flis Cheyennes Ready For Trouble
With the Settlers.

A BAD GARLISLE GRAD UATE.

mtle Whirlwind, the Hurdener of a. Sheep
.Herder, the Cause of ,All the
Trouble—Sioux Asked .to
Join In the Fray.

Helena, Mon., June 2.—Rep.orts of the
killing of several soldiers by the Chey-
enne Indians at Lame Deer Agency are
not verified by later accounts of the
trouble. It is not believed that .any one
was killed except a sheep herder named
Hoover, whose murder some time ago
caused the excitement. Settlers and
cowboys determined to avenge his
death and give the Cheyennes an object
lesson to deter them from similar acts
in the future. They sent all the women
and children to places of safety, armed
themselves and congregated near the
agency and demanded the surrender of
the Indians accused of murdering Hoo-

ver. .
The Indians armed themselves and
made threatening demonstrations

against the whites, but no battle has
been fought nor massacres begun so
far as is known. Six companies of
United States troops are, however, at
the agency. The Indians declare that
they do not want to fight the soldiers,
but are anxious to have a brush with
the white settlers and cowboys.

Lame Deer is 60 miles from a tele—
,graph office, and it is hard to get de-
tails, but the trouble is due'to the
charges of settlers that Indians kill
and steal their cattle and counter-
,charges of Indians that the settlers
continually intrude on the reservation.

A Carlisle Graduate at Fault.

It is reported that Sioux Indians from
Dakota have come to the agency and
that runners have been sent to invite
more Sioux to join them on the war-
path. Senator Carter will ask Presi—
dent McKinley that Indian Agent
Stcuch be instructed not to interfere
with the sheriff’s posse, and that the
military authorities, support them in
case the Cheyennes resist the arrest of
the Indian Little Whirlwind, knowu a1-
so as Stanley, a graduate of Carlisle,
who admits the murder of the sheep
herder, Hoover. White Bull’s band of
warriors, numbering 125, who escaped
from the agency Friday night, are in
the hills on the Tongue river, near Ash-
land, and this will be the scene of the
first bloodshed, should there be any.
The settlers are not as well armed as
the Indians, though arms and ammuni-
tion are being forwarded as rapidly as

’ possible.

Intense Excitement Prevails.

Washington, June 2.——The official re-
port of the trouble among the Cheyenne
Indians in Montana, dated May 25, has
reached the Indian bureau from Cap-
tain Stouch. in charge of the Tongue
River Agency. It confirms the dis-
patches attributing the trouble to the
murder of a sheep herder and indicates
that the motive of the murder was to
prevent the herder from giving testi-
mony as to an illegal slaughter of beef
which he had witnessed. The agent re-
ports that intense excitement exists
among the settlers and that there is a
liability of further trouble. He says
there are a great many bloodthirsty
young men among these Indians, and
that if the settlers and the young In-
dian men should meet trouble would be
the result. For the peace and safety of
all concerned he advises the stationing
431:. two troops of cavalry in the neigh-
borhoad.

The murder undoubtedly was com-
mitted by Indians, and it has exasper-
ated the settlers throughout the coun—
try, and they are crying for justice and
retribution. The man was an inoffen-
sive hunchback, and has been an object
of sport for the Indians. The carcass
of the slaughtered beef was discovered
near his body.

The interior department will make a
formal request to the war department
to station cavalry at the camp and the
agent will be instructed to use every
effort to secure the punishment of the
perpetrators of the crime.

County Attorney T. J. Porter wired

‘ Senator Carter from Miles City that

Agent Stouch ought to ‘be suspended
immediately for resisting state officers
serving process in driving off the sheriff
from the agency. He claimed the situ-
ation was serious and that bloodshed
would result. If the agent is instructed
not to resist the sheriff's posse, he add-
ed, confiict will be avoided, though the
county attorney regarded an outbreak
as certainly imminent.

A Shooting Near the Vatican.

Rome, June 2.——A sensation was caused
in Vatican circles by an attempt at
murder, followed by an attempt to com-
mit suicide; A stable hand named Ros-
si, who had been dismissed from the
Vatican employ for misconduct by
Commander Martinucci, director of the

major domo’s ofi‘ice, shot and wounded

the commander in the left arm. Be-
lieving he had killed his supposed ene-
my, Rossi shot himself in the head, in—

flicting a wound from which he may

not recover.

_ Shot by Italians.

Millville, N. J., June 2.——At New-
port Falice Carfagna, Giuseppe Tra—
mati and Angelo Disimore, three
Italian berry pickers, boarded a
boat to go fishing, and when or-
dered off by the owners, GeorgerKates
and Alfred Bradford, the Italians pull-
ed revolvers and riddled the men with
bullets. Kates was shot through the
lungs and is slowly bleeding to death.
Bradford will die. The Italians were
arrested.

Vanderlip Sworn In.

Washington, June 2.—Mr. Frank A.
Vanderlip of Illinois took the prescrib-
ed ofiicial oath as assistant secretary
of the treasury in the presence of Sec-
retary Gage and a number, (5‘ other
prominent officials of the treasury de-
partment. Assistant Secretary Van-
derlip at once entered upon his new
duties.

Legalizing the Chicago Gas Trust.

Springfield, 1115., June 2.—-The senate
bill authorizing the consolidation of the
companies forming the Chicago Gas
trust has passed the house. Much
pressure to obtain a veto will undoubt-
edly be brought to bear on Governor
Tanner.

 

 

WEEKLY- Nriew'A‘lm - GAZETTE. .

l Dmlrnoolrr WITH HAWAII.

 

I Senator ,Buvis introduces an Important
Amendment ito the Tariff Bill.

Washington, June 2.—Senator Davis
has introduced a proposed amendment
to the tariff bill providing that nothing
in the act shall be held to repeal or im-
pair the provisions of the reciprocity
treaty with Hawaii. Senator Davis
says that the treaty .contains a solemn
declaration that it should not be abro-
gated except .upon one year’s notice.
The bill as it came from the house con-
tained a provision substantially the
same as the amendment of Senator Da-
vis, but it was stricken out by the
finance committee. The :senator from
South Carolina, John L. McLaurin, who
succeeds the late Senator Earle, was
sworn in at the opening .of the session.
This establishes the personnel of the
senate as it will remain for some time—-
viz: Republicans, 43; Democrats, 34;
Populists, 7: silver Republicans, 5; va-
cancy, 1 (Oregon); total, 90.

The tariff bill was taken up imme-
diately after the disposal of the routine
business. Mr. Aldrich, in charge of the
bill, returned to paragraph, 90, relating
to china, porcelain, etc., and withdrew
the proposed committee amendments,
leaving the rates as reported by the
house—viz: Decorated, 60 per cent ad
valorem; undecorated, 55 per cent.

Mr. Jones of Arkansas moved to re-
duce these rates to 35 and 30 per cent
respectively. Without debate a vote
was taken, and the proposed amend-
ments were defeated—yeas, 23; nays,.34.

clock cases, and was then agreed to.

Before leaving the paragraph Mr. Vest
(M0.,) stated briefly that the effect of
the rates was to be absolutely prohibi-
tory on the grades of china and crock-
ery in ordinary household use.

The committee amendments were
withdrawn also on the paragraphs cov-
ering “all other china not specifically
provided for,” leaving the house rates at
60 for decorated and 55 for undecorated.

Mr. Jones again offered an amend—
ment' similar to his former one. He
supported it in -a speech, stating that
at the rates of the present law the pro-
ducers claimed to doing a prosperous
business.

Mr. Sewell (Rep., N. J.,) answered,
reading a statement showing that many
potteries had failed and a large num-
ber of pottery workers were out of work
as a result of the present low rates.

The Jones amendment was defeated
—yeas, 21; nays, 32.

The committee offered a substitute,
which was agreed to, on the paragraph
covering tiles, glazed or unglazed. It
is practically the same as the house
paragraph.

When the house met after a recess
in continuation of Monday’s session, Mr.
Lewis (\Vash.) inquired of the speaker
if he could temporarily withdraw his
demand for the yeas and nays and read
from the record of the Fifty—third con-
gress to inform the house what took
place at that time, which he said would
show the basis of the claim that the res-
olution was a matter of privilege. The
speaker replied that he could ”not and
directed the clerk to proceed with the
call of the roll. This was the order of
business on Thursday last when the
house adjourned, the vote then taken
having shown the lack of a quorum.

The speaker on Thursday refused to
entertain as a matter of privilege Mr.
Lewis' resolution regarding the right
and duty of the house to act upon the
Morgan resolution recognizing the bel-
ligerency of the Cuban revolutionists,
and Mr. Lewis then appealed from “that
decision.

Mr. Dingley moved to lay the appeal
on the table, and on that motion a vote
was taken.

The vote resulted—yeas, 88; nays, 56;
present and not voting, 37. The appeal
was laid on the table.

Ensign Stone’s Case Dropped.

the conduct of Ensign George L. P.
Stone of the United States monitor Pu-

Brooklyn, June 2,—The inquiry into
ritan, in his love affair with Miss Marie
Conde, has come to an abrupt termina-
tion. The inquiry is indefinitely post-
poned, and it is understood that a truce
has been patched up between Mr. Swits
Conde. the father of the young woman,
and Ensign Stone. It is asserted that
Secretary Long has intimated that too
much attention has been given to the
case and that he wished it to be drop-
ped. It is also said that the ensign will
not be so demOnstrative in the display
of his affection for Miss Conde. En-
sign Stone, however, his friends say,
by no means intends to give up all in-
tentions of winning the hand of Miss
Conde.

"Pushful Joe" Testifies.

London, June 2.—When the inquiry
of the parliamentary committee into
the Transvaal raid was resumed, Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of
state for the colonies, testified that' he
was convinced Dr. Harris had not said
to him that a force of the British char-
tered South Africa’s troops would be
on the border ready to assist the ult-
landers if a. rising occurred at Johan-

berlain added, would have aroused his
attention at once. In answer to La-
bouchere’s question he declared that he
did not know the Jameson raid was to
occur. ‘

Doctors Celebrate Golden Jubilee.

Philadelphia, June 2.—The American
Medical association began the celebra-
tion of its golden jubilee in the Acad-
emy of Music by a convention which
will continue for four days. The con-
vention was called to order by the pres-
ident of the association, Dr. Nicholas
Senn of Illinois, and members and their
wives to the number of over 3,000 were
present. Mayor Warwick welcomed
the association on behalf of the city,
and in the absence of Governor Has-
tings I-Ion. Charles Emory Smith per-
formed a similar duty on behalf of the
state.

A Young Jesse James.

North Tonawanda, 'N. Y., June 2.—
John VVichterman of Shawnee, a ham-
let near this city, is‘ a young fellow of
17 years, who aspires to be a Jesse
James. He shot little Johnny Kline in
the head with a 22 caliber revolver out
of pure wantonness. He then mounted
his father’s horse and galloped away.
Warrants are out for young Wichter-
man. Some time ago he tried to shoot
a man with a rifle, but missed his aim.

Japan’s Loan Popular.
London, June 2.-—The Japanese loan
of 43,000,000 yen, equivalent to about
$21,947,916, at 5 per cent, and payable
in gold, the issue price of which is 1011/2,
was 'subscribed to several times over

8151111113391 GUILTY.

Justice Bradley Orders the Jury to
Acquit Him.

N0 CON TEMPT IN EVIDENCE.

The Justice Declares That, the Secretary
of the Sugar Trust Answered
All the Legal Questions
Asked Him.

Washington, June 2.——Justice Brad-
ley rendered his decision in the case of
John E. Searles, who was accused of
being a recalcitrant witness before the
sugar investigating committee. He or-
dered the jury to find a verdict for the
defendant.’ Mr. Searles and his coun-
sel were present in court, but the fa-
miliar form of Mr. H. O. Havemeyer
was missing, as well as those of the sen-
ators and others who had been present
at the trials during the past week. Jus-
tice Bradley, as soon as he opened court,
took up the motion of Mr. Johnson for
the defense, that the case be taken from
the jury and a verdict returned for the
defense. The arguments were heard on
Friday, so that all that was necessary
was the opinion of the judge.

The Juigis Opinion.

Judge Bradley gave a-revlew of the
case from the beginning of the investi—
gation by the committee. He said that
Mr. Searles had testified very fully be-
fore the committee and had testified
that no funds had been contributed to
the Democratic national campaign fund.
The evidence showed that while con-
tributions had been made to the cam-
paign funds in various cities and states
no contributions had been made to se-
cure or defeat federal legislation. Tak—
ing up the report of the minority of the
senate committee, made to the senate
regarding the alleged contumacy of the
witnesses, Justice Bradley referred to
section 102 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States.

This is the one under which all these
prosecutions are conducted. He said
that the state required all persons to
be prosecuted where they had been sum-

,moned by the senate to testify and had

refused to answer questions pertinent
to the matter under investigation.

It was a question for the court to de-
termine whether the witness had de-
clined to answer a question which was
pertinent to the investigation, and also
whether the matter was within the
power and jurisdiction of the senate.

Questions Not Pertinent.

The senate obviously had the power
to conduct such an inquiry, according
to the supreme court decision in the
Chapman case, and as far as the ques-
tions asked Chapman were concerned,
they were within the scope of the pow-
ers of the senate.

The justice then took up the relations
between the Chapman case and that
against Mr. Searles. -

It was apparent that the questions
put to Mr. Searles were. not pertinent
to that branch of the inquiry regarding
the allegation that senators had voted
for the schedule on account of money
given to the Democratic campaign
fund. He held that the second sub-
division of the resolution for investiga—
tion relating to the contributions made
to the Democratic party was under a
reasonable construction, was within the
power and jurisdiction of the senate.

Continuing, he said that the right of
corporations to make contributions to
campaign funds could not be denied.
He held that a reasonable construc—
tion of the third subdivision of the res-
olution required \that it be considered
in one, “to secure or defeat federal leg-
islation,” being considered part of the
preceding clause regarding the contri—
butions to political parties. "Under this
construction the senate had the right
to conduct such inquiry as was then
being made.

An Unwarranted Search.

Certainly, the judge said, a simple
investigation as to whether the Sugar
trust had contributed to a campaign
fund would be an unwarranted search
into the private affairs of the company
and plainly beyond the power of the
senate. Here he referred at length to
the Kilbourne case. The senate com-
mittee had reported that no testimony
had been produéed to show that the
Sugar trust had made any contributions
to any national campaign fund or “for
the purpose of affecting legislation. If
money had gone for the purpose of
electing members of state legislatures
who in time would select a United
States senator, it was beyond the
power of the United States to go be-
hind the election 0f legislative mem-
bers. If this were true as to state mat-
ters, how much more true was it of
local elections. “How remotely specu-
lative" was the way he characterized
District Attorney Davis’ suggestion
made in his argument that local and
state contributions could have been
traced to their ultimate destination,
possibly into the pockets of United
States senators, if the defendant had
given the names of the persons to whom
the moneys were first paid. It would
be the wildest conjecture to assume
that the money so contributed in any
way had gone to make up the sugar
schedule.

The cases of E. J. Edwards and John
S. Shriver, the newspaper correspond-
ents, were postponed until next Monday.

 

Yellow Fever at New York.

New York, June 2.—-—The Alliance. of
the Panama railroad steamship line has

arrived from Colon and was detained

at quarantine because a second class
passenger died of yellow fever on the
voyage. The Allianca left Colon on
May 25. On the next day Angus Mc-
Lennan, a mining engineer, was taken
ill. He died of yellow fever on May 31.
He was buried at sea in latitude 36.30,
longitude 74.

Bernaral Blames Uncle Sam.

Madrid, Juno 2. —— General Bernaral,
who has just returned to this city from
Cuba, has informed the minister of war,
General Azcarraga, that the prolonging
of the rebellion in Cuba is only due to
the assistance which the insurgents re—
ceive from the United States.

 

Ten Per Cent Cut In Wages.

Pittsburg, June 2.——A 10.per cent cut
in wages, affecting all men not under
the Amalgamated scale, was ordered at
Jones & Laughlin's American Iron
works, and about 200 men refused to go
to work. The firm employs nearly 3,000
men.

WILTON.

Mr. and Mrs. Schlichting of Joe’s
Hill, entertained friends from Darien
and Brooklyn on Memorial Day.

The services at the Congregational
church on Sunday were impressive and
interesting. The church was beauti-
fully decorated with flowers, red, white
and blue predominating.

The cemeteries in town were visited
by numbers on Sunday. Kindly hands
placed flags and flowers upon the graves
of the patriots who fought to gain a na-
tion in 1776, as well as those who fought
to preserve it in 1861. On Sunday,
