Canadian rrovinccn Anxiously Desire
Annexation.
OTTAWB , Ont. , Oct. 17. Premier Abbott is
said to bo croatlv concerned over the unmis
takable sentiment rapidly developing n
every quarter of the dominion In laver o
political union with the United States. Several
eral of the most urdont supporters of the lati
Sir John Mcdonald hnvo become the foremos
promoters of the movement. A loader in tin
tory ranks said so n reporter tonight that
; u much as ho disliked to maki
the admission , there was no disput
ing the fact that the only recourse to
MWO Canada from bankruptcy and ruin ap
peared to bo political union wltn the ropublii
to the south. Ho pointed out the failure o
the dominion government to negotiate tradi
relations with foreign countries , their mis
sions to South America , Spain , Australia one
the West Indies having proved signal fall
ures. while the restrict ions imposed bv tin
United States upon Canadian exports prom
ise soon to exclude Canada from these markets
kots tn which , up to now , 45 per cent of al
tbo dominion had to sell had boon disposal
of. Organizations in this section ol
the country nro being completed to laj
the case of "bankruptcy or annexation"
squarely before the people. Dr. liricri , one
of the leaders in favor of political union
said , when a member of the domiuion parlla
ment just before the election , that ho was an
out and out annexationist and would leave
parliament to announce his platform. As t
llbenrt ho did not desire to take the initiative
step until ho was frco from his party and enl
of parliament so that his action could not bt
attached to them.
There are moro than 100 seats in parliament
protested nnd within six months there will
bo from fifty to sovonty-llvo elections , in
which the question of political union with
the Upited States will bo an important issuo.

Physicians say the symptoms were all
those peculiar to poisoning" There was no
forerunner of the sickness , but n sudden and
terrible gnawing nt the vitals , accompanied
by uncontrollable vomiting. It certain moro
severe cases the pulses of the patient lowered
until almost imperceptible , followed by
loathlv pallor and complete prostration.
The ubsurd theory of tbo most severely
strioKon that food had boon poisoned or the
nir of the church impregnated with gas bv
'
some liquor dealer * or other opponents o'f

ploded today. Physicians were of tbo
opinion that they had boon poisoned bv some
deadly stuff or powder sprinkled on tbograpes ;
jut this theory was also Incorrect when in
vestigation today showed that the people
md beun poisoned by food improperly cooked
n copper kettles. Of the eighty taken ill ,
vomo thirty wore nt Brat supposed to bo

ind tbo consternation among citizens may bo

D. C. , Oct. 17. The nnnua
report of Major General Nelson A. Mllei
commanding tlio Department of tbo Mlssour
Is mainly an historical rovlow of the Slou :
wnr of last whiter , Its causes nnd results
Among the causes that resulted In the Slou :
outbreak ho mentions the gradually Increas
Ing poverty of the Choyonnos and the Sioux
the in&ufllcloiicy of their rations Issued bj
the government nnd the failure of tno crop
hi 1SSO nnd IU',10 and the Inability of thi
Indians to immigrate to other parts of th
country. Ho quotes at some length from reports
ports mndo by Oonoral Uugcr , then command
Ing the Department of Dakota , to show that t hi
disaffection of the Indians nt Standing Houli
was to bo attributed to several failures of thi
government. Of thn Indians nt Pine Utdgi
much of the satnn thing was said by Clcnera
} irooko In a report dated November 30 , 1S90
Very nearly a similar showing Is made in tin
report in regard to the causes of dissatisfac
tion among the Indians nt the Hosobud am
Cheyenne agencies nnd among the Ynnktons
the general tuner of their complaints boiiu
that the government had failed to provide
sufllclont rations. Uenoral Miles writes thii1
about the Messiah craze : "Tho fanaticism :
nnd superstitions of these people wcro takoi
advantage of by tholr dUaffected and design
Ing loaders , who encouraged them to assume
hostilities toward the government and white
people. "
The record of the outbreak at Pine Hldgi
follows in an interesting narrative.
Genornl Mlloi commends the udmlnlstrn
tlon of Captain Potiuv as acting Indian agenl
at Pine Ittdge. and says : "Through addi
tional appropriations the Indians now rocolvi
nearly ono-half as much moro than they dii
u year ago. "
In concluding his report on the campaign
ho says :
Notwltlislandln-i thu fact that the voleanc
has cooled down , the fires of discord still re
main. Kvon wlillo the hostages were at I'ori
Sheridan they received coinmiinloatlons Iron
their friends hi tlio Slou > camps , stating thai
they had not given up tlio conspiracy of : i
Brand uprising of thu Indians nnd that tin
Utos were ready to Join the Sioux whcnovoi
they wore ready to resume hostilities. Com-
mnnlcutlotis huvo been dlscovuiod colm : or
between the dlirurent camps. Inciting Indians
to hostilities , and even now ( tlio report Is dated
September i-l ) tlioro Is a delegation from tin
Indlan.tcrrltory. absent ostensibly to visit
rolntlves at tlio Arapuhoo nnd Shoshone res
ervations In Wyoming. They huvo , In fact ,
gone actoss the motinialns and nto now In the
abodes of the supporters of the Messiah delu
sion near Pyramid lake In Nevada. I ) tiring
the months following the serious disturbance
of the potien the confidence of nil lias huen
restored. Manv of the settlers huvo gone haul *
lo tholr abandoned humes nnd ranches and the
Indians have resumed tholr itcuustoineil ave
cations. ' v
Alfulrs arc erurttmtly adjusting theinsolvca
after being In u state of transition for a IOIIK
time , Thu days of litrpo hnldlnusof land by
the Indians Incoipniqii will eventually cense ,
and the Indians will take up tlio land In sev
erally. ' " '

WASIIINOTON' . D. C. , Oct. 17. The president -
dent received this morning by appointment
a committee of ttio American Bar association ,
appointed at its mooting in Boston in August ,
consisting of Hon. Henry Hitchcock of St.
Louis , who was president of the association
last'year. Prof. J. H. Ttiayer of the
Harvard law school , and William
I'ornblowcr , a prominent member of the
Wow York bar. This committee , was dele
gated to bring to the attention of tlio presi
dent and congress a resolution which was
unanimously ndoptcu by the association after
a ilobato , in which u number of prominent
lawyers took part , in reference .o the legal
status of Indians on reservations. The sub
ject was introduced by an able paper road by
Mr. Hornblowcr In which , among other re
sults of the anomalous existing conditions ,
was mentioned thu acquittal ot the Indian
who treacherously killed Lieutenant Cusoy
of the army during the Sioux
troubles last win tor , when indicted and
tried for murder , on ttio ground that u
state of war existed between the United
States and thu Sioux. In tno fulllllmcnt of
their duty the members of the committee
placed in the hands of the president it cony
of the resolution which declared it to bo the
sense of the association that the government
should provide at the earliest possible mo
ment for courts and u system of law for the
Indian reservations. They also briefly
stated to him the consideration on which it
was based , rofnrrinc to repeated rocommon-
datiuis : oy successive Indian commissioners ,

CHICAGO , 111. , Oct. 17. The stars am

be done during the World's ' fair froi
an American tour that will out-Eiffel Paris
The builder is to bo Andrew Carnegie o
Pittsburg.
Over twenty-five thousand people will b
accommodated iu the tower at ono time am
two of the many elevators are to start fron
tbo ground and run moro than ono thousum
feet up without change or stop , directly ti
the lookout landing. The width of the towei
at the foundation love ! is 440 feet iu oacl
direction. After long continued negotiation
the Keystone Bridge company of Pittsburg
ono of Andrew Carnegie's concerns , ha :
ntado offers in writing that are satisfactory
to the promoters. A conference was held n
the Union League club today with Mr. A. L
Grillln , president of this company , und Mr ,
Edward P. Cragin , representing the promot
ers ana several capitalists. As a result tin
Keystone company has agreed in writing
to construct the metal portion of the towct
and have it completed February 1 , IS'JIl. ' Tin
company will have to pay heavy forfeits pel
day for any delay over that timo. President
Griflln expects that the tower , however , wil
bo built by October li ! , ISfti , less than out
year from date. In that cnso a bonus is exacted
acted for the time saved. Options have beoi
secured on ground immediately adjoining the
World's fair site and arrangements niadi
with the World's fair olllciuU. if desired , si
that the towei-grounds will bo included undei
their lurisdiction. After long und cuvelu
study the designs have been completed bj
Engineer George S. Morrison of this city.
Ho estimates that tbo oarninc capacity wil
be nearly four times that of the Elife ! tower ,
Tlio actual cost will bo about $1,51)0,000. ) The
cost of tno Eiffel tower was u little less that
$1,700 000. The dlfferouco is in the greatei
simplicity of design of the American lower
and the use of standard and mcrchantabh
sizes of steel.
Doubts as to the completion of the towei
in titnu nro largely discounted by the fuel
that the Carnegie concerns have n capital ol
between $40,000.000 and * .T. > ,000,000 , and em
ploy 211,000 men. The Keystone company , thi
concern with which the contract is made ,
built the llrst St. Louis bridge , the bridges at

father was Attorney General L. H. Klliott ,
the eloquent lawvor and preacher. She suld
that ho hud accomplished her ruin six years

ho was her seducer , mid claimed that other
men had been Intimate with her. Ho refused
to marry her and would not leave the coun

father nml two brothers und for months
every one feared n personal encounter , but
nothlnir came of It , and iho matter quieted

upoon , when Mrs. Archie W. Overtoil ,
mother of the girl entered and walking up
to Elliott , withoat n word dashed the con
tents of a hrrgo bottle of vitriol , or sulphuric
arid into his face. It struck him square oc-
tweon the eyes and spread all over his face.
In ten minutes his loft eye was entirely de
stroyed and it is thought his other oyd will
bo lost. Ills face was horribly burned. Hu
did not fall and only spoke for some oil.

moveil to the residence of his sister , Mrs.
May Knicht , where ho now lies In great
