THE SiTTine BULL LasTRUCTIONS.—The instructions of the Sitting Bull commission were given late yesterday afternoon to Gol. Corbin, secretary, to be delivered to General Terry, who is designated as president. Phe iestructions, after citing the circumsiances o the wat between Sitting Bull and the United States, and the retreat of the former to British territory to recuperate and renew the war, and declaring that Sitting Bull's presence there may be a source of noyance to that government, and a possi caure of diplomatic complications, say that this government is willing to treat’ with the hostile chief on the basis of a pardon for bimself and all his warriors for past of- fences, and in return demands the uacondi- tional surrender of their arms, ammunition and ponies, and that they ——— forthwith to such reservation as shali be selected by the government of the United States for them.

HOW THE FRESIDENT'S DECISION IN RE- GARD TO CORNELL ET AL IS REGARDED. The action of the Cabinet yesterday in de- ciding to remove Collector Arthur, Naval Officer Cornell, and Surveyor Sharpe, while not @ complete surprise, inasmuch as the Jay commission had made such a recom- mendation in its report to Secretary Sher- man, was gor auticipaced. There is this construction which can be put upon it, and that is that the administration has good rea- son to believe that Senator Conkling is hos- tle to it,or it would hardly have cared to give him cause for aggravation immediately preceding the holding of the republican coi- vention in the Empire state. Il is the opin- jon of @ good many, too, that Cornell's case should not bave been linked with the other ‘two, inasmuch as he had flagrantly violated the executive order, and is given the same indulgence as the others who had not. I was known to the President. so the report goes, that Corneil was anxious to be re- moved, and had placed himself purposely in the position of a recalcitrant, so that he could strengthen himself with a very large class of republicans who believe that the office-hold- ing order is wrong in spirit and degrading in its effect. There are a few who attribute the delay of summary action in Cornell's case as an evidence of weakuess on the part of the Pres- ident. They say that if the order was issued after due reflection and mature deliberation, that the penalty prescribed should have been meted out, a8 an Act Of justice to those who yielded to its requiremeéats, aad moreover to convince the people of the country that the President had faith in the spirit of the order, and was not disposed to higgie over the con- tumacy of any recalcitrant, no matter how elevated his position, politically or sociaily. ‘nose who are disposed to sustain tue Presi- dent on the other hand say that the Presi- Gent did not care to gratify Mr. Corneli’s de- Sire to gain a temporary political advantage removing him, and hence served notice upon him that he was tobe removed when Congress met. so that he might have time to prepare his defense, to be presented to the Renate. which will after ali be the adjadica- turin the case. Members of the Cabinet now here are quile reticent as to yesterday's proceedings, but the best source Of attainable information is that at the suggestion of Secretary Sherman the removal was delayed. It is said that had Cornell been summarily dismissed that he had a letter which he proposed to make pub- lic. charging that the first one to violate the executive order under which he is arraigned was his immediate superior offleer, Secre- tary Sherman, who, known to the President Gays in advance of the act, proceeted to Oilio and delivered a speech intended solely to influence the political campaign pending in Uthat state. Is THe HERO OF PLEVNA AN AMERICAN? The Baltimore Gazette of to-day bas a long account of Col. R. Clay Crawford, who, it is claimed, is no other than Osman Pash: f the Tarkish army. Crawford went to C! tertown, Kent county, Md., in 187,and pub- lished a republican paper there. He left sud- denly about 1573. rylanders in the Egyp- tien service wrote home of an American offieer known as Osman Bey in the army of the Khedive, and a personal description tal lies with that of Crawford, who was talland stalwart, with @ reckless bearing. Crawford, it is said, was a student at West Point for a time, but was expelled for stealing. +2+e- AFFAIRS IN CUBA —A letter from Hay- ana, dated Sept. 1, says: “The houses of sev_ eral Cubans tn this city and Matanzas have been searched for papers which they were suspected to have coneealed, said papers beiug in relation to some conspiracy in aid of the insurgents in the fleld. The searching of ‘ne domiciles has taken place at night, and some Cubans have been dispatched as prisoners to Santa Clara, to be there tried by court-martial. The cause of all this appears to be the discovery of several boxes of cart- ridges intended for the insurgents, while being shipped at a place called Calimete.” THE GoVEKNORS SEEING THE ELE- PHANT.—The visiting Governors were shown the elephant in New York the other night The first place visited was the Grand Duke's Opera House. About an hour was spent there and then the party adjourned to Harry Hill's. Their presence was quickly notic-d end a specia) programme improv i forthei entertainment during the course of which Jim Kelly and “Seddon’s Mouse” had a set to with the gloves, which called out loud ap- lause from the gentlemen who hail from <ansas and Wisconsin. THE San Francisco Erchange ts sticking an occasional pin in the U. 8. Senatora from Nevada. For instance “They say tat Senator John P. Jones contemplaies visiting Nevada some time next year. No doubt his constituents would be glad to sre bin Sharon had some intention of calling there on his way to Washington, but we believe that, on the advice of his physicians, he has abandoned the idea. The climate doesn’t agree with him.” Mystic PARK Races.—At the Mystic Park (Boston) races yesterday the unfinished race of Wednesday of the 2:50 class was won by Schingler. For the 2:20 class Lysander Boy won ip 2:27 4, 2:23%, 2:27. In the race for the 2.34 class there were ninestarters. Bir Charles won the first heat in 2:26, Lady D. second in 2314, Wild Lily third and fifth in 2:31 and 2:30, Roman Chief the fourth in 2:30%. Poste poned on account of darkness. ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF BALTIMOKE.—The workingmen’s pariy of Balumore last night nominated Mr. Joseph Thompson, of the firm of Thompson Bro:., blacksmiths and wheelwrights, as a candi- date for mayor of the city, muking three Richmonds in the field, and the republicans yet to hear frem through the city convention of that party, which meets on Monday night. Great enthusiasm prevailed. DREADFUL GAS Explosion —The Ph v- nix Park mine, near Minersville, Pa, was the scene of a dreadful explosion of gas last evening, which became ignited from a blast mace by one of the workmen. Eight ininers were burned, three seriously, one of whom, named John Jenkins, died soon after the ac- cident. Thomas Lloyd, a brother of the pro. | tin of the mine, is also very serlously urned. A SMART LITTLE MIs8.—A Mississippi paper says that during a recent illness of the telegraph operator at Martinsville, on the Jack-on Railroad, the office was managed by Mollie Short, who is only 10 years of age. sent messages and trains, and received orders for conductors from the train-dis- patcher’s office, ina very satisfactory man- ‘ger. BaD DAY FoR SHARKS, Too.—The Eden- ton (N. C.) Times bas this shark story: “A citizen of Dare county told us @ day or two since that one day last fall he made a haul With bis seine in the Ocean, and caught 102 sharks. The seine was only 230 yards long, and he says that twice as many sharks = landed.” That was a bad day for sharks.

Major General J. M. Schofield, command- ing the department of West Point, issued an order on the 4th instant calling particular attention of the corps of cadets to paragraph 121 of academic regulations, which prohibits any cadet from indulging in any way in the practice of hazing a cadet or candidate for admission in the Military academy. General Schofield’s order says: “It was believed that the unmanly practices denounced by that paragraph had ceased to disgrace the corps of cadets; but some recent occurrences show that the real character of such practices is bot yet fully appreciated by ail. Heuce it has become necessary to characterize them in plain terms. For the comparatively in- telligent and strong to take unfair advantage of the inexperienced, to harrass aud annoy them, is an act unworthy a civilized man, and much more unbecoming an officer and & gentleman. It is the mode in which savages treat those who fall into their power. O. the other hand to secure justice and protection to the defenceless is the office of the gentle and brave. The honor of the corps of cadets, as well as that of the officers of the academy, requires that the practice of unkind treat” ment of new cadets shall be wholly eradi- cated. Cadet officers, upon whom s0 much of the discipline and high character of the corps depend, are expected to do their whole duty in this respect. Hereafter, cadets guilty of any ylolation of paragraph 121, and cadet officers who fall to do their whole duty in rotecting new cadets from ill-treatment, will € punished to the full extent of the regula- tons. By command of Major General Schofield. Wa. M. WHERRY, Act. Axs'l. Adjt. Gen.

Butier, of counsel for Mr. » has been testing the “green corn” cMurray, in the U. ltimore, he has also from day to day been testing the same “sweet mountain corn” in @ private dining room at Barnum’s as the guest of Mr. McMurray, the cefendant, 89 that he ison both sides, with the corn inside. The dinners have been es- cially fine, but there was nothing that Gen. atler red to relish so much as ‘‘sweet. Mountain corn,” which Mr. McMurray caused each day to be brought from his farm, Belleview, near Frederick, Md. Oa one oc- casion, afier eating ered of the corn, the general Said he could not think of anything ie liked tetter than “lawsuits and sweet corn.” In this connection an amusing inci- dent occurred at the U.S. courthouse yester- day. Mr. McMurray, who is ® large, portly man, was approached by one of the bystand- ers, who shook him he artily by the hand. “I congratulate you, sir,” he said, ina hasty manner, “I congratulate you—.” “But,” said Mr. McMurray, ‘‘1 bave not yet won the case.” “No matter, sir,” he continuad, still violently shaking Mr. MeMurray’s hand, “I congratulate you for having provected Balti- more.” “Thank you,” returned Mr. McMur- ray, who thought he referred to protecting the green corn packing interest of Baltimore, “Yes, sir,” he continued, “if you hadn't d fended Baltimore where would we be now: Mr. McMurray by thi time saw the mista and politely told bis hand-shaker that he was mistaken in his man, that he could find Mr. Builer in the court-room. Mr. McMurray Was carrying @ strap full of law books, and bulk ae like the hero of Federal Hill. Bult.

The Rus- siaus were defeated, abandoned their forti- fed positions and recrossed the river ia di_- order. The commander of the Russian cav- rend was killed, and their loss was 3,000 in Killed and wounded. The Turkish lose is sald to be 200 killed and 700 wounded. +--+ The Turks report that two Herzegovinian foraging parties met at nignt near oy orp] aud mistaking each other for enemies had a fierce contest, in which 700 were killed. The Russian headquarters have been moved ‘rom Gorney Studen to Bulgareni. It is not known whether this is a Russian advance or a ayy from the neighborhood of the Jan- tra line. ANOTHER DEFENCE OF HOWARD.—The Virginia City (Nev.) En‘erprise comes to the defence of . Howard against eastern crit- icisms of the Indian campaign, saying: “It was not Howard’s tault that Gibbon bad not soldiers enough to annihilate Joseph’s band. The biame for that is due solely to the false economy which has governed army matters for some years past. Ludeed, the presence of two or three cavalry regiments at Walla. Walla last ne would have prevented the War altogether. Bat, after all, the malice which is hurled against Howard is due to Other reasons. He bas net been in the field as long as Custer was against the Sioux last year, but the papers which were loud in Cus- pty Praise daily can see no good in How- ard.” THIFRS to HAVE A PRIVATE FUNERAL.— Madame Thiers having declined to allow the French government to arrange the fu- neral cortege, the decree for a state ceremony has been annulled, and the government wiil take no part except ing to the d the military boners due the former chief of the state.

HeSays His Name Is Charles Jacobs, and that He is an Alumuas of 8 0) New YorK, Sept. 7.—The World has a spe- cial trom Fort Walsh, British Northwest territories, August 1s, which says that Sit- ting Bullaud his band are still lying be- tween otinseed yy and Wood mountain, closely watched by Major Walsh aud the mounted police. The Sioux chief knows all about the commission that is coming to meet bim, but ts reticent as to the probable upshot. He will not accept any peual con- ditiors, nor will he band himself over to the commission without satisfactory guarantees of his future. The Sioux have utterly fail in tampering with the loyalty of the Indian tribes on this side the line, but efforts with the Northern Montana tribes have, it is feared, been attended with some success; and great uneasiness prevails at Fort Ben- ton and the region round about. Sitting Ball, however, will not say what he intends to do, further than that he will see the com- mission if he be in the same mind then that he ts in vow, and that after that he will be uided solely by circamstances. His fo'- fowers are excited by Joseph's success, and are ulso cognizant of the fact that trouble is feared from the tribes in the Okanagan dis- trict of British Columbia, just across the line. The Fort Benton people seem to think that a general Indian war is imminent, but the police here have reason to believe that this threatening aspect of affairs will not long continue. In conversation after dinner with one of the police officers the other day Sitting Bull said that he was a native of Fort Garry, and an alumnus of St. John’s college there—statements which he himself aflerward confirmed.

Several old traders who have had a look at him declare that they remember him well as Charlie Jacebs, a balf-breed, who attended the college in its infancy thirty years ago. This young Jacobs was of Ojibway birth, aud was @ remarkably intelligent lad, with ambition to become a “big Injun.” He dis- appeared from Fort Garry about 1553. When asked by the police officer if he recollected anything about Fort Garry, Sitting Bull laughed heartily, and said he knew the pris cipal there, paming many of them. ple Sitting Bull says his father, Henry Jacobs, was at one time employed as interpreter by Father Preulz on Manitoulin Island, but whether the old gentleman is dead or not he oes not know. Sitting Bull is thoroughly familiar with French and English and sev- eral Indian languages. He is about 42or 43 years of age, a meiium-sized, athletic- built man, Of bo distinguishing traits beyond those always found in the half-breed. He is an excellent eonversationalist, and will talk on every subject but his plans for the future.

The men positively as- sert Ubat they will listen to no offer which does not concede to them the twenty-five per cent. advance demanded. This means a ‘ong lockout, for it is positively certaia that tbe companies ip this tocality will make no further attempts at compromise. Aiready the agricaliural districts are beginning to the sorry effects of lawless demands. Bands of so-called committees are scattered all through the country, and wherever their Tequests for provisions are met with denial or reluctance, force is cailedto play. Barns, orchards, stockyards and ceilars are indis- criminately plundered. Valuabie cows are Killed and their hides left where they were slaughtered. Itinerant ers are plundered of their packs. Potato flelds are invaded and their produce carried off. Tuese thi becoming matters of daily occurrence, and are exciting the worst apprehensions. It is re; to-night that wholesale arrests by the military are soon to be mae, wh»n it is thought bloodshed will follow,as many of the idlers have been drilling nightly for weeks past, undoubtedly preparing to repel such action en the part of the authorities. —_-—_—_.
