NINETEENTH YEAR. FRIDAY: MORNING, JUNE 21, 1880, NUMBER 3. INPUDENT OLD RED CLOUD, | He Orders the 8ioux Commisaion to Leave the Reservation. YESTERDAY'S NEW DISCOVERY. Amerionn Horse Stumps the Commis- sion on the Question of Lines—An Indian Lawyer Developed— A Bait for Warner, The Obstinate Pine Ridgers. Pixe Ripes, June 20, (via Rushville).— [Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—This has been tho most successful council yet had with these people, and at the same time the most satisfactory, as it has developed one of the most talented lawyers in the tribe, a man ‘whosoe shrewdness 1s a match for the ordinary white lawyer, It also revealed the further fact of the perfect nature of the three payts of the commission, which are as perfectly fitted together for this work as the metals in an electric belt. All are necessary. This afternoon, at the request of American Horse, the commission met the Indians in council and conducted an examination into the merits of the present bill. After American Horse had asked some questions in relation to the issue of oxen instead of horses, as re- quested by them while in Washington re- cently, and mentioned the map which showed the reservation colored in dark red, saying he had lain awake many nights thinking about this matter, but still could not under- stand it, Major Warner addressed the coun- cil firing somewhat of humor at them. He also explained the little box-shaped piece, which shows on the map as land belonging to Nebraska, but which was included in the reservation to prevent the white men selling whisky to the Indians. This brought out the question of lines, which again and again came up n the discussion. ‘When Major Warner attempted an expla- nation of this matter American Horse coolly informed him he thouzh he knew nothing ut all about the matter. He asked General Crook what he knew about the matter, re- ceiving a reply that the general knew poth- ing. Tho general further informed them that he had asked the secretary of the interior to have the line surveyed, and when the line is thus nurvclyeu it will be permanent. When the general spoke of surveying with an in- strument working by the stars American Horse said he guessed the stars jumped about a great deal when some lines were run. The misunderstanding about the liuc arises from the old agreement made at the time of the treaty of 1808, whereby the Indians were allowed hunting privileges south to the Re- publican river, though the reservation line was then fixed as far north as tho Nebraska lie. This right to hunt was relinquished later for $25,000, as mentioned by Red Cloud the other day. American Horse spoke of the pleasures of meeting with friends and referred to the adoption of Governor Foster into the tribe by the name of *Young-Man-Proud-of-kis- Tail, and hoped he would not soon desert them. He also tock consideration of Major Warner, and informed him that there were many fine horses here and beaatiful women, who would be happy to ride out with him ana entertain him, so he hoped they would be in no hurry to leave soon, but would remain long enough to have this matter thoroughly discussed. Ho also asked them to telegraph to the great father and ask him to find some- o‘ns who knew about the line of the reserva- tion. This was explained as unnecessary, to which American Horse said, he was glad to know this commission were honest. Whnen he had asked the other commissioners to telograph to the great father, they had said: **Yes! yes!” and then gone away into a room and written out a dispatch which they brought back saying: “There is what the great father says; now do not be afraid of suything here, for nothing shall mar the peace of this hour, was his assurance,” Governor Foster also spoke to them at length concerning theirirequests,and promis ing to use lus influence to have them granted by the great father and also explamed the conditions under which they took the signa- tures of the squaw-men and half-breeds. The council took on the nature of a conversation, each one speaking briefly, American Horse asking questions and making statements, quaintly " illustrated Dy natures’ own refercnces, and the com- mission each taking turns answering ques- tions, Tke most perfect harmony existed throughout the proceedings, which ouly were adjourned when the gathering shades of evening made it necessary, Tic disposition displayed in the meeting to know all aout the matter is a favorabla symptom, and a breakdown 18 looked for about Friday or Saturday; when this comes the work will soon be completed Lere. The Recalcitrant Redskin. Pixe Rinor, (via Rushville) June 20.— (Special Telegram to Tus Bee.]—This morn- ing an opportunity was given those who so desired, to sign the rolls, and a few availed themselves of the opportunity thus offered them, but novhing compared to the rush at Rosebud on the second day of signing. The time is not yet quite up, and further explana} tions are necessary, It will be remembered that at Rosebud number of half-breeds were ecmployed o g complete explanations and analysis of the bill at private councils of the In- dians. Here this has been largely lacking. With & view to this General Croolk held a council with the white men and half-breeds, at which means and measures were discussed and plans laid for efMcient work among the Indiaus who are now in doubt, Red Cloud asked for a council with Gen- eral Crook, from which he desired even the official stenographer should be excluded. This left the corresnondents on the fenve to Jook with longing eyes across the green, where an immense concourse was in council with the general. At this council Red Cloud wes the principal speaker, He persisted in in misinterpreting the treaty of 1868, and said the government had refused to do as it had agreed. He did not want anything to do with the commission. Continuing, he grew very angry aud fmpertinent, ovdering all those who came with this commission to leave the resorvation, and at once, too, General Crook called a balt at this juncture and toid RRed Cloud some of the past parts of his history with which he was fawiliar. He also mentioned why he issued the order to seizo all of the Indian ponies und leave them afoot, because Red Cloud would not listen to reason, but declared his intention of going on the warpath. The generul also gave other instauces of the duplicity of Red Cloud.in tho past transactions he had with him, and expressed his obvious desire in this case to obtain all the rewards. ‘The council broke up by a suggestion of General Crook that those who desired should £0 10 the agent's ofico and sign, aud others who were opposed should so state. This led 10 o regular stampede of Lied Cloud's, Big Road’s and Little Wouuds' bands passing through the agent's office in single file to the number of nearly four hundred, each one de- cluring himsolf opposed to signing. A notable exception to the action of these Sioux is that of the Cheyennes, who held a couucil in the afternoon and decided to sign in & body. These Indians are a much braver and more industrious class than the joux, General Crook gives them high raise as soldiors and fighters and promises give them ull the assistance in his power to accomplish the desire of their hearts w be united on one reservation with their ple, Who are now, most of them, on the m;«uu Liver reservation in Mootana. AL this time there are about three hun- dred numes sigued to the rolls, and itis ~hoped & reaction will soon take place and ke work be done rapidly frewm this day on. POOR PROHIBITION.

Cuircago, June 20.—|Special Telegram to Tue Ber.|—Vice-President McMullin, of the Altan, declares the figures relative to Kan- sas City shipments of live stock, sent out last night by Chairman Walker, of the In- ter-state Commerce Railway association, to bo misteading. ‘‘There is no use trying to obscure the main question,” said he, to-day; “‘the controversy was on cattle and live stock *of all kinds. Here are the correct figures and they show our reason for withdrawing from the association. For the week previous to the decision of the executive board order- ing the St. Paul to take no more than two train loads of cattle a week from Kangas City, that road hauled sixty-eight cars. Ior the week following the decision, aad hen it was supposed to be in full force and effect, the St. Panl hauled 128 cars. Now thut the St. Paul is waking a great display of the fact that it is carrying no cattle, cuts no possible figure. Just bear in mind that the St. Paul only refused cattle shipments after the Alton wae out of the association. We have no thanks to offer any one for the business wa are now doing. Our own agents get it for us in the open market. We have no hard feelings at all against the associa- tion. We are out and intend to stay out, but hope the association will have a long and prosperous existence.” 2 e The Northwestern Cat. CnrcaGo, June 20.—|Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]—The break in the northwestern rates is docketed for consideration by the Western Freight association for to-morrow mornang. Chairman Faithorn announces that a resolution will be proposed that through rates on northwestern business be advanced to the local basis. If adopted, this will make the through rate to St. Paul the sum of the local to Chicago and from Chi- cago to St. Paul. Many of the roads favor this plan, as it will punish the trunk line roads, which control central traffic roads, for pro-rating with the lake lines. It is hinted that the question may be postponed until a week from to-day. If it is, the North- ern Freight association, or its individusl members, will have large-sized suits on their hands, brought by the Chicago Freight bu- reau, charging discrimination against the Chicago merchants. A The Parncll Commission, LoNDON, June 20.—At & meating of the Parnell commission, to-day, Thomas P. O'Connor, member of parliament, stated that the turning point in the agrarian strug- gle m Irelande was the rejection of the compensatiou for improvements bill. There- upon tenants were compelled to combine in accordance with PParnell’s policy, which sub- stituted constitutional agitation for revolu- tion, and open for secret combination. O'Connor denied that either the league or he sympathized with crime. e A Belligerent Mutter.

News Glatherers Take Advantage of the Dearth of Items. THE EXTRA SESSION ANXIETY. Congressman Browne Will Interview the President About the Oce tober Kumor-—Olarkson Explains, Wasninarox Buneau, T OMATA Bre, 518 FountreNTa STRRET, Wasnivaron, D, C.. June 20. The next few days promise to be more than usually dull in Washington. To-mor- row morning the president will leave for Cape May to spend Sunday with his family. Later in the day several members of the cabinet depart for their homes or the sea- shore or mountains, To-day a great many newspaper correspondents called on Secre- tary Windom and asked him to say whether there 18 daoger in ‘“'scoops” fn important treasury appointments. The secretary in- formed each one that it would be perfectly safe to take a brief vacation, as it is not at all likely that there will be any important appointments during the next few days. The correspondents therefore went away happy and to-morrow morning 90 per cent of all now in the city will accept the invitation of the Penusylvania railroad company to spend a few days at Cresson Springs in the Alle- ghany mountains. This company makes it a crncll(‘u to invite the newspaper men of Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia to accept of its' hospitality, and the trips are extremely enjoyable. The party will start from Washington at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning and will return on Monday evening. EXTRA SBSSION ANXIETY, There is the utmost anxiety expressed among members of congress of both political perties to ascertain whether or not it is the intention of the president to call congress to another extra session in October. No satis- factory information has thus far been se- cured from any reliable source on this point, Congressman Browne, of Indiana, is one of the anxious ones, and he has made up his mind to know if the probability of such a thing is possible. Consequently he will in- terview the president on the subject as soon a8 tha latter returns from Cape May, and at that time it is likely that some general infor- mation will be given out. A FEW WORDS BY CLARKSON. To a caller who made some inquiries of him, First Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson to-day said, in a few words, what oupr]ht to open the eyes of his mugwumpian critics. ‘It should be remembered,” said he, “‘that if President Cleveland had not appointed democrats in place of republicans there would be very few democrats for the present administration to remove, in order to make room for the republicans now being up- pointed. ‘There is another thing which is not gonerally known, and that is that nearly all the democratic postmasters who are now being removed ave losing their places on the reports of inspectors upon the conduct of their offices, and in ulmost every instance the inspector who makes the report is a demo- crat, for the very good reason that we have very few republican inspectors to make reports.” Mr. Clarkson added that the men who are now going out have almost invariably served four years, and it scemed that the people, when they had had anything to say lately, had voted that four years was about the proper timo for a federal official to hold office. A PRETTY SCHEME “BUSTED,” It was reported at the postoffice depart- ment, to-day, that the action of the president in signing the amendment to the civil service rules, which permits the reinstatement of ex- union soldiers and sailors who have been dis- charged from the civil service, without ex— amination, will result in the reappointment of fifteen or twenty postoftice inspectors who were removed during the last administra- tion, Chief Postoftice Inspector Rathbone said, to-day, that the service contamns at present about one hundred and forty demo- crats to ten republicans. It will be remem- bered that the last admini on applied tho civil service rules to this branch of the government soon after nearly every republi- can had been turned out. The dcsl)'n of this was, without ‘doubt, to placate the mug- wumps and prevent the return of diseharged republicans. The scheme was a very pretty one, and if it had been aliowed to stand there would have been precious few republicans on the force of mspectors until the present 140 democratic incumbents re- sign or die. The change in the rules wnsures the appointment of some men at least whose army records are as honorable as their civil records. It will result also in the appoint- ment of men who are familiar with the duties of the positions which they will be called upon to perform, The chauge will also haye a decided effect in *bu appointment of clerks in the railway mail service and will prob- ably remove the necessity for calling upon the commission for certified lists for some time to come. It is estimated that it makes eligible for reappointment in this service be- tween two and three hundred ex-soldiers who were dismissed solely because they were republicans, As the change is dis- cussed it meets with more and more ap- vroval, and it is only regretted that the ac- tion was not taken sooner. 10W POSTMASTERS. The following fourth class postmasters for Towa were zppointed to-day: Mackey, Boone county, H, C. Hill; Meltonville, Worth county, G. R. Overholt; Rockford, Floyd county, Alexander McEbroy, WAITE'S APPEAL GRANTED, The appeal of Fred G. Waite, transferee, from the decision of the general land office, requiring new publications and new proof in support of the pre-emption cash entry No, 2220, of the north 3¢ ofthe northeast i and the north 3¢ of tho northwest %{ of section 29,718 norib, range 20 west, made May 29, 1384, at the Grand Island land ofice, Neb., was decided, to-day, by Assistant Secretary Chandler, who holds that new proof is not necessary, and that the entry should be passed to patent.

The Articles of Their Faith, With a Plea For Fair Ubnislderation. WasmiNaroy, Juno 20.—At the session of the national camp of the order of Patriotic Sons of America, to-dey, George P. Smith, of Illinols, was elocted president for the en- suing two years, Bostonwas chosen as tho next place of meeting, in October, 1890, At the afternoon session the foliowing was prepared for the press: To tho press of America: TIn view of the fact that the principles of this order and the objects of its existence have been incorrectly presented, and inasmuch as an incident con- nected with the presidential roception has been misrepresented, this national camp re- quests a fair and impartial consideration of our declaration of prineiples, Article 1. Next to love for tho Creator, wo believe patriotism is the highest and noblest affection of the human soul. We believe tho institutions of no country are safe without patriotism, and that nono will so jealously finr(l and protect them as those who are rn and raised under their influence. Wo believe we have the best form of govera- ment for the masses on thé face of the earth. Article 2. For the welfare, prosperity and liberty of all American citizens and their de- scendants, we desire to protect our form of government, preserve it intact from the the influence of any foreign power by discrimi- nating sentiments of loyalty and patriotism, and by establishing a fraternal feeling of de- votion to our country smongst all Americans. We hope to make it inipossible for any one to live under the protection of the ‘‘stars and stripes” who does not honoriand revere it, and who would not be willing to give up his lifo in defense of the principles of freedom and justice which it represents. Article 8. We desire to sustain the purity of the ballot, and to have it intelligently and legitimately used. Article 4. We beliove our system of freo public schools is the bulwark of our liberty, and we insist that they bo kept absolutely free from all ecclesiastical and sectarian in- fluences, and under the influence of local secular officers elected by the peopie. Article 5. We cordially welcome all those foreigners who come to this country with the honest desire of becoming loyal ‘Ameri- can citizens, and who sincerely disavow any and all allegiance to foreign potentates and governments, and who houor and revere our national flag, Article 6. We are opposed to the occu- pancy of any part of our land by l'orm’zn speculators who do not wish to become cit- izens, and we believe all resources and priv- ileges of this country should be reserved for the eglusive use of its citizens, either native or naturalized, Article 7. We are in favor of crushing out those which are already here, and of taking measures which will prohibit ' from entrance into our parts in the futare of that foreign element which comes here to advocate com- munism and_nihilism, and which does not identify itsclf with our’'country, and does not respect our flag. Article 8. We invite allnative born citizens who believe in their country and its institu- tions, and who desire to perpetuate free gov- ernment, and who wish to_encourage proper feeling among Americans, to the end that we may exalt our country, to join with us in this, our work of fellowship and love. We call the espeeial attention of thoso reporters who have styled us as “lriow nothings” and “‘anti-Catholics,” to article 5, and quote from our official expose, *We have no quarrel with any mun on account of wationulity or relig- ion, but we wish to ‘nuqord equal justice to all ‘American citizens,” The article from th{address of our na- tional president, so @xtémsively quoted, re- quires no apology, nud?n;s order 1n national convention assembled unhesitatiugly declares there is no room in _this republican govern- ment for any organization, under whatsoever name, which advocates and practices murdor and assassination, and we believe every in- telligent citizen, native or foreign born, who has read the_evidence presented to the coro- ner's jury, of Chicago, relative to the Cronin murder, has felt this to be true and that their existence is a constant menace to our gov- ernment, The badge Incident, so sensation- ally characterized as a “Burchardism,” is a misrepresentation. The reception, by the presiednt, was cordial and gratifying to the members of this order. ———— STRIKE AT JOHNSTOWN. Many Men Quit Work and a Riot is Feared. Jonxstows, Pa., June 20.—The strike among the laboring men here is fairly on, and this morning there are not a thousand men all told at work. Those employed by McKnight, the Pittsburg contractor, are idle and dissatisfied, and the discord is spreading to the other workmen. Overbear- ing bosses and short rations, for which the men are made to pay liberaliy, are the griey- ances. The military are on active duty this morning, and the local company of the Fifth regiment has been ordered out. While overything appears quiet on the surface, there is fear that the undercurrent of dis- cord will break out at any time, and that a riot will follow. The committee appointed at a meeting of the striking laborers this morning reported to a meeting held an hour later that all foreign workmen had quit work, but at the request of the strikers the local men continued work. Another meeting will be held to-day. Five bodies were recovered this morning, among them being a mother and two chil- dren. The children were locked in the mother’s arms. Sixteen bodies were found to-day and many of them were immediately buried after being completely covered with oil. The stench is becoming daily more sickening and unbeuarable. The Women's Christian Tem- erance Union opened coffee stunds for the purpose of giving hot coffee free to laborers, The first clear day here since the awful calamity found work among the ruins practically suspended, and upon the samo ground where havoe was 8o recently wrought capital and labor are wrestling in a bitter and threatening contest, and the quiet, subdued feeling which prevailed since the flood is giving way to one of unrest, discord and danger, yet there has been no open outbreak, but repeated breaches of the peace occurred dllrlni the day, and to-night a free fight nccurred in which one man was probably fataily injured. All the idle men who cap get intoxicated are drink- ing to-night, It bas beén announced to- night that the strilte, ‘which began this morning, has been declared off, and a thous- aud more men have been paid and dis- charged, but the dischagged men as yot re- fuse to abandon the pl: and the authori- ties have announced ' tl all idlers must leave to-morrow, elsé militia will be called to drive them away.

Eraiy, Neb., June 20.—[Speclal Telegram to Tie Bes.]—Word was brought to town at an early hour this morning that Nick Foley had shot Pomeroy Clark and wife, killing Mrs, Clark instantly and shghtly wounding her husband. Mr. Clurk lives about three miles north and one mile cast of this place, and when the report reached here warranty were sworn out and placed in the hands of the constuble, who, in company with a doctor, started at once for Mr. Clark’s. It scoms that Foley was in lovo with Miss EMle Riggs, a sister of Mrs. Clark, and the ' young lady wished to have nothing to do with im, His prospects in that direction were not very encouraging and he became des- perute. Last night Foley went to Clark's residence about 13 o'clock, aud going up stairs shot Mr. Clark, iflicting a slight wound in his side. Mr. Clark grappled with him nud threw him cut of the door. Foley then procured u ladder and clambered up to the chamber window. Mrs. Clark heard hum at tho window and, sitting up in Ded, usked what_was the matter. In reply she recoived a bullet in the head, instantly killing hor. Foley thon fired several more shots at Clark und Miss Rigas, who had hastened to the scene, but without any effect, Tie Bek correspondent wout to the scene of the murder, but was unable to interview Clark on account of the doctor’s positive ordors to tho contrary. Thecoronars inquest was held at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and the evidence was as follows: Foley, who had been staying at Clark’s off and on for several years, went to Clark’s a few days ago and commenced to quarrcl with Miss Riggs. Mrs, Clark interfered, and attempted_to drive bim away, but Foley turned on her and commenced to' curse her. Mrs. Clark then called her husband, who was at the barn, to come and help them. Clark came to the house and ordered Foley to leave and not come back again. Foloy loft, swear- ing he would kill Henry Riges, the young lady’s fathor, bofore tho weelt was out, Lst night one of Clark’s children became réstive, and about 11 o'clock Clark arose and gave the child some medicine. He went to ped and fell usleep at ouce. How long he slept he does not know, but thiuks it was only @ short time. Suddenly he felt something strike him in the sid and he sprag up in bed, exclaming: “Who is striking moe?"* Mrs. Clark cried out: ‘*‘Some one shot you Clark sprang out of the bed and ran iuto the adjoining room and heard some per- son down stairs in his socking feet. Clark turned to the room and pulled the bed against cho door to prevent the assassin’s re- turn. About eighteen or twenty min- utes elapred when Mrs. Clark, who was sitting on the side of the bed next to a glass door in the ved chamber, heard a noise and said, “I hear some one climbing up to the window.” She thon parted the curtain neered out, dodging back immediately, and again peeped, when o pistol flashed in her face and she dropped back dead, without a word. The assassin then turned his firing on Miss Riggs, who was sitting in the oppo- site corner of the room, and fired four shots at her withour domng any damage.

Gresnam, Neb,, June 50.—[Special Tele- gran to Tie Bee.]—The phase of the ques- tion which was generally given credence yesterday that the arrestof John Leavity and his wife was merely to remove them to a place of safety from violence that was feared might be done, is to-day changed, and the real meaning of thew arcest begins to be realized. The deputy sheriff this morning issued a summons for the appearance av Seward of a number of persons to be useid as witnesses. On what thaory or circumstances tho arrest is based docsfnot appear, porhaps, to none but the officers who are adepts at keepmng their own council. 1f they have any grounds for their belief, the examination will reveal it. Several newspaper representa- tives visited the scene of the great double tragedy this afternoon. There have been comparatively few visitors to the place to- day and it begins to take on 1ts usual overy day appearance. Two of the old people's sons and three of their married mulxhle{n are the occupants of the house. One of the men constantly patrols his bea around the house and warns those who come to get a glimpse of the place not to tie their horses to the trees, which have been already ruined by teams. The grass all about the premiscs is trampled almost nto the earth and the row of cottonwood trees which lined one side of the {lnrm is robbed of its bark for nearly half a mile. The Garnishee Law.

The Man Who Joined the Army and Secret Socictios to Betray Them =No Fears That He Will Appeal. Court-martialing a Scoundrel. Citieaao, Juno 20.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bre.)—Le Caron, the British spy, was to-night tried by his comrades in Winfleld Hancock Post, No. 560, G. A. R., and sum- marily dismissed from the Grand Army of the Republio. The charges agamst him were that he was unworthy of being a comrade of the other members, and the tefal was brought about by his testimony given in the Parnell case. Added to this 18 a story of peculiar interest as to his identification by the members of the post, and which points to the fact that Lo Caron not only spent his time in America in acting as a spy against the Irish revolutions ists, but also joined the United States army, and the Gi. A. R. for the purpose of giving mformation to the British government, About two years ago an Irishman of this city brought Le Caron to Licutenant of De- tectives Goorge Heintzman, and introduced tho two; Lie Caron had joined Post 500 some time before. Heintzman, who was major ot the Eighty-second regiment, Illinois volunteers, has great influence in Grand Army circles and is also a member of Post 560. At the time of the introduction, Major Heintzinan paid no attention to Le Caron, and tho mat- ter passed out of his mind. The day after Le Caron gave his testimony in the Parnell nquiry, the Irishman came to Major Heintz- man in a4 most excited frame of mind. He asked the major if he remembered Leé Caron, to whom he introduced him. The major re- plied that he did not. The Irishman then de- nounced Le Caron in most vigorous terms and declared that if he had known the ine former's true character he would never have introduced him or have been secn with him in Grand Army circles. It happened that in a room adjoining that where the con- versation took place was the Rev. Faiter Dunne, of Joliet, Will Cowl and a brother of Dr. Dinn, formerly city physician of Chi- cago. When the Irishman left the major asked Father Dunne what he thought of that yarn. The latter said: “It is true, every word of it. Hois the same man who has confessed to being an English spy. He and his family are my parishioners,” An investigation was immediately started. Le Caron's papers, on which he got into the post, were examined. 1t was found that he ‘Wwas a private in the Sixteenth Pennsylvania infantry during the war and rose to the rank of licutenant in a colored infantry regiment, His history in Braidwood, Will county, 1lL., where he kept a drug store, was looked into. It was found that he simply acted as a spy on the actions of the miners in that section, who were members of the I R.. B, ‘Then bis Chicago record was looked up, and the inference was made that his object in joining the G, A. R. was to spy into the se- crets of that order, and especially to look after the Irish members of it, Whon these facts were learned Father Dunne procured a photograph of Le Caron. o This bited to all the members of the post. immediately recognized, A notice of the intended proceedings was sent. to Le Curon, but no reply has baen received. A court martial was ordered. The court. met to-night, and after duly considering the evidence, Le Caron, alias Boach, was dis- missed in disgrace. He has a chauce to ap- peal to James S, Martin, department com- mander of Illmois, and if this fails he can take one to General Willam Warner, of Kansas City, Mo, commander-in-chief. Haucoclk post has no fear of an appeal. e e MORE YELLOW JACK, Two Cases Brought to Brooklyn by a Pacific Mail Steamship. New York, June 20.—[Special Tclegram to Tue Bee.]—Dr, R. A. H.
