MAY LEAD TO TROUBLE.
Recent Cut in the Apache India1
Appropriation.

Heceht Out IN the Apache indian
Appropriation.
Washington, May 14-Representa-
tive Wilson Washington is. prepared
to show the House that the cut of the
Apache Indian appropriation from
$125,000 to 100000 will necessitate a re-
duction next year of one million
pounds of beef and 10000 pounds of
-four. 1t is his opinion that this cut is
likely to lead to trouble from the
Apaches. 1t has also been shown that
the Indian police service will be made
inefficient by the proposed cut, and the
Indian schools crippled. There are
many other specific items likely to
cause an uprising among the Indians.

A AFFAIR.

The Jersey City authorities ought to
be thoroughly ashamed of the rowdy
proceedings in that city yesterday when
the coaching party on the Alert were
passing through. The New York po-
lice authorities are not much behind the
Jersey people in the disgrace.
As the coach passed along, a crowd OF
rufians. thugs and thieves gathered In
Wayne street INC met It with a shower
OF all kinds OF missiles and all sorts
of vile remarks. A number Of ladies'
were on the coach and 1t was all their
escorts could do to shield them from
serious injury. The men were quite
severely cut and bruised.
In New York. at Twenty-fourth street
and Tenth avenue. some OF the stable
Gang pelted the coach with small
stones and gravel.
AS there had been some rowdy demon
%straticns on n former trip, the police
authorities of both cities were the more
to blame for the disgraceful occurrence.

Valkyrie, the defeated pet of the
