0 i i. V I INDIANS AEE UNRULY THEY THREATEN TO AVENGE A SHOOTING. The Situation About Arapahoe Regarded as Decidedly Serloas Joit at Present The Complication Drives the Gold F.x cltement Temporarily oat of Mind The Obstreperous Indians Kept In Check by Troops. The Cheyennes Unruly. BitmoKroBT, Ok., June 22. This is the first relay station on the way to the gold diggings on the Washita. Across the river are two diverging roads one to Cloud Chief on the southwest and the other to Arapahoe on the north west. Arapahoe is the scene of great excitement, while Cloud Chief is com paratively quiet, although it is only fifteen miles from the diggings. The excitement at Arapahoe is due to the shooting of Casah Red Lodge, a Cheyenne Indian accused of assaulting an old white woman named Hayes, southeast of that place. Red Lodge was arrested near Watonga by deputy sheriffs and taken to Arapahoe by a deputy sheriff named IJurch. There Burch took him to a ball game Satur day. The noise and crowd soared him and he tried to run away. After an ex citing chase he was shot by the sheriff. This excited the Cheyennes, but they were held in check by Troop A, Third United Stat es cavalry, which is in camp near the town. The Indians went into council and sent couriers to Fort Reno and the Kiowas. To-day Captain Woodson, agent of the Chey ennes and Arapahoes, went to Arapa hoe to quiet the Indians. The gold excitement is lost to sight in this new trouble. If the whites can Identify Red Lodge as the man who assaulted Mrs. Hayes, they will hang him. The Indians think the deputy sheriff took Red Lodge to the ball game in order to have him mobbed. Great fears are expressed by all who know, the feeling between the Indians and the whites. John Hansel, a young Cheyenne who was educated at Carlisle and speaks good English, said to-day: "I fear my people will rise against the white men. The whites have imposed upon them beyond endurance. I saw old Red Lodge at Watonga. He said ii ms son aiea ine Indian warriors would go on the warpath and wipe out iae wnite people at Arapahoe." Asked how many warriors the Chey ennes had, Hansel said that there were from 300 to 400. They would get no neip irom the Arapahoes, but would from the Kiowas. THE MYSTERY SOLVED. American Wheelman Lens Murdered by the Kurds. Washington; June 22. United States Minister Terrill cables from Constantinople that the British consul at Erzeroum informs him that Cyclist Fred Lenz of Pittsburg, Pa., who mys teriously disappeared about a year ago while traveling through Persia on a tour for Outing, the Ameri can wheelmen's journal, was mur dered near Dahar by five Kurds. The British consul has .furnished the names of the assassins and Minister Terrill has demanded the arrest and punish ment of the Kurds at the hands of the porte and has requested the co-operation of the British consul in bringing the murderers to justice. Four years ago Lenz, accompanied by Sachtleben of St. Louis, made a tour of the world a-wheel in the inter est of Outing, and two years ago Lenz started on another trip of the same nature, but by a different route. He got along all right until he reached the scene of the Armenian outrages, and wrote many interesting letters of his journey ings through .Eu rope and Asia. The last letter re ceived from him was forwarded from Teheran, in Persia, about a year ago, and his next letter was ex pected from Erzeroum or Constanti nople. No further letters being re ceived from him, an investigation fol lowed, but it was several months be fore any definite news of the missing cyclist was obtained. It was learned that he had passed safely through Sassoun. where he attracted consider able attention from the natives, and on leaving that town he was followed by the Kurds, who are sus pected of having killed him. Outing finally secured the services of Sachtleben to make a trip in search of his missing comrade, and with the aid of the British consul at Erzeroum finally succeeded in verifying the re port of Lenz's assassination and the names of his murderers. It was hoped that Lenz had been captured by the Kurds and was being held for ransom, but it is now positively asserted that he was killed. Tried by Court Martial. Wasijixgton-, June 22.

The Kan sas board of agriculture to-day issued a report on the" state's present crop condition, deduced from observations made by its regular correspondents in practically every township in the state and Secretary Coburn thinks the show ing is in many respects one of fine prospects as compared with the report .made May 1. -The report is as follows: v inter wheat Previous 'estimates indicated the area sown to winter wheat as 4,064,137 acres, and May 1 it was believed that 53 per cent of this would be harvested. Present estimates are that about 37 per cent, or 1,496,791 acres will be cut and the average yield 9.24 bushels per acre, or a total oi 12, 532,333 bushels. The largest averaere yield per acre for a county is 15 bushels u njiauuoue. Alien, coney, uonipnan and Phillips report 13 bushels per acre ana 33 counties an averasre vield of 10 j Jbushels or more. Spring Wheat Of spring wheat 65 ; per cent of the acreage will be har i vested, or about 86,000 acres. The , yield is set down at 773,000 bushels, or j an average of nine bushels per acre ; for the thirty-two counties in which it ! is reported growing. The highest i average, sixteen bushels, is figured ' from Phillips county; nineteen coun j ties report a probable averge of ten j bushels or more per acre, and indica i tions of the quality are medium or good. There is but a single exception as to the qual ity. Corn It is corn, the crop overshadow ing in acreage, value and importance an , other which Kansas produces, wherewith the state now promises to exceed by far the best of its wonder ful previous yield records. The area now reported planted is 8.410,91 S acres, or an increase of almost ten per cent of the estimate May 1, and also an increase of 1,417,741 acres, or more than twenty per cent, over the largest ever before planted, which was 6,yJ3,- 207 acres, in ISsS. uats ihe rains have worked a very notable chancre in the condition of cats, causing them to head and fill much better than seemed possible May l. although the straw will be unusu ally short. The yield promises to be not less than twenty-five bushels per acre, or a total of 32,000,000 bushels of "medium to '-very good" grain the largest output mnce 1S92. Chinch bugs have been more or less numerous and industrious in Atchison, Chautauqua, Cherokee, Crawford, ranklin, Labette, Montgomery, Sum ner, abaunsee and U oodson, but re cent rains must inevitably check their injurious work, and also strengthen plant growth to better withstand their assaults. Rye Rye was sown on 165,340 acres, oi wnich 51 per cent, or 84,935 acres will be harvested and yield ten bushels per acre. (Juality "medium to "good.

LEAGUE Friends of White Metal Determined A Compromise Address Proffered, Which the Silver Champions Antagonize The Matter Referred to m Suo-Commlttee With Only Two free Coinage Members What Was Offered by the Man from Oklahoma. The Contest Is Over Silver. Cleveland, Ohio, June 21. The lommittee on resolutions of the Re publican national league organized vesterday, with Congressman Robin son of Pennsylvania as chairman and H. G. Knowles of Delaware as secre tary. This was against the silverites, but thev at once becran a fitrht. A re cess was taken for two hours, when a subcommittee of nine was appointed to hear all sides. The compxomise res olution, which attracted the most at tention, was presented by Senator lect J. M. Thurston of Nebraska, as follows: "We approve the declaration "it the last Republican national con vention, 'the American people from tradition and interest favor bi metallism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as a standard money, with -,uch restrictions and under such pro visions to oe aeterminea as win secure the maintenance of the parity of val ues of the two metals, so the purchas ing or debt paying power of the dol lar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equaly, and refer the acion for a more specific declara tion to the next Republican conven tion, which alone has the power to bind the party or make platforms and ieclare principles." It was after two o'clock this morning when the subcommittee adjourned. Mr. Blackwell of Massachusetts pre sented a resolution inclining very strongly toward the gold standard, and numerous other resolutions expressing all sorts of views on the money ques tion followed in quick succession. Sen ator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. Allen of Utah fought like tigers for free coin age, making vigorous speeches, which were listened to with close attention. They spoke for free coinage at 16 to 1, without waiting for . the co-operation of any other nation. The sub-committee resumed its ses sion early after breakfast. The prop osition of the anti-free coinage men was modified into an address that would prevent the silver men from preparing and offering a minority re port. Senator Dubois and Allen of Utah had to be satisfied. The sub committee appointed Dr. Robinson of Jiew York, Senator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. llarkless of Missouri as a committee to revise the address. The revision committee reported to the subcommittee at 10 o'clock and the discussion on the silver issue was re sumed. The subcommittee, however, announced that it would report to the full committee at 2 o'clock. As soon as it became known that a compromise in the shape of an address on the financial issue was being fig-' ured on, nearly everyone started to I work for this plan with a view to pre venting such a fight in convention as there was in the committeee on reso lutions. The Tennessee delegation met be fore the convention and decided that the new South had not been properly brought to the front before the con vention as other sections. A resolution was adopted requesting ex-Congress man William R. Moore to prepare an address to the Republican party of the United States, to be delivered to the convention, setting forth the claims of the South to a fuller recognition by the party. General McAlpin, the prospective president, was robbed before daybreak of 'his gold watch, diamond and money. Among those accorded an ovation on entering the hall to-day was Gen eral Asa S. Bushnell, Republican can didate for governor of Ohio, who sat as one of the Ohio delegates." WARNER MILLER MAKES A TALK. When President Tracy called the the convention to order at 11 o'clock first thing done was the appointment of Senator-elect Thurston of Nebraska, H. Clay Evans of Tennessee, ex-Gov ernor Prince of New Mexico, Messrs. Goodnow of Minnesota and Buck of Georgia to wait on ex-Senator Warner Miller of New Xork and invite him to address the convention. Then the committee on credentials reported in favor of seating both delegations from South Carolina. This was adopted. On the report of the committee on rules the rules of the Reed house and the Denver convention were adopted. Warner Miller then addressed the convention. Mr. Miller appeared with a brilliant McKinley badge on his lapel and, in referring to the absence of those who were expected to be here to sound keynotes, he said he would wear that badge till he reached the New lork state line on his return and there he would be for the Empire favorite. As the committee on resolutions was not ready to report an opportunity was given to all to offer resolutions which were referred without debate. Reso lutions poured in on the Cuban insur gents, Hawaiian republic, the Ar menians and all other foreign subjects. Mr. ifiackweil of Massachusetts offered a resolution "favoring the right of women to vote at all elections, and congratulating the women of Colorado and Wyoming upon their possession of the elective franchise. He also offered a resolution arraigning the adminis- tion for its 'Turkish policy. Mr. O'Driscoll of Maryland offered a reso lution which he said would change the Democratic states. It provided for a protective tariff, reciprocity, honest elections, gold, silver and paper on a parity, and an aggressive foreign policy. Air. f rank ureer of Ukianoma of fered the following: 1. vYe demand the free and unlimit ed coinage of the American silver product with a prohibitive tariff on the foreign product modified by finan cial reciprocity laws. f$ 2. We are opposed to the single gold standard inaugurated byGrover Cleve land and the Democratic party at .the dictation of England. We believe in absolute bimetallism the monetary system established and maintained by the Republican party gold, silver and paper circulating upon a parity one dollar the equal in all purchasing and debt-paying functions with every other dollar. 3. We believe in a tonnage tax, in addition to the regular protective tar iffs on all goods entering our ports in foreign vessels, that the American flag on an American marine may com mand supremacy upon the seas, dis placed by the blighted monopoly by England of the world's ocean carrying trade.

All next went to an open grave and there, after a funeral oration by a masked orator, interred a coffin supposed to contain "A Model High Scnool, aged 33, which reached an untimely end through Altgeld." It was after 2 o'clock when the crowd ceased yelling. CONFESSED THE MURDER Edward Anderson Tells How lie Murdered Swan Peterson. Erie, Kan., June 21.

JEFFERSON M. CLOUCH RE FUSES A TEMPTING OFFER FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. nu Health Was teatloa Too Poor to Admit Al to Business. (From the Springfield, Mass., Union.) There isn't a gun manufacturer in the United States, who does not know Jef ferson M. Clough. He nas been Intimate ly associated all his life with the de velopment of the Remington and Winchester rifles. For rears he was su perintendent of the E. Remington 4b Sons' great factory at llion. K. T. After leaving there he refused a tempt Ing off er of the Chinese government to go to China to superintend their gov ernment factories, and accepted in stead the superintendency of the Win chester Arms Co., at New Haven, at a salary of 17.500 a year. It was after this long term of active labor as a business man that he found himself incapacitated for further service by the embargo which rheumatism had laid upon him and resigned his position more than two years ago, and returned f to Belchertown, Mass.. where he now lives and owns the Phelps farm. Being- a man of means he did not spare the oast and was treated by leading- physicians and by baths of cele brated springs without receiving1 any benefit worth notice. During the sum mer of 1893 and the winter of 1894 Mr. Clough was confined to his house in Belchertown, being unable to rise from his bed without assistance, and suffer ing continually with acute pains and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain sufficient sleep. Early In the year 1894 Mr. Clough heard of Dr. Williams Plnjc Pills for Pale People. He began taking thes pills about the first of March, 1894, and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The first effect noticed was a better appetite and he began to note more ability to help him self off the bed and to be better gen erally. Last August (1S94) he was able to go alone to his summer residence and farm of 163 acres on Grenadier island, among the Thousand Islands, In the River St. Lawrence, wher from the highest land of his farm he commands a view for thirteen miles down the river, and Blxty of the Thousand islands can be seen. Instead of being confined to his bed Mr. Clough Is now and has been for some time able to be about the farm to direct the men employed there and he is thankful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for him. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. WUHajns' Medicine company, Sche nectady, X T.. and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 and are never sold In bulk. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mall from Dr. Williams' MedK cine company. Had the Figures Removed. The mother of Julia Kavanagh was a woman of great intellectual power and unusual force of character, but even when she was 60 years old she was ashamed of her age. One day she went with her French maid to the cemetery at Nice, to visit the tomb she had erect ed to her daughter. The two were standing beside the stone when the maid innocently read the inscription. Julia Kavanagh had then been dead seven years, and her age, 54, was of course, recorded. "Madam must be very old," remarked the maid. Old!" exclaimed Mrs. Kavanagh; "why should I be old? What do you know about my age?" "Mademoiselle was 54 when she died,' continued the girl, "and she has been dead some time. Therefore, madam must be very old" Mrs. Cavanagh said nothing, but next day she sent a mason to the cemetery, and had the tell-tale figures removed. K. E.
