for fear of killing Anderson as well as them
selves hi the curbing sinking. Tm\v were
so near the man that Anderson
said h < ; could sco their light
and askul them not to extinguish
it but lea\o it there for him to look at. As
no ono was willing to work longer In the

a few minutes lost all hope. II. Archer ,
another experienced well digger living ten
miles away , was sent for and on his arrival
wnt into the wull to talk with Anderson

Hiu.J : Lieutenant Mallery and a detach
ment of soldiers , who word detailed about a
month ago to investigate the complaints
made by the Winnebago Indians that the
herders on the reservation were trespassing
on unleascd lands , have completed their
investigations. Some of the smaller herders
whoso stock wcro allowed to run promiscu
ously , were ordeied off the reserve. The
larger herds will remain for the present un
less further complaint is made. Tlio enclosed
pastures , I ho leases for which are npptoved
by the interior department , will not bo mo
lested. Parties running these herds should
bo extremely c-troful not to allow their cattle
to trespass on Indian crops , as any further
trouble would probably cause a general evic
tion of the herds , which would bo very dis-
nr-trous , notionly to the herders , but to stock

SrOKVNL F.ii.1,9 , W. T. , July 21. [ Special
Telegram to TJIU HIM : . ] The discovery of an
arch ( plan/ mine six miles from the town of
Paloubo , in thu famous agricultural mid
blue grass valley of the P.douse , has caused
much excitement in the neighborhood. The
country along liuby crook was once rich in
placer mines and it was while walking on tin
old claim that a minor named Orirk made
the discovery. Ho was digging up earth to
wash In the sluice boxes and when about six-
foot below the surface ho cnmo upon a broad
Ktrnlii of quartz. All the assays yielded sil
ver and n small expedition set out for the
scene of the new discovery. A small quan-
tlty of the quart/ was brought 10 Palouso mid
when the assay reports gave seventy-two to
scvont-oight ounces pf silver the wildest cx-
clloment soon took possession of the people.
F.very man who could find a saddle horse ,
pi'-k and shovel , enuoil with the visions of
mineral riches , dashed over the mountains
for llio scene of the now discovery. In a
short time Palouso was deserted save the
women and children. Ueturning parlies re
port that fully 500 men are now on the
grounds , and very little digging hi ought the
happy owner of a mine down upon the shin
ing metal. The ledge is fifteen foot wide and
is trai. * . ! for a distance of live miles. Disputes
and claim Jumping have already commenced ,
and this is the minor's Htiougest argument in
favor of a rich discovery.

The enato has passed the house bill estab
lishing terms of the United States court to
be held at various points In Nebraska , Tlio
bill wac amended by the senate committee
sons to strike out all that portion dividing
the state Into divisions , also by dropping
Kearney na one of the places named In the
bill ns it passed HIP house. The bill , as It
was finally passed by the senate , is similar
to the ono whit h was introduced by Mr. Dor-
soy and passed In the Fortjninth congress
naming Omaha , Lincoln , Hastings and Nor
folk as points at which terms of the court
shall be hold. Judge Dnndy made serious
opposition to the adoption of the bill which
was passed to day. He dunned that there
was not sulliciout business to Justify the
changes. Tlio committee , however , agreed
that there should be terms held at Omaha ,
Lincoln and Hustings , and then Senator
Iniidcrson and Mr. Dorse.y appealed before
ho committee and argued that the
) oints in the Third district should
lot bo dropped from the bill
ml that they should have considera-
ion. They were asked to name theme
mo point in the Third district where they
.vishod terms of the court held , the commit-
co stating that it would retain ono of the
points mentioned. They declined to do this ,
iinil said that they would insist that the re
sponsibility should rest with the committee.
They added that they would show why both
loints should bo retained in the bill. The
ommltteo by a bare majority agreed to nmuo
Norfolk as the additional point for terms of
court. The bill will now go to the confer
ence committee , mid Mr. Dorsey promises
' .a the house committee on judiciary Hint it
, vill demand the live places named in the bill
, is it originally passed tile house. The house
committee on Judiciary fools that the senate
committee on Judiciary has treated its rceom-
nendiitlons in this mid a number of other
: ourt bills without any consideration what

Till : INDIANS CANNOT CiO.
Secretary Vilas has countermanded the
order of the commiss'oncr ' of Indian affairs
permitting fifty Indians at the Kosebud
igcncy to attend the louninn at Norfolk ,
Nob. The secretary gives as his reason for
iimcelling the order that a commission has
been appointed to treat for the opening of
the Sioux reservation in NcDraskn and Da
kota and that It is necessary that all Indians
on the reservation shall bo ut their homes at
the tiuio when the soldiers' reunion is to bo
held. It is probable that the Indians now
with the Wild West -show will bo ordered
back to their homes for the same reason.

WA tnv.roN , July 21. Tliero was a full
meeting of the scnalo finance committee this
norniiigmid mi hour was devoted to the in-
'ormal discussion of the line of action in re-
vard to the tariff. Nothing was determined ,
but at the time of adjourning thorn was an
inderstmidmg that the republican majority
f the committee would gut together mid see
f an agreement could not bo reached in re
gard to a measure to lie submitted as a sub
stitute for the Mills bill. If successful in
his a nioasuro is likely to be laid before thu
- . publican caucus , and when shaped to meet
my eonllicting views which may bo devel
oped there , It will bo laid before the demo
crats of the llnanco eommittoo mid by them
before the democratic caucus for the consid
eration of a line of policy on their part.
The republican members of tlio committee
remained in conference ) nearly an hour after
their democratic colleagues withdrew , ami
[ lilting the afternoon there were frequent
conferences with other republican senators
mil with republican members of the house.
As u result the opinion is gaining headway
that there will bo no report on the tariff bill
at tins session , but that the sub-committco
will continue its work , during the rocess.
Should the icpublicans adopt tills course u
llnal adjournment of the session may be ex
pected within three weeks.
Among piopositions which have been
suggested as possibly to bo considered by the
republican Collators Is the one to bring in a
resolution instructing the tariff subcommittee
tee to continue its hearings and its study of
the subject daring the "recess by hearing
representatives of the imVistrics of agricul
ture and labor , and lo frame a bill which
shall bo b.sd upon fitlrprotection principles ,
lo bo reported to the senate at the next
session. The proposition contemplates fixing
in tlio resolution the minimum of reduction
which the committee sliall aim to secure , as
well as making the measure a sp.'tial order
with exclusive right of vi ay until it shall be
perfected and pissed by the senate.

lloved Uoplohol was a Pinkerton detective.

by Jnko W. Spencer , proprietor of tlio
Journal of Commerce , to take tlic proceedings
f the convention in shorthand for his
wpcr. Ho said he was to bo paid ti"i for the

up to his hiding place , and was tiropaicd to

Charges were preferred against him this
afternoon. Great excitement prevailed
while Uoplohcl was being taken from the
opera house where the covcntion mot , and
: ncs of "Pinkerton spy , " and "scab" were

dele-gates from various parts of the union
arrived to-day to attend the conference of
colored men , called by J. Milton Turner and
others , to moot in this city to-morrow. The
circular sent out by Turner recites the mag
nitude of the coming struggle between the
two political parties , mid suggests "that
it would bo wisdom if the negro-Ameri
can voters were mi independent mid
unknown quantity in the present contest. "
This language of the call which distinctly
foreordains that the conference is to bo of n
politically independent character , was openly
repudiated to-night by u large majority of

pendents , mid at tne meeting of the piclimi-

mid his supporters were denounced by tlio
straightout democrats , and outvoted
on all questions of organi/ation.

Journal , led the democratic wing at the com
mittee mooting , mid was seconded by Jv
Gordon Street , an attache of the Hoston
Herald. They were opposed by Turner
and George W. Fisher , of Virginia , who rep
resented the independent wing. The meeting
finally broke up in a row. The democratic
faction cm Hod the day mid declared that
they will organi/o to-morrow as a democratic
negro conference anil exclude Turner and
his followers from all participation.

the power to identify any ruffian who Would

it was evident that the commission intended
to evade the real issue to bo decided. Kgan
mid Hyrne , for Instance , could not appear ,
yet In their alxetuo the e'nminissloii was to
investigate their conduct and listen to the
charges. Matthews had said that a wide
Me'opo of inquiry might reveal
some undiscovered murder. Did that
moan that the nioiiihors against
whom the bill was directed were murderous !
Would the house tolerate those vague insin
uations ! Never was the effronterv of the

said the coiiiinisAion was granted at the request -
quest of the Piirnellitcs , while in the mean

: iot to begrudge a prolonged mqiiirj to bring
nit the truth. He did not believe that they
bought the government a party to the accti-
iations of the Times ( Cries of Oil , Oil ) .
Sir William Vermin llarcourt said that the
government evaded the question in regard to
ihesi" lottois , and tried , under cover of an in-
piiry , to make an attack upon its political
jpponents. If Attorney General Webster
believed one single1ohmgo ho had tried to
fix upon I'm neil ns the counsel
of the Times , it was his duty , as nttnrney for
ho ciown , to indict Parnell. The proof that
10 did not believe the charges is found in the
fact that he did not ndvis" the government
o risk it prosecution. The attorney general's
extraordinary and unjustilinblo course was
ntirely contrary to the traditions of the bar.
The real object was to blast thoieputation of
ho loaders of the Irish national pmty.

T. M Kcnlo.v denounced Attorney General
Webster for making a series of infamous
charges and in fading to prove thorn.

was content to leave his conduct to tlio judg

been under ionsultation with and with the
full concurrence of Sir Henry James. Web.

Parnell asked if the house was to under

of the lorn-nod gentleman ( Webster ) as eoiin-

Till * Ill-own Poisoning CIIHC.
Wunm.oo , July 21. [ Special Telcpriuu to
Tm : liu : . ] The following in regard to the
notorious Hi-own poisoning case at Clear
Lake is of sm'cial interest as containing
some points not brought out before , The
prevalent idea union ; ; C'lenr Lakers in icgarel
to the matter is that tllo poi-oning was the
work ol Mrs. lirown. The history of the
ease is about as follows :
About tuelvocurs ngo she eame to the
.the us n siiiumer visitor. She then formed '
he re luainUinoo of Mr. lirown , and in two
short weeks b'-eamo his wife. Her past his-
orv is being sifteil , and it has boon found
hat she lias imulo poison and its etreetsa sort
if study , mill many things go to sliow that
-tie was the sort of a woman fiom uhom
such deeds might be o > .p"e-ted. Sh has left
her husband and hied hoi-self ( way to Ohio ,
where her folks live. Anothtir now phase of
tlic case Is the admiration that slio and liio
hit cd man had for ou 'h other , and In thujn-
vostigatiou ol the euro she had him testify
so us to throw the suspicion on Mr. Hrowu.
Another point which condemns hot is that
she was the only ono in the family who did
not got a dose of poison. When the slom-
ichs of the poisoned persons were sent to
Chicago for investigation she was verj un
easy , aim objected to its being done. A
few days bofm-e the poisoning , which
occurred last winter , she was visiting
at ono of the noighhois and was knitting
a pair of stoi'hitijis , when she made there-
mark that that would probably bo tl.o last
stocking she would ever need to knit for her
children. It nucurrcd about a year ago. Ono
of the children was bathing in the lake mill
it came near drowning with its mother close
by it , wh 're ho could have easily secured it ,
which showed plainly that she wanted it out
of the way. The Investigation is still going
on in n quiet way , with the general belief
that Mrs. Urown is the guilty party.
