[ Special Telegram to the UIE. ] The report received here yester day that Colorow and his band were .sur rounded nnd wanted peace Is denied to-day. It appears from reports just received that Colorow has the mllltta surrounded * near Coyote Basin and Is dictating terms to the troops. He emphatically declares that If the militia does not go back there will bo able fight. Ho positively refuses to return to Ulntah agency , and says he will die before ho will leave the White River country.

His horse wore nut , and In attempting to escape no stumbled nnd throw him Into the brush where ho remained until morning and then made his way to Meeker. If an engagement can bo averted until Governor Adams and Colorow have a pow wow the trouble may be settled but If the hot-headed cowboys and Inexperienced militia push a light upon the Indians before this a long and bloody war may be expected.

J The case of .Justice Cronoy and Constable Jordan , of Oskaloosa , arrested for refusing to permit Revenue 0Ul cer Klrkpatrlck to see certain kegs of beer In their possession , came up before United States Commissioner Jordan yesterday and was decided to-day. It appears that the con stable had made a seizure of beer , bringing the cases Into Justice Croney's court. Klrk patrlck went to Crouoy and asked to see the kegs , saving that ho understood they were not properly stamped. Croney and Jordan both put him otf nnd Iinally refused to lei him see the beer unless ho could show hi authority. Marshal Ktheridge was adrlfed nnd arrested the parties. The defense argues that no refusal was made , ana that beer In thu hands ot a court is not taxable , therefore the olllcer had no right to Inspect It.

Georgia's Penitentiary Convicts U hipped In a Terrible Manner. ATLANTA , Ga. , August 20. [ Special Tele gram to the BKE.I The convict lease system of Georgia appears to be doomed. By an ex ecutive order , signed under great excitement , General Gordon has called on the lessees ot penitentiary companies No. 2 and 3 to show cause why their leases should not bo an nulled. Thcso companies are principally formed of James W. English , William B. Loire and James M. Smith. Several days ago the governor received an anonymous letter signed "Convicts , " which declared that the1 convicts were being whipped because they made known the existing abuses , and asked that the matter bo Investigated. From the postmark It was ascertained that the let ter came from the camp under the charge of C. C. Blngham , on the Georgia Midland road. Principal Keeper Towers at ouco proceeded there , hud the men called up In line and sttlpped of their clothing. The backs of four men were found to be cut and bruised lu a terrible manner , as though knives had been used to open the lltish. Governor Gordon read tlio report with Indignation aud at once signed an order dismissing Bingham from any service tn which the state was Interested nnd ordering the solicitor gen eral to prosccuto him for bis crimes Active steps are being taken to protect the convicts from the rage of the lessees , and It Is said that Principal Keeper Lovers took personal charge of camp No. 2. The sup pressed repoit of Prison Physician Wast- inorolnmi , which was nude to Governor Me- Daniel In 18 % ) , and which the governor would lot allow to bo made public , was yesterday Iven to the press. It Is a shocking recital .f tilth and crime , nnd will help to swell the demand for the abolition of the leasn system. There Is no doubt as to the governor's Inten- Ion to declare the lease annulled , owlne to .he violation of its provision by the lessees. The lessees are making strenuous efforts to avert the blow which Is falling upon them , but the governor Is determined In his course , jacked by thi public opinion of the state and ndoised by personal assurances of members if the legislature. The Dade coal mine : amp , which belongs to company No. 1 , jwued by Governor Brown , Is not complained - plained of , but It will have to share In the wreck. THH DltliaSKt ) HKI3F RING. Tto Manner In Which It In Profiting By the Low Price of Cattle. CHICAOO , August 20. ( Special Telegram ; o th BEE. I "ThoDressed Beef King ; How t has ProtUed bv the Low Price of Cattle , " Is .ho . heading of a sensational article In o-day's Tribune. It says : "It Is assumed In many quarters that a beef famine Is not far away. Estimates as to the destruction of cat- le In the northwest last winter are that In Montana there were about 400,000 liead. In Idaho about 100,000 , In iVyomlng about 300,000 , In Colorado about 50,000 , or 850,000 head In all. During , he summer , on account ot the excessive drought , the estimated losses in beef produc- ng states , such as Illinois , Iowa , Ohio , Mis souri , Kansas and In New Mexico , Texas , Nebraska , Minnesota and Dakota , swell the otal to 1,500,000 head of beeves. Many as- iert , however , that these ( inures are far too ileb. But this Is not the main fact which In dicates a future famine. It Is now known hat from 50 to 75 per cent less of calves were born this spring than Is usual , owing to cli matic causes , which must have Its effect In time. To this must be added the fact that cattle producers have boon rushing tholr sur viving stock on the market at an unparalleled rate , and that from these and other causes many ranchmen are discouraged , und are going out ot business. A great uneasiness , such as never before characterized the cattle business , Is manifest In business circles. The market prlco has been low on account of the glut , for In Chicago alone over 200,000 head of cattle have been thrust on the market during the last thirty days. Only the commission man with his hands full of business seems nappy. The stockyards were never In a state of greater activity. The receipts in a single day have been 13,500 head of cattle , the largest known. The yards are overflowing with stock , money is tn great demand and nrlces are regulated to tha necessity for cash of the producer. While some beeves are In a line condition , the generality are thin and thirst-starved stock. Reports of losses by drought in the Panhandle region of Texas of 5UO head per day cause much concern amone southwestern men. Sam Allerton says theru was a general loss of from 50 to 00 per cent on all cattle north of the PI at to river and predicts disaster to the vast ranch Interests ot the northwest unless the admin istration changes Its methods of dealing with ranchmen. " The article continues : "Ono thing that Impresses the consumer Is that he gets beef no cheaper because the producer sells It for so little. Who Is it gets the bin sum In between the price paid by the producer and the consumer ? It Is hinted bV ranchmen that It la the dressed beet monopoly. The 1 ntcr-.stato commereo laws have no terrors for these dressed beet men. The low price of bent Is their opportunity. It they fall to keep beef down they will quickly purchase all that is offered for future delivery. These monopolists lash both sides , producer and consumer alike. They make fortunes on all this panic among cattlemen. On every bull ock there Is a profit of SIO to the dressed beef monopoly and either a loss or an even thing for the producer. The consumer pays the monopoly the extra 110 profit. " WHAT A DIIKSSED 1IEEP MAN SAYS. NKW YoitK , August 20. Ono of the promi nent dressed beef men In this city said to-day regarding the sentiment printed by a Chicago cage paper that a beef famine was eminent : "There Is no probability of any beef famine , as the market Is largely overstocked now. Thu Immense overstock Is duo largely to the fact that more men are raising cattle than ever before. Three or four years are the price of beef was very much higher than It Is now and there was a biz rush Into the cattle raising business. The result Is now shown. There are too many people engaged In cattle raising , and the prlco lias been put so low there Is no money In It. The rush now Is to get out and In consequence they can't get good prices , in a few years history will very probably bo repeated. As I think the price will KO up again when fewer cattle nre brought to market It is also true that a good many cattle are In poor condition , but at the same time there Is plenty of good beef in the market. IUVEII IMPItoVKMENTS. Major Handbury of the V. 8. Engi neers Expresses His Opinions. CHICAGO , August 20. Referring to the re cent call Issued froiuPeorla for a convention to consider improvements In the Illinois river and connecting lake Michigan with the Mississippi river , Major Handbury of the United States engineers said to-day : "It Is a right movement and I hope It will be pro ductive ot good results. What Is now wanted Is an appropriation to connect the river with the lake and thereby complete a navlgablo w-torway the Importance of which cannot be overestimated. The only fear I have of Its defeat Is that the politicians who are riding the Honnepln hobby will not permit It to go through without being saddled with their pet schemes. If they would only have the good sense to hold oir a little It would be all the better for them , for the llennepln canal can never b < a success until this connection with the lake U established ; that Is the iirst thine to be done. " . , Really , " continued Major Handbury , "I think the citizens are right In taklnc up this matter. It concerns not only the state of Illi nois but all the states bordering on the Mis sissippi , either one of which will bo beno- fitted by the successful outcome of the pro ject.

DEFEATED IN THE COMMONS. Gladstone's Besolutfon Negatived By a Vote of 272 to 104 , GENERAL DEBATE INDULGED IN. Ilarconrt Thlnka the Government Wl hes to Strike the League Becomes It IB Becoming Knthcr InconTcnlent. The Resolution Negatived. LONDON , August SO. In the commons to night Sir George O. Trovelyan , one of the late Gladstonelto recruitsresumed the debate on Gladstone's motion , lie said the late government did not ask the commons to pus the Irish crime * bill on hearsay , but that they based tholr demands on parliamen tary returns ot grave outrages that had boon committed 7,780 , outrages during the pre vious year and twenty-six agrarian an d political murders during the llrst half ot the year. Sir George contended that the house should have tabulated statistics of crime In Ireland and that to mention ono crime hero and another crime there was 'not sufllc.lent to justify such action as the government was now taklnc against the whole Irish people. He denied that the general operations of the Irish Na tional league Increased the crime In Ireland or led to general non-payment of rent Let thn house understand , he continued , that If the proclamation of the league Is sanctioned every Irishman who will not leave It at the command of the government will be liable to be punished as a common criminal and ttiat liability will not depend on any judicial pro ceeding worthy of the name. In conclu sion he complained that the statements made by Italfour , chief secretary for Ireland , and only given out last night , left no time for ex amination of their character. Sir K. E. Webster , attorney general , held that the reason why th re wore not more convictions for crime In Ireland was simply because of the terror of the league. lie re minded the house that Earl Spencer's gov ernment had repeatedly proclaimed the laud league meeting and that Sir George Trev- elyan had supported thosn proclamations on the ground that the objects ot the land league were to put down landlordism and to ollect a separation between Ireland and England. The objects of the existing league , said the speaker , were ttio same. The government would now try the experiment whether sunpieuslon of the leagun meetings would not lessen Intimidation. They were told this would bo a death struggle. Well , either the league or the government would go down. T. Harrington said the league would eo on doing what It had done In spite of the procla mation , which bad no terrors for the Irish people. of JLord Hartlngton , replying to Sir George Irevelyan , said In substance that RS far as the notion of an association was wholly polit ical It could not be condemned , but If the action of an association destroyed the liberty of the people and subverted order and good government It did not maUer.what the supposed motives of the association were. It was enough that Its action wi\s \ hostile to social order. The house had already decided that Intimidation prevailed preventing persons from pursuing their law ful occupations. It was not the duty ot the government to lay before parliament the In formation desired by the opposition. The crimes act was now a part of the law. The action was taken by the government as an executive. It was not necessary to produce evidence In support ot executive acts. Ho believed that the league's aim was spoliation and Injustice , and that Its methods were in defiance of law. Sir William Vernon Harcourt said Lord Hartlngton's support of the government was certainly not of the most cordial character. Ills concluding argument was weak because this executive act would have actually per ished unless It had parliament's ap proval. The government wanted to strike the league because It was Inconvenient to them , adverse to their political opinions and to the pecuniary Interest ) of the class they represented , and It was characteristic ot them that the lirst person struck was an Irish member of parliament and editor of an Irish newspaper. Goscheu argued that the league was the outcome ot the growth of the Land 16ague , which the liberals had proclaimed. There was nothing in any country of the world that could equal the fearful system of es- polnago carried on under the auspices of the the league. Mr. Dillon : "I utterly deny that a system of espotnage Is carried on by the league. " Goschon : "Then I should like to know how everything happened to be brought to the knowledge of the local branches of the league , Amulo evidence has proved the ex istence of a system for Indicting material ruin and moral death on many Individuals. It Is not surprising ihat tho. gov ernment la unable : to trace the connection of the league with outrages when large bodies of men are able to commit out rages and leave no clue to their Identity. There Is strong erounds to suspect that a powerful organization Is behind them. llealey , who ended the debate , counselled the Irish people to have confidence in the good Intentions of the English people and to wait patiently , abstaining from violence. Mr. Gladstone's resolution was negatived 273 to 194. It was stated to-night that the Government Intends to propose on Monday a modulation of the cloture rule with a view to expediting the passage of the supply bill. The English Wheat Crop. LONDON , August 80. The London Times says about the English crops : Wheat comes out as the best crop ot the year , as was to bo expected. It is not so great a crop , however , as a few weeks ago a few enthusiasts were hoping for. The cold winter and sprint , and thn absenceof rain when the plant was young , were bound to have tholr eifect , and thus It happens that in wheat tlio crop , though food , Is not an extraordinary one. Wo may put wheat as producing a crop of a little over 9,000,000 quarters. This will leave us dependent on foreign supplies nt least 17- 000,000 and probably IU.000,000 quarters , for It must not bo forgotten that the shortness ol the potato crop will cause a greater demand than usual for broadstults. Thn Czar At Copenhagen. COPEHHAOEN , August 20. The czar and czarina and family arrived hereto-day In the Russian Imperial yacht. The trip from St. Petersburg was prolonged by a fog.

In reply to a question as to whether he expected to beat the govern ment to-night , said : "No ; we can't exper to do that , but the fact that a year ace the government majority was 110 , while now the most sanguine conservative only anticipates a majority of sixty on proclaiming the league , shows what a tremendous change has come over the face of the country.

Cleveland Is all torn up over the Sunday base ball playing question. In eighty-eight games Thompson , of the Detrolts , ono of the Hk Four , failed but eight times to hit at least once safely. John II. Brady , a brother of Stove Brady , the old right Holder of the Metropolitan club , has been made a league umpire. The eastern papers are now praising Harry Wright's abilities as a muuacer , puttlnz him only second to Alison as n disciplinarian. Manager Hart , of the Milwaukee Base Ball club , has signed Louis Sylvester , the St. Louis Brown's utility man , to play lu the Milwaukee's outlield. The Boston Herald thinks Chicago will bo forced to rely considerably on Van llaltren and Baldwin this trip because ot the condi tion of Clarkson'b arm. Manager Gallnoy thinks the leagim made a treat mistake when It allowed Ferguson to slip through its fingers. Ho considers Doascher and Ferguson the only competent umpires the league over had. Among the pitchers who will probably retire tire at the end of thu season are Weidman , o the"Mets"Klrby-bf the Clevnlaiids , am Shaw , of the Washtngtons , or else they will have to Improve their playing. Detroit's club la winning oucomlums nil over the country for gaining so many games n the face of the fact that the manager , iro'ldout. board of directors nnd the local re- lorters all have a say In the way the team hall play. It Is surprising to sco pitchers kick on called bails and strikes when they know that ho decisions cannot bo changed and there s nothing to be sained bv It On the con- rary they usually prejudice the umplio's tuUmout against them. Darling , of the Chlcagos , has nno of the test actual batting averages of the league o . Ho was n haw but lucky hitter of the ntornatloual association. In his last four gamus ho madu eleven hits , lie has played n twenty-six games. The Now Yorks load the league both in bat ing and base running , yet why the team does not hold a better place Is not easily ox- ilalned ; but then It would bo equally as lard to uxulaln why they did not win the pennant In 18S5. when thov then won the series from nil the ether clubs , led In both mttltig artd llehlliiB , and their ultchors had ho best records.

Still Mr. York continued to express his desire to get th bet. In the ninth Inning lib desire suddenly ceased. It was caused by n foul tip from Richardson's bat striking him In the eye nnd sending him to grais for a time. Mr. York will not bo able to see for a few days. Northwestern Amateur Scullers.

( Special Telegram to the BEE. | The McGarlgle escape , by which the county jail lost ono of Its most eminent citizens and Canada gained another expert money handler , has already begun to fade away from the busy public mind , and as It slowly gains nge little things are de veloping which make the story of the escape more complete. The ono Chicago man who followed McGarlgle as a friend and commis sioner from his wife to Canada and held a long conversation with him , was ox-Alder man J 1m Appleton.

The facts In this trip were told , however , by Appleton - ploton himself In a burst of confidence to-day and are published at leneth to-ulght. Among other things Appleton says McGari.lo said to him : "Jim , no one can understand my position because no one knows how this thing weighed me down.

I worked up the scheme to escape myself , und whnt help i secured from the outside was done by friends who did not really know J was going to escape , although they of course surmised it. I gave them to understand that they should not ask too many questions , ns It would not bo proper for them to know what I was doing , but only to do my bid- dine.1' "Did ho say who assisted him ?
