ervation. Prospectors never went 10
| Washington to urge Congress to disre-
gard the treaty Tha Northern Utes
who attacked Thornburg were not in
terested in the demand of the Los Pinos

probably the failure of the Government
to pay the $40, 1000 due under the Bru-
nat treaty Of 1873, by which the San

A Providence special to the New
York World says Governor Sprague
has decided not to recognize Mrs.
Sprague's trustee. He will hold c.
noIehet, as far as the law allows, for
| his personal benefit, but will surrender
| 70 Mrs. Sprague without delay AVID
without reserve whatever she may
prove to be her own. The remainder
he will hold for the benefit of the
.Sprague Manufacturing Company. He
thus antagonizes Z. Ghaffee, trustee of
| the Spragae. estate. He denounces
| Mrs. Spsague's trustee. and her lawyers
as consprators, and threatens to bring
| action against them. This attitude

| who will have to fight both her Las band
and Chaffee, who dislikes her greatly.
| The affair, cannot be settled. without
| further litigation, and all the interested
parties are in state of indignation.
