Ho Could Neither Bit , Htniul Nor Me Down for Three Dnys The CurloiiH Mission of a lUiictiuttlo Fly. A Hern In , lcnno. , Neb. , July 'JO. | Spectu' ! Tele gram toTunBiiE. ] Tun BKU correspondent M. went out to Mr. Kenyan's to-ilny with the expectation of 11 miliip John Anderson , who wns imprisoned in the well nlno days. On ar rival ho found that Anderson had gone homo , two miles distant , where BOIIIO of his neighbors - bors wcro harvesting his wheat , which , owing to hU accident , was needing it very much , Proceeding to the wheat Held , Ander son was found walking ulono to the house to get something to cat , remarking nt the tlmo that "Tho man who boards mo for the next few days will not get rich very fast. " Ho walks slowly and looks pale , but otherwise lias changed very llttlo. After appeasing his nppctito Anderson told tiio story of his Im prisonment. Ills story Is given In almost his own words , and is as follows : "On July 10 I went Into a well belonging to 11. H. Hall to clean It out and repair the curbing. The well , which was 150 feet deep , was a very dangerous one , and I felt ns though I ought not to work In it but as a I had made for myself a reputation of being n good well digger I did not wish to impair it. Fifty feet ifown was where the curbing needed most repairing as at this point the old curbing had given away and about a foot of sand all around the well had caved in. After taking measurements I came out , put my curbing together and lowered it , sus pended by four ropes to where I wonted it. Of course this curbing was smaller than the other and would have to bo made fast. This I did did by going below and nailing on the Did curbing 2x1 inch stuff. In the now curbing I had laid three boards across the bottom letting them rest on the Jxl's ' which supported the curbing , thus forming a Hind of box. I was In the the box ktufllng hay in behind preparatory to filling In the small cavity with dirt which I was going to have lowered to me and I wns about ready to leave the well when 1 saw it beginning to cave above me. Jumping into a bucket 1 culled for those above to pull mo up quick , but before a move could bo made the sand mid boards had completely closed in on mo and I wns u prisoner. For the first few minutes of my imprisonment words cannot express my feelings. That my tlmo hud come 1 did not doubt in the least and the thought of such u horrible death as I would have to meet was terrible. After collecting my thoughts a llttlo I discovered I was held fast In the bucket by two or three boards , but by a hard struggle , I managed to extri- rate myself from this position and dropped down Into the box. From the bottom of tliu b.ix it was three and one-half feet to the boards above which , in falling , had formed themselves into an arch anil protected mo from thu sand. The box was HO crushed by - the pressure of the wall that it was only about two feet square. Thus in the space allotted to mo thcro was not room enough to Bland erect , get on my knees , or sit down , but I had to stay in a crouching position the whole time I was in the well. "About the first three days of my prison life I got along very well , but after that I began to want water badly. The fourth day when It rained I heard what I thought was water slowly dripping. Fooling around I found it mid holding my mouth open I managed in this way to get about a dozen drops of water , which gnvomo much relief. 1 had no dllU- eulty In breathing until the well below mo coir.o so ncr.r being tilled up by sand , occa ulonally caving In caused by the diggers above. I had breathed ths air over so much Hint It had become impure , causing mo to feel a smothering sensation , but about this lima the rescuers got ne.ir enough to mo to let in air from nbovu. Hy having a good supply of chewing tobacco , 1 did not suffer BO much for food as might be expect ol. ' From the beginning I could hear a good deal that wan said and done ubovo. I heard the wagon whim it started to town for lum ber , and hoard some ono say , 'Tho man is dead , " and the order given to try to pull my box out. When they begun milling on the ropes I Knew- that unless the ropes broke thuru was great danger of the boards ubovo giving way and crushing me. For my own safety and to give evidence of being alive I cut the ropes and heard the excitement that provailcil when it was discovered by the cut ropes that I was altvo , It was music to mo , and from that time on I wrs hopeful of being rescued. " "About the sixth day I felt something crawlIng - Ing on my hand and found it to bo a blue bottle Hy. I thought from this an opening had been made from above. I was correct , for soon Henry Archer Imd the opening largo enough to puss a wet rag to me. In reach ing me It was all covered with sand , but no honey over tasted better to mo than that wet rag. Soon a bottle ot water and n piece of bread was given me , and I was tiuly thank ful. From this tlmo on 1 began to gain itrongth , and by helping my rescuers the time passed quicker than ono would suppose. When my feet , which arc bndly swollen , nro better and I dare to cat u square monl I wilDe Do all right. I am very thankful to my tricntis lor their persistent efforts to rescue me and feel grateful for the spmpathy that 1 nciir has been given me. The Yutnii AVroolc Victims. Mi\n : , Neb. , July 'JO.

WASHINGTONHUIIEAU THROUATIV DRB , ) 513 FoUllTKENTIlSTIlBnT , V WASHINGTON , D C. , July 29. 1 If a quorum of the house can bo secured to morrow , the conference report on the Omaha public building bill will bo reported , together with the reports on the bills providing public buildings for Kansas City nnd Milwaukee. Friends of these mcnsurcs wcro nt work to day among the members of the house , solic iting their attendance to-tnorrow. Confer ence reports are privileged mnttcr and can bo submitted to either house of congress nt any time , but In the absence of a quorum a single objection can defeat the adoption of a report , nnd it Is therefore desired that thcro bo a quorum present. It is not known that there will bo objection to the report on the Omaha bill , but It is believed that objection will bo made to ono ot the reports submitted at the same tlmo , nnd since each of these three bills stand upon the same ground , an objection to one will likely defeat the adoption of the others In the absence of a quorum. If a quorum Is not secured to-morrow extraordi nary efforts will be made to got n majority present at the earliest possible day , as it is very much desired that action on each of the public building bills now in conference shall bo held before the senate begins its debute on the tariff bill. oi'iixiNo OK Tin : sioux HKSKUVATION. Oftlccrs in the interior department and in in the department of justice stnto that the affairs connected with the opening of the great Sioux Indian reservation in Ne braska and Dakota are wholly in charge of the commissioners ap pointed by the president , nnd that very llttlo will bo known at this end of the line until the commissioners are ready to report. They expect the commission to en counter n great deal of opposition , largely owing to the Interference of the 'squaw men , " who are making nil the oppo sition possible for the purpose ol forcing the people in Dakota to buy them off/ There are some hangers-on around the Indians on the reservation , who are deslgnntcd in ofllcinl circles as blackmailers , nnd if any of them interfere with the enforcement of the Inw , or give opportunity , they will bo arrested nnd properly punished. Notwithstnnding the anticipated delay and obstacles the depart ment officials expect to sco the commis sioners succeed , and say there is no doubt nbout the reservation being thrown open to settlement. Delegate Gifford - ford , of Dakota , says that the opening colloquies quies with the Indians show that they are lire pa red to meet the commissioners , and the interviews which have been hold between the Indians and commissioners , although np Hearing unfavorable on their face , should not bo taken as necessarily discouraging indica tions. "Ten years ngo , when General Stanley nud his fellow commissioners brought nbout the removal of the Sioux to their reservation , " says Judge Gifford , "there was fully ns much preliminary complaint us is being en countered at present , and more real , serious difficulties than I expect to see in the present negotiations. General Stanley finally managed everything to the satisfac tion of the Indians , and also of the whites , and his work resulted in teaching a lesson , which must bo obvious to this day. that the Sioux chiefs nro very cunning , nnd nro awnro that if they show any eagerness to ac cept the terms which will bo first offered them , may lose bargains nnd they will , there fore , hold out for everything they can get. I expect wo will have difficulty in inducing the Indians to accept lands In severally , ns Chief Gall , who is a power among these Indians , is strongly opposed to the allotment of lands , and Gall Is acting for all the elements among the Indians. If Chief Gall should continue his rcsistonco to the allotment of lands , I believe that a com promise can bo effected. It is not absolutely necessary to the reduction of the'rcservntioti , although very desirable , as It will tend to lessen the tribal tics , which hinder progress to civilization and pitizenship. 1 think we ought to have the lands allotted in severally and I hope the commission will succeed in accomplishing that , but if this is refused thcro may bo other means of effecting the desired result. " BCOFIKLn MAY TAKR COMMAND. Notwithstanding the denials nt the war department , it Is believed' that Major General Soollold was sum moned hero last week by the secretary of war with a view to consulting him with reference to his assuming command of the army , dui ing the disability of General Sieridan. It is nutb.'licved nt the depart incut that General Sheridan will ever again bu able for active duty , oven though ho should recover sufficiently to return to Wash ington. It has been seventy days since ho performed his last ofllcial net. CLKVlSIAXll'H LETrUH Ol1 ACCKI'TAXCE , President Cleveland's ' letter of acceptance is expected to appear during the latter part of this wcok. It Is statcit that ono of hl& ob jects In going uway was to meet n number of his confidential friends from New York , Now Jersey and Connecticut , unit lay his letter before them for criticism nnd suggestions. There is a good deal of severe comment being made about thu presi dent's iibseneo on the part of the men In the house , who were most prominent in securing the pass.uro of the river and harbor bill. The ten day's limit within which the president may veto n bill or permit it to become a law without Ills signature , will expire ou next Tuesday. The republicans Bay that ho in tends to absent himself from Washington until the bill becomes n law because he Is on record against the general principles of the measure and yet he cannot afford to veto it.

[ Special Telegram to Tun 13rE. ] The World's Washington special says : The authoritative announce ment in the World a few days ago that Samuel J. Randall's Washington physicians had declared that ho wns suffering from cancer wns received with expressions of pro found regret throughout the country. There wns n general hope that the diagnosis of Drs. Mallan nnd Lincoln might yet prove erroneous. Perhaps in response to that desire both united in n bulletin stating that Mr. Randall is not suf fering from n cancer of the stomach , us had been nt flrst reported. They did not , ns was observed , say that ho was not suffering f row cancer of any kind. It Is proper for the World's Washington correspondent to say thai ho would not have telegraphed the state ment without specific and conclusive author ity. Tno statement , that Mr. Itandall is suf fering from cancer was uiado by Dr. Thomas F. Mallan , his family physi cian , to a gentleman of Capitol Hill , to whoso family Dr. Mullnn Is also phy sician , und by him communicated to the World correspondent. It was verified by Dr. Nathan S. Lincoln , probably recognized by every ono ns ttio most eminent physician In Washington , and who had been called In con sultation by Dr. Mallan on Mr. liandall's first attack. It Is a well known fact in medical ethics that physicians do not ordinarily consider themselves at lib erty to discuss In the public press the condition of their patients. Dr. Lincoln , when seen by u representative of the World to-day , authorized the following sent , as all that ho could now sny on the subject : "Dr. Lincoln lias denied nothing but the specific statement that Mr. Randall is suffer ing with a cancer of the stomach. " Ho declined to discuss the case further , leaving the public , ns ho wild , to draw its own inferences as to the exact character of Mr. Kandull's disease. A CHICAGO TKAOKDY.

[ New \orlc Herald Cable-Special to Tin : HBB. ] The letter from Sir Francis Uurton published last week calls forth much comment. To-day the following letter In reference to the fate of Stanley was received : PAIUS , July ' 't ! . To the Editor of the Her ald : Sir Hlchard Uurton confirms , in his letter to the Herald , my own views that the mysterious White Pasha Is Emln and not Stanley. From my own experience of the country through which Stanley would pass after leaving the Congo , I nm fully convinced that If ho has lost his life It has been occa sioned by his traveling too far cither north eastward or northwestward in seeking access toWadelelfrom the Congo. Ifnortheastward ho would fall into the hands of the Kebaro- t'as , a tribe who would show him no mercy , nnd if northwestward , ho would fall a prey to the tribes of cannibals who Inhabit that country. Having * been several times to Wndelai and its neighborhood by different routes , and having spent some years In ex ploring those regions , I feel that It is to the public Interest that this should become known.

See- rctan nnd his associates are engaged in en terprise in no way different from many sim ilar ones already accomplished. The sauio thing has been done in cotton , wool and coffee , why not now in copper ! I know the resources and abilities of those interested in the scheme , and I can give you the most unqualified assurance that they are abundantly able to bring this opera tion to a successful termination. Thcro is nothing extraordinary about the present price of copper. It has varied between 40 and JL'ISI for Chili bars , and is now in the neigh borhood of .CSO , which allows a reasonable protlt for mining companies without being a burden to consumers. As to the syndicate being unable to support the strain of the copper they are buying and holding such talk is utter nonsense. They could do that nnd very much more were it necessary. En glish speculate of course , are Interested in spreading contrary reports , but wti&n the time comes for them to till contracts , we shall see who has got the worst of it. They will find themselves in a trap from which the only escape Is in handing over the difference between what they will have to pay and what they have agreed to accept. You maybe bo quite sure the French syndicate knows what It is doing. " I found Sccretan absent from Paris , but was able to see M. J. J. Lavolsslerre , whoso extensive interest in copper mines bring him into close relations with Secretan. "I have the most perfect conlidonce" said he , "In the ability of Secretun to carry out what ho has undertaken. Eight months ugo wo wcro sinking large sums of money in our mines , and had things gone on ns they were wo should have soon been obliged to abandon work. Most of the copper companies would have been ruined and those remaining having full control of the market would have suc ceeded in forcing prices up to the highest point. AH It Is , copper quotations are sta tionary nt reasonable figures , and they will remain thcro. If English operators are count ing on lower prices they nro doomed to disap pointment In my opinion. The law of Franco would undoubtedly require mining coup- panics who have made contracts witli Sccretan to fulfill them. On the whole I see nothing rcinarkablo about the present condi tion of the copper market except that it is re markably satisfactory. " In spite of the doctors nnd druggists P.iris is u healthy place this summer. They say that the Seine water contains in evorv square inch several billion of deadly microbes , but this docs not trouble the American ns long as Henry , the amiable concoctor of American drinks ut the Chateau d'Or assures them that thcionro no microbes about his establish ment. Visitors in Purls are supposed to fol low the general custom and eat In the open air. This method of nutrition Is not popular hero at present. It takes practice to simul taneously and successfully manage a beef steak nnd nn umbrella. Eating out of doors in this weather might suit Mr. Paul Boynton nnd the other nquutie marvels , but ordinary people don't appreciate .a bath Just at meal time. I met a prominent Wall Btrcct man recently nt the Jurdln do Paris. A symon- thotlo young lady in a red dress nnd dainty slippers was teasing him to dunce some new step. She seemed to bo n good teacher and ho a promising pupil. I nsicea him if ho had visited the Louvre and the Luxembourg Ho said ho had not had tlmo so fur , but was golnr to take them In. The nest morn ing ho was sliding on the switchback railway. This time the young lady had a peacock feather In her hat. I fear this Wall street pcntletnan will reserve the Louvre for another visit. The ladles are going In extensively for autumn gowns. Their husbands nro bearing up bravely. It would bo extremely interesting to establish by statis tics the ratio between what Columbia's daugh ters intend to spend on Paris clothes and what the dressmakers actually receive. The gentlemen have some distinct Ideas on this point , but it must not be assumed that only the rich come to Paris. Consul Hathbono has knowledge to the contrary. Ho told mo a story to-day. "Some weeks ugo , " ho said , "an American lady called on me. She was penniless. She had mot a handsome Italian nobleman on the steamer. They had been mutually smitten and thu nobleman had agreed to take cure of her money , and having douo so , was forthwith called away to Italy.

The social eqimtkm of theT ; k la the inurriugo of the Dowager Duchess Montrooo with Mnrquls Henry Mllnor , n young man of two nnd twenty. The bride Is In her seventy- first year , nud she has been mar ried twice before the first time lu l$3fl. No woman In London society lias n wider or more peculiar reputation. She docs and says things which nobody else would venture upon. Her anecdotes nnd her Jokes are generally better suited to the smok- Inu'thanto the drawing room , nnd she Is very apt to stagger the most hardened man of the world by what some of her friends call her emancipation from conventionali ties. Other people may bo hampered by the rules and obligations of ordinary life , but the Duchess Montrose acknowledges no such re strictions. Kee'iitly she gave an account at n dinner party of certain articles of wearing npp.trcl which some one Induced her to put on for the llrnt tlmo in her life. As she declared her experiences with the garment and the mishap which befell her she sent the gentlemen of the party Into ills of laughter , but the ladles were not quite so happy , and yet it takes a good deal to shock modern fashionable women. Everybody knows that the old duchess takes n great In terest In raehiL' , and Is Indeed proud Bf her stable of horses. She likes pl.iy actors and everybody else , provided they arc young and don't belong to her own sex. Naturally , therefore , she generally had a young man or two in her train , and one of them she has chosen for her husband. There Is a matter of nearly llfty years disparity in their ages , but what of that ) The duchess has fully JE30OJO n year nml Is ns nice nnd lively ns n cricket. Crabbed age and youth can live together very well under such clrcum- stances. Mr. Milner Is not the first young man who has married for money. Let us hope ho will achieve success in toning down the wild luxuriance of his bride's manners mid customs , nnd inducing her to spare the blushes of virtuous cheeks. AIIKAO KOH The Arrest of O'IColly Arouses the In dignation of the Irish Meml > erH. [ C < ij > i/rftfhl IRSSbn Janiff ( Ionian 7Ieinirt.l ( LONDON' , July 29. [ New York Her- nld Cable Special to Tin : Bui : . ] The na tionalist party has been passing through a rather anxious week , many consultations having been held , the latest of which was brought to a close late hist night. These consultations nro held only among the lead ers , Mr. Gladstone being represented either hi Mr. John Morley or by his son Herbert. . The tank and lllo are quite content to obi y the word of command. Mr. Purnoll has probably neither tlmo nor energy to explain all his purposes to his followers. I have rea son to believe that it Is decided after all to bring un action against the Times. It is evi dent that the royal commission , ns constituted under the now bill , would bo more unfavora ble than n trial in court , for it must not bo forgotten that Juries In this country never fall to bring n verdict ngnlnst n newspaper It they get half a chance , and the Times has n very difllcult case to prove. Mr. John Morley is said to have over come Mr. Parnoll's objections to the court's objections , which arc evidently not shared by Mr. William O'Brien , who promptly seeks redress when newspapers libel him. There is further trouble , arising from Mr. James O'lColly's arrest. There must cer tainly bo n debate on it , for thcro are many members at both sides of the house who look with repugnance on the latest proceedings of the Irish executive. It seems a very harsh measure to dog a member of parliament from the house to his homo nnd there pounce down upon him nt nildnignt and drug him off to Ireland on account of a speech delivered tlvo weeks ago ; n speech , moreover , which contained nothing that could do anybody much harm. Many conservatives shako their head over this act , aiul say pretty loudly that Half our Is going too' far. Mr. O'Kelly is represented in the house ns a thoroughly honest nnd independent Iran , holding strong opinions , doubtless , but al ways expressing them in a fair and reason able manner. His distinguished services in Journalism are known to many members , and there is a general feeling that ho ought not to have been dragged oft by the police like a common criminal. Supposing a vote is chal lenged , I cannot sny how far this feeling would find expression in the division list , for the moment the Irish question is touched in any shape the cords nro tightened , but thcro would bo fcomo conservatives who would ab stain from voting altogether. If Balfour is wise ho will check the ardent zeal of his sub ordinates in Ireland and keep his hands off members of parliament unless they commit some palpable und grievous offence.

The Indians wor < In council all Thursday night , and after manj speeches every Indian gave his assent to tin proposition not to sign the treaty. John Grass was chonen to present the ultimatum to the commission , assisted by Gaul und other chiefs. Grass referred to the fornioi treaties broken by the whites , and spoka nbout the Black Hills treaty. Chairman Pratt hivl said that their lands could not b taken except by consent of three-quarters ot the Indians. This was the provision of tin other treaty. Why did the whites take th Hlai-k Hills when they only got about 80fl Indians to slgnl That was not three-quar ters. ters."Tho "Tho Indians wcro fools , ns they nhvnyi have been In making treaties , and wo hope wo ami our children will talk slow and uol be fools hereafter , " said Grass. "You moved other Indian tribes among us off of lands given to the whites. We do not want this , ami the other tribes will not like It , either. The whites owe us much under the treailei made ye.irs ago. The government should glvo us what it owes us before it asks for more. Wo understand that you have two papers , one black for us to sign yes nnd ona red for us to sign no. Wo will not sign cither paper. Wo say no. Wo have oui crops to Ionic after and must get back to worn. We will not sign. Wo came hero be cause our agent nslo ; 1 us to , and wo did no ! want to blmmo him. You can't got us to sign. " After Grass had spoken Gaul was called , but simply replied that all had been said. Chairman Pratt told Grass that ho had nc more right to speak than any other Indian. This remark was resented by nn Indian grunt all around , and Glass said that ho Imd the same right to speak for the Indians who had chosen htm as Pratt hud for the whites. At Prutt's request the Indians finally agreed to stay until Monday , but said that theii minds were not like children , nnd they would not sign then Tno general opinion hero Is that Chain man 1'rail's diplomacy has not been rood , and that his actions have turned the hearts of the Indians. Two papers , one red and the ether black , confuses the Indians , mid when Pratt told them they had to sign one or the other , they rebelled and said they did not believe that the whites could bo made to sign any- thini : wliethcr they wanted to or not. Agent McLaughlin , who lias thocomploto confidence of the Indians , has done all ho could to in fluence them to sign , but to no avail.
