Storer says that any action he 1 will be on conservative lines, as isires to make his inquiry for in jtion rather than criticism until acts are presented.

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.

Atchison, Kan., Nov. 17.—A negro made a brutal assault upon Mrs. lien Hobson, Mrs. McHale Cain, Mias Uosa Cain and Mrs. Frank Guitzman in their homes about 6 o'clock this morning, injuring Mrs. Cain and Rosa and beating Mrs. Guitzman into in sensibility. The town is aroused and a good many citizens are aiding the police in their search for the wretch. The “Keel Duchess” Dead.

The President Gives Denial to a Story That Has Been Set Afloat—Never Since 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 Hills of Osborne County. Kan. 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 Lewelling regards as a fake the story telegraphed from Indiana that Jerry Simpson proposed to remove to that state and become the Populist candi date for governor in 180i». Other Popu 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 der of his life. MASSACRED BY TURKS.

The west line of the Seminole nation will ex tend south.to Ked river and form the boundary between Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. This will make Oklahoma safely Democratic.
