Dorsey and Brady made their threats of IL
bel suits and political exposures on their own
responsibility. Their counsel think that, af-
ter consultation with them, they will abandon
all such purposes. Brady has changed his
mind already, and Dorsey is expected to fol-
low. They are occupied just now in paying
their counsel. Dorsey has given Ingersoh, it
is said, So, GOO as forestate of what he will
do for him when he is in better financial con-
dition. Ingersoll is interested with Dorsey
in several western speculations, from which
both hope for great returns. In addition to
this, Dorsey is reported to have paid Inger-
soils associate counsel Carpenter and Day-
idge, $4,000 each. This is probably exag-
gerated Brady is said to have paid Judge
Jere Wilson, his chief counsel, S25, 900, and
JEFF Chandler, his associate, $1,000 to S2O,-
900. Lesser sums were paid by the great de-
PENDANTS to lesser lawyers. Vale and Miner
are credited with 1926, 600 fee to their coun.
sci, Henkle. An intimate friend of both says
that the popular belief that Brady is poor and
Dorsey is rich is wrong. He says Brady is
rich and Dorsey comparatively poor. Dorsey
has locked up $500, 900 in that big rancho in
the southwest. Outside of that he has q very
small fortune for a bon vivant. Brady, on
the other hand, is said to have made 81 ,OOO,-
900 in oil and stocks since last summer.

The eTectual and comparatively easy man.
nor in which Gen. Crook triumphed over the
warlike Apaches causes q leading Western
journal to think that we have had the last OF for
midable Indian outbreaks. EAST of the Miss
issippi, this paper says nothing is left of
the Indian except the names he gave and the
graves of his dead, with here and there the
degraded remnants of once powerful tribe,
dragging out miserable life by the suffer-
ance of their conquerors" At the farther
West the enemy that once camped in sight
of the Atlantic has reiterated almost to the
shores of the Pacific, and from that long re-
treat there can be no returning advance.
Discouraged and demoralized, helpless and
hopeless, the aborgines await their fate and
the outbreaks, growing more infrequent and
feeble, are the result Of desperation, or of a
blind instinct, rather than of any purpose or
expectation of driving back the invaders of
their homes. The building of railroads and
the rapid filing up of the northwestern and
southwestern territory have combined to rem
der any prolonged resistance impossible, and
to rob even raids of much of their former
terror. Whatever may be the success Of ef-
forts to conform the Indians to a rude cviliz
alton, to make them self.supportng, and to
educate their children, it is manifest that
there can be no more hostilities of any great
magnitude.

There was great excitement approaching q
panic in Chicago last Saturday, caused by
the failure of McGeoch, Everngham & Co.,
the heaviest dealers in lard and other pro-
visions at the Chicago board. The failure
was due to an attempt to "corner" July lard
The firm held 800, 600 tierces and their liza
bilities are placed at from 81, 800, 600 to So
500, 600. Other failures were soon announced,
and the effect was to be seen at once in the
quotations of lard and July options, which
having on Friday run up to $11.57} and
closed steady at $ll,5j, sold down to SlOG5
as an initial drop, and kept on descending
until $500 was reached which would be
equal in point of comparison to a drop of 10
cents per bushel in wheat. For a time the
whole provision market was greatly excited
and unsettled.

There will be demand for "home tried"

testimony taken in the investigation into the
processes and materials used in making
prime steam lard, now in progress in Chi
oago. One of the chemists said that he
found in the samples submitted to him beef
or sheep fat and cotton seed oil to the extent
of not less than 10 per cent. A steamftter
testified that, instead of the simple machin-
cry needed for rendering pure lard from hog
fat, he had been employed to put up compli-
Gated oontrivances for the reduction and min
Cling of various other substances, such as
oottonBeed oil, tallow, etc. Other testimony
