TOPEKA, Kan, July S.-The sheriff of
Kingman county states that news has been
received there that NeScaturga, little town
of $50 people, is in possession of the In
dians, and that Coldwater, sOmes miles
further west, is surrounded by them. The
sheriff says these reports may be sensa-
tional. but he requests GOV. Martin to
send arms, so they may be prepared. The
governor has ordered the military COM
panies at Larned, Winfield, Wellington
and Sterling TO be ready to move at
moments notice and has directed the sheriff
OF Finney county and the mayor of Dodge
City TO organize forces and send out run
ners TO notify the settlers. Gen. Augur
telegraphs Gov. Martin that he has no in
formation from Fort Reno of an outbreak
there, but he has ordered three companies
of cavalry to Barbour county. The general
superintendent of the Topeka & Santo Fe
railway has been directed by the quarter
master, Gillis, at Fort Fort LeavenwOrth to
send cars to Fort Riley at once TO transport
troops south. a force of men were at work
at the arsenal here most of last night get
ting state arms ready for shipment. A re-
port comes from Prate Center that large
number of settlers had arrived there, fleeing
from the Indians, who are reported moving
north. They also report the massacre of a
family named Schofield on Spring creek.

Maltreating Convicts.

CHARLESTON, S. c., July S.-About the
middle of June Gov. Thompson was in
formed that the convicts employed in grad
ing the Savannah Valley railway in Able
vile county were cruelty treated and one
convict had died IN consequence of brutal
whippings by the guard, and that they were
overwOrked and that excessive mortality
prevailed among them. The governor i'm
mediately instructed the superintendent of
the penitentiary to investigate the charges.
The official report, which has just been
made, shows that sixteen deaths have oc-
CURED since Jan. 1, out Of a total force of
100 convicts; that seven were unable to
work; that the convicts are required to
march nearly three miles TO their work
with shackles on their legs; that on ac-
count of the bad quality of their food sour

there has been excessive cruelty in punish

TREACuERY OF 4 SENATOR.
Mcpherson of New jersey Denies the
Political Charges.

NEW YORK, July S.-The True Ameri-
can of Trenton, n. j., has published a
charge based on a statement by Peter IL.
Nelson to the effect that w. ]. Well and
Senator John Il. Mcpherson met
in room at the Continental
hotel. Philadelphia, Dec. 1, 1873, and there
cOncOeted a scheme to secure an advance of
political fortunes and both assist the Penn
sylvania Railroad company. Sena-
tor Mcpherson made an affidavit
in reply TO the charges, in
which he denies the truth of
the story and gives lengthy correspondence
between himself and a number of other
persons brought out by efforts on his part
to trace the story to some authentic source
at various times between October, 1879,
and the present time. The first was TO Senator
Randolph, who he understood had spoken
of the matter subsequently. He says that
Senator Randolph pOoh-poohed the story
and said he would never speak OF it again.
The matter dropped out Of sight until 0c-
tober, 1880, in the midst of the
presidential campaign, when it was
again revived and Henry Kelsey
he asserts, took occasion to threaten him
with it. Senator Mcpherson says he en-
deavored without success to get the name
covered by reference to the hotel register
that o. II. Watson of Ohio occupied the
room adjoining No. 90 on
THE NIGHT IN QUESTION.
and wrote him letter asking him to make
the facts public. This letter was not an
swered. The senator then proceeds 10 say
that he engaged room SO on the date men
toned, as he was going to
Philadelphia on business, that he ar
rived late, met some Of the men
with whom he had business in the Office of
the hotel, that without going to his room at
all he went away on this business and
without returning took the late train for
New York, so that he was not in
the room at all. In this connection
he gives confrmatory letters from James
Montgomery, then of Chicago, but now Of
New York, and Mr.. Fuller Of Philadel-
phia. All this occurred in 1880. Again
he says all was quiet until the presidential
canvass of 1884, when it was revived at a
time when il was expected TO hurt
the chances of President Cleveland. SEN
ator Mcpherson charges tnat the matter
was brought up from time to time merely
for political capital and expresses
the belief that II. G. Kel-
sey and Henry S. Little inspired the
attacks. In denying their truth he says:
II now and here affirm with all the pom
derosity of particularly that / did not
meet Sewell or any man or woman or child
in room 20, Continental hotel, Phil
adelphia, on Dec. 5, 1878,
either during the day or night Nor have 1
ever met Gen. SeweIl to that date or subse-
quent to that date in Philadelphia or else
where for the object and purpose as
charged.

KEYSTONE REPUBLICANS.
Ross Quay for State Treasurer--The
Usual Platform.

HARRISBURG, Penn, July S.-The Re
publican state convention, to nominate a
candidate for state treasurer, was called to
order this morning at 1890 in the hall of
the house of representatives. The list of del
egates having been called, Gen. Reeder of
Northampton nominated William b. Rog-
ers of Allegheny for temporary chairman,
and he was elected without opposition.
After returning his thanks he congrat-
ulated the delegates on the harmony
which prevailed in the party to-day. All
differences had bee wiped out, and there
were no stalwarts in the party lines, and
the voice of the convention was that of the
Republican party of the state. If there
were any differences whatever, they would,
as the should be, settled within the party
lines. The usual secretary and committees
were then appointed and the committees
retired for consultation. A resolution was
offered and referred that the Republican
party Of Pennsylvania demand the enforce
ment of the railroad anti-discrimination

name members of the state committee.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported in favor Of James s. Biery
OF Lehigh for chairman and vice presi-
dent from each senatorial district, as well
as four secretaries. The report was adopted.
Upon taking the chair, Mr.. Biery spoke of
the party being united, and said that who
ever was nominated would secure the full
vote of the party, as it was the same in
spirit as in years gone by. The resolution

Using Their Clubs.

BAY CITY. Mich, July S.-The mill
strikers are stronger than ever to-day. AT
Rust's mill conflict took place between
the strikers and officers, clubs being freely
used. Two men were arrested and placed
in jail, both Poles. A crowd around
the station house demanded the
release of the prisoners, which
was refused. Every mill on the river has
shut down. Most of them did so of their
own accord. The officers say they will re-
main closed for month, or until the trouble
is over, as it is to their interest TO do so.
The excitement seemed greater to-day than
at any time since the strike commenced.
No serious injnry has been done to any
person thus far and most of the strikers
