leased u few weeks ago and came to Danbury.

ty of stolen property was found.

NORFOLK. Va, Nov. 17-News OF serious

Ing at tho Navy Yard, that while she
was coaling at Lambert's Point, preparatory

which was too large for lump OF coal. 1nves-

that would have blown the big ironclad out Of

There are all kinds of theories regarding the
matter. the most plausible being that the kog

the coal loaded on top Of 1t. Another Ia that
some ill.advised Cuban sympathizer placed ii
there to prevent the vessel from patroling the

Indian Police Are Attacked from Ambush. but

WICHITA, Kan, Nov. ia party Of Indian
police were attacked from ambush by Choctaw
Indians on Blue River, near Wapamucka, /. T..
yesterday, and in the fight Houston Perry,
member Of the attacking party. was killed.
Jim Colbert, Captain Of the Indian police,
killed half-breed named Ed Brown about
year ago. At that time Colbert was Sheriff of
TishomIngo county. Brown was leader Of the
non-progressive faction and incurred tho enmity
Of Colbert.
The two had frequent auarrels. and the first
time Brown was guilty Of trivial offence tho
Sheriff shot him. Colbert's action was con-
demned on all sides, but his official prestige
saved him from prosecution.
Houston Perry. friend of Brown. swore to
avenge the killing. Colbert and his men were
on tho trail of horse thief when am
busheG. After the first volley they poured
q regular fusillade Of bullets into tho
thicket where Perry and his friends were con-
ccaled. Several of the latter party were
escaped with only few wounds.
The lawlessness that prevails in that district
is largely due to the fact that tho Indian courts
have exclusive Jurisdiction over all cases in
which Indians only are concerned.
These courts mcto out Indian Justice, which
Under this regime human life Is cheap. and tho
most atrocious murders frequently go unpun-
ished. All this will be changed the first of the
year, when the Indian courts will be abolished.

A REGIMENT WITHOUT OFFICERS.
They Resign Because They Say Con. GascoiGne
of Canada Has unsuIted Them.

HALIFAX, Nov. 17.-There is q row In the
Sixty-sixth H'rincess Louse) Fusileers of this
city. one of tho best regiments Of the Canadian
militia, and most Of the officers have resigned.
Gen. Gascogne of Ottawa. commanding the
Canadian militia, came to Halifax n week ago
to hold inspection. This was the first appear.
ance of such an officer for eleven years. Instead
OF praising the force, he severely censured tho
drill Of one Of the regiments. and In the case of
the Sixty-sixth charged the officers with fraud
for what he called the scandalous way they had
filled up tho ranks. He charged that twothirds
OF the men were from the British army reserve,
illegally drawing pay from two sources, and
thus committing fraud on the imperial and
the Canadian Governments. This he said pub
licly before the regiment. and he also told Col.
Humphrey privately that his regiment was COM
posed of army reserve men, ex'soldiers, and
kids"
The facts are that not more than forty of the
Sixty.sixth army reserve men. and the Off.
GERS cannot make out why Gen. GAscoigne made
such erroneous statements. They blame Gen.
Montgomery Moore. tho officer commanding
the British forces, who dislikes the militia,
and especially the Sixtysixth, for having poi.
soned the mind Of Gen. Gascoigne. Twelve Of
the officers have already resigned, and by to-
morrow the Sixty-sixth will be without an off,
Ger on account OF what they consider the insults
of the commander Of the Canadian militia.
