GHIOAOO , 111. , September fi. A
special from Tucson says the delay in
getting tidings of Col. Carr and his
command is believed to be caused by
the numerous streams which have
swollen from the recent rains in the
mountains , The telegraph line to
Fort Apache has boon down for sev
eral days , and the distance is over 100
miles , a portion of which must bo
doubled.
Lieutenant Iverr , post adjutant at
Camp Lowell , who is well acquainted
with Carr's method of dealing with
the Indians , places no reliance on the
carriers , and believes that ho will yet
turn up with a portion of his com
mand. Troops have begun to arrive
from California. Company A , Twelfth
infantry , and company I , Eighth in
fantry , passed through Tucson yester
day on their way to the front. Sev
eral moro companies will pass through
to-day , if not detained by wash
outs on the Souther n Pacific railroad.
It is now raining heavily.
Two friendly Apache chiefs , Eske-
ma/.in and Laugcla , advised the set
tlers on the lower San Pedro three
days ago to leave for Tucson , that
something bad was brewing among
the Indians on the reservation. One
hundred and fifty Indians , supposed
4o bo Mescaloras , attempted to board
the vest-bound passenger train on the
Southern Pacific road yesterday fifteen
miles west Tf Doming. It is believed
sthat they are on their way to join the
White Mountain Indians.
It is reported that a rancho was at
tacked near camp Bowie yesterday and
.tho entile family of seven persons
skilled. Signal lights were observed
on all high peaks of mountains to the
northwest last night and south as far
as the Chiricahua mountains northeast
of Tombstone.
Advices from Camp Thojnas siatft
that tlioro is nothing- yak direct from
Apache. A Mr. llethrock , of Phce-
nix , who loft there the 30th ult. ,
readied Thomas last night. Ho says
he saw no Indians on the road and did
not. hear of the massacre until ho
reached that place. Ho says Col. Carr
went out with eighty men , a company
of Indian scouts , and the following
officers : Capt. Ilcatig , Lieutenants
StantonCruse , , and Dr. McCrccry ,
and Col. Carr's son.
A WHOLESALE IlEVOLT.
SAN FJIAVCJ.SCO , September 5.
Troops for Arizona left this city this
morning by special train , to go
go through as speedily as possible.
The belief of the army officers is that
all the Arizona Apaches have joined
in the revolt ,
Despatches from Fort Thomas say
there are no couriers from Fort
Apache. Indian runners report that
in an attack on iho fort a Mexican
captain rode General Carr's horse into
the parade ground , recklessly draw
ing the fire of the troops and return
ing the fire as ho rodn off unhurt. It
is reported that Lieutenant Gordon
and sevou men were killed.
A train passing Wilna was pursued
four miles. The ranchers are leaving
their farms in the neighborhood of
13owio and preparing for defence at
that station. A lart'o number of In
dians are in the vicinity.
Indian runners lately arrived hero
continue to confirm previous reports.
Col. Biddlo , with a small force , loft
for Camp Apacheycsterday afternoon.
There is no longer any doubt but
there will be a general outbreak of nil
Apache Indians , and exposed settle
ments which are on every side of the
reservation must suffer severely.
A dispatch from Tucson says Major
McLclland , with sixty men ol the
Sixth cavalry , have left Lowell for
Fort Thomas. They go via old Fort
Grant , to observe the movements on
the lower San Pedro. If half the
reports are true , there is a fear
of a general uprising of the
Apaches , which means a war
of extermination. Nothing further
is learned from the scone of the mas
aacro , the women and children being
moved from Thomas to Grant.
WASHINGTON , Segtembor 5. Secre
tary Kirkwood to-day received the
following dispatch from Indian Agonf

Some of the Indian scocts having at
this time left their own camp and
came into thu camp of the troops.
Capt. llcntig ordered them to leave
and while doing so , an Indian turned
and fired , killing Capt. Hentig , in

Capt. Gordon , successor to L'apt.
Hentig , was wounded in the leg.
There were no other casualties. Fir

heavy from the hostiles. Wo believe
that wo can keep them out of thepost ,
but no more.
They hastily gathered up the dead ,
and found seven men and ono officer
( Captain Hentig ) killed. They buried
them inside the tent of Carr , which ,
with everything but the saddles and
ammunition , was left on the field as , a
blind to cover their retreat. Three
badly wounded soldiers wore placed
on horses , and at 1L o'clock the com
mand started for tins post , Ono of
the wounded men died at 4 o'clock

The Indians did not follow , evidenly
thinking them still at Ciben. Gen.
Carr made a , forced march , not stop-
wing anywhere until he re.iehed tlio
post at 4 p. in. on the 31st. His
troops were badly used up with hun
ger and fatigue. The hostiles are
swarmina through the country , and
came within a milo of the po-jt this

Tr.itr.r. HAUTE , Intl. , September 0.
The Gazette interview
to-day publishes an
terview with Hon. D.xn Voorhcos ,
democratic United States senator
from this state , on tlio question of the
vice president assuming the duties of
the ollico of the chiot executive in
case of the president's disability.
After reviewing the many singular
features of the case ho says that the
cabinet has no right to decline the
"inability 1 of the president , or to in
vite the vice president to act in his
place. The antics of tlio cabinet ofii-
cor.s are specified by law , : tnd they
cannot go beyond them.
What kind of proclamation could
the cabinet issue on this subject ?
What clause of the constitution or
what section of the statutes of the
United States could they cite as au
thority for interfering with the ques
tion at all ? Andi f the cabinet is to
determine the inability of the presi
dent , would they not also have to de
termine his recovery ? If wo are to
submit the questions of physical and
mental capacity to persons unauthor
ized by law to decide them , I think ,
after allwo hadbottor'go to thodoctors
with them. The truth is , however ,
that the people must determine them
through their representatives in con
gress.
Question At the event of the pres
ident's death , what , in your opinion ,
would bo President Arthur's policy ,
and what is your estimate of his abili
ty and fitness for the ofiicoV
Answer I have not the slightest
disposition to speak in disparagement
of Mr. Arthur , but , in my candid
opinion , ho is less fitted for the oflico
of president on the score of ability ,
training in politics , official experience
and intimate surroundings and advis
ors , than any man whoso iiamo was
over seriously canvassed in connec
tion with that great position. 1 think
the whole country distrusts him , per
haps as much as 1 do.
There will bo a rush to worship the
rising sun if ho attains the powers ,
but at heart the fooling of the country
is the same as I express. If , however ,
iu the inscrutable providence of God
ho is to become president , I wish him
M o.'ir-j rrrf'Jflsei. . ' tiaiay
and prospciity , and I will assitt him
all I can , but I must bo permitted to
doubt. In my opinion his policy will
bo a personal one.
Ho is sandwiched permanently be
tween Grant and Colliding. Aa faith
fully as an administrator with will
annexed , will ho carry out their
wishes. They are both full of Iho
most intense grievances. Grant re
members his defeat at Chicago with a
bitterness that makes him brutal and
savage on that subject. Conkling
dwells on his defeat at Albany with
hr.tone , undying purpose , and that is
tc yt H'.cn witli his enemies. These
K i IIUMI .ire both stiong in their dif-
fi'iiui \v.iys , and when combined as
tln. y , ne , they constitute a power
nhich will control absolutely every
step of Arthur's administration.

I'lio physicians niy : this morning ( hat

ho president is fully jisvoll ns'limuin

ion is threatening him. Tlio pulse
still keeps about ICO , ami tlio temper-
iluro n little high. Doth are athib-
itod ( o the prcaiilont'a restlessness
luring tlio night.
All iho evening his iniiul was full
> f going away. Ho would ask whether
.ho car had m rived , how soon ho
vould start , wlioro ho would bo lo-
caled at Lone * Branch and many other
jucstions. ] lo said ho know the jour-
icy would not hurt him , and that ho
vos anxious to go. So much did this
subject work upon his mind that it
ntorforod with his sleep , and ho rest
ed but little before midnight. After
hat ho slept as soundly as at any
imo during the present week.
The usual enema was adminis-
ered at 1 o'clock. At 2:20 : the pros-
ilcnt took nourishment by the mouth
ind at ! lfiO : was sponged oil' and given
uoro food. No stomach disturbance
md occurred up to 10 o'clock this
Horning. While the president is
hinking so inucli about going away
rom Washington preparations for the
ouruoy are progressing. Beginning
it midnight a gang of mou liuvo been
iiisy laying the track on Sixth strcut ,
and at 10 o'clock this morning had
completed a two hundred yard oxten-

i free from thu dust. The inside has
been hung with heavy curtains and
Brussels carpets have been laid on the
lloor. The bed has been placed in its
position and mattiesscs of the very

largo ice boxes have also been placed
in the car , filled with ico. The sleeping -
ing apartment is about thirty feet
long and has nine windows on each
sido. There are shades and screens
80 that liu'ht and ventilation can
bo regulated ,
The railroad company have arranged
tha mattress frame between two inner
curtains. This frame is laid on inch
plank fastened to the sides of the c.ir ,
so that it just clears the floor. This ,
however , will doubtless bo replaced
by a water mattress. The bottom of
the car is ballasted with iion. All
arrangements were completed to-day ,
and if the president's condition will
allow , and no storm arises , lie will
probably bo moved to-morrow morn
ing.
ing.Up lo 1 o'clock the president had
passed the day as favorably as yester
day. The only difference has been
the increase in the president's pulse.
Since the noon bulletin his pulse has
reached 110 , and has fluctuated in
that legion during the forenoon. The
temporuturo remained a degree above
the normal since the forenoon ,
The physicians say that no alarm
has been occasioned by the high pulse
and temperature. The president has
not gained sineo yesterday.
Tlio high pulse in , no doubt , duo in
a great measure fo the president's
deep anxiofy regarding his removal.
Ho is exceedingly anxious for the re
moval and his constant thinking about
it causes some irritation. At the
White House the people say that the
time for the departure has not boon
fixed. The surgeons are examining
the car this afternoon. All will bo in
readiness to start to-morrow morning ,
but the condition of the president will
liavo all to do with the time of lo.av-
inij. Ho has had no vomiting to-day.
CAN III' < IO TO-UAV ?
The question of the president's con
dition narrowed down to-day to
whether ho will bo abto to go to Loiif ,
Branch to-morrow. The genera'
opinion is tliat ho will. Arrange
iiiontH are being made for that pur
pose. The doctors claim that the
Long Branch trip is not merely a last
resort , but will prove beneficial. Dr.
Woodwind is the only ono who made
objections , and lie submits to the ma
jority. The president is very anxious
to go.
The physicians' bulletins to-day are
favorable. They have whown at least
that tlio patient has moro than held
his own notwithstanding his gen
eral condition previously reported ,
and that ho ia bettor than for several
days past. This situation of allairs
was expressed by Dr. Agnew to a
friend this morning ,
Dr. Bliss said thin morning that
the president's pulse wai not at all
alarming , and his general condition
good. Unless HOIIIU now complication
arose ho thought ho could be moved
to-morrow with safety.
Dr. Boynton said this afternoon
that llio president was better than
for a week.
Ho snid that the pulse was high but
firm and uood and the general condi
tion satisfactory. Ho would certainly
bo able to no to-morrow. The gland
is doing well and the wound looks
bettor. The stomach is doing its full
part and Hie president is taking nour
ishment of the same character and va
riety as for Boveral days. At fi p. m.
Dr. lllisa stated that the jlan then
was to inovo the president early to
morrow. Everything will lie in read
iness for him by that time and it will
then only bo necessary for the sur
geons to.givo orders.
Of course , if the president should
sutler an unfavorable turn to-night ,
the entire plan will bo changed. The
immediate time of iho departure ) de
pends upon the president's condition.
If favorable , a half hour would bo suf-
ficont to Imvo men and things ready
to move him. IIo will bo moved be
tween 5 and 8 a , m. moat likely at
six. Everything depends on circum
stances. Every precaution will be
used to prevent disturbance of him
on the way , and the people watching
the _ traiiBfer at the white house are
cautioned to refrain from any demon
stration that might excite the patient
and lead to serious consequences. Ho
will bo screened from public gnj-.o.
The route will bo down Pennsylvania
avenue to Sixth street , wlioro the car
will bo in waiting. Tlio special train
will move oil'as Boon as the president
is on his bed , unless the trip down
the avenue may have fatigued or excited -
'
cited him' in which event it will be
held until ho rogainshis composure.
Ho will bo taken to tlio depot on
tlio bed on which ho now lies. The
only transfer will bo made at the rail
road car when ho will bo lifted from
his present bed and put on a specially
prepared bod. Men specially trained
for the purpose will carry the presi
dent on his bed from the sick room
down the wide stairway to the north
front of the white house , where a
conveyance will bo found awaiting
This covered wagon was built for
heavy travel , has a smooth , easy mo
tion and is largo enough to accommo
date thu president's bedstead , and
such of the physicians and nurses as
may bo selected to accompany him on
the drive to the depot. The vehicle
of transfer selected will bo an Adams
express treasury wagon , selected be
cause of its bettor length than oth
ers inspected. It is on a level with
the car ami a platform will bo built tit
the White House , so that it
can bo backed up to the bed.
Dr. Bliss gave his orders that the
wagon bo in readiness at the White
House to-morrow at 0:1)0 : ) a. m. The
railroad people have decided to leave
the question of speed to the surgeons.
On a trial trip to-day after the train
had started Col. Kockwoll throw him
self on the mattress and soon satisfied
himself it would ride enay. Dr. Bliss
then laid down ou it und it waa found
to ride perfectly satisfactory. The
train was run at different rates of
To the surprise of some there was
ess vibratory motion than at a slower
ate , and it is likely that this will be
he standard. In making the remov
al to Long Branch very little that
macks of bushiest ! will bo taken from
ho White House. Mr. Brown will
not take the papers bearing upon the
) dicial business , and the only busi-
less transacted at Long Branch will
elate to the president's condition.
At the request oi Airs. Garfield none
no will bo allowed to accompany the
i.irty except those whoso presence is
loccssary , and no provisions am miula
"or representatives of the press. They
vill not bo allowed on the train. The
cabinet olllcera will not he included in
ho party. It will consist of the at-
nst of the attending Burgeons , Dr.
Agnew , Mm. ( jarlicld , Miss Mollie
ularfield , Mra , Itockwoll , Miss Hock-
veil , Dr. Boynton , Gen. Swaim , Col.
lockwoll , Secretary Brown , and pos-
ibly Col. Corbin and ono or two
ithors.
None of the clerks or doorkeeper
will go on tlio train. Whoever is
icoded will bo sent tor. Mr. Prudon
vill bo in charge of the white house ,
vhich will bo closed for repairs.
People of Washington will hold an
union service at Lutheran memorial
church from 1010 ; ! to 1JJ to-morrow in
recognition of the proclamation not
ing the day apart for prayer for the
ireaiilont.
Preparations continue to go forward.
The train was all in readiness before
10 p. m. , and the express wagon was
joforo the door by ( lark , although it
lad been ordered to bo there only be-
'oro daylight. Little by little the
.laraphernalia of the trip hud boon
: onvoyed to tha depot during the oven-
ng , and the impression prevailed be
fore 10 p. m , that the start would bo
made by daylight. The doctors wore
rather reticent regarding the matter.
jut it win no secret that 891110 plan
was to bo adopted to avoid as much
of a crowd as possible. Secretary
Lincoln and Major Brock , chief ot
police , had a conference early in the
evening in regard to the military and
police escort to the wagon down the
iveiiuo. Thin will bo aulliciont to
keep back the crowds.

A number of workingmen have been
employed all day in preparing Charles
0. Franklyn'H ' cottage for the recep
tion of the president. .loose ( Irant ,
whoso cottage fronta Elber IJalot ,
has offered his cottage.
Preparations are nearly completed
for thu rocotitioii of the president ,
The Franklya eotlago is ready for oc
cupancy at any moment. The south
portion of thu El boron , which is
closest to thu cottage , has been va
cated and is being prepared for the
use of thojittondlng aurgooiw and an
adjoining cottagu is in reudinesss for
Mrs. Ciarfiold and family. Tlio do-
put stands on the folulli fifty feet

will ) > o jarred.
So the railroad authorities bogar
thu erection of a treat le to the cottugt
from u point about 2,000 feet abcm
the station whoru the. track trikos ui
almost level stretch , limiting a wide
rounding curve with scarcely a perceptible -
coptiblo decline ! . The distance wilt'
bo less than half a mile from the main
line to the cottaifo. To-night forty
men wore placed at work laying the
treatle. Tlio orders are to have it
completed by 10 o'clock to-morrow

the road says it will bo fitiishod up in-
the dot r of Franklyn cottage by 8
o'clock in the morning.

The weather is warm , with u cooling
southeast breeze , and it is thought the
threatened storm of last night will not :
occur. Many handsome ( lor.il gifts in
tended for the nick-chamber were sent
to Elberon to-day. The evening bulle
tin was generally accepted as an im
provement on its two predecessors of
the day. The fact alone that the pulse
had gouo down was significant enough
to maku people more at ease. During
the oveninc the best information from
the sick-room was to the ellect that
the president was continuing to do
well , and nothing seemed to delay the
proposed departure to-morrow.
