NEW YORK , July 3. The Sun'a special
from London says : The most picturesque
canvass fer the parliamentary election that
hag been made for a long time Is now in progress -
gross In the tiny borough of Woodstock over
the question whether Lord Randolph Church
ill , the new sacrctary for India , shall bo
re-electou or shall give way to Corrie Grant ,
n young lawyer whom tha liberal ] saut down
from London to opposa him , It is a ladles'
battle on both sides. The campaign was t > o-
RUU by Lady Randolph Churchill , nee Mlsa
Jennie Jerome , last UUurday evening
by driving a tandem team through
the main streets of that plcturotquo oi'l
town with a skill and grace to ba expected of
the daughter cf the founder of Jorumo park.
The liberals quickly resolved to meet their
fair adversary on her own ground , and secured
tha services of Misies King and Adama , two
lovely young graduatas from Oxford. The
famous university city Is only n few miles
from , Woodstock , aud Oxonian influence ls
strong in the latter. Tin delightful canvass
ing of the lady graduates captured the popu
lace , and the tories began to give way. Lady
Churchill lost none 01 her courage and en-
orfry > but she saw something must
ba done to effect the influence of tbo
pretty giils from Oxford , and nho summoned
reinforcements. She obtained two charming
lieutenant * , Ltdy Kvelyn and Lady Jdith ]
Carson , youug daughters of the earl of Low ,
and sent them forth to dazzle the electors ,
The latter , Retting moro and sweeter blan
dishments than they ever dreamed of before ,
nrein n dilemma as to which of their fair milord
to favor. Grant is on the ground and ls
working night and day in his own interest.
The liberals say they are already sure of tha
support of a sweeping majority of 1,081 voters
on tha registry list ; the tories are nervous aud
imploring Iiurd Randolph to show himself
to the electors. Handy has thus f.ir
Droved obJunitn , aud hid inertness
strengthens the report that ho has bargained
with Ills wife , she Is to do all the work and
have all the glory of his campaign The re
sult will not make the slightest difference to
the now secretary except as a matter of senti
ment , for it is understood one of tha sitting
membord from a strongly conservative constit
uency In the city of London is all ready to
resign In Lord Randolph's favor , if need be ,
and will be rewarded with that prefix of ' 'air , "
which ii dear to the heart of every city magis
trate In Kngland ,
There has boon unusual activity about tha
foreign allies during tbo past few days , and it
ia rumored the marquis of Salisbury will have
a surprise to offer to parliament when it re
assembles next Monday. Quidnuncs are par
ticularly excited over the frequency of the
visits of Count Karolyl , Austrian ambassador ,
and Waddlngton , French ambassador.
TUB VITAL STATISTICS OF LONDON
show a fearful rate of mortality auiong In
sured infanta. The books of the insurance
companies show that deaths rata among in
fants who insured is much greater than the
general death'd rate for the same ages as pub
lished in the government reports. The latter
Include , of course , both insured and unin
sured infants. If the two classes could be separ
ated in the official reports so they could ba
compared , it is believed it would be shown
that tha mortality among Insured is CO per
cent greater than that among tha uninsured.
These facts strengthen the suspicion into con
viction that many infanta are deliberately
murdered for the sake of the insurance on
their lives. Insurance companies which ac
cept risks on infants' lives will insure none
but healthy children and conseqently the
mortality among them should naturally bo less
than among the general average of children ,
Some insurance companies seem to accapt the
conclusion that children murder is the causa
of this anomalous condition of affairs compla
cently and only seek to secure their own pro
fits under the additional risk by Increasing
their premiums. This operates ai a hardship
upon tha honest parents who insure their chil
dren's lives from worthy motives of prudence ,
The note of alarm baa been sounded by the
actuaries of more respectable insurance com
panies and echoed by many physicians. It
lias now been taken np by several medicil aud
legal newspapers , which are imploring parlia
ment to devido soiuo remedy for this growing
and horrible practice.
THE INSANITY DODGB.
Tin recent number of tba Lmcot has rnmo
comments on the result of the trial of Mrs.
Yseult Dudley for shooting O'Douovan Rossa
which ( lllfor widely from most of the com
ments of ICogllsh day journals. The latter
have rejoiced that a convenient excuse wai
found for acquitting thn woman , whoso only
olfanro was snooting on Iiith blatherskite , nnd
have hava not questioned or cared whether
eho was really incaiic or not. The Lancet , on
thn other hand , decides , on calm review of all
the evidence obtainable , that Mrs. Dudby
was quite eauo enough when sba fired her thot
to bj perfectly reepuoeiblo for her act , and it
deploroa the growing tendency to regard the
plea of insanity A * an excuse for crime or a
method to avert Its punUhinnnt.

UTE INDIAN OUTIUOES TIIACII ) TO A SENSA

Special Telegram to The HER.
WASHINGTON , July ,3. Adjt. Cen. ! Drum
bin received a report from Gen , Augur , dated
Fort Leavenworth , Kas. , Juno 20 , in regard
to the reported outbreak of Ute Indians in
Colorado. Gen. Augur says that Carlisle ,
from whom most of the sensational telegrams
emanate , is agent of an Laglish cittlo syndl-
cato'not one of whom , he 13 Informed , is an
American citizen or intends to be. Ha ia also
informed that the syndicate does not own the
land upon which Us cattle range , and that it
ia public laud. Gen. Augur Inclose * extracts
from tha Rocky Mountain Nowa , of
Denver , which say * that tha stories
about the Ute outrages , if not
entirely without foundation , ] are greatly ox-
aggoiatod. Possibly there has been some
truublo. the general thinks , but there is every
reason to beltova that it has been brought on
by tha cowboy ? , who have been spoiling for a
fight for tome time nnd , probablyfresolvod to
shoot all tbo Indiana found away from the
reservation. The report that whites and In
dians have been killed locks confirmation.
The Indian oflicohaa received no dlepatehcs
from tbo agent at the Ute reservation in Col
orado , touching the threatened outbreak nt
that place. Commissioner Atliins is inclined
to rcgud the publlshsd reports as grosa ex
aggerations of the facts circulated In further
ance of n schema to drive _ tha Ute Indiana
from the covctod reservation lands.
The foUonmg telegram relative to the
Ute Indiana WAS recelvcdat the war
department this afternoon from
Gen , Scofiold. Gen. Augur telegraphs the
following from Col. Bradley : "Col. Swain
telegraphs that the chief J promise not to make
any more reprisals for the killing of the Ute
family on the Dolores , He says full rations
should ba Issued immediately to those In
diana to prevent their leaving the reservation

the necessity for fcediug thojjo Indians EO as
to prevent tuom leaving their reservation Is
Imperative. It is impctrciblo to pravent

llK-Dolegato Ouray , of Arizona , and Mr.
Hughes , of that territory , called upon the
commissioner of Indian alfalfa today to urge
the disarming of tbu Indians of the ban Car
los reservation in Arizona , They expressed
the belief that thin mc.vuro if adopted would
prevent the conflict that seemed to be im
pending between the Indians now on the
reservation aud the white settlers. Com
missioner Atkins made a request
and proposition that the cowboya also be dis
armed and then proceeded to expound his
views upon the Indian question at some
length. He said he failed to see any reason
why cowboys should carry arms when Indians
were disarmed , and added that It waa entirely

CniCAao , July 3 , 0 A. M. The West Divi
sion Street Hallway company 1ms just started
n few cars from the barns on Western avenuo.
About n block from the starting point they
found tbo way barricaded with lumber and
gas plpoa piled upon the track , which the
pollco nro now engaged In clearing nway un
molested by thn mob , Fifteen patrol wagons
loaded with police ara placed along tbo street ,
and every street corner has a strong force of
police ,
S n , in. The street cars just reached Union
Park at Hoyno avenue. The strikers or sym
pathizers Rained access to n lot of shovels
which had been used by the gas pipe diggers
and piled n hugo pllo of dirt on the track ,
The foreman of the gas works gang took pos
session of the shovels and locked them up
after the striken , finished using thorn , so that
when the police arrived they found only
workmen present miuua shovels. The
police captain asked the men for their
shovels nnd on their replying that the foreman
had locked them up , the polios commenced
using their clubs and several of the gaa works
employes were terribly beaten , aoino having
their heads split open.
0:30 : A. a , Under the protection of the en
tire reserve police force of the city the six cars
sent out by the West Division railway suc
ceeded in making their way into the business
part of the city and encountered no opposi
tion beyond that mentioned at Uovno struct ,
which proved not very eoriouB , Cara wore
filled with policemen and in fact the entire
thoroughfare is liuod with policemen , and
west of Ashland avenue no vehicles of any
kind ara allowed upon the street. The police
have tnndo already more than one hundred
arrests of persons suspected of an Inclination
to impede the progress of the cars or who refused -
fused to obey tbo Injunction of the police to
quit the thoroughfara , Thoao were curted off
rapidly In patrol wagons to tbo
polica stations. The cara made the
raturu journey to the western avenue with
out any encounter , and were started east
again for another trip. Madison street along
its entlro length is filled with excited strikers
and their sympathizers , nnd curious specta
tors , The windows of buildings overlooking
the street are also filled with people , Out
side of this one street , however , there is no
semblance of excitement , and business is
being pursued without any apparent reference
to the strike or Its consenuances.
11:15 a , m. The street cars on their second
trip down town made the journey safely ,
The police , however , assummod the offensive
and arrested everybody making the first atgn
of desiring to create a disturbance , The fav
orite cry of on-Iookers iu the cars were pasa
Inc' appeared to ba "rats , " but
everybody indulged in the jeering
cry and detected it was imme
diately placed under arrest. It was gener
ally understood that the police had orders to
shoot which made the crowd , if
it had any' intention of becoming
unruly to hesitate about atticking.
When the cars began their return trip Mayor
Harrison appeared on the scene at the corner
of Halsted and Madison , on his gray charger ,
whore ha drew his horse to a standstill in the
middle of the street , and waving his hand to
tbo crowd , began to make a speech.
The polica have only been compelled to
make one serious rush BO far at Hoyne ave
nue , while clearing away the barricade erected
there , the crowd became very noisy ,
and aggressive. A number of gaa pipeo , hugo
boulders , barrels , beer kfga and every avail
able sort of debris were u < ed In obstructing
the track. The applause became so great that
tha newly employed drivers began to flee from
the care , and tbo strikers boxan to close upon
them before the police ran to their defense
and Captain JBonfield clubbed two uf the
strikers severlr over the head. One of the
Injured monPat Conway , Is supposed to have
had his skull crushed. Immediately
after this incident Capt. Bonfield cried ,
"Shoot the first man tint throws a itone ;
that's the ordor. " There were scenes of qx-
citoment all along the route on both the trips
made by the cars. Six men were sighted on
a one-story blacksmith ehop ,
whose appearanca was deemed threat
ening , and the police charged
through the building , currying them oif to a
man , although they claimed to bo merely
spectators. Great crowds had gathered at
various street corners , but by simply making
a show the streets were cleared by the police
without using their clubs. At Leavit street ,
Lieutenant Laughlln , with about twenty
men , made a detour 01 : the pa
trol wagons and surprised a lot of
active sympathizers placing obstructions
on the car tracks. These busy people , however -
over , cnupht sight of the blue coats just in
time to make their escape. Sjmo excitement
occurred at tha Dosplainea street station ,
whete the prisoners were loked up. ISail was
refused in all instances , and nothing rospeci-
° ng the prisoners would bo vouchsafed ,
1:30 : p. m , The street cars havn made the
third trip without molestation. The crowds
are not quite so dense , and the excitement
appears to have subsided. Nobody hut the
policemen , however , are riding upon the cars ,
and the company is not sending out any cars
except when thoroughly guarded , and Is not
attempting to lun cara on any street except
Madison ,
2:30 : p. m , The situation as affecting the
street car strikers hero Is unchanged up to
this hour. Madison street is still densely
crowded. The car company hai made no
practical progress toward accomplishing the
resumption of travel. The conductors hold a
conference with Mayor Uarrisou , but nothing
resulted from It. *
7 : 5 p.m.-Tho West Division Street Oar
company has taken all its cars from the the
track , and it It announced will make no fur
ther cforta ( to run them bef no Monday. The
company has taken this action , it Is under
stood , in view of the fact that to-morrow b < v
ing u holiday the ttrcels will ba crowded with
people , making ttie consequences of a possible
riot so much more serious , as tbo strikers will
ho greatly augmented by n number cf Idle
sympathizes , tending to add to the likelihood
of a disturbance , The cam having been with
drawn all Is quiet and no further disturbance
is anticipated to-night
At an open-air meeting of upwards of 3,000
strikers and sympathizers , which is still in
progress at 11 : SO o'clock , it was announced
that 1'atrick Conley , na aged engineer , who
was severely clubbed by Capt. UonOold , of
the police force , this morning , had died of his
Injuries. Thcugh the meeting was an orderly
one , great Indignation was expressed , some
speakers going so far as to say lynching was
the proper punishment for Mayor Harrison
and the members of the police force , who ,
acting under his orders , find offered such brut -
t l treatment toward inclFensha persons.
About 100 of 130 odd persons arrested to
day on account of the disturbance incidental
to the strike have been released on 9300 ball.
The balance were unable to furnish bail on
short notice nnd will probably remain under
arrest some days ,

PANAMA , July 3. Nowa comes from the
Atlantic coast that the parts of Barranquilln
and Savanilla are again in the hands of the
government forces the ravolutionists having
ijono , b.ij and baggage , up the river to some
point in the interior which cannot bo divined
with accuracy. There Is said to be no force
of any moment in the neighborhood of Bogota ,
and the capital would fall an asy capture to
the bold and energetic ravolutionists. The
capture of tha capital would not necessarily
signify the triumph of the revolution , but it
would Rive it a fresh impetus , arouse the dis
affected in other parts of the republij , and
kindle anew the fires of revolt. There are
others , however , who believe that the rebels
are bound for tha states of Santander and
Antloqua , where they can easily
secure a number of men among
the sympathizers. The only result of the
peace conferences was au inter-charge of pris
oners. Admiral Jouott has not yet returod
from Savanilla where ho has remained in hope
that he could be of service In arranging peace
between the belligerents , There is still much

to the p'nte ' mills , overcame the gatekeeper and
swarmed into tha mill. The engines were
stopped and the establishment closed. In the
afternoon the same programme was carried
out at the Cleveland rolling mills , the furnace
ind the blast situated on the flats , The Col
lins furnace , also the property of the Cleve

SMITH , AN OLD SCOUNDREL ,

More Attachments , Etc.
Noticing the name of n Boston gentleman -
man on the Fusion hotel register yester
day whom the Dec reporter know conld
toll him something of the Into L. L.
Smith's past career , nn Interview was
sought nnd obtained. The sum and eub-
Blanco of this gentleman's story i ; , that
ever slnco Smith loft home , when only
18 yoara of ago , ho has boon playing the
role of an export trickster , and has mora
than once been the perpetrator of
stupendous fraudt. Some yoara sgo
ho went to Atchlaon , Kansas , with a
heavy Boston firm backing him up , to
open an Immense boot and shoo home ,
but remained there only a few months
until ho collapsed to the tune of about
§ 70,000 , Bold ont aud How to the Domin
ion of Canada. Through an Ingenious
play however , the young man waa in-
duccd to visit Detroit , where a detective
arrested him. lie was taken to Boston ,
lodged In jail and remained there six
month * . The detective leninod thatSmlth
was tt Windsor , waiting for a woman
to follow him from Atchlaon ,
nnd a bogus letter , purporting to have
been cent by this woman , was mailed to
Smith , asking him to meet her in De
troit. Eventually Smith's friends suc
ceeded in eilectlug a compromise with
the Boston firm and got him released
from jail. From Boston ho went to
Chicago and engaged , as has heretofore
been stated , In the buckot-uhop bnalncaa
and wo a very successful , though it is pos
itively alleged that ho carried on a skin
came , being with the celebrated Flem
ing nnd Motism gang oE crooks.
It will bo remembered that this
man FJomiug , with another scoudrol
named Loting , were arrested
about a year ago for abusing
the United States mails , tried , convicted
and sentenced to servo a term of three
yoara each , In the penitentiary. Bnt by
SOLDO manipulation unknown to any but
those engaged In it , they were pardoned
before being transferred to the peniten
tiary. When this trouble came np Smith
opened a joint of his own nt 84 Li Sallo
street under the firm name
of Johnson & Co. While
there Smith received largo consignments
of flour and grain from the country ,
which he sold and forgot to pay for. The
firm of Johnson & Co. , failed , after
which Smith went in with F , W. Pallan
& Co. , and later with another outfit on
River street whoso sign read H. P.
French & Co. All this tlmo ho was
amassing quite a largo pllo of ill gotten
gains. The mills of Gordon , Baker &
Co. , at St. Loui ? , were worked
for a § 7,000 ateal which
they tried to recover by
bringing suit in the courts bat filled to
gob anything. About that tlmo Smith
jnlt operations there and came to Omaha ,
do had a female companion with him
icro , but not moro than two or three
leoplo in the town know ifSho left
Jmaba on Tnnraday before Smith went ,
and it is said that the money ho bagged ,
or the moat of it at least , was carried
away by her. This woman was of small
stature , pretty face , dark eyes ,
slack hair , and attractive , stylish
Iqure. They were never seen
together on the Direct. She lived In a
secluded part of the city , and wag very
quiet In all of her movements.
