examination of the wound by Dr. Klrby
showed that thu bullet had penetrated the
back about half an Inch below tho left
shoulder blade. Tho ball ranged upward
and Inward, toward tho tfplnal column, but
did not touch tho vertebra?. Tlio bullet
Is evidently lodged In tho muscles ol
tho back, and beyond a slight shock

but as tho wounded man has expcctoiated
no blood this was afterwards pronounced
Impossible. Had the spinal column been

no danger to bo apprehended. 1 he doctors
will probe again for the bullet to-iuorroti

to the hospital Itossa was moved to another

serious enough tu warrant his making an

Kansas City, January CO. A special
correspondent of the Time telegraphs from
Arkansas City: 1 arrived hero at nine
'clock and found that Captain Couch and
party had ramped within six miles of this
place. Thero ovaa considerable excitement
over tho arrival ot the returning party and
a great meeting of the cltlzons was In pro
gress. Couch's party Is encamped on tn
Stato line tbotit six miles below, and will
rrlvc heroin the morning about ten o'clock.
1'hey reached the line with only pror'-tlons
enough to do them to-day. Tho citizens

here as well as all over the country regard

Mistalntng hardships nnd privations hs pro

retain hold upon tho claims as United
States citizens In forbidden territory. Citi
zens will form In the morning aud with a
brass band will proceed eouth and escort
tho boomers Into the elty with flagn waving
and banners on the outer wall. Mr. Wor
rat, of the party who came Into the city to
night, indignantly denies that Captain
Couch surrendered, as reported by General
Hatch. He says they were ordered
to surrender, when Couch ro
turned a peremptory refusal. Tn
Hatch said ho would lire tn Hum
next morning. The boomers srald in their
entrenchments, and finally Conch told the
forces that he would quietly leavo the camp
and go to the Kansas line, more on account
of want of provisions than from any de
mand made by tho military. Worrall says
that tho cavalry had cut off supplies nnd
they saw that thoy were being starred out
and it was discretion oir their part tn w
turn. In a conversation between Worrall
and your correspondent, I learned that tlio
Couch party went into camp on tlio still
water about December IS, laid out tho
town plat and commenced tho con
struction of log houses nnd dug outs.
About January 1 a heavy snow fell
and the work was Interrupted. Supplies
came In sufficient to meet the demand
until three weeks ago. When they first
heard of tho military forces tint r Hatch,
preparations to protect themselves com
menced and n lino of defense constructed.
Deer'nnd tttikcy were brought Into Couch's
camp In abundance. Thero was no sur
render and the disposition on the part of
the boomers to cvacuato tho territory was
not so considered. Monday was spent In
preparing to leave, and Tucsdar morning
found them on their vuiy. The
meeting of tho cltzrns tonight
was largely attended and resolu

THE CRANT BILL.
Wist Orneral Hlnenm Has tn Say About
the Hill to Il.tlr aenernl Crint.
Wasuinoton, January 20. General Slo
cum, speaking of the prospects of getting
General Grant upon the retired list of the
army, said there wero pending two bills
which had that object In view. Thu first
which mentions Genetal Grant by name
russed the Senate with only one dissenting
vote. The second, which was so framed as
to avoid the difficulty expressed In .tho veto
of the Fitz John Porter bill, passed tin
wider ln
inniTften"ol'
opiwrtnnlty to
bring the first bill before that body. "Sumo
f i lends of General GrauV said Hcpresenta
live Slocum, "wanted me to call up tho sec
ond bill Instead of the first, which, of cjuisc,
I could not tlo, as I was acting un ler In'
structlons from my committee. The Houso
Committee then took up the two bills and
discussed them fully, and the question was
whether the Instructions which already had
been given me should be changCn, and I
should be InMmded tn bring up tho second
bill or not. Every Democrat on tho commit
tee, and one-half the republicans present,
voted not to chinge tho Instructions, but
to have me call up tho original bllL That
I was prepared to do a week ago to-day,
and should have called It up, aud think it
would have passed had It not been for dila
tory motions which were made and sus
tained by both Democrats and llepubllrans.
I am told there Is a movement on foot to
call up tho second bill by Mr. Itandall, If he
can get Hie tlnor. Tho difficulty Is In get
ting tho floor and the suspension ot tha
rules, which roquhrs a two-thirds vote.
Hie whole question Is simply whether Con
gress shall deviate from Its usual course In
ills bill in order tu comply with the Pro-n
dent's views, or whether It shall pass tho
bill In tho form it has nlvvays been in the
habit of doing. The question Is whether
tho Democrats are going: to deviate from the
custom or congress in nruer to arcoinmo-
datu themselves to the President's objection
or whether they wHl pass the bill In tho
usual form. My rreferenco Is decidedly for
thu bill In tho usual form, but I will sup
port either bill. The good fc-jllnc ot tha
Houso Commltteo toward General Grant is
shown by the fact that It Instructed me to
bring up the tlrsl bill before the second was
ever introduced or thought of. This shows
the committee to be earnestly In favor of re
tiring General Grant and that the present
muddle Is no trick to defeat the measure,
as ninny pcoplo seem to think."

south from Meteninetu When Stewart
reached that point lie found tlio enemy hov

themselves In the vicinity to await Ills ar

Among the first killed were Mr. Cameron,

was one ot the very first to be wounded.
He was shot In the thlglu When be was
shot tho work of making the zareba was
about completed and tlio army had been
put In motion to form Its battle array. This
was a hollow square. The square win
formal in the following order: In front the
Naval Brigade and Grenadier Gutrds; on
the right flank tho Coldstream
Guards and Scots Guards; 5n the
left flame mounted imantry, and on
tho rear the Sussex Itegiment mid
heavv camel corns. As soon as completed
the square advanced under a steady amhu-.li
kre a distance of two miles. At this point
the enemy began to move upon tho square
In two large echelons. Those were dlieeled
against the British right rrunt, which stood
unmoved. During the rebel charge the
English troops, forming, assaulted the front
and delivered a terrific tiro aimed right at
the enemy's middle, mowing down men In
such heaps that they funned actual obsta

warfare was as disastrous to tho rebels as It
was Irregular on their side. When tha
enemy's Una was broken tho Arabs seemed
to break up into bands, each ot which

to attach tho zareba. This was garrisoned
by a body ot English boldlers, made up ot
little detachments left behind by each corps
which lud gone forward In the square.
Lord Charles Bcrcsford was Iu command.
He sustained the attack for two hours, when

None of the unruly1 spirit which predomi

Tho discussion of reports presented by the
committee on resolutions consumed nearly
the whnlo day. It was participated In by a
large number of delegates, prominent among
whom were Congressman BeUord and Congressman-elect
bymes. At five o'clock a ma
jority report, amended In some unimportant
particulars, passed by a unanimous vote. It
reads as follows:
The 8taies and Territories of Kansas, Col
orado, Utah, Now Mexico, Idaho, Wyoming
nd Arizona, tn convention assembled at
Denver, Col., January IS. itta, adopted tho

Drinclnlesi
First That wo are In favor of tho doo
trlno of bl-metnlism as embodied In tho laws
of the united Htatcs previous to J7t, and
we tirsro the enactment of those laws nt tho
earliest pract'ual moment.
Becond 'iliat In tho Interests of trade
and commerce we demand free and unlimited
coinage nt s-old and silver bullion, at present
the standard of colnsvo.
Third We demand that Congress shall pass
an act directing; the Svcretarr or the Treas
ury to withdraw from circulation all one ami
two dollar bids, In order to ctve a larger cir
culation to standard silver dollars.
Fourth Wo condemn tho Secretaries of
tho Treasury for their unlawful evasions of
the lllnnd bill and other law relating to the
amendment, nnd demand, clearing bouse bal
ances and obligations oftho Uovcrnmpnt be
paid, without discrimination. In gold and
liver orjrold and silver certificates.
llfth That It Is tho sense of this conven
tion, that a law kmendatory of tho National
Hank act bo enacted, whereby said banks
thrqughout the United States shall keep not
less than flftejen per cent, of legal reserves
In National standard silver colui and also
that tho redemption fund ot said banks shall

Sixth That until Congress shall restore
silver to Its ancient, rltrhtfut and constitu
tional equity witti gold in respoct to coinage,
wo demand a liberal construction for the
tun execution or the provisions or tho uiami

Seventh That tho demands and recom
mendations about to be mndo aro based on
broader grounds than any consideration of
tncro sectionalism or protection or a particu
lar Industry: that they are the well nigh for
gotten terras of a wlso constitution and laws
under which this nation has gained Its placo
astbefnrmostuoopleof tho globe; that sil
ver needs no such protection as Is cxteuded
to tho pampered Industries of the Kasts that
this question touches the dearest Interests ot
every human being In this broad land; and
that It involves the question of whether tbo
debt paying medium nt tho nation shall bo so
chantred as to Increase tho value or notes,

and depreciate the valuo of all other proper
ty; and also Involve tho proper execution of

also shattered by the explosion. Shortly
after the explosion four men wero
found In the shadow of the lUvlngston street
station, Elevated road. One ot them,
Miarles Kenfy, a laborer, who said he lived
at Williamsburg, was severely cut on tha
head and face. TlrFothcrs, William Brit

Lamb, painter, were binding Henry's
wounds. All were arrested and remanded,
A bomb or cartrldgo used at last night's ex

underneath the fra,.io work of the window
of Garry Bros.' store. The window casing
and sash wero entirely demolished.
The shock was felt several hundred
feet. A lamp on the shelf of an Eld

the Iron stanchions of the elevated railroad
near the store look as though they receive
violent blows. There Is no evidence that
a cartridge was applied to Illdley's store.

way structure which runs up Allen street
between the two stores, however, the prob
ability U that a good part of Illdley's build
ing would have snlTcred. Many of illdley's
employes came to the spot to guard the
premises. The damage to both buildings Is
$2,500. The pollco aro satisfied that the
explosion Is an ontcome of the strike nt
Garry Bros.' employ es. Burke, a former clerk
of the firm, and who caused the strike, was
dismissed for falling one night to properly
secure the doors of the establishment. The
Dry Goods Clerk's Union, of which ho was
member, tried many methods to sccuro
his reinstatement. They went so far as to
station men In the vicinity ot the store and
ask Intending purchasers to boycott tho
firm. When thu strike was ordered by tho
union the firm was left without a clerk.
The non-nnlon men subsequently employed
have been threatened In various ways.
Garry Bros, also received threat
ening letters, Committees from several
trades unions called upon tho firm, but
Garry Bros, assured them they Intended to
run their own business. Tho persecution,
of the firm became so persistent that steps
for protection have been taken and to
tills end a private meeting of dry goods
dealers was recently held. What actloa
taken was not divulged, but It Is
thought the organization of the dealers
made tlio tnlon moro desperate and
Impelled them to use dynamite. Tho union.
or "Equality Association,' was organized a
year ago.when the employes ot Grand street
homes endeavored to Indttco the proprietors
to close at six o'clock. ItidlcV & Sons,
among other houses, refused to close at that
bour, and for some time thoy wero perse
cuted and Isst June a huge stona shattered :
one of their plate gtass show windows and
the perpetrator was never discovered.

A Colored Vorpso Gets Up anrt Vscan st
the Mourners AVho Still Ilelleve Him
Dead.
Valdosta, Ga., February 2. The to
orcd people of Lowndes County are soma
what mystified over tho IrrcjuiAr proceed
ings ot a corpse which refused the decent
burial with which they wero complimenting
It. rravV-JDttnavniadbcen for years a
leader In colored politics, but he never iodic
to religion. A few days ago he became vio
lently ill, aud, going to bed, ho was duly
beset by weeping sisters and zealous
preachers, but all to no purpose. When
the time came hn died; and a large cou
coarse ot friends and acquaintances
gathered to pay the last tribute to his mem
ory. As U the custom among colored peo
ple, they sang ov er hU body all night. Tho
weird music that floated over the adjacent
forest that night struck a .responsive chord
In the bosoms ot the owls of basser note,
and they Joined In tlio refrain. About mid
night a little bird flitted In one door and out
ot the other. Tills caused the assemblago
to go on lbs knees, when the leader declared
that "sperlts could not harm 'llgious fplks,"
and the singing was resumed. When ady-
itgnt came me weary watchers retailed
one squad to build a coffin and an
other to. dig tho grave. The rude casket
was first completed and conducted to tha
proper place. It was put en two chairs,
facing each other, besldo tha corpse.
Friends drew around to take a last look;
pall-bearers put themselves In position to
bear tho burdeu to tho gravo; the coffin was
held over tbo open grave, and at a word It
was let drop to tho bottom, In an Instant
the lid went Hying off the. collln, and the
dead man arose aud cursed with all the exu
berancy ot n man who had woiked on a
canal. The mourners scattered In every
direction; but tho funny part of It Is tint
they Insist that be Is really dead, cud will
nave nothing to do with him.
