It was General Miles who cleaned
up the Sioux after Crook, Cu.-ter and
Terry had all had a hand at them,
and it is greatly to be hoped that his
old-time successful experience will
serve him wll in this country. The
change cannot but be beneficial. Al
most any private in the army could
have done better than Crook, wlu at
last acknowledges that his Indian
policy was a failure and that his con
fidence in the Apaches as scouts was
misplaced. Poor ild imbecile. He
leaves without the regrets of a tingle
officer of the army, and- with the
fervent curses o"f many citizens who
charge him with the responsibility of
the outbreak, and a criminal policy of
employing scouts, which lias cost the
lives of so many citizens. The change
is welcomed and a prayer will be

is a poor man, was required to pay
the boy's railroad fare, and Linilancr,

little fellow in and dressed him up in
a- handsome new suit of -lotbes, at
which he was much pleased. He was
overjoyed to see hid father, whom he
recognized upon sight, and to whom
he related the rough experiences of
the past seven months. On the arrival
.1 me train in tins cny, and the news
of the coming of the boy being cir
culated, a largo crowd of curious peo
pie gathered to see the little fellow,
who was the lion of the hour. His
face was very much sun-burnt, and
the maiks of exposure were plainly
visible on him. He readily answered
every question put to him in Spanish,

GERONIMO, THE APACHE CHIEF
He appeared to solicit being ques
tioned by his father, and unhesitat
ingly answered every question asked
by him. He said that Geronimo killed
his brother Martin and took his coat
and pants off, and that upon hearing
the shot which killed his brother he
liid hi the brush, but was found by
the Indian.! and put uion a horse and
taken along. He states that the In
dians sometimes travelled two daya
and nights without sleep or rest, and
lh.it they lived mostly on horse flesh,
occasional' killing a cow. While a
band of Indians were endeavoring to
lound-up some cattle the boy says
that an Indian named Chinco was
killed by a party of cowmen, and that
he was the only Indian that he knew
to have been killed while lie was with
the . When asked by his father how
he liked horse flesh, he said: "It is
good when hungry." lie vividly de

but cannot say in what part of the

bacon and other articles were obtained
from the house before it was fired. A
large supply of candies and olomestics
was secured et another place, which is
supposed to have been from Sau

On Saturday evening last the Anti
Chinese League of this city met at
Schieffelin Hall, and notwithstanding
the fact that the organ of the Chinese
for a week past had stated repeatedly
in its columns that everyone who at
tended the meetings -vould be spotted,
about four hundred members of the
League were present.
J. M. Nash, Chairman of the Execu
tive Committee, called the meeting to
order, owing to the resignation of the
former President, Mr. A. T. Jones,
who had resigned since the last
meeting.
The resignations of Mr. Jones and
Mr. Bradshaw wuro then read, as was
also the report of the Treasurer, Jlr.
Bradshaw.
The resignation of Mr. Jones was
then on motion accepted by th
League. The Chairman pro tern
then announced that nominations for
permanent President were in order.
Mt. Wicks nominated Mayor C. N.
Thonvis. The announcement of Mr.
Thomas' nam"! was received with tre
mendous applause, and was seconded
by at least one hundred members
Mr. S. G, Bagg, who was the first sec
ond to the. rumination, got up and
addressed the multitude as follow:
Mr.' President and Gentlemen of
the Tombstone Anti-Chinese League :
-Gentlemen, in arising to second the
nomination of Charles N. Th-imas as
your President, 1 do so with feelings
of pleasurs, a3 during ihe past week
the Epitaph the organ of the Chi
nese has placed itself in opposition
to white LAiion, has tried to intimi
date any person whom this League
would nominate, and 1 know from the
flattering vote that Mr. Thomas re
ceived for Mayor of this city that he
is popular beyond expression, and I
hope that the gentlemau will accept
the office of President of this League,
and that he will be elected without a
dissenting voice.
The question was then put and
carried, and Mr. Thomas declared
duly elected the Piesident of the
Tombstono Anti-Cli'nese League.
Mr. Thomas, who was in the back
part of the hall, then f-tepped forward
to the platform amid deafening ap
plause. The band being present, upon Mr.
Thomas ascending the platform,
played "Yankee Doodle," -'s emblem
atic of the time' wheu tea under Eng
lish rule was boycotted.
After-the band had' ceased to play,
Mayor Thomas- stepped forward on
the platform and thanked the League
for the honor that they had bestowed
upon him. He stated that he was
proud of -the honor beatowad upon
him and thanked the League for pre
senting his name and accepted the
office. He felt sorry that the Presi
dent and Treasurer had resigned at
the time thy were most needed to
carry tin the good woik. He assured
the League that ho was in favor of
the boycott, and that his was the last
name that would come off the roll of
the Anti-Chinese League. This ad
dress was received with great ap
pla use.
The President then announced that
the Treasurer's resignation was upon
the table, and asked what was the
pleasure of the Leasjue,
On motion, tne resignation of Mr.
Bradshaw was accepted.
On motion, seconded by Col.
Dean, W. D. Coleman, proprietor of
the Pacific Chop House, was elected
Treasueer of the League.
Mr. Coleman then stepped upon
the platform "and the band . played
"Hail to the Chief!" This tunc was
played In recognition of the fact that
Mr. Coleman was one of the first gen
tlemen in this city to sign the roll of
the League and among the fih-t to
discharge his Chinese help and put
while men in the-r stead. After the
band had finished their tune 'Mr.
Coleman stepped forward and asoured
the League that he was with them
heart and soul and would stay with
them to the end.
The Secretary then called upon
Judge Robinson, Judge Eeilly and J.
M. Nash to state what occurred at the
meeting at Willcox.
Jiu'ger Robinson then "stated that
the meeting at Willcox was a grand
success, and that 182 names were up
on the roll, and that only six residents
of Willcox had refused to sign the
same. He then stated that the Epi
taph had been making war upon him
or over a week, and that all efforts
of compromise had now passed, and
that the tocsin had sounded and that
st was war to the knife from now on.
He said he would not leply through
the newspapers, but would ring it in
the ears of every person in this
county from the stump, and that in
every instance he would give them
the lash until they squirmed beneath
his feel.
The report of the executive com
mittee was then read, in which they
stated tbat they had published the
names of those to be boycotted as per
order, and had also established a
reading room for the benefit of every
body, and that all the territorial
papers and Eastern periodicals would
be kept constantly on hand.
Several members here came up and
paid their dues, and several new mem
bers signed their names to the roll.
On motion, a committee of five
was appointed to report from day to
day the names of every person in this
city who employed or patronized Chi
men to the executive committee, and
that they all be placed upon the boy
cotted lit. Carried.
The following committee were then

Wicks and Col. Dean.
On motion', the League then ad
journed until next Saturday evening
at 7 :30 o'clock.
A St. Louis dispatch says: Frank
McKeighan, a telegraph operator,
was arrested yesterday and has. made
a confession which will create a sen-.
sation. He says that he recently en
tered into an arrangement with Thos.
Furlong, Chief of the Gould System
Secret Service, whereby Martin Irons,
A. C. Coughian and other prominent
leaders of the Knights of Labor were
to be arrested. A room was engaged
in the thiid-story of the building at
No. 23 Market treot, into the pest
window of which ran a pn'va,te tele
graph wire on which H.-M. Hoxie,
Vice-President of the Missouri Pacific
Railway wus in aln.osc constant com
munication with Gould Mclveighan
engaged another operator named
Nicholas to assist lnm, and the two
men soon tapped, the wire and had an
instrument at work. the arrange
ment was to have Irons, Coughian
and another in the room intercepting
messages between Hoxie and Gould,
when tho police would make a de
scent on the place and capture the
whole outfit.
The plan was neatly layed out, but
failed for the simple reason that
Irotis and his men did nol propose to
gain their information of the inten
tions of their -enemies in any such
manner, and have furnished another
proof that. honesty and integrity is
always more than 'a ma-Ceh for cuu
ning and treachery.

CliarsrcK ARaia.t Gtv. Zuliclr.
Ever since President Cleveland ap-
pointed Colonel C. Meyer Zulics., of
NeWtirk, Governor of Arizona Terri.
tory, his political enemies in the
Democratic party have made deter:
mined efforts to defeat his confirma
lion by the United' Suites Senate.
As was recently stated in the-Her-
aid a suit wa brohght against him as .
the President of 1 lie New Jeisey and
Sonora Reduction Company, by somo
of the stickhphl- rs' nf the crn -crn.
In the bill of complaint filed in the
New Jersey Court of Cnancery it is
alleged that he willfully misrepre
sented the affairs of th company and
induced people, many of whom were
his intimate friends, to invest money
in the company, and subsequently
the funds were nsed for the develop
mont of k silver mine in Sonora,
Mexico., A -full- history of the case
was forwarded to Washington.
During tho last few drys another
scandal was created by the produc-
I tion of an affidavit made by Alder
man George S. Smith, of Newark, in
which he makes very serious charges
against Colonel Zulick in connection
with his nomination for Surrogate of
Essex county, and the election which
followed. An account of Alderman
Smith's terrible death from charbon
malique. was published in the Herald
two months ago. Ho had been a
close personal friend of Col. Zulick
for many years, and just prior to Lis
death a coolness was noticed between,
them. The affidavit was made several
months betore his death and prob -lily
would remain the exclusive prop
eity of the Seuutc if he were alive to
day. The affi l.ivit is now in the posses- .
sion of Senator Harrison, cf Indiana,
chairman of the committee on terri- -torits,
but a copy nf it is preserved in
Newaik. It details various practices,
wl.ih, it alleges.-Governor Zulick in
d dged iu during Andrew Johnson's
a 'ministration, when Governor Zulick
held for a brief period the position of
United States Assessor for the Newark
District, and refers to the manner in
which the offices at his disposal were
d sposed of. The affidavit furtfU'
gtates-that-at-bo--lasc "general elecr
tion (1SS4), when Zulick was a candi
date for Surrogate and was defeated,
he approached Alderman Smith, then
chairman of the .puWio buildings
committee, and proposed a plan by
which, when' a recount of the ballot-
boxes were called for, it would 'show
that Zulick was elected and not de
feated," as was previously announced.
In tho affidavit Alderman Smith,
stated that he was actuated in mak
ing it Eolely by a desire to thow that
Zulick was not a proper person to
hold the office of Governor of Ari
zona or any position under the Demo
cratic administration.
In speaking of the affidavit a well
known New Jersey politician said to a
Herald reporter yesterday: "Presi
dent Cleveland was very angry when
ho heard of the affidavit, and imme
diately sent for Senator McPheison,
who. recommended Zulick's appoint
ment. The latter sent for several
Newark Democrats and asked to have
the matter thoroughly investigated.
Alderman Smith was seen a week bc
fore his death. He reaffirmed hia
charges and promised to give them ia
detail. I believe that he was working
upon a full statement when he died;
The wholo matter has been- referred
to a tub-committee consisting ..of
Senators George, of Mississippi, and
Cullom, of Illinois, who aro.investjr
gating it, together with tie --Sonora.
mine matter."
It ir understood thftt there are
other charges against Gov. Zulick in
the possession of the Senate commit
tee, and most of the evidence is be
ing furnished by a prominent Pejivpj
crat. New York Herald, March 30th,
