| ST. LOUIS, April 20.
Yesterday afternoon Michael Reyoir,
a farmer Valentine Walker, half-breed
Indian, and James Williams, school
teacher, and an old gentleman over 60
years of age, were in the saloon of Jacob
Blair, at Bridgetown, twenty miles from
this city, when Walker and Revoir got
into dispute and Mr.. Williams inter-
posed in behalf of Revoir, whereupon the
Indian savagely dragged him out of the
saloon, flung him on the ground, and
pounded his head with large rock,
| crushing the skull in fearful manner,
and killing him almost instantly. Revoir,
who at first was somewhat dazed at the
suddeness and ferocity of Walkers at
tack, recovered himself and attempted to
stop the bloody work of the savage, when
the latter turned upon him, felled him to
the ground with fence rail, inficting a
wound upon his head which will prob
ably result fatally. Walker Immediately
fled. 1t is supposed that he is concealed
in this city.

tonians crossed the river with seven
horses stolen from ranchmen. Fifty In

NEW YORK, April 26.
The Star route scandal still exercises
the New York papers. The Times
Washington correspondent devotes his
attention to more Eastern offenders this
morning. The Worlds reporter says: 1t
is now said that prosecution could be
brought only on suspicious, and that
enough of circumstantial evidence could
not be adduced to secure conviction in a
criminal suit, although mere recital of
the facts would be morally convincing to
any one who chose to read it. The only
other method of bringing those who are
involved to punishment, that seems to
have occurred to the Postotfice Depart
ment is through Congressional investi-
cation, but the recent decision in the
Supreme Court in the Kilborn case would
sustain Brady, Dorsey & Co. in defying a
Congressional Committee.

LONDON, April "a.
The International Monetary Confer
ence, which Mr.. Evarts takes SO much
interest in, is little understood or heard
OF here The few papers which takes
any notice of its proceedings are hostile
to it. The Economist says: eff the
action of the United States is in any way
dependent on that of England, the re.
lection of bi-metallist proposals follows
as matter Of course. This country Ger.
tainly will never consent to their adop-
ton" The Saturday Review also decides
that the bi-metallic plan is impossible;
and the Pail Mall Gazette says: eng
land can no more adopt bi-metallism than
she can change her language" The Pail
Mall Gazette advises England not to mix
herself up with "the coterie of doctrin-
aries and the interested vendors of silver
now gathering at Paris" These are the
only influential papers which have made
any reference to the conference.
