Sheridan and Crook Sent to the Senate. The Secretary of War transmitted to the Sen- ate yesterday, im response to resolutions of March 11, copies of correspondence held be- tween Gen, Sheridan and Gen. Crook regarding Apache Indians between March 26 and April 5, 1386. This correspondence relates to the cam- Psign against Geronimo, which resulted in Gen. Crook being d, at his own request. from the command of the department of Arizona and the appointment of Gen. Miles to succeed him. Accompanying the correspond- ence isa history of the negotiations between Geronimo and the Apaches, but the whole affair is summarized in the telegrams which passed between Gen, Crook and Gen, Sheridan. Gen, Crook wired on March 26 that he had met the hostiles the day before at Lieut. Mans’ camp: that be bad found them “very independ- ent and AS FIERCE AS SO MANY TIGERS, It seemed impossible, he said. to get hold of them except on condition that they be allowed to return to their reservation on their old status. On March 2% Gen. Crook wired Gen. Sheri- @an confidentially that the Indians would ac- cept one of only three propostions—to go east not exceeding two years. to return to the reservation on their old status, or to the war path, As I had to act ut on Gen. Crook, “I have today accepted render upon the first proposity dians, the genera! said. would start for Bowie the following day with the Apache scouts under Lieut. Mens. THF ESCATE OF GEONIMO. March 30 Gen, Crook telegraphed trom Fort Bowie that a courier just in from Lieut, Mans reported that duri the night Geronimo and with twenty men and thirteen women dl » camp. apparently without cause; Chihuaohua and twelve men remained behind. Lient. Mans and some of his scouts had gone in pur-uit. While this message was going over the wire a message from Gen. Sheridan was traveling in the opposite direction telling Gen. Crook that the President could not assent to the surrender ; cepted by Gen, Crook and that his instraction: Were to enter into negotiations for uncondi- tional surrender, sparing only the Indians’ ves, ‘This was followed Marck 31 with a dispatch from Gen. Sheridan saymg: “Your dispatch ot Yesterday received. It has occasioned great disappointment. It seems strange that Geron- imo and party could have escaped without the knowledge of the scouts.” ‘To this Gen. Crook replied that there was no ques hat the scouts were thoroughly loyal. In lat ex he claimed that the Indians and that “bad relie v rs had been drinking meseal free liquor was at the bottom of Geronimo and Natchez leavi GEN. CROOK ASKS TO BE RELIEVED, March 31, in response to the dispatch convey- ing the President's instructions, Gen, Crook telegraphed that to inform the Indians that the terms of their surrender had been disap- proved would make it impossible to negotiate with them turther. ‘To this en. Sheridan replied April 1: “As the offensive campaign against him (Geronimo) With scouts has fared would it not be best to take up the defensive aud give protection to the people and business interests of Arizona and New Mexico?” Ou the same 5 Crook telegraphed brietly defending his course and saying in con- clusion: “It may be, however, that I am too m ¥ own views on this matter. and as I have spent nearly eight years of the hardest work of my lite in this department I respectfully request thatl may now be re- Leved from its command.” CAPITOL GL VINGS.

Everybody listened, though, to the remarks made after that hour under the five-minute rule. Most startling and impressive was the brief speech by Senator Hawley. that if the biil became a law it was not iy $77,000,000 that it would cost, It would »st hundreds of millions and would go on for tty years unless the bill became so odious that an extra session would have to be called to re- peal it. The bill was against the apirit of states rights, He did not want to have the secretary of the national board of education sent into his able of taking care of the schools and he wanted the national government to keep its hands off. He went on to read a table of appro- ‘tions to be made for the next fiscal year, Wink an aggregate of expenditure of ‘3.000,000 against an estimated revenue of 3450.000,000, making a deficit of $73,000,000, THE OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE VOTE.

Mr. Woodward offered an amendment to the constitution, which was finally adopted. providing that al. | competitors in the association tournament must have been residents of the states comprising | the territory covered by the association at least | six months before the event, This is intended to prevent the presence in association tournaments of men from the clubs of the north, who, by reason of their superior skill, are no matches for the players of the associa- tion, but who. under the old rules, might easily enter in the events without having been any- where an association player. THE NEXT TOURNAMENT, At the close of the meeting of the association the execative committee adjourned to another room and upon emerging a few minutes later announced that the next tournament will be held at Baltimore on the 3d of June and the days foliowing, and that the Wright & Diston ball would be continued in use as the adopted ball of the association. Wilmington was in the field for a time for the next tournament, but her representative said that he did not think his clab could be ready in time for such an early tournament and the field was thus left to Bal- timore. Two years ago Ben Gruel of Robinson Sta- tion, Ky., defrauded several citizens of that neighborhood of snug sums of money by ne- gotiating for stock and making payment with bogus checks. Close upon the heels of his misdeeds he fled to the mountains of this state and did not return until a few days since. His two-years absence did not efface the old grudges against him for his wrongdoing, and he was seized last night by a mob of about twenty persons, taken toa grave yard near by and hanged. 2 —. Each Trade to Fight Separately. The result of the conference of the executive council of the federation of labor in New York last Saturday has just been made public. Vice President William Martin says that no one trade will be ordered to demand the eight-hour law nor to strike to enforce the demand. Mr. Martin said it was left entirely optional with each trade whether they desired or thought they could secure eight hours for a day’s work. It will also be optional whether they will go into the question or not, That they will do so is shown by the replies sent to the federation from most all trades, saying they desired to Congress approved June 11, 1878, which says: “All vacancies in the grade of sccond lieuten- ants shall be filled from the graduates of the military academy as long as any such remain in unassigned; and any vacancies there- after remaining shall be filled by promotion of meritorious non-commissioned officers of the Since then there have never failed to annually present themselves tor examination from fifteen to twenty non-commissioned offi- cers, and there have been on an average from five to ten successful candidates each year, who are now enjoying their commissions, and every year the number is increasing.

Rev. W. 8. Holland, who was received into the Baltimore Methodist Episcopal conference south on Wednesday from the Genesee, ’ conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, is not satisfied with his appointment and says he will be forced to return to the Genesee con- ference of New York. He has been pastor of the First MLE. church, Allegany, N.Y. Bishop Dunean appointed him to the Shenandoah mis- sion, Page county, Va. Mr. Holland yesterday said to an American reporter that, while he was unxious to get near lus old home, he was not enough of a religious fatalist to believe that he could afford to accept au appointment where all the pay is $100 from the missionary fund, with what be can collect. He doubts that he tw collect enough to feed his horse, and it will take more than $100 to move his family from Allegany, N. Y., to Virginia, He is sorry, but he does not think God would ever have given hum such a call as that. He is willing to work for the Lord, and does not expect to make money out of the Methodist ministry, and yet, at the same time, he does not propose to tempt Providence to starve Bisaself aud his family, Notes From the Maryland Legislature. -Judge Brown and others, representing the Baltimore committee of one hundred, made arguments before the city delegation at Annap- olis yesterday in favor of high liquor license.

No witnesses appeared with any grievance, except one who had a per- sonal charge against the Burlington company. It was shown by nearly ade | witness that no dissatisfaction existed with the present rates, No shipper or farmer appeared to say the pres- ent rate on corn was unreasonable or exorbitant, ‘The commissioners leave today for Topeka to pursuy the grain-rate question. co — Must Pay Up or Surrender His Stock. J. L Case, the turfman, has sued John 8. Robbins, formerly foreman of the Case implement works at Racine, for $25,000; Mr. Kobbins, now manager of the Witt- mer cattle ranch in Sonora, Mexico, says the suit is to recover $10,000 worth of stock which he had at one time in the Case manu- facturing company. i to the defend- ant the stock was sented to him by Mr. Case and was to be paid for by the dividends, which Mr, Case represented it would do.

Kennedy, jr., foreign money order clerk in the San Francisco post office, was arrested Thursday night for embezzlement, The amount of his peculations is about 20,000. He occupied the position eight ars and his stealings began about a year ago. He had an ingenious plan of making the cash balance every night by abstracting orders before they were entered on the books, He had been shadowed for several days and when arrested last night had evidently made full preparations for flight, as £2,000 in bills was found hidden in his trouse He was a republican appointed under Gen. Backus. Wine, women and poker consumed hia stealings. — see Gone Off With His Type Writer. Quite a sensation was caused in Buffuio yes- terday when it was currently reported that J. W. Woodruff, ex-president of the Life and Re- serve insurance company, had hurriedly left town, leaving a number of creditors, Lately it was discovered that Woodruff had purchased land and had contracted to build fourteen houses, and that money for this was taken trom the funds of the company. Woodraff hada pretty blond type writer, with whom he fei! violently in love, and it is reported that the couple have fled together. Shooting On a Train. E. B. MeCurdy, conductor on the south- bound Louisville aud Nashville road, was shot and seriously wouuded by a negro named Jake Daniels yesterday and in turn the conductor shot and killed the negro. This happened on the train in the afternoon while it was near Bay Minette, Ala, The negro refused to pay the rate of fare demanded by the conductor und the latter tried to eject him. but the negro resisted, drew a pistol and fired. hitting the conductor in the right breast. The conductor then fired four times. hitting the negro cach time, and then stabbed him with « pocket knife. The negro died almost instantly. The con- ductor waa brought to Mobile, Ala, for treatment. se This Man Wilt Be Lynched. Constable Bowen of Lee’s Summit, Mo., Wed- nesday arrested a tramp near that place who an- swered the description of the assailant of Miss Allie Atkinson, which caused so much excitement near that young lady’s home at Greenwood last week. The tramp gave the name of W. K. Payne and claimed to be abad boy. He was taken before Miss Atkinson and she positively identified him a3 her assailant. Payne claimed to be able to prove an alibi, but in trying to do so proved that he made many inaccurate state- ments about his doings on the day of the as- sault. He was unable to give any satisfactory account of himself on that day, He was taken before Miss Atkinson yesterday for further identification. The people of Greenwood and vicinity are greatly excited over his (Payne's) arrest and it is doubtful if he can be kept from the hands of a mob. He is now confined at police headquarters in Kansas City for sate keeping. yan <oe— The West Virginia court of appeals in the case of the Fidelity insurance and trust com- pany against the Shenandoah Valiey railroad company, rendered a decision awarding the Central improvement company $649,224.

The Star has three times the circa- Jation of any ether paper in Washing: ton! 2 The Star's cireniation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other datly Papers published in the chy added to- gether!! 3.

The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of Any (wo-cent afternoon paper im the United States ti!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION 1x 1885-86-87-88-80, ISS3, ISS6.

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, en¢ by newsboys. But of this latter number very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings &c. (not housebolders), 60 that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While ite aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Stan a distinctive and envialie position in modern journalism, the fullness & its home circulation, the extent to whida it is relied upon by members of the | household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, #e the marked characteristics of the paprr, te which no other daily journal ow published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the payer. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and emer- prising business men of Washington, who eck and know where to find THE LARGIST RETUKNS FROM THE MONEY PAID CUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven bythe growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, monthby | month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- for the Century | verse claims and pretentious competition.

The average daily space filled by advertise- ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, {m proportion to the extent and high charactes Of ite circulation, Tae Stan's advertising rater take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereis made can be abundantly verified THE CIB CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION BOOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING (Adi INTEREST Di THEIB EXAMINATION.
