started off and told me to come along. I had
good horse, but he was pretty well played
out, for we had been riding hard for six DAYS
before we struck the Indian village, and il
was more than hard riding when we started
to catch them after they had given us the slip;
so | was not very anxious to give my horse
any more work than / was obliged to, but /

we were out of sight Of the command.
Custer rode up alongside of fine bull His
horse was green in buffalo hunting, and the
General had all he could do to keep alongside.
His horse would make lunges to get away, and
Custer would spur him up where he wanted
him. When at last he got up where he wanted
to fire at the bull he cooked his pistol and it
went off and shot his own horse in the head
instead of the bull The horse dropped dead
in his tracks and Custer went several feet over

He was sorry looking sight when he sat up

or two when ] saw the Indian scouts that
were attached to our command, with Comstock
at their head; so l rode back to the General
and waited until they got up to US. They
saw US and came toward US, instead of keep
ing their course, which was not great deal
out of their way. Those were the first days
of our buffalo hunting and Indian fighting,
and we were all green at it, but we learned
thing or two as we went along. Custer said
to Gen. Hancock he had learned several good
lessons; one was, never to interfere with Com
stock when he was after Indians; another
thing was, never shoot buffalo with an old
Starr revolver on green horse. This ride
was a long one, and brought US away up into
the North Platte country.

Senate that the opposition to the bill had sur
rendered, and that the bill would pass before
the end of the present month. If he could
prevent 1t, he declared, the bill would not bt
voted upon until the people had had chance
to give an expression of their opinion at the
general elections next Fall.
In the House. Mr.. Johnson Qnd., d. severely
arrsigned Mr. Holman, Chairman of the Indian
Committee, for what he termed the niggardly
and unwise policy pursued in the preparation
of this bill. Mr.. Johnson denounced the HOl-
man method of dealing with appropriations,
and declared that it was especially wrong and
Ubiquitous when applied to the Indians. Mr..
Holman did not make any reply to this attack,
but it stirred up some of his friends on the
Democratic side.
Later in the day Mr.. Johnson moved to in
crease the appropriation for the salary of the
Superintendent of Indian Schools from So, 500
to So 900. This would make the appropriation
the same as that of the present year, which
amount would be small enough for the pay
ment of the services of any competent man to
do the work. Mr.. Holman opposed it.
The net result of the days work was very
little. Mr.. Holman seems to be able to obtain
the support of majority of the Democrats in
his purpose to cut down the appropriations for
the Indians. 1t leads to a good deal of excited
feeling.

1t is predicted by Treasury officials that the
total deficit for the present fiscal year will not
exceed $75.000,000 The progress made on the
tariff bill during the last few days has encour-
aged the belief at the Department that it will
soon become law, and in that case Treasury
experts are confident there will be no necessity
for another bond ISSUE They argue that as
soon as importers know what duties they will
be required to pay they will at once place their
orders that have been held during the last sew
eral months pending the tariff settlement.
large increase in the receipts from internal
revenue is expected also. Owners of spirits
now in bond, it is contended. can better afford
TO pay even very high rate OF interest and
take their goods from bond, than to wait until
the law goes into effect and pay the higher tax
contemplated by the bill as it BOW stands. AL
together, the situation is not regarded as at all
alarming, and there is no serious thought of
another bond issue

ComstOck told the guards that these pesky
redskins were going to play us trick before
morning, but the Generals thought they
knew more than the scout. Our pickets were
put on stronger than usual, and close watch
kept for retreat, but no precautions were
taken to watch their movements after dark.
Taps sounded; officers all went to bed as easy
as though they were in some Eastern city.

headquarters and right alongside the scout
ComstOck. AS we lay side by side Comstock
said to me that he believed those red imps
were fixing to get away; "but," said he,

too much, but they will know more after they
have followed Indians as long as l have.

yorn, and do it quick, too"
Sure enough, about 1890 he reached over
and, giving me shake, said:

Indians are all gone"
did as he bid, and the General jumped up
and walked down to where ComstOck was and
asked him how he knew the Indians were
gone.
Well, Colonel I amt slept wink, and
there hasn't dog barked over there for three
hours; If they was there you would hear them
tarnel ours yelping all night"
Custer awoke several of the best men, and
we went to reconnoiter. He at the same time
sent to awake every man as still as posi-
ble and ordered to saddle. We were not
long In finding out that our scout was correct,
for he waded across and went into some of
the deepest tepees and found them deserted,
which fact he came back and reported. By
this time the command was in line, and we
made dash into the village and found it de-
| serted, with the exception of one old buck, so
sick he could not be moved, and O white wo-
man, also sick. They left their tepees stand
ing, as they did not have time to take them
with them. We unsaddled and fed ourselves
and our horses, and then set fire to every one
OF their lodges and burned them to the
ground.
AT daylight we started after the Indians.

low it, but Comstock said we would get fooled

post. The cOlored troops were good men and
good fighters. We started as soon as the grass
was so we could Craze our horses to hunt up
! the tribes. We knew they were camped some
where south of us, near what is now Okla
homa.
Our scouts found them on a branch of the
Washita River. Our scout, Billy Comstock,
found them on this creek or river, whichever
/ it was, and went into their camps and got
them to promise to come in and make treaty.
One of their chiefs, Little Roab and three
warriors came and met rs and agreed to have
all the head chiefs there in two days We
were making forced marches toward them all
the while and they were trying to hold Us off
by promises as long as possible. Their scheme
was to get their ponies in good shape for
long forced march. Hancock was too easy
with them. The scout, Comstock, wanted him
to hurry up and surround them and bring
them to taw. We marched up to within five
miles of their camp, and found them drawn
up into as pretty line of battle as you ever
saw. We expected an attack, so we formed
for fight. Just at this juncture they sent
out squad with white flag, and a small
party from our side went forward to meet
them. They wanted TO see the white chief
so Hancock and CusterweBtforward and held
short parley with the head chiefs, Black
Kettle and Santanta. They wanted the sol
diers to move back until morning, as they
said their women and children would be afraid
of them. In the morning they would all come
down and make a treaty; but instead of NOV
ing back our Generals thought it better to
march down to the river and camp within
sight Of the Indians.
We got into camp about p. NJ, right OPP
posite the Indian village. This village was
located on one of the prettiest spots / ever saw
in Kansas; it was long island formed by two
branches of the river, and their tepees were
laid out very regular for an Indian village.

BUILDING RATS ON BARRELS.

not always at hand where these things can be
purchased. Ali is fair, however, in love and
war, and an army will not hesitate in the
enemy's land to tear down a few structures in
order to procure what is wanted. At any rate
the men are instructed not to lose any time in
dickering and searching. and they seek to
excel each other in their haste to deposit their
booty on the river bank. There is no fear that
the simple material needed for this bridge
cannot be found in any locality.
After sufficient number of barrels lumber
ETC., have been collected, the first thing to be
done is to construct the several barrel rats.
This part of the work requires the most exact
ing surveillance on the part Of the engineers,
and would take much time were it not that the
tying together of the barrels demands less
skill than muscle and scrupulous honesty, so
that all able bodied soldiers can render them
selves useful here In case one of the barrel
RATS happens to be poorly tied, and becomes
loosened from the bridge, it might prove very
disastrous to the regiments. The single RATS
are all made ready on the bank and generally
consist of nine barrels, which are tied three
abreast to heavy beams. In case of scarcity
of barrels, RATS are made of heavy trees and
large wooden planks, and as rule bridge is
combination of barrel and plank RATS. Both
have their advantages and disad vantages. The
former offer excellent resistance to the current
but are vulnerable marks for the enemys guns,
while, vice versa, the plank RATS are more
readily overcome by strong current. Often
it is necessary to convert wooden vessels into
RATS for the support of the bridge. Here comes
the skill of the engineer.
Different modes of construction are required.
according to the different materials within
easy reach OF course, the most important
movables and all the implements are carried by
the corps, and when bridge is taken apart
whatever is light enough to be transported is
carted along for future usage. Whether the
buoyant material be composed of barrels or
