Where their bullets are aimed is another thing. An idea is prevalent in the East that these renegades travel with the tpeed of the wind, and as far ss seventy-five to one hundred miles at a spurt.

It started with rare Dromptnesa, and moved wiiimnt hi-, it drawback being that at its close some lired component parts broke nunn in uiue confusion. Its successful management was highly creditable to Grand Marshal Horace Bell and his aias.

Jordan and Private A. D. Dan-ley. Later in the day the force was augmented by J. C.

Pridham and C. E. North, who rendered efficient service in woramg tne gun. At sunrise a salute of thirteen guns was fired, and, follow? ing tnis, a KOn every half hour. At sunset (beginning at six o'clock) a vol- jv oi Miirty-eight guns was fired Visitors to the city state that the cannonade was distinctly heard at the nintttuue oi seventeen miles.

So great was the concussion in the immediate vicinity of the gnn that many of the wiuuuws oi tne ntgn school building Were Shattered. A tniranrv innrMntinn late in the afternoon showed that not ess than twenty -three large panes had gone to amaah. Had thn nrnntinn been taken to raise tbe windows, this utuiage mignt bive been avoided. The artillery squad could not do this, as tbe building waa locked. From the whole day's firing there was no casualty, und upon this fortunate outcome the men in cnarge are to be congratulated.

Tilt: 1.ITEKAKY KXESCISES. Pravramm a the Hraad I After tbe Prorraaloo. At 4:50 the procession had completed its long march, and was disbanding at the grand-bUnd, corner of Spring and Second streets. Tbe spot had admirably fitted for the sad occasion. Along the whole east side of the large City Hall lot, running out beyond tbe middle of Second street, and along that Btreet up to a point opposite the east corner of the city building, had been erected a substantia! seating structure; and arouud tbe eat and south walls of the old school building was the grand stand, with a seating capacity of 400 people.

Tbe space directly about the stand was covered by ground seats, and further back rose tbe inclined seats, tbe last ten feet above the ground. They were very strongly built; and tbe honesty of their woikmanship is proved by the success with which they stood the tremendous test to which thev were sutj'-cu yesterday afternoon. Tbe grand stand was tbe largest and most tasteful in decoration ever'erected in Los Angeles. Tbe top was covered with canvas sod blaek cambric. Tbe posts were swathed in black and tbe fronts ef the stand were massively draped in the same.

With admirable taste, the only white in the decorations was that of tbe flowers with which the festoons along the balcony were cangnt up at frt quent intervals, and of oiLei flowers displayed slsewnere. The rostrum occupied a projection at the corner. Over its front' were parted two large flags, tbeir ends gathered to the draped posts. The sides were bung each with a single flag, drawn to the aide. In the center was the speaker's desk, iu black and behind it a large and excellent likeness of Grant a re lolly draped easel.

The railing of tbe stand was tinea witn red geraniums, laid aloug the edge and facing out; tne trout oi tne rostrum was similarly relieved, but with white blossoms. 1 be unsightly walls of tbe old school house were robbed of tbeir ugliness by broad bands oi simple black. Tne arrangement of tbe entire ground was admirable in convenience and adequacy; while the artistic eflect of the decorations waa a perpetual de- ngnt to tne eye. Long before the procession had ended, the Meats which were sufficient to accommodate 500 persons began to mi. At a clock, wbtn tbe Eagie Corps Baad, at tbe north end ot ihe grand-stand, began its overture, every seat was fitted; aud at least 1200 people were gatnered in otner positions whence they could command the scene.

Major GeOi -E. Gnrd, Chairman of the Joint Committee, next called the vast assemblage to order, saying: Ladu1 and tjettfteinm: Before intro ducing the President of the Day, allow me to congratulate you upon the fact that you have tuis day participated in the tcreateet demonstration ol any nature ever witnessed in Southern California, a great assembling of a grief-stricken people, irrespective of nativity, of nationality, of creed, of differeuces, all prompted by one common impulse a desire to honor oar deserving dead, a magnificent tribute to the memory of a great and good man, a univemal expression of love aud admiration for the mot unas- sumiug hero, tbe truest brave, the greatest military chieftain known to tbe world. At last Ulysses o. Urant reaps his reward; he rests; a nation mourns. He then introduced the President of the Day, Mayor F.

pence, who read as follows: Fetlow CitUenM; Though the skies may be clear all over our land, yet a dark cloud of sorrow rests upon all hearts. Wbat means this vast concourse of stalwart men? Why tnis assemblage of motn era, wives and daughters? What news have been flanhtd around the world 't We have reached this spot, marching to the beat of the mumed drnm, with bowed heads, with bated breath, with hearts made pad, because one of our American fellow-citizens is now being consigned to the Alien tomb. Why, why is this? A great man is fallen. A soldier who never surrendered or bowed the knee to mortal man has laid tbe armor down at the feet of the grim J-cutioel, Iesth. A statesman with an eye single to the advancement, tbe unity, the integrity, tbe honor and freedom of his native laud, hum naed away to another country where God alone reigns.

A sou has returned to his Father's house, where there are many mannioo. A husband and father inidi to have teen eaught up from the mountain into heaven as if by a chariot of fire. Though his body may crumble into dust on the banks of the fair Hudson, where the tides of tite Atlantic ever ebb aud flow, still we of tbeertreme West shall ever claim him as an old friend aud fellow-citizen, and in fancy we shall hear the waves of our own Pacific chanting hia eternal requiem. We said that to-day there is a cloud of darkness and sorrow renting upon tbe hearts of the people: yet, most clearly do we discern the silver and the golden lining of the cloud; we well understand the Nation's aasimilaiion that binds all parts more closely than ever together. Were the Confederate Uenerals Lee, or tone wail SackMn, or Sydney Johnston, or tttusrt, alive to-day, they would shed tears of manly sorrow at the grave of Oeneral Orant.

To-day the brave and dit'Oguihd men of tbe North oommingle with the brave and diottn-KUicbed men of the South, and together they bear his body to tbe tomb, with sorrow and regret. U. B. Grant, gallant leader, typical American, magnanimous victor, friend of tbe downtrodden aud oppressed, wbat language can do thy memory justice? And. as the coffin lid this day shuts out from the gaze of men forever that familiar face, we bow to the behests of ti Karen and say, Good Man, farewell! Rev.

The ships of our commerce and navy ruie at ancuor wearing the nag or our nation at half mast.

Tbe sound of labor in the workshoo and factory is bushed; aud the emblems of mourning are seen draped above tbeir portals. Uur banks and mercantile bouses are hung in the habiliments of woe; and business is halted at tbeir threshold. For tbe third time in our history, during tbe last quarter of a century, the people of this Republic, as a nation, have been summoned from their usual avocations of life, to stand bowed in sorrow and mourning beside the open grave, and behold the work which the tyrant Death has wrought. Aye, the Republic shrouded in mourning; and its mighty heart ceases for a moment its pulsation, while humanity nlaoes tbe cbaplet upon tbe tomb of tbe renowned soldier, the patriotiestatesraan.the Chris tian citizen and the greatest oeneral of the world. The oration consumed an hour an ten minutes in delivery, and treated largely of the well-known biography of General Grant, clotana with then words: As we stand around his open crave, he wno harbored no malice, but whose love of country, and pure and lofty patriotism.

anew no norm, no outn, no tut, no West, let us pledge ourselves anew to our country and receive a new baptism into ber service. Let us ail rally arouud the old nag with all its precious, glorions histories and recollections, drawing our inspiration from one living fountain, and with one heart, one purpose, and with one impulse, press on together to a common aud glorious destiny.

There is a general complaint that nnbitched teams are too common about town, and it is to be hoped that the police authorities will interest them selves in the matter and see that the law is enforced.

Secretary Whit ney yesterday seat the following letter to Mr.

Bosch and his assignees ana sureties. on the contract for the Chicago: By the seventh clause of your contract with tbe united niatee, oatvu -j IKH3 for the construction of one steel cruiser of about 4500 tons displacement, it was agreed that tne bull, macmnery ana fittings of such vessel should be completed and ready for inspection for the purpose of delivery on or before tbe expiration of eighteen month from date of contract. It was further provided in the eleventh clause that in ease of failure or omission in tbe contract, or at any cum nnnr to the final completion from any cause (other than orders of the Secretary of the Navy) to go forward with the work and make satisfactory progress toward completion, it shouia ne optional with tbe Secretary to declare tbe contract forfeited. More than six months bave now elapsed since tbe expiration of the limit thus fixed, and work npon tbe vessel has been stopped, while much remains to be done before she can be finally completed. At tbe same time evident public interest requires that the veasel in question, the "Chicago," be completed with all possible speed, and it ha therefore become necessary for the Department to take immediate action looking to that end.

Under theae circumstances tbe failure of the contractors to proceed with tbe work I have to inform you that the contract above referred to is hereby declared to be forfeited on the part of tbe contractor, and that the rights of the United States under the con tract, and especially unuer me wotwjwi, twelfth and thirteenth clauses thereof, are now onerative. You are further in formed that it is the intention of the Department, after an inventory and appraisement shall have been had, to take steps lor ne (iruwrvuimm ui wW, the com Die tion of said vessel in accord ance with the conditions expressed in the contract, and that, in the meantime, the chiefs of tbe Bureaus of Steam Engineer ing snd Construction and Bepair of this Department will take charge ot tne ves Is. machinery, materials and fittings." Similar letters also were sent in regard to tbe Atlanta snd Boston, and another wa issued to the chiefs of certain bureaus to take charge of the work. In issuing this order. Secretary Whitney save: "Tbe order issued to-day, with reference to the Boston, Atlanta and Chicago, is made in pursuance of my duties under tbe elev enth clause of the contract.

Under that section there is to follow an iuventory showing to what point of completion the vessels hsve come and what material is on band in the contractor's yard, which has been provided for the ships, and bow lar the wora has progresseu, to oe ioi-lowed by a valuation of theae thing There is a moDosition that tbe depart ment shall decide whether to complete the ships. As tbe matter now stand there is no question of my duty to go on and do this, and it works an incidental bent; flt, of course, to the contractor and to his employe's. Tbe governments steps into tbe vard. takes possession of the sbtps, plant, pays lor the completion, and then has an accounting with tbe eon-tractor at the end, and if tbere is any profit ihe contractor has it, and if there is any loss he pays it. Under these circumstances, it is entirely fit for the beads bureaus having supervision of the work to nse tbe contractor's force and his plant for the purpose.

Extremes of heat mesa extremes of thunder and lightning and cyclones, so that while sweltering with heat, one is suffering with fear so that the feeling of the persona that have a cyclone retreat to run to when toat black, ominous cloud appears, is something like those having a big insurance on their bo ') ding when a bra is about to burn it. We left our fri. nda on the Bt. Croix comfortably cool. Taking the St.

Paul and Duluth iUU-road for St. Paul, we made a number of excursions into the country, going to the numerous lakes tbat max a nne resort in hot weather; but tbe going down of that little steamer on the Mio atonka, with Minneapolis 'a ex-Mayor and family, throws a shadow over them for the time being. It was truly a sad affair; not one a red. St. Paul and Minneapolis, two rapidly growing, and 'competing cities are suffering a depression, the same as all other cities east, west, north and south.

In many cases a halt has not been sounded any too soon, as their empty buildings show. Nearly all industries are suffering alike, Tbe large lumber interest that make much of the business of these two cities, is very much depressed. Drawing a straight line from Chicago to this place, and Chicago would seem to be far at one side, but aa all roads end in Chicago, ours was no exception. Coming down the Mississippi valley by day tight gave us a good opportunity to see tbe country. The crops oo all the bottom lands looked fine, which consiated mostly of corn, for the reason, we suppose, that it is tbe most prohtabl.

We are told that there are not near as many logs being rafted down the river aa usuai. We cross the river from fhe west to the east side at Lacrosse, and see no more of it until we cross it again at St. Louis. Having spent some days in Chicago on our journey East, a half day with the thermometer at SG aut-ficed for our business, and we took a sleeper for St. Louie, where we fonnd tbe thermometer bad gone five better.

Hot son makes corn grow, aa we did not wondor their corn was big.

We passed directly through the Indian Territory, where there is ao much trouble between the Indians and cattlemen. The moat of this Indian Territory ia fine grazing 1 ands and in some instances the cattle men have leaaed lands of the Indians at two cents per acre, and oa the strength of this others have gone npon it without any rights, and General Sheridan ia out here with Uncle Sara's men to adjust matters, but it ia one of the many troublesome eases with our Indians, where justice to one party works an injury to another. Through the southern part of this Territory and northern Texaa ia a An belt of timber called the Cross Timbers, thus named because it passes diagonaly across the State, Bed Kiver, at or near this place is the divid- ing line, and ia rightly named, for its waters are as red aa ordinary red paint, made so by th red soil. Denison is a young, growing city of 10,000, and in a good farming country, the crops of which are corn and cotton.

Baku. larsact Per hZmsclumu't Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch. 1 Lord Rothschild has taken his seal in the British House of Lords. Skeptics who scoff at the miracles recorded in the Bible. Hob Ingeraoll himself, must doubt the evidence of the senses oa reading of the instalment of a Jew among the exclusive hereditary legislators of Great Britain.

It reads like a page torn from the Book of Esther, the report of Lord Carrington, dhe son of the same unrelenting anti-Semitic Carrington, who for ten years bitterly fought gainst the admission of Lionel Rothschild to his seat in th Honse of Commons, escorting the ann of same Lionel, not as a Commoner, but ss a Lord, to the place in th gorgeous hall where the peerage oaths are administered to newcomers in tbe haughty order. Was it not another phase of Raman's son heralding the triumph of the despised Mordecai, who had sat a reviled alien at tbo King's gate? Could old Hebrew-hating Lord Carrington nave ever areamea ox nis own son, the heir of his titles and dignities, escorting to dais in the House of Lords the son of that Jew Commoner he kept from his seat for a decade? No-, mw Lord Carrington waa too sure ia hia waking bours that the age of miracles wss past, never to return. Ijord itothachild took the oath modi. ned for thos of his faith on a copy of the five Books of Moses, printed in Hebrew. The Deputy Clerk of the House of Lords.

Haiti Diarueti. fnll brother of the late Benjamin Disraeli, and aa pure-blooded a Hebrew as th new Lord, held the Jewish hihU fnr th Jew peer to be sworn npon. By the tuue oi we new Aiord stood JLord ttose-bery, the husband of Hannah Rothschild, tbe daughter of Mayer Rothschild. My Lord Rothschild kept hia head covered, aa ia the custom of th synagogue, while being sworn on th faith of an Israelite. All stood bareheaded, except the Jewish Lord; and, if long pedigrees are of worth, all present should uncover tn him, for a lineage going back in an unbroken line to Wil- nam the rxorman is as yesterdty to his long line of descent, which is traced back beyond the era of the Pyramid builders.

The solemnity of taking the oath over. Lord Rothschild selected a es on the Liberal side, tmors the nn daunted adherent of Gladstone and Salisbury. As he took hia place all th Lords broke forth into cheers. What a miraculous change from th hootlnge snd jeeru gs to which his ancestors had been subjected by the rabble of England snd Continental Enrone for em. tnries! Jew haters and Jew riaitra who wrath has in our time been enkindled against the keen intellects, incoon table energy, nnfailing patience of the Israelites, because they hav.

against great odd, won foremost places as bankera, merchants. Lawyers, physicians, joura-alista, must tear their i.air in despair at sight of Lord Rothschild among the representative peers of Great Britain. Let those good Christians hie them to bfeeir churches and ponder deeply over the tines in tbe old Magnificat "He has thrust the mighty from their seats, and exalted those of low degree." Elmer H.

That this is true is shown in the present outbreak. From the day they left San Carlos up to the time the military reported the majority in Old Mexico covered three week, and their route can be measured inside of 225 miles. For several days they lay around with in five to twenty miles of Fort Bayard (military headquarters) and onite a larcre band of tbem com mitted murders within three and one-half miles of the post.

Within twenty minutes of this occurrence the officer of the post was notified. Refusing to be lieve it until a man, shot through tbe thighs, ran in to the post on a bare backed horse, be then rustled out the troops. Tbe Indians had thirty minutes start two minutes would have done as well. If it gets too hot for the renegades they esn surrender, and are insured good treatment. But for the soldier, certain death awaits defeat or wounds preventing him from joining his command.

Apaches fight solely under the black flag. Those they capture are frequently tortured, and si ways killed. A HOBBIBLK TAXiB. To illustrate the atrocity of the Apaches, I wfll describe a scene I wit nessed during tbe Victorio outbreak. Tbe day evious a party of HilUbnro citizen had started after tbe renegades, snd finding them close by, a hot fight ensued.

Victorio party largely outnumbered the citizens, who were badly killed. The fight occurred near Lake Valley, and in the vicinity of a ranch which was the home of twelve Deoptev The day after the fight news came that this ranch had been attacked, and some twenty of us saddled up and rode over to see what damage had been done. Arriving there, a sight presented itself that DBKW TSABS rtOM TBS STRONGEST MEK. In the honse and around it was one large slaughter-pen blood and brains on the walls inside and on posts and ground outside large streams and splotches coagulated on the hard dirt ground; bunches of hair and bits of hu man flesh in every direction. Lving in tiie midst of this were the budies of two men, two women and six children, all cut and slashed and bruised till but their raiment reminded one that they were human beings.

Outside the door on a sharpened wooden peg, used to hang meat, was impaled a babe of six months, tbe peg having passed through its body and six inches beyond. On a hillside covered with loose rocks near the house we found the twelfth, unin jured. When the Apaches attacked tbe house be escaped, aud laying down, witnessed the massacre. Uninjured, did I say? Yes; but what the day before had oeen a origin, intelligent boy was today A OIBBKBINO MANIAC. We took bim to tbe house and he laughed in merry glee over the corpses oi nis parents and playmates, and to this dsy he remains the same.

This is only one of the simitar yearly episodes amnortzed oy tne (Quaker policy of the ar uepartnient. TBS PEOPLE 8 DEMAND. What tbe citizens demand is: That the scouts be discharged; that every hostile or Indian found off the reserva tion and captured shall be turned over to the civil authorities; that the Indiana at San Carlos be completely disarmed, or that the reservation be abandoned.

If not, the San Carlos reservation will be raided and thousands of good Indians made. Tlae Grant Medals. Special Telegram to Cbieago later-Ocean. Washisotok. Aug.

Since 1876 Geioniino has bee: leader of tbe renegades, and notwith standing he baa been twice the prisoner of the civil and twice of the military authorities, he has through the years since that date left his trail of blood through Arizona, New Mexico and So-nora; and though ostensibly a prisoner of war for years past, he has again raided tne country at tne head ol his desperate band.

During 1876-7, the military and civil authorities exerting themselves, he was captured at Ojo Calient and carried in irons to San Uari08 for trial. Me was ho ally released by the military, and this after a vast expenditure to secure bis cap ture, ao follows a most extraordinary and inexplicable record in the treating ol this renegade. As stated, he was given his hborty in August, 1877. He remained npou the reservation about lour or ove months, and then started on another raid. After depredating in New Mexico and in Old Mexico tor a year aud a half he surrendered at Camp Kucker.

tie was neld a prisoner ot war a brief time and then escorted to San Carlos, where, after a brief imprisonment, he was again turned loose upon the reservation. He remained there until 1881, when without provocation be again took the warpath, rtaiding all the way, and "pursued" by the troops, he finally brought up in the Sierra Madras. In 1882 a portion of his band under one of his lieutenants retnrued to San Car los, KIVL.HO CHIEF OF SOOUfS BTKRLIWtf, and, icdaoiug a number of Warm Spring Apaches to join them, started on another rtd, in lttS3, in which over fifty settlers and many prominent citi zens, including Judge Mcuomas and family, were massacred. "Closely pursued" by tbe troops, they leisurely and without the loss of a man returned to the Sierra Madrcs in Mexico. Here the same year General Crook paid him a visit, accompanied by United States troops and about three hundred Indian ssonts.

He did not capture the renegade, but after a parley returned to American soil. Six mouths after, when the excitement had dted down, Geronimo and his men appeared at the "line" with a large herd of stolen stock By arrangement he was met by United States troops under Lieut. Davis and escorted safely to San Carlos, where he remain ed until recently a prisoner of war. The United ota tea customs officials, owners and all others, were prevented from disturbing the renegades in the possession of their toten stock, and the same was subsequently sold at tbe agency for their benefit under the direction of the military. THSIS BUTCHIBISa.

During the last twelve years the Apaches have butchered, in cold blood, over one thousand men, women and children in theae two Territories. Vio- torio'a band alone slew over four hun dred people in two years. The writer nf this article has, within six vears, with his own bands, helped to fiy in their graves over forty human beings, mangled almost beyond recognition. What swells the amount on these raids Is tbe large number of miners, prospectors, herders, that are found scat tered over tbe country after tbe raid is all over, and which, during the raid sod its excitement, are no factor in the lists of killed and wounded. The military place much dependence upon Indian scouts, with whose aid they expect to run down the renegades.

who ass rases scours Why they are mostly Apache Indians, friends and relatives of Geronimo's band. Time and time again it has been charged that when the troops were getting close to the hostile these scouts would lead tbe troops sway from the pursued, allowing them to escape. Chats, the leader of the band, sent np from Mexico by Geronimo in 1883, in which raid Judge Mctomaa and familv and many others were killed, is to-day first sergeant of Lientennut Davis's government scouts. Bom to, another redhanded villain, who participated that same raid, ia also with Davis trailing the hostile. Natcha, now with tbe ostites, was government scoot a year ago.

Vic- tono was formerly a government scout, snd so have been nearly all the leaders of the Apart) a outbreaks. This scenting is simply a training school for hostile leaders. In the field as govern meut scouts they may be in constant oommuuioation with the pursued, furnishing them full information aa to army plans, and protect thetn to the best of tbeir ability. Army officers, in denial of this assert that tbere have been a number of scouts killed by the I oueuiy iu htw jwui mimc uiaj unve.
