Worrv About Anaches.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct. 4-For some time
past settlers on the abandoned Fort Nc
Dowell military reservation have been I'M
easy regarding the conduct of the Apache
Indians who have left the reservation a
few at time for months and have been
rendezvousing in that vicinity. The In
dams say they are peaceful and claim
they could have the reservation lands
but they have no crops or other visible
means of support save basket weaving
and are short of provisions. They forage
on farms of settlers and when taken to
task they are abusive and threatening.
Settlers fear that some one in anger on
one side or the other may commit an
overt act ending in an uprising and they
are arming themselves and have arranged
signals for assembling at once in case OF
emergency. The matter has been brought
to the attention of the Indian Office, but
conflicting statements made by Indians
and settlers have retarded action.

attended by a remarkable gathering
of clergy. Eight archbishops, IS bish-
ops and more than 1000 priests were
present. Inside the gothic alter six
candles were burning and the smoke
Of incense hung about it. Around the

a double row in a candelabra above

low his feet. Black cloth was hung
about the fiuted pillars, on the vacant

and black.
The chimes played, and then the
bells tolled from the spires; after
that the thousands, priests, bishops
and archbishops and Cardinal Glib

cross, and candlebearers. There wore
bearded Franciscans, in coarse brown
cowls with white rope girdIes,

roses, lilies and orchids, laced with
purple ribbon, the gifts of the presi-
dent, the Loyal Legion, ordnance bu-
reau, navy yard workers and the many
social and personal friends of the dead
admiral. The president arrived at the
church almost simultaneously with
the head of the funeral escort. The
casket was covered with the blue field
of the American flag and banked with
crimson roses. Mrs. Sampson was too
i'll to attend the services.
The funeral services were little
more than the funeral ritual Of the
Presbyterian church. AS the benedic-
ton was pronounced the body bearers
took up their burden and, followed by
the family of the deceased, the presi-
dent of the United States and his cab
met, the diplomatic body and many
notable personages, the remains were
carried out of the church and
placed in the hearse. A bugle note
gave the signal for the march, and
soon the entire long funeral process
sion was on it's way to Arlington.
The procession to Arlington lay
through the western section of the city
and historic Georgetown, whence, aft
er crossing the aqueduct bridge, it
went by way of Fort Myer to the Gem
etery. The weather was exceptionally
fine and crowds of people, approx
mating between 10000 and $4,000,
thronged the streets and country roads
and gathered about the grounds at Ar
lington. They were respectful and
reverential in their demeanor and ap-
peared to have been animated by one
common impulse, to gather to pay a
last honor to the distinguished dead,
rather than by idle curiosity.
At the grave the burial services were
simple, being confined to prayer fog
the dead, the reading of a pslam anG
music. At their conclusion the sa.
luting battery of the 4th artillery, sta
toned outside the gates, doomed out
three salvos. This salute was in lieu
of the usual volley of musketry. AS
the body was lowered into the grave,
the marine band played the beautiful
hmyn: Safe in the Arms of Jesus, -
and then followed the sounding of
taps" by a bugler stationed at the
head of the open grave. The president
and cabinet did not so to Arlington.
