Things in That Strange Land us Repre- sented by the Latest Explorer. “The people of Tibet have the funniest way of making tea you ever beard of,” said Lieut. Rockhill, that far-away country’s most recent explorer, toa Stam reporter. “To begin with, the tes they use comes from western China in the shape of bricks, which are pressed into such convenient shape for carrying overland. All sorts of teas are made into bricks for pur- poses of transportation across Asia, it being very well understood by connoisseurs in the herb that a sea trip spoils it, But the tea im- ported into Tibet isof very poor quality asa rule. There is in itas much weight of twigs as of leaves, “Having pounded s portion of the brick tea in some sort of mortar, the Tibetan housewife puts it ine large copper vessel and there per- mits it to boil over a fire made from dry manure. The resulting solution she pours into a queer-looking wooden churn through a coarse willow basket that serves as a strainer. To the Te the li uid in the churn, before proceeding e adds a portion of butter and some ie the taicmare’ fe thee. shameed up in ordinary fashion and, when it is thoroughly mixed, is into a tea potof bronze. From the tea pot it is dispensed into the little Seat vessels which each Tibetan carries with him or her. ONE DISH FOR EVERYTHING. “The cup-shaped vessel I refer to is usually of wood, sometimes lined with silver. Tibetans employ it not only as their sole drinking uten- sil, but also as a dish for solid food. Wha: they consume mainly as asubstantial di-: is parched barley. When a gentleman of Tib +t feels hun- sry he sits down and, taking from s leather pouch a portion of barley, he mies a little water with it, and, stirring it up into a dough, eats it in that shape. Thus hunger is satistied and he goes on his way rejoicing. In what we call the pleasures of the table the Tibetan takes no stock whatever. There never was a typical Asistic yet who cared anything about amusement in the ordinary sense of the word. a Sast ee Oe theater—there is no such institution in the land of the lamas. Nor does he indulge in any other rational enjoyment of civilization, Leg og he does not scorn what might be called primary vices, HABITS OF THE PROPLE. “Tibet is a very cold country, but its inbabit- ‘ants do not warm themselves by the consumption Offuel.

Miles in his argument before the Indian affairs committee as to what he thinks best for the welfare of Apache prisoners now at Mount Vernon, Ala., made statements in regard to the habits, peculiarities and ways of these Indians with which I differ, and I think I am entitled to speak on this subject, as 1 passed the best years of my life m service with and against them. The general said scouts won't hunt | their Indian brethren. Ihave known Indians i to bring in the heads of thetr own chiefs when | commanded to do so, I have known an Indian scout to shoot his own brother when he was on duty. The brother tried to kill the clerk of the agency. a man named Sweeney. Scouts Buford ordered the scout to stop him. He called to him to stop, but not being obeyed he shot him dead. In the face of these and | milar facts the genera) said these | scouts can't be trusted, but I day they can. have proved faithful where the handling them understood their business aud the people they were dealing with. 1! good and bad in all, and [ say doa't conde community for the few rascals that may be in it. He said they kill for tho suke of killiag. If he ever saw Indians on the war path he nover saw one who would not kill any of the white race and thiuk hinwelf jastitied in doing 40, a8 he looks at them all ‘as caemies of bis race. All Indian tribes are alike iu that, but the Chiricahuas do not sealp, or burn at the stake, or bury people alive inant hills upto their necks, as Gen, Miles said they do. Ax for morals, they wre on an equal footing with the other tribes of the west and wre far better than the Yumag, the ‘fontos and Mojavos, who, 1 think, are the worst of all the Indians I have ever seen, THE OUTBREAKS. Tho first general outbreak from the San Car- los agency was in 1874, but the scouts did not all leave, as Gen. Miles said, but were the means of bringing in those that bad loft. The reason for the outbreak was fear. Au Indian who had a grudge against Lieut Almy shut him and left for the mountains. The others ee came frightened, thinking they would bo ished for thy deed. There were uo Chirical ee im that outbreak, for there were nove at the San Carlos ageney. ‘hey were at their agency in the Chiricuhus mountains. Chief Hoo left that place in 1876 for uld Mexico. Chatto, Bonito, Nalizyy, Natchez and Geronimo with their bands were moved to the San Carlos in the | spting of 1876 and they remained theré steadily until om Aree he 181. Geronimo left San Carlos iu 1877, but he went alone, having killeda White Mountain Indian in a private difficulty and being afraid of retaliation. He jomed Hoo in Mexico and came back with hun in the fall of 1878, sur- Tendering to Capt, Haskell of Gen. Wilcox's The bands of Hoo, Chatto, Bonito, Nalizay, Geronimo and Nutchez, therefore, were not raiding, as said. from 1876 to September, 188], but were at San Carlos and in old Mexico, where they were not heard of, as the general says in bis report. He said the next general ontbreak was in 1879, when the Chiricahuaa that had gone to Mexico in 1876 joined them. There was no general outbreak with these Indians in 1879, Only one band left, that being Victoria’s, the only band of Chiricahuas then m New Mexico, The Indians he speaks of as joining Victoria were at San Carlos, having come in in 1878, as I have stated above. Victoria was not killed in 1881, but in Novem- ber, 1880, by Gen. Yerassas’ troops in Chi- huahua, old Mexico.* Victoria did not raid in Arizona and only once did I know him to go into that territory while he was away from the Ojo Calicnte reservation, That was in the fall of 1880, two months before he was killed, with sixty others—men, women and children. ‘The White Mountain Apaches were the cause of the Chiricahuas leaving San Carlos in Sep. tember, 1881. They fired on some troops and fled back to the camp of the Chiricahnas and said they had done it, In affright they all packed up and started for old Mexico. Gen. Crook, after getting command, went 400 miles into old Mexico himself and com- pelled the whole body to surrender and re turn, GERONIMO’S BAND. In the spring of 1885 Geronimo, Natchez and Maugus, with 194 men, women and children, fled to Mexico. Between 400 and 500 still re- mained on the reservation, refusing to go with them, but they have been made to suffer the same punishment. The;Chiricabua scouts did cx- cellent service hunting the hostiles down in old Mexico and in making them surrender to Gen. Crook in 1886, just below San Bernardino. The 36 men, women and children who escaped after this surrender were all that Gen. Miles had to contend against. He should not forget the work that was done before he came into command, but give credit where jt is due. I would not hesitate to put those Indians in any part of the Indian territory with perfect safety. They could be settled almost avy- where without fear of further trouble. In jus- tice they ought to be moved and given a chance to progress. So much, at least, should be done for those who are guiltless. Frank P.

Fred Leslie, the well-known actor, said in an interview yesterday in London that he himself was nearly made a victim of Birchell. While im America Leslie received frequent requeste to sit for his photograph. Among others wh« wrote was Birchell. Leslie met him at a cer- tain house in New York. Here he found Birchell alone. There was no evidence of th photographic business in the place. Leslic was posed for a profile. There was no aign o lens or camera, Birchell threw a cloth over his own head and said it was a “‘new style.” Leslie remarked that Charlie Danby, who ix an amateur, bad promised to call, at which Birchell was much disconcerted. Leslie thinks this statement saved his life, as Birchell would | meee have used an air gun while trying to focus him, Leslie says he wore considerable jewelry at the time and had a large sum of money with him. He says he hasnot seen any- thing of Birchell or the photograph since. ————-eee Miss Edison Cured of Epilepsy. Miss Edison has been discharged, cured of epilepsy, from the Dresden city hospital.

He was detected by a functionary and the guard st once rushed upon him, smashed all his in- struments to atoms and dragged him off to prison, where he discovered that he was in truly serious plight, for the Koran strictly for- bids Ge depicting of the human form, and his attempt to photograph the sultan was therefore as high treason of a Spee dia- bel cat kind, If the et ee foreigner he would probably have been quietly strangled or otherwise got rid of; but, thanks to the energetic intervention of his am! bassador, he was released after a month's imprisonment on condition that he quitted Turkey at once and forever.

The test is understood to have been satisfac- tory in all rexpects, Those on board were Commander Royal B. Bradford of the cruiser Philadelphia, president; Licat. Commander Henry N. Maney and Lieut.

One oxplo- sive shell, weighing 200 pounds and filled with gun cotton, was fired from each gun and, im addinon, weveral wouden bombs were dis- charged. The firing was done over a mea- sured mile, with a pressure of 700 pounds, Three different fures were used, the first being timed to explode the projectile in 51¢ seconds after striking the water, the noxt in 13¢ sec- onds and the last immedintely upon touching the water.

The Charge of the Judge in the Wiscon- sin Lynching Case. The trial of tho first three persons charged with the Oleson lynching at Whitehall, Wis., was concluded at noon yesterday, as far as the taking of testimony was concerned. The wife and won of the murdered man and Ol Sietto, a well-to-do farmer, have been on trial for what, according to the judge's charge, is murder in the first degree. ‘Thicty other men, young and old, from the farms about the little town will plead guilty to the charge of rioting, though the charge of the judge is an- mistakably that they are all guilty of con- spiracy aud murder, There seems to be no dispute about the essential facts of the case. The attorney for the three prisoners made a plea asking for a lesser offense than murder in the first degree, but the charge of the judge was decidedly agninst it. He said there had been no evidence introduced that would tend to show murder in any less degree than the first. ‘see. --____ Reduced Rates to Western Points.

Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star hae three times the circa- Jaton of any other paper ia Wasbing- ten! 2. The Star's circatation im Washing- ton is dunbie that of all the other datiy papers published im the city madded to gether!! 3. he Mar has a larger and fuller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion te reading and parchas- ing population, thas any ether news paper im the world!!! 4. The Siar has the largest regwar and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States 111! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION IX 1885-86-87-S8-8R. 1SS3. INSG.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c, (not householders), so that ite whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family | circle. While ite aggregate circulation there- | fore gives Taz Stax a distinctive and enviable position im modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, sre the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MQNEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tuz Srar’s advertising patronage. for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS FRINTED 1x 1885-86-87-88-3a 3,200 3,615 4,076 4,556 3,064 3.547 3,924 4,529 S506 4,660 4,603 5,404 4,355 5,475 4,056 5,554 4,197 5,395 5,171 6,033 3,938 4,522 4,606 5,528 3,235 S,3SL 3,915 4,483 2.552 3,170 3.508 4,606 4,208 4,517 4,904 5,558 4,579 5,313 5412+ 6,559 4,250 5,035 4,689 6,107 3,506 5,093 5,007 5,705 in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as Cocasionally swell the business of political organs, being included in ite patrun- age. In conclusion, it ts only necessary to say that, fm proportion to the extent and high character of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement herein made can be abundantly verified THE CIR- CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN ‘TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
