San Marcial, August 4. It is report
ed here that a party of Mescalero
Apache Indians killed two herders and
one miner about twenty miles from this
place to-day. Thirty-eight citizens have
started out after the bodies of the mur
dered men.
MitrtfcrouM niPNcitleroa.
Santa Fe, N. M., August 4. The New
Mexican has information partly from
the military headquarters and partly
private that the raiding Mescalero
Apaches have succeeded in crossing the
Rio Grande, and are now in the San Ma
teo Mountains. They have been close
ly pursued by Lieutenant Guilfoyle, but
have managed to commit several more
murders. In their manner of carrying
out their fiendish plans they show'that
the mantle of Victorio has fallen on no
unworthy shoulders. On August 1st a
number ot them Icit their main camp
in the San Mateo range on amurdcring
and robbing expedition.
. They first sighted a miner alone at his
work, and murdered him before he was
aware of their presence. Their object
being, no doubt, to secure his grub
stake. Two herders soon shareuthis
unfortunate man's fate, and their bod
ies were robbed and left unburied on
the plains. As soon as this news reached
San Marcial, which is only about thirty
live miles distant from the scene of the
killing a large party consisting of twenty-six
Americans and ten Mexicans
started in pursuit. The Indians got
wind of their approach, and knowing
that tliey would iiave to pass through
Red Canyon, waited in that desolate
spot for their appearance.
The citizens stopped in the canyon
for a lunch and while, eating were set
upon by the hostiles, and being taken
by surprise, they lied. The Indians
killed one of the party and seven horses,
then descended from the side of the
canyon and captured all their remain
ing horses and were oft' before the party
could recover and make head against
them. This fight occurred on the sec
ond inst. and since then nothing has
been heard of the Indians. Lieutenant
(iuilfoyle arrived at Fort Craig on the
1st after pursuing the reds for fifteen
days. lie came in to outfit again and
by this time is no doubt again in the
field.
Kicking: About Hail ling.
Toronto, Canada, Aug., 4. The gov
ernment papers say regarding the story
that Canada was using U. S. mail bags
that is equally true that the United
States are using Canadian pouches,
though the balance of trade is probably
against the United States the matter
is somewhat trivial for international ex
citement, and will speedily be adjusted.
The papers intimate that the United
States postal authorities are venal in
the matter.
Washington, Aug., 4. Col. Thomp
son, Superintendent of the Railway
Mail Service says positively that the
Postmaster at Montreal, made mistakes
in saying that the United States use Ca
nadian mail bags. Col. Thompson
says the Government does not use any
Canadian mail bags in transporting
domestic mails. He has telegraphed
to the Postmasters at Detroit and New
York asking them if they ever use Ca
nadian mail bags in sending U S.
mails, and is confident they will reply
they do not. Thompson says Canada
uses our man bags but we uo not use
theirs.
Marvin Meannetts.
New York, Aug., 4. Tribune, Lake
Wood, N. Y., special: Thomas Mar
vin who married and deserted a young
lady oi Kicumond, Virginia, last month
is identified as Albert L. Marvin who
on July lflth married a young widow of
Lakcwood and shortly after abandoned
her. On Tuesday a telegram was re
ceived from Richmond to the chief-of-police
accurately describing the Lake
wood man, and saying that if he ap
peared, his arrest was desired. The
telegram removes all doubts as to the
identity of Thomas Marvin and Albert
L. Marvin, consequently he is now
wanted at Richmond for forgery and in
New Jersey for bigamy.

Executive Mansion, 12:30 p. m. Doc
tor Bliss affirms the statement that the
President is having an excellent day.
The 12:30 examination has just been
made with a result of pulse 90, temper
ature and respiration normal. The pa
tient continues taking increased' quan
tities of nourishment and is daily gain
ing in strength. All reports of unfa
vorable changes should be discredited
unless they have official authentication
of the President's condition. At this
hour he is better than at any time since
his injury.
Executive Mansion, 1 p. m. As the
morning bulletin indicated would prob
ably be the case the President has
passed another good day without ,a
drawback or unpleasant symptom of
any kind. He has taken his nourish
ment well. The wound is doing well in
appearance and in the character and
amount of discharge. At 12:30 p. m.
his pulse "was 90, temperature 98.4 res
piration 18. The rise of temperature
came on late and was moderate. At 7
p. m. his pulse was 102, temperature
100, respiration 19.

New York, Aug. 4. A Washington
special says: Dr. Hamilton in reply to
a direct question this morning said:
Quote me as saying that the President
will certainly recover. Consider him
out of danger.
In response to interrogatories relative
to moving the patient from the Execu
tive Mansion the Doctor says: Nothing
couio. be determined on as rue t resi
dent was in no condition to move. He
thought, however, that when the prop
er time came a trip down the Potomac
would be beneticial and hasten his re
covery.

BRADLAltíH NOTES.
London, Aug. 4. The Morning Post
charges Bradlaugh with having ap
pealed to a street rabble from the de
cision of the Commons and recom
mends that Gladstone put his foot down
on such insolence and vulgarity.

topic declares the Commons has chosen
a ialse position and it is the duty oí the
Government members to plainly or

IN THE COMMONS.
London, August 4. In the House of
Commons Gladstone gave confirmation
of the news of the signing of the Trans
vaal convention. Replying to a ques
tion by Cowan, Radical, as to whether
the Irish subjects would be released or
granted trial, Gladstone said the Gov
ernment was bound from time to time
to consider the circumstances on which
they had obtained exceptional power,
but his answer, he said, must not be
considei'ed as foreshadowing any decis
ion. Trevelain, Secretary of the Admiralty
gave confirmation of the report that two
torpedo boats had been built in the
United States for the British Govern
ment. The Under Foreign Secretary, re
specting the opium trade with Japan
and other matters affecting foreign res
idents said the Government had agreed
to negotiate relative to a revision with
Japan, and was now in communication
witn other treaty powers on the subject.
IIICKEY CONVICTED.

ing to kill the secretary ior Ireland,

oners and resigned his office. The ver
dict was accompanied with a recom
mendation to mercy. The Counsel for
the Crown said Forster desired the
lightest sentence consistent with justice
to be passed upon the prisoner. The
sentence was postponed,
. The Mint Mix.
San Francisco, August 4. At the
mint investigation to-day James W.
Crawford, Superintendent of the Car
son mint testi lied that he had received
Northern Belle bullion and with one
exception all deposits were below 900
fine. That tho company was notified
that if the bullion was not up to stand
ard, refining charges would be impos
ed after a certain time, when they ceas
ed sending their bullion to the Carson
mint.
The prosecution introduced a num
ber of letters from F. Lowe, manager
of the Anglo-Californian Bank, which
institution controlled the Northern
Belle mine, to Mr. Crawford regarding
the action of Crawford in imposing re
fining charges. This was done with a
view of showing that the bank must
have had some advantage in sending
the bullion to the San Francisco mint,
one hundred and fifty miles further
from the mine than the Carson mint.
The letters were principally to the
question put by Lowe whether parting
and refining charges would be imposed
on Northern Belle bullion, having cop
per bse and requesting the Superin
tendent of the Carson mint to give that
bullion as fair a trial as it had received
at the San Francisco mint and that if
he did it would be more advantageous
to have the bullion go to Carson than
come to San Francisco, but that if
charges were imposed and they had to
pay expressage on the silver dollars
the instructions from the clerks of the
Sub-Treasury in San Francisco was not
to permit the payment of silver dollars
at the Sub-Treasury as it would be
cheaper to bring the bullion for melt
ing and refining to San Francisco.
Counsel for prosecution stated he
would show that the Anglo-Californian
bank had for the last three and a half
years been purchasing Northern Bell
bullion at a large discount on the un
derstanding that the bullion was sub
jected to parting and refining charges,
when in reality no such charges were
being imposed by Superintendent
Dodge. One of the commission said,
while he admitted such fact being es
tablished it would show sharp practice
on the part of the bank, and it would
not reflect upon Dodge or the manage
ment of the mint, whereupon counsel
said he would show that Dodge was a
party to the arrangement, but he failed
to do this, and after efforts to bring in
the testimony the commissioner de
clared irrelevant, he announced the bul
lion part of the investigation was
through with. The political phase of
the inquiry was then taken up, but no
testimony was introduced, and the com
mission adjourned till Monday night.

Ticw Boato to the Pacific.
There seems to be some body to the
report, circulated freely during the last
few days, that a combination has been
formed which will give the Union
Pacific, the Texas Pacific and Atlantic
& Pacific a joint line to San I rancisco.
It seems that the Texas Pacific will be
extended from El Paso northwest
through Silver City and Prescott to a
connection with the Atlantic & Pacific.
The Atlantic & Pacific is controlled by
the Nickerson interest in the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe road. From the
junction of the Texas Pacific and At
lantic & Pacific a joint road will be built
northwest to the r aranahajjat valley,
where a junction will be made with the
Utah Southern, a branch of the Union
Pacific. From this point a joint road
will be built to San Francisco. The
route will begin simultaneously, build
ing from San Francisco east, from the
end of the Utah Southern west, and
from the Texas Pacific, Atlantic & Pa
cific northwest. It is proposed to tun
nel the Sierra Nevadas and drain the
pick of the mining regions. Subscrip
tions have been secured for $25,000,000
of bonds for the line, and the route is
being surveyed. This is a stupendous
prospectus. Whether it is only intend
ed for Wall street or not, remains to be
developed . Chicago Tima.

Conquest of Mexico.
A gentleman who passed through the
city yesterday, and who is just up from
El Paso, having traveled across Texas
on a business trip, states that there is
an organization in that State that in
tends to send out a filibustering expedi
tion into Mexico. He was very positive
in his assertion, but the truth of the re
port was lardly credited, till the re
ceipt of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
of Tuesday, that contained the follow
ing special despatch from San Antonio,
Texas:
"A quiet rumor reached here to-day
that the Grand Army of Occupation
that is to capture Mexico is still living
and systematically organized, but we
are unable to trace it to a reliable source.
If the army is organizing the movement
is kept very close, but as there are any
number of military men in this section
of the Slate more than willing to make
a move to conquer Mexico, there may
be some foundation for the reports."
Dr. C. C. Gordon arrived in this city
yesterday to make his home with us in
the future. He enjoys an excellent rep
utation throughout Southern Colorado
and leaves behind him a host of friends.
In noticing his intended departure thv
Trinidad News of yesterday morning
said:
"Dr. Gordon, having determined to
give Las Vegas a trial, his friends got
together yesterday afternoon and in a
few minutes arranged for the purchase
of-n elegant gold watch and chain to
be presented the doctor as a token of
esteem. Frank Myers managed the
details, and so well that the doctor was
completely taken by surprise. Frank
told him tli at a man was at the drug
store who desired to consult him pro
fessionally, and taking him in there he
found a room full of friends, headed by
J. P. Flynn, who, in a neat speech
made the presentation. The doctor ex
pressed his appreciation of the present
in a few words, and it is safe to say he
will live a long time before he will for
get the real friends he has made in this
city."
