man and two others are missing.
Washakee has notified Brigham

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special from
Omaha to-day says: A freight train on
the Union Pacific Railroad was thrown
from the track last night, at Plum
Creek Station, by the Indians. The en-
pineer, fireman and brakeman were
killed, and the merchandise was
burned. 1t Is also reported that three
or four men at the station were killed.
This outrage is supposed to have been
committed by Spotted Tails band, who

Tho pomov.I o1 Een- sheridan.

New York, August THE Times
special says: General Grant publicly
Sheridan would not be removed, and
in an evening article of the administra-
ton prints an editorial appears adyis-
ing the President against the issue of an
order to that effect. 1t is probable,
however, that neither of these state
mentswere made after consultation with
the President, as it is known he still
persists in his intention to remove
Sheridan.
General Grant says that Generals
Sherman and Hancock are both actively
engaged in the duties of their depart
ments, which cannot be interlered with,
without being detrimental to the public
service.
Rumor connects the facts that Presi-
dent johnson has telegraphed in person
to General Rousseau, ordering him to
Washington, with the removal of Gen.
Sheridan, and it is suggested that he Is
to be assigned to the Fifth District.

Pittsburgh Live stock market.

PITTSBURGH, aug. y 1901
CATTLE.-The market was much bet
ter than last week for drovers; the sup
ply being but little over one-half as
large, turned the scale In favor of sell
lers, and, we presume, that they made
up this week what they lost last. Prime
fat cattle sold at an advance of from u
axe a pound, bringing from shaS11c,
the latter figure, however, was only
realized for extra, and can hardly be
taken as fair criterion of the market.
The demand for stock cattle was very
light, and they sold slowly, and, II
ANYTHING, shade lower than last week.
The number of bulls offering within the
last few weeks has been unusually
large, and we havesale of whole droves
reported at prices ranging from 3a4c.
The whole number of cattle offered this
week did not reach over 800 to 900 head,
against 400 to 1900 head last week;
and there is but little doubt that had the
supply been as large as 1t was last
week, the market would have been full
ly as bad, if not worse, as there were
fewer foreign buyers in attendance.
SHEEP-The sheep market, also, was
better than last week. The supply was
comparatively light, and prime fat
mutton sheep, compared with last
week, ruled a shade higher. We now
quote at 415a5k for good to prime, and
3<a4 for inferior. Stakely reports hav-
ing retailed $50 head at 3a5c for sheep,
and S2a3 25 per head for lambs. r. c.
Crum sold 103 head of sheep for Sher-
rick, at 311<a5, and John Wernz sold 107
head very inferior lambs at 81 81 per
head.
Hoes.-The market for this class OF
stock is quiet and unchanged-the
operations are almost entirely of re-
tail character. Limerick q Co. bought
25 head at 70, and retailed about the
usual number at last weeks prices.

CHARLESTON, August THE counsel
of John Frazier & Co. have prepared a
lengthy answer to the bill of complaint
filed against them blythe Government
in the q. s. District Court. They deny
the allegation that the Charleston firm
was agent for the Confederate Govern
ment for the purpose alleged in the bill,
and rest their case upon the pleading
made by the Liverpool firm in England
upon the settlement there agreed upon,
as conclusion of controversy. The
Charleston house will move for disso-

from using the property. The

NEW YORK, Aug. THE report of
the Commissioner of Immigration rela-
tive to the IT deaths of cholera aboard
the Austrian ship says: The bread was
.mouldy and disgusting;th there was Meth

were Insufficient in quality. The -reat-

them was in consequence of bad food

outrages and cruelties were committed
to save few hundred dollars. The 2C
passengers who have died on board
have been murdered. The report en-

Report of General Butler on Ex-
change of Prisoners During the
Rebellion.
- NEW York, August THE Tribune
publishes General Buffers report as
Commissioner of Exchange, during
norton of the rebellion, from
which it appears that in December,
1858, he found the confederate Generals
anxious te exchange man for man; but
the confederate government refused to
treat with General Butler, on the
grounds that he commanded negro
troops. Notification to that effect was
sent to our Government, which refused
to admit the right of the confederate au-
thorities to outlaw our officers. Inc
exchange was continued until March,
1854, when General Butler had inter
views withtCommissioner Ould, which
convinced him that retaliation would
compel the rebels to abandon their re-
fusal to exchange colored soldiers. The
Government,o on being Informed ofthese
facts, referred the matter to General
Grant, who, in April, directed General
Butler to decline, until otherwise or
dered, all further negotiations, and
shortly after instructed him to consid-
er the determination of the rebels to
make distinction between white and
colored prisoners, as the refusal on
their part to agree to further ex-
change. Gen. Butler was also instruct
ed to receive all the sick and wounded
that the rebels would give up, but to
send no more in exchange. In August,
the rebels offered to renew the e1-
change, man for man. General Grant
then telegraphed the following import
ant order:
at is hard on our men held in South
ern prisons not to exchange them, but
it is humiliating to those left in the
ranks to fight our battles. Every man
released on parole or otherwise, be.
comes an active soldier against us al
once, directly or indirectly. five com.
mence system of exchange which will!
have to fight on until the South is ex.
terminated. If we hold those caught;
they amount to no more than dead
men. At this particular time, to re-
lease all the rebel prisoners in the
North would insure Gen. Shermant
defeat, and would compromise oul
safety here" 49,

The Johnson.stanton quarrel.

New York, Aug. THE Herald's
special says: The Secretary of War has
refused the Presidents polite invitation
to retire from office. The Presidents
length, and simply states that grave
public considerations solicit him to re-
quest Mr.. Stanton's resignation. Mr..
Stanton's answer was also very brief,
and intended to be severe and cutting.
1t Is not decided what steps Mr.. John
son will next take, but think he will
notify Mr.. Stanton that he Is no longer
Secretary of War, and must vacate
forthwith.
After the adjournment of the cabinet
meeting, the President was closeted
with his secretary until 10 O'Clock to-
night. 1t is supposed it had reference
to the Stanton imbroRlio.
The subject of Stanton's removal has
been the absorbing topic of CONVERSE
ton to-day in every circle, and there
has been much speculation to learn
what will next transpire.
Among prominent officials, many are
of the general opinion that the Presi-
dent has power to remove Mr.. Stanton
under the supervision of the LIST section
of the tenure of Office bill.
Mr.. Stanton kept himself almost COM
pletely shut up in his private office to-
day.
It is said that Secretary Seward is not
altogether in favor OF the Rresluents
action in this matter, and that he and
Thurlow Weed are about to strive to
save Mr.. Stanton's head again. a year
ago, when there were serious thoughts
of removing Mr.. Stanton, Mr.. Weed's
and Mr.. Raymond's influence coupled
with Mr.. Stewards entreaties, induced
the President to abandon the removal,
1t is now said, by the friends of the
President, that Mr.. Stanton's offences
amount to complete system of thwart-
ing the President, obstructing his policy
in every way, land insulting him repeat
eddy in his official interviews. The
President, it is claimed, has determined
| to tolerate this no longer and has set
his foot down firmly.
The Tribune's special says: Under
the civil tenure of Office bill Mr.. John
son does not feel satisfied that he can
remove Secretary Stanton, because OF
the phraseology quoted here: "Shall
hold their offices respectively during
the term of Office of the President, by
whom they have been appointed" But
he feels satisfied that he can suspend
Stanton and prohibit him from execu-
| ting the duties of war minister. This lat
ter point was submitted to the Cabinet.
and they agreed that the President
could so suspend. Mr.. Johnson will
therefore, in a day or two, notify Mr.
| Stanton that he will not hold any
further official relations with him, and
that he cannot be admitted to Cabinet

Meeting of the indian Commission.

ers.
ST. LOUIS, August 7.-At the pro-
ceedings of the meeting of Indian
commissioners, yesterday, Col. Taylor,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, was
elected permanent Chairman of the
Board, and A. s. II. White, of the In
dian Bureau, Secretary. a general
discussion of plans for getting the In
dams together WAS had, but nothing
definite was determined upon. 1t is
probable, however, that an attempt
will be made to assemble the northern
Cheyennes, Sioux, Blackfeet, and other
northern hostile tribes, somewhere on
the Platte river, perhaps Fort Laramie,
and the southern Cheyennes, Arrapa-
hoe, and other southern tribes, at Fort
zarah, or some other point
on the Arkansas river. 1t is deemed
important to meet those Indians at the
earliest day possible, but as they only
assemble in council during the full
moon, the meeting cannot take place
until early in September. AS the next
full moon will be in seven days, 1t
will not give the commissioners time to
communicate with the different tribes.
In the meantime the board expect to
examine the western country with the
view to select a reservation for the hos
tile tribes, and also with further view
to domiciliating, If possible, all the tribes
west of the Mississippi, hostile and
friendly, in process of time. Itthey do
not complete such selections prior to
the Indian meeting they will continue
1t afterwards, being convinced of the
necessity of making a thorough and
personal examination of the territory
to be selected. The Commissioners
present are Col. Taylor, Gen. Sanborn,
Col. Toppan, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Har-
ney and Senator Henderson. General
Terry at last accounts was at Red Wing,
Mimi, and will join the Commissioners
somewhere on the Plains. The Board
will hold another session to-day.
