urge upon the people OF all sections the
consideration that no good cause can be
promoted upon the lines of lawlessness.
Mobs do not discriminate and the punish
ment inflicted by them have no repressiye

they beget reyenges and perpetuate feuds.
It is especially the duty of the educated

ignorant when accused of crime are fairly
tried before lawful tribunals The moral
sentiment of the country should be
aroused and brought TO bear for the sup

General Miles's Report.

WASHINGTON, October 13.-General
Miles, commanding the department of
the Missouri, has submitted his annual
report to the War Department. The in
spection reports from different posts,
General Miles states, show that the
troops are in a good state of discipline
and efficiency. General Miles states that
on May 3, last, the commanding officer at
Fort Reno reported the existence of seri-
Gus dissatisfaction among the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indians, owing to the de-
duction for so-called attorneys fees of
$67, 800 from the moneys due those Indi-
ans in payment for that part of their res
ervation opened to settlement. With
view to learning the grounds for the dis
content, General Miles directed an inves-
tigation to be made by Captain Lee, of
the Ninth Infantry, who submitted p
long report on the subject, in which he
says the final payment OF the money was
tainted with misrepresentation, fraud
and deceit, and is an outrage upon the
Indians under their agreement
General Miles earnestly renews the
recommendation made in his last annual
report of 1856, 900 for the mobilization of
10000 regulars and 10000 state troops at
the Worlds Fair. which he thinks can be
easily done under reasonable rates made
with railroad companies.

CUT THEIR HARNESSES.
More Trouble Among the Soldiers of the
Queen


LONDON, October 13.-Another case
exactly similar to that which occurred a
few days ago at Windsor, when the
members of G Squadron of the First
Regiment,of Life Guards revoled against
their treatment by certain of their Off
GERS, has occurred at Portsmouth. The
Thirteenth Company of the Army
Service Corps, stationed at Portsmouth,
have been compelled to attend number
of extra drills, which, they claimed,
were entirely unnecessary, and they be-
came ilritated at what they believed to
be their officers harsh treatment. A
consdiracy was Matched, prompted, no
doubt, by the action Of the Life Gnards-
men, who cut their saddles and rendered
them useless, and this morning it was
found that some time during the night
the harnesses belonging to the horses of
the Thirteenth Company had been SO
badly cut they were worthless. Today
the members of the company are con-
fined in their barracks. The military
authorities are inquiring into the case,
and it will probably go hard with the
conspirators, in view of the many cases
of insubordination that have occurred in
the army in the past two years. The
ac ton of the authorities in this case is
watched with great intest in military cir
cleS.

A PAGER Poisoned on the Track at Point
Breeze.

PHILADELPHIA, October IS. = Point
Breeze was yesterday the scene of a
scandal almost without parallel in trot-
ting turf history. Grover S., nine-year
old pacing grandson of Rysdyks Ham
bletonian, was the choice against a field
of eight other side-wheelers, having
won a five-heat race at Baltimore last
Saturday, over far superior field, the
fastest heat in 2.144, besides which he
was Wednesday the subject of a contem-
plated sale at $500, with a condition
that he could show a trial close to 2.10.
When selling opened on his class, Grover
sold at odds over the whole party. Then
John Dreyfus, local gambler and a
known acquaintance Of Lyman, the driv-
er of the favorite, began running the
field up until the price ruled five to three
against Grover. Dreyfus is not usually
large buyer on his own account. This,
coupled with the shady reputation of the
driver and his stable, aroused suspicious
which were not long in reaching the
stand, and when the favorite finished
fifth in time, six seconds slower than his
record, Lyman was called up and asked
to explain.
win some other driver would try, Lyman
finished ahead in 2.17l, and the race was
postponed. When betting was resumed
Yesterday, instead of Dreyfus, another
friend and neighbor of Lyman's, from
Linghamton, rapidly ran the field end up
to $40 and $45, Grover selling for $25.
and at those odds more of the Lyman
Stanley money went into the box. The
first heat Grover won, but he reeled on
the home stretch in very noticeable
manner. Although Grover had two
heats and really nothing to beat, the
field was six and seven against five. The
gelding scored up lndifferently, and near
the quarter pole he was seen to stagger
for about 20 yards, and then fell against
the outer fence. All of the judges, one
of whom is a veterinarian, went around
to where the horse lay dead. What
have you done to your horse?' asked
Mr.. Wardroth Nothing" said his rub
ber and ''nothing,'' echoed Lyman.
STOPPING down to look at some blood on
Growers mouth, caused by the fall, DR..
Marshall said, .'This horse is poisoned.
The judges, leaving the veterinaries to
make a post mortem, announced that all
bets on the heat and all pools on the
race were declared off, and further, that
when the facts were all before them they
would make final decision in the mat
ter.
Stanley, the owner, was invisible, and
very soon it was discovered that he and
his driver, Lyman, had scuttled, bag and
baggage, leaving behind two bottles con-
tanning laudanum.

WILL MR. BLAINE SPEAK :?
A Great Republican Meeting Is 10
Be Held In New York.

AT OPHIR FARM.

MIR. Reid Would Not Let Reporters ToIk
Politics With the cx-Secretary-Distin
Suished Republicans Were Guests at
Dinner But 1t Is Denied that They
Camo to Urge Mr.. Blaine to Make
Speeches.
WHITE PLAINS, N. T., October 13.-
Ex-Secretary Blaine had quiet time at
Ophir Farm today. That the Maine
statesman had a day of thorough rest was
due to the fact that Mr.. Reid stood as a
barrier between Mr.. Blaine and the army
Of reporters who sought to interview the
s'Plumed Knight" Every request for an
interview with Mr.. Blaine was denied un-
til the applicant promised not to bore
him with queries as to what he thought
of the political situation, and other more
or less fatiguing questions. The conse-
quence was that Mr.. Blaine had merely
to submit to questions regarding his
health, and other matters not relative to
political affairs. Mr.. Blaine informed all
his callers that his health was excellent.
He said he would remain few days at
Ophir Farm, awaiting the arrival of Mrs.
Blaine and James G. Blaine, Jr., who are
expected Monday, and would then go to
Washington with his family.
Flaming posters were pasted up around
town, announcing public meeting for
next Tuesday evening, at which it is
promised that Warner Miller, Whitelaw
Reid and other and other eminent speak
ers will make addresses. 1t is whispered
that Mr.. Blaine may be induced to make
a speech on that occasion.
4 distinguished delegation came up
from New York in the afternoon, but
Mr.. Blaine did not meet them until he
came down stairs to dinner at seven
in the evening. The gentlemen whom
Mr.. Reid invited to meet Mr.. Blaine were
Gen. James S. Clarkson, Cornelius n.
Bliss, Chairman Carter of the Republic
can National Committee and Secretary
McComas. To representative of the
press. Mr. Reid stated this evening that
the visit of Mr.. Blaine and his meeting
with the directors of the Republican cam
paign had no political significance what
ever. 1t was purely social affair, not
gathering for the holding of an import
ant conference as to the progress OF the
campaign. Mr. Reid also said that MI.
Blaine was not induced to come on in or
I der to give the managers ofthe campaign
an opportunity to make a personal and
united appeal to him to deliver one or
more campaign speeches.
The absence of Mr.. Harrison from the.
campaign, made necessary by the illness
of his wife, has, it is said, led the menl-
bers of the National Republican Com
mittee to desire some strong climax.
Whether the arguments of General
Clarkson, Joseph Manley of Maine,
Cornelius Bliss, or Mr.. Reid. all strong
personal friends of the ex-Secretary of
State will induce him TO run the risk at
tendant upon entering the political cam
paign in his present physical condition
is uncertain. The matter is evidently
being seriously considered, and the visit
of James G.. Blaine to Whitelaw Reid
may have marked effect upon the cam
paign.

THE ALABAMA TROUBLE.
Kolbites Following Up Their Action in the
Appointment of Supervisors.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, October ia
number of citizens of Bullock county
came to Montgomery and employed the
law firm of Richardson & Reese to insti-
tute mandamus proceedings before Judge
Bruce, United States District Judge, now
sitting at Huntsville, to require the pro-
bate Judge, circuit clerk and sheriff of
the county to appear before him and show
cause, if any they have, why they should
not appoint one inspector of election in
each Of the several beats in Bullock be-
longing to the political party opposed to
the political party favored by the said
officers. Attorney Reese left last night
for Huntsville to appear before Judge
Bruce with his petition today. This move
on the part of the Kolbites is expected to
create sensation at Democratic head
quarters. Similar mandamus proceed
ings, it is said, will be brought in other
counties. The next few weeks of the
campaign are expected to be the most
heated Of any since 1874. For the first
time since the war the whites are greatly
divided, but to what extent no one can
now foretell.

British officers. The natives have been

have now broken out in revolt. The

point six miles from Fort White and
fired upon the escort of number of
native officers, killing seventeen. A
small force was sent to search for the
bodies for the purpose of burying them.
This force found that the Chins had de-
serted their village and were lying in
ambush two miles from Fort White.
This knowledge prevented another mas
sacre. The British force succeeded in
routing the Chins from their hiding
place. They made stand little further

PART OF THE cELEBRATIo N.
A Lecture in Which Columbus Was Called
a Liar and Pirate.

DETROIT, Mich, October 3.-"Colum-
bus was a liar" said Albion W. Tourgee
in lecture before 5000 people assembled
in the Auditorium to celebrate the dis
covery of America. Nor was this the
most surprising sentence in a bitter in
vective Tourgee delivered against the
navigator. Every act of his life was one
of egotism, he said, and intended to sat
isfy his greed of gain and fame. Every
thing he sailed on was wrong, and he
discovered America because he was lost
and could not do otherwise. He was
probably Mediterranean pirate in his
early days, and not a single act of his life
up to the time he was so years old was
worthy of recording. These are only
samples ofssMr. Tourgee's conclusions re-
garding Columbus. The people who
heard him were nonplussed. The lecture
and an italian parade constituted the
days celebration.
