FRONTIER FRAUDS,
Lead Orss from Mexico A Bit OF Lively
News from Washington.

CHICAGO, July 12.--Advces came from
Washington to the effect that Solicitor
Hepburn has been asked to give an
| opinion in the matter of ores, and he will
fake some days for consideration, and it
is not likely that any decision will be
given until Assistant Secretary Tichenor
returns to Washington, which will be at
least two or three weeks, so that the trade
is to be kept hanging by the eyelds on
this most important question probably
until the end of July. Extensive ir-
regularities have been discovered at the
frontier. In some cases lead in the ore
was valued at one cent per pound and all
the expenses and deductions were made
from the lead contents, but, as this ore is
imported under the class of silver-ores,
it would seem at least Just that the
silver should be charged with the deduc-
ton. At all events, an entirely new
system is to be started and the law as it
stands at least will be vigorously enforced.
There are strong intimations that the
department will push the matter over for
congress to decide, which is more than
likely if President Harrison is to call an
extra session. Well informed dealers
believe that the enforcement OF the law
will keep out enough ore to carry prices
materially higher, even although the
ruling Of weight instead OF value should
not be adOnted.

4 Colorado Flood.

LAS ANMAs, July 10.-Thc Arkansas
got on terrific rampage at thispoint yes
terday. Ats O'Clock q. m, it was as low as
it has been at any time this season and
easily fordable. Within thirty minutes
the water had raised at least eight feet,
oyerspreading all the bottom lands, bring
ing down masses of float wood, articles Of
household furniture, farming utensils, etc.
The pile bridge just below the new iron
bridge was nearly destroyed, about two
thirds of it being swept away. Although
the water touched the road bed of the new
bridge it was not damaged. The ap-
proaches to the iron bridge not being
completed all communication between the
north and south sides of the river is cut
off for the present, but the approaches are
now being pushed forward to completion.
The great rise i'll the Arkansas was
caused by heavy rains ant probably
water spout on Adobe and Horse creeks,
for both these streams rose with remark
able rapidity. These streams empty into
the Arkansas about six miles above town.
The ilume Of the Henry canal across
Adobe creek is entirely torn away, be-
sides great damage to growing crops by
the overflow OF all bottom lands.

SULLIVAN IN IRONS.


NASHVILLE, July 12.--John l.. Sullivan
was arrested here yesterday, upon req,
uisition from the governor OF Alssissip
pl.
When the Louisville d Nashville trair
pulled into the city, crowd surged arounG
the car to see John l.. Sullivan. A rumol
soon obtained circulation that requisi
ton was in the hands ofthe police, seyera
OF whom had boarded the car. After
some discussion finally struggle was
seen in the car, and the officers reached
over with handouts and sezing the slug
gers arms pulled him out into the aisle
Sullivan resisted. Muldoon put his heaC
out Of the window and yelled to the crowd
Gentlemen, demand American protec.
ton" His patriotic wall was greeted with
q variety of responses. Some cheered Sui.
livan and begged him to knock the coppe,
out. Ohers cried: "Hurrah for the Nash.
vile police" "I1it him with club"
etc.
After brief struggle Sullivan was taken
out of the car and hustled to d carriage.
In the scuifle he drew back to knock
down the policeman, when Chief Clark
stuck Il pistol in his face and told him if
he struck he CLARK would kill him. The
officers next grabbed Charley johnson,
of Brooklyn, Sullivan's hacker, who re-
sisted vigorously, but finally began to cry
with pain. During all this scrimmage
Muldoon sat quietly by and was undis-
turbed. Cleary, Sullivan s other second,
hid in the excitement, and one other
named Lynch jumped off the train. Only
johnson and Sullivan were detained,
though others were wanted.
The arrests were made by the authority
of telegram from Gov. Lowry, of Mis-
sissippi, to the Nashville chief of police.
Sullivan retained ex-Auorney General
Washington, who says that the officers
went beyond their authority and can not
hold the men. Immediate attempt will
be made to get the parties out on writ OF
habeas corpus. Gov. Lowry's telegram
offers a reward of $1,000. It is believed
that ii released Sullivan will be rearrested
to secure time for the requisition to be OBJ
tanned. The arrested belligerents are
now in the police station in conference
with their attorney.
Jackson, July 1.-THE law imposes a

ceived the following telegram to-day:
Jackson, Miss, July 11.--Please direct
the chief of police of Cincinnati to arrest
Jake kilrain, Charlie Mitchell and Pony
Moore, and hold them until a requisition
reaches you. They are charged with the
crime OF fighting in this state.
ROBERT Lowry, Governor.
In reply Coy. Foraker repeated the
telegram to the chief of police at Cincin-
natl, and asked that official to act in ac-
cordance with Gov. Lowry's request.
Foraker also sent telegram to Gov.
Lowry saying; "Your request has been
complied with"

Important Questions Considered ia Her
Constitutional Convention.

! Sioux FALLS, Oak, July ll.-At yes
terdays session OF the constitutional con

! was the power Of the convention tG
change the constitution of 1889. 1t came
up on Il motion to refer different articles
to the appropriation committee. Pres

ence implied claim OF the conventions $
power to change any and every atirle4
whereas congresses has limited the uhungc
to certain specific PROVISIONS In op-
position TO this view Delegates Jallv,
Caldwell and others maintained that what
had been referred merely purported to be
part OF the constitution OF 1850 The
convention could officially know the
provisions OF the said document only upon
report the committee or by the ex-
animation thereof as body. The matter
will come up again and is regarded as
specially important, as certain changes
might jeopardize the presidents proc
Iamation Of admission and cause tito be
deferred. Thus discussion as to the scope
OF the convention work will be very inn
portant, Much concern is felt regarding
the action OF the judicial appointment
committee. Almost every county has
aspirants ior the judgeship, and there
will be strong attempt to make at least
ten or a dozen circuits. The congress
sional and legislative apportionment
committee is likewise beseged to make
districts favorable to the manifold inter
ests OF the different candidates for United
States senator. Moody and Edgerton,
who were elected as senators under the
old constitution, me both here; the
former as visitor and the latter as the
president Of the convention. r. s. Pet

chief competitor for the senatorship. All
these gentlemen will strive for such ar

people form little prison world, may
have become accustomed to it; but one
who visits it for the first time does SO with
far different sensations. The prison walls
are silent, but speak to the Imagination Of
scenes within. Seldom, if ever, is face seen
at the barred windows, for these openings
are too high for the inmates to catch a
glimpse through them of the outside world
Indeed, a state prison is a gloomy, silent pile,
seeming from without to cover gloom and
silence within.
The New Jersey state prison ct Trenton,
where Eva Hamilton is confined, is such a
building in outward appearance. 1t is broad
and low, of brown stone, and with something
of that Egyptian style of architecture seen
in the Tonbs of New York. About il
are such low houses and yards as are to be
expected on the outskirts of city. The Wis
itor who walks up to the door will find no
side windows, as in ordinary abodes There
is simply the door bell, while posted before
the eyes of all who enter are printed rules
for visitors These mention times and inter-
walls at which visitors, parents, brothers, sis
tiers, may visit those within.
Then these people have parents, brothers,
sisters. They are human beings. They not
only suffer but cause others TO suffer.
The ring is answered by prison official In
uniform. The door is unlocked, the visitor
passes in, the lock is turned behind him. and
the ley-hung about the officers PERSONS
withdrawn. 1t is not a pleasant feeling to
