Wyo. , April S.-lSpecial Telegram -
gram to THE BEE.J A cow puncher came in
from Powder river tonight ana reports see
ing a man hanging from the guy rope of an
oil derrick Just north of Tisdalo's ranch on
Powder river. Ho saw the so-called rust
lers on tnelr wav to a common center. Ho
thinks the man Is a notorious rustler that
was working the ranco on Powder river
nlone and was surprised by the army or
Montana cattle men. The miners from Cas
par mountain came Into town today.
A courier from the seat of war who arrived
bere at noon reports the cattle army in camp
at the Narrows , about thirty miles south of
Buffalo and seventy mites north of here.
The array is reported In high spirits , and last
evening the man that arrived here was de
tained and sworn to secrecy. Yesterday the
major in command gave orders to the men
not to get the horses out of a walk in cross
ing Powder river. Tha heavy cannon of the
party broke the bridco and the army was de
tained for an hour or two. The array is well
supplied with ammunition and supplies. The
camp is on high land between two mount
ains which is clear to where old Fort Heno
used to be.
No engagement has taken place and none
is likely at tnis point. The rustlers are all
at the head of the basin starting the "shot
gun" round-up and are not very thick around
where the army is csrapod. The outcome of
the engagement between the forces , if it
comes to that , will be most desperate and tea
a finish. The rustlers are attempting to class
all small j-anchmen with themselves and if
tney can make the ranchers believe tbo army
is after tnem as well as the rustlers , the
fight is no picnic for the army and they may
have provoked a light they cannot win.
They Will Fight Saturday.
It is currently believed bere that a figbt
will take place not later than Saturday , as
rustlers ara oa the fight and think tbe army
will show no quarter. Another army of men
are. reported between Lost Cabin and
Lander , headed for the basin , and.if it is
true that an army wont by the way of the
11. & M. via Gillette into the basin , they
must intend to winter at the present campo
the cattle army.
The greatest fears of tbo friends of the
rustlers is that cattlemen from Montana will
como down tbo basin from Billings and the
two armies will get the rustlers between
them and exterminate them. The rustlers
fear a Montana cattleman as a Kansas
granger deus a cyclone. They are a de
termined set of men and the cloak of Bilder ,
tbe noted vigilante , seems to have fallen to
each of them and they know bow to use the
persuading influence of Bilaer. To hear
that they ara after a man means he has got
to leave the country or be the swell of a
tiecktio party.
No ono hero doubts that the cattlemen
from Texas to Montana are mixed up in this
and that n mast determined effort is being
made to protect the cattle business. Bring
Inc cattle from Texas and running them bere
on the frco range is an exceedingly profitable
business and tbo cattlemen don't propose to
see this industry run out of the country.
netting Freely on the Kckult.
Excitement hero is intense and bets are
offered two to ono that an engagement takes
place before Saturday nigbt. No ono doubts
that the catUe men now armed and In the
field can win , but if it becomes single
handed between the Casper cattle army and
the rustlers the latter will hold their own.
Men who claim to know the rustlers say they
will leave tbe "shot . "
gur. round-up and come
to meet tUo army , and the tight will take
place somewhere near ex-Governor Baxter's
13. 1C. ranch. A man went through the basin
yesterday notifying tbo settlers uud rustlers.
No ono knows wbero it has been arranuei
fur the settlers to meet , but in all probability
it is not far from tho-E. 1C. ranch. Ihe E
1C. is sixty miles from the cattle army camp
Men here assert that the rustlers are organ
Ized , aud it was understood that In case o :
trouble taoy could all meet at a certain place
By this time they are probably all together
and walling for the army marching toward
them. It Is said tbe rustlers have no grca
fear of the big cannon of the cattlemen. Tbo
fight will be Indian fashion , in which Win
cbcstcTs alone will count *
The cattle array left Casper en route to the
Big Horn basin and Powder river country
Tuesday , and since that time have been mak
Ing a bco line to the supposed field of opera
tion.
Scene of thr Proposed lluttle.
Tbe Big Horn basin is a country first explored
plored by Father do Smct In ls3' > , and soot
after was visited by tbe Hudson Bay Fui
company , who caught over .1,000,000 beaver
there in less tbau three years. The countn
embraced in tbe basin contains about IS.lXXj
square miles and is very mountamoous , ant
what level ground there is is repeatedly
broken by "hog backs. " It used to be the
home of the Crow Indians and has been the
iceue of mauy bloody battles , for tbe Indians
loved this country and made a desperate
effort to retain possession of It unrestricted.
After tbe Indians aad succumbed various
large cattle companies went Into the coun
try , and for a time enjoyed great prosperity
Among tbe companies there at the present
tirao are tbe Union Trust Beef company ,
Torroy Bros. . Bay State company , Wludior
Kempand company and David Bros. Nearly
all fare in tbo National Bocf trust. On tbe
track of the cattlemen tbe ranchmen soon
followed , and for several years seemed to
get along in tine shape. When the state sold
tbo mavericks at regular roundup tale the
ranchmen bought come of them in fine
left them on tbe open rauga. Here U where
tee trouble started , and since then there has
been more or lets fighting. Tbo tocitmn
claimed that tbe mavericks of the ranchmen
increased too fast aad that it was nothing for
a tteer belonging to a ranchman to have from
five to sir calves in one season. The ranch
man offset tbii by claiming be did not have
acy such a layout and that the cattleman
counted his calves twice and was trying to
ran him out of tbe couutrv. The legislature
took hold of the matter , and , tt tbe cattlemen
were tbs strongest , passed j w * favoring
that civs. Tbu added to the flames end
made matters worse. The basin has no rail1
road or telegraph Hoe Into it and is ODO of
the least known places on earth.
The population is scattered nil over It and
does not exceed 330. Last season the high
irlco of be f encouraged a lot of unmarried
fcxins to go into the country , and they com
menced to brand cattle rlcht and lett and
hen went into the totvns and sold the
brands. The stock commissioners , a depart
ment of the state , adopted the policy of sell-
ng all cattle shipped to market by rustlers
and made a sad mistake in failing to distin
guish between the ranchman that came hon
estly by his cattle aud the thief. The mar-
< et being good , tbo rustlers wcro active , and
t was nip and tuck whether the cattleman
or rustler would sead the most cattle to mar
ket.
Several Mnnlrrs Followed.
Tbo bitterness increased and last season
some flvo or six tnen were shot over thu
matter and the cattle business went into the
winter with ni awful feeling existinc
twtwoen tbo men , and evervbody looked for
Lroublo when spring work commenced.
Their leaders on both sides ran Into the
newspapers with their troubles and all
ivlntcr tbo newspapers have been full of
blood chilling .literature and the mails have
been flooded with threateninc letters.
The state authorities start the rouna-uos
l > ut for some reason ttio rustlers started a
"shotgun" round-up last week In the Big
Horn basin and a round-uo at this season is
very detrimental to the stock and is about
the same as klllintr them outright. The
stockmen have openly said that the rustlers
should never deliver the cattle thev sold last
season by book tally and the rustlers have
said thev would or die in the attempt. The
cattle companies are nil run by hired help ,
and last season so bold were the rustlers that
they took In tbe round-ups and , without any
pretext or title , branded tbo calves , often
branding all tbo calves found on a dav's
round-up. Tbe rustlers seem to think the
cattle companies wcro dooraod and that it
ttis a free-for-all race and tbat if they could
scare the cattlemen out they would have
thing * their own way.
Notices were served on certain cattlemen
to leave the country or take the consequences.
Many of the stockmen spend their winters
cast aud left about tbe usual time. It was
publicly stated that some of them would
never bo allowed to gather any cattle and
certain worthless people commenced to prey
upon thf cattlemen's stock and even went so
far as to attempt to shio east from Billings.
Mont. , a carload of horses that belonged
to Fred Hess. Esacgerated reports of bow
the rustlers were killing off stock for the fun
of it were circulated purposely to stir UP the
stocicmen and arouse tbom into doing some
thing to protect themselves. It is penerally
thought tbat these stories wcro manufac
tured out of whole cloth , but they have
served their purpose , and as a consequence
the stockmen have banded tozether to oro-
tect themselves and their interests , and in
all livelihood the matter w It end in blood
shed aad one or the other ot the two parties
leaving the stato.
It H Wyoming's Chief Industry.
Outsldo the railroads the stockmen pay
about eight-tenths of the taxes and cattle
ralsing n the open range has been the chief
industiy of the state. Everybody can see
that the man that has no stock'on the range
is not entitled to anv mavencKS , and if be
never had any cattle of any kind on the
ranco and is "working" tbo range , some
body la being robbed.
Tbe law abidln ? pzopla don't sustain tbe
rustler in his workings , but thev have to live
wltb rustlers and so keep quiet and wink at
many things they don't approve and still at
the same time they have it in for the capital
ists. But thny have been deprived of money ,
wages and proper representation. Wyoming
is cursed with number ot
any 10-cent capital
ists , penniless oil'kiogs und skin oil compa
nies who cet the people to sell them products
and work for ihe.n and theu quit tbo
country and leave the ranchman to rnstlo
for his .jnonoy. Then nsrain the lezUla-
turu h so run tbat the counties are deprived
of their proper representation. The state
constitution provides that eai-h county shall
have a s-enator and representative and things
are so manipulated that three counties are
not represented and the statute books are
full ol class and self legislation that worn
hardships to the ranchman and his county.
Tno ranchman sees and knows this and
attributes all his wrongs to the cattle com
panies , and to keep even in the race , don't
say much when the rustlers are dis
posed to wrestle the calves ol the big com
panies.
The stock commission , In seizing the cattle
of everybody , invited thu enmity of the people
ple that heretofore wtro friends of the ca'ttlo
companies. Both tbe cattlemen ana the rus
tlers are v/ronc in the present state of affairs
and the state authorities ere handicapped in
doing much for cither side , as the state has
failed to protect the capitalists and has
robbed the ranchmen of representation aad
them Jon t soia to be much hope for a
peaceful termination of the affair.

On motion of Mr. McMillln n resolution
was adopted directing the committee on pub

under which certain leases to parties of land
wcro made in Iho Yellows tone National park ,
and why they wcro afterward rescinded
and then granted to S. S. Huntly.
The nouse then went Into co-nraktoe of the
ivholo on the cotton baggibg bill.
Mr. English , democrat , of New Jersey , the
author of tto ballad "Ben Bolt , " then too *
the floor. He opposed the pending bill , and
said ho had been a tariff reformer in the days
of the Walker tariff , and be was a tariff re
former now. But ho was not a tariff de
stroyer , and therein lay a distinction which
was a difference.
Mr. Hemphlll spoke in favor of tbe bill.
Simpson Declare * for Absolute Tree Trade.
Mr. Simpson of Kansas announced himself
as an ubsoluto free trader. He was not one
of the men who were willing to compromise
witb a wrong. He had learned republican
ism when the republican party msant some
thing ; when it stood for a principle ; when
the republican party became tha champion of
special interests ; when the tuonled power
got control of it bo left the party , and "today
he stood for absolute free trade In every
sense of the word. He wished to see from
u selfish standpoint the southern farmer re
leased from every tax , because the cotton
raisers of tbo south traded with the psopleot
Kansas for their corn and wheat. Tne loss
the southern farmer was robbed the moro ho
would have left to buy Kansa * corn. So
from selfish views ho was in favor of this
bill. It was said that protection was neces
sary to give labor " brotection. Had not some
body deprived "labor of its natural
life } Labor the King , labor the sovereign
eign , had been pushed from its throne ,
and capital reigned supreme , the bastard
monarcb in its stead. On account of tbe cro-
tectiva system tbo house had passed a few
days ago a bill tnat was a disgrace to any
civilization. It has passed a bill to protect
this country acainst tbe labor of the highest
protective "nation in the world. Why oia
the bouse do this ! In the interest of Cali
fornia , one of the grandest status of the
union , the bouse was compelled , under tbe
policy of protection , to pass a law restricting
immigration from another country , and in
defense ot the people of California be had
been compelled to vote for the bill.
lie Was Compelled to Vote as He Did.
Mr. Henderson of Illinois Do I under
stand that the gentleman voted for a bill
which he regarded as a disgrace to civiliza
tion i
iMr.
Mr. Simpson I did so , and I was com
pelled to do It in defense of the laboring
class of the state of California , which is shut
off by the land monopolies and the protective
tariff.
General debate having been concluded ,
the one section of tne bill was read "for

Mr. Turner ot Georgia ( in charge of the
bill ) moved to strike out the clause which
makes free "hoop or band iron , " or "hoop

WASHINGTON , D.'C. , April S.The senate
made public today tbe correspondence trans
mitted by the president touching the declina
tion of the Chlnftsoipovcrnment to receive
Hon. H. W. Blair af United Slates minister.
The correspondence. begins with a cablegram
received by tbo Chinese minister stating
that Mr. Blair hadj. bitterly abused China
end Chinese laborers nd was conspicuous in
helping to pass tbo Exclusion act. For these
reasons China dootnbd it expedient to remove
Mr. Blair. t
Juno 15 Mr. Wharton requested from the
Chinese minister that the case bo reopened.
Juno 23 Blair put in his dofecso in a. long
letter to Mr. WbarJon denying the charge
that no ever abused China or tbe Chinese
government. On the next day bo tendered
his resignation.

LONDON' , April S. Lord Salisbury has
scored a victory in the diplomatic contest
with Franco and Russia over the flrraan of
invcsture of the kbedivo of Egypt. The po
sition has for a past week harassed and per
plexed the foreign ofHco , perhaps moro than
even the Bering sea question over did. The
sultan stole a march upon English diplo
mats in sending a Hrman so phrased as to
exclude from tha Egyptian frontier the
whole Sinai peninsula and part of tbo Hod
sea which has boon bold by Egypt for half a
century. Before the firman was drafted the
English ambassador at Constantinople , alive
to some action of this sort , demanded that
tbo document sbould not introduce any ques
tion concerning the frontier and received
assurance that the firman should not touch
the khcdlve's rights.
Suspected Duplicity.
When the sultan's Aoub pasha
envoy , , ar
rived at Cairo , the British minister , Sir
Evelyn Baring , suspecting some duplicity
asked for a copy of the document , and when
Aoub Pasha refused to communlc4to the con
tents of the flrman until after the investuro
Minister Baring advised the kbedivo not to
proceed with the ceremony. A6ub Pasha
then disclosed the substance of the firman ,
the nature of xvhich bad been known to and
approved by Franco and Russia befora the
missive left Constantinople.
The consuls general at Cairo at once ar
ranged themselves on two sides , thu Italian
ajd Austrian representatives meeting at the
English embassy and tbe French and Rus
sian diplomats at the residence of the Turk
ish plenipotentiary. The Italian squadron ,
which was about to leive Alexandria , cot
orders to stay and the officers on leave wera
recalled to their Jhlps , including the admiral ,
who was junketing at Cairo.
Yesterday tno British and Italian ambas
sadors at Constantinople sent a note to tbe
grand viceroy savingibat the firman must
be altered or Aoub Pacha recalled. There
seems to have been no mistaking the em
phatic and peremptory character of the note
and there was an immediate result. A tele
gram was received bv the khedive from the
sultan today , sayiug that the firman would
be modified , omitting the definition of the
frontier.
It transpires ttiat Aoub Pasha bad two
documents of investure. ono setting o3 a
portion of Egypt and the otber consonant
with Lord SalUbury'fc view.
Tonight's Cairo dispatches say that
the statement has excited the great
est satisfaction there. Tbe foreign office
is reticent , except tbat it confirm !
the statement that tbe difficulty it
on the point of solution , although tne day for
iuvesture of the thooUve _ is not lixed. -
Meeting of the Ulster Defense Committee.
The meeting in Belfast of the Ulster de
fense "committee , the mayor presiding , 'to
provide for a convention , went & degree
beyond the recent' Ulster commissioner's
"gathering in tha violence of their tirades. "
The pretense of secrecy of the proceedings
enabled the speakers to indulge iu war-llko
trampctings , aud the resolutions recorded
Ulster's determination to have nothing to do
with the Emblin Parliament , whicb is certain
to bo controlled by men who are responsible
for the crimes of the land league , cruellies
and boycottinc , and mere tools of clerical
domination and an attempt to set up such a
parliament will inevitably result in disorder ,
violence and bloodshed to an extent that has
been unknown in Ireland fora century.
Major Saundcr ? denied tbat tne British
Parliament hud any right to band them over
to another legislature which they would
never obey , and the sentiment was received
with cheering.
T. W. Rusell predicted a ten-fold increase
of trouble in Ireland under the Dubliu Par
liament.
Finally an executive committee was ap
pointed on the public son e of tha danger
acd purport ot this agitation.
Over 100 nonconformist ministers have
agreed to bo deputies for tbo Ulsterites and
stump Great Brituin to arouse a religious
animus.
The Irish unionists In the House of Com
mons affirm tnat their policy o'f resistance to
the Dublin Parliament is limited to a refusal
to pav taxes and tbat an active armed op
position from the people is inevitable. The
home rulers in the house consider that their
best policy is to minimize tbe importance of
the movement , and have so far Ignored it.
Happening * In I'arliament.
Dr. Goshen , tbe chancellor of the ex
chequer , will usuo his annual budget on
Mouday. Before tbo house adjourns on
Tuesday for the Easter recess , tbo only gov
ernment bill uear will be the small boldiuc
bill , this being tbe barrenest record for many
weeks sitting ever known.
The Ubor candidates who refuse obedience
to the liberal electoral executive are every
where disappearing. Mr. Scnadbort's agents
have succeeded in inducing tbe district com
mittees to oust the independents * The
executive has approved twenty labor candi
dates , most of wbom are certain of election.
Tbe payment of the labor men selected is
secured partly by the general and partly by
local funds.
Mr. Gladstone had promised to vote in
support of tbo Scotch local veto bill , and tbo
government has decided to remain neutral.
The passage of tbo measure , which affirms
the local option principle , will oe a triumph
for teetotalers. Its practical application
until the new Parliament is elected will be
impossible. Out of 210 English burroughs
forty-four have elected teetotal mayors , and
this result was duly celebrated in Man
chester. The speeches then made pointed to
municipal authorities using certain Influ
ences against the liquor trade.
The great cotton spinning lockout will
begin on tbo 15th inst. There is no sign of
employers giving way. Most of tbe mills
are heavily stocked und tbe storage will bo
advantageous to them.

Dr. J'onlnskl , n OUtlncuUhed Kcclrslust of
I'utcii , A . luatcil Uy AnarchUt * .
BEULIN , April S. A utorv comes from
Poson tbat Dr. Ponioski , a high ollsb
eccleiiast , was set upon and assassinated by
four men. lie resisted desperately and killed
two ot the men. Tbe other two suicided.
Cards were found on the bodies showing
they were anarcbUti selected to kill Ponln.
sik. Tbe cause is unknown.
Further details regarding the murder of
Dr. Ponintki bUow tbat tbo first report was
inaccurate in some respects. It now appears
that Dr. Poninski was sitting in a room
when tbo four assassins appeared at tbe
house and requested to see him. They
were usuered Into tbo presence of tbe aged
doctor , who atked them their business with
bim , lu reply bo was banded a rod card oa
which wo * printed a command , signed by
the ' Committee on tbo Polish anarchists , "
catling upon bim .o surrender all tbe money
be bad ia bU possession , for the benefit of
anarchists. Tbo card stated tbat if he re
fused to obey tbo command be would bo
killed.
From his position in tbe church tbe doctor
Vt5
bid largo sums i t Vhncy , and this fact was
well known and t advantage of by the
anarchists. Dr. fllnsbl , who was very
Infirm from old as1 ; is startled from the
mc.isago banded hi : IIo rn to ft window
and jumped to the Ion. The anarchists
followed him to the window , and before he
could reach a place of safety they poured a
volley of bullets Into him. Ho Icll dead and
the. asinsilns fled , but the hlarm was riven ,
and the owner of Ko&cbiclego castle , n
brother of Dr. Ponmskl , and twenty men , at
Obco artned themselves , and mounting horses
started In pursuit of the murderers.
Death of the Murderer * .
They were soon overtaken by tbo band of
pursuers. A dospsrato batllo followed. The
pursuers fired u volley Into the croup and
one of the murderers fell dead. The band
then realized that their pursuer * were deter
mined to avenge the death of Dr. Pcninskl
and , ono of thora scelne that all bopo of es
cape was cut off , turned his weapon against
himself and blew out his brain * .
Tbo remaining two fired upon their pur
suers again , fortunately not hitting them ,
and they were replied to with another volley
that killed another of them. Tben the fourth
man , rather than surrender , shot himself
fatally.
Tbo officials of Koschlelege have made an
investigation and have already learned that
the four men were residents of Berlin ana
the- came purposely to murder Or. Ponlnskl.
The name * of two of the men were Pcla-
was Id and Urbianlk. Some persons claim
that the men wcro nothing1 but common rob
bers , who took advantage of the prevailing
feeling caused by the anarchists' out
rages to prepare the card for the pur
pose of frightening Dr. Ponlnskl Into
surrendering hU money to them. They
claim it is hardly reasonable to suppose
that the committee of Polish anarchists ,
if there is such a body , would send lour men
to rob and murder a.n old man , when one , or
at most two could have committed the crime
equally as well , with far less chance of de
tection.
The wbolo affair seems to have been bung-
llnglv arranged from the first , and none of
the facts thus far learned co to contradict
the assertion that anarchists uro to bear the
blame of a crime of which they knew noth
ing. The authorities are , however , search-
inc in every district , und If it should prova
true that the assassination was really the
work of anarchists , it is thoucht the whole
baud of conspirators will soon be arrested.
( EXTRADITION WITM GUICMANV. *
Arrangements Almost Complete for Stoning
n New Treaty.
BEKLIN , April S. Minister Phelps is mak
ing good progress with the next extradition
treaty. The treaties now existing were made
many years ago with the different govern
ment ! , of the then existing "Gerraanbund"
and contain many imperfections which have
led to several cases of injustice. The now
treaty is almost finished and will contain
many important additions to the present
catocory of extraditable crimes , such us em
bezzlement , obtaining money by false pre
tenses , perjury , rape , and crimes committed
on toe hich teas , like mutiny , etc.
The ono point of difference between
Minister Poclps and Barou von MarscbalL.
the German secretary of lorclgn affairs , is on
the provision to be made for the payment of
exponsas. The American idea Is that each
country sbould pav its own expenses. In
Oarmany the duty of securing the cap
ture and return of fugitives wanted Dy
America devolves upon the prosecutine
officers , and no chnrco Is made for their
services. The American law does not lay
these duties upon the prosecuting attorney as
in Germany , it must employ counsel and pay
'few rfcfePUBfcenan officials , therefore , think
that the treaty should make some more satis
factory arrangement.

Oae of the features of the day was their
convention at Washington Artillery hall.
Tbe hall was handsomely decorated. It was
11 o'clock when General Beban of the Louis
iana division , United Confederate veterans ,
called tbo meeting to order and made a brief
address of welcome.
Malor Wright Scbauraberi- , secretary to
Mayor Shakespeare , moved that Virginia ,
not being represented by camps , the dele
gates from that state be invited to seats on
thn floor of tbo convention without the right
to volo. .

greeted the mayor's appearance. His honor
viewed with pleasure tbe acts of the citizens
in extending to the delegates tbe hospitality
of the city.
General J. B. Gordon was next introduced
and was erected Dy tremendous applause.
General Gordon in a loud , resonant voice
said : ' 'Two thoughts impress mo as I stand
born. First , tbo abounding woaltb of kind
ness and affection extended to us by a glori
ous peoole ; and second , our poverty of words
to express our gratitude. Here uro gathered
from all parts of the south , grizzled veterans
of the south , grizzled veterans of that once
memorable and forever immortal confed
eracy. " [ Loud applause. )
General Gordon spoke of Lse.jof Hood , and
others and caused tbo veterans to demon
strate their vigorous appreciation of bis elo
quence. Ho nest spoke of the valor aad
lovalty of the confederates. Tbe old flag
nas been furled forever , the causa of sepa
rata national existence live : now only as a
memory. Old things have passed and a new
era has come , and now we are all Amencan
citizens. [ Deafening applause ) .
General Gordon concluded his speech ,
took" the chair and called to order the couvon-
tlon of United Coniederato veterans.
Committees wore then appointed on
order of business , on credentials and on
resolutions ,
The chairman then announced the presence -
enco of General Georco W. Stnwart , major
general of the division of Maryland , lue
general was iuvited to participate In the
proceedings.
General Richard Hope , commander of tbe
North Carolina division , and General Hayward -
ward of Columbia , S. C. , were also an
nounced ,

ported to tbe committee. A resolution was
offered by General Gordon as follows
HesolvcJ , That it is the sense of tbo con
vention that tbe lale confederate states
