"Wismpk;, May 10, Batochu -Crossing, Tia Clark's Ceossccg, May i) We left camp at 6 this morning, leaving all sappliei and tents behind. We marched seven miles withaat seeing ox hearing anything of the enemy. The morning was bright and warm. Suddenly came the sjundof a steamer's whistle blowing continuous! v. As we neared we heard the sound cf heavy firing on oar front in the direction of the river. Oat line of march was as follows: First, Boal ton's ecouts. accompanied by a Gatling gnn; ereaad;ers force ed the advance guard, with a batterv; tbe Ninetieth batailion supported them, with the Winnipeg battery and the Midland bat&Uion in reserve. Gan, steamer, scoots and Gatling gun then pushed rapidly ahead, and eoou came upon two houses sear the brink of the river, which here ia very precipitous. An advanced party cf rebels were met. who tired and retired behind a boose towards a hollow. The Gatling gun was brought to bear on them, when they ran into a house near the Church of St. Laurent, whicn was also fired on by the Gatling, when ihey ran out into the bush. "A" battery by this time came up with a rush and got into position, sending several shells atter the rebels. Tbe grenadiers now advanced, march in jlf adily into action, and deployed into line, continuing to advance in skirmishing order till the church was reached, when a priest came out of a honsse waving a white tisg. General Middleton advanced and shoes: bauds, when three ether priests and five Sisters of Charity came oat. A number of halfbreed children were also inside, in Charta of the Sisters. Father Moulin informed me that tbe steamer arrived at a point a litt! above Eatoche at ":30 a. m. The rebels immediately cooimencsd firisg on her from both basks. She shortly after strark on a mad bank, bat swans clear again, and just before our arrival passed tbe crobticg. He also said the rebels had six killed ard twelve wounded at Fish Creek. "We jest got a glimpse of tbe steamer down the river. Ehe meat have had a hard fire. Her smokestack was gone. The grecad era advanced, skirmiehicg through the brush on the right of the trail, the Gatling being pesbed forward down the declivity toward I'atcche, now plainly visible in the valley telow. Here the battery unllinbered on too cf the iidge, sending sheila into them, and while doiig so were almost surprisad by a number cf rebe!a who crept Up through the brush, not being discoved until but twenty yards distant. They made a rush for the euns, firing and yelling as thev ran. Captain Howard, who operates tbe Gatling gun, saw the danger, ran the guns a couple of yards in front of the battery, and, opening tire, literally mowed tbe rebels down. Those remaining turned and ran from the gun. Reaching the shelter of the bu9h they opened fire aga.n. Bo ward's escape from injury was something marvelous, bullets Hying all around him. He gallantly maintained his position, however. Toe rebels, unable to stand th terrible fire, retired to pits coa trucied in a ravine running from the river. Our liue wis now ss follows: The Fortyfirst and Fifteenth Companies of the Midland, with the Winnipeg battery, supported by and C Companies of the Ninetieth, in the center and extending across to the riht, where tbe Grenadiers were supported on the left by B Company of the Ninetieth, on the right center oy D Company of the Ninetieth and on tbe extreme right by F and A companies. A" battery occupied tie left center, afterward retiring to the right near 11 a. m. As I bow write. Captain French, with his scouta and part of the dis mounted men of "AM battery, are down in the ravine. Firing is now continuous on the left and center, but scattered on the right. After a gallant bnt yain effort to -drive the rebels from the rirle pits, French's scouts and tbe battery men retired. The wounded are now coming in. At noon, tbe list of killed and wounded on our side is as foHaws; "A" Battery Gunner Phillip?, shot throoeh ihe stomach, died while being brought is; Thomas J. Stout, run over by gun carriage, not fatal; Private Clappton, shot through both leg?, one fractured; Gansers Fairbanks and Too bey, also shot in the legs. G rem diets Captain Mason, Company V, ili-ht wound in thigh. French Scouts R. Cook, slight wound in the leg; Corley Allen, in the Bhoalder. L'p m. -The rebels' lire has gradually cecsed, the troops, however, still keeping up a scattered lire along the line, gradually Blackening nntil 4 o'clock, when only a few shots were beard. No more cf oar troops were hurt. "Wm. Brjce, lately a prisoner of Kiel's, but who escaped on Toeiday, was brought in by scouts He rays that Kiel's force is little over 4X, half of whom were oh the other side of the river when he left. He also says that when ammunition was served to the rebels only one tee of powder remained, and bullets were also scarce. The women and children had been sent to the other side of the river and the prisoners were safe so far as he knew. a p. m. Bolton's horee have gon back to our corral to bring np all the wagons and supplies. We camp ts-niht here. General Middleton being determined to hold the , position j Capt Young hs just climbed on the roof 1 of the church and descried a bviy of Indians ! on a level near the river bank, about a mite j way. Tbe Winnipeg battery was at once j ordered out and sent several well directed abells, scattering them immediately. The firiogbasnow entirely ceued, bnt maybe resumed at any moment. N news has been received from tbe steamer, bat she keeps blowing ber whistle, bence it is concluded she is safe. The sound apparently comes from two or three miles down the river. Early in the morning crowds of wonun, children and mounted men were seen hurrying into the bush on the other side o tae liver. The weather has been warm and bright all day. b.'-'O p. m. A body of Bebels just opened fire from the bluff near tbe ravine on oar right front, evidently on our skirmishers They have fired three volleys, bat are shooting too hl?h to reach ns. The Winnipeg battery is shelling honres in the distance where large numbers of Rebels ore gathered. A second shell crashed through the first souse, and the Rebels rushed out, Another shell blew the roof off the house beyond. As dispatches leave, the scattered firing is going on. We eipeqt to engage the Rebels tomorrow and to communicate with the boat later. rnisuisG HEß bethayee. efoslDg Marriage , Missouri Girl Gets Judgment and Conviction, IarDEi-xspiBca, Mo., May 10. At a special Cession of the Criminal Court of this county, John A. Wheeler was yesterday sentenced to two years in the Penitentiary for the betrayal cf Ida W. Wheeler under promise of marriage. The trial took place three weeks ago, but a motion for new trial was overruled and sentence passed. As endeavor will be made to carry the eis to the 8upreme Court.

THE KNlGliTSTOWN HOHE. The KeorsaaSzation Com plet ami Ererj. thing In ;ood Working; Order. A Kindergarten to be Establlahed at the Home Disappearance of the " Floating Island." The reorganization of ths Knightstown Heme is now complete, and word comes from the institution that new life has been infused into it by the adoption of better methods, and everything is working in perfect harmony, with a fair prospect of reaching the end designed by the Stats In establishing nd providing means for maintaining the Home. Energy and ability characterize the new management; a number of persons are at work preparing comfortable clothing for the children; tbe came food supplied to the Superintendent's table is given to them, and the little orphans find themselves indeed the wards of the Sfate and their interests guarded with a jealous care. A little incident connected with Sanday night's cupper is related of the Home which illustrates the childish propensity to provide ittelt with the delicacies of the table without regard to thoio that are to follow. In the bill of fare Sanday night wa3 "floating island," a dish made of milk, eggs and ssgar, and on that occasion flavored with lemon. Tbe children ate first, and when the Superintendent and attendants sit down to lupper it was diecoveied that the "floating nland" hsd all disappeared, the children apparently relishing the dish more than any other on the table. A person who took sapper there that evening and who is the Sentinel's informant, says that the matter was regarded as a good joke and produced nj-iie enjoyment than would have been occasioned by eating the custard. The same person fays that onSitarday eome of the d inch ärgert employes took occasion to show their spleen by making insinuations and.throwrnjr out slurs aruinst the lady member of the Beard, but she bore it all with that calm fortitude and womanly forbearance which said, m language plainer than words, tbat she would not permit herself to fall to that level by bandyiog words with them. The action of eome of thore who were discharged showed conclusively that they were not lit to occupy the positions ibey bad held, and in illustrating this fact tbey rea'Iy paid a high compliment to tbe penetration of the power thai gave their positions to others. One of the employes, to say the children, advised a numoer cf the orphans to run away, and acting upon this advice, four of them scampered erf. Tbey eoon repented of this rashness, however, and returned to the Home, where they expressed themselves as heartily ashamed of their course, arid promised nerer again to follow such tat ad vie. Mrs. Pittman, says the Sentinel's informant, is still at tbe Home, and is superintending the work of making clotbiog for the children, and they are beginning to appear as neat and tidy aa those who have the comforts cf home and the festering care of a mother and father. She is np early in the morning, and takes the lead of a bevv of girls in handling the broom, mop. scrubbing bruth and dust pan. and in this way she not only sets an example, bat teaches them the value of tbe work, as well as how it should be done. At her suggestion a change will be made in the school of the Home, aad it will hereafter be conducted on the kindergarten plan, a change that will be doubly advantageous to the pupil?, who must ultimately leave tbe institution and depend upon their own exertions for a support, and it will be found necessary to have something besides the mere rudimehts of an Knglish education. The prediction is made that, ' under, the new order of things, it will be but a short time till everything will be going on both prosperously and happily. Peace is the watchword and harmony and good will tbe motto of the institution." The same authority said: "The statement which appeared in an Indianapolis paosr, in effect tbat tbe lady member cf the Board is nervous ai.d hysterical, provoked no little amusement at the Home, and the person u&ing the terms was certainly not acquainted with their meaning. No, it is not Mrs. Pittman wno is nervous and hysterical; it is tomebody else, in fact, several somebodies, but they are not at the Home now." A Kemarkable Success. Pond's F.xtractthaa established its merits in tbe most ditlicult way, by pushing its s access for forty years, growing stronger every day over the entire civilized globe. You hear people say continually: "Oh, yes! I use it. It cured me of a bad case of hemorrhage, or piles, or catarrh," as tbe case may be. While it is peculiarly a family medicine it cares boils, burns, wcundsand all kinds of inflammations and bemorrages. Bs careful to get the genuine. A Stewart County, Georgia, fisherman, who put ont his trout lines in the Nineteenth district, tells the Independent that one day last week he caught a pound and-a half cattish on one of his books, and left it daring ths night, snd that on retnrnisg tbe next mornirg he found that on the same hook he had caught an owl that measured four feet from tip to tip of its wings. There is no section of country in the world except tbe dark Nineteenth where owls dive after lish. Brown's Little Joke. "Why. Brown, how short your coat is," said Jones one day to his fiiend Brown, who wittily replied: "Yes; but it will be long enough before I get another." Some men spend so much for medicines that neither heal nor help them, that new clothes is with them like angels's visits few and far between. Internal fevers, weakness of ths lungs, shortness of breath and lingering couehs, soon yield to the magic influence of that royal remedy. Dr. R. V. Piercs's "Golden Medical Discovery."

Recorpor ihcation. BlcClellan and Stanton. In an article on "Tbe Peninsular Campaign" in tbe May number of tbe Century, General George B. McClellan says: So long aa Mr. Cameron was Secretary of War I received the cordial support of that Oiartment, but when he resigned the whole slats cf affairs changed. I had neyer met Mr. Stanton before reaching Washington, in 1MJI. He at once sought me and professed tie utmost personal affection, the expression ot which was exceeded only by the bitternets of his denunciation of the Government atid its policy. I was unaware of his appointment as Secretary of War nntil atter it had been made, whereupon be called to ascertain whether I desired him to accept, saying that to do so would involve a total sacrifice of his personal interests, and that the only inducement would be the desire to assist me in my work. Having no reason to doubt his sincerity, I desired him to accept, whereupon he contented, and with great effusion exclaimed: "Now we two will save the country!" On the next day tbe PresMent came to my house to explain why he had appointed Mr. Stanton without consul ting me; his reason being that be supposed Stanton to be a great friend of mine, and that the appointment would naturally be satisfactory, and that he feared that if I had known it beforehand it wnid be said that 1 had dragooned him into it. 'in more serious difUculties of my position began with Mr. btantou's accession to the War Office. It at once became yery difficult to approach him, even for tbe transaction of ordinary current business, and our pei6orjsl relations at once ceased. The impatience of the Executive immediately became extreme, and I can attribute it only to the it fluence of tbe new Secretary, who did many things to break up the free and confidential intercourse that had . heretofore existed between the President and myself. The Government soon manifested great impatience in regard t tht opening of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and the destruction of the Confederate batteries on the Potomac The first object could be permanently attained only by occupying the Shenandoah Valley with a force strong enough to resist any attack by the Confederate army then at Manassas: the second only by a general advance of the Army of the Potomac, driving the enemy back of the Rapldan. My own view was tbat the movement of the Army of tbe Totomac from Urbana would accomplish both of these objects, by forcing the enemy to abandon all his positions antl fall back to Richmond. I was therefore an willing to interfere with this plan by a pre

mature advance, the effect of which mast bs either to commit us to the overland r ate or to minimize the advantages of the Urbane movement. I wished to hold the enemy at Manaseas to the last moment if possible until the advance from Urbana actually commenced, for neither tbe reopeaing of ths railroad nor the destruction of the batteries was worth tbe danger involved. The positive order of the President, probably issued under the pressure of the Secretary of War, forced me to undertake the opening of the railway. For this parpose I went to Harper's Ferry in February, intend ing to throw over a force sufficient to ocsupy Winchester. To do this it was necessary to have a reliable bridge across tbe Potomac to insure supplies and prompt reinforcements. Tbe pontoon bridge, thrown as a preliminary, could not be absolutely tru3ted on a river fo liable to heavy freshets; therefore it was decided to canstruct a canal-boat bridge. It was d if cove red, however, when the attempt was made that the lift-lock from the canal to tbe river was too narrow fjr tbe boats by eome four or five inches, and l therefore decided to rebuild the railroad bridge and content myself with occupying Cbarlestown nntil its completion, postponing to tbe same time the advance on Winchester. I bad fully explained my intentions to tbe President aud Secretary before leaving Waehington, providing for 'precisely such a contingency. While at Harper's Ferry I learned that the President was dissatisaei a ilh my action, and on reaching Washington I laid a full explanation before the Sjc retary, with which he expressed himself entirely satisfied, and told me that the Presideat was already so, and that it was unnecessary for me to communicate with him upon ihe subject. I then proceeded with the preparation necessary to force the evacuation of the Potomac batteries. On ths very day appointed for the division commanders to come to headquaiters to receive their Saal orders, tbe President sent for me. I then learaed tbat he had received no explanation of the Harper's Ferry affair, and that the Secretary was not authorised to make tbe statement already referred to; but after my repetition of it the President became fully fatisEed with my course. He then, however, eaid tbat there was another "very ogiy matter" which he desired to talk atjout, and tbat was the movement by the lower Chesapeake. He said that it had been suggested tbat I proposed this movement witn the "traitorous" purpose of leaving Washington uncovered, and exposed tj attack. 1 very promptly objected to the coupling of any such adjectlve'With my purposes, whereupon he disclaimed any intention of conveying the idea that he expressed bis own opinion, a? he merely repeated the suggestions of others. After showing that the fortifications of Washington were amply sailicisnt to protect it asaiust assault, and tbe frequent withdrawals of troops for its defense were as nnneceesary as they were fatal to the saoeis of his campaign, Oeneral McClellan clcees his art'.cle with a description of the seven days' fighting, and says: No praise can be too great for the ofiicers and men who passed through these Baven days of battle, enduring fatigue without a murmur, successf ally meeting aad repelling every attack made upon them, always in the right piece at tbe right time, and emerglog fcoru the fiery ordeal a compact army of veterans, equal to any task that brave and duciplined men can bs called upon to undertake. They needed now only a few days of well earned repose, a renewal of ammunition and supplies, acd reinforcements to fill the gaps made in their ranks by so many desperate encounters, to be prepared to advance a sain, with entire confidence, to meet their worthy aatagooists in other battles. It was, however, decided by tbe authorities at Washington, against my earnest remonstrances, to abandon tbe position on tbe James, and the campa:gn. The Army ot t Potomac was accordingly withdrawn, and it was not nntil two years later tbat it again found itself under its last commander at substantially the same point on tbe bank of the James. It was as evident in lKi2 as in l&iö tbat there was the true defttitecf Washington, and that it was on tbe banks of tbe James tbat the fate of the Union was to be decided.

IIISTOllY Of A RICH MIN E. How a Prospector Waited Twenty years for a Purchaser. Portland (Oregon) News. On Saturday there arrived at the Gil man Hotel, in this city, a plainly or rather poorly dressed, cadaverous looking man, about 60 years of age, who took a dollar-room. Scon thereafter it was .whispered that the new arrival was Thomas Cruse, the man who hsd told tbe Lumroond Mine, in Montana, for $1,000,000. Half of this amount is eaid to be deposited in the Fi rat National Bank in this city, and the other half in a Montana bank. It was noticed daring the millionaire's presence in the house that he spent no money tbat he could pcsübly avoid. On Sanday he asked where tbe Catholic C'nurch was, and, itstead of hiring a carriage and traveling as becomes a man of so much wealth, he tru Jeed on foot to the church and back. On Tuesday he left for his home in Montana. Yesterday a gentleman was met who knew Mr. Cruse well, and he said: "Yes, I am well acquainted with him. For the past twenty hve years he has been a prospector in Montana and Idaho, and his present wealth is due to the fact that he is one of those fellows that get hold and never let go." "Why, it's twenty years since he strack the mine that he sold for more than a million and a ha 'a. In order to develop it he would work for a while for others to obtain a Btake forjerub, tools and powder. Then he would put'in his time on the mine nntil his lands were exhausted." "Finally he etrnck pay dirt, and his entbnsia'.m knew no bounds, and f r three or four years before he sold oat he made a living out ot it. How? Why, by extracting a few hundred pounds of ore and taking it to his cabin and reducing it to a pulp in a mortar and washing it out in a bread-pan. You see the mine, a'thougn rich, could not be properly developed without capital." "Being of a secretive disposition, he had a door at the entrance of bis hidden treasure which he kept locked at all times, and the mirers used to call the place 'Cross's prison.' " "The story of the great richness of the mine epread far and wide, and big offers were made for it Among those who made an otter for tbe mice was Mackay, cf Bonanza fame, but the hardy prospector knew fall well the value of his find, and would not sell until he got his figure. Cruse was a stayer from away back, and don't you forget iL Had it bsen me I would have sold out long agV "Finally an English syndicate commenced to argle with the lecky prospector, and at one time negotiations reached such a stage tbat tbe papers were drawn np and read to Cruse, who was also represented by his attorney. A clause in the agreement was read by which the purchasers could buy the oneSixth interest be retained, should they so desire. This jarred on the old man's ear like a false note to an orchestra leader." "I want that stricken out, and I'll give yon just fite minutes to do so. If you don't the jig is up," leotentlously said the man who had waited twenty years for a parcbaeer. "Well, but that's a mere formality, and it's sot likely the company will want to freeze you out," said the representative of English capital. This sort of expostulation was kept up until the bands of the clock marked the expiration of the five fateful minutes. "Tbe jig's np," slowly and sternly said Cruse. "And indeed it was, and the failure to accede to the request made by Cruse cost $100,000 extra, and it was several months before be resumed negotiations. Had the clause been stricken out five sixths of the mine could have been purchased for SL'30,000 but when the negotiations were resumed 9 1 wv,wu was asaea anu leomftu iur uresixtha of the Drum Lummond Mine." The mine is situated about three miles from Butte City, Montana, and is probably the richest gold producing miaej injtha world.

itldSlA lr raxTKau. ASIA, Kar Frorm Actum th Erta aad Or er the Great Oase of Turkestan. I New York 8an 1 A little east f the narrow tract now in dispute between Russia and Afghanistan is that extensive protuberance called by the natives The Pamir, or the Roof ot the world. This wonderful plateau.furrowed by deep valleys, through which flow the head etreaois ot great rivers, is the loftiest in the world, aid btretches away for some hzindreds ot miles from 10.0CO to 15,000 feet above the sea. It is an elevated iaili muss connecting those almost impaf-fable mountain System of Asia, tbe Tbian Sban and Altai on the north, with tLe Hindoo Kcosh and Himalayas on the south. Here history places tbe cradle of the European races. Here lived onr Arvan forelathers, who, leavmg the Pamir slop's, followed-great rivers westward; and finally pastured tteir herds in Europe. Hither are returning their descendant, tbe Slavs and AngIo-axcns, sooner or later to contend f jt tbe supremacy of Asia upon this historic ground from which tbeir primitive progenitors are believed to bave migrated. The Pamir sent its waters west to fertile tbe Turkestan deeert, gave the nation a passage-way through the mountain barriers, along its streams that pourd eastward into the Tarim and southward into the Ganges and the Indus, nurtured the civilization tbat Gerghis Khan and Tamerlane founded in Turkeetau. and maie possible the advance of Rnssia into Central Asia. Though Peter the Great dreamed of extending Russia's power far beyond the Caspian, it was not greed of conquest or commerce, but the need of defending he'sMf against barbarous neighbors across the Ural that first turned Ruisia toward Central Asia. Ivan III. put an end to the terrible Tartar invasions tbat for centuries wasted half of Kossta and laid its chief cities in ashes. But his successors did not free Russia from the ctt cf pillaging Kirghiz and Turkoman tribes until tbey established the Muscovite power ia the large territory between the Ual River and tbe Aral Sea. They sank wells in the Ust Urt plateau to facilitate ths operations of their army, marched against the turbulent Kirghiz, and after several hard campaigns they subdued these 2,000,000 nomacs, who, for over twenty years bave paid their conquerors without a murmur their abuual tax of tbree roubles a tent. Beyond the Kirghiz steppes that bordered Russia stretched far eastward across tiie assert two belt! of verdure, through which flow two great rivers, the ancient Oxus and the' Jaxartes, now known as the Amu-Daria aud the Syr-Daria. The one rising on the southern and the other on the northern slops of tbe Pamir, bad for ages distributed over tbeir banks alluvium borne on rapid tides from their headwater?, creating long and continuous oaees in the midst of the most desolate desert of the worid. Here were rich lands and populous and half civilized nations Here were the routes to inner Asia, caravan roads that led to China, the highways over whicn great camel trains from Bokhara had for many yeais borae to Orenburg and Astrakhan their loads of cattoa, silk, skins and shagreen leather to exchange fev Russian hardware, chintz and gu as. Here wis a chance for vast expansion of Muscovite power aud commerce. Russia's motive W83 no longer f elf-protection, bat the sabjagation of tbe khanatei of Taikestan and the extension of trade. Her expedition ajainst Khiva in IS) ) was disastrous. Tbe bitter coidot tbe Un Urt plateau raided Perowekt's army. Russia, n paleed in her attempt to acquire the Oxui. turned to tbe Syr-Daria. Alter see planted her foot upon that river, her forward march was slow, steady and pershteot. Her line of forts along the left bank of the river lengthened year by year. She made the river her ally in her warfare nnon the Khanatei. Twelve years after tbe tiist Radian gun was leveled at the walls ef the first town In Kb.?kaud, this rich Khanate, including its metropolis, Tashkend, became the Ri3sin province of Ferghana Then Bokhara, afcer a bitter struggle, lost its independence. Twj of tbe tbree Khanates of Turkestan were now gained, tbe Syr Daria, from its mouth to its sources, was a Russian stream, and tbe Muscovite arms were one more turned toward the Oxus. General Kaufman's attack upon Khiva was crowned with success. The Khanate was added to the Russian conquests in Tnrke6tan, and the Oxas passed into Russia's coatroh What are the countries and the peoples whom Russia has conquered, at terrible con and after many years of bitter warfare? Tae tbree Kabnates are estimated to csntain from 5.0C0.000 to 6,000,000 people. Vambery says tbat in the richness of their soil and in the variety of their productions it would bs difficult to find in Europe a territory 'hat would 6nrpass the oasis countries of Tartest an. Bokhara, ancient seat of Mohara-ne-dan learning, still attracts thousands of students from India, Afghanistan, Cashmira and China. The town has 175 mosques, an I when Vambery visited it ü 000 stuleats wer studying theology, logic aud philosojhyia its eighty colleges. The chief cities ot the Khokand oasis, Tashkend, Tchemkent, Khodjend and others, ara scattered along the rich valley of the Syr-Daria. Several thousand Russian and Cossack peasants have, with governmental assistance, become tillers of the soil sear Tashkend aad Samarcand. Tashkend has 100,003 population, thirteen inns, sixreea colleges aad many mcsques, and Us exports and imports in 1878 amounted to $24,000,000. TheKniyau oasis, though kept within narrow limits by the surroundiog desert, is large and risa enough to support a populace of about 1.00 V 000 people. Since Russia conquered Khokand ehe baa placed upon the Syr-Daria a flsst of iteamers that ply up the river for a distance of 1.0Ü0 milos from the Aral Ssa. Sand bars in tbe lower Oxus impede navigation, bnt Russian boats have ascended tbe greater part ot its course as far as Choja 8aieh. no well known aa the point on tbe river whera, the Afghans assert, their frontier joins that ot Rustia. Both these great rivers are valuable arteries of trade, but the Oxus, thoaga the fertile lands along its banks are not ao extensive nor so populous as those aleng h 8yr-Daria, is destined to be commArciilly the more important stream. Wbile the SyrDaria leads only toward the coniparatit ely barbaroas countries of East Turkestan and Thibet, tbe Oxus will carry tbe freightage of Russia almost te the gates of India. It is evident to all students of her progress in Ceitral Asia that Russia's commercial aims include not only a vast augmentation of rur overland trade with Chiua, bnt tbe opening of India to her products as the reward of her long and, as yet, illy requited sacrifices in Turkestan. The evenues from her new possessions as yet! er hardly a third of the annual expenditures. Tbe Khanate of Khokand has been so o iiapletely absorbed by the Rusaian military government that its name has disappeared from recent rasps Bokhara and Khiva are still nominally ruled by their old sovereigns, but they are merely dependencies of Russia, and pay a heavy tribute for the privilege of retaining a aemblenoa of authority. The Khan or Khiva is not permitted to have an armo, and his subjects have been stripped of tb et r weapons. He is so far a more completely snbjeeted prince than the Ameer of Bokhara; who is permitted to man tain ai army of 10, COO men. which he has pledged himself to place at the disposal of the Russian commander, and which, according to Mr. BoaJger, will prove a serviceable auxiliary corps. When Russia had conquered tbe khanates, there was still hard work for her armies south cf the Oxus. where wild tribes of Turkomans constantly menaced her enterprises, and blocked tbe way to Herat. Some years after Khiva fell, SkobelefT and his Cossaks scattered the Teke-Turkomana, the greatest slave hunters and most lawless men who reamed the desert of Kara Kum. Last year the last strong hold of this tribe was occupied by Russian troops. It was the earth fort tbey were building in a bend of theMurghat Rivsr, at Merv, when O'Donovan Sviaitd tbem four years ago. Its ramparts, forty ff et high and sixty feet wide at tbe base, were speedily knocked to pieces, and Mary now forma part of the Russian Trauscajpian province. Yeara before. Sir Henry Rjwlinson, the greatest anthority on Central Asia, bad told thi BritiihGovarntneat that "Herat

ts at the mercy of Iba General who osotiaiei Wrr." Hot the public opinion to. Eigiaid o-d pot keep pace with tne march of eveats in Aria, and it was sot till the Rassist fortes Lad left the Merr oasis and received tbe eobmiseion oi the Turkomans south of Earschs that Giert Britain awoke to tie belief that the Czsr was threatening Herat and menacing India.

HELD FOR THE LINNVILLK TKAOEDl. Ihr Men Arretted for the Crltn That Was Charged to Outlaw Uuxzard. LAxcAtTF.n, Pa, May 0 Oa Thursday a delegation of representatives from the eastern end of tbe county, bordering the Welsh Mountain, called upon tbe County Connmifßioners atd begged them tj ot!'r a reward for the capture of irbe Bazzsid and other outlaws. Notwithstanding the former's protect of innocence aad reformation, the comnjissioners resolved t give S1.CC0 lor the capture ef Bozzard and f.'Ui icr each of tbe three masked burglars who robbed Edward P. Linvilte'a house aad shot the owner. This prompt action was broegbt about by the failure of a detective to capture Abe Buzzard and his gang for wbichtbe County Commissioners hired htm. It is told that recently Buzzird met the detective and msde htm deny that he was after Bozzard and after humiliating him, caased him to be severely beaten, together with two companions, whose assistance he bad secured in the attempt to capture Buzzard. There two alleged companions of the detective were arrested to-day, together witU a third party, for the Linville tragedy by Alderman Spurrier, with the help of two of bia officer", Eichholtz and Ault, the rartv having started for the mountain. Early Jsfct evening rumors were on the stree that Spurrier bad been shot through the hat and tbat Officer Ault bad been shot in the leg, and a telephone message to that effect wss nceived from the region bordering the n cctitain. l!ut these rumors were dispelled by tie arrival of the officers with tbeir prisoneis to-rißhL The names of the prisoners are Js'tel Kortbelmer. forty-live years old and married, who wss arrested at his bonae near the Sien Board," on the Wdsh Mountain; Elwood Kurtz, Jtwenty-five years old, u imairied. and living in the same locality, and D;ck McNallv, iorty-five years old and nnmsrrid, who lives near the scene of the Linville traget; y. McNally'a father plants tobacco on shares for Mr. Linville, and the accaaed was stripping tobacco on the Linville farm when arretted. Tbe men were taken so suddenly tbat tbey had co opportunity ef resistance and Kurtz tad not yet arisen from his bed. When touched on the shoulder he started np without bearing an accusing word and said: "I didn't do anything " and when told what he was arrested for he declared tbat he bad not shct Linville. Thete men have done time in the Laccaster County Prison for larceny or burglary. Kurtz's father is a Londoner and respectable. The men were taken to the Gapin a wagon, froai which point they were brought ta this city by rail this evening and were finally committed to prison by Alderman Spurrier for a hearing next week, when Miss Linville, who stripped the mask from one of the murderous barglars, is expected to be present to identify him. With the incentive of $1,000 reward for the capture of Buzzard, hundreds of men, efficers and citizens, are flocking to tbe mountain in tbe hope of securing the notorious leader of the gang.
