Haray Storer, of the commit
foreign affairs of the house of
nlatives, intends presenting
gress when it reassembles, a
ion of inquiry as to the action

g a careful examination of the
t with a view to taking the
steps. The resolutions when
will request the secretary

patible with the public service,
will ask for information as to
departure, if any, from the tra
al policy of the government as
lied in the Monroe doctrine, is

coming a factor in Asiatic en

examining the treaty of 1858,
‘eu China and the United States,

’• its willingness to mediate, Mr.

ate mediation by the president
;cutive branch alone. It recites
bstance that the United States
(xercise their good offices in case

MR. SOVEREIGN’S ADDRESS.
Annual Report or the K. of L Genera!
Master Workman.
New Ori.eass, La., Nov. it. —The
afternoon session of the Knights of
Labor convention convened at 3
o'clock and adjourned at 5:30. After
some preliminary business, General
Master Workman Sovereign delivered
his annual address, which was an
exhaustive and elaborate resume of
the work of the order from its incip
iency. He attributed the decreased
membership,of. the order to the de
pression in business circles, prevalent
bankruptcy, low wages and forced
idleness of laboring classes.
Referring to the A. R. U. affiliations,
he advised a coalition with this as
well as all labor organizations. His
resume of the Pullman strike termi
nated in severe criticism of Major
General John M. Schofield and
the recommendations of that of
ficer for an increase of the
army, together with the ac
tion of “Chicago's millionaire aris
tocracy, who were permitted to pre
sent a stand of colors to the Fifteenth
infantry,” which was indication of an
“uneasy desire to subjugate labor
through the military powers of the
nation.” He urged that the assembly
take strong action against an increase
of the military force of the nation and
that they advocate a decrease in the
regular army and the abolition of the
state militia.
WHAT IT MAY DO.
The Short Democratic Congress will
Try to Do Many Tilings.
Washington-, Nov. 17.—While pros
pects of legislation during the closing
session of this congress are not bright,
the Democrats have a very ambitious
program. Not to mention silver
or the pop-gun tariff bills, much
important legislation will be at
tempted. It is proposed, first of
all, to attempt a reorganization of
the national bank system, so as to se
cure an expansion of the currency on
an easier system of security. Next
to amend the inter-state commerce
law, to pass a free ship bill, and an
earnest attempt will be made to pass
a bill putting the Nicaraguan canal
under the control of the United
States government, the government
to bear the costs of construction.
Any new scheme of finance is likely
to meet with strong opposition in tho
senate, where it is just possible the
silver men may have a maioritv.
A HUSBAND’S VENGEANCE.
Bleaching? Skeletons of Two Eloping?
Couples Found In Alabama.
Francisco, Ala., Nov. 17.—News has
reached here of the finding of four
human skeleton-; in a crevice on Cum
berland mounti. .i near the head of
Hurricane creek. The remains were
found by some negroes who
were chestnut hunting. The skele
tons are believed to be those of Mrs.
Sarah Bishop, her step-daughter, and
two men, strangers in this county,
with whom the women eloped last
spring. At the time the enraged hus
band and father went in search of
the recreants, lie remained absent
for a while, but finally returned and
reported that his search had been
fruitless. Since then nothing has
been heard of the elopers. Mr.
Bishop has also left this part of the
country, and his whereabouts is not
known. An effort will be made to
develop the facts in the case.
NO GOLD BEING SBNT HERE.
A Shipment From England Intended for
Canada.
New York, Nov. 17.—It is generally
believed in banking circles that £200,
000 consigned to the bank of British
North America is for Canadian ac
count and has no connection with the
recent government bond issue.
Foreign bankers characterize the
rumors of gold imports at this time as
preposterous and say that to import
gold would be equivalent to selling
demand exchange 3d per pound below
the prevailing rate; that the purchas
ers of bonds for foreign account can
find a ready market for their bills
owing to the low price of exportable
commodities and the excellent de
mand from remitters, and that there
is no need of any such operation as
gold imports being made unless the
price of exchange shall decline ma
te rally.
MB. MAXWELL’S 1IEPOR1.
Work of the Fourth Assistant Fostmas
tor General—An Army of Postmasters.
Washington, Nov. 17.—The annual
report of R. A. Maxwell, fourth as
sistant postmaster general, has been
submitted to the postmaster general.
There are three divisions under his
charge—appointments, bonds and
commissions and postoffice inspectors
and mail depredations. The report
covers the period for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1894. The total num
ber of postoffices in operation in the
United States on that date was 69,805.
Of these 66,377 were fourth class
offices and 3,428 presidential; the net
increase over the previous year being
1,403. During the year 3.130 post
offices were established and 1,734 dis
continued. The total number of ap
pointments during the year was 33,166
and the total number of cases acted
on 37,560, of which 8,966 were in cuses
of removals.
A Negro Urute In Atchison.
Atchison, Kan., Nov. 17.—A negro

morning, injuring Mrs. Cain and Rosa
and beating Mrs. Guitzman into in

NO DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN

Their Association Has There Been the
flliflhtest Unpleasantness or Difference
Concerning the Affairs of the Treasury
Department or Any Other Matter—
Something About the Kew Currency
Policy.
Cleveland and Carlisle.
Washington, Nov. 14.—The atten
tion of the president was called yes
terday to the statement contained in
certain newspapers to the effect there
had been a disagreement between
him and Mr. Carlisle in regard to the
issue of bonds and other matters and
intimating such a disagreement
might result in the secretary’s retire
ment from the cabinet
The president emphatically denied
the entire “batch of silly misstate
ments" and said: “Never since our
association together has there been
the slightest unpleasantness or differ
ence concerning the affairs of the
treasury department or any other
matter. I have every reason to be
lieve his attachment to me is
as sincere and great as mine is for
him. I should be much afflicted if any
thing should cause him to enter
tain the thought of giving up
his position where lie is doing so much
for his country. We have agreed ex
actly as to the issue of bonds and
there has been no backwardness on
his part on that subject. I see it is
said I am formulating a financial
scheme. If such a scheme is pre
sented it will be the work of the sec
retary of the treasury and I ihall in
dorse and support it.
“The trouble seems to he that
those charged with the executive
duties of the government do not ap
pear willing at all times to take coun
sel with the newspapers and make
public all they intend to do.”
FRANCE'S TRADE DEPRESSION.
Consul Wiley Slakes a Report on the
Hard Times In the Republic.
Washington, Not. 10. — United
States Consul J. S. Wiley at llordeux,
France, sends to the department of
state a report on trade depression in
France, in which he says: “If the in
habitants of the United States have
had reason to complain of hard times
for a year or more past, the French,
to a certain degree, hare been their
companions in misfortune. Not
that France cannot suifer and
endure as pronounced a finan
cial depression, and still thrive.
On the contrary, I doubt, if,
taking all things into consideration,
she is not to-day better off than any
of her foreign neighbors, for statistics
show that there still remains more
money per capita in circulation in the
republic of France than in any other
country in the world. The report
recently published by the custom
house, giving an itemized resume of
France’s exportation and importation
during 1893, however, shows that
there has been a diminution in her
commerce amounting to 50:1,000,000
francs. This represents, compared
with the previous year a fall
ing off of 803,000,000 francs
in exportations and 252,000,000 francs
in importations. Many reasons may
be ascribed for this condition of af
fairs. First, the prevailing business
and commercial depression exper
ienced throughout the world; second,
as regards importations into France,
the country little over two years ago
also increased the duty on nearly all
raw and manufactured articles dis
charged at her ports or brought
across the frontier, and, as goods, to
apply an old aphorism, - are paid for
with goods, either directly or indi
rectly, Franco may explain the de
crease of her exportations by the ap
lication of that theory. We may, in
a certain measure, take it for
granted, however, that the merchan
dise which has heretofore gone abroad
is now consumed at home, offering
thereby no less employment to skilled
labor or to the manufacturing inter
ests.”
STEVENSON FOR 1S96.
Senator Brice Booms Him for the Dem
ocratic nomination for President.
New Yobk, Nov. 16.—Senator Brice,
who is in the city, said yesterday, re
garding the political situation:
“The next Democratic candidate to
run tor the presidency will be Adlai
E. Stevenson, and he will have the
united support of all factions of his
party. He is the logical candidate
and he comes from a state that can be
carried by the Democrats with his
name leading the presidential ticket.
He is the best man we can take. 1
do not think the party would make a
mistake. The election of last Tues
day settled the fate of several pros
pective candidates, and I am more
than ever convinced now that Mr.
Stevenson is our man. As for Cleve
land running for a third term—all
that kind of talk is twaddle.
Agrlcatural College OAelaD.
Washington, Nov. 16.—The annual
election of officers of the Association
of American Agricultural Colleges
and Experiment stations was held to
day with these results: President, H.
E. Alvord of Oklahoma: first vice pres
ident, A. A. Johnson of Wyoming:
secretary and treasurer, F. L. Wash
burn of Rhode Island; biographer. S.
W. Johnson of Connecticut.
No Postoffices Excepted.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Many re
quests are received at the postoffice
department from postoffices all over
the country asking that certain offices
included in the recent civil service
order be excepted from its operations
for a short time, the postmasters ap
pointed since the new administration
came into power not yet having had
time to fill the offices under them with
their party friends. To each the re
ply is made that the president only
can except any offices from the oper
ation of the new order, and that it is
not very probable that he would be
Tilling to do so.
CALLS FOR TROOPS.
Indian Amt Wisdom Aral a Appeals
to tTaalilBBtoo.
Washington, Nor, 10. — Indian
AgentWlsdom at Muskogee, Ind. Ter.,
telegraphed the Interior Depart
ment yesterday as follows: As I
predicted would be the case, the Cook
gang, estimated at fifteen strong,
held up the north-bound train at 10
o’clock last night at lllackstone
switch, five miles north of this place.
Thoy robbed all the passengers, get
ting considerable money and other
property. Nobody was killed.
“The courts are utterly powerless
to protect us in olther life or proper
ty, and I see no end to the trouble
unless the military intervene. I
must again recommend that troops
be sent here at once. Please refer
this matter to the secretary of the
interior, and, if need be, to the presi
dent. Tlie utmost consternation pre
vails and people lawfully residing in
the Territory are at the mercy of the
bandits. In the last few days this
gang has committed rape, murder and
every sort of robbery, and the state
of affairs is a shame and reproach to
civilization."
The secretary of war, upon the ad
vice of the attorney general, stated
recently that he was not authorised
to send troops to the territory, and it
is said by interior department officials
that Secretary Smith is powerless in
the matter. The telegram, however,
will be referred to secretary Lamont,
so that he 'may understand the sit
uation. _
IS IN CALLS A CANDIDATE?
The Atchlaoa Itatunui May Go> After
John Martin’! heat.
Topeka, Kan.,. Nov. 10.—There is
some talk over the state that John J.
Ingalls will bo sprung as a dark horse
candidate for John Martin’s seat in
the United States senate. Ingalls
has intimated that ha would wait un
til 1897 and then go after Mr. Peffer’s
seat, but the Atchison (Hobo, which is
authority on the iridescent states
man, says:
“John J. Ingalls said in a recent
interview that he was not a candi
date for tlio United States senate.
Of course he is. If he would name
the dearest wish of his heart, it
would bo to return to the senate.
This is perfectly natural, and ho
would rather bo elected this winter
than two years hence. We have never
heard Mr, Ingalls say this, but we
know it. During his retirement from
politics, however, Mr. Ingalls lias
lost his organization, and it is prob
able that he will have difficulty in.
securing the indorsement of the leg
islature. In Kansas polities it has.
been the rule for candidates to go in
and make a fight. The success of his
plan of waiting to be coaxed will be
watched with interest.”
MICHIGAN’S LONE DEMOCRAT.
Be Will Have Lots of Sport ns a am
ber of the Legislature.
New York, Nov. 10.—United States
Senator McMillan, who is here from
Michigan, said of the Michigan po
litical situation: “The situation is
unique. The state senate is composed
wholly of Republicans. The lower
house has ninety-nine Republicans
aud one Democrat. That one Demo
crat is John Donovan of West Bay
City. Mr. Donovan is a sober, thought
ful, earnest man who does not appre
ciate the fun which everyone in Mich
igan is trying to make out of the
fact that he is the solitary Democrat
in the legislature. I do not think
anything of the sort ever happened
in a Northern state. The situation is
so unusual that everybody laughs.
It is customary for the minority to
have representation on all the com
mittees. Probably the rule will have
to be changed this year. There are
two United States senators to be
elected this winter. Of course Mr.
Donovan may go into caucus as a mi
nority and nominate two Democratic
candidates. The power of absolutely
determing two candidates for the
United States senate, who shall re
ceive the unanimous support of the
party they represent, seldom comes
to any one man. ”
UNION PACIFIC. CASES HEARD.
The Branch I.lnes Matter Brought Be
fore Federal Judge Sanborn.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 1C.—Before
Judge Sanborn, in the United States
circuit court to-day, the application
of the receivers of the Union Pacific
to cut off branch lines was heard on
appeal from the report of Mastcr-in
Chancery Cornish, who made numer
ous recommendations concerning the
matter. There was a question of a
division of earnings between the
Kansas City & Omaha and St Joseph
& Grand Island and the Union Pacific.
The matter was submitted with the
privilege of filing briefs, should the
attorney desire. Judge Cornish had
recommended that the receivers of
the Fort Scott and Omaha operate
that road and that any deficit that
might arise from such operations be
borne by the St. Joseph and Grand
Island and the Union Pacific, the di
vision betweeu them to be based ou
some fair ratio.
Not Guilty of Strike Interference.
Chryf.j.'NE, Wyo., Nov. 1ft.—F. J.
Egan, associated editor of the Carbon
County Journal, E. T. Burke, district
court clerk of Carbon eounty,
and City Marshal Healy of Raw
lins have been acquitted in the
United States district court of the
charge of interfering with the Union
Pacific receivers during the railroad
strike. The prosecution broke down
completely, and at the request of
District Attorney Clark the judfje in
structed the jury to find a verdict of
not guilty.
Kansas Speakership Candidates.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 16.—Members
of the legislature who were in the
city to attend the state ratification,
and who gathered at the Copeland
hotel in great numbers, were disposed
to talk freely regarding candidates
for speaker, and the several names
mentioned in that connection found
I numerous supporters. The known
| candidates arc: S. S. Benedict of
i Wilson, C. H. Lobdell of Lane, J. K.
] Cubbison of Wyandotte, J. V. Beek
man of Cowley und Colonel Warner of
Cherokee. There are other candi
dates, no doubt, but these constitute
the most prominent list.
ANOTHER BOND CALL, i
PUT FORTH BY THE SECRETARY
OF THE TREASURY.
The Interest Rate to Be Five Per Cent,
mud the Bond* Are to Ran Ten Year*—
A Bl( Premium I* Looked For—The
President Determined to Protoet the
Bold Reserve of the Treasury—Denom
ination of tho Maw Bonds*
Asking Bids Far Bonds.
Washington, Nov. 15.—Tho issue of
850,000,000 iu bonds, whioh tho presi
dent decided upon and for which Sec
retary Carlisle, despite his previously
deolared purpose not to do so until
congress should act, issued a circular
inviting bids last night, will ease
present treasury conditions, but will
not afford permanent relief, and there
is reason to believe that the presi
dent and the secretary will submit
most important suggestions on this
need to congress in December. Legis
lation will be asked designed to
prevent the recurrence of these con
ditions or empowering the govern
ment to meet them promptly and ef
fectively and the subjeot of currency
will reoeive exhaustive treatment. It
is altogether probable that the labor
Mr. Cleveland is now expending on
the subject will make his December
message one of the most notable ever
addressed to congress. It is said that
he will favor many of the suggestions
made by the bankers' national con
vention at lialtiinore in September.
What is known as the Baltimore
plan, adopted at that convention, ap
pealed to the president as having
features of merit. He obtained a
copy of the plan and since that time
lie has been studying and working on
the subject Briefly stated the Balti
more plan provides for a guarantee
fund, obtained by levying a small tax
upon all of the banks. This fund is
to be used to pay tho notes of tho
banks which become insolvent.
Since it became whispered among
financiers that tho president was pre
paring to address congress upon tho
currency system, so many suggestions
liavo reached him that he thought it
well to gather some expert opinion
among bankers, whom he could not
personally consult. The present visit
of William E. Curtis, assistant secre
tary of the treasury, to New York
city, is understood to be for
the purpose of sounding publio
opinion there upon the general
subject. While Mr. Curtis is in
New York, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Conrad N. Jordan is in
Washington, urging upon the presi
dent to recommend to congress the
appointment of a currency commi s
sfon, non-partisan in its character,
and composed of representative men
of all sections, who shall consider the
currency question in its various bear
ings and report a system of reform to
congress.
There is no great confidence in ad
ministration circles that a bill for cur
rency reform can be passed during
the short session, but the president
is willing to meet the issue and begin
a campaign of education, whether lie
achieve immediate success or not.
NOT FOR GERMANY.
Slid- Mint I'agr tho Old Kate of Duty on
Her Salt Sent Here.
Washington, Nov. 15. — Attorney
General Olney has rendered an im
portant opinion involving the inter
pretation of the “most favored na
tion” clause in tho treuty between
the United States and Prussia. The
question propounded, by the secre
tary of the treasury was whether
salt imported from, the empire
of Germany was dutiable under
paragraph 008 of the new tariff act,
which provided that if salt should be
imported from any country, whether
independent or a dependency, whicli
should impose a duty on salt exported
from the United States, then there
should be levied upon such suit the
rate of duty existing prior to the
passage of the act'. As at present ad
vised the attorney general holds that
salt imported from Germany is le
gally dutiable. So far as the favored
nation clause is concerned, the same
argument will apply to beet sugar as
to salt.
HEADQUARTERS FOR OUTLAWS.
Dospsradup* Rendezvous In tha Blua

Sauna, Kan., Nov. 15.—A man ar
rested at Leavenworth two weeks
ago lor carrying concealed weapons
has given valuable information, as to
the history and whereabouts of the
gang of robbers operating throughout
the state. It is supposed he was a
a member of the band that raided the
bank at Taseott, fifteen miles north
west of here, in September, securing
about $1,000. Detectives employed
by the express companies and banks
have discovered that the gang num
bers thirty desperate men. They
have headquarters in the Blue hills
ot Osborne county, a thinly settled
and rough country. From there they
operate, along the line down into the
territory.
The Simpson Story Not Credited.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 15.—Governor

Simpson proposed to remove to that
state and become the Populist candi

lists who are intimate with Simpson
take a like view of the story. They
say Simpson is a very sick man and
that he will be an invalid the remain

government for the civilized tribes,
cutting off about four-fifths of the
Chickasaw nation and the Kiowa and
