BLAMES CATTLE MEN.

INDIAN TROUBLES A PLOT TO i STEAL LAND. i Deliberate and Systematic Attempt IJelug Made to l'ruvoko tho Indians to an I' prising Troops Present in Sufliciont Force to Kevn the Peace. J. A. Southern, of Wardner, Idaho, who is in Kansas City, Mo., speaking of the reports from Jackson's Hole, pronounces them false, and charges that reckless correspondents are responsible for them. 'The truth of the matter is," he said, "that the cattle barons with ranges in Wyoming and Idaho are determined to secure the Bannock reservation for pasturage for their cattle. With this object in view they have systematically and deliberately provoked the Indians for the past three years. If they can cause an uprising they will strive to secure the Indians' removal to another district. Perhaps some settlers have been killed, but you will eventually learn that not one murder was done by the Lemhi or Bannock Indians. "It is a notorious fact among the people of Idaho and Wyoming that the cattle barons of the Teton valley country have caused all the trouble in that section. Their robberies are not entirely confined to stealing land and cattle from Indians. It is invariably the case that when a white man settles in that country under the homestead law, in a few months the news will be sent out that he is a 'rustler,' or cattle thief. The final outcome will be that his neighbors, all in the employ of the large cattle owners, will ride up and fill him full of lead. His claim is again open forjj settlement, ana his small nera or cattle is lost among the countless herds of S MAP SHOWING WHERE THE cattle of the barons. You may think this is a wild story, but it is the history of hundreds of murdered settlers. "My brother, Clarence L. Southern, was one of the recent victitms. He was killed six weeks ago near Smith's Fork, about twenty-five miles from Fort Bridger. I am now on my way to Crary's Mills,, N. Y., to break the news to our mother." SKTTLKItS, NOT INDIANS. Students Give a Different Version of the Troubles In Wyoming. Baltimore, Md July 29. John A. Garrett of this city, E. R. Othernan of New York, and L. P. Pease of Germantown, Pa., members of the Princeton college geological expedition, that was thought to have been annihilated by the Indians, arrievd here last evening. Mr. Garrett said: "We left Dubois, Wyo., just two weeks ago for Yellow lake. We crossed a recently traveled Indian trail, evidently made by the band of Lemhis who had gone to join the Bannocks. Later we came across a small party of Shoshones and camped with them one night. They seemed to be in bad humor, but did not tell us that they were ; on the war-path.. We passed within sight of Jackson s Hole. From wnat wo heard, the Indians had more cause to be afraid of the settlers than the latter had to be afraid of the Indians. The impression prevailed that the white people were very anxious to fight the redskins." Settlers Not Molested. Market Lake, Idaho, July 29. Advices received from the troops are to the effect that the Indians are pouring Into Jackson's Hole from all directions, though they have not molested settlers. They are located In the wildest part of the valley in a position from which all the troops In this department could not drive them if they choose to remain. The troops are camped twenty-five miles east of Rexburg. Vigilance Committee in Denver, Denver, (Solo., July 29. The citizens of South Denver have organized u vigilance commmittee. Its object Is to prevent the Denver Union Water Company from shutting the water off from their premises for non-payment of their bills before rates are adjusted in accordance with the contract with the city.

The order came by telegraph from St. Anthony, and as that is the entrance to the Big Hole country it is evident that the settlers there are expecting Indian trouble's. After Twenty-five Years. Suffolk. Va., July 27. William J. Urquhart, accused of murdering John E. Gray. Nov. 8. 1S70. has voluntarily surrendered himself. He admits the killing, but claims self-defense. The accused is 57 years of age

THE TRADE REVIEW.

Ifcport Demand for Wheat Is Dull Iron and Steel on the Rise. New York, July 29. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "This Is not the season for the tide of business to rise, but there is perceived scarcely any shrinkage except that which comes naturally with midsummer heat. Tho volume of new business is small compared with recent months, but large enough to encourage more openings of long-closed works and more advances in returns to labor. Important strikes show that the advance is not enough for some, but the strikes seem not more threatening than a week ago. "Accounts of shrinkage in the yield of wheat come both from Pacific states and from the Dakotas. It would be a strange and unnatural July without such reports, and yet they have weight enough this year to lead even the most experienced to reduce somewhat their estimate of yield, while the price has advanced 3ft cents. Light Western receipts for the week not a third of last year's, and for four weks only 5,366,063 bushels, against 11,983.619 bushels last year strengthen adverse reports, because the price a year ago was about 20 cents lower than it is now. The Western movement largely depends on the export demand, which is phenomenally light. Corn advanced about a cent with wheat, but has since lost all the gain. Cotton has remained unchanged at 7 cents, although the latest reports favor larger estimates of the yield. "Prices of iron and steel products still rise, the feature this week being the startling advance of 50 cents per keg in cut and wire nails. There is a distinct, halting in new demand, though nearly all iron and steel works are crowded with orders for some time to come. Prospects that other furnaces, with z capacity of 8,000 tons weekly In the east and as much in the south, will go - - - - .V r i r-. . -iuw I H UPRISING IS IN PROGRESS, into blast within the remaining months of 1S95 hinder a further rise in pig. Copper has again advanced, lake to 11 cents, contracts having been made this month for 20,000,000 pounds, and lead is also strong. "Textiles have a better outlook, with larger demand both for cotton and wooien goods, a shade advance in print cloths and in most bleached goods, and a more hopeful market for lightweight woolens, which, if scarcely advanced beyond last year's prices, are, on the whole, selling better. Enormous sales of wool, 44,778,864 pounds in four weeks, against 29,220,250 pounds in 1S92, far exceed actual consumption, but reflect the belief that the prices will not decline, and the few changes this week have been upward. Scarcity of domestic wool in eastern markets is in part due to heavy speculative withdrawals. "Failures for the week were 202 in the United States, against 249 last year, and twenty-seven in Canada, against thirty-nine last year." FORTY PERSONS POISONED. Many Residents of Thompson, Iowa, Arc Prostrated. Clinton, Iowa, July 29. Forty people were poisoned by eating pressed beef Saturday at the village of Thompson, eight miles north of here. At George Griswold's farm house, twenty-two threshers sat down to supper and ate heartily of the meat. In less than an hour all were stricken with terrible pains, and although no deaths have yet resulted, many are in a precarious condition. Several families also bought and ate the meat, and they were all similarly affected. One young woman was seized by the pain and was found in the night, wandering around. The screams of the victims could be heard for half a mile, and the excitement is Intense. The meat was prepared by a local butcher. America Wants It in 1808. London, July 29. A strong effort is being made by the American delegates to induce the geographical congress now in session to select Washington as the next place of meeting, in 1898, and copies of a strongly worded invitation from the National Geographical Society of the United States, indorsed by the Catholic University, the Smithsonian Institution, the Johns Hopkins University and kindred institutions is being distributed among the delegates. Stories of Torture Untrue. Rome, July 29. In the chamber of deputies, Baron Blanc, minister of foreign affairs, announced that the reports from Santiago that the police had tortured Italian subjects were untrue. The chamber has adopted the commercial treaty between Italy and Japan. Much Damage In Indiana. Tipton, Ind., July 29. A heavy storm swept over this county this morning, doing much damage to corn crops and fruits. Houses were unroofed, trees uprooted and fences torn down.

FOR SILVER OR GOLD?

CHAMPIONS OF BOTH METALS IN DEBATE. Ex-Congressman Horr and W. H. Harvey Defend their Itcspcetive Position as to the Nceeessity for the Coinage of Silver. Tuesday, July 23. The money debate at the Illinois club yesterday afternoon brought Mr. Harvey to his feet declaring: "It is a most interesting option to be able to pay in either of two metals, and when a debtor has that option th two metals, with unlimited coinage, wlh oscillate at a substantial parity. A corner on beef cannot threaten the health of the nation as long as mutton and pork are in competition; and so with the two money metals. If we used the 209,000,000 silver dollars in the treasury there would be no borrowing of gold. The balance wheel of a watch is made of two metals, and when one expands the other contracts, and so an equilibrium is preserved. So with the metals in money. All nature is bimetallic; or have we only a single eye and ear?" In distinction to "real" or "primary" he defined "credit" or "representative" money. "In that class now," ho said, "is silver, paper, nickel and copper currency All represent service In the exchange of commodities, but the silver money, once 'redemption money, is now only 'token' money, and has no part in swelling the volume of 'primary' money. Therefore prices were based on the volume of gold money in existence, which, being only a small fraction of the entire currency, gives the country prices below the cost o production in human labor." Mr. Horr. following, admitted that he had always hoped that the business men of all civilized nations would agree on some business plan whereby they could use both metals as the money o" redemption. "But for this country alone to try to do It would Involve its financial ruin." Mr. Horr, in impassioned rhetoric, described all civilization as on the gold I basis. Were we to train only with China, Mexico and Tripoli? ! "So was slavery once in all nations," ! said Mr. Harvey. A country should never borrow money from another nation. To do so was a sure sign of monetary weakness in itself. Thursday, .Tuly 36. The seventh session of the Horr-Har-vey debate opened this afternoon at the Illinois club promptly at 1 o'clock and both disputants seemed the better after day's rest. Interest was given to the discussion at an early stage by Mr. Harvey calling attention to his opponent's omissions in the matter of failing to produce the books from which he cited. This was to a certain degree an attack on the bona fides ot the authorities quoted by Mr. Horr. Mr. Harvey also Intimated that a fuller examination of the authorities would guard against mistake, and might in some cases change the bearing of the citations. Mr. Horr concluded that the omission was simply a matter of expediency. He simply wished to avoid the trouble of handing in every document relied on as if he were pleading a court of law. After this slight passage the debate was continued without any noticeable jar. Both champions seemed to aim at more exactions in their quotations, and this, while no doubt increasing the value of the discussion, added in no small degree to its prolixity. Ratios, values, cost and prices were to be found In every sentence, and the man who could carry away anything like an intelligible idea of what he had heard would be fully qualified for the position of civil-service examiner. Saturday July 27. Long tables and an imposing array of figures formed conspicuous features in to-day's session of the Horr-Harvey debate. Both champions, after their day's intermission, appeared in firstclass order when the eighth day's discussion was declared open Saturday afternoon at the Illinois club. Figures were employed to prove or disprove everything that could find a place in the literature of the currency question. Tables of wages and prices were quoted by the foot, only to be hidden by statistics produced by the cubic yard. There wore tables telling the numbers of criminals and lunatics in the United States, the number of suicides, the prices of wheat at different periods, the number of business failures, and the purchasing power of the different kinds of money. There was little that was novel in the manner of treating the questions at Issue. Many of the old arguments were trotted out to be assailed or defended. Mr. Harvey found it necessary to support the Sauerbeck compilation of prices and values, and he did it in a perfect manner. Mr. Horr took his customary fling at "Coin," and Mr. Harvey's defense of his progeny was about the most interesting part of the discussion. INTO A RACING SEA. Japanese Troop Train Plunges Over the Sea Wall. Yokohama. July 29. A train bearing 400 Japanese soldiers who landed at Hiroshima on their return from the war, while en route to Kobe, ran off the rails where the line is constructed along a sea wall. Plunging over the wall, the first section of the train was thrown into the sea. It consisted of twenty-three cars and two engines, one in front and one in the rear. A gale prevailed at the time and immense waves washed over the railroad track. When the train reached the most exposed part on the morning of the accident it was very dark. A succession of heavy waves struck the train and cut it in two. The first engine with eleven cars fell into the sea. It is estimated that the killed numbered fourteen. Suspected Murderer I.ynehed. Meridan, Miss., July 29. Charlie Burwell, colored, about 65 years of age, was lynched near here last night.
