WALKERTON INDEPENDENT. WALKERTON. - - - INDIANA. TIIE NEWS RECORD. EVENTFUL HAPPENINGS HERE AND THERE. Political, Commercial and Industrial News from All Over the Land—Fires, Accidents and Crimes—The Gist of the News in a Few Lines. SENATOR QUAY HAS A PLAN. He Introduces a New Election Bill In the Senate. Is the Senate on the 12th Senator Quay introduced a substitute for the election bill. The principal point of difference between the bill introduced by Senator Quay and the Hoar bill is in the last section, which is as follows: -When it shall appear to the satisfaction of the President of the United States that in any locality the provision of this law cannot otherwise be executed, it shall be his duty, and he is hereby empowered, to suspend tlie writ of habeas corpus and to employ t lie armed forces of the United States, naval and military, for its enforcement, and for the protection of the officers whose duties are herein provided for ” In the House Mr. Dockery, rising to a question of privilege, offered a resolution reciting the fact of the reference of his “stiver pool" resolution to the Committee liules."and the fact that that committee had refused to report the same, and directing the Committee on Rules to report the resolution to the House for sonskleration. The resolution had been referred the first day of the session. The session was now half gone ■and nothing had been done in regard to it. The House ought not to adjourn until it bad exculpated the innocent and placed the ■damnation where it rightfully belonged. Mr. Adams of Illinois argued that the resolution did net involve a question of privilege. By a vote of 148 to 80 the House decided that the question raised by Mr. Dockery w»s not one of privilege.

EXPECTS TO BE PRESIDENT. Senator Stanford, of Californ’a, Looking Toward th- Whit* House. Senator Stanford wants the White House made larger. He has a notion that he may yet be its tenant with a four years’ lease, and accordingly he. has introduced a bill providing for its extension. Senator Stanford has the Presidential fevc- worse than any other man in public life. He really believes that the Republicans will be forced to nominate him in 1892 to secure the support of the Farmers’ Alliance, and if they don't do it he expects to be the Alliance candidate on a third patry ticket. His candidacy is based on his farm loan bill, ■which proposes that the Government shall loan money to the farmers on their laaid at 2 per cent, interest. As most of the farmers pay from 6 to 12. per cent, the scheme on its face is an alluring one. Stanford also expects to gain popularity by not pretending to be wiser than others. The other day in the Senate he told his colleagues that he was for whatever the people wanted He was for loaning them money by the Government because they wanted it, and if they wanted anything else lie said that he would be for that also. DID COL. FORSYTH DO WRONG? Official Report of the Battle at Wounded Knee Creek. The official report of the battle at Wounded Knee Creek has been received at the War Department. The report comprises Col. Forsyth’s own account of the battle, those of his captains, including. maps showing the scene of the battle and the location of the troops. and the indorsement of

General Miles thereon. These pa- ’ pers will not be made public till ( they have been examined by the President. Secretary of War, the commanding General, and other officials,who will probably be called upon to examine the maps and determine whether or not the troops were so stationed as to cause them to be shot down by each other, as represented to the department by Gen. Miles ten da vs ago It is understood that Gen. Miles adheres to the affirmative opinion after an examination of the maps referred to. FIXING IT FOR THE RAILROADS. They sen to Be Getting Everything They A‘k For. The action of Senator Cullom's interstate committee in deciding to amend the interstate act shows unusual hardihood. The committee was reasonably unanimous in agreeing on the amendment of the fifth section so as to permit the pooling of toe traffic and the opinion was heard that it could be got through the Senate without much opposition. This will hardly turn out to be the ease, for if the bars are K t down and the work of amendment to the law to meet the

wishes of the railroads is begun there is no telling where it will end. Following York agreement the impression created is apt to be that if the roads only stand together they can get whatever legislation they want from Congress. The Des Moines River Case. The United States Supreme Court has advanced and assigned for argument the second Monday of the next term the case of The United States, appellant, vs. The Des Moines Navigation and Railway Company, involving the title to some 100,000 acres of land along the Des Moines River, north of Raccoon Fork. These lands have been in litigation for years. Heard fh® Sermon by Telephone. The Rev. T. D Beecher, of Elmira. N. Y., preached the funeral sermon of Mrs. Langdon, mother of Mrs. S. L. Clemens. Neither Mr. Clemens nor his wife attended, but listened by telephone 450 miles away in Hartford, Conn. Anxious to Kill Indians. IN answer to a telegram sent President Harrison by Col. E. .1. Pocock, commanding the Seventeenth Regiment, Ohio National Guards, tendering their services on the frontier in the Indian troubles, Private Secretary Halford telegraphs that the matter has been referred to the Secretary of \V ar. ( 01. Pocock has 600 men all thoroughly equipped and judging from the tenor of Secretary Halford's dispatch they will be asked to go West unless the situation clears up materially in a very short, time.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK. EASTERN OCCURRENCES. Controller Myers of Now York has been served with an order directing him to pay $7.05 to Andrew Campbell, chief clerk in the Corporation Counsel’s office. The amount mentioned was expended by Campbell for “drinks,” etc., while procuring evidence in suits brought by the city. Controller Myers refused to pay the claim, and Campbell brought suit and secured a judgment. A final hearing took place in New York the other day, before Mr. W. 11. Willis and Dr. Elliott. Commissioners in Lunacy, and a Sheriff's jury, to determine the mental condition of George M. Storrs, son of the late Emory A. Storrs, of Chicago. Old testimony was repeated, and the jury brought in a verdict declaring Storrs to be insane. Chief Labor Inspector Muliiot.LAN», of New York, sent to the District Attorney the affidavit of an Italian named Garibaldi, who called at the barge office after being a prisoner in the i phosphate beds of South Carolina for nearly two years. During that time he and a number of companions were illtreated. and one of their number shot dead while trying to escape from the place. Celestine di Marco, of East Ono Hundred and Thirteenth street, New York, is alleged to be mainly responsible for the for the cruelty and killing of the mon. The great shoe strike at Rochester, N. Y., has been declared off. The men have agreed the rules of the Manufacturers’ Association, and also agree to give up their membership in the Boot and Shoe Workers' International I nion unless the Cox strike be declared off by that organization. All shops will be running with a lull force in a few days. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. For some time past a gang of professional thieves have been operating throughout Ohio, making their headquarters at Lima. The police succeeded in locating them there, and raided their

place and arrested four men and one woman and captured several thousand dollars' worth of spoils, which have been identified as that stolen from Springfield, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and other towns. About 2 o’clock the other morning the night v .itchman at the Murray Elevator at Clark, S. D., discovered Frank Russell, Frederick' Bradley, and Wilson Diehl filling sacks with wheat from a hole cut in the elevator wall with an ax. All the men are under arrest. They stole the wheat to prevent their families from starving. Justice Hamburgher lias bound S. ‘ A. Kean, the Chicago banker who failed | a few months ago, over to the Criminal Court in the sum of $3,000. Bail was furnished by W. I*. Fennell, the defendant’s lawyer, and Joseph 11. Kean, brother of the accused. The charge is embezzlement in that he received deposits after he knew himself to be in- : solvent, a slgnment within thirty days | being considered by the law as prima- : facie evidence. The only witness ex- ) amined was W. AV. Royer, the complain- i ing witness, who the day of the failure put in S6OO, taking a certificate from Cashier Warne Advices from Moscow. Idaho, state the Nez Percos Indians are engaging in j ghost dances on their reservation near j there. Tlie settlers are greatly alarmed. । Serious trouble is threatened among i the miners at the Ruby Mine, at Casey- ; ville. 111., owned and operated by the ! Consumers' Coal Company, of St Louis. I Jan. 1 the company reduced tlie price of : mining coal from 42 cents a box to 25 cents. Tlie men refused to accept the cut and a lockout resulted. The company, however, has succeeded in obtaining other miners. The old employes threaten personal violence to the new I Al. 4.1. «

men and the company has called on the Sheriff of St. Clair County for aid in protecting its property. The annual meeting of the Illinois Dairymen’s Association convened at Ashley laet week. “Milk Production” was the subject of a paper presented by Mr. Lespenasse. John G. Sawver. of Ravenswood. read a paper on “Care of the Dairy Cow. ” W. B. Lloyd, of Chicago, made an address on “Dairying on a Little Farm.” “The Dairy at the World's Fair.” by H. Mourad, of Winnetka, brought forth a big discussion. A dispatch from Pine Ridge Agency, S. D.. says: Firing has begun to the north of the agency. The Indians that have broken away from the main band are trying their best to spread terror among the friendlies here. At Capt. Dougherty’s quarters, just north of the agency, within 2,000 yards of headquarters, pickets have been exchanging shots since early dawn. The reds are burning buildings near the agency. From the outer line of pickets burning cabins, both to the right and to the left, could be seen all day, and shots were heard in tlie direction of the burning buildings. The pickets have been doubled in number. It is evident that the frenzied element of the young bucks is bent on breaking loose and doing what harm they can to settlers before

the main band has a chance to reach the agency. About thirty Indians reached here this morning. The bucks were disarmed lust, beyond Dougherty's and <'ampbell's camp. One fellow concealed his gun beneath his blanket and got in. lie was disarmed by an Indian scout before he could fire the shot intended to rouse, the friendlies. Os the thirty who came in a part were Brules. They have, been separated from the Ogallalas, but it is hard to tell now which branch of the Sioux is most vicious. The main body of reds lias moved one mile. They are camped once more and a present of a wagon-load of tobacco under a policy of peace will probably keep piem there until it is used up. 1 n the meantime the young bucks are going on raids and burning every house that they come across. Rumohs of a startling move to be made in connection with the recent Senatorial election in Idaho are heard. Section 6,143, Idaho Revised Statutes, declares it a felony for a member of the Legislature to vote or promise support , upon any question or matter in return for the support of another member on any question or matter upon which they may be called to pass officially. It is said warrants will be sworn out under . this section for the arrest of several members of the Legislature who were connected with the alleged Shoup--1 Dubois-McConnell combine, charging them with felonious conspiracy against 1 the legislative power Advices from Solomville, Arizona, state that Modoc Wind and two other , Apache Indians were held to answer by f United States Commissioner Blake on a 1 charge of forging Capt Bullis’ name to 1 a Government check for $125. The . forgery was so well executed it was not

detected until presented to the Ass stant United States Treasurer'at San brancisco. .1. W. Harmon was stopped near Ama, Ohio, the other evening by highway men, who demanded his money. Wh< n ho resisted he was shot in tlie leg. A .<1 the money he had, $75, was taken, wh pn he was permitted to proceed with his I |eam. While Captain George, chief o f a tribe of Indians near Vancouver, q, was returning home in a canoe wit an _ other Indian and a squaw, the two jj mon quarreled. One of the men cut the tom of t .e canoe out with an ax. aUli^ a i| three were drowned. The Indians £ Werc intoxicated. 75 — =: SK SOUTEERN INCIDENTS.# Commander Smith, of the ^ ar Sdand Oyster Bay, has announced that hi', w jy resign his position.

I POLITICAL PORRIDGE. I The deadlock in the Minnesota How 8 *' of Representatives lias been broken yK the election of E. 'l'. Champlin (Alllan^P) Speaker. The Democrats withdrew candidate. Mr. Stivers, and voted soTT^h for Mr. Champlin, the vote standiiyU Champlin 72, Searle 41.

An Edmonton (Manitoba) bullet! 1 gives an account of finding the skeleto 1 of an Indian boy 8 years of age. wh ’ last June went with his father, name * Blue Horn, on a hunting expedition t * Beaver Hills, near Fort Laskatchemai ;• The SKeleton was in a standing positioi p with arms and wrists tied to two tree; ’• i From the circumstances surrounding th e , affair it is supposed tlie child, who on e day was sent to the camp by the fatht , r and never reached there, had been o ' sered up as a sacrifice to secure goc . luck in hunting by some Indians in tl 0 j locality. It is stated that King Charles 1., < Hohenzollern. the present ruler of R 01 l * mania, has decided to abdicate within a • short time in favor of 1 is nephew. Print l6 Ferdinand, known as tlie Prince of Rm l ' i mania, tlie second son of tlie elder brotl '* er of Charles I. The reported death in France a sho 'I time since of Annie Oakley, the crack shot, is denied in a letter from Frank Butler, her husband, to Dr. Fort Os Baltimore. He writes that while hurF' ing on an English preserve they read the lady’s death in the French papeiFi After tiie shooting season closes in Er’ I gland they will return to America. • The steamer Britannia from Lei(^^ came into Boar from Grangemonth in the Firth K ' Forth. Scotland. The Bear sank imuM diately. the crew having no limo V launch a boat or make any effort wh pever to save themselves, of the four- * teen men on board the Bear twelve we»t down with the vessel. Two others we|e rescued by a boat from the Britannia. It is now the seventh week of the prevj alenee of frost throughout the United ' Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, i with no signs of abatement of the severi ity of the weather. From John O’Groat’s House to Land’s End the country is wrapped in snow, and canals and streets arc frozen fast. For duration of the ' frost period this is the greatest winter of l the century, and in point of severity the । winters of 1813 and 1814 alone ck- I 1 ceeded it. Fairs were then held qn I the Thames. Severn and Tyne, and ' Tweed. Booths were raised on the ice and all the usual fair frolics were held thereon. Numerous deaths have resulted from the extreme cold, several of i them at the very gates of workhouses । where groups of poor people were wait- । ing for shelter. Midland newspapersde--1 l dare that thousands of persons in that , region are in a condition of semi-starva- ' lion, many laborers being compulsorily J I idle,' without fires or food. Mayors i of cities, with the aid of local boards, ' I are directing an organized distribution ' ■ of bread and coal and are starting relief ' ! kitchens, still they fail to reach a host i of cases of distress. Numerous in- > ■ stances occur of coroner's inquests on j >ithc bodies of poop e found dead in t ' bed, where tlie verdict is that deatli re- j

suited from cold and hunger. In every country on the continent there is suffering because of tlie severe, weather. The coasts of Belgium, Holland, and North Germany are blocked with ice. In the Sheldt Rivermavigation is ata standstill on account of the ice. At the North German port of Cuxhaven twenty-nine ships are ice-bound. Pilots are unable to communicate with vessels on account of the ice-floes making the harbor inaccessible. FRESH AND NEWSY. Mn. Sears, of Midrose, Mass., is a man whose greatest ambition is to possess the best St. Bernard dog in the world. After repeated offers he lias at length persuaded the owner of the acknowledged champion in England to dispose of him. For two years Sir Bedivere, as this paragon of tlie canine race is dubbed, has hold undisputed sway among the celebrities of Groat Britain, and so renowned did he become that an English enthusiast tendered his owner $7,500 in cash. It is thought Mr. Sears paid SIO,OOO for him. Comment is aroused among navy officers over the series of orders emanating from the Navy Department within the last few weeks, directing the commissioning of war-ships at San Francisco and the ordering of various other cruisers to Pacific' waters. Under the i>~ ; 8ent orders no less than eleven w.- 1 'Skips and five revenue cutter" "’HI soon be in commission ' ‘ the P icific anil ready .fm - uuty. If in addi^.iiToreit chartering ami arming of seven steaiqers for revenue-cut-■■■■■■■■■■■Mlkg Sea proves correct, ^e^nny I ’’J^Stes naval force will numthbjHiMKMliree ships, against the five J hlTtish gunboats and one armored vessel protecting British interests in tlie North Pacific. It is now asserted that the Yantic will be sent from New York to the Pacific. This will increase the above force by stiff another vessel. In view of the present Behring Sea controversy and the rumored chartering of seven steamers for revenue-cutter duty, tlie above disposition is deemed ominous. As the fishing season does not begin earlier than May the concentration of tlie twelve war-ships can be effected befor i the revenue cutters are ready to proceed to tlie Behring Sea. It is believed the whole United States force in the Pacific will then concentrate off Port Townsend. Concerning tin- Omaha, it is thought, even if this vessel is subjected to repairs in San Francisco, she can bo got ready to join the Pacific fleet in tlie spring. The Sioux City and Northwestern Railroad Company has been buying right of way for a line extending about thirty miles east of Sioux City. It is learned that the Une is to be built for the purpose of giving access to several roads to Sioux City. The Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific and the Winona and Southeastern are two of tlie roads that have made arrangements for coming in

The census bulletin, just issued, on church statistics puts the Salvation Army down as one of tin* religious “denominations.” just like the Methodists, Baptists, and Presbyterians. For a eoni| -atively new denomination the Salvation Army makes a good showing. It has 32U regular congregations, with churches or halls for worship, though the number of members is placed at only 9,000. The “army” does not seem to care much for material investments, as »>' otal value of its property in the I whple country is placed at *37,000. R. G. Dvn A Co. G weekly review of trade says: The year opens with the expected Improvement in the money markets and in collections resulting fr< m annual disbursements which have been larger than usual. The hopeful feeling in most branches of trade continues also, and the railroad outlook Is improved. It is becoming clearer every day that the one great obstacle to । prosperity is the fear that debasement of the dollar may produce violent contraction, withdrawal of foreign Investments, collapse । of credits, and a disaster which will be felt by । every branch of trade and industry. The iron attd steel manufacture has been so rapidly extended that shrinkage of credits has forced sales in many cases at prices below cost. On the whole the prospect is considerably less bright titan it has been for many ' years in this industry. Reports of trade 1 from different cities are still much influ- : enced by reviews of last year's great busi- i ne-s. but generally indicate a large volume of traffic in progress for the season, with i .marked improvement since the monetary i pressure abated. Boston notes larger sales of i boots and shoe and of leather, and stronger : hides, firmer wool, and quiet, lumber. At i Philadelphia the leather and shoe trades i are dull, wool is in little demand, some un- j i easiness is seen regarding obligations in i tobacco, but better collections in paints. At i Chicago receipts of grain equal last year’s; increase is seen in butter and cheese, hides i and wool, but decrease in dressed beef, curedyaeats, and lard: dry goods and cloth- । ing sales exceed last year's, with excellent । payments, and the shoe trade increases. । MARKET REPORTS. — CHICAGO.

TIIE SENATE AND HOUSE. WORK OF OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. Proceeding* of the Senate and House of Representatives — Important. Measures Discussed and Acted Upon—Gist of the Business. The financial bill was taken up in the Senate on the 7th. and Mr. Daniel spoke in favor of the absolute free and unlipiited coinage of silver. Mr. Plumb followed Mr. Daniel. He credited the silver act of last session with having had the effect of preventing a universal financial panic. It had facilitated the purchase of $100,000,<100 of American securities that had been sent back from Europe, and thus the Bank of England and the other financial institutions of Europe had been able to tide over the difficulties of the Barings, arising out of South American financial trouble. Whatever might be said about the silver bill of last session, and about its shortcomings, Its effect on the immediate situation had been of a most bene- ' tidal character. The House went into committee of the whole for the further consid- • eration of the shipping bill. Mr. Dingley , of Maine, reviewing the decadence of Amer- ' lean shipping interests, said that in such * a condition as the country now found itself, with only P<M' cent, of the foreign car- > ryinn - ‘fade, with Great Britain intrench- . on every ocean route, it was obvious that it was utterly out of the power of private individuals, without assistance in some direction, to dislodge the shipping of Great Britain. Within live years from the establishment of a subsidy system the steam ton- ■ nage of France was doubled. With the widest extent of coast known to any nation the United States could reap a benefit from subsidies far greater than any other nation. Italy adopted a subsidy policy in ! 1885, and in four years its steam marine had increased 4(1 per cent. The maximum expense of tlie bill the first year would be 82.000,000. of which all but about $300,000 or 1 8400,000 would come from postage and ton- ' nage dues. Mk. McConnell introduced bills in the Senate, on the Bth Inst., for the erection of public buildings at Lewiston and Boise City. Idaho. Referred. On motion of Mr. Edmonds a resolution was adopted calling upon the See retary of the Treasury for information as to what books and documents are in possession of ids department relating to the late so-called Confederate States and as to whether there is any legal objection to their being placed among the archives of tlie War Department. Mr. Platt gave notice that he would at the earliest possible moment call up the copyright bill for consideration. Mr. Allison gave notice that if the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture (who was necessarily absent) did not at an early day ask for the consideration of the Conger lard bill he (Mr. Allison) would himself do so. In the Bouse a bill was passed authorizing the issuance of certificates of service to telegraph operators who were with the Union army during tlie war. Then Mr. Farquhar, I of New 5 ork, moved to go into committee of tlie whole on the shipping bill, and sug- , gested that some arrangement, should be [ arrived at as to th < conclusion of general debate, hailing to secure any agreement Mr Farquhar moved that general debate close at a o clock. After wrangling over this point for two hours the House ad-

journo I. In the Senate on the 9th Mr. Plumb gave notice of an amendment to the finance bill limiting to §I,OOO the compulsory requirement of deposit of United States bonds for ev ry national bank. [This not to apply to the deposit of bonds to secure public moneys in the national banks.] The bill was. on motion of Mr. Wilson, of lowa, laid aside Informally and the House bill to provide for an additional Associate .lustice of the Supreme Court of Arizona was taken from the calendar and passed, with an amemlment. Conference reports on bills for public buildings at Youngstown. Ohio, and Fort Dodge. lowa, were presented and agreed to. Mr. Dolph moved to take up another bill, but Mr. Edmunds insisted on the regular order, and remarked that it was due to those who wanted tot discuss the finance bill that they should have the opportunity to do so. The finance bill was therefore taken up again, :md Mr. Blackburn addressed the Senate in advocacy of Mr. Stewart's amendment for the free coinage of silver. Mr. Harvey of Oklahoma called up in the House the bill authorizing Oklahoma City to issue b inds to provide a right of way to the Chocta w Coal find Railroad Company through Ihe city. The bill was passed. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Allen of Michigan in the chair) on the private calendar. The Vice President laid before the Senate on the 10th Inst, the protest of twentyeight members of the Idaho Legislature against allowing Mr. Dubois to take his seat, and it was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections: also resolutions of the Grand Army of the Republic recommending certain legislation iti regard to civil employments for honorably discharged soldiers and tendering thanks for the liberal pension laws, etc.; referred to the Pension Committee. In the House after Mr. Butterworth of Ohio, from the Committee on Appropriations, had reported the legislative appropriation bill, and it had been placed on the calendar the House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Dingley of Maine in the chair, on the army appropriation bill. Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan. Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, explained that the bill was purely an appropriation measure and contained no general legislation whatever. The amount carried was $400,000 more than the appropriation for the current year. For Personal and Home Adornment Jeweled fringes are used to ornament sashes. The collection of spoons is a recognized taste of the day. Orchid jewelry is causing the light of the moonstone to wane. Cut-glass tablewarc is bccomiiffg a prominent rival to silverware. Nobody thinks of buying anything but a brass or an iron bedstead nowadays. New saltcellars, whether of silver or crystal, assume the most original sha pcs. Table silver to be fashionable must be modeled after the designs of the middle ages. Ponjoke screens are quite new and less expensive than those of silk embroidery. Salad-bowls of Imari with plates to match are in vogue, particularly for luncheon parties. Among jewels there in a new stone to wfiich the French have given the name of “Rier re Tonkinoise. ” Custard-glasses are entirely out of date. Semi-liquid desserts are served in tea or coffee cups and saucers. Portiere seems a difficult word for some people to pronounce. Give the last three letters the sound of heir.
