SOFIA , Aug. 12 , The Austrian charge d'affaires" . Baton Cnllvnn Kultnbach-Iloaen- burg , has left HiilK.irla on an Indefinite leave of aWnce.

The Pr-ther Lloyd In an Inspired article sajs : "It the politicians of llulgflrla , where the officially authorized trade of murder IlourlshcM , don't appreciate the tmportatco of the cessation of diplomatic relations , It will be necessary to apply stronger measures , of which wo have plenty at our dlspornl. We have nothing to do with M. Stolioft in this matter. It Is Prince Ferdinand's duty to atone for bis premier's abominable conduct. " The Austro-nulgarlan trouble Is a suspen sion rather than a rupture of diplomatic re lations , Haron Call von Kulnibach-Iloaen- blirg , the Austrian charge d'affaires ut Sofia , havlm ; Intrusted the business of the legation to the secretary , IJaron Hennlng , dirlng hla ab.ence. U Is not likely that Austria , will do anything further , as Hulgarii Is one of the chief cuntomera for Austrian goods. Mattcra are likely to remain as they are for the present , and as Bulgaria survived a breach with HiiEsla she will also survive a breach with Austria. It is suggested that her masterful premier , M. Stolioff. wishes to embarrass Prince Ferdinand , who must choose between dismissing his premier and offending Austria. It is alleged that the sul tan has urged Prince Ferdinand to icslst , with a vohv of creating a diversion of Eu- ronean pressure now exercised upon Tur key with reference to the peace treaty. M. Stollott's antipathy to Austria 'Is notorious , whllo the relations between the Austrian court and Piince Ferdinand had already ceassd entirely , the Emperor Francis Jo- eaph having obstinately refused to receive the prince. Husfla , according to a dispatch from St. Petersburg In , the Politlschc Correspondente , declines to give thu slightest assistance tea a declaration of Bulgarian Independence , and tlio dispatch cays that all the powers , desiring the preservation of peace , would equally rcpist such a step. . \il AlllAVS IX THE ASCENDANT. fir nil nil CaMiiet CluniK" ' * All Kavor til at I'tu-ly. BERLIN , Aug. 12. The Rolchsanzolser officially announced that Count Posadowsky Wchtier. the new vice chancellor and 1m- pailal foreign secretary , Is appointed to represent the chancellor In the capacity of tho. supreme head of the Rclchsbank , and that Baron von Thlelnian , late German am bassador to the United States , who was ap pointed privy councillor with the- title of excellency , has been made a member of the Bimdesrath , and is appointed to represent the chancellor in all the financial affairs of the empire , in accordance with the act of 1S7S. This Is a most Important move , as indicating the temporary ascendancy of the agrarian , protection and blmetalllst parties. Dr. Koch , the president of the Reichsbank ; is an advocate of a pure gold standard only and recently delivered a lecture to prove that Its abolition in Germany would lead to disastrous consequences. Count Posa- dnwslcy , on the other hand , has more than once publicly advocated a double currency and although Baron von Thlelnian professes to be an advocate of the gold standard , it Is known that he has leanings toward bimetal lism. Hlmctalllsts here do not conceal the belief that the recent ministerial changes will lead to a vigorous support by the gov ernment of the bimetallic efforts. The renewal of the. German protest against the Dlngley tariff has revived In the agra rians the most extravagant expectations and they are advocating vigorous reprisals on the giouml that Germany would lose but little by such a course. 1'NCKUTAI.V AllOL'T ' HIS Keaxnii Given Iiy Missionary N'oyen for < l ltliiK ( the JanuiieHv Station.

These cases were jrought up to the land office and Commis sioner Lamoreaux decided In favor of those who purchased land from the railroad prior to 1SS4 and against those who bought sub sequently to that time. Inasmuch as thc.se i'd test ca'cs , Involving all points of law that will arise In the contests over these lands , the secretary's decision will determine the ownership of 21,000 acrea of land.

Unless the Treasury department canbe brought to modify Its construction of the tariff law In regard to the duty on stoqo Imported for gov ernment use , one of thalargest engineering works now In progrcrs In , thls country , the construction of the Buffalo -breakwater , will bo brought to an absolute standstill. The War department made n contract with Hughes Bro ? . & L'ang-3 for the construction of this work nnd under 'tho ' contract the government was to take the stone from the Canadian quarries across thi lake and lay It down at the breakwater. The Treasury de partment had been tirst cojimilted and held that this could be done- without Incurring any duty. Now , however , Juat as the' work IB starting , the collector at . 'Buffalo has noti fied the War department 'officials that ho must assess duty en the etono and refuse to admit It until the duty Is'paid. The dim culty Is that the engineers liavo no money to pay this duty and so th'e work must stnp unless the treasury officials relent. The stoppage would Involve _ forlous loss to the government , for the contractors who have their laborers end plant on 'the ' ground ready to carry out their contract might secure heavy damages for demurrage.

September wheat closed herewith scllera at SUi cents. First trades this morn ing were made at from 81c to SHic. After a few momenta' hesitation pandemonium broke locuc In the pit and the bears fell over each other In their rush to cover. When September reached SI cents long stuff came out freely and the market sagged to 82 % cents. After some Ijcsltatlon another ad vance set In which carried the price to the highest point for September reached In years Sl % cento. Realizing sales again turned the tide and a reaction followed to 83V4 cents at the close , n net advance of 1 % cents. Next to wheat , oats showed the beat ad vance and closed from three-fourths to ocvcn- clghtha of a cent higher for September. Corn lagged nnd closed three-eighths of a cent higher for September. NEW YORK Aug. 12. Wheat prices shot up today In leaps and bounds , surpass ing by moro than 1 cent , a bushel all pre vious records since the bull campaign opened. Chicago nt firot led the rise , but gave place to New York later In the day. C.ish wheat In all markets was very strong. Locally No. 1 Northern was quoted < j\ \ ' < cents over September , and No. 1 red -l'i cents over , while later in the day the latter option obtained a premium of 1 % cents over December. Only a few days ago they were on an even basis. While some of the conservative bulls contemplate a remarkable advance on the tup of the recent bulge as being too rapid nnd disastrous for general speculation , popular opinion favored it ou the idea that the homo and foreign situa tion justified dollar wheat In New York. The range on September was from SS % cents , the opening figure , to S9"4 , from which It dropped a cent a bushel , only to recover later In the day , reaching 90 % cents. Right at the close n lot ot long wheat was unexpectedly dumped on the mirket , precipitating n sudden break to S' ' ) % cents for September , or 1 cuut below the highest point. Total transactions for the day were 11,350000 bushels. Official closing prices were 1 and IVi cents higher than last night. AXOTHKIl 0001) HAY KOH THE IIUM.S.

The September wheat market opened at Sl % cents , and every quotation Indicated a still higher figure. The highest point was 84 % cents about noon , and then the advance was checked.

InillatiN Not IMeaneil with the Aetlon of the Government. SALT LAKB CITY. Utah , Aug. 12. ( Spc- i i clal Telegram. ) Not for the past sixteen years bos there been such discussion among the Uncompahgro Ulo Indians as that which lias recently arisen from the Intention of the United States government , under a re cent act of congrtts , to allot to the Un compahgro Indians In severally , and after th'a Is accomplished to throw open for set tlement the remaining portion ot what IB known as the UncompaliKre reservation. This provision of the last congress applies only to the agricultural lands , so called , The Immense mineral lauds on this Indian rcaervatlon have been held back until the next congress disposes of one of the most perplexing questions which has arisen in dcbato In congrcfs since 1S91. There Is nn further need of disguising the fact , which to everybody upon tlio Immense Uncompah gro and Ulntah Ute reservations Is patent , that the Uncompahgro Ulcs are In nn cx- eltod frame of mind. The chlet of the Uncompahgnv : . Shavcncaii , is the brother of Ouray , who died In 1SSO. Shavcncau is a peaceably Inclined Indian. It was but recently that he was made ac quainted with the provisions ot the recent act ot congress , which act had such n vital connection with the tribe of which ho is the supreme chief , nnd no time was lost In telling his tribe the import of the act. The Utes are well nwaro of the fact that an outbreak at this or any other time will result In their annihilation and llielr chlefa are urging them to submit with broken hearts to the edict ot the "great father" at Washington as to their future. These Un- compahgro Utes are today among the iiKst Intelligent tribes of Indiana In the United States. They came into Utah sixteen Ions years ago from what Is known as the now bcoAitlful and thrifty Uncompahgre valley of Colorado. Sixteen years ago this Rummir the Eo-calleil Ute Indian comnimlrnionera , with the assistance of United States troops , under the command of the late General Mac- Konzle , removed these Indians Into Utah. They were placed upon the now oo-callcd Utah-Uncompabgro Indian reservation ngalntt their will. Sonic of the causes that lead to their present dlsE-atlsfactlon are stated by Colonel Randlett , acting Indian agent , who says : "The situation shows that these Indians had been grcssly wronged by the commis sioners who removed them from Colorado under the treaty of 1SSO. On Grand river , Colorado , and in Utah , as they had been In structed , tjiey forced them far beyond that vicinity "to the 'Junction of the Green and White -rivers. Although they had been in trusted with hundreds of thousands of dollars lars provided by congrcfs for locating these Indians on agricultural lands , furnishing them with houses to live In and providing them with Implements of husbandry , etc. . not a single Ind'an ' did they lorate on agri cultural land ; not a alr.cle habitable houne did they have constructed and nothing remained " mained "in 1897 to phew what these commis sioners had accomplished beyond the getting those Indians out of Colorado and dumpln ; : them In a locality which lias proven an arid waste In summer , with deathly rigid climate In winter , where , without sufficient shelter , the scanty clothing fu'nlshed by the depart ment hna been Inadequate to prevent want nnd starvation , reduclnc their number to nearly one-hilt ot what It was when they were brought from Colorado. " Under the re cent act of congress each head of a family la to receive ICO acres of agricultural and grazing land each , and each minor eighty acres 'of each clafs ot land. There Is not half enough grazing and agricultural land In the reservation to make these allotments and for what amount Is given them the Utes are to bo charged $1.25 an acre , the money to be taken from the proceeds of the E lc of fine agricultural lands from which they were driven In Colorado. The Indians rebel at this and but for the presence of United States troops It is not believed they could bo restrained from open resistance. HHJ GLUCOSK PLANTS COMIIISE.

Sweeping and far-reaching Injunctions now figure in the coal miners' strike In the Plttsburg dis trict. The developments of tojay tend to make the situation a Htrnlnod one and It appears that n crisis Is near at I'aml. The ( strikers have demonstrated that their ntuemblages , marches and missionary work | , have materially affected the output of tha Now York and Cleveland Gas Coal company , while at the E.11110 time public sympathy has been enlisted In their cause. The sheriff's proclamation , Issued two weeks ago , restraining the men from assem bling and marching , has been a dead letter and the marches have been continued dully. No disturbance of nny kind has occurred , the olllclals of the minors contriving through , the whole time to keep tholr men within peaceful bounds. The preliminary Injunc tion , Issued today by Judges Collier and Stowe- , now brings the ! matter to the eaiinly Courts for settlement. The ease will ho licard on Monday morning and the decision Is looked forward to with much interest. The miners and their olllclats claim that they are keeping within the law and have tha right to assemble In peace acid demon strate to the world that they ere being wronged by a rate of wages that hecpo thi-m constantly at the point of starvation ; also that they have a right lo use thulr presence- and 'Influence among men who are militat ing against thulr Interests by continuing at work. The New York ctul Cleveland Gas Coal company , on the other hand , asserts that the marches and assemblages arc unlawful and a menace to their employes , many of whom , they say , are willing to work pro viding the strikers remain away. Looking , at the matter from this standpoint , IUH com pany made its radical inovo today In the- courts to bring abcut a condition under- which the company can operate Its mines. PREUMINAHY INJUNCTION. The much talked of bill for an InJunction - - Junction against \ the United Mine , Workers that wt to have 'been ' filed In the United States courts was filed In the- county .courtabout noon by counsel for the- New York and Cleveland Gas Coal com pany. The defendants named are the United. Mlno Workers of America , Patrick Dolan , president ; Edward McKay , vice president ; . William Warner , secretary and treasurer ; and others. The plaintiff company sets forth that It la a corporation under the lawo of Pennsyl vania with a capital of $1,000,000 Invested in coal lands of Pennsylvania. Three ot , their mines , employing 1,200 men , are Plum Creek , Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek. The bill then recites the conditions prevailing at their mines since the strike begun and al leges that the strikers have paid no atten tion to the sheriff's proclamation and that the lives of the miners and the property of the company nro In danger. Judge Collier * granted a preliminary injunction restraining and enjoining the defendants from assem bling , marching encamping In proximity to the mines. It further rcop- probrlous words 'of preventing the mineral of the plaintiff from working. It further re strains the defendants from Inducing or com pelling nny employe or miner to < iult work. A hearing was fixed for August 1C. The In junction Is regarded as the 'most sweeping yet Issued. President Dolan expressed surprise when informed that'll had licon granted and added : "U will make no difference to uw. Wo will not break camp and will go right along as usual until the matter Is tested in the courts. We will stay there regardless of every Judge- In Allegheny county , and If they attempt to. enforce the Injunction they will have to- build more jails to accommodate the' men. " When the news of the Injunction granted by the county court , practically breaking up- the camp , reached Turtle Creek , the wildest excitement ensued , The striker's were em phatic in their protests ngalnU the action and a conference of the camp leaders watt at once called for , and plans discussed for some means ot holding the groutfd gained against the New York and Cleveland Gas. Coal company's men. If the strikers continue their marches In the morning , as they now say they will , In defiance of the Injunction , capiases will ho Issued for the offenders cu the charge of contempt of court. Should the Injunction ho enforced , the strikers' camps around the Ho Armltt milieu will bo extinct , Thu strikers , though cxtltcd over the turn of events , are In no wise dlehcartenod. Developments at CanciiKhurg are bolng watched closely. The avowed Intuition ot the strikers to march tomorrow morning , dcsplto Judge Mcllvalne'u Injunction , Is ex pected to retmlt In bloodshed or the lining" of the county prlsonu with the arrested minors. ' ' The long talked of demonstration against the Westmoreland county miners has been abandoned by the strikers after one day's trial , because of a lack of food , The at tempt , It Is Bald , will be repeated soon when ample provisions will bo carrleil along and a slcgo proclaimed and carried to- ItH full issuo.

The striking miners at Canonshurg have determined to form the Injunc tion Issue by continuing the daily- marches and meetings In thn neighborhood : of the McGovcrn anil Canonsburg mines In splto of the order of Judge Mcllxvano of Wanhlngton forbidding marches nn the pub lic roads leading to the mines , The purpose- Is to have the men arrested In order to test Iho legality of the Injunction , Patrick Dolan stated that It hud been determined ] to keep up the marching , and an fast as ono group Is arrested another will take its place until there will be so many of thorn In jail that public opinion will ho aroused on the question of Die alleged new form of In junction.
