Legislative Approval of the Executive Nominations. ‘Stormy Debate with Confusion in the Hall of Cortes. Genors Figueras and Castelar State Their Position.. TELECRARS 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD. Manrm, June 9, 1873. The Cortes took a recess yesterday almost immediately after the passage of the resolution ‘definitely proclaiming the Federal Republic. ‘The recess continued until a late hour of the evening. OONSTITUTIONAL FORMATION OF A MINISTRY. ‘The Legislative Body having reassembled in might session, Sefior Pi y Margall proposed ithe following list of names of Ministers for atification by the Chamber :— President of the Council and Minister of the In- ferior—Seiior Pi y Margall. Minister of State—Sefior Cervera. Minister of Justice—Sefior J. Predical. Minister of War—Sefior Estevarez. Minister of Colonies—Sefior Sorni. Minister of Finance—Sefior Carvajal. Minister of Marine—Sefior Oreiro. Minister of Public Worls—Sefior Palanca. PARLIAMENTARY APPROVAL. After an animated debate the Cortes went ‘into secret session, during which the nomina- tions by Sefior Pi y Margall were approved. ‘Stormy Proceedings in Parliament— Senors Figueras and Castelar During the Debate. Mapnip, June 9—Evening. ‘The aeasion of the Cortes last night was one*of the stormiest on record. Owing to the confusion ich prevailed in the Chamber, the closing of ‘the doors a portion of the time, by which the (reporters were exciuded, and the late hour ‘of adjournment, the morning papers were unable to obtain complete or correct reports of the ,Proceedings, and many false rumors in conse- ‘quence obtained currency. The statement, among ethers, that tne Ministry proposed by Sefior Pi y (Margall was approved is incorrect. The House {finally rejected his Ministry, and called en sefior ras to resume the conduct of the govern- ‘ment with his old Cabinet. , The following is an accurate résumé of the sit- ‘ting:— ‘The Cortes, after passing the resolution prociaim- idmg the Republic, adjourned until the evening for the purpose ef completing the formation of a new ‘Ministry. At 7 P. M. the House reassembled and Senor ‘Figueras opened the debate. He advised the re- Publicans to be united, and warned them that divisions in their ranks would prove fatal to the Cause they held dear. The question then came up whether the Minis- ‘ters proposed by Sefior Pi y Margall should be Voted on en dlocor separately. An excited discus- ‘sion followed, which was accompanied with fre- “*\quent scenes of confusion. A motion was made to go into secret session. Sefior Castelar.protested. The Cortes, he said, Owed it to the country that their proceedings should be public. Sefor Pi y Margoll finally announced that in view wwf the sad scenes of disorder, which he could only \eonsider as an evidence of distrust, he would with- draw his list of Ministers, Great uproar followed, and could only be silence \Dy Sefior Figueras, who rose to move that the Mix. listers be directly chosen by the Cortes. The motion for a secret sitting was then renewed ‘and adopted; and at midnight the galleries were cleared and the reporters excluded. Around the Palace the streets were filled with yan excited throng, and within the Cnamber the greatest excitement prevailed. It was fwumored at one time that an armed jetowd had entered the Palace, and threatened to ‘Dreak into the hall. Moreover, a fight between the ‘qnilitary and the people in the streets was momen- tarily expected. Castelar and Figueras succeeded in restoring calm in the Chamber, and exerted themselves to good effect in restraining the populace outside. There being no prospect of agreement of the ‘Deputies as tg the composition of the new Ministry, Figueras, Castelar and Margall were successively called upon to form one, but they cither declined or failed im the task after repeated consultations. The whole Cortes finally appealed to Seiior Figueras to remain in power with the old Cabinet, and he at last consented. At four A. M., the doors were thrown open, and ‘the galleries were immediately filled. The Cortes proceeded to adopt a vote of conf. dence in the Figueras Ministry, and then adjourned. | | CITIZEN REJOICING. ‘The prociamation of the federal Republic was celebrated last night at Barcelona with illumina- ‘tions and general rejoicings.

Alexandra Palace, Muswell Hill (a northera staurb of London), is nowin flames, and it is feared She entire edifice will be destroyed. Additional detachments of the fire brigade have been summoned, but it ia feared they will not arrive im time to save the strudture. The Palace in Ruins—Seven Persons Said to Have Been Killed, Lonpon, June 9—3:30 P. M. The Alexandra Palace building has been entirely destroyed. Nothing remains of the building but a mass of ruins, It is reported that seven persons lost their lives, The destruction of this magnificent palace and the attendant loss of life causes consternation in London, Total Loss and the Amount of In- surances=—The Latest Facts Concerning the Disaster—No Lives Lost. LONDON, June 9, 1973. The total loss by the burning of the Alexandra Palace is estimated at $3,000,000, on which the insurances amount to $600,000. The fire was caused by the carelessness of work- Men who were repairing the zinc roof. No one was killed, as at drat reported, but several persons were injured. ‘The supply of water was scarce, and hence the rapidity with which the fire spread. Witin half an hour from the time the alarm was given the entire structure was enveloped in flames, and one by one the great domes by which {t was surmounted fell in with a sound like thunder, The large organ was destroyed ; but some valua- ble pictures and other works of art were saved. Opening Day at the Palace in the Pres- ent Scason—The Collection of Paintings and Statuary, The Alexandra Palace was opened for the present, seagon on Saturday, the 24th of May. A London journal describes the scene in the following words :— Nothing could have been finer than the weather which favored the opening day ef the Alexandra Palace, nothing more complete than the success which attended it, It is probable that of all the vast crowd who gathered on Saturday within its walls, tne majority were a week since ignorant even of the exact locality of the Palace. They vaguely knew, Ol course, that it was somewvere in the north of London; they bad an idea that it was a large building, and had perhaps caught a glimpse of it from the windows of the Great Northern car- riages; they supposed that, from its position on a hill, the view would be extensive; and they had heard that the country in the neighborhood was pretty. With these vague thoughts and beliefs in their heads, tt is probable that very few were prepared for the splendor of the building or for the lory of the view obtainable from all sides of it. Jpon no one side, indeed, we may admit, is the view at all comparable to that from the terraces ofSydenham., But at Sydenham there is a view from ane side only of the four, whereas the Alex- andra palace stands upon the apex of a hill, sar- rounded by its own grounds, which fall away from it on every side. That people were in no way pre- pared for what they were (o see was evident from the exclamation oi surprise and admiration which broke from every one as they entered the building and from the delighted remarks which passed among the groups which sauntered on the terrace out- side. It would be difficult to persuade a stranger that he was standing within six miles of the largest city in the world. London is fortunately cut off from sight by an ee ree ne a and although upon a clear day the Crystal Palace can be seen upon the Surrey hilis beyond it, London itself is quite hid from view. Scattered suburbs, indeed, are to be seen; Hornsey, Highgate an Wood Green are in part visible, but in these rural villages, for they are but large villages, trees are happily plentiful, and even the brick and mortar of suburban villas is softened and toned down when half hidden by the bright Spring foliage. Never before can pian’ have witnessed such a busy Scene as that of Saturday, An almost unbroken line of cai 8 rolled along upon their way to the rk, and not a few must have congratulated themselves warmly that they determined to make their first trip inte this unknown land in tneir own vehicles. Highgate and Hampstead, although, under the invading hand of the builder, they are fast changing their character, are still country, and very lovely coun- try too. The gardens in which the villas nestle are real gardens, with grand old trees;not mere strips of used up brickfield, turfed and becocknified with a round patch or two of scariet geraniums. There are hedges here, real country hedgerews, and reen felds. The tient along the newly made ranch from Hampstead to the Palace skirts a wood, areal copse, which was hailed by many a passenger by rail as one hails an old friend when one mects him altogether Lag gat ‘That ‘wood took one fifty miles away from London at a bound, Still to those who possess carriages we should say by all means drive down to the Alex- andra Palace. EXTENT OF THE PALACE AND ITS CONTENTS. Although its length is, of course, nothing to that of the Crystal Palace, yet the proportions are so good, the colors so delicately blended, and the general effect so admirable that mest people were inclined to greatly overrate its magnitude. It is an immense building, but in point of size it is small by the side of Sydenham; compared with any other building it is of huge dimensions, indeed. In no manner was this more clearly shown than by the apparent size of the theatre, No perform- anée took place on Saturday, but the drop scene was raised and avery pretty woodland scene, by Messrs. Grieve, was exhibited. Not a few Temarks were made upon this. Every one ad- mitted the beauty of the scene. but ail were in- disposed to think that it was nearly as large as had been te her “That as large as Drury Lane ? Impossible ! It is quiteja small theatre,” was the general exclamation, But they were wrong. The stage is really slightly larger than that of Drury Lane, and the fact that it looks so much smaller than it is is ample proof of the size of tts surround- ings. Nextto the general aspect of the pela admiration was excived by the grand concert hall, formed by the central dome and transept. The su- perb organ, with its delicate tints, the harmony of the coloring, the designs of the dome, the immense area filled with seats, the statuary and the flowers all combined to make up a coup d’cil inferior only to that of the central transept of the Crystal Palace. At the foot of the column which supports the dome are eight statues. Four of them are by Bruc- ctani, and represent the four gach of the globe. The other four are by Mr. J. Denham, R. A., and Tepresent Milton, Newton, Harvey and Bentham. The juxtaposition of these figures is the sole mis- take in the internal arrangements of the Palace. Bentham sitting by the side ofa semi-nude young African girl is simply absurd, and as the arrange- ment 18 necessarily 10 pairs, each savant is wedded toan allegorical figure. We should certainly ad: vise that some alteration be made in this spect. As the groups are’ now placed the rid ulous nature of the situation must strike every one. In statuary the Palace is strong, the greater poi tion of the statues having been modelled by brucci- ani. The greater portion are old friends. There are here Powers’ “Greek Slave,” Cannon's “Three Graces,"’ the ‘Apollo Belvidere,” the “Venus” of Milo, the “Venus de Medici,” the “Venns’’ by Gib- son, the ‘‘Adonis” from the Vatican, the “Dancing Fawn,” from Florence; the “Flora,” from Rome; the “Satyr,” from the British Museum; the “Faun,’’ Thorwaldsen’s “Mercury” and “Shepherd Boy,” Macdonnel’s “Eve” and a host of gods, god- desses and heroes from the antique. There are, too, a great number ef busts of royal and tliustrious in- dividuals. On each side of the theatre are colossal statues of “Thalia” and “Meipomene.” Along the sides of the central avenue are a large number of cases for the exhibition of objects of art- istic mannfacture, and there are also stands for the sale of fancy goods, Mention has aiready been inade of the Palace, of the Pou of ae representing foreign nations, and displayed in ay ropriate dwellings or scenery. They are exceed- gly Well got up, and the surroundings in which they are faced greatly heightened the effect which they juced when originally shown in the French Exhibition. Taken altogether they are. perhaps, the finest collection of the kind existing, with the exception only of the altogether unrivalled cotlec- tion In the musem at Moscow, of groups represent- ing the different people under sgian rule. [t would be well if the authorities of the Palace were to place up a conspicuous notice by each group in- forming the public which nationality is represented, for alti ough in some cases, such as the Egyptian and Lapland groups, no mistake can occur, yet even those who nave travelled most would be puzzled to indicate. Not least among the permanent attractions of the Palace are the picture galleries. Here are ex- hibited a really fine collection of paintings, which have been kindly lent by their owners. Here, among Many others, is Turner's ‘“‘Raysdach,”’ in field’s “Ischia,” Elmore’s “Tuileries,” Ansdell’s ‘“Tl'wo Donkeys," Faed’s Orange Girl’ and “The Despair of Eve,” Ward’s “Marie Antoinette in Paris,” Roberts’ St, Paui’s from “The Minuet,” Redmayne’s “Eugene Aram," Linnell’s ‘Collecting Stock,” Solomon's ‘Waiting for the Verdict” and ‘“Acquit- tal,’ Cope’s “Night Alarm,” and @ “Portrait. of ady Mary Craven” by Sir F. Grant. Thus it will be seen that the directors have been for- te enough to bave some real gems of English art entrusted to their care. In the third gallery ts a collection for the most part belonging to one gentleman, and in- cluding Cattermole’s “Old English Hospitality” and “Shakespeare Relating His First Sonnet.” It is very rich in water colors, including thirty ex- amples by David Cox and sixteen Turners, and 8) Chalet o etary Wa Ge i a ogether the picture gallery e & great attraction t@ 2p building, " ¥ eye .

At the municipal election in Lyons yesterday, held under the act recently passed by the Assem- bly, thirty-five out of thirty-six radical nominces were chosen, MACMAHON’S ADDRESS. ‘The Address of the Newly Elected Presi- dent of the French Republic to the Na- tional Assembly at Versailles. g PARIS, May 28, 1873, Marshal MacMahon has not kept the National Assembly long in suspense regarding the course he intends to adopt in the government of the coun- try. When the sessien opened yesterday the Duke de Broglie, Vice President of the Council, an- nounced that he had in his possession a message from the newly elected President of the Republic which, he sald, he had been requested to read to the representatives of the land. Of course the mere announcement of such @ decument was sul- Aictent to call forth exeitement in the Assembly. Loud calls were made to “read” from the Right, but the members of the Left remained moderately quiet, So faras the message is concerned, it ap- pears to be but a paraphrase of the letter by which the Marshal accepted the Presidency. Both decu- ments speak upon two points principally, the libera- tion of the territory and the restoration of moral order, @ question of finance on the one side and a question of policy on the other. This, after all, is but the continuation of the government as M, Thiers had organized it. The government of Mar- shal MacMahon, in effect, has little to do with the evacuation. The treaty has been negotiated and four milliards of the five demanded by Germany are already in the exchequer of the latter government. Nevertheless it will be generally gratifying to learn that, while he intends to follow up the course adoptea by nis predecessor in the matter of freeing the soil of France of the presence of the invader, MacMahon will not, at least for the present, at- tempt any new reforms that might give rise to fresh complications in the country. MACMAHON'S ADDRESS TO THE DEPUTIES. The Duke, in introducing the subject of the mes- sage, made a slight appeal for an attentive hear- ing, and then read as follows: — GENTLEMEN—Called by the National Assembly to the Presidency of the Kepublic, I have exercised promptly the power you confided to me, and have chosen & Ministry whose members are selected from your ranks, (Cheers.) The idea whieh nas guided me in the formation of this Ministry, and that which will inspire the Ministry in all its acts, is respect for the will of the Assembly and the de- sire to be always its scrupulous executor. (Ap- plause from the Right and Cent The right of the majority is the rule of all parliamentary gov- ernments—(cheers)—but this rule has a special necessary application to the institutions we gov- ern, in virtue of which the magistrate charged with executive power is bat the delegate of the Assembly—(cheers)—with whom rests the sole au- thority and who is the active expression of the laws. (Cheers.) This Assembly, in the course of the two fre of its existence, has had two great tasks to perform; liberate our territory which was invaded after a frightful struggle, and re-establish order among a society torn by a spirit of revolution, The first of these tasks has been pursued with a constant devotion, not by the majority alone, but with a pertect unanimity on the part of the repre- sentatives of France. Neither of the great measures, which had for their object the recovery of our national independ. ence, has called forth a debate, nor been met with @ severe epposition. It is not too much to say that these measures could not have been carried if the country herself, the entire country, had not ready, though onerous enough some of them were, to ac- cept them with heroic patience and without either a@ declamation or a murmur. (Cheers.) This agreement of all classes was the principal force which aided the illustrious man, whom I replace, in his methodical and eae negotiations, and from whom only @ difference of opinion, which L deplore, has separated you. (Cheers.) I count upon yeu, gentlemen, to exert the same force with the efforts I shall make in order to finish, by the COMPLETE FULFILMENT OF OUR ENGAGEMENTS, that work which, thank God, is now nearly accom- plished. The task will also be facilitated by the excellent relations which the recent government has established between France and foreign powers, and which I shail endeavor to maintain. My line of conduct, in this respect, will be exactly that which has been several times indicated by my pre- decessor to this tribunal, and which you have al- Ways approved; maintain that peace we have so lughly professed and practised, so that Europe, con- | vinced of our sincerity, may see in the reorganiza- tion of the army (at which I shall continue tolabor without relaxation) but the legitimate desire to re- pair our forces, and to recover the rank to which we are entitled. (Cheers.) | In the policy of the interior the sentiment that has | dictated all your acts nas been that of social conser- vatism. Of the great laws you have passed an im- i mense majority have had this essential conserva- | tive character. Sometimes divided upon questions | merely political you have, nevertheless, been | found ready to unite upon the ground of defence of the great funcamental principles: upon which society rests, and which 1s menaced to-day by so many audacious attacks. The government which you represent ought, therefore, to be, and will be, I pledge you, energetically and resolutely conservative. (Cheers.) The very important laws upon . THE ORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY, upon municipal administration, public instruction, and other qnestions which affect interests of the first commercial and financial order, are either | prepared or now under discussion in your commissions. On these, I think, | have chosen ministers competent to treat with you. Uther laws, which raise constitutional questions of great . have been presented by my predecessor, on which you will express a decisive opinion. You have taken and will examine ‘them; the govern- ment will also study them with care, and when the day shail arrive that you may judge convenient jor their discussien it will give you on each point raised its weil considered opinion. But while you deliberate, gentlemen, it is the duty and the right of the government to act. Its task is, first of all, that of administrator—that is to say, to insure by daily application the execution of the laws which you have made and to keep au fait regarding public feeling and opinion. (Cheers.) To impress upon the administration entire unity, cohesion, to cause to be respected and on all o sions to respect the law. in giving to all degrees | those functionaries that respect themselves and the laws, is a plain duty, often inoperative, but for this reason all the more necessary to be complied with now, owing to the revolutionary times, and one in which the government will not fail. (Cheers.) Such are, gentlemen, my intentions, which I be- lieve are almost in conformity with yours. To all the tities which command our obedience the As- | sembly adds to them that of being the bulwark of a | society menaced in France and in Europe threugh- out by @ faction which imperiis the peace of all nations, but which camnot hasten your dissolution, because that it sees in you the principal obstacie to its designs. (Applause.) I consider the post in which you have placed me as that of a sentinel who watches over and main- tains the integrity of your sovereign power. (Loud cheers.) adil ENGLAND.

Among those who responded to the call were Mrs. Boddy and her daughter, Mrs. Schi- era, two of the women who were widowed by the Modocs. They tell the following story :— MELANCHOLY STORY BY THE WIDOWS. Messrs. Boddy and Schiera took up three quarter sections of land near the mouth of Lost River last August, and settled there witn their families. On the-morning of November 29 Captain Jack’s band of Indians were attacked on Lost River by a party of volunteers and compelled to retire. Hooker Jim and his party of Modocs were on the north side of the river from Captain Jack and knew of the lat- ter’s defeat, and during the forenoon of the same day Boddy and Schiera were murdered by Hooker Jim and his associates while they were cutting wood and herding sheep, within a mile of their house, and utterly unconscious of danger. The agent of the Yainox Reservation had promised the settlers that any offensive movement against the Indians should be made Known to the whites in time to afford them opportunity to obtain a safe refuge, but the messenger sent by THE AGENT FAILED TO PERFORM HIS DUTY, thereby tacilitating the massacre, and the arrival of Mr. Boddy's team without a driver and the blood upon the wagon was the first intimation of the ter- rible tragedy the poor women received. Before noon they found the bodies of tue murdered men, stripped of all their clothing, at diferent points, within @ few miles of the house. They also met the Modocs, Hooker Jim, Long Jim, Curly-Headed Doc- tor, One-Eyed Mouse, Rick Dare, Hamp Jerry ana Mrs. Hooker Jim, who were all implicated in the massacre. While the Indians went to the house to find other male victims, these women escaped and travelled night and day, suffering many hardships, and reached the house of Mr. Rapp in a completely exhausted condition. General Davis received the women kindly, heard their story, assigned them a tent and promised to assist them to recover their stolen goods, THE LONG AND SHORT PURSES. This morning Hooker Jim and Steamboat Frank, who had just returned from a scout aiter three or four missing Modocs, were taken to the tent occu- pied by the women. Hooker Jim was identified by Mrs. Boddy as one of the Indians concerned in the massacre. In response to some remarks about the Tobbery of the house, Hooker Jim said that Long Jim took the ‘ong purse” ahd he (Hooker Jim) took the “short purse.’ THE WOMEN “GO FOR" THE SAVAGES. At this point of the interview the women became greatly excited, began crying, lost all control of themselves, and started in for desperate work. Mrs. Schiera drew a pistol and went for Steam- boat Frank, and Mrs, Boady drew a knife and dashed at Hooker Jim. THE MODOC CAPTIVES. General Davis interposed and disarmed both the women, receiving in the struggle a slight wound in the palm of his hand, near the thumb, from the knife in Mrs. Boddy’s hands. The savages, during this scene, stood like statues; they neither spoke nor offered resistance. JACK'S CHAINS GALL AIM. It galls Captain Jack and his comrade im custody to see Hooker Jim and Steamboat Frank travelling to and fro at will and armed at that. He does not understand the consequences of turning State's evidence. This afternoon he became greatly excited | and gave vent to bis rage in a fiery oration. He rose in his chains with Schonchin, andin a strong and impressive manner recited his grievances. The purport of what he said is told by Scar-Faced Charley. “He is mad,” says Charley, “to see that white men ‘no treat alt alike.’’ He also complained that while in the lava beds a portion of his fellow captives were waning in their sympathies with him, An officer of the guard came in and compelled him to desist in his wailings. There are now 131 murderers under guard here. A Show of Force to Scare the Reds. Boyin's Camp, June 7, 1873.

Ms At eight o'clock yesterday morning James Fatr- child and his brother Burgess, together with Bogus Charley and Shack Nasty Jim, left here for Boyle's Camp, on the Peninsula, with the Modoc Prisoners captured in this neighborhood. There are other Indians larking in this vicinity, and they will likely be captured in a few days. of Modocs Charge. San Francisco, June 9, 1873, Despatches from Boyle's Camp, dated yesterday, relate the particulars of @ massacre ef Modoc prisoners, supposed to’ have been perpetrated by Oregon volunteers, On Saturday morning James Fairchild and about @ dozen other men left Fair- child’ ranch, Cottonwood Creek, with soven- teen Modoc captives, including women and children and Shack Nasty Jim, Bogus Charicy, Tehee Jack, Pony and LittieJonn, The Indians were in a wagon drawn by four mules, At the crossing of Lost River tne patty encountered a body of Oregon volunteers, undér command of Captain Hiser, The soldiers gathered about the wagon and questioned Fairchild. The latter told them the Indians were all Hot Creeks except Little John, and that there were no charges against them, Fatrehiid undertook to push on to Boyle's Camp and the volunteers retired to their camp, near Crawiey’s, On the ronda Fairchild NOTICED TWO MEN ANBAD riding to Rocky Point, as tr to intercept him. When the team approached the two men one of them Presented a neeGlegun at Fairchild, saying:— “Get down you old whiteheaded son of a b—h” “By what authority ?” said Fairchild. “By mine. I am going to kill the Indians and you, too,” was the reply. The leader caught hold of the mules and un+ hitched them, cutting the harness. Fairchild, clinging to the lines, leaped to the ground. The poor wretches implorett for mercy and begged Fairchild to save them. THE WARRIORS WERE UNARMED and knew that resistance was uscless. They were tbe coolest in the party, although facing inevitable death, but the women and children shrieked, groaned, and wept piteously. Fairchild had nothing but a small pistol, and six inches from his ear was the muzzle of a needle guh. He says that the tears came into his eyes, and that he mingled his entreaties with those of the Modocs, in hopes that the massacre might be avoided, He adds:— IT WAS A TERRIBLE SCKNE— one I never shall forget. I shudder when I think What I saw and heard. The fearful voices of those women and children still ring in my ears, But the cowardly hounds were not to be balked. A shot, and Little John lay dead in the wagon with @ bullet in his brain, The mules dashed away with Fairchild, who be- came entangled in the lines. Five more shots were fired in rapid succession, by which Tehee Jack, Pony and Moech were killed, and Little John’s squaw frightfully wounded in the shoulder. ASSISTANCE ARRIVES TOO LATE. Away ahead on the road, in the direction of Boyle’s Camp, @ cloud of dust was perceived, indi- cating the approach of a team. The murderers espied the dust, and shortly afterwards were riding | rapidly away. Sergeant Murphy, of battery G, Fourth artillery, with ten men and a teamster, came up to the scene of the massacre. The Ser- geant took charge of affairs and remained with his men on the ground, GENERAL DAVIS INFORMED OF THE. BUTCHERY. Fairchild, a teamster, and the wounded squaw, with her two children, came in at two o'clock this morning. Fairchild reached General. Davis’ head- quarters and related bis story. Teams with an escort were at once sent to bring the prisoners, dead and alive. WHERE ARE THE MURDERERS? No steps were taken for the apprehension of the felons who performed the bloody work. It is gene- rally supposed that the guilty parties were Oregon volunteers. Fairchild ts of that opinion himself. ‘The warriors killed were not charged with mur- Those who know them best say that they have only participated in open fights. Every one here condemns the affair as atrocious and without excuse, There is no doubt that the murders were carried out upon @ carefully arranged plan, as Fairchild noticed horsemen on the road ahead and behind him when the shots were fired.
