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.

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

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.

severe comment being made about thu presi
dent's iibseneo on the part of the men In the

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

A Bulletin From Which the 1'ubllc
May Draw Ita Own ConclunlonH.
NEW YOIIK , July 29. [ 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

PAIUS , July 89. [ 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. [ Signed by n member of the
Khidvivinl Geographical Society. ]
I called last evening on Huron Sonboyran ,
who knows as much as anyone about the
Hlotluto complications. Cantho Sccretan
copper syndicate carry the load they have
undertaken I What will become of the
English speculators who have boon selling
short ? What about the general condition of
the copper markctl Those nro some of the
questions I put to the celebrated financier ,
and here is his reply :
"There has been much needless and c-
travagant talk in regard to this matter. 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.
I sent the ludy homo and trust she will bo
wiser next tlmo. Wo have lots ot similar
cases. "

Cable Seclul | to | Tim HEK. ! 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

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.

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.

STANinxo HOCK Acinxev , July 29. The ul
tlmatuni of the Indians was given to tin
commissioners yesterday. 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.
Governor Church and Auditor Ward will
bo down from Bismarck to attend Monday's
conference. There is llttlo prospect , how
