THE INDIAN AS A FIGHTER.

Excellent Mnrksman.

Excellent Mnrksman.
"rhe Indian Is the most vicious fight
err ON earth" said Mai. Barbour, late
press agent OF the worlds fair, but a
former plainsman, to Washington
Post reporter "You read in the nc-
counts of the South African war where
a hundred or two Englishmen go out
and whip five or ten thousand black
men. There Is no uncivilized people
ON earth, no race which is utterly igno-
rant of what we call the science of
war, that can for q minute compare
with the Indians as warriors. No
frontier general would think of lead
ing his troops against body of Indians
where the odds were greatly against
him. Why? Because the Indian is
naturally a fighter and marlssman,
and because lie has been quick to learn
what the white armies have taught
him In warfare.
Take that fight in which Sitting
Bull was killed. That was slSirmish,
it's true, but IL illustrates my point.
There were just sixteen men ON each
side. Tho battle lasted not over five
minutes, and eight were killed on each
side. Those Indian scouts rodo straight
through the camp of Sitting Bull, and
engaged the old demon himself and
fifteen of his picked warriors in bat
tie In which no man knew he had
more than an even chance of surviving.
"I've seen them. They love TO fight.
Their ambition is to win glory in
lighting. Their traditions urge them
on TO fight It's their only really aris-
tocratic business, They are physically
well qualified to fight; they know how,
and you can bet they do fight when
they get at It,"

Steamship Mariposa, via San Francisco,
Nov. - That the government is still
slightly in fear of a Rayalist uprising,
has been evident during the last week.
All the guards in the suburbs have
been doubled, and close watch has
kept ON all suspected persons. The
cause of this sudden activity is alleged
to be the discovery of plot to restore
the ex-queen. The restoring party was
supposed to b, led by q San Francisco
newspaper man, who. for a time after
his arrival here. soon after the recent
revolution, was an active supporter OF
the new government.
His house has been closely watched
for weeks past, and some days before
the departure of the steamer Australia,
last Saturday, he was told by Attorney
General Smith that it would be much
better for him to take that steamer,
than to remain here. He did so, but
the government has not relaxed its
watchfulness ON account of his depart
ure. One of the most prominent and
richest Royalists in the city said few
evenings ago: People who think our
cause is dead will be treated to sur
prise in the near future which will
make them open their eyes. We have
made. many attempts to arouse the
Royalists to sense of their wrongs,
hut so far we have failed. This time,
however, think we. have succeeded,
and viii accomplish ourend. Whether
we succeed or not, is. difficult to say,
but five did not think we would, we

will be closed Saturday, but George D.
Holt, the agent at Hinckley, will re-

any cases which may arise, and to see
that none of the sufferers come to
want. The treasury is now empty, but
the commission will adopt some means
to furnish relief to any persons in need
until the legislature meets, when that
body will be asked to make such appro-
priations as may appear necessary.
The hearing Of cases, however, is at an

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Indications
multiply to show that the German gov

towards ip,portations from the United
Stats that in the end may call for re.

tanned in a report to the state depart
Ement from United States Consul Rob-

imperial government looking for the

rated applies from the United States,
which are found to contain more than
a certain amount of zinc. supposed to
be taken up from the zinc frames on
which the fruit is dried. TIE result

Severe Blow to the Trade.
The consul suggests that the fruit driers
change their methods and use wooden
frames, as it is all important that arti.
cles sent from the United States to
Germany should be prepared in every
direction so as to offer no grounds for
complaint on the part of either German
officials Or competing dealers, such as
must be justly aud successfully used to
injure or destroy our trade. At the
same time the consul does not admit,S
without further proof. the full extent
by any means, of the alleged
well advertised defects in our
food products that are being claimed
in Germany. He feels convinced
that our government, through the
proper representatives, will take all
necessary steps to protect the healthful
and unadulterated wares of our export

to sell American arms in competition
with German arms. Inasmuch as Bel
