inhabitants, has always
been unfriendly, owing to the work OF
fanatic medicine men. Last winter they
stubbornly refused to be counted by the
census enumerator until persuaded by the
presence of troopsof cavalry. Since then
their chief has become friendly and advised
his people to follow American ways.
This made trouble with the fanatics, and
they resorted to open hostility. They
threatened a surveying party with violence,
and also threatened the destruction of the
Government school and all Americans con-
nected with it. The Moquis withdrew from
the vicinity of the school and the Navajos
then threatened not only the Moquis, but
also Americans. A short time ago, at
the request of the Indian agent,
Captain McClelland, with his troops, ar
rested Navajo buck who had resisted the
agent. This had a salutatory effect, but
still throngs of idle young bucks, all well
armed, continued to gather and it was feared
some mischief might follow.

PARKERSON, OF NEW ORLEANS,
THE LEADER OF THE CITIZENS MOB
OF HENNESSEY'S AVENGERS,

Arouses the Enthusiasm of bloomington to
the Highest Pitch-High Praise for
Blaine-Patriotism Alive in the South
The Immigration Question Treated.
BLooMNGToN, ILL, July 4.-The most
notable and enthusiastic celebration of In
dependence Day in the history of Bloom
ington was that which occurred to-day.
The orator of the occasion was W. s. Park
erson, of New Orleans, the leader of the
citizens in the Malta riot in that city. The
Illinois National Guards and civic societies
and a crowd of 10000 people assembled at
Franklin Park, and Mr.. Parkerson was in
troduced by Mayor Foster. MI. Parkerson
was greeted with prolonged cheering.
The scenes which followed the address
can scarcely be described. The assemblage
wildly passed around the orator, cheering
for Parkerson, New Orleans and the South,
shaking hands with him, and speaking
words of congratulation, good will and
esteem for the people here present
"I am neither Colonel nor a Judge, but
plain Mister-a private citizen of the United
States" were the words with what the
speaker introduced himself. "We, the
People," was the subject of his address. The
speaker proceeded: 1 yield in love of my
country to no man within the borders of it,
MY pride in this grand Government is not
overtopped by any In its great
ness 1 glory, in its unity l re-
joice and l hesitate not to say that the
most intensely American spirit and pride
which have ever seen can be found in the
lowlands of Louisiana, behind the levees of
the Mississippi river. The Stars and Stripes
have no more faithful lovers than the men
quickly any insult to it. This the President
would have learned had he seen
fit to visit our city, and this
that other man, than whom think
none greater lives to-day, can feel if
he will only come to US. We will show him
how we appreciate his genius and admire
his Americanism. 1 scarcely need say I
mean the great Secretary of State, James
Blaine. [Applausel.
Another remarkable passage of Mr.. Park
erson was in regard to immigration and nat
uralization laws, although it contained no
direct reference to the New Orleans trag-
edies. The following was his peroration:
Patriotism is not dead; it slumbereth.
Soporifc money has stupefied-it has de-
srroyed. To the most casual observer it is
manifest that there is a terrible race in our
country for the acquisition of wealth, and
that has been the end toward which all the
energy and ability of the land has been bent.
There is the rock upon which our ship of
state may be wrecked. This desire for
wealth has stunted the better desires and
qualities of man. Against this we must con-
tend. While we are grasping after the
shadow the substance of happiness is being
destroyed.

THE DESERT LAKES SUPPLY.
1t Is Pretty Well Established Now Whore
the Water Comes From.

It Is Pretty Well Established Now Where
the Water Comes From.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-The source Of
the water in the dry lake of the Colorado
desert seems to be pretty well established
by investigations of Indian runners. They
ave gone out from Yuma and Salton and
their reports agree that the water comes
from New river, which receives the over
flow from the Colorado river. The theory
that the water comes from the Cult Of Cali
fprnia by an underground channel still has
adherents, but the fact that strong current
was noticed by the Indians in New river
setting toward Salton seems convincing that
1t is Colorado river water which has aroused
so much excitement on the desert. A few
thousand sand bags would probably stop the
overflow from the Colorado below Yuma,
and the checking of this overflow would at
once end the current in the New river and
cut of the supply of water pouring into the
desert.
A special from Salton to-day says that
large amount of salt stored in the ware
houses is being removed, as it is feared the
supports of the building will be washed
away. The water is rising, very
slowly, but the lake is surely in
creasing in extent, and it will
soon cover the machinery OF the salt
works. The widest part of this new salt
lake, which may possibly put out of date all
present maps of California, is that part from
Salton directly across to the base Of the San
Jacinto Mountains.

MEADvILLE, July 4.-The only feature
Of the celebration to-day which did not ma
terialize was the balloon ascension. At
o'clock Prof Alexander Thurston and
Charles w. Stuart seated themselves in the
basket, and shouted "goodby" to the
crowd. Hardly had the words left their
lips when the wind carried the balloon
against the electric light wires, and fear
full struggle began. Women screamed and
several tainted Finally the wire broke and
the balloon shot upward, with Thurston and
Stuart clinging to the basket, the Mortified
spectators expecting to see them dashed to
the earth.
The balloon was carried eastward by the
wind, and the basket struck the chimney of
the residence of Edward Huidekooper. Then
the air ship came toward the ground in an
orchard near by. and the balloonists jumped
for their lives, while the balloon shot up
like rocket and was finally lost to sight
The aeronauts escaped with slight shocks
from the electric Light wires and few
bruises

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July 4.-The old
