Kansas City, M0,, Jan. _13. -Great ex- citement prevails over the meagre re- .. ports from the Indian Territory of the Seminole upiising. Nothing more defi- nite than yesterday morning’s state-. ment, that 150 reds had started on the warpath from Earlsboro; that they were killing all the whites they met, and that the whites were arming and hur- rying. their families out of the country, has been received. Although many stories, which were not borne out by the facts, had pre- viously been circulated from the Terri- tory, so persistent have been the ru- mors that the Seminoles were aveng- ing the burning of two of their num- bC'that further'news is awaited with fear. Cavalry t0 the Scene. Muskogee, I. T., Jan. 13. —0fficial cir- cles here are all astir over the news of the Seminole uprising, and Marshal Bennett, who was to leave for Wash- ington, has postponed the trip, and left yesterday, with Deputy Ledbetter, for the scene of the trouble. A troop of cavalry is now on the way to the Seminole Nation. Marshal Bennett is well liked by the Seminoles, who unanimousy indorsed him in council for marshal of the Northern District of the Indian Terri- tory, and he has had numerous per- sonal telegrams asking him to come at once, on account of his popularity with the minoles. In rmation fiom Oklahoma City is to the effect that 100 armed citizens have started from that place for Earls- boron on a special train to head off the Seminoles and prevent a repetition of the Maud Post Office massacre. ' A PITCHED BATTLE REPORTED. Refugees from Earlsboro Bring Alarm- ?1'.‘ ing News of the Uprising.V Shawnee, O. T., Jan. 13.—Trains on the Choctaw branch of the ’Frisco Railroad have brought to this city ev- ery woman and Child from Earlsboro, some 200 people, near the border of the Seminole Nation. The burning at the stake .of Mch-isey and Simpson, the Seminole half-breeds, has greatly e11- raged the Seminoles, and they have banded together and are riding over the country. A party of, about 200 savages and half-breeds rode into a neighborhood 'eighteen miles southeast of Earlsboro and began shooting through the doors and windows of the house of a new settler. VEvery person in the house is reported to have been killed. The refugees from Earlsboro say that about 10 o’clock Tuesday a pitched bat- tle occurred, and that three families were killed. There is a general upris- mg. Messengers have been sent to the military station demanding immediate aid, and protection. The people at Maud have arranged wagons to take the womenmand country under guard of armed horse- men. When the reports reached Earls- boro the women and children were put on the train and sent into Oklahoma. Agreat many stopped as soon as they V got Well across the Territory line, but most of them came as far west as El Reno. N0 names of the killed could be learned. The train officials say there is serious trouble and some whites have been killed, but the stories are probably ex- aggerated. ' A Reign of Terror. Guthrie, O. T.. Jan. 13.—Deputy mar- shals arriving here from Maud report a reign of terror in that section. A dozen families are reported to have left their farms in the vicinity of Maud. One deputy brings a repent; that two white men were captured by Seminole bucks yesterday and put to the thumb torture. United States Marshal Thompson has received instructions to send a force of deputies to . the line marking the border of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. to co-operate with the In- dian Territory officials in quelling the threatened outbreaks. Grave fears are entertained for home- The whole country is aroused. - THERE WAS no iNDlAN upmsmc. Railroad Agent at Earlboro Tried His Band at Romancing. Guthrie, O. T., Jan, l3.—-Gov. Barnes has received information from the offi- cers at the scene of the reported upris-, ing of the Seminow Indians that the whole story was a myth. I The Indians are furious over the burning of the two young Indians, one of whom. 'at least, it is believed, was innocent of the crime charged, but the and sheriffs have the Seminoles under con- trol, and no trouble is likely to hap- pen. I The first account of the alleged up- rising was sent out by the agent for the Choctaw. Oklahoma and Gulf Rail- way, at Earisboro, I. T., to the train despatcher at Kansas City. Mo. The story was a pure fabrication, originate ing with the railicad agent. It was ascertained yesterday that the burning of the two victims took place about a hundred yards on this side of the territorial line, hence in Oklr homa. Governor Barnes last night issued a proclamation offering $1.000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the.mem- bers of the mob. The Governor also telegraphed the officers of Pottawato- mie County, where, the crime was com- children out of the‘ mitted, that the people of the nation. looked to them to 'do everything pos- . sible to prevent further crime, and to arrest and bring to justiceall con~ cerned in the burning. 1 111111211 by Earthquake.

HEARINGS Ex-Senator Edmunds Speaks in Support of the Commission’s Bill. 1 Washington, Jan. 13. —The Monetary Commission was given a hearing yes- terday by the House Committee on Banking and,JCurrency on the Commis— sioIn’s bill proposing a comprehensive revision of the currency. Ex- Senator Edmunds of Vermont, chairman of the Commission, headed the delegation. Secretary Gage was present. The hear- . ing attracted much interest, a number: of the members of the House, accom— panied by women, being in attendance. Several members of the Commission ; were 1eady to speak before the com-' mittee, including ex- -Senator Fairchild. The committee decided, hOWever, to hear Mr. Edmunds first. V Mr. Edmunds said that the funda- 'mental principle which the commission had felt was to be considered in es- tablishing a stable currency was, first to 'know what the standard of, value in this country is, and is to be. On this there were many divergent views amongI financial authorities. Many believed, and he was one of these, that it was impossible ‘to-have more than one standard of value. If this be true, then the question is, what is the best. standard. The experience of the world, ; Mr. Edmunds said, was that the best standard was the one subject to least, change, one to which all other values most readily adjusted themselves, one which will be the same when a trans-' actifin closes as it was when it opened. The Commission felt this, that such a thing as a double standard had never existed in the world through natural operations. There had been double standards established by law, but nev- er in fact. When it came to an actual standard, there could ‘be but one. Mr. Edmunds then referred to the ex- perience of the great nations of the world, all showing, he said, that a sin- 'gle standard meant stability and safe- ty while legal attempts at double' standards meant disaster and panic. From this universal experience. Mr. Edmunds said, he and.his associates had come to the conclusion that the first principle on which to base a cu1- rency was to have one standard; that gold is the best standard, because it is the most stable of all standards of value and subject to the least fluctua- tion from year to year and from cen- tury to century. I Following Mr. Edmunds, Mr. Fair- child took up the banking section of the commission’s report. Mr. Fairchild said it was useful to consider how in- telligent private individuals would con- duct banking without the aid of law and from that judge what the Govern- ment can do. As to the bank-note, there was no essential need of the Gov- ernment being' a. factor. The main ground for Government interference in a bank-note circulation was to facili- tate the rapidity of exchange by giving regularity to an otherwise natural op- eration between individuals. Mr. Fairchild said the banking fea- tures of the bill sought to follow nat- ural lines by binding all their re- sources, rather than requiring a depos- it of bonds with a Government trustee. To accompish this. all the banks were bound together in common action in a protection of all the notes they issued. From a peisonal inquiry Mr. Fairchild said that all the losses from national bank .failures in 1893—the worst year for them—would have occasioned a tax of less than 1-8 of 1 per cent. on the combined banks. if this IprOposed meas- ure had been inforce. Such a tax would not be an exceptional burden to the banks. Mr. Bush of Anniston, Ala., a mem- ber of the Monetary Commission, was next heard. He said it would not be to the credit of any party in power to check this movement for currency re- form, or to fall to embrace the oppor- tunity to execute it. There were some who were so bound up in the tariff that they wished to convince the country that the tariff would accomplish every- thing. But the tariff would not cure the vital evils of currency. It was as important for members of Congress to meet these evils as to furnish battle- ships and cruisers as a preparation for emergency. At the close of Mr. Bush’s statement the committee adjourned until to-day, when the hearing will bercsunied. FREED ON MURDER CHARGE. Mm McCusker Faints When She Heals ttherdlctnbecieion Applauded.
