W. V. Kennon of Gen. Crook's staff. who is now in the city. When asked concerning Gen. Miles’ re- cent communication to the committe on Indian affairs in regard to the removal of the Apaches from Mt. Vernon barracks he said: “I do not know where Gen. Miles obtained his information regarding the Chiricahuas. He visited the camp of the main body of the tribe but once, I believe, and he was with Geron- fmo’s band for perhaps three days after its sur- render. There were but thirty-two men, women and children in this party and these were notoriously the worst in tribe. It would hardly be fair to judge the whole tribe by these few. Gen. Miles can have but little personal knowledge either of the history or ebaracteristics of these Indians, and his testi- mony indicates as much, for it differs very ma- terially from that of men who have intimately known them for many years.” ‘THAT MUCH TALKED-OF SURRENDER. “But what about Gen. Miles’ position in re- gard to the surrender of the Apaches?” was asked. “Gen. Miles has given us in his statement a trifle more light on that question,” replied Lieut. Kennon. “This bas been a much mooted question, probably because Gen. Miles seems never to have made an explicit official state- ment as to what these terms were, His orders gave him no option in the case. He has re- ferred to anthority which was given his pre- ssor to accept a surrender, but his own in- structions were simply to destroy or capture the hostiles, making prominent use of the regular troops. From the first dispatches re- ceived the President understood that the sur- render wasa forced one and unconditional, and telegraphed at once that the Indians ‘should be very safely kept as prisoners until they can be tried for their crimes.’ Gen. Sheridan telegraphed: ‘You are hereby di- rected to hold them in close confinement at Fort Bowie.’ Gen. Miles, however, started them off with as little delay as possible to Fort Marion, Fla., since, as he now states before the committee, he ‘did not consider the order g.’ He says ‘there was another order sent to hold them at Fort Bowie, but, fortu- nately, I did not receive it until they were on their way through Texas to Fort Marion. Fla.’ Sheridan's order was sent, received and an- swered from Fort Bowie September 7, 1586. us Were sent away from Fort Bowie September 8, 1886. “This action raised the suspicion that there ‘Were condition to the surrender. The Presi- dent therefore directed Gen. Miles without de- lay to send by telegraph a full report of the ture of Geronimo. Several dispatches and along written report were forwarded in re- sponse, but the ired information was not contained in them. The President then re- quested him to ‘report by telegraph direct the exact promises, if any, made to them at the time of the surrender.’ Gen. Miles replied: ‘In order that you may fally understand every fact and circumstance which led to that grati- fying result and some other important matter of which I believe you should be apprised I respectfully request permission to report to you in person.’ This request was declined and an answer tothe inquiry as to conditions of surrender called for withoutdelay. A telegram of about 850 words resulted. From this, from the report and from the previous telegrams sent by him all that could be gathered was that the status of the Indian prisoners was ‘the same as that of Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull and hundreds of others—they are strictly prisoners of war, the result of the skill aud fortitude of our troops.” WHAT THE INDIANS SAID. “The President then applied to other sou-ces for information. The Indians stated that Gen. Miles promised them that if they surrendered to him and went to Fort Bowie, ‘in five days yon will see your families and no harm will be done you. You will have a separate reser tion with your tribe, with wagons and herses and no one will hurt you.’ They said he re- peated the same things at Bowie, and clearing @ piece of = with his band said, ‘Every- thing you have done up to this time will be wiped out like that and forgotten, and you will begin a new life.’ “The statements of the Indians were con- firmed by the testimony of white men present at the surrender. “Gen. Miles now states: ‘They were in one sense prisoners of war without terms, but i had told them I was going to move them all out of that country, and I could not disregard what I had said.’ “The Indians say they would have surren- dered long before if they had kuown that they would be allowed to do so. They were only a remuant and were separated from their fami- lies and kindred and desired to return to them. They were glad of an opportunity to sur- render provided they eat ba aened of safety to themselves and a reunion with their tribe. PRO AND CON, “He speaks now of the danger of their ex- citing the Kiowas and Commanches to go on the war path if the Indians are moved to the Indian territory, and says he knows the peo- le of Arizona and New Mexico would have just cause for apprehension if the Chiricahuas were removed to the Indian territory, and argues that Fort Sill would be # very un- healthy place for them. “In 1886 he had no such fears, He repeatedly urged that this very step be taken for the pur- pose of securing a permanent place. I believe they can be moved away from the mountain regions of Arizona and New Mexico and placed within the control of the government, where they will no longer be « disturbing element or & menace to the scattered settlements, * * * In view of these facts 1 have the honor to re- be pebpeest recommend that in consideration of their good conduct and loyalty the Indians in question be allowed to locate on the southeast wide of the Wichita mountains, on the Kiowa Comanche and Apache reservation in the In- dian territory, * * © Iam aware that there are legal objections to their being at once moved to the Indian territory, but should this recommendation receive the ‘approval of the executive department of the government I be- lieve that Congress would be convinced of the importance and necessity of removing any legal objections to a measure that would secure peace toavery large section of the country. “As late as October, 1883, ‘Gen. Miles ex- Pressed the opinion that all of them might be civilized and rendered self-supporting if placed on arable land and given a fair opportunity to cultivate it. He said he had urged that course from the beginning, and it was his belief that had it been followed with even Geronimo and the worst of his foliowers these Indians would have been self-supporting by this time.’ ” Repvcep Rates to tue West via P.R.R.— ‘The Pennsylvania company announces that by reason of the reduction in passenger rates on the lines west of Chicago and St. Lows rates by that line have been lowered to all points in the west and northwest by way of Chicago and St, Louis and patrons of the Penn- — railroad are thus enabled to secure benetit of this reduction on all through tickets to points west of the AMisauseippi river. magnificent facilities of the Peunsylvania railroad A commend this tem to all westes ‘travelers, —Adet. ~~ m —-____ In the Promised Land. After the news came Thursday night that the Dill passed the House declaring the Cherokee strip public domain Arkansas City, Kan.,was a scene of wild excitement, with the boomers, in their excitement, running to aud fro half- making tions to start at day- break for the strip. Before the sun was up the whole city was wild and a continuous stream of people of every description, trom the poor- est tramp to the speculative real estate agent — men, women and children of every nationality — Were pouring into the strip. At uoon the line of white-covered prairie schooners, beariug the | picture, Joyous boomers, was still crawling through the town and its end not yet visible. The news comes from the strip that the cattle have al- — been pers Ae frightened at the un- scene, and have become unmanageable. ‘The cattlemen are in great straits to know what to do with their stock, inasmuch as the force of men at their command is as nothing before the irresis\ible stream of immigration.

NOTHING FROM THE WEST. Nothing has been heard from Cleveland or Pittsburg for a couple of days and it begins to | look to the enthusiasts here as though |the proposed deal had been abandoned. But base ball men are like microbes in some ways, They have a habit of fitting about invisibiy and suddenly appearing with startling results when one least expects to see them. The chances wre that the manipu- lators of the echeme are not letting the grass grow under their feet but are doing their best to bring about the desired change under the surface, A dispatch from Indianapolis says that while Mr. Brash was away from home he obtained promises from Nimick of Pittsburg and Kobin- son of Cleveland to stand by him and Hewett in case a mail or telegraph vote on ihe eight- club question is asked for by the president of the league. If this isso the two tail-enders are safe. FIGHTING THE BROTHERHOOD. The arguments in the suit brought by John B. Day against Buck Ewing were heard by Judge Wallace in New York yesterday. Geo. F, Duysters presented the side of the New York yand Judge Bacon that of the defendant. ght that Judge Wallace; who re- erved his decision, leaned slightly toward the league side of the case in bis remarks during the hearing.

The Cosmos Club contemplates the usual Art Exhibition in its Hall toward the latter part of April, and the art committee hope that artists and amateurs whose work will add to its success will be prepared with coutributions when a later and finite announcement is made in the special notices of Tue STAR. — It is becoming quite usual for painters to try their hands at sculpture. Gustave Dor, the famous French artist, it will be remem- bered, was exceedingly ambitious in that way, scoring a marked success in his first effort, a colossal Bacehic vase, and he would no doubt have made an enviable reputation as a sculptor had his life been spared. Following Dore’s example. Mr. George FP. Watts, the noted En- glish painter, executed in bronze a colossal equestrian statue of the first Earl of West- minster, which now stands on the grounds of Eton Hall, Chester. Sir Frederick Leighton has also done some clever work in sculpture; and now Mr. John F. Weir, professor of draw- ing and painting in the Yale Art School, has modeled a colossal figure of the late President Woulsey, of Yale College, which is to be cast in bronze and set up on the campus of that insti- tution, The figure is seated in a Greek ch: in order to symbolize the Greek professorshi Dr. Wi once held, but he wears the robes of President, to indicate the position he filled at the time of bis death, — Municipal authority has been granted for the erection of a bronze statue of Horace Greeley in the Nassau street entrance to the New York Tr-bune building, the commission for which has been given to Mr. Alexander Doyle. — Gabriel Max, the celebrated German artist, has recently completed three large com- position: “Prometheus,” a “Dead Gladi tor,” mourned by two worhen, and an “Alle- gory.” three children protected by their guardian angels. One of the best works of this artist. entitled ‘The Last Token,” may be seen in the New York Museum of Art, to which it was bequeathed by the late Miss Wolfe, of that city. — Chicago is about to testify to its apprecia- tion of literature and the arts by the erection of a statue of Shakespeare. The effigy, which represents a sittivg figure, is the production of Mr. William Ordway Partridge, a young sculp- tor of Boston, It isto be placed in Lincoin Park. — The statue of the late Henry W. Grady, to be erected in Atlanta, is to be modeled by Mr, Alexander Doyle. The chosen design repre- sents the eloquent editor in an easy standing position, on a pedestal of massive but graceful proportions, on the two sides of which are to be placed allegorical figures, the precise character of which has not yet been fiually devided. — During the water color exhibition which closed in New York on the evening of the Ist inst., Over 200 of the drawings, or about one third of the whole number shown, were suld, atan average of nearly $100 apiece 12,000 admission tickets were sold, against about 10,000 last year. —Mr. Henry Sandham, of Boston, well known as @ portrait painter and illustrator, is in the city, for a short stay, collecting data for a historical picture of the late war of the re- bellion. Mr. Sandbam has lately Pee a portraitof Sir Jou MacDonald, of Canada, which was greatly admired by the friends of both the artist aud the Premier, — Mr. Charles Glover has recently received from Mir. Chialiva a most charming example of that artist’s work, the result of a commission given while in Paris last summer. ‘Tie subject isa French shepherdess with a small dock of sheep, in an open field, with farm buildings be- yond and a range of low lying hills in the dis- tance. The sheep are admirably painted, and, as is usual in that artist's work. a fine outdoor atmospheric effect pervades the canvas, Al- though met known es & ecllector in the weosl sense of that term, Mr. Glover has some out very choice pictures, acquired withs st, among which may be named an exquisite fete Corot, a Berne-Bellecour and a Julien Dupre. — An idea of the esteem in which the judg- ment of American picture buyers is held by foreign art dealers may be formed by the fact thatthe ‘upset price” for an “old master’ ly offered at public sale in this country wat 3.000, whereas when offered at auction in Paris afterward the “upset price” was fixed at only £12,000! It fs gratifying to be able to complete this record by adding the fact that no bid of the last named amount was made for the ther in New York or Paris. i coe NEW PUBLICATIONS, PRACTICAL TYPEWRITING: By the All-finger Methed, Waich Leads to Operation by Touch.

How to Make Ornamental Heuse Fur- nishings Out of Odds and Ends. TRANSFORMING THE SAW HORSE INTO A PICTURE BACK—GRACEFUL DRAPERIES FOR UNSIGRTLY OBJECTS—HOW SPACE CAN BE ECONOMIZED—A COMBINATION CUPBOARD AND STOREROOM. It would seem that the skill of a fairy god- mother must be necessary to effect the great transformations which take place in certain articles. What less could transform for instance, the useful but homely saw horse into the polite regions of the drawing room. This has been accomplished, however, though possibly the library is the more suitable destination after all. The plebeian object is somewhat refined in appearance by being stained a wood brown before it is so rash as to venture out of its sphere, Itis also used upside down from its ordinary position when it becomes an aspirant for cultivated toleration. The elevated saw horse now takes the name of portfolio rack and steadfastly supports the portfolio, which is itself something of an upstart, for two sheets of stiff pasteboard covered with brown denim- are the ingredients of this affair. The paste- boards are simply covered both sides with the denim, glue being used for the work, as it | takes less time than sewing and is more easily managed. Brown ribbons fasten it in two places at the back, while one set of ribbons to tie and untie is sufficient for the front, to hold in the pictures or whatever is placed im the portfolio, USEFUL FOR MUSIC. It might be used for music as well as pic tures. More dainty treatment is to paint the saw horse white and cover the portfolio with an embroidered cover of chrysanthemums in shades of old rose, baving ribbons of the same hue. Bolton sheeting or cream linen would be the most suitable foundation for the embroid- ery. Such a picture holder is very useful, while the rack would have at least substantial worth io recommend it, AN ANTIQUE SPREAD. Speaking of denim recalls the fact that among some ancient Spanish work was lately found a blue bed spread closely resembling in texture the denim of which so much use is made here a8 « groundwork for embroidery, ‘Thisantique spread was most elaborately worked | spoil Over | in colored silks and with the greatest skill In this same collection was a table cover of tur- quoise blue velvet, worked in gold colored silks and finished with a friage of Spanish coms, A MODERN BED SPREAD which looks very well with a brass bedstead is one of yellow watine over which is plain white net. This is finished with a border lace, under which the satine is cut out to fit the scalloped edge. Sucha spread is very good also for the painted iron bedsteads, white with brass knobs, now so populer, Spreads, like the hangings of a room, are much affected at present, For instance, the spread and curtains as well as a three-fold screen in one room may be all of a lovely figured silk. the bed spread finiyhed with sewing silk fringe and nearly touching the floor all around. USE OF SILKOLINE, The silkoline—thin cotton stuff stamped with china silk desigus—is go pretty, artistic and inexpensive that great use is made of it. Sets of curtains and coverlets of this are ef- fective and can be easily replaced, though by taking off and folding such a spread at night it will be much more durable than would be imagined. To add a dressing table, screen, mantel drapery and small table cover. all of the silkoline,{would make a room attractive and dainty at the slightest possible expense. CORNER FURNISHINGS, Everything imaginable is being devised for the utilizing of corners. Divans for these angles are numerous and pretty. A novel ad- dition to the seat is sometimes made by having a latticed archway from the seat to the ceiling with a fairy lamp hanging from the center. The lattice work can be made by a carpenter and colored with cherry stain, Another pretty variation would be to have across the corner a band of Japanese fret work about a foot deep.and hanging from this curtains of thin material drawn off and looped high so as not to interfere with the purpose of the seat. This inclosing of the corner is an improvement only in a large room, as it takes a good deal off the appar- ent size. Other corner effects are secured which are easily managed. A corner of a sitting room may be made of great use by putting a three-cornered shelf across about the height of an ordinary work table. A shirred curtain of silkoline or art | muslin, as it is also called, hangs to the floor, and, like charity, may cover a multitude of sing, Above the shelf is another about 18 inches higher, and the wall space between them may be covered with matting or a shirring of mus- lin like the curtain. A CORNER CABINET can be made by nailing strips of wood to the two sides of the angle of the walls and resting corner shelves on these. The shelv:s may be lush or e 1, stained, ;: 5 ; orered wish plesh ue canton Senne ned oe | teed across 4 corner or in a straight line in | have the edges finished with lincrusta walton, which looks like carving, or with pinked leathe: A strip of wood is fastened an inch from the back of the sheives to keep plates from slipping when they are serewed into the front edge of the shelves on the under side, on which to hang cups. With the addition of a slender, brass rod and curtains half pushed back a pretty little china cabinet is achieved, Still another good corner arrangement for « all drawing room is to have a sofa set acroxs the corner. and in the space back of it wet aj | spreading palm on a table, or. better yet, a pedestal, which gives a prettier effect, A SEWING MACHINE COVER, Small houses. though so dainty and attractive to look at, have their drawbacks as abiding places, ‘There are certain necessary but ugly articles pertaining to a household which in a} ‘le house cannot be tucked out of sight, but must forever be prominent features to half n otherwise nes must ever be offending objects when not in actual use, and yet ina small establishment generally have to stand inthe family sitting room ora bed room. ‘Tv conceal their identity | some ingenious woman has made an adjustable | domino, as it were, which is an improvement | A. to appearance, A board is made floor spa was the up by the ma | ~ This is put on top, while a curtain falling to jas tucked around it, — the_—rdboard | easily. | drawn and conceal the culinary department j curtain can be thrown up over the rod, thereby re set up on edge, and brass Looks | - 7 A W asuixatox Romance.

Often bare rooms without closets are the un- promising beginuings of what results in pretty and convenient arrangements later on. Of course the prime object in the furnishings is to economize space and as such a way of living implies limited means small expenditures must obviously be the rule. CABINET AND STORE ROOM Here is a triumph in the way of a china cabinet and store room combined, It has | actually been done and found a com-| plete success. No carpenter even is needed, | for the whole affair is made up of soap boxes set une on top of another without even nailing together. The boxes can be ob- | tained for « trifle, probably, of uny grocer, and | after they are once in the room where they are to be used a woman’s hands can accomplish the rest. The fronts must be knocked out, then | pile them up as high as wished—seven boxes making a good number. Of course the boards are rough and must be covered before anything \ | presentable can be made of them. Take the three upper compartments, say. for dishes, line | the inside with red single-faced Canton flannel, tacking it with gimp tacks. At the top put a brass rod, and from this hang two short curtains | just long enough to hang over these three upper shelves, ‘These are to be pusheti back to | show whatever pretty bits of china the shelves contain, Just below these curtains is another rod anda single curtain, which hangs plainly across the lower shelves, concealing their con- | tents. Here is where the groceries, the jar of pickles end pot of jam may be kept. as well as the dishes which are more useful than orna- mental, ‘hese shelves may be left plain’ board, with shelf paper laid on them. COVERING THE SIDRS. The sides are now the only unseemly parts remaining and they can be treated in several ways, They may be covered plainly with the same red canton flannel used on the inside of the cabinet, tacking it on'with brass nails, how- ever, for ornament. Large brass nails, by the way, are quite an item of expense, but the brass nails with which the harnesses of dray horses are often so bedecked might be used and are much cheaper These can be obtained at harness and leatuer stores, I am told. To return to the cabinet. Another way to conceal | and decorate the sides is to cover them with the matting which comes around tea chests, This is also to be found at the grocers and is quite in demand among artistic spirits tor various purposes, There is a fringe on the edges which can be overlapped in this case where the pieces join. Brass-headed nails hould be used for this also, as it gives a pret- tier cffect than an invisible joining. Still an- other suggestion for living in this way: CONCEALING THE CULINARY DEPARTMENT. Often a gas or oil stove is used for the cook- ing in the same room where the meals are eaten. It will add much to the attraction of the dinner ff a curtain is arranged so it can be from the banqueting hall, A rod can be fas- front of stove, &c., and when not needed the | keeping it out of harm's way in the shape of broom or grease spots, ss .

Likewise, baking powders advertised as having pub- lisied upon their labels all the ingredients used in them are shown by recent investigation to have in their com- posicion four different substances not»upon their label, amounting to 49.30 per cent. of their entire weight, two of which substances are lime and sulphuric acid!
