ZUNI INDIANS ARRESTED
charged With TOrturinx nm Old Mn
man of the Tribe

Inc commissioner of Indian affairs has
peeh informed by telegram from Captain
Nordstrom, acting agent of the Zuni In
dians, OF the arrest of the Indians charged
with the torture of an old Zuni woman for
religious reasons.
Inc telegram was dated on the 18th in
slant, and was delayed in transmission TO
the nearest telegraph office. 1t appears
mat the arrests were effected by the sheriff
who was to have started on Sunday last
with his prisoners for Los Lunas, where
the territorial court by which they will be
tried was to have convened Monday. the
sheriff and his prisoners were escorted by
three OF the four troops of cavalry sta
TONED at Zuni- Captain Nordstrom also
asked that a troop be kept at Zuni after
the departure of the criminals for the pro-
lection of witnesses. He says the people
regard the per sons of the prisoners who
are feiiEous fanatics, sacred, and he
evidently fears these who are to testify
against them will be intimidated or at
tackled. The officer commanding the
troops construes his orders as meaning
that he shall afford protection TO the wit
Eesses only while en- route 10 the rail-
road. Hence Captain Nordstrom asks that
the war department be requested to have
troop left at Zuni. This request has
been forwarded to the War Department
with the Endorsement of the Indian COM
missioner and the Secretary of the In
terror.

REPORTS OF CoNsuLs.
Information Regarding the Russian
Grain Crop.

| SEOps
| More detailed information than has here
! tofore been obtainable concerning the con-
dition of the Russian grain crop is con-
| tanned in a report on the subject to the
! State Department from United States Con-
\ sui Heenan at Odessa.
| He says the crops over an extensive area
have failed. The beginning of the trouble
was the dry winter. causing the failure of
| half the wheat sown. With a favorable
| spring and resowing the prospects were
good. however, almost up to cutting time.
Then came the wettest season known in
years, and hail destroyed both ripe and
rnripe grain. In large areas no effort was
| made to harvest Samples of the new
wheat are inferior in quality and weight.
The yield is from four to six bushels per
acre for winter and spring. Barley is dis
colored and under weight. Rye is much
damaged. and will be under the average
crop. Oats alone are in favorable condi-
ton.
Mr.. Heenan says that but little wheat
VIII be shipped from Russia during the
season of 1S91-9S for the simple reason
that there is little available for export
The failure of the wheat crops in Austro-
Hungary, Roumania and Bulgaria has
brought buyers into Russia from those
countries, and the wheat will go to them
by rail. How much of this wheat Russia
can afford to let go is question now being
discussed. While hints are thrown out that
the export of cereals may be altogether
prohibited, the consul believes these have
no foundation, and that the Russian gov
eminent will never again make the mis-
take 1t did i'll the famine year of prohibit
ing exports.

gold dust. The information comes to the
State Department from Consular Agent
Clancy at Bluefields. He says the old duty
was 30 II cents per ounce on gold. The
mining interests have united in petitioning
the government to revoke the decree, which
they assert. would be ruinous to new in
