The Driest October on Record in This District. ONLY SIX-HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN- ¢ FALL THIS MONTH SO FAR. A very accurate record of the dally rainfall or precipitation 18 kept at the signal office, where as small a quantity as the one-bun- dredth part of an inch is measured. Upon in- quiry there to-day a Srag reporter was in- Jormed that the present month promises to be the driest October on record for Wastington. Since the organization of the weather bureau | of the signal service, in 1870, n0 month of October has such a small percentaxe of raintall according to the records as October, 1886,us far asithas gone. ‘The average sall of rain during that mouth has been three inches, but so far butsix-hundredths of an inch has faden, in two small showers, During the night of Octo- ber 14th there was a shower lasting about half an hour, with a precipitation of two oue-hun- dredihs Of au ineb, and again on te morning O1 the 21sta sight’ suower occurred, but the rainfall measured only tour one-uundredius of un inch, OL course the record may be easily broken by asinartshower beiore the first of November, but unless one arrives October, 1886, Will be Lie driest of Octovers on record ‘Que largest amount of rain recorded in tuat month previously wos 16.50 inches in 18: while the lightest previous fail was .20 in 1o74. THE COUNTRY SUFFERING FOR KAIN. ‘The country in the neighborhood ot this city is suffering for rain, but there are no indications of a break in the dry spell. Last month was also very dry here, and the precipitation was 2.2 inenes below the normal averaye, which 1s | 4.14, so thus the rainall last mouul amounted W ouly 1.9 Incues. The lowest rainfuil in Liat month on record—tourteen-uundredihs of an s—Was in 1884,and the uiuest 10.81 in 1876. Duriug the past two moutus there has fallen fo tuts vicluity less than two iuches of rain, Which is far below the average for the single aiouth of October, and only half of that Usuyl for September. THE NORTH CAROLINA SHOWERS FROM A CLEAR SKY. Presuming that the weather bureau had solved the mystery, THE STAR man suggested that Washington follow the example of Chur- lotte, N. C., where, accordiug to reports, they havea daily shower at exactly 3 o'clock trum & cioudless sky in the Vicinity of two ouk trees, None of the sigual service officials were, how- ever, able to solve the problem. Notwithstand- ing the tact that Sergeant Burry, at Churlotte, hud nade a report Wo tue office contirmiug Ub reports v1 the phenomena suower, he did not attempt to explain tt, being completely myst fed, atid none of the otticlals here were disposed to oifer an explanation. ‘They wanted to see it rst vetore they wouid ever velieve it, Reports or a fall of rain from a cloudless sky ure ire- quently received from station observers, but uone have been attended with tue saine regu larity aud peculiar circumstacces us the daily Shower at Charlotte.

GEN, MILES’ REPORT OF THESURRENDER—GERO- NIMO TOLD HE MUST TRUST TO THE GOVE! ‘MENT’S MERCY. Gen. Miles’ report goes ininutely into deserip~ tions of the dashes made from time to time at the retreating Indians, and refers to the services of several officers who carried out bis orders creditably. About the surrender and the as- Surances to the captives he says: “While en route to join Lawton’s command Geronimo had sent bis own brother with the interpreter w Fort Bowie to see me, and, if not aS hostage, as an assurance of their submission aid desire to surrender,and ax an earnest of Uneir yood faith. Soon after reaching Lawton’s command Geronimo came into our camp and dismounted. Then, coming forward unarmed, he recounted his grievauces and the cause of leaving the reservation. Ho stated that he b been ubused and assailed by the officials, a that a plot had been iaid to take his life by Chatto and Mickey Free, encouraged by one of the offictals; that it was ‘a qu die on the war-path or be assassinate that ume he was cultivating a crop, and if be had not been driven away he would by this time have been in good circumstances. A part of this story I knew to be true. Tintormed bim that Capt. Lawion and Lieut.

Tinformea them I Was removing all the Chiricahua ana Warm Spring Indians from Arizona, and that they would all be removed from ‘this country once and forall Ume. Geronimo replied that he would do whatever I said, obey any order and bring iu his camp early’ next morning, which he did, Natchez sent !n word request @ puss of twenty days to go to the White moun- tains, but this was refused. They hud ‘ound troops in every vailey, aud when they saw heliographic communications flashing across every mountain range Geronimo and others sent word ty Natchez that be bad better come in at once and surrender. Nuichez was wild and suspicious, and evidently seared treachery. Since the establishment of the government there have been two methods or poileles of deul- ing with the Indians—one hoiding them indi- vidually responsible for their acts and amena- ble to the local laws, subject to arrest and pun- ishment; the otier, the alinost universal policy where thelr offenses have assumed the nature of an in-urrection, to use the military forces against them asa people and by the devasta Uons of wur and the destruction of their prop- erty and the imprisonment of the whole tribe, or banishment from thelr native councry to fectually subjugate and punish them as one body. Such men as Natchez and Geronimo occupy the sume status us Red Cloud, who led tue Fort Fette:man massacre; Cuict Joseph, Rain-in-the-fuce, spotted Eagle, sitting Bull and thousands of others, many of whom have burned and mutilated their living victims. Ar- bitrury and absolute banishment is a severe punishment for any people, and its effect upon, neighboring tribes has been very salutory here- tofore in otuer parts of ‘be country.” THE HEALIA OFFICER.
