JOHN R0ACH'S COLLAPSE.
400 MEN ATTHE CHESTER YARD
TO BE DISCHARGED.

Claims That This Establishment is not
Legally Involved by the Assignment
Secretary Whitney Expresses His Sym
pathy for the Assignor but is Unable
to Aid Him Financially.
CHESTER, Pa, July 19.-About 400 men
will be thrown out of work at John
ROach's shipyard tomorrow. Repreeen-
tatives Of the Chester company say that
the shipyard is a separate corporation,
and was not included in the assignment.
The yard will be affected, however. and
as Mr.. Roach is large stockholder in
the Chester rolling mills, blast furnace
and Combination Iron and Steel Company,
located here, it is difficult to foretell the
result on these places, each of which EN-
plOys great many men. The work on
the steel cruisers and the monitor Puritan
Will be virtually suspended.
wHITNEY's VIEW OF THE CASE.
BOsToN, July ia Newport Or. I.)
special gives tie following as Secretary
Whitney's reply to a question as to the
probable effect Of ROach's failure upon
the government. Secretary Whitney said !:
Il do not think that il will have any
effect upon the government. | am very
sorry when man falls into such
a difficulty, but l do not see that
the failure can have any consider
able effect on the government. The
government has only one vessel in his
shipyard, and two at New York build
ing, but the amounts are nearly all paid
on them. ! saw in a morning paper that
Mr.. Roach thinks that | am responsible
for the trouble, or at least that l could
give relief, but the government owes only
the amount still due upon the Dolphin,
which would not be enough to put him
upon sure footing again. The affair is
unfortunate, but cannot help him."

FORT KEOGH, Mont, July 19.-News
of serious trouble among the Northern
Cheyenne Indians has been received. The
following official telegram was received
late last night:
The commanding officer at Fort Custer
reports that Acting Agent Stevens for the

Northern Cheyenne reserve, is at Custer
with Acting Agent BrisOw, of the Crows,
and that Agent Stevens reports that there
is danger of serious trouble between the
Rosebud Indians. under Two Moons and
Little w Wolfand the Tongue River Indians,
headed by Black Wolf and White Bell.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The latter are trying to force the Rose
bud Indians to live on Tongue river, and
threaten to kill Agent Stevens if ne tries
to interfere with their plans. the report
says that the Indians are much excited
over the matter. The Rosebud Indians
positively refuse to 90. There are now in
camp with the Tongue River Indians
about 11S Pine Ridge Indians gDder Crazy
Head and American Horse. The latter
has said that he will die rather than 20
back TO the Pine Ridge agency.
REPORT OF AN OUTBREAK.
An exciting report has also reached
here that the Northern Cheyennes have
broken out. being started on the war
path by news from the Southern Chey-
ennes and Indian Territory. Still another
report says that in an engagement be-
tween Carpenter and RobinsOn's cow
hoys COW boys and Indians were killed.
These reports all seem well founded, and
there is great excitement among the
ranchers and settlers on the Tongue and
Rosebud rivers. A detachment Of troops
has gone to the scene of the trouble.

LOUISVILLE, July 19.-Meagre parttcu-
lars OF a triple tragedy that occurred at
Stepstone Yesterday have Just been re-
ceived. The tragedy grew out of the
revival of an old grudge between Town
Marshal Perry Oakley and John Smith.
Very few words were exchanged before
Oakley fired on Smith. Before Smith
could return the fire he was shot dead.
TWO OTHERS SHOT DOWN.
Mute Osborn, friend of Smiths came
up to take part, firing at Oakley. when he
was himself shot in the breast. He died
in half an hour,
Henry Smith, a brother of John, was
next shot twice in the head and in the
breast, and died last night. The fight
occurred in II. G. Hooker d Co.'s store,
and it does not appear at all clear who
fired the fatal shots, which We're all from
pistols. John Smiths body was left in
the store, but the wounded men were re-
moved to the house of r. Mcclure, where
they both died.
OAKLEY HIMSELF SHOT.
Later as Mcclure was going between
his house and the store with a loaded
shotgun in his hand he was fired on by
Marshal Oakley without effect. Mcclure
returned the fire with one barrel Of his
gun, the shot taking effect in Oakley's
right eye, neck and body. Oakley was
also shot by unknown parties He was
removed to the residence of Mai. Cassidy,
where he lies in critical condition. All
was quiet at a late hour last night. An
inquest was to be held to-day.
More trouble is expected as both sides
are all well represented, and the feeling
toward each other is very better.

The COlima" Fined 500 and De-

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The Pacific
Mail steamer COlima, which arrived here
yesterday from Panama, via Mazatlan,
reports having had serious trouble with
the Mexican authorities at the latter
place. The Mexican government recent
ly passed law requiring all vessels
touching at Mexican ports to produce
for inspection bills of ladng and a
manifest of the entire cargo, with
out regard to its ultimate destina-
tion. This the captain OF the COlima,
on arriving at Mazatlan on July II,
was unprepared to do, as he had no pre-
vious knowledge of the existence Of such
law. An examination OF his books was
finally accepted as a compromise for the
non-prOducrion of the required documents,
but the authorities insisted upon imposing
a fine of 500, which the Captain paid un-
der protest, and sailed July 10, after being
detained fourteen hours beyond the usual
time.
