CAUSTIC REPORT.
Gen. Miles Has Something to Say Abo ut
SxyfndIinS Indians.

Gen. Niles Has something TO say ADO Ut
Swindiing Indians.
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Gen. Nelson a.
Miles annual report of the condition of
affairs in the department of Missouri
will be forwarded to Washington to-
day.
One of the most important features of
the report is the statement regarding
the swindling operations of a ring Of
lawyers who are said to have gotten
s67, 600 from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians on a pretense that they had
settled certain Indian claims against
the government Gen. Miles has stead
fastly adhered to the belief that the
deal was a barefaced robbery and has
said SO in very vigorous language in his
report.
In 1850 Samuel J. Crawford, of Kan
sas. Matt Reynolds, of St Louis, and
D. b. Dyer, formerly mayor Of Guthrie.
Ok. entered into a contract with GER
tain Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians
for the recovery of the value of lands in
the Cherokee strip which was assigned
to those tribes but never occupied or
claimed by them. Capt. Lee. under
direction of Gen. Miles, made an eX-
haustive investigation on complaint of
Whirlwind and other Cheyennes. after
the interior department had allowed
fees amounting to SCI, 200 to be deducted
from the money due for the lands south
of the Cherokee outlet really occupied
by the tribes. His report was that the
contract with the attorneys was not in
the first place signed by the represent
tative head men of the tribe, and that
without the knowledge of those who
did sign clause was afterward inserted
providing that moneys from ANY other
lands" should be included.
The commissioners Who negotiated
for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands
said that the attorneys had nothing
whatever to do with the sale and
rendered no services Since Gen. Miles
refers to the case specifically in his re-
port. it will necessarily be taken up by
congress Congressman Wilson, chair
man of the Indian committee, has been
appraised of the facts and promises to
press an investigation.

THE DALTON GANG.

Two of Them Killed aud Five Others Capt
ured Through the Persistent Efforts of a
Deputy United States Marshal.
PARIS, Tex, Sept 15.-For some time
past Deputy Marshal Sam Williams, of
the Paris court, has been quietly follow
ing the Dalton gang, which robbed the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas train at
Adair, I. T., on July IA last, He trailed
them out of the territory into
Kansas and thence into Colorado
and New Mexico. It was not believed
here that he could succeed, and his
efforts were discouraged, but he dog
gedly followed his clew Last night he
wired from Deming. n. NJ, that ne had
captured Bob Dalton, Amy Dalton,
Grant Dalton, Sam Wingo and Three
Fingered Jack. and that he would get
the other three in a short time.
The railroad and express companies
offered 81, 600 each for the arrest and
conviction af the parties, and there are
rewards for the Daltons in California
aggregating s11, 000 more, The parties
will be taken to Fort Smith for trial.
The gang was run upon q short dis
tance from the Mexican border and in a
fight between the marshaPs posse and
the robbers two of the latter were killed
and five captured. Three of the gang
are yet at large and the posse expect to
capture them within day or two. The
,narShals posse consists of deputies and
squad of Indian trailers.

Railway Companies stop the sale of I'm
migrant Tickets.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-All the Chicago
railroads are adopting measures to pre-
vent the transportation of cholera in
fected emigrants into the west.
No recent arrivals from Europe
are now being brought from New
York or any of the eastern seaports
who are not armed with bills of
health or certificates showing that the
holders do not hail from part of Eu-
rope afflicted with the disease. Ticket
agents throughout the west have re-
ceived orders to discontinue absolutely
the sale of prepared orders until the
danger is past Instructions have also
been sent to the agents of railroads and
steamship companies in Europe to
sell no more tickets while the presi-
dents quarantine proclamation is in
effect This will stop the emigrant
business entirely for a while and, Of
course, will make considerable differ
ence in the passenger earnings of the
various roads.

ing in Russia-The Cholera In Paris and
Havre.
BERLIN, Sept. 14.-There were re-
ported in Hamburg yesterday 697 new
cases of cholera, 200 deaths and 345 in
terments. The exodus from Hamburg

BABYLON HAS FALLEN.

The Fire Island War Ends Peacefully and
the Normannia Passengers Have Finally
Been Landed.
BABYLON, Long Island, n. Y, Sept
14.-From ali indications in this place
the baymen's little war is over At
about 4:3o yesterday afternoon there
was small crowd of newspaper men,
summer residents, baymen and idlers
gathered around the end of the dock at
the pier from which the little excursion
boat Ripple, now the property of the
state. plies between Fire island
and the main land. In the
middle of this throng was
handsome rig, in which four gentlemen
were seated. The most prominent of
these was the much abused David S.
Sammis, the late proprietor of the Surf
hotel, Fire island, whose action in sell
ing his property to the state of New
York for quarantine purposes has
aroused Il maritime plot which has been
very much exaggerated
An Associated press correspondent
asked Mr.. Sammis to make a statement
of his views of the whole affair and he
said:
''The whole matter has been tenn
pest in a teapot. 1 did what any other
man in my position would have DONE
was made fair offer for my property
and 1 accepted it. That is all there is
in it. Some of the bay men, excited by
people who had political measures to
serve, became impressed more or less
with the idea that the esta blishnent of a
quarantine station at Fire island would
injure their business. This is all bosh
and they now know tn at it is so and
practically admit it. The political lead
ers led them on for effect and the
demonstration when the Cepheus first
attempted to land the Normannia's pas
Sengers was the result. There is no
need now to send any troops here and
on Fire island. in Babylon, at Islip and
at Bay shore all is quiet. The Norman
MAS passengers have all been landed
and will be made as comfortable as pos
sible."
AT 1850 p. m. dispatch was received
from Gov. Flower, addressed to Sheriff
Darling, saying that the governor pre-
ferred that the sheriff should remain at
Babylon for the present and that the
troops would also remain there until
all danger of interference with the state
authorities had passed.

rage.
HARMED, Kan, Sept. 15.-Hugh Henry,
alias Brock, the negro fend who made
desperate attempt to outrage
Miss Mabel WEIGH, was captured at
noon twelve miles west OF here, brought
back and hanged to a telegraph pole.
Monday night the negro. who had
been gambling and drinking In Lon
Eppers dive, left there penniless and
started out to seek a place to sleep.
According to his own lily constructed
story, the window opening into the
room of Miss Welsh was open and he
climbed in. This was about $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday morning when the streets
We're wholly deserted. Then began a
battle for life and honor by the young
woman. The fiend held knife in his
teeth and she made desperate effort
to get 1t in her possession In the att
tempt her hands were cut frightfully
and she was soon compelled to give up
the unequal contest. With the knife
in one hand and the other at her throat,
the wretch declared if she made an out
cry he would kill her. Still she fought
silently and successfully.
About noon, near the old Lawrence
tWciVc LHlIeS west Ol LSTHcu,
the wretch was found asleep. He was
awakened by his pursuers and upon be-
ing confronted with his crime and the
evidence confessed his guilt He was
brought back to Larned and given into
the custody of Sheriff Thorp, who
placed him in Jail.
As the electric light whistle gave the
hour of II, recruits went into the cleo
tric power house block in squads of
twelve and fifteen and at 1915, fifty de-
termined men, under good leadership,
advanced. The attack on the Jail was
begun at 1890 and at Ito a. N. the
leaders of the mob were in the brute's
cell and had adjusted the rope about his
neck.
The wretch was then marched beyond
the mineral lake to the railroad bridge,
three-quarters of mile west of the
Santa Fe depot, the rope thrown over
the crosspiece Of telegraph pole and

They Indorse tho Candidature of George
Clark For Governor.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 15.-The re-
publican state convention convened
yesterday. One of the incidents of the
convention was the opening prayer of
Unsin Miller Griffin, negro preacher,
who prayed for God to bless George
Clark, a democratic candidate for gov
ernor. This brought down the house
and the convention retired for awhile.
The report of the resolution committee
condemns the administra ton of Hogg
and indorses the candidacy of Clark, Il
democrat. This will give Clark at
least $4,000 out of a possible 10000 re-
pu blican votes.
The vote on the proposition resulted
400 to 1T9, and so it was decided that
Texas republicans should vote for q
