Charles H. Taft, Of Denver, writes to
the Tribune Republican the letter here
given which explains itself
Your issue of today contains an ar
ticle coupling my name with a ~disgraceful
affair which occurred in Laramie City last
Monday night and Tuesday morning, dis
graceful not only for the unfortunate
object Of it, but more SO for the perpetra-
tons, and a thousand times more so for
the instigators, those who, it is evident,
realized what a d~isreputable piece Of bust
ness they were engaging in, and have
kept their names as well as their persons
in the background So for as | am con-
cerned, | was not in Laramie City. My
brother is the unfortunate. Bus it
matters little, in one sense, which name
is used, for l am as guilty of wrong doing
and saying as he is. What he said was in
the presence of these gentlemen. No
exceptions were taken then at the time,
only in a friendly way.
The remarks made were not of a char
acter to cause the least feeling of resent
ment from any body. Nothing was said
against the good repute of any respectable
person in Laramie City, nor any other
place. Tie absurdity of the ae c%usation is
apparent upon its face. In the first place
nobody in their right senses would make
such an assertion as charged IN any town.
In the second place the yourg man was
not acquainted with anyone in the town
until a week or so previous, and was there
for the purpose of doing business among
the best people, yet is accused Of insulting
every respectable lady in the place. The
thing is too preposterous to deserve a
second thought. You will say, perhaps,
what could be the object in making the
accusation l have no charges to make.
Am satisfied in my own mind wherc the
animus lies but at present have nothing
to say. Yours truly,
CHARLES II. TAFT. " %

Parliament Reconvened Yester-
day After a Short
Vacation and Gladstone Will
Inform Members
Of all Things Connected With
the Afghan Dispute.


LONDON, June THE house Of com
mons, which adjourned over the Whitsun-
tide holidays, resumed its session to-day.
Childers, chancellor of the e~xchequer,
in reply to a question by Sir Michael
Hynes, both Conservatives, said he hoped
to be able by Tomorrow to make a state
ment to the house concerning the attitude
Of the government upon the question of
the increase of duties, which it had been
proposed to plnce upon wines, spirits and
beer.
Gladstone replying to an inquiry made
by McCoan, Home Rule member for
Wicklow "Claud," said it was not the
intention of the government to establish
regular diplomatic relations with the vati-
can. In answer to interrogatories by
Lord Jno. Manners, CONSERVATIVE,
Gladstone stated that negotiations be-
tween England and Russia concerning the
delimitation of the Afghan frontier re-
manned uncontrolled. In regard to the
question of submitting the Anglo-R ussion
dispute to arbitration. Gladstone an

The CYCLONE at Adam

ALDEN, June 4.-The latest reports of
the damage done by the cy-
clone show it to have been the most
disastrous which ever visited this region =,
at least since the British occupation in
1899. The wind destroyed nearly every
bungalow Tor cottage) in Alden. The iron
roof over the government shed on the
jetty was blown away. Great damage was
done to the shipping at anchor in port.
Many barges were sunk and a number of
steam launches and men-of-war boats were
driven ashore. The men-of-war Turquoise
and Reindeer, were driven by the force
of the wind so hard that both broke their
moorings and narrowly escaped being
wrecked. Steamers which have arrived
since the subsistence of the cyclone, near
" all report loss of boats and other equip
ments. The eastern telegraph lines are

PRESIDE OF SAN Francisco. June A.
The following dispatch was received at
. p. M;
Fort BAYARD. N. NJ, June 1.-The
Indians shortly after crossing the New
Mexico line evidently divided into two
small parties, which raided in widely
separated localities, while women and
children were hid away in the mountains.
Troops have been following different raid
ing parties without result, other than to
break down their stock. 1t is impossible
with the troops to catch the raiding parties
or afford citizens scattered among the noun
tains any protection from such parties. A
dispatch from Capt. Smiths camp, dated
Apillo Creek, June l. states the Indians,
women and children are scattered
through the mountains east of Duck creek.

Lothrop Returns Thanks.

LANSING, Mich, June Hon. George
V. n. Lothrop, minister to Russia, by in
v~itation addressed the legislature in joint
session this afternoon. The governor,
justices of the supreme cour. and state
officers, as well as a large number of citi-
zens were present, Lothrop returned
thanks for the honor done him by the
legislature and the people of Michigan.
He referred to his mission, and spoke of
the firm friendship which Russia had ex-
hibited toward the United States during
the critical period of the war of the rebel
lion. The czar sent a large feet with
sealed orders into American waters at the
time when complications were threatened
by the Intervention Of foreign powers.
Fortunately a contingency never arose,
but when the sealed orders were opened
it was found hat they directed that at
the first hostile interference the batteries
of the Russian fleet should open against
the enemies of the union (long and con-
tinued applause). After his address,
Lothrop met the members of the legis-
lature in the executive parlors.
