Herders Suspicious of the Indians

WASHINGTON, July IA dispatch has
been received at the Interior Department
from number of large herders in Mon
tana, stating. that about 900 COmanche
Indians froIk the Pine Ridge Agency, in
Dakota, have left their reservation and
are now on the Rosebud, Powder and
Horn rivers in a starving condition.
StOckmen fear depredations on their
cattle and desire the department to take
immediate action looking to the recall of
the Indians to their agency. The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has instructed
the agent at Pine Ridge to investigate the
truth of the statements.
MILES CITY, MONT, July 1.-Tbe COM
mlttee appointed by the citizens of Eastern
Montana telegraphed to Secretary Teller
urging the immediate removal of the
Northern Cheyenne Indians now on the
Tonffue and Rosebud rivers. There are
more than 800 without ratiOns and stary-
ing, having nothing to subsist on except
range cattle, which they are killing in
large numbers. Stockmen will make
armed resistance if they are not moved,
and the result Will be serious trouble
with the Indians, who are independent
and ugly. The Indians are renegades
from Pine Ridge and have no agency or
agent here. The situation is serious.

FITz JOHN PoBTER's BILL.
Powe rful Influences Tagging at IN,
President with Contrary Aims.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Cabinet
was in session to-day until nearly 5
O'Clock. 1t was discussing the Fitz John
Porter bill. At the capitol the opinion
prevailed that this was the tenth day
from the day when the bin was presented
TO the President, and that therefore he
would have to announce its fate this
afternoon. This was mistake. The bill
after its passage was presented to fhe
President by Gen. Slocum and Gov. Cur
tin on June q. Two Sundays have to be
taken out OF the succeeding period. so
that the ten days limit expires on Thurs
day. The general belief among Senators
and Representatives who share the Presi-
dents confidence is that he will veto the
bill. If he does so it will be against his
own judgment, and on account of the
urgency Of the majority of his Cabinet.
backed by a personal appeal from Senator
Logan and all the Congressional influence
which the opponents of Fitz John Porter
could command. Gen. Logan represented
to the President that his signing the bill
would damage the chances of the Re-
publican ticket this fall The President
has throughout taken Fitz John Porter's
side. The friends Of Fitz John Porter
are still hOpei ! that his bin
may be signed, but they admit that the
chances are now against it. They are
falling back upon the theory that the
President may neither sign nor refuse to
sign, thus permitting the bill to become a
law. The enemies of Fitz John Porter
say, however, that the President will veto
the bill as matter of political necessity.
1t is long time since such powerful in
tluences have been brought to bear on the
President as in this case.

A SAN FRANCISCO HANGING.
Execution of George A. Wheeler-A Remark
able Story of Love and Crime.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, 90 George A. Wheeler,
a native of Gorhanl, Me-, respectfully connected,
formerly in the employ of the Rogers Company,
Boston, and who stranged his sister@m-law,
Adele J. Tillson, in this city, on Oct 20, $780,
was hanged at 1854 to-day. Adele Tillson was a
younger sister of Wheeler's wife. He became
enamoured with her in New York, and an I'm
lawful intimacy followed, child was born.
and the wife condoned the offense and continued
to permit her sister to live with them, fully
aware that the Ecriminal intimacy between the
two continued. They came here in 1880, when
another child was born to the sister-i,-law
Shortly after, young miner met Miss Tillson
admired her, proposed and was accepted. When
Wheeler learned the fact he entered his
sister-in-law's room took her in his
lap, pretending to joke with her, seized her by
the throat and cholled her to death. He squeezed
the body into an empty Saratoga trunk, proceeded
to the police station and surrendered himself,
assigning a cause that he could not see her
become the wife of any man, A series Of trials
followed. Every effort was made to save the
mans neck, but on three different occasions he
was sentenced to death. At an early hour this
morning crowd of 5000 people assembled out
side OF the jail. The demand for entrance tick
cts was so great that they were at $40 premium.
When led from his cell, Wheeler evinced unex
pected frmness, and helped the officers fix the
straps on his legs. The only visible emotion
was twitching of lips He was attended by
a Catholic priest. Although brought up a
Quaker he sigliiied desire to die in
the Catholic faith. Being asked by the sheriff
if he had anything to say, he replied: Il forgive
the world may the world forgive me-" The
priest extended the crucifx, which he kissed,
saying, Jesus, into Thy hands / commend my
spirit" The signal was given and the trap fell
His neck was broken and death was instantane-
Gus; not muscle of the body quivered The
female desire for notoriety manifested itself in
vorced woman, who frequently visited Wheeler
in his cell, and insisted last night on being mar
ried to the stranger. Wheeler expressed will
ingness, but the sheriff took measures toprevent
the ceremony.

Church Meetings.

AT the First Baptist Church. the service last
evening was largely attended, and a very deep
feeling pervaded the entire congregation. After
short song-service, led by Mr. Bently, Mr.
Mabie discoursed briefly on the trial of faith ex
emplifed by Abraham's offer of his son Isaac as
sacrifice, and drawing q very telling comparison
between Gods requirement of Abraham and the
sacrifices with which men of to-day are called
upon to prove their faith; after which Mr..
Bently followed with a song, which deeply i'm
pressed all present. There were several con-
versions.
Meetings are in progress at the North Baptist
Church, with an increasing interest. They begin
at O'clock with a song service for half an hour
which is followed by short sermon by the pas
tor, Rev. r. E. Neighbor

Circle ParIz and tEe Horton Monumel


Mr.. W. H. Visscher, in Il letter to the Denver
Tribune, thus describes Circle Park and its sur
roundings:
The little park in which this monument to
one who was the right man in the right place
when his State most needed such a man, is
beautiful picture in itself. 1t is "a perfect circle
which, if it were squared, would make about one
block in the city of Denver. Circle street runs
around it, and the buildings which face it are
each the segment of a circle i'll their front.
These buildings are almost entirely, of superb
architecture, and are from three to five stories
high, and among them is an imposing stone
church, with ivy covered walls, and the English
Opera-h house, which is grand build
ing. The park is filed with trees
and shrubbery, and rises in the center,
where the statue stands, uniformly and grad
ually, perhaps ten feet from the street all
around. An electric light gives it brightness at
night From my hotel window, which over
looks the park. took view of it at 3 o'clock
this morning, and there saw picture long to be
remembered for quiet and weird beauty. In the
brilliant light the snow glinted and Glistened,
the windows of the buildings shimmered fan
tastically in the lights and shades of the fight
ing darkness struggling against the electric
beams. The winter-stripped trees appeared as
skeleton phantoms; there was no sound save the
moan of the winds, which seemed to be singing
an unearthly requiem about the somber spires
no living thing could be seen, and there, amid it
all stood the colossal figure Of Morton, mantled
with great American flag, which few hours
later should be drawn aside to unveil once more
to devoted people an admired and well-loved
faro -

Democrat to fiji the vacancy it would leave the
Senate tie as between the Republicans and
Democrats, with Malone holding the balance of

Slow to Learn Wisdom.

National Republican.
The friends of General Boynton confidently
assert that Mr.. Keifer will not dare to call for
a special committee to investigate the charges
he has given to the public with reference to an
alleged attempt ON the part of certain CORE
spondents to lobby measures through the House,
and state that in the event the investigation now
in progress shall take such shape as will admit
of the committee on accounts bringing this
phase of the matter to the attention of the
House, there is no probability of the ex-
Speaker taking advantage of his privilege as
member to open the door for any debate
as to the proprety of further inquiry into the
truth or falsity of the charges he has made pab
lie. One of these gentlemen said that it was
clear to his mind that Mr. Keifer already re-
GREETED that he had been indiscreet enough to
provoke this issue, and would now he extremely
happy to be relieved from the consequences of
his illadvised utteranees.
