WASHINGTON LETTER.
Gen. Coppinger Reports the Bannoch
Indians .s Quiet and Peaceful.
By Our Regular Correspoadent.
Gen. Coppinger, who commanded the
troops sent to Jackson's Hole on account of
the reported refusal of the Bannoek Indians
to obey the civil authorities of Wyoming.
arrived in Washington this week. He brsught
his report, which is now in the hands of
the Secretary of War, and has had a long
conference with Secretary Lamont, which
was also attended by Indian Commissionor
Browning. Gen Coppinger agrees with the
U S. Distriet Attorney ai De'puty MareialI
whose reports reached the Departnmnt of
Justice about two weeks ago, as t-o, th origin
of the trouble being s--heming white meln.
He declares the Bannc'k India:.s to be ,p:t
and peaceable. Gen. Coppinger thinks it
would prevent any similar trotbies in the
future if the entire Jaoksoa Hole country
were annexed to the Yellowsltone Nationa
Park, but Wyoming may not r*gard the loss
of such a big slien of t erritory as a satisfacto
ry ending of the matter. Congressional a:
tion would be necessary to make ;i:h a
change.

heaviest downpour of rain in twenty-five
years. Starting at 2 o'clock in the morning,
there was little cessation until 6 o'clock at
night, laned 4 76 inches is the record of the

wash-outs and cave-ins resulted.
One death, the result of the storm, was re
ported. Mrs. Annie 0. Smith and her son
were washed off the foot bridge that spank
Jones Falls at Mount Washington. The
y oung man succeeded in reaching the shore,
but his mother was drowned in the stream.

attention to the covering of their cAton in
the future than they hcave in the past. The

cotton world, has pcassed a resolution that
after the exiration of the coming season of
195-96 all baldes not packed in accordance
with the regulations of the Maritime Con
vention held in New Orleans last February,
and the regulations of the Galveston Cotton
Exchange. endorsed by the conference, es
pcially so far as the weight, cioseness of
wearing, ealend::ring of bagging and weight
and size of bands are concerned, shall be
subject to a penalty of $5 a bale, or such
amount as may, in the opinion of the di
rectors, prove suifficdent on delivery at

REMOVING THE OPPORTUNIT.
Major Rosewell was a man of fixed
habits. At nine o'clock every morning
he entered the door of his club,.seated
himself before the fireplace, and pro
ducing a copy of a New York paper of
the previous day's issue, proceeded to
peruse it. It was an unwritten law of
the club that while the Major was so
occupied he should not be disturbed,
and the only man who at any tIme
dared to do so was Crichton.
Crichton was a man with an inex
baustible supply of dreary anecdotes.
Everything reminded him of stories,
which he would relate with infinite
care and elaborate detail whenever he
could secure an audience.
Therefore when the Major saw
Crichtou enter the library one spring
morning he buried his nose deep in
the editorial columns of his favorite
fournal, and made no sign of recogni
tion.
Cichton strolled about the room in
a desultory way, until the Major be
gan to grow nervous and uneasy, and
to feel that the room was getting
rather close, so he called to one of the
servants : "Charles, I wish you wou'A
let that window up. It's very close in
here."
Here was Crichton's oppornunity.
Smiling pleasantly,, he commenced,
"Letting that window up reminds me
of a story -" when he was interrupted
by a roar from the Major:
"By Jove, Charles! let that window
dow !"-flrnr' aazi.lA..

Makin Shot in Water.
The shot making trade has a legend
which recites that hack in the days
when guns were shot off by lightel
matches and were swiveled to supports
because they were too big and clumsy
to be lifted to the shonlder, and when
all shot was molded as bullets are to
day, soma workmen were fastening an
irou grating to the wall of a castle.
They had cut out the hole in the
stone, and, after placing the iroa in
the hole, p:>ured some leal in to hold
the iron in place, just as they do to
day. Sorne of the lead escaped an I
ran over the edge of the wall into the
moat below. Soon afterward the at
tention of the soldiers was attracted
to the lead in the clear water, and,
dipping it out, they found that the
