He recommends a Democrat as his successor. VICE PRESIDENT HENDRICKS is at In­ dianapolis, and expects to remain there the most of the summer. Speaking of affairs at Washington, he said there was a feeling that the administration had not been de­ cided enough in various ways, and possibly a little too conservative in certain respects President Cleveland appointed Zach- ariah Montgomery, of California, Assistant Attorpev General for the Interior Depart­ ment. The President has also made the following appointments: Michael M. l'helan, of Missouri, to bo Consul General ci the United States at Halifax; ex- Senator Edward G.

THE Indian neprs from New Mexico and Arizona at this writing wears an ugly look. A Tucson (Ari.) dispatch reports: A band ot Indians attacked Phillips' ranch, aboil1-, three miles from Fort Bayaid, and killed old Mr. Phillips, his son Gen. Phillips, his wife, and two children, aged 3 and 5 years, and handed the oldest girl on a. meat-hook, which entered the back portion of her head, in which position she was found by a party of rescuing citizens. She died within a tew hours. Those killed by the Apaches number now thirty-six men, women, and children. The following is sent from Silver City, N. M.: The Apaches are still makiutr bloody trails through this section. It is now thought that three or tour different hands are committing depredations and murders in as many sections of territory. The hostiles are thought to num­ ber aliout 300. Four chiels are with them-- Geronimo, Nana, Naetcha, and Chihuahua. This morning the hve bodies of a Mexican family, consisting of a man, his wife, and three children, were found live miles from here. One other per­ son is known to have been killed in the same vicinity. Numerous ranches on Bear Cre^k were sacked, the horses stolen, and the cattle killed. The Indians approached within four iniles of Fort Bayard. Three troops of cavalry are now in pursuit. It is reported that a band of In­ dians are doubling back on an old tr il in the direction of Bear Creek. This band numbers seventy-five to eighty. Another band on the Gila Hive;- drove off 130 head of horm s. Two couriers are missing. Three more prospectors have been killed on the south fork of the White­ water. Joseph buntinir, killed on Magollon Creek, made a brave fight, killing two Indians, one a chief. The tiKht was witnessed by Bunt­ ing's partner, who was just coming into camn. He succeeded in killing two Indians before get­ ting away. News h is just been received of ad­ ditional killings in the Black liange. Families from all the surrounding country are in town. Touching the cause of the present out­ break, the following is telegraphed from Washington: From correspondence transmitted by the War Department to the Indian Bureau, it appears that the Apache Indian outbreak was caused by whisky. The Indians manufactured large quantities of "tiswin" and became intox­ icated. Knowing that punishment would fol­ low the infraction of the rules they abandoned the reservation and went on the war-path. ined than described, as they were asleep in their berths when the 'shock came.

I am glad to hear that you have treated the prisoners well and have released them. FRED MIDDLETON, Major General. Promptly on time Poundmaker arrived with the captured wacon train, some stock, and wagons loaded with repeaters and shot-guns, and a few flint-locks, numbering in all 210. Gen Middleton then held a big pow-wow, which lasted three hours. Poundmaker blamed Kiel for inciting the Indians to rise, and said he came in to tell the General to kill him so as to save his people. Several chiefs followed, all blaming liiel for misleading them. A scene occurrcd during the pow-wow when Gen. Middleton asked who killed Barney Fremont and 1 ayne. One brave rose from the circle, kneeled at Gen. Middleton's feet, saying the great chief could cut him in pieces, as he killed Payne. He further said he did not want all punished for his offense. He said he killed Payne in self-defense. He said he demanded ten days' rations from the instructor, as he was going hunting. He was refused, and Payne, he alleges at­ tempted to in-asp his shot-gun. He succeeded, but the Indian rezalncd it and shot him with buckshot. His grandson, Wawonice, confessed to murdering in cold blood Barney Fremont, who was greasing a wagon. The murderers were taken into custody. Although the uprising is virtually ended, the summer will be spent disarming the Indians and trying tne half-breeds. Settlers say thev wiil not venture back to their r r i s until the Indians are nut whwe they can do no harm. THE MARKETS. NEW YORK.

A Nebraska Water Spent Overwhelms a Partr°f fmm m Tndlftnolft, A Sad caJatoity is reporte Neb., by which three women and six chil­ dren lost their lives. All of them were Bohemians, and belonged to the religious sect called Mennonites. A dispatch from Indi mola gives the following particulars of the disaster: A party of seventeen Bohemians, en route to Dundy Creek, camped in Richmond Canyon, half a mile from the liepublican Biver, nine miles east of this place. At dark a heavy rain set in, and about 10 o'clock a waterspout burst a short distance above, flooding the hereto­ fore dry canyon to a depth of fifteen feet. This came down tlie canyon, each wave rising n foot or two higher than its prede­ cessor. The paity was asleep in the wagons. The one nearest the bed of the stream was occupied by John Macek, his wife, and son; the center one by John Os- mer, his wife, and four children, and three other children; and the third was occupied by Joseph Havelic, his wife, and three children. • When the flood struck tho wagons Hare- lie was the first to arouse. He jumped up. grasped the wagon tongue, and attempted to pull the wagon out of Ihe water. Fresh waves struck it. wresting the tongue from his grasp and carrying the wagon oat into Jhe raging flood. Osnier had already jumped from his wagon and succeeded in getting his four children to shore, but before he could re­ turn to the wagon it was carried down in the seething canyoii. The first Macek knew of the situation he was sailing down the stream. Seeing a tree just ahead, he bade his wife and son cling to him, and that he would try to catch the tree. He succeeded, but the sudden stop shook oil' his wife and son, and they went down in the flood. Macek climbed into the tree, from which he was rescuod in the morning. , But two of the eleven bodies missing had been fonnd. In one of the wagonf: was a coffee-pot in which was $1,200, which was washed away and not recovered. There was no wind. The storm was ac­ companied with thunder and lightning. It was simply a sudden deluge of water, which, in the immediate vicinity where it felL was ten feet deep, and, as it spread, covered the prairie to a depth of three feet. Fourteen soldiers belonging to the United States Cavalry were drowned in the same canyon in 1871 from a similar cause. TWENTY-TWO PERSONS PERISH.

The names of the rescued men are Hubert Albert and Frank Alphonse Marie. The City of Rome left Liverpool on May 20, and sailed from Queenstown the following day. There were on board 821 passengers. The weather was fine until Monday, when, after a bright morning, a dense fog came on. At 4:30, when the fog was thickest, the men for­ ward saw the spars and masts of a bark ap­ pear in the west, barely twenty feet away. It was too late to stop the City of Rome. The signals to reverse the engines were given,but she struck the little bark and her iron bow cut the George Jeanne with as little resist­ ance as if she had been a cheese. A few spars floated on the sea and four men could be seen struggling in the water. Life-buoys were thrown to them, and as soon as possible the steamer*was stopped and backed where the bark had been, and two boats were lowered. By this time one of the four fishermen had sunk, two were cling­ ing to buoys, and a third floated alongside the steamer, supporting himself by a spar. A saloon passenger cried out, "I will give £100 to anyone who will sAve that life." The man on the Bpar was doubled up, as though chilled by the icy water. He had to be rescued quickly or not at all. Several sailors prepared to jump over the side, but they were prevented by Fourth Officer Turner, who rigged a rope around his body and, taking another rope, had himself low­ ered to the man. Turner succeeded in get­ ting the rope about the Frenchman's arm and neck. Strong arms pulled him half way up the side of the boat, when the loop slipped over his head and he fell back into the water and sank out of sight. This was the captain of the George Jeanne, Joseph Riondin. Meantime Albert and Marie were picked up by the boats. THE DAIRY INDUSTRY. The Commissioner of Agriculture Issues a Circular. [Washington telegram.] Commissioner Colman, being anxious to obtain all the facts possible pertaining to the dairy industry of the country, and par­ ticularly respecting the manufacture of articles designed for pure butter, but- terine, suine, petrola and the like com­ pounds, has prepared a circular to manu­ facturers of dairy products. It IB his wish to place before Congress and the country a complete statement of the factory product of cheese and butter, as well as of their adulteiated imitations, and he suggests the propriety of making monthly records of the work of each manufacturer, in order that re­ turns may be obtained more readily for such time as may be deemed best to aggiegate the result. October, he says, being the month when cheesemaking declines, it may be decided to have ail the returns of butter and cheese production terminate then, allowing six months for the dairy season.

At Reading, Pa., Charles Smith, aced 12, dropped a knife into a twenty-five foot well, and going down to get it was overcoma by gas. Isaac Doyle, aged 26, descended to rescue him and was also overcome, and both were taken out dead. GEN.

Two Thousand Inhabitants of a iburb of Waoo, Texmp^ .; Driven from Horned J , - Eleven Persons Known to Hare Been Drownel and Five n^uiceoanted °rsr,iPp (Waco (Tex.) special.} ' The violence of tho late storms here are overshadowed by the rain and tornado of last night. The rainfall did not cease until this morning. All streams in and close to the suburbs of the city, the banks of which were dotted with hundreds of residences, overflowed aud transformed their surround­ ings into a vast sea. The scenes of terror and confusion were heartrending. People fled for their lives from their homes in the midst of the raging storm. Thomas Denninglioff, his wife, and three smtill children, remained in their honse, which was washed away, and all were drowned. Howard Lewis, his wife, his sister, and three small children lost their lives in a similar manner. Eleven persons are known to have per­ ished and five others are unaccounted for, and reported to be drowned. The damage to ^property by the tornado was immense. The total damage in the city is estimated at $50,000. The Brazos River rose two feet above high-water mark. The finest cotton Klantations iu Texas are located along its anks. and were submerged. The losses in McLennon County will aggregate fully a quarter of a million dollars. The grain crop is destroyed--beaten to the earth by the wind and terrific rain. East Waco has been inundated since Sunday, and the scenes there last night and to-day were indescribable. Seeing that the waters of the Brazos River threat­ ened them witn watery graves, the popula­ tion--about two thousand persons--fled from their homes in the midst of the storm, aided in escaping by the light of the vivid lightning and hundreds of lanterns. No lives are repotted lost in that portion ol the city. Relief measures have boen organized for the suffering hundieds that are destitute and homeless. Jhero were no trains on any of the roads to-day. Scores of bridges were swept away and the road-beds badly damaged by washouts. The highest point reached by the Brazes River was thirty-two inches above the high-water mark of the great overflow of last year. The approaches to the suspension bridge on the east side of the river were demolished. The estimates of the damage to property in and about Waco, do not include the damage to crops and farm propeity, which cannot now be esti­ mated, but good judges place the damage to the growing crops at $500,000. The storm was so terrifre lor three hours that it may be properly called a tornado, accompanied by rain. Rain fell in blinding sheets, and was blown against the large buildings, pro­ ducing a Found like the distant roar of Niagara. Everybody in the city was up all night. Many colored people thought a second deluge was upon them, and pre­ pared themselves to go by vigorously pray­ ing. At Iredell and Morgan, in Bosque County, a number of residences were wrecked, but no fatalities are reported. Advices from Austin report that the Colorado River has overflown immense tracts of bottom lands planted in cotton and corn. The damage to these crops will be immense. Six small bridges on the In­ ternational and Great Northern Railroad were swept away. All railroad embank­ ments for nearly a hundred miles have boen badly washed, lendering travel dan­ gerous. Weatherford, Midlothian, Dublin, Mar- lin. and other points in the State report an immense rain-fall, accompanied by heavy wind, vivid lightning, and deafening thun­ der. All tell the same story of swollen 6trearns submerged farms and fields, and general havoc to the glowing grain. Farmers are greatly dejected over the outlook. The rains cover a very large wheat area. Crops were doing finely before the rains, but tjje rust will now certainly set in on the wheat, and the weeds will grow so rapidly that the yioUl o£ wheat will be reduced one-half. •.V THE CYCLONE SEASON. A Kansas Town Visited by a Funnel-Shaped Cloud, and the Citizens Save Themselves by Crawling Into Their Cyclone Holes. I Atchison (Kan.) special. J Particulars of the cyclone at Goffs, Kan., have reached here. The appearance of the storm, which approached from the south­ west, was grand and awful, and the frightful roar of the whirling, lightning- edged clouds was louder than the com­ bined noise of a hundred guns. The path of the storm through the town did not ex­ ceed twenty or thirty rods in width, but within that space everything destructible is a wreck. Two persons were fatally and several seriously injured. One man was lifted up by the whirling wind, carried a distance of thirty yards, and deposited in a door-yard. Flying timbers had broken both his legs, and when fottnd he was in­ sensible. The appearance of the town after the storm had passed was desolate and forlorn beyond de­ scription. The panic-stricken oitizens, many of whom had received slight injuries, emerged from cellars and "cyclone holes," into which they had plunged, and set about rescuing the wounded, and rec<tvering prop­ erty, which littered the ground in every di­ rection. Some strange phenomena were witnessed in connection with the storm. The curb of H. G. Pickett's well was broken of close to the ground and the well itself stuffed full of chickens. A thick mist flying at an awful rate of speed seemed to precede the cyclone, while during its prevalence wind, rain, hail, thunder, and lightning blended into one awful and never-to-be-forgotten scene. PREPARING TO MOVE. Efforts Being Made by the Mormons to Sell Their Personal Property and Leave Ctah. [New York special.] There are indications that (he operation of the Edmunds bill with reference to polygamy has had an unexpected ef­ fect upon the leaders of the Mormon Church. Under pressure of the Edmunds bill the Mormons have been im­ pelled to make a proffer of the sale of all their personal property to a syndicate of Eastern capitalists, with the intention of emigrating to Mexico and taking with them such other followers as can be induced to leave Utah. The proposition has Ijeen laid before several large Eastern capitalists, who have been invited to consider it purely from a business stand­ point. The agent in the matter is John W. Young, a son of Brigham Young by his first wife. Young was one of tho contract­ ors for the building of the Union Pacific Road, and is a sharp business man. He has been here for two or three months on this mission, and has one of his wives with him. Thus far Young has made no prog­ ress beyond getting a hearing from capital­ ists who have taken his scheme under con­ sideration. The Plymouth Plague. A Wilkesbarre (Pa.) dispatch says: Two deaths occurred at Plymouth to-day, and four of the occupants of the hospital are in a critical condition. The disease has been most prevalent among the Hungarians and the Poles. A complaiut was this afternoon laid before the District Attorney, to be brought to the notice of the Grand Jury now in session here, as to the careless and dilatory manner of the Borough Council of Plymouth re­ garding the enforcement of sanitary rules.

An Ohio Editor Receives a Coat of Tar and Feathers. Norwalk (Ohio) special to Chicago Times: Bay S. Hathaway, a reporter for the Toledo Democrat, has been in the habit of coming to Xorwalk and sending correspondence to his paper embodying any gossip floating on the 8'irt'ace of current talk. Having printed a lot of slush of this character, Hathaway would come to Norwalk on the noon train Sunrfay with a lot of his paper.-', which ho would otter for sale. He came here as usual yesterday. This morning W. H. Peters, Henry E. Smith, and C. L. Merry, all'merchants, who had been attacked in the Democrat, took matters into their own hands. Hathaway was lured out to the St. Charles Hotel barn to look at a horse. Peters then seized and Merry and Smith tied bis hands and feet. A physician was also present. Hathaway was then taken into the barn, where a pail of tar, a brush, and a bag of feathers had be.'ii previous­ ly placed. A coat of tar and feathers was quickly laid upon Hathaway, and he was left to his own reflections. A revolver and "billy," taken from his pockets, were turned over to the Marshal. Hathaway was a sorry-looking sight alter he was released, and it took over an hour's work by a number of persons to clean him up so that he could take the noon train to Toledo. The men implicated in the aiiair say they did not care what stories were retailed about them personally, but when the charac­ ters of their wives were assailed they vowed vengeance.

The Seventeen.fear Locusts. Washington telegram: Prof. Riley says the seven teen-year locusts, whose visit he has pre­ dicted, are harmless to growing crop -, and do no injury except to the twigs of forest and fruit trees. Whirever young orchards have been planted on land wh« h lias been cleared during the last seventeen years tlie trees are liable to suffer somewhat, but it is probable kerosene spray will protect them. The ordinary locust, whh'h it* so destmctive to crowing cri ps, has jaws which cut, while the seventeen-year spe­ cies. more properly called the cicada, has only a beak through which he sucks his nourishment. Kiel's Tria!. Ottawa (Ont.) telegram: It is understood to be more than likely that Riel will be tried un­ der an act ot Edward 111. entitled an act de­ fining "which olTen-ies shall be adjudged trea-. son."

Victor Hugo is dead. The word-painter who, as poet, dramatist, and novelist, elec­ trified the world, passed away at his home in Paris at 1:30 o'clock on the afternoon of Ma; 22, at the ripe age of 83 years and 3 months. There are all sorts of reports as to his last hours. One story is to the ef­ fect that he suffered liours of agony before the end came. This is no doubt magnified greatly in certain quarters from the fact that he refused spiritual consolation at the close. Paris dispatches give the following particulars of the last hours of the im­ mortal poet: Victor Hugo's condition had grown so mani­ festly worse that his death was regarded as certain to take place within a few hours. When this fact became known Cardinal Guibert, the Archbishop oi Paris, sent specially to Hugo's residence, offering to visit him and administer spiritual aid and the rites of the Catholic Church. M. Lockroy, the poet's son-in-law, re­ plied for M. Hugo, declining with thanks the Archbishop's tender, saying for the dvine man: "Victor Hugo is expecting death, but he does not desire the services ot a priest." His last words were '"Adieu, Jeanne, adieu," addressed to his favorite granddaughter. The scenes in Paris following the death of victor Hugo remind theobserver forcibly of the night of Dec. 31, 1882, when Leon Gambetta had just died. Tho streets and cafes are filled with groups discussing the Bad event, and many per­ sons are wearing the little mourning badges w.th a photographic portrait of the dead poet in the center, which are already for sale by the thousand. In the Senate, M. Leroyer delivered a eulogy on M. Hugo. The speaker said that for the past sixty years Victor Hugo had been the admira­ tion of France and of the world. He had now entered immortality. His glory belongs to no party, but to all men. Prime Minister Brisson delivered a eulogy in the Chamber of Deputies. He said the whole nation mourned the loss of Victor Hugo, and moved that the funeral of the poet be conducted at the state's expense. The motion was greeted with applause. It is proposed to inter the poet's remains in the Pantheon, and that the day of the funeral be declared a day of national mourning, on which all the Government offices, the schools, and the theaters shall be closed. The poet was sketched as he lay upon his death-bed by Bonnat, the painter, who will transfer to canvas the Impression taken. The sculptor Dalon took a cast of his face Nadav took a photograph. Glaize made another sketch. When his death was announced there was a great rush of reporters to the house, and the servants were obliged to repel them. L< ckroy closed the front door, leaving the table in the street for visiting cards. The body was embalmed, and immense quantities of flowers were brought to the residence. Mme. Bernhardt, dressed completely in white, brought with her an immense crown of white roses. Deputations from the municipal govern­ ment and from Parliament offered their con­ dolence. It Is reported that M. Hugo bequeathed his manuscripts to Franoe, and that he left it to the Republic to select a burial place for bis remains, and to decide as to the form of his luneral. Half his fortune, 4,000,001) francs, was be­ queathed by Hugo to his daughter Adele, who is in a lunatic asylum. It was Hugo's wish that his heirs and executors should hereafter join in building a lunatic asylum. 'Ihe clerical papers denounce Lockroy for withholding from Victor Hugo the message fiom Cardinal Guibertr .offering to attend the death. V Biographical. The following brief sketch of this intel­ lectual giant's life-work will afford the reader some idea of the immense activity of his career of more than four-score years: Victor Marie Hugo was born at Besaneon, I Feb. an, 18u2, his father being a colonel in the 1 French army. From Besaneon he was carried | to Klba, to Paris, to.Rome, and to Naples before | he was r> vears old. In 1hw> hs returned to France 1 and received a classical instruction at a religious I house. The firsi volume of his "Odes and Bal- f lads" appeared in 1822, and his tales "Hans of | Iceland' and "Bug .larval" were written about 1 this time. Jn 1820 he pub lshed a second volume i of "Odes rnd ballads," which exhibited a change 1 in his literary and political opinions, and in 1H27 ;| he composed his drams "Crdmwell." In 1829 he J published his "Last Days of a Condemned i Criminal," the terrific interest of which secur-; * ed an immense success. M. Hugo" pre-" • pared a further attack on the stiff and unnatur­ al style of trench dramat c literature in his "Hernani," iiri-t played at the Theatre Kra-i- •% cais Feb. 26, 1830, and which caused a scene of riotous confusion. The Academy went so far as to lay a cause of complaint against his attempted innovations at tlie toot of the throne. Charles X. sensibly replied that "as to matters of art he was no more than a private person. '1 Shortly after the revolution of July, 1.-30, his "Marion de Lornie." which had been suppressed by the censorship under the restor­ ation, was brought out with success. "Le Rot s'Amnse" was performed at the Theatre Fran- cats in January, and the day after its pro­ duction was interdicted by the Government. After publishing a number of dramatic pieces of various merit he was admitted into the Academy in 18U, and was created a peer of France by Louis Philippe. In 18i!) ne was chosen 1 resi­ dent of the teace Congress, of whk'h he had been a leading member. In 1862 Victor Hugo went into exile in Jersey, Guernsey, and else­ where, and refused to avail himself of the gen­ eral amnesty Issued Aug. 15, 185 ». On the fall of the empire, however, he hastened back to his native country, entered heartily into the repub­ lican movement, and was returned to the Na­ tional Assembly at Bordeaux, which he soon quitted in disgust, sending, on March 9, 1871, the following characteristic letter to the President, M. Grevy: "Three weeks ago the . Assembly refused to hear Garibaldi; to-day it refuses to hear me. I resign my seat." M. Hugo then went to Brussels, but the Belgian Government, alarmed by his violent writings and his avowed sympathy with the Commun­ ists, exj*'lled him from the country. He then sought refuge in the seclusion of the little town of Vianden, in Luxemburg, where he composed "L'Annsee Terrible." Returning to Paris in July, 1871, he pleaded earnestly for the lives of Ferre, liossel, and the other Communists to no effect. At the next elections he wan defeated hy M. Vautrlan. M. Victor Hugo has given an account of this period of his career in "Actes et Paroles," published in 1872. He wrote much after he quitted Frauce in 1852 His satire "Na­ poleon le Petit" appeared in Brussels in 1H52; Les C'hatimentV at the same pi tee, in 18.r>3; and "Contemplations" at Paris, in 1863. His fame rests principally on his "Notre Dame de Paris," which has been translated into most European languages, ; nd is known in Knglish under the title of the "Hunchback of Notre Dame," a book the Roman Catholic clergy never forgave him for. Ills semi-historical and social romance, "Les Miserables," translated into nine lan­ guages. was issued at Paris, Brussels, London, New York. Madrid, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and Turin the same day, April 3, 18(12. This was . followed in i sti4 by a rhapsodical work on Shak- speare, not likely to add to his reputation. His last novel, "L'Homme Qui liit," api eared in 186:). M. Victor Hugo was a prolific writer, the principal ot his works being "Claude Gueux," a tale; "Lucrezia Bortria," "Marie Tudor," "Ruy Bias," "Les Burgraves," and "Marion de Lorme, plays; and "Le Rhin,' a b<o'c of travels. His most recent worn s are "La Legendedes Siecles," new series; "Histoire d'un Crime," beina an account of the coup d'etat of Louis Naj o eon; "Le l'ape," a poem; "Li Pitie Supreme," a poem; "Religions et Religion," a poem, which, beginning like "Les Chatiments,"1n a tone of comedy and irony, rex iews creeds and systems, passes from catholicistn to nihilism, ai d con­ cludes by an atllrinution of a theism without "catchechisms, korans, and gramma; B;" '"Les ouatre vents de I'Ksprit," 1881, poems; and "Torquemada," a dramat.c poem, 1883. Tennyson's Tribute. Lord Tennyson has paid the following tribute to the "king of human hearts," as Victor Hugo has been styled: Victor In drama, Victor in romanc?.
