The New York Times of Wednesday says:
A brief advertisement in a morning Journal
invited the creditors of Dancan, Sherman Il

TOwnshend's office in the Bennett Building.
A reporteI of the Times called at 12:l5 O'Clock
and found i've creditors present, one OF them
being Mr.. Townshend himself Mr. Town
shend did not wish to proceed to business
with so small an audience, and having
waited until 1910 he adjourned the meeting
sine die. In converse ton with the writer
Mr.. Townsheni said he had mad an inter
view both with Mr.. Shipmau. the assignee,
ana Mr.; duncan, on Monday last, and that
ne could get no information whatever IRON
either of them. He wanted to know from
Mr.. Duncan the probable amount of assets,
ana an, what dividend was likely TO be paid To
unwilling To give the required information.
Mr.. Townshend put TO him very pertinent
question. "Mr. Duncan. how did you ascer-
tain you were bankrupt? lou must have

statement OF how the affairs OF the concern

Mr.. Townshend next protested against Mr.
Shlpman acting as assignee. He was the at
torney for the bankrupt firm, and would nat
urally do all in his power To protect them;
their interests and not the interests of the
creditors were more likely 10 be consulted.
lie had been their confidential LAWYER for
years, and although Mr.. Townshend hal the
highest respect for Mr.. Shipman, and be-

A Hint 90 Adventurous Miners.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.l
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 2l.--An
army officer just returned from fort
near the Black Hills country says that
the mining Adventures are following a
'will.of.the-wisp;" that if they escape
the military they will certainly be de.
stroyed by the Sioux. This officer has
had special jurisdiction over a considera.
BILE portion Of the Sioux country, and
speaks from personal knowledge when he
says that that tribe has never been more
determined upon any subject than il now
is to prevent the entering Of white set.
tiers in the Black Hills country in viola.
lion Of the treaty.
The Interior Department has received
no further details relative to the Black
NUS negotiotion. An interview pub.
lished in the Omaha Herald, in which ex.
Senator Thayer Of Nebraska claims the
entire credit for setting on foot the nego.
tlations for a treaty with the Sioux, is
ridieulously absurd. The negotiation
has long been in contemplation by the In.
terror Department. and the more recent
action Of the government was instigated
by Senators Paddock and Hitchcock of
Nebraska, and Delegate Steele Of wyom
ing Territory.

DIR kenealy's Motion TO Investigate--
His Charges Against the Chief JUS
tice--The Motion Has NO supporters
but the Mover.

In the British House Of Commons, Fri.
day evening, the ODD inst, DR.. Kenealy
rose and moved that royal commission
be appointed to investigate the circum.
stances of the Tichborne case. In pow
erful speech in support Of his resolution
kenealy alluded to the growing dissatisfac.
ton at the result ofthe trials and the man.
ner in which they had been conducted by
the bench. Nothing short of royal
commission of enquiry would content
the people of England, who were
convinced that justice had not been
done. He stated he had received
many letters from America to the same
effect. The discomfort had grown into a
torrent which was pouring over the land.
The late ministry partly owed its downfall
to its conduct. With regard to
the Tichborne case he asserted he
had positive proof that the chief Justice,
Sir Alex. Cockburn, in society, while the
trial was in progress, said he would give
the claim ant fifteen years Imprisonment.
He spoke in severe terms of the Petten
drcigh forgeries; and stated that the
claimant was unable TO call more witness
es for the lack Of funds. The penalties
for contempt Of court had been
directed against one side only. The wit.
nesses were brow.beaten, and the parti.
atty of the bench was patent throughout
the proceedings. kenealy declared he
had sacrificed himselfto his sense ofhonor
and duty, and had been irretrievably
ruined in his profession. file believed the
motion before the house would never be
renewed in its present form. II was inn
possible to predict the result il this com.
mission should be refused. The defeat Of
the motion would spread dismay through.
out the country. DIR. kenealy spoke
three hours. lie was followed by Mr..
Nhalley, who seconded the motion. Sir
Richard Baggalay opposed the appoint.
ment Of commission, for which there
was not the slightest ground Of iustifca.
ton. The observations alleged TO have
been made by the Chief Justice were
grossly misunderstood and misinterpretcd.
Mr. Whalley remarked the house seem.
cd TO be interested in the suppression Of
an inquiry which would lead to the expos.
ure Of q Catholic conspiracy against the
Tichborne claimant.
Sir Henry James, who was attorney
general under the late Gladstone minis.
try, denounced the motion as an attack
on the jury system. and declared the com.
mission asked for unprecedented.
Mr.. Disraeli said Or. Kenealy's speech
was thrice told tale. The charges Of
misconduct made against the chief justice
were entirely unsupported. Abiding q
