Senator Ud- munds , from the committee on judi ciary , reported back favorably witl amendments the bill recently intro duced by him providing for the reor ganization of tho government of Utah. By tho terms of the bill tho existing election districts and apportionments of representatives for members of the territorial legislature are abolished and it is made tho duty of the governor , territorial secretary and board of com missioners , as soon as practicable after the result of the census is made known , to redistrict the territory and make : i new apportionment for legislative pur poses.

Alarm Over the ZTIontaita Outbreak. Washington , June 13. There is a great deal of alarm felt here about the Indian outbreak on the Rosebud agency in Montana , particularly as it is known that runnel's have been sent to the rel atives of these Indians at neighboring agencies asking them to join in a gen eral outbreak. The trouble grows out of the arrest of two or three Indians for the murder of an informer. The Indians have for many months given a great deal of trouble by killing cattle on the ranches in the neighborhood of their reservations , and much complaint has been made of them. Finally two or three , who were detected in the act of killing a steer , were arrested. A few days afterwards the man who in formed upon them was found murdered and half buried by the roadside. The clues led directly to a party of Indians , who were arrested and imprisoned at Miles City. • Their chiefs went to the agent and demanded the release of the prisoners , which of course was refused , whereupon the whole band at the agen cy broke out in rebellion. There are about eight hundred of these Indians in one section of Montana and among them about four hundred bucks , who are considered the best fighters of their race. They are the same northern Cheyennes who created so much trouble in 1879 , when , after having broken away from their agency in the Indian territory , they rushed across Kansas and Nebraska , leaving behind them a trail of fire and blood. It was one of the most dreadful Indian outbreaks that has ever occurred in this country , and there is fear that it will be repeated. Representative Carter of Montana was at the interior department to ask that the soldiers at Fort Keogh should be reinforced. The secretary of the interior said that he intended to nego tiate for the removal of the Indians to another reservation. Mr. Carter in formed the secretary of the interior that the governor of Montana had is sued arms to the cowboys and unless the Indians were quieted at once tho frontiersmen would take matters into their own hands and would not leave enough Indians to negotiate with. Con gress is to be asked to appropriate $5,000 to remove these Cheyennes to South Dakota. Maine Republicans. Augusta , Me. , June 13 The re publican state convention met yester day. Hon. Frederick A. Rowers of Houlton was made temporary chair man. Governor Burleigh was renomi nated by acclamation. Tho conven tion then took a recess pending the re port of the committee on resolutions. The platform was unanimously adopted at the afternoon session. It unreservedly renews the adhession of the republican party of Maine to the principle of prohibition of the liquor traffic and demands of congress the en actment of such legislation as shall en able each state to exercise full control within its borders of traffic of all li quor , whether imported in original packages or otherwise ; favors a policy of protection , liberal pensions , free bal lot and free count ; all measures for-na- tional defense and the revival of Amer ican commerce ; regulation of immigra tion to prevent the introduction of con- riot and pauper labor and criminal slasses ; unreservedly commends the administration of 'President Harrison ind pledges to it its earnest and faith ful support ; recognizes the magnificent lontest made by the republicans in tho aouse of representatives for the ma jority to transact the business of the country under the leadership of Speaker Reed , "who has , by his courageous lischarge of his duty , done honor to ihe state and a great public service to the country.

It will be commenced simultaneously at every point along the line touched by any other railroad. - * At the present time there are 130 miles under construction i Nebraska , eighty of which have been complete and are now equipped. The road will be opened to O'Neill , Neb. , on July 10. All the preliminary surveys have been made in Wyoming and it is claimed by the officers that $300,000 has already been expended. By the new road the distance between Sioux City and Ogden will be decreased about one hun dred miles. The Ilawkeyc Jltirrlrauc. Dns Moines , la. , June 14. Late&t intelligence of the cyclone which struck Wapello , Louisa county , Tuesday night , says eleven houses were destroyed and a number of persons were woundedbut none killed. The storm was severe and came from northwest to southwest in the shape of a black , whirling , cone- shaped cloud that bounded and zig zagged in a dozen different directions. The worst of the destruction was com pleted in less than a minute. There was no chance to escape. The build ings of the Louisa county agricultural society were lh-bt struck. Tlie judge ' s stand , amphitheater , iloral hall and two smaller buildings were totally de stroyed and scattered in all directions. Mrs. Ruth Briggs' residence was de stroyed by small buildings crashing through the roof. Mro. Briggs and her daughter were slightly hurt by fall ing timbers. . The residepces of Silas Bryant and O. W. Ives followed. Mi's. Bryant and Ives' wife and children were slightly injured. Ives' house was completely swept away , only the floor being left. The barns of Michael Roos , J. Ilick- lin and B. P. Weston were destroyed. There was some stock in them , but it all escaped. The Hydraulic mills were wrecked and the owner B. II. Druse , injured about the head and face. Other buildings were more or less wrecked. The creamery and canning factorv and the residences of Michael Roos , John Tyler , J. H. Hicklin , B. P. Weston being among the number. Trees were uprooted and fences carried away. , The Montana Ind-ian Outbreak. St. Paul , Minn. , June 14. General Ruger , commander of tho department of Dakota , has advices from Tongue River , Custer and Keogh that the In dians are excited over the shortage of subsistence and that settlers are alarmed , but he has no information of an uprising and does not believe in the number of murders reported. The four companies of cavalry at Tonguo River will be reinforced by three of in fantry to-morrow. General Ruger says the military on the ground can easily cope with the Indians. A Billings , Mont. , dispatch says : It is reported that a man named Mayor was killed by Indians at Tongue River. The Indians are killing cattle by hun dreds. It is reported from Rosebud county that three ranch el's were burned out and their houses shot into. A posse of cowboys left Rosebud last evening to drive the Indians back on the reser vation regardless of the military. Canadian Crops. Toronto , Ont. , June 14. Crop re ports for every section of the country are most encouraging. The outlook in Ontario is generally good , but much depends upon the weather during the next few weeks. Winter wheat suf fered for want of snow and excess of rain , and in some places will not aver age much over half a crop. Spring wheat looks very well , particularly on high land. Corn is backward and tho acreage of barley is below the average. Hay will be a magnificent crop in quantity , though a little poor in qual ity. In Quebec everything is back ward. Manitoba takes a cheerful view of things , and expects an immense wheat crop. Decided Against an Increase. Washington , June 14. The senate committee on finance has decided against an increase of the duty on im ported tobacco used for wrappers , which is a matter of great importance I to tho cigar manufacturers of the west. | The tobacco growers of Connecticut , i Pennsylvania , Virginia , Kentucky , l Wisconsin and other states succeeded in inducing the house committee on tvays and means to nearly double the luty on Sumatra tobacco , but the inI I jrease has been vigorously resisted by . the manufacturers. The senate com- nittee has decided to leave the duty as , it is. Census Enumerator1 * fa Hard Llnet. Washington , June 14. Porter , superintendent of the census , has been informed by the census supervisor of ; he Fifth district of Pennsylvania that : he Hungarians , Poles and Italians in Lackawanna , Luzerne and Carbon coun- : ies have refused to give any census inI I ormation , even to interpreters. Many { ) f these men are designated by number j inly. The supervisor suggests a cenI I rus by numbers. Porter replied , ref us- ' xxg to adopt tho suggestion , saying the jensus office will not help to perpetuate i brutish state of affairs , and instructed , lim to obey the law fully. ' * THE UNEASY INDIANS. ATTITUDE OF THE CllEYESSES OF A MEXACIXO CltAltACTEU.

Chcyenucft Ready for War. Miles Crrr , Mont. , Juno 14. The ' attitude of tho Cheyenne Indians con tinues menacing , though no overt act has occurred since the killing of Fer guson. Owing to tho fact that the Indians have left their reservation and are scattered over tho country in small parties , settlers are thoroughly alarmed and are sending women and children into tho towns in largo num bers. Indian lookouts are on all high points and are constantly signalling by mirror flashes and tho blanket code. Friendly Indians have reported to tho whites that there is to be an outbreak and that they are now making medi- cide , which is generally accepted to mean they are waiting to bo joined by allies from Standing Rock , Sioux and Pine Ridge Cheyennes , to whom messengers have been sent. At the agency of Rosebud , Major Carroll of the First cavalry has three troops of cavalry , and a troop of cav alry and three companies of infantry left Fort Keogh yesterday to proceed up tho Rosebud and co-operate Avith him. him.In In compliance with tho request of the sheriff of this county 100 rifles and 10,000 rounds of ammunition arrived here yesterday in charge of Colonel Curtis , aide to Governor Toole. The sheriff expected the arms to bo turned over to him for issuance to the settlers , but Colonel Curtis will not do so unless in case of a great emergency , which he is not satisfied now exists. It has been arranged for Colonel Curtis and Stock Inspector Smith to go to Cheyenne agency and confer with Major Carroll , and on their return report the situation to the governor. The Indians are all well armed with Winchester rifles and government am munition while the ranchers and cow boys are unarmed. Calf branding and rounding up has been entirely stopped owing to this fact. If tho Indians could be disarmed and put back on their reservation , the settlers could take care of themselves , but in the present condition of affairs there seems to be nothing for them to do but to abandon their homes and business and congregate in the towns. Tlie AVorld' Fair. Chicago , Juno 14. Governor Fifer has called a special session of the Illi nois legislature for July 23 to facilitate arrangements for the world's fair at Chicago. The matters which the gov ernor directs the general assembly to consider are as follows : 1. The submission to the electors of the state at the November election , A. D. 1S90 , of a proposition to amend the state constitution so as to authorize the city of Chicago to increase its bonded indebtedness to an extent not exceed ing $5,000,000 , the proceeds thereof to be used in aid of the said world's Col umbian exposition authorized by said act of congress. 2. The passage of such legislation as may be necessary to authorize the use or occupancy of any public ground , park or area for the location of the said world's Columbian exposition as may now or hereafter belong to or be under the control of the state of Illinois , the city of Chicago or the South Park com missioners , West Chicago park com missioners and Lincoln park commis sioners of the city of Chicago , or either of the said park commissioners re spectively , and to authorize the issu ance of park bonds for the extension or improvement of such public grounds for the use or in the aid of the world's Columbian exposition. 3.

Edensbukg , Pa. , June 14. Notwith standing the fact that over one year has jlapsed since the flood at Johnstown in , vhich thousands of lives were lost and nillions of dollars worth of property lestroyed by the bursting of the dam ) f the South Fork fishing and hunting : lub , no suits , either criminal or civil , lave been brought against the club in lie Cambria court as threatened just j lfter the terrible disaster. i A short time after the flood a fund , ' , vas raised in Johnstown for the pur- [ lose of making a test case against the , : lub in the courts here. The case was ilaced in the hands of several Johns- own attorneys and the legal aspects of | he case considered by them , but noth- [ ng was ever done. I It seems highly improbable , at this ate date , that the club will ever be , ' > rosecuted , at least by the sufferers n Cambria county , for maintaining ' he fatal dam. ' Not Open to Settlement. Washington , June 14. Senator , 'addock has received a letter from the ' cting commissioner of Indian affairs a response to an inquiry from David Jill of Hebron , Neb. , asking when he Cherokee strip will be open to omesteading. Acting Commissioner * f ] V Boll says that tho Chcrokeo strip oi\ \ ) outlet is not open to public sottloment J v in any shapo whatovor , but by tho 14th section of tho act of March 2 , 1889i provision is mado for tho appointment , , j of a commission of three persons to ; ji negotiate with tho Chorokeo Indiana J and all other Indians owning lands in ( < tho strip for tho cession of all their , claims and interests to tho UnitedJ ( t States ; that any and all ngreomontsj , 1 concluded by tho commission with tho j | Indians must bo roported to the presi-j M dens and by him to congress at its noxtj * i | session and to tho councils of tho In- ; * ' * dian nations agreeing , for ratification.j ! j This will rcquiro further action on thot . it part of congress and tho opening ofi i ; j the strip is contingent upon tho ac-j Vf ceptanco by tho Indians of $1.25 per. * j\ \ acre for their lands. After congres-J M sional action tho presidential procla- ifJ mation will bo necessary to open the ; t * v lands to sottloment. The commission ; jl * is now engaged on its negotiations. v KcMtilt of tho Investigation of the , * ) Civil Service Commission. / | Washington , Juno 16. The house \J committco on reform of tho civil ser- \i vice , which during tho present session 11 of congress conducted an investigation ( j into tho charges filed against tho civil' ' 1n > service commission , havo agreed upon } ji , a report which will bo presented to | l ; the house. Tlie committee finds that ) / > Commissioners Roosevelt and Thomp- ! ) ' son havo discharged their duties with. i entire fidelity and integrity , but thatj 1 • tho ofiuvil conduct of Commissioner ! j j Lyman has been characterized by laxity "il 1 of discipline in tho administration ofi j' j the affairs of the commission and is / j therefore censurable. 11 Regarding the caso of Alexander | . Campbell , Commissioner Lyman's ; ( ji brother-in-law , the committco says it | j was clear that Campbell copied the j j questions furnished to Flynn , who gavo ' , instructions to persons desiring exam- { I inations , and that the questions were \ \ not obsolete. "Campbell should havo 1 j been dismissed. His retention indi- i ! cated gross hixity in discipline , and his J ] promotion would" seem not to havo been { ' defensible. Tlie committee cannot ac- j cept as satisfactory tho answers of \ M Messrs. Oberly , Lyman and Doyle that { ! they believed tlie questions obsolete. i V The omission to ascertain the truth , ' J ' \ was as reprehensible as to have disre- J • garded it after it had been ascertained. ! J ; \ The committco does not share tho \ opinion that Commissioner Roosevelt' j and Thompson are deserving of censure , ! for not having taken action in the ' j Campbell case when their attention ( • I was called to it. It was stated to theni S , I that the matter had been fully investi- J ' .i gated and in not taking further action > \ \ the committee thinks they were thor- A ) j oughly justified. L fc Respecting the course of the com- | ] | mittce in the ca.se of Shidy , tho Mil- / ! t waukee postoffice employe , who was \ \ discharged by ex-Postmaster Paul for / > 'j exposing frauds , the committee says it \ \ J was apparent to the commission that I Ik Shidy was being punished for disclos- / . i ing the truth and they felt it their duty ! ) \ \ to aid him by their influence in seeur-i ( . ' ; • ] ing employment and therefore recom- \ \i \ mended him for appointment to the. -J p census office. The committee is unable r j ] io find anything to criticise in that mat- J j ter. J , i | | The investigation of tho alleged ir- J regularities in the Milwaukee post- * , J | office was conducted by Messrs. Doylo f tf and Webster and disclosed an utter dis- ' ] ] regard for the civil service law in that • j office. The failure to submit the result , I'M of that investigation to the president , J indicated a disinclination to discharge i 61 an obvious duty for fear that such a re- " < ' \ port would subject the postmaster to i ! | censure.
