HENRY M.

Reasons for Thinking the "White Pasha" Of
Bahr-el-Ghszel Is Not the Explorer.
LoNDoN. July 29.-Ths whereabouts and con-
dition Of Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley is rapidly be-
coming the question of the hour. owing to the
multiplication Of rumors concerning the mys-
ferrous white pasha." who, it is claimed by
many. is really Stanley, coupled with the total
absence Of definite news regarding the explorer
and his party. Ii is now quite a year since
Mr.. Stanley has been heard from through
means of direct communication giving evidence
of Eenuineness. The most probable of the theo-
ries put forth concerning him is the one tina.
Stanley has failed TO meet Enin, and that both
are in pressing need of help. 1t is not likely
that either Stanley or Emin, would engage In q
march of conquest against Khalifa Abdullah,
the new Mahdi. without being adequately sup
piled with men, arms, ammunition, stores, ETC.,
and 1t is. OF course, known that neither is so
equipped. This Is held to ~dissipate the assump-
ton that one of them Is the ''white pasha.'

Sudden Death Of a Louisville Man.

LOUISVILLE. July 29.-Harry L. Cooke. SON.
in-law of Capt. Silas Miller, . wealthy Repub-
lican politician and manufacturer, died late last
night under unusual circumstances. He was
met on the street by friends. who saw him stag
ger and lift his face with closed eyes toward the
sky, as if some great illness was upon him.
They FASTENED to his assistance. and as they
were near his father in-law's residence, where
he lived. they took him there at once. Medical
aid was summoned, but no relief could be found.
He had been drinking heavily of late. and had
recently returned from a trip undertaken to re-
cruit from the effect Of excuses. Whether his
death was from an overdose Of morphine or
from some sudden attack of underlined illness Is
not known. His physicians treated him for
poisoning. Cooke was about twenty-eight years
old, and had q share in the management OF Capt.
Miller's woolen-mills.

THE INDIAN ULTIMATUM.
The Sioux at Standing Rock Decline to Sign
the Treaty Opening the Reservation.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, July 29.-The ulti-
matum of the Indians was given to tina commits
sioners yesterday. The Indians were in council
all Thursday night. and, after many speeches.
every Indian gave his assent to a proposition
not to sign the treaty. John Grass was chosen
to present the ultimatum to the commission, as
sisted by Gall and other chiefs. Grass referred
to former treaties broken by the whites, and
spoke about the Back Hills treaty. Chairman
Pratt had said that their lands could not be
taken except by consent Of thres-quarters Of
the Indians. This was a provision OF the
other treaty. How, thep," said Grass,
did the whites take the Black Hills when
they only got about three hundred Indians
TO signl The Indians were fools then. as they
always have been in making treaties. and we
hope we and our children Will talk slow and not
be fools hereafter. You move other Indian
tribes among US off of the laud given the whites.
We do not want this, and the other tribes Will
not like il. either. The whites still owe US
much under treaties made years ago. The gov
ernment should give as what it now owes before
It asks for more. We do not understand. You
have two papers. one black for us to sign Yes.
and one red for us TO sign No. We Will not
sign either paper. We say Move have orr
crops to look after. and must get back to work
We will not sign. We came here because our
agent asked us to, and we cid not want 20 shame
him. You cannot get US to sign"
After Grass had spoken Gall was called, but
simply afirred ell that had been said. Chair
mau Pratt told Grass that he had no more right
to speak than any other Indian. This remark
was resented By an Indian grunt all around. and
Grass said he had the same right to speak for
the Indians who had chosen him as Pratt had
been for the whites. At Pratts request the
Indians finally agreed 20 stay until Monday,
but said their minds were not like chiidren's,
and that they would not sign then.
Agent Mclaughlin. who has the complete
confidence of the Indians, has done all he could
to influence them to sign. but 10 no avail. Gov.
Church and Auditor Ward will be down from
Bismarck to Mondays conference. There is
little prospect. however, Of a change Of senti
ment.

Complicated Corporation.
special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WASHINGTON, July ga remarkable condi-
ton Of affairs and . lamentable system of
wheels within wheels has been disclosed by in
designations made by the Senate committee on
the District of Columbia in the srrestrailroad

six distinct railroad companies in the District of
Columbia. all conducted under different names
and by distinct sets Of minor officials. vet they
are ell owned or controlled by one company.
The object in maintaining separate oreanizs-
tions for each system of lines is to give the
parent company more arms with which to fight
Congress against restrictive legislation. and to
keep out rival lines. Although the parent COM
psny disclaims control Of the four or FIVE branch
lines, the tickets for all the lines in the
District sre interchangeable. Another OBJ

ments thai some of the lines are not self-sus-
tanning, and for that reason further legislation
should not be made against them, on the ground
that while they might be losing money other
branches in the syndicate were reaping q bar
vest amounting to 30 or 40 per cent on the In
vestment every year. Two or three of the
branch lines are miserable apologies for street
railroads. and it is true that they do not make
much money; but it is necessary to maintain
them to keep out opposition, and to
make the proper connections with the
popular lines, which are minis OF
profit By dissvowipg ownership OF these
poor limos the parent company can control the
field and keep down not only opposition. but
legislation by Congress. which would relieve
the public Of q great deal of inconvenience.

all of the street cars in Washington were bob
tails. and nassen gers were required TO go TO the
boxes upon entering the cars and deposit their
fare. The cars with conductors were fnallv &C.
cured only upon the most diligent and positive
demands by the public. Meetings were held
and resolutions adopted to the effect that no
one should deposit fares in the boxes. In some
instances. while in oihsr instances the meetings
resolved to not patronize the lines until cars
with conductors were adopted. The same pro-
~csedings have just been taken in respect to one
or two more lines. and the companies have been
notified that they will be given until September
to provide cars with conductors and the usual
accommodations furnished by frst-class corpo-

A Sham Investigation Which Is To BE Used
for Political Purposes.
epecial to the Indianapolis JournsI
WASHINGTON. July 29.-The House committee
on manufactures is going right along in its in
vsstigatiou OF trusts and combinations. but there
is no prospect OF any effort being made TO ac-
complish anything at this session. The OBJ
ject of this Investigation seems to be to throw
dust in the eyes Of the people at large and create
the impression that there are gigantic trusts
and monopolies controlling every branch OF
trade. without producing any tangible evidence
OF it. Although this investigation has been pro-
crossing four months. and scores Of witnesses
have been examined, no report has
reached the House, aud it is not probable
that one will be made before adjourn ent.
1t is understood that some time after the House
adjourns the majority members Of the commit
tee on manufactures will get together and pre-
pare q report setting forth that great discover
les have been made in this Investigation, and
that they will be submitted to the public. The
report will be intended for campaign purposes.
and will be made at that late day IN the canvass
which will make an answer 10 the charges upon
industries protected by tariff out of the ques-
ton. The report will show that the present sys-
tenn Of tariff protection fosters monopoIies and
produces q double burden on the people. This
form of procedure was followed in the campaign
of 1884 by congressional committees, aud its ef-
fectiveness was only broken by disclosures
made before the reports were submitted 70 the
public.
