sented itself. AU tbo baiUics except one
were Imrned to the ground, and not a living

Indians bad turn evrrrtting except the

dren vera missing sad nothing whatever
could be found to indicate what bad become
ol them. Thej have either been murdered
and buried or else taken away as hostages.
Their dreadful and unmentionable fate calls
forth the most profound sympathy. The
dead body of Father Meeker was found
about one hundred jards Iron Lis bouse. It-
in on his back, Vot through the head, the
lett side of bis bead mashed in with some
blunt instrument, a piece of a barrel stave
driven into his mouth, and one ot his hands
and anas badly burned. The dead body of
W. H. Tost. Father Meeker's assistant, was
found between the building and the river,
with a bullet hole through the left ear and
ene cader the ear. lie and Fathtr Meeker
were stripped entirely naked. Another em-
pleye named Eaton was found dead. lie
was stripped naked and had a buxdle ol pa
per bags on his arms, and his face was badly
eaten by wolves and a bullet hole in bis left
breast. Frank Dresser, a brother of tht one
found in the coal mine, was fouad badly
burned. He had without doubt been killed
instantly, as a bullet bad passed through his
heart. The bodies of Laton. Thompson,
Price. Eakridce and all other employes not

found two miles this side of the agency,
naked, and a bullet hole through his head.

Democratic Committee room there is little
figuring beisg done. The committee say
that they have no news. They concede the
election of the Slate ticket to the Ilepublic-
ans by a handsome majority and allow a
werking majority in the Houm of Represen
tatives; but still claim to have one or two
majority in the Senate. The eosutitte es
timate Foster's majority at Od.OOO, with
chances that full returns will rather increase
than diminish these figures. They claim 70
out ef lit members of the IIoum of Ilepre-
scntaUTts, which Is 13 more than is neces
sary to pass a bill. The committee claim 19
Senators sure, which is a majority of one.

To the Commissionar.of Indian Affairs,

of trouble from tho Indians, either near or

and conduct of the whites, who seem deter
mined to make trouble. Tho newspapers
and tho atmosphere of Colorado are full of
lying rumors. The secret ot all this outcry
and these false rumors can bo found in the

MaTSTiLXJC, N. Y., Oct. 16. The boat race
has come to a moat inglorious rod. Late
this morning the air vu filled with rumors
that Courtney's boaU were ibitc; another
that they had been cut Iit night. A visit to
Courtney's quarters disclosed the facts as re
ported oy Courtney's nepbsw and Uurt
Brown, who bad been with him as attend
ants and engaged in taking care of the boats
that but evening about six they left the
boathouse. locking it on the shore side lith
a padlock and on the riverside simply book-
lug it and driving a nail over the hook. On
returning about eight from the village they
found that the river door bad been forced,
the nail broken and the boats both cut with a
saw. The one cade for the race was cat
two-thirds through. 12 feet 10 inches from the
bow; the working boat was cut entirely
through 6 feet 4 inches from the stern. The
two men kept the matter a secret from Court
ney until this morning. What will be dene
as to postponing the race or disposing of the
prixe la unknown a yet- The referee, c5
cers and bankers of the two men are now in
consultation.
Courtney's backers boldly declare that he
himself caused the boat to be cut. Courtney
it is understood asks for ten or twelve days
postponemeat. Every train brings large tc
ccsuions to the already Urge throng.
The re!err wilt call the boats at the ap
pointed hour. liinlsn will row over the
course and sttempt to make the best five
mile time on record. The question ef the
right to claim the money is iu disnute.
Sule contests its payment to Ilanlan. unless
the race be rowed with Courtney as stated in
original articles of agrecaet.

Haclltb Crops susd HarXirta.
Lovnox. Oct. It. The Mark Lane Ex
press says agricultural advices are still aet
disoouragiag. The quantities ot wheat and
berley stiO afield, are deteriorating froa
spreading damp and discoloration. Turnips
and potatoes are badly diseased. Hop are
a total failure in many ot the best districts
in Kent. Preparations for Autumn sowing
are retarded by a diversion o: labor in con
sequence of the anxiety of farmers to get
seme of the present harvest to market while
high prices are current. The supplies tsar-
r ted show an increase, but are mostly unat
for milling. Such as are in good condition
readily brought 2 shiBings advance. The
best loU ct malting barley realized 12 to 50
shilling. Most ot the new crop is badly
discolored. Arrivals in London of all arti
cles except oats have been moderate. Last
Monday's list showed only about 25,000
quarters foreign wheat, chtefiy American,
and subsequent import up to t ntiay amount
to CI, 120 quarters. Prices again favored
sellers to the extent ot fully two shillings at
the beginning ot the week, but with only a
retail demand at the advance, as large mill
ers and sailers hesitated t follow the rise,
which during the past few days has been
maintained with difficulty. Fine American
reds and such varieties ot white wheat as
could be used in place ot KngHih wheat,
hare been in fair request, but it is probable
lutssiaa desenpuoas will shortly come In
favor when asjrplie of home grown increase.
as the eoMiuoa of the new cron is sure to
necessitate a large admixture of hard foreign
wheat to render it suitable tor milling.
There has been no excitement in the trade.
neither have the week s sales been large, but
steadineM prevailed, as sellers were by no
means Impatient U realize. The recent
saarket rise in the price ot wheat has not
served to unsettle the opinion ot holders.
as it is due to most perfectly legitimate in
fluence that again aaect values, namely
supply and demand. As far as can be seen
at present there appears no valid reason why
wheat should not advance another five shil
lings. Easiness still rests on a firm basis.
although it must be admitted that increased
supplies ef home grown wheat will probably
check the advance temporarily. Maize at
tracted a good deal ot attention, and owing
to the scarcity spot sailers have been en
abled to establish an advance ot one shilling
on the week. Grinding barley, beans and
peas moved quietly at former rates. Con
tinued heavy receipts ot oats again reduced
prices threepence and sixpence. Wheat
for shipment has been in largo re
quest, and an extensive business was
done, principally in California and
red Winter American at a shilling advance.
Calcutta descriptions also participated in the
advance. Arrivals of grain laden vessels off
coast have been small, and haro been in
good request, and advanced a shilling to
eighteen pence, but tho limited choice re
stricted business. Maize ruled firm at six
pence advance, and has been very large,
though somewhat irregular. Basin eon trans
acted in forward wheat, especially red Win
ter American, for which quotations iudicato
an advance of fully a shilling. Maize met
with fair inquiry at prices for cargoes on
passage and for prompt shipment, but for
Kovesaber and December an advance ot six
pence was paid. Sales ot English wheat

Haaala'a A lan Expedition.
Loxnox, Oct. 15. The Rnaaiau press Is
very impatient about the dearth of news
frura the Central Asian expedition, especially
as no effort has yet been made to reconcile
apparent contradictions in two efikial re
ports of the action at Geoktepo. Meanwhile
a letter from Ttffls published in the Golos
says that grave apprehensions are felt there
for the safety ot the expedition. The letter
describes invalid men arriving at Baker as
being in alterable plight, and says that
great numbers have died of diphtheria and
a scorbutic disease, and that medical ar
rangements are deficient. The truth about
the Geoktepe affair is gradually leaking out.
The assault on the Deugiuepe earthworks
was aade on the Plevna pattern aiter an in
effectual cannon td. The Russians aade a
rush with fixed bayonets; but wer repulsed
and treated in disorder. The Tcrkoraas
cavalry in attacking the "-i flV and
rear, created such confusion that when the
vanguard reached the main force in the re-
sctts the latter was unable to -' the tide
, of retreat and was itself compelled to rears

A Spoony ixrver.
The youthful Kin; of Spain vu so
delighted, we are told, at the success of
his wooing that he committed several
breaches of Rigid Spanish etiquette
such ax calling at times when he was
least expected by his fctcre bride, and
kissing his hand to the ralconiei of the
Villa Eellegarde!. All who have been
lovers will readily excuse the happy
monarch for these small o Senses, and
will picture to themselves the young
King in the act of nnconsdoaaly com
mitting them. A comparison of the
pictures thru made woold be Interest
ing. A young man idaridirtg in the
hall, with his hat in his hand, and a
yoeng woman in a red wrapper worked
with white thread, and with her hair
done np in papery just taking herself
out of sight through the dinisg-rooa
door. A voting fellow disappearing on
the sidewalk, his face tamed back: and
np, pedestrians trying to avoid the per
ils of meeting a man who walks in one
dircctioa and looks in another, and the
lover throwing kisses to a chambermaid
with a dost doth in her hand, whom in
the ardor, of his passion he has Tnittskim
for her whose usage is in his mind.

The Toothpick Market Excited.
The toothpick market is agitated.
Those chiefly in use are white wood and
pointed at both ends. A patent for 14
years was obtained for them in lSbb,
and the factory of the Boston owners at
Bucksfield, 31c, used from three to five
thousand cords of wood yearly and
turned out incalculable quantities. A
box of 2,500 sold for twenty-Eve cents,
and the profit was large. A log six
feet long and about 13 inches in diam
eter was placed in a raachine, where
bevil knives cut it in each direction aad
turned out the toothpicks rexdy for
market. About eighteen months ago
another Boston firm started a factory in
the woods of Ohio and used similar ma-
chinerv. The price then began tambling
( and fell to twenty cents at retail, thea
I to eighteen, fourteen and twelve. Ut
late the original manufacturers have re
duced the ngcre to ten cents or eight
cents at wholesale, and report their an
tagonists on the verge of stoppage.
