(Special Tele gram.) Official information from Omaha was received today from Mnjor General A. TV. Grecly. commanding tho northtrn divi sion, elating that the Uto Indians now off their reservation arid surrounded by troops are In a mood to listen to argument. Gen ral Greely lias asked the socretnry of war to request the secretary of the Interior to order an Inspector to accompany Woman's Terres from Pine IUle und American Horse of the Cheyenne river reservation to Gillette, Wyo accompanied by the. very best Interpreter who can be had, In order that there may be a full and free confer ence between tho Indians and soldiers pending their return to the Unltah reserva tion. These two Indians are looked upon as the i-leverest of their people and Chief Appnh desires to have them present at the council with the. white men. Yesterday General Greely, wiring to the military secretary from Omaha relative to the Wyo ming situation and runaway Utes, old: "Captains Johnson and rax tun. Tenth cavMlry, striking Vte trail on X2d, reached their camp on Spring creek and Little Powder river forty miles from Gillette, where a council u held with Chief Appuh's band on the morning of the 23d. It would uppear that the band camped with Appah contested of about DUO, with few Women and children in sight, and about UO ilghtinK men. They are fully armed, have, their belts full of ammunition, and bave from 300 to 4T0 good ponies, 10,000 pounds of flour, purchased In Gillette, and a large amount of venison. Their trans portation Is mostly travols, with a few old wagons. Indians to He Takes to Meade. "Willi sullen and uncommunicative with reference to the subject of their return to the Uintah reservation, yet they ex- ,h l, tl.le rlv-.n. . ii. tu, ,,,- hB. and expressed un Intention of conducting themselves peacefully und lawfully. In this connection I have Iwcn unable to ascertain uny illegul acts by them, except the killing Of game. They- delayed moving to hold a council with Johnson and Pnjttou. but declined to remain where they were pending further councils. At noon on the 22d the entire bund moved down the Little Powder with the announced Inten tion of proceeding to Cherry creek. In the Blutk Hills, .but in Captain Johnson's opinion they are heuded for Montana. Johnson states that thoy will certainly not return to the reservation unless compelled by a decidedly superior force, and is fur thelr of the opinion that they will resist any small force, In which opinion Major Grlerson Joins. Under these conditions, In order to avoid bloodshed. I have ordered Colonel Rogers and six troops of the Sixth cavalry to take the field with Belle Kourche as a baen. He has been instructed to In tercept Appah's band and compel them to return with him to Tort Meade, where the entire band of Indians will be held as prisoners awaiting Instructions from the j War department as to tneir disposition. Rogers has been instructed to deal tact fully with them and avoid recourse to force save In the last extremity, but his orders are positive to bring the entire band into Fort Meade. Major Grlerson has been ordered to follow the Utes with two troops, his only force, two other troops being snowbound near Crawford. Major Grlerson Is directed to avoid any resort to arms, as his force Is inferior to the reported light ing strength of the Vte, but he will keep In contact with thorn and keep these head quarters advised of their movements. Store Troops May Be Seeded. "Should they proceed toward the thcy eune reservation it will become necessary to put the remainder of the Fort Robinson gurrlion In tho tlelu, operating from some suitable point 011 the Burlington railroad near tehtrtdan as a base. In this contin gency the Keogli command, which has been kept ready lor the field, may be calKd Into play. The character of the country, the great distances agd the unusually early advent of winter storms will necessarily entail hardships, and of course the ex peuisea of operations must be considerable. Although the original orders to cause the return of the Utes to their reservations were btiaed on a formal call of the gove rnor of Wyoming, yet it Is assumed that the rnlllt at y operations are to continue even thoufih the Indians enter South Da kota or Montana, and even though they carry out their announced Intention of lawful and peaceful procedure.

In the meantime, should the clergy refuse to yield, a ministerial declaration will be Issued. Indicating very clearly th" Inten tion of the csblnet to ask Parliament for special legislation to meet the situation. The nture of the measures contemplated, however, will not be disclosed, although if is announced that they have -Teen agreed upon. Some of the newspapers declare that the council of state, after consideration of the question of what constitutes a legal association under the law. Is prepnred to render a decision that only associations formed with the consent of the forme church wardens and parish priests are legally entitled to take over church prop erty, those formed by outsiders having no previous connection with the church mar dens or parish priests, being Irregular. If this proves to be correct, the decision will give an Impetus to schls'n. as of all the associations thus far constituted but two have the concurrence of both the parish priest and church wardens, and these have been formally Interdicted by the bishops. BORDEAUX. France, Oct. ?. Cardinal Lecot, archbishop of Bordeaux, has Issued an appeal to the faithful not to Join "false Catholics and bad priests" In the forma tion of associations to take over church property, and warns the parishioners who disobey his Injunction that they will lose the right to confess and receive the sacra ment and. notified the priests that they will be prohibited from preaching and udminis- 1 lerlng the sacraments, adding that "those who wrongfully acquire church property j will not only die In a state of sin, but the . obligation will rent upon their rysterity ! ao long as the memory of the robbery 1 endure" POPE SEES GERMAN OFFICIAL Secretary Tan Tnrhlrakjr Talks Affairs with Head of Cathollo burcli. f HO .ME, Oct.

Aft.r a whirl of hulf a day over n section of northeastern Ohio WlUium J. Bryan spoke here at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon for an hour to a large audience In the Auditorium. He had plonned a visit to the McKlnley tomb, but a belated train disarranged the schedule and be ,was forced to omit the trip. In opening his, address Mr. Bryan referred to McKlnley as follows: In former canvasses of this state I have nrtt had the oonortnnltv to speak st Canton as some ether people, have. This was u to the fact that my opponent's home was here. We always recognise local pride. That I was defeated in two former cam paigns by a man whose spirit-of private life and public character were , so high and po universally admitted will always give me a sense of comfortable pleasure. A complimentary reference was made to the work of President Roosevelt. "Why Is It that the president stands out In popularity?" asked Mr. Bryan, "It Is 1 because he 'is the one man who has had courage enough to abandon a republican platform and follow a democratic platform. But don't blame the president for adopting democratic Ideas. He could not go In the j right direction Hnd do anything else. We have had our fight for years, and now we are going In the re me direction, repub- llcane, democrats and populists, with 'demo crats away ahead."

The attempt on tbe part of the railroad lobby to make it appear through editorial, admittedly written by the lobby and paid for by the railroads, that this measure. If enacted Into law, wonld affect taxes to be paid by the railroads for state, county and school purposes la Indefensible and deserves prompt and vigorous rebuke at the hands of all who believe that the truth should be know with respect to every public measure and who object to the escape of taxation by tbe railroads for state, county, olty or school purposes. We believe it to be the (duty of every democratlo member- of the legislature to vote for Mouse atoll 171 and register his protest in an effective way against the at tempt of the railroads to deceive the peo ple, and through such deception escape their proportion of taxation. This resolution was thoroughly discussed and was adopted by a unaulmous vote of the association. Action of Democratic F.JHors. The World-Herald congratulates the Dem ocratic Editorial Association of Nebraska upon the adoption of a resolution endorsing House Roll 171 (providing for municipal taxation of railway terminals). Although I the railroad lobby l exerting Its best ef- j forts to hoodwink the people with respect J to this bill, It hus failed to pull the wool over the optics of the democratic editors of this state. The democratic editors have taken the correct position. It Is to be hoped that tho suggestion they mnke to the members of the legislature will be adopted by nt least every democratic and populist member. Omaha World-Herald, February 6, 1903.

It places the iltj tu u class that Is looked up to by moil and women of affairs throughout tho country and stimulates among the cltlsenshlp a deal re for the better and ennobling thing' of life. Whatever speculative opinions may have been entertained previously regarding the Omaha Horse Show have since com pletely vanished to make way for a per manent place In the hearts of Omaha peo ple. Many who merely regarded the hoise as a four-footed animal and as an object of labor or speed, or even show, now re gard the horse as something worthy of a . higher place In the list of man's posea- .. slons. The educational results of the show ars manifest not only In the mnnner In which the good animals are recognised the mo ment they enter the ring, but in the In creasing number of really good horses owned and driven In the city. At the time the first Horse Show was talked of tho number of really fine animals In the city were few and the number of stylish equipages still leea. Todoy few If any cities of Omaha's slse can boast of so many hlgli clussj hojrses or .stylish turnouts. This bet torment is not noti'd slone among those who exhibit at the show, but the example of these has been emulated as far as means would permit by hundreds of others. Fifth Mgbt Ip to Standard Last evening the fifth of the 19o Hors Show week, did not suffer any by conipai l son with the other evenings of the week. In spite of the bad weather. The horses were as animated as ever, tho Judgos as alert, the spectators us keen to discern the various Teatures offered for their delecta tion and the beautifully gowned women u lUuctlve M on ,ny other evening of the present season. The boxes and arena seats were wtll filled, while the balcony seats were fairly well taken. In all, the crowd was of goodly proportions and highly appreciative and uttentlve, even If the en thusiasm was not as noticeable as on pre vious occasions. But It Is remembered that Horse Show votaries do not show thtlr feelings after the manner of the base bull fan or foot ball crank. One of the inspiring features of the even- harness of the best patterns. These noble animals, evidently conscious of their ex cluelvenees. were sent around the tunbank and put through trials that sroueed the crowd to a high point of enthusiasm. J. M. Kuykendall, one ot the Judges, took the lines of the Swift team and took a whirl around on his own account, but evidently the Swift driver had been doing eon driv ing before Friday evening, for he could turn the outfit in its own space and them do some more surprising stunts with tbe big wagon and its six noble horses. Impartial with Applanae. While tne slx-horsc team event was go ing on the crowd filed In and was well seated when the tlrst regular event, class V). harness horses was announced. The exhibitors tn that event were all local owners and as the equipages passed trie- ' boxes chejrs were generously offered by I thoee who wanted to see their fuvorltu ' win a prise, but when the winners wer 1 determined those who. had cheered for other burses were not stingy In giving due honor to the winners. The upoearano' of the hunters lust evening elicited a gen- erous ro-ind of applause. The element .f exhilaration which enters Into that, sport seems Infectious. Interest In the Jumpers, saddle ponies and four-ln-hands was unabated. The four-ln-hands always appeal to the spectators and are In high favor when on the tanbark. I Last evening was Bt. Joseph night, which ! designation of the evening served to bring a number of horsemen and women from the Missouri city.
