Although for several years the rush of newcomers to our shores has fallen far short of what it was at former periods, yet the statistics of the last fiscal twelfemonth, as made up at the Treasury Department, come somewhat as a surprise. The last year had shown a marked gain over 1895, and it had seemed as though flood tide had again set in. But now we find not only a decrease of about one-third from the figures of the previous year, but a total so low that we must go back nearly twenty years to find a parallel for it. The highest record of immigrants, excluding the arrivals of aliens not so classed, is that of 1882, when the prodigious number of 788,992 came, following the previous year's 669,431, till then unprecedented. In 1883 there was a heavy falling off to 603,322, and the decrease went on until 334,203 was reached in 1886. Then the tide again turned, and with some variations another climax was reached in 1892, when the figures were 623,084, the third highest mark in our history, and not far behind that of 1881. But then began another ebb, with 502,917 in 1893, followed by 314,467, then by 279,948, then by 343,267, and now this year by an astonishing reduction to 230,832. We find, in looking back through the records of former years, nothing as low as this until 1879 is reached. That year brought us only 177,826 immigrants, and the records of the three years preceding had been even lower. But the period between 1875 and 1879 inclusive, is the only one since the civil war which shows an immigration so small as that of the fiscal year recently ended. "Let me give you a pointer," said Mr. F. Gregg, a popular conductor on the Missouri Pacific railroad. "Do you know that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cures you when you have the stomach ache? Well, if does." And after giving this friendly bit of advice, the jolly conductor passed on down the aisle. It is a fact that thousands of railroad and traveling men never take a trip without a bottle of this Remedy, which is the best cure for bowel disorders in the world. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by P.

Miss Hoppin Sat Down in the Tennis Court and Her Mother Pried it off. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 19.—Miss Clara Hoppin of New Haven, who is stopping at a cottage at Pine Grove Camp Ground at Canaan in Litchfield county, was playing tennis on one of the courts near the grove. The ball bounded into some high grass near the court. She went after it, and when she emerged one of her girl companions noticed something like a vine trailing along behind her skirt. She called Miss Hoppin's attention to it. Miss Hoppin looked around, but it seemed to have fallen off. Nothing more was thought of it and the game was continued. After playing for about fifteen minutes Miss Hoppin felt a peculiar sensation in one of her legs. She seemed to be loosing control of it. She raised her skirt and was astonished to see the head of a snake, with its tongue darting out and in, just above the top of the boots she wore. She called to the girls to come. They gathered about her. How to get the snake off was the question. There were no men in the neighborhood to call for. One of the girls started for the grove for help. Before she returned Mr. DR. MOORE ON THE GRILL Dishonest Methods of His "School of Osteopathy" Exposed in Los Angeles. Dr. Moore and his so-called "School of Osteopathy" have run across a large-sized snake in Los Angeles, and the papers are exposing him in a particularly aggravating manner. From the city papers of Saturday last we learn that a complaint has been filed in the County Clerk's office by Peter Hanes against the Pacific School of Osteopathy and Infirmary, charging the company with fraud and gross misrepresentation and praying for judgment against the company in the sum of $686 90. The complaint sets forth that during the month of June last Hanes was approached at Kirksville, Mo., by a man giving his name as F. B. Duffey and representing himself as the general solicitor of the above-named corporation. Duffey succeeded in interesting Hanes in the idea of taking a course of studies at the school, representing the Los Angeles institution to be a branch of the main school at Kirksville and one of the largest in the world. To add weight to his claim, Duffey, it is alleged, exhibited a copy of a publication issued by Moore's concern, upon the back of which appeared a large half-tone illustration of the Phillips block, half of which was said to be occupied as studies, operating rooms, lecture halls, etc., by the school. Several well-known medical men were represented to compose the faculty of the institution, among them being Dr. B. W. Scheurer, who some time ago severed his connection with the outfit. Upon the strength of these glowing representations, backed up by a strong desire to take a course of osteopathy, Hanes entered into a contract with Duffey for a two-years' course, paid $300 as a tuition fee and came to Los Angeles immediately, accompanied by his wife. Upon his arrival in Los Angeles Lena Collinsworth of Claybury county, Tenn., died some days ago after the effects of a fifty-day fast. She been starving herself to death under vow. She quarreled with her husband separated from him and vowed she would fast until he returned to her. The forts of friends and relatives to get to eat have been of no avail. Herbert French, former postmaster at Glendale, near Los Angeles, is seen in his accounts to the extent of $400. The shortage was discovered by Kate Office Inspector Flint. French's bookmen at once paid the amount. Because of his youth, the postmaster was prosecuted. The postmaster-genius appointed Dr. C. V. Bogue to ceeed French. Two new sizes of postal cards soon to be issued, sealed proposals for new four years' contract for cards having been opened at Washington ton some days ago. The new size be $3x51; 1,000,000,000 will be issued. The Department has also resolved issue a second card of a size smaller than the standard. It will be in 2 and 15-16 by 4 and 15-16 inches; 2000,000 will be issued. John L. Sullivan will run as an independent candidate for Mayor of Boston with the intention, if not himself be elected, of defeating Mayor Joel Quincy, who will be the regular Democratic candidate for re-election. Wiley Mayor Quincy refused to shake hands with John L., a native of Boston Oarsman Teneycke's reception at Ewell hall, he committed what may prove to be a political mistake, for Sulli will run against him. O. T. Simmons, a well-known real estate broker of Wichita, Kan., died that city on Friday from the effects swallowing a plate of three false three years ago. The post-mortem amination disclosed the fact that teeth were still lodged in the esophagus. This peculiar accident made impossible for Mr. Simmons to eat dinary food and forced him to live tirelessly on liquids. The swallowing even liquid food always caused inta pain.

She raised her skirt and was astonished to see the head of a snake, with its tongue darting out and in, just above the top of the boots she wore. She called to the girls to come. They gathered about her. How to get the snake off was the question. There were no men in the neighborhood to call for. One of the girls started for the grove for help. Before she returned Mrs. Hoppin, the mother, arrived. She did not hesitate to attack the snake. She told her daughter to sit down and draw her skirts close about her above the knees. Then she secured a stout stick and went to work to pry the snake off. At first it was not successful, the snake clinging tenaciously. As the work of removing the snake progressed Miss Hoppin became nervous. “If that horrid thing isn’t off there in a minute I’ll certainly die,” she said. Her girl companions stood around armed with stout sticks and with their skirts held up to their knees and close around them. When Mrs. Hoppin was about to give up the job the snake let up on its hold a little, and she managed to get the stick in such a position that she loosened the coil. The snake gave up and slipped off to the ground and darted away in the weeds and escaped. Just after the snake ran away a young minister, who is stopping at the groove, arrived with the girl who had gone for help. He was armed with a revolver and shotgun. Mrs. Hoppin says the snake was fully three feet long. There are deep ridges in Miss Hoppin’s leg where the snake wound itself around, and for hours it was badly swollen. Farmers living near the grove say it was a garter snake. The tennis courts at Pine Grove are deserted now. SILVER’S DECLINE. Its Great Depreciation is Ruining Mexican Merchants—Talk of Repudiation. NEW YORK, August 20.—A dispatch from Mexico city says: Exchange on New York has reached 145 premium. In other words, it takes $2.45 Mexican money to buy an American dollar containing less silver than the Mexican. This enormous depreciation of the Mexican dollar is ruining merchants. They are cancelling all orders for imports and many will close their stores, as they cannot sell the stock on hand at a rate high enough to replenish them. They believe the price is unnaturally depressed and is due to conspiracy abroad. Meanwhile home manufactures are booming, as the depreciation in silver makes a high tariff wall. Coffee, sugar, tobacco and sisal hemp planters are prosperous; they sell abroad for gold and pay their laborers in silver. Strange to say the Mexican dollar buys as much goods as ever it did except of the imported variety. The government is hard hit as it has to pay the interest on a foreign debt in gold. There is some talk of repudiation, but there is no knowing what President Diaz will do. He may refund the 6 per cent debt, paying only 3 percent hereafter. Capitalists are flocking into the country to take advantage of the high premium and invest their gold. The belief here is that labor paid in Miss Hoppin looked around, but it seemed to have fallen off. Nothing more was thought of it and the game was continued. After playing for about fifteen minutes Miss Hoppin felt a peculiar sensation in one of her legs. She seemed to be loosing control of it. She raised her skirt and was astonished to see the head of a snake, with its tongue darting out and in, just above the top of the boots she wore. She called to the girls to come. They gathered about her. How to get the snake off was the question. There were no men in the neighborhood to call for. One of the girls started for the grove for help.

Her girl companions stood around armed with stout sticks and with their skirts held up to their knees and close around them. When Mrs. Hoppin was about to give up the job the snake let up on its hold a little, and she managed to get the stick in such a position that she loosened the coil. The snake gave up and slipped off to the ground and darted away in the weeds and escaped. Just after the snake ran away a young minister, who is stopping at the groove, arrived with the girl who had gone for help. He was armed with a revolver and shotgun. Mrs. Hoppin says the snake was fully three feet long. There are deep ridges in Miss Hoppin’s leg where the snake wound itself around, and for hours it was badly swollen. Farmers living near the grove say it was a garter snake. The tennis courts at Pine Grove are deserted now. Investigation into the matter reveals some startling facts. Moore, who is head and front of the whole concern, and who, according to the Los Angeles papers, served less than a year in the Kirksville institution as a student, represents the organization as being a corporation with a capitalization of $100,000, $20,000 which is said to be paid up. The records in the office of the Secretary of State do not show that such a corporation was ever organized or ever existed. The name of Dr. B. W. Scheurer appears as president of the concern. Dr. Scheurer’s name was used without his knowledge and consent. The Citizens’ Bank of Los Angeles is put down in the pamphlet as treasurer. The cashier of the bank is unaware of the existence of the Pacific School of Osteopathy and Infirmary and does not know Dr. Aubrey C. Moore. A.J.Write, the cashier, was seen in connection with the matter.“This is all news to me,” he remarked to a Los Angeles newspaper reporter.“None of the parties named has any account with us.As far as I know we have never received from or paid to any one of them a single cent.The have evidently used the name of the bank for the purpose of gaining standing abroad. This is a popular scheme among all swindlers doing business on such lines.” In the pamphlet in the possession of Mr.Hanes the statement appears that a contract has been entered into with the city of Los Angeles for all the unclaimed bodies received at the morgue, to be used for dissection purposes and class study.No such contract was ever entered into between “school” and municipality. Indeed,the whole scheme appears to be the rankest of fakes from start to finish.Of the long list of names represented as those of the faculty,not one appears in the city directory.Even the eminent “Dr.”Moore,himself.is unknown in Los Angeles outside the Phillips building,save to Hanes and other victims. Moore conducted a“school”at Anaheim for a year prior to his advent in Los Angeles,but he made a failure of undertaking and sought more verdant pastures.The president ofthe Kirksville institution,从which book life in jeopardy,Harrold slipped dress on over his clothes and appeared in the doorway.I instantly he grabbed and tightly held while shots were fired at him,four taking feat fatally.The woman states that negro some weeks ago attempted to sault her,and threatened to slay Hrold if she refused him again.T man she believes to be the guilty son.No arrests have been made.

All kinds of real estate is rapidly advancing in price and the demand for masons and contractors is large. Attention is also being directed to tropical agriculture. Friday night heavy firing at sea off St. Augustine, Fla., by rapid-firing guns and the rays of a searchlight brought out the people of the city. The whole affair was carefully noted by the officers of the first artillery from their quarters and they are positive the vessel fired not less than forty shots. at first rapidly and then at short intervals, as if the object of the chase were caught. Then the rapid firing was repeated. The ship, presumably a war vessel, could not come nearer than five miles off the shore, and was evidently chasing a light-draft boat, as the flashes came from the starboard guns. The coast is indented by a sand strip, reaching out to about one mile off the bar. The St. Augustine bar had seven feet at the stage of the tide when the firing commenced, which would have prevented the coming over of the Three Friends or Dauntless, were those vessels chased. There was only four feet of water in Matanzas Inlet, and unless a vessel could make the harbor she would either have to put to sea or surrender. For this reason indications point to the fleeing boat taking an easterly course. When the firing commenced a squall was on and the night was very dark. A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea. In 1862, when I served my country as a private, in Company A, 167th Pennsylvania Volunteers, I contracted chronic diarrhoea. It has given me a great deal of trouble ever since. I have tried a dozen different medicines and several prominent doctors without any permanent relief. Not long ago a friend sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after that I bought and took a 50-cent bottle; and now I can say that I am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful enough to you for this great Remedy, and recommend it to all suffering veterans. If in doubt write me. You're gratefully, HENRY STEINBERGER, Allentown, Pa. Sold by P. A. Derge. Indeed, the whole scheme appears to be the rankest of fakes from start to finish. Of the long list of names represented as those of the faculty, not one appears in the city directory. Even the eminent "Dr." Moore, himself, is unknown in Los Angeles outside the Phillips building, save to Hanes and other victims. Moore conducted a "school" at Anaheim for a year prior to his advent in Los Angeles, but he made a failure of the undertaking and sought more verdant pastures. The president of the Kirksville institution, from which Moore emerged a "short-term graduate" has placed his opinion of his former student in writing, characterizing him as a pretty sleek fellow and inclined to be wild and unreliable. The exact number of victims ensnared since the "doctor" started up business in Los Angeles cannot be definitely stated, but it is known that a corps of agents are constantly in the field working on liberal commissions. Joseph Rogers of Los Angeles, whose wife left him three days after his marriage to her and has since been eluding his pursuit, does not propose to resign himself to his forlorn condition. From the day his wife made her unceremonious departure, Rogers has contended that her mother was the instigator of the desertion; if not actually the abductor of her daughter. Though notes have come from her saying she did not love Rogers and asserting that she only married him because he exercised a hypnotic spell over her, the devoted husband charges all her unwifely actions to his mother-in-law. Failing in his attempt to reclaim his Annette, Rogers has begun a damage suit against her mother, Mrs. Elmira Lewis, to recover $20,000 for enticing his wife away from him and harboring her.

Some time ago Mendocino county brought suit against J. R. Johnson's county tax collector, for $3000; Johnson's deputy, Handy, claimed he had paid that amount to Court Treasurer Ford December 11th; years ago, but took no receipt. Seeds days after that date Handy took $575; to the treasurer and demanded an ceipt for $60,000; the receipt to cover $3000 he said he had paid December 11th; Ford disclaimed all collection of the $3000 payment, but being advised by a Ukian banker, who was handy when the latter went to law office, gave the desired receipt. Seeds sequentially the treasurer found her $3000 short. Further inquiry satisfied the banker that it was a previous casion that Handy had paid the treasurer $3000 in his presence. The case was tried before Judge Dougherty Santa Rosa and the jury found Johnson's deputy had not paid over $3000 as claimed. The case will probably go to the Supreme Court.

For two nights and days he had been alone in the forest with his dead brother, who was accidentally shot in the head with his own gun on Wednesday. The injured man lived two hours, and the living brother was then alone in the primeval forest with the dead. After sundown it was dark in the forest, and the light of a candle had to be used to pick a trail through the forest. The trying circumstances almost prostrated the surviving brother. Frank Brooks, aged 25, son of Volney Brooks of Hollister, San Benito county, was instantly killed by lightning on Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. He came to the door of his home, accompanied by his father, and both were struck down. The father regained consciousness soon after and found his son dead. H. G. Blake, a gambler, made a proposition to the Albany Argus to find John Conway, a boy who had been kidnapped some days before for $2500. His offer was accepted and he guided the reporters to a lonely spot where they found the boy. There was great excitement on the return of the party. John Hardy, a relative of the boy, has been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the plot. Judge Dougherty of Sonoma last week rendered his decision in the famous Stofen case, denying the defendant's motion for a new trial. Stofen was treasurer of Sonoma county and three years ago was found unconscious and locked up in a vault of the office in the court house, claiming that he had been robbed of eight thousand dollars. The county brought suit against him and his bondsmen for the amount of shortage, but Stofen by way of defense, set up the theory of robbery.

Lightning has been very atal in the section about Fort Ogden, Fla., the past month, no less than eight people having been killed by it. Many strange incidents are related, the most extraordinary being a story from across the Kissimmee river told about in the papers some days ago. Henry Meyers was killed by lightning there two weeks ago while in a field and buried the next day. The second day a heavy thunderstorm arose. His grave was struck, the lightning tearing open the grave, throwing the coffin out and breaking it open. It was thus found two days later by some relatives and the body reburied. The body was not disfigured by the last electric bolt, but the coffin had been torn to pieces, the body being left on top of the upturned earth with the splintered coffin fragments around it. The story is vouched for by several people from that section. The story published to the effect that Angelina Cassio Claneros, a Cuban girl, the niece of the Cuban President, has been sentenced at Havana to twenty years' imprisonment in Ceuta is premature. It has made Gen. Weyler, in whose hands the whole case rests, highly indignant and has prejudiced him against her. The man Berris, who attempted to betray the girl and who, because she refused his advances, caused her imprisonment, is a nephew of the present Prime Minister of Spain, and every effort is being made to hush up the matter. Mrs. J. W. Howe of New York has appealed to the Pope in a letter asking him to interfere to save the girl, who is said to be about to be transported to Spanish dungeons of Ceuta Mrs. Jefferson Davis has written a letter to the Queen of Spain making a similar request. It is reported on the best of authority that General James G. Longstreet is engaged to be married to Miss Ellen Dortch of Atlanta, Ga., Assistant State Librarian. Miss Dortch is a guest at the Ray cottage at Lithia Springs, Ga., a popular summer resort a few miles from Atlanta. Immediately following her advent at Lithia, General John L., a native of Boston, at Janan Teneycke's reception at Fanall, he committed what may prove a political mistake, for Sullivan against him. R. Simmons, a well-known real eskoker of Wichita, Kan., died in city on Friday from the effects of swine a plate of three false teeth years ago. The post-mortem exhumation disclosed the fact that she were still lodged in the aesopha. This peculiar accident made it visible for Mr. Simmons to eat or food and forced him to live on liquids. The swallowing of liquid food always caused intense Eventually his stomach rebelled at food of any sort and he literally lived to death.

Arney Louis Titus of San Francisco just begun his third collegial at the University of California student by proxy. For one year was a regular student at Berkeley extending the university in person. He passed the examinations for motion for a new trial. Stoken was treasurer of Sonoma county and three years ago was found unconscious and locked up in a vault of the office in the court house, claiming that he had been robbed of eight thousand dollars. The county brought suit against him and his bondsmen for the amount of shortage, but Stofen by way of defense, set up the theory of robbery. The court held that robbery was not proven and gave judgment for plaintiff. The case will probably be appealed to the supreme court. Private advices from Nicaragua are that Costa Rica and Guatemala will in all probability refuse to proceed further with the scheme for the consolidation of the five republics of Central America into one nation, and that the present greater republic, comprising Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua, will disintegrate at an early date. The intense jealousy existing between Costa Rica and the States composing the greater republic of Central America, in which Guatemala participates to a lesser degree, is given as the reason for the possible failure to carry out the agreement. Upon the formal announcement of the refusal of Costa Rica and Guatemala to enter the union the present combination of Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua is expected to collapse and the result, it is feared, will be a state of war that extend to all the countries of Central America. A special from San Antonio, Texas, says: F. P. Gonzales, editor of El Grito del Pueblo, a Spanish paper, published in the town of Beeville, is in receipt of a letter of recent date from an influential friend in Mexico in which it is stated that the authorities have discovered an Italian amarchist has just arrived in that country with the intention of taking the life of President Diaz. The anarchist, the letter says, is kept under the strictest surveillance and will be arrested at the first demonstration he makes or as soon as the chain of evidence can be linked a little closer. The letter is from an official in the City of Mexico, and Mr. Gonzales vouches for his reliability. It is believed that the anarchist who has marked President Diaz for his victim belongs to the bloody band whose aim is to assassinate all the rulers of the great nations and that his coming to America is in pursuance of a general plan. Dr. Charles Perry and Miss Emma White, who reside ten miles south of Shelbyville, Ind., had been suitors many months, against the wishes of the young lady's parents. The doctor and the young lady decided to marry, and through a friend, he arranged for Emma to meet him in a blackberry patch a mile from her home. When the girl arrived, the doctor appeared with two bicycles. Securing his prize, he started toward Shelbyville. Soon after they had departed they were surprised to hear a report of a revolver behind them. Looking back, they saw Emma's father on a bicycle in hot pursuit. They hastened their speed, as did the old man. He fired another shot from his revolver and punctured the tire of the girl's wheel. The doctor placed her on the handlebars of his wheel, and the race was on again. They soon distanced the irate parent and were made one long before he arrived in town, completely winded.

R. Johnson, county tax collector, for $3000. Johnson's deputy, Handy, claimed that he paid that amount to County Sheriff Ford December 11th, two days ago, but took no receipt. Seven letters that date Handy took $57,000 for treasurer and demanded a recof $60,000, the receipt to cover $800 he said he had paid December 2nd. Ford disclaimed all recollection of $3000 payment, but being advised Ukiah banker, who was with him when the latter went to his grave the treasurer found he was short. Further inquiry satisfied Baker that it was a previous occasion that Handy had paid the treasury $3000 in his presence. The case ended before Judge Dougherty at Ross and the jury found that Johnson's deputy had not paid over the claim. The case will probably be to the Supreme Court. Battling exploded half a ton of white and 1500 pounds of powder at the magazine, near Port Colborne, at 5:30 o'clock Friday morning. Videos of the lake experienced a sudden of earthquake, and dispatches of an earthquake came in all the neighboring towns. The mine was about a mile and a half from Port Colborne. It stood beside the factory, which has been closed months. Beside the factory stood Kilin. The watchman was in the back escaped unhurt, though hundreds of stone and earth were into the air. The watchman on the ground rolled for half a minute. Explosion frightened the people of Colborne from their beds, broke windows in every house in town, burned china and glassware and fired pictures off the walls. The canal was agitated. No one injured. Holly brothers, Frank and Harley, of Polo, Ogle county, Ill., left Washington, some days ago prospecting expedition up Mount Hale. Walter returned on Saturday night the dead body of Frank. He they hastened their speed, as did the old man. He fired another shot from his revolver and punctured the tire of the girl's wheel. The doctor placed her on the handlebars of his wheel, and the race was on again. They soon distanced the irate parent and were made one long before he arrived in town, completely wined. The Argonaut, the submarine boat launched at the yard of the Columbian company at Baltimore, is one of the most unique ever constructed. It is intended for commercial work, increasing the exploration of the bottom of rivers, lakes and bays and even seas for wrecking work. The cigar-shaped hull has two big iron wheels attached to it near the bow. The edges of the wheels are corrugated like those of a cog wheel. A smaller wheel of a similar character is attached to the boat at the stern. The wheels are intended to enable the vessel to run along ever the bottom of rivers and other bodies of water, the propeller of the vessel supplying the necessary motive power. The boat will be so arranged that divers can come in and go out of the vessel while she is on the bottom of rivers. She is thirty-six feet long and nine feet in diameter, built of steel and strongly ribbed to resist the water pressure. She is propelled when on the surface by a gasoline engine of thirty-horse power. Her speed is estimated at eight miles an hour on the surface and about five miles on the bottom. She will have a fuel capacity for a run of about 2000 miles. It is claimed that one man can handle her if necessary. The lightning of Thursday evening played many strange acts about Stockton. A barbed-wire fence near Crow's Landing was struck by a bolt of lightning and the wire was torn from the posts for over a quarter of a mile. Telephone wires at the bridge were melted and a grain field set on fire, but rain soon extinguished the flames. Trees were split open in that vicinity which was probably visited with greater force by an electrical storm than any other section of this State. A barn owned by George Waterman was struck by lightning and burned. The bolt was attracted by an iron rod, and the whole building was in flames in an instant. Several tons of grain and a buggy were burned. Nine persons who were working a hay-baler, about one hundred yards from the barn were thrown to the ground and badly dazed. All were rendered sick by the shock, but none were seriously injured. The lightning flashed terrifically in and about Folsom, and at the prison caused some uneasiness. It was more like an eastern thunder storm than the residents had ever experienced in this State. A streak of lightning entered Frankfort, Ky., where he went to secure permission for 1200 Cherokee braves to march into the State and hold a week's celebration in honor of Chief Watohona at a place three miles distant from Russellville, where the great warrior is said to have been killed in 1749 in a battle with the Shawnees. The name of Watohona is reversed above all other Cherokee chiefs. Next month 1200 of the tribe, accompanied by Captain Raleigh, will begin the long march to the old battlefield and will carry with them their legends and war souvenirs of Chief Watohona which they will deposit on his grave. The deposit of mementoes and tribal reliies is said to be due to the belief recently taught the Cherokees by an old and withered medicine man, that the tribe is doomed to complete extinction within a few years. The march will be taken up about Sept. 20th, in time to reach the battlefield on the anniversary day of the fight, Nov. 3d. Gen. Miles has been heard from at the War Department on the results of his observations with the Turkish forces during the late war between Greece and Turkey. He has forwarded two preliminary reports, in which he treats briefly of the extent of loss on both sides, the strategy and maneuvers employed, and has also something to say on the fighting qualities of the two armies. Both reports have been sent to the Secretary of War and the President at Lake Champlain and are to be followed later by more exhaustive and detailed statements of everything bearing on the war gathered by the General and his staff. Besides reports on the Turkish war, Gen. Miles will prepare separate reports upon his inspection tour of the British military garrisons after the Queen's jubilee, and also give his opinion of the German military methods. Russia's forces will receive his attention in a report on his return home. The General will probably remain abroad until the early autumn maneuuvres of the German army, in order to witness the tactics employed and watch the movements of the largest body of men he has probably seen together in Europe. At last accounts Gen. Miles was in Russia, where every chance to observe the equipment and study the methods employed by the military there was being afforded him.
