Ho says that there is a general feeling of unrest among the Indians, due to had faith on the part of the government and of the almost tptal failure of their crops. So far as legislation goes the other causes of trouble have been made right, hut as the Indian sees It, it is only another promise, which seems to inspire hope among them. The coming of Special Agent Cooper, he says, is having a most excellent effect. The general effect of the recent out break, however, upon the minds oi the Indians has been bad. The severe losses suffered by them, and the destruction of life which ensued has made their hearts hitter and sore. “They are generally no less inclined to be turbulent,” he says, “and the memory of the loss of kinsfolk, friends and fellow tribesmen rankles in their hearts, and is an ever-present source of discontent which may break out—will break out, whenever the needed spark is applied. •* Capt Penney says that the first step to injure peace and quiet upon the reservation would be to let the delegation selected by Gen. Miles last winter go to Washington again, to have Gen. Miles with them, and to speak unrestrained and freely to the president and Secretary Noble. He says the police force is demoralized and well-nigh useless. The rations given the Indians are umple, hut they do not know the element pf economy in preparing their food.

Pa., April 19.—Thursday night Constable McDonald, . of West Netvton, having in charge prisoner Sandy Wilson, of Greensburg, boarded the fast line on the Pennsylvania railroad bound for Greensburg.

Just as both men reached the ground a freight train came down the opposite track. The fast line was stopped, and after a search Officer McDonald was found alive, but unconscious from several wounds. Wilson’s lifeless body was found 30 feet from the track horribly mangled. The men had jumped immediately in front of the freight trail and were struck by the pilot. A Heavy Low by Fire.

Harrison at galveston The PfaskleiitiBl Party Given a Right Rfjfal Reception. Address by tfc© l*ree?.dc-n* Admirably Fitted to the riacc iiMihe OwirIou —The Sabbath Sfwnj Quietly —©If for San Antonio. Galveston, Tex., April 10.- Fully as oordiaL if not more so, than the welcome givers Gen. Grant on his visit to Galveston while on his tour around the world, was the reception President Harrison received when he arrived in this city at 3:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, The streets wefe alive with people, who kept up an tilthost continuous cheer. At the Beach hotel the president went to the stand and reviewed the' procession. This ended the ceremonies. At 8:30 o’clock the president was serenaded by Vo»ght's band. AVhen thi« was over, the president had a formal reception on the band stand in front of the hotel, and when the hand-shaking Was concluded, Gen. T. Waul deliver^ an eloquent address of welcome on^xhe part of th? city, to which the president respond ed as follows: My Fellow CrrrzENWWe close to-night a whole week of hand'Shaking, a whole wfcek of talking. I have before me ten thousand miles of hand-shaking and speaking, and 1 am not. by reason of what this week lias brought toe, in voice to contend with the fitte but rather strong guf breeze which potirs itt upon us to-night, and yet it comes to mb laden With fragrance of your welcome. Cheers ] It comes wftir softness, refreshment and grace, winch has accompanied all my intercourse with the people of Teisas. [Great cheering.] The magnificent and cordial demonstration which you have made in our honor to-day will always remain a bright and pleasant picture in my memory. [Great cheers. 1 I am g'ad te have been able to rest my eyes upon the city of Galveston. I am glad to have been able to traverse this harbor and to look upon that work which a liberal and united government has inaugurated for your benefit and for the benefit of tlio northwest. [Great and prolonged cheering.] I have always believed that ft was one of the undisputed functions of the gen erift governeminent to make these Waterways which penetrate our country, and these harbors into which your shipping must come to re; ceive the tribute of rail and river, safe, commodious and easy of access. This ministering care should extend to our whole country, and 1 am glad that, adopting of a policy with reference to the harbor work here at least, which I insisted upon in public message [groat and prolonged cheering], an appropriation has been made that is adquate to diligent and prompt completion of the work. [.Great cheering]. In the past the government has undertaken too many things at once. 119 annpal appropriations have Men so inadequate that the work of engineers was much retarded att^jften seriously damaged In the interv|^Bnvaiting for fresh appropriations. It is bUer policy, when the w ork has onee been determined to be of national significance,that appropriation should be sufficient to bring it speedily and without loss to conclusion. (Great -cheering.] , I am glad that the scheme of the engineer for giving deep water to Galveston is thus to be prosecuted. I have said the same of our south Atlantic and gulf ports. They occupy most favorable positions for new commerce towards which we are reaching out our hauds and which is reaching out its hands to us. [Great cheering.] I aui an economist in the sense that I would not waste one dollar of public money, but I am not an economist in the sense that I would leave incomplete or suffer to lag any great >vork highly promptrve of the true interests of the people. [Great cheering]. We are great enough and rich enough to reach forward to grander conceptions than have entered the minds of some of our statesmen in the past. If you are content I am not that the nations of Europe shall absorb nearly the entire commerce of the near sister* republics that lie south ofps. It is naturally in a large measure omr^Tours byright of neighborhood; our/ by nearness of access; OiKs by /that sympathy that binds a \emidphere without a king. The inauguration of the pan: American congress, or more properly, American conference, was conducted in a wise and comprehensive spirit that was manifested by all our southern neighbors, which has stimulated a desire in them -and in our people for « larger intercourse of commerce and friendship. The provisions of the bill at the last ^ession looking to reciprocity of trade, not only met with my official approval when I* signed the bill, bnt with my zealous promotion before the bill was reported. [Prolonged cheers ] Its provision concerning reciprocity is that we have placed upon our free list, sugar, tea, coffee and hides, and have said to those na- * tions from which we receive these greatest staples: ‘“Give us free access to your ports for the equivalent amount of our product in exchange, or we will reimpose duties upon

The law leaves it wholly to the executive to negotiate these arrangements. It does not need that they shall take the form of a treaty. They need not be submitted for the concurrence of the senate. It only needs that we, having made our offer, shall receive their offer in return, and when they have made up an acceptable schedule of articles produced by us that shall have free access to their ports, the proclamation by the president closes the. whole business. [Cheers.] Already one treaty with that youngest of the South American republics, the great republic of Brazil, has boen negO’ tiated and proclaimed. I think, without disclosing any executive secrets. I may tell you that our arrangement with Brazil is not likely to abide lonesomely imich longer [great and prolonged cheering]; that other^ arc to follow and that, as a result of these trade arrangements, the products of the United States, our meats, our breadstnffs and certain lines of manufactured goods, arc to find free or favored access to ports of many of these South and Central American states. AH states will share in these benefits. We have had an analysis made of the manifests of some of our steamers now sailing to South American ports, and in a single steamer it was found that twenty-five of our states contributed to the cargo. But we shall need something more. We shall need American steamships to carry American goods to these , ports. [Great cheering.] The last congress passed a bill appropriating $1500,000,-and authorizing the postmaster-general to contract with steam ship companies, for a period not exceeding ten years, for carrying the United States mail. Foreign mail service is the only mail service out of which the government has been making a net profit. We do not make any profit out of our land service. There is an annual deficiency which my good friend, the postmaster-general, has been trying very hard to.rcduce or wipe out. The theory of our mail service is that it is for the people; that we are not to make any profit out of it; that w© are to give them as cheap a postage as is possible. We are many of us looking forward for a time when we shall have one cent postage In this country. [Cheers]. We have been so close and penurious in dealing with our ships in car rying foreign mails that we have actually made revenue out of that business, not having spent for it wbat we have received from it. Now" we propose to change that policy and make more liberal contracts with American lines carrying American mail. [Cheers], Some one may say we ought not to go into the business; that it Is a subsidy. But, m$ dear friends,^ every other great nation of this world has been doing it and is doing it to-day. Great Britain and Frapca have built up their great steamship lines by government aid, and it seems to me our attitude with reference to that is amply portrayed by an illustration I mentioned the other day: In olden times, no wholesale merchant sent out traveling men to solicit custom, but stood In his own store and waited for his customers, but presently some enterprising merchant begun to send out- un*o with their sample cases to seek the trade, to save the country buyer the cost of a trip to New York' or Philadelphia, until finally that practice has become universal, and these active, intelligent men are scouring this country over, pushing and soliciting their several lines of I business. Nov/ imagine the conservative merchant in New York saying to hnigself: “AT tfcif ptiSlit Sg wine

to me.” If he should refuse to Adopt tbtse modern methods what would be tile teault? He must adopt the uew method or go out t*f business. We hare been refusing to adopt universal methods, used by our competitors in coultneree to stimulate their shipping interests, and we hare gone out of business. (Laughter and cheers). Encouraged by what your spokesmen haveaahl tonight 1 determined to declare that I am in favet of going intp business again, and when it is established I hope Galveston will he In the partnership. (Great cheetb.) 5, ( It has been the careful study of the postmaster general in preparing to execute the law to which I hare referred, to see how much of an increase inrroutes and shlpa we cotild secure by it. W• have said to the few existing American lines: “You hiust not treat tills appropriation as a plate of soup to be divided and konapmed by yon. Yon mu-1 meet generous people in a generous spirit; you must gird Us new lines, new ships, increased trips and now ports of eall.'1 Already steamship lines «r» looking over routes to see what they can do with a View of increasing their tonnage, and In establishing new lilies. The postmaster general has invited attention and the sng-’ gestions of all hoards of trade, of our seadtoatt! Cities. Undoubtedly you have received such a letter. This appropriation is for one year. What future circumstances are 10 be must depend upon ttic deliberate judgment of the people— If, during my term of office, they shall strike down tlie law* , that I believe to he beneficent, or destroy Its energy bv with holding appropriations, I shall bow to their will; but I shall feel the greatest disappointment il ivc do not make this an era for the revival of American commerce. I do inOeb Want that the time shall R01110 wlieri f'Ut citizens living I11 temporary ex’Jo in foreign ports shall now and then sue steaming into those distant harbors fine modern mcn-of-war. flying United States flags. [Cheers]. With the best modern guns bn her deck and a brave American crew in her forecastle. I want also that in those ports, so long unfamiliar to American 11 igs, there shall again bo found our steamships aud our sailing vessels flying the flag that we all love, and carrying from our shores the products that these men of toll Mite brought to them to exchange for prod uetS of other climes. 1 think we should add to all this. Happily It is likely to be accomplished by individual effort—the early com- • plction of the Nicaragua canal. [Cheers.] The Paciflp coast should no longer bo feund by only by the stormy passage of tho Horn. A short route should bo opened and it will be, aud then with tills wondrous stirring among the people of our states, this awakening to now thoughts and higher conceptions and. larger business plans, and more careful and economical work, there will come great prosperity to all our people. Texas will spin mpre cotton than she raises. The great states of tho south will be discontented with the old condition that made them simply agricultural .states, and rouse themselves so as to compete with older manufacturing states of tho .north and east. [Cbeers|. The vision I have—all the thoughts 1 have of this matter—embrace all the states and all my countrymen. I do not think Of it as a question of party. I think of it as a great American question. [Cheers.] liy invitation of an address which vs* made to me, I have fi Cely spoken my mind to1 you Hipon these topics. 1 hope I have done so without offense or impropriety. [Cries of No, No, and great cheers], 1 would not on an occasion- so full Of genernt good feeling as this, obtrude anytlmlgtost should induee division or dissent. For all who do dissent I have tlie most respectful tolerance. The views I hold are the result of youio thought and investigation, and as they are questions of public concern, I confidently ' submit them to the arbitramefitof a t rave and enlightened American suffrage. [Clmers |. In accordance with the wish of the president, Galveston people allowed him. to spend Sunday quietly. Accompanied by Mrs. llimmoclr, Post-master-General Wanamaker and Mayor Fnlton, he attended services at the First Presbyterian ehurch and heard a sermon by Rev. Mr. Scott. The church was crowded, and a number of persons shook hands with the president. After luncheon, President Harrison went for a walk along the beach withers. Dimmock and Mrs. Russell Harrison, and on returning to the Beach hotel, found waiting a large banquet of roses, which ' had been presented by , thirty girls of Galveston, from the Ursuline convent, who had called during his absence. A number of other floral tributes were also sent to him during the day. The presidential party left the Beach hotel at 10 o’clock to-night for tlifi station and the train left for San Antonio, shortly after midnight. The crowd at the station greeted the appearance of the carriage with cheers. Gen. Stanley, commanding the department of Texas, part- of his staff, and Mrs. Stanley will accompany President Harrison to San Antonio. Gov. Hogg, Congressman Crain and Jthe San Antonio reception committee left early j this morning for that place by special train. They will meet the ’’president in the morning. r

THE BLUE AND THE UKAY. Royal Reception of the 01*1 Masaehusctta Sixth at Baltimore—A Contrast. Baltimore, April 19.—The Worcester light infantry—the lineal descendant of the old Massachusetts Sixth, which will ever be remembered as the first armed and equipped regiment thjit marched to the relief of the national capital—arrived here yesterday at the same hour and over the same route traversed in 1861. On this day thirty years affo, the Sixth Massachusetts infantry, com--nanded by Col. Edward F. Jones, was tacked by a jnob while "passing through the city and lost four of its men killed and many wounded. The observance of the anniversary yesterday was arranged for some time ago and the reception accorded the Massacluissetts regiment will certainly destroy the last feeling of. resentment over the deplorable event of 1861, Mayor Davidson, representing the city, Col. W. II. Love, representing the state and three G. A. E. posts received the visiting delegation at Camden station and escorted it to the Carrollton hotel preceded by a band of music. Some of the old veterans of the Sixth were in line and were heartily cheered, particularly by those who participated m or witnessed their former reception in this city. MANY ARE CALLED.
