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. ‘ —'——-—-— t. 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 within an hour. The paragraph was amended to omit ' nesburg. Such a statement, Mr. Cham-" l J. 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.
