with my young men and warriors, and
we will be avenged for you" The
soldiers belonging to the expedition hav-
ing paraded in open order and single
file, the forty young Cadoes commenced
on the right of the line, and marching
towards the left, shook each man by the
hand in the most earnest manner. When
their leader had reached the other ex-
tremity of the line, they instantly
placed themselves in corresponding
line, about three PAGES distant, and
their partisan or principal warrier de-
livered short address to the sergeant.
"Here we are," said he, "all men and
warriors shaking hands together, let us
hold fast, and be- friends forever" 1t
was said by the interpreter he prefaced
his observation by saying, he was glad
to see that his new brothers had the
faces of men, and looked like men and
warriors.
After a delay of few days the. .Cadoe
chief, protesting the most friendly dis
position towards the exploring party,
withdrew his young men to his own
village. On the 18th of July
the officers of the party hav-
ing as yet no certain knowledge of
the designs of the Spaniards, re-em-
barked on board their little fleet, and
began to ascend Red River from the
Coashatay village, having engaged the
Cadoe chief to watch the motions Of the
Spanish troops, and to, give. timely no.
tice of anything interesting to the ex-
pedition. The river above the Coash-
atay village, became very crooked and
wide, and the water was so low that the
boats were often aground, though they
drew no more than from sixteen to
twenty inches of water.

three Indians appeared on the sand

to previous engagement. They brought
information that the Spaniards had re-
turned to Nacogdoches, for reinforce
ment and new Instructions; that six
days since they had arrived at the Cadoe
village, about one thousand strong that
they had cut down the United States flag
in the Cadoe village, and had said, it was
their intention to destroy the exploring
party. They had taken from the Cadoe
village two young men to conduct them
to handsome bluff, few miles above
where they were now encamped, to
await the arrival of the party.
The Indian messengers. and the Ca
does who had remained with the party,
appeared much alarmed, and be-
sought the commanding officer to
return, saying, if they met the
Spaniards, not one would come back
alive. The distance to the Spanish

WILL NOT RENEW THE STRIKE.
Chicago Freight Handlers Are Salts
fed With the Treatment Accord
ed Them by the Roads.

Chicago, July 21.-There will not
be a renewal of the freight handlers
strike in Chicago. This decision was
reached at a special meeting of the
Freight Handlers union Sunday night
called by President Curran to consid-
err a report that four of the roads
are discriminating against the old
employees who went on a strike a few
weeks ago. After a careful investiga-
ton the committees appointed to in
vestigate the supposed grievances
reported that all the railroads with
the exception of the Panhandle are
living up to their agreements, and
that in some instances the men had
been accorded better terms than had
been demanded while they were on
strike. While the Panhandle people
have been unable to replace all the
strikers, it was reported all the old
men would be back at work in the
course of a few days, or as soon as
the contracts of the n%on-union men
who had been engaged during the
strike should expire.

The annual winter wheat estimate
Of C. A. King, of Toledo, o., issued
on the 18th, said: "Kansas has a
short wheat crop of poor quality. 1t
looks now like about $4,000, 900 bush
els, compared with 100, 000, 900 a year
ago. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois will
have a trifle more than last year.
Missouri and Michiganwill have about
q quarter more. These six states
raise over half of the winter wheat
crop"
The fall of the campanile in Venice
caused the complete destruction of
Molinaro's picture, 'The Sacrifice OF
SAUL" which was hanging in the royal
palace. Sciavano's picture, "Thc
Priesthq 3D." was also damaged.
Heavy rains were reported through
out Iowa and northern Illinois on the
18th and 10Th, and the rivers were
again at food stage. The Mississippi
between Keokuk and Cairo is at food
height, and this additional water will
cause great damage:
Skinker road, one of the thorough
fares leading to the St. Louis Worlds
fair site, may be chsnged to Rocham-
beau avenue, in honor of the celebrat-
ed Frenchman. But there are people
in st. Louis who protest. Col. Skinker,
for whom the road was named, was
a typical southern gentleman, who
bought his whisky by the barrel. A
man with an Endorsement like that
is not likely to pass away in the
memories of many Missourians.
Replying to a question in the house
of lords, on the 18th, regarding the

Worst Probably Over.

Keokuk, Ia, July 20.-The levees
protecting the Missouri bottoms be-
tween Keokuk and Quincy stood the
strain of to-day's flood. The Egyptian
levee is still several inches above the
Des Moines river, which is now sta
tionary here, at it's mouth. The Mis-
sissippi here shows a stage Of 1874
feet, the highest since 1897, and is
still rising, but not as fast as it was
this morning. The crest of the Mis-
sissipi rise will probably pass here
tomorrow. Great damage has al
ready been done, but the worst Is
probably over.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Missouri Land Suit.

Suit was filed in the circuit court
at Kansas City in a land case involv-
ing some $4,000. The petition is
signed by Anna and G. Z. Bishop, OF
Grain Valley, and is against Bette
and George Jennings. 1t asks that a
deed made by w. S. Bishop, conveying
the defendants land, which he decided
to them in October last, when he was
IS years old, be set aside. Bishop
was living with Bette Jennings, his
niece, and in consideration of her
care and attention so long as he
might live and her erecting a monu-
ment ove his grave when he died, h,
decided her 366.91 acres in jackson
county and 300 acres in Lafayette
county, with some lots in the town of
Grain Valley. The whole is estimated
as worth $4,000. Bishop died last
May. The suit states that the deed
was given under undue influences, the
signer being old and of weakened
mind. The property is said to be of
much greater value than was the
service rendered. The plaintiffs are
children of Bishops brother.
