John G. Carlisle in Ell Paso.

Ell PAso, Texas. Aug. 23.-Speaker John
G. Carlisle arrived in Ell Paso this morn
ing and spent the forenoon as the guest of
the citizens. He visited the Rio ,Grande
river above the city where it is proposed to
build sixty foot stone dam. This dam
will be an international work designed to
store water for irrigation and control the
Rio Grande during high water, so as to
regulate the boz airy between the United

favor of this plan as the best solution to
the continual change in the Rio Grande
boundary. He also favored a reciprocity
treaty with Mexico.
A large and enthusiastic mass meeting
was held here last night to protest against
the threatened change in the United States
treasury rulings on the Importation of
Mexican silver-lead ores.

Indian Murderers of Indians.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Indian
bureau has received through Indian Agent
Cole, at Coleville, Washington territory
agency, areply froms SpecialAgent Welton
to letter of enquiry relative to the arrest
of-certain Indian murderers on the Cole
vile reservation. Special agent Welton's
letter to the government says:
After learning that only territorial
courts have jurisdiction in such cases,
made complaint to assistant attorney Jones
who refused to prosecute on the ground
that he did not think if arrested and held
to appear any grand jury could
be found that would report a true bill
against one Indian for the killing of another,
as such action was not particularly objec-
t!onable or unpopular with the white people
of Stevens or adjacent counties. Hence it
would be mourning much legal expense
without any beneficial results. In fact he,
Jones, could not see that it was a matter of
any concern to the tax paying citizens 50
long as no white person was killed.
The Indian bureau officials will take such
action as may be necessary to enforce the
laws for the protection of Indians within
the jurisdiction of the Coleville agency.

Rowing Band of Ute Indians.

DENVER, Aug. Ex-Governor Cooper. of
Colorado, has received a strong protest
from the citizeus of Routt county, Colo
raGo, asking the governor to give them re-
lief and protection against the rowing
bands of Ute Indians that have been fur
nished with permits to leave their reserva-
ton on White river for the purpose of
hunting in the adjoining counties, where
they are at present slaughtering game
merely for their hides. Not content with
this pastime, they do not hesitate occasion
ally to kill a fat steer belonging to some
ranchman, or to borrow the ranchman's
horse and forget to leave their own worn
out ponies in their stead.
Two years ago these same Indians were
permitted to leave their reservation on the
same kind of an errand and it ended in
several lives being lost on both sides, and at
cost to the state of about two hundred
thousand dollars in order to drive them
back to their reservation. The citizens of
Routt and adjoining counties have not for
gotten how their fellowmen were shot
down in cold blood by the blood thirsty
savages and how they were compelled to
leave their ranches and take their families
to Meeller, Glenwood Springs and other
towns for safety. They are determined
not to have a repetition of two years ago,
and will try to avoid all trouble with the
Indians The proper officials can have
time to induce the Indians back to their
own homes and where the temptation of
fresh scalps is not so great.
The governor has very wisely telegraphed
to President Harrison asking him to look
into the matter at once, and it is to be
hoped that all serious trouble will be
ended
Captain Williams, commanding officer at
Fort Logan, near Denver, has sent an
officer to Glenwood Springs to make a
thorough investigation, and in case troops
are needed, his command here is ready to
move on moments notice. Captain
Williams has had experience with these
same Indians before and will no doubt
understand how to handle them to the best
advantage.

English and Irish Prisons.

LONDON, Aug. %. In the. commons this
evening a spirited attack was made upon
the treatment of Irish political prisoners,
the case of Mr.. Conybear. being the first
referred to. Mr.. Blame gave graphic ac-
count of his experience in a London Jail
which he declared was filthy. Sexton
spoke of the Londonderry jail as a pest
house where prisoners contracted fevers
and were thrust out to die. He detailed
one case, amid groans from the Parnellites
who were crying: another murder"
''here's the assassin" which caused Mr..
Balfour to smile. Balfour said a
familiarity with such attacks in
duced contempt. He urged statistics
to show that there was no lower rate of
motality in Irish than in English prisons
Parnell commended that Irish prisoners were
half starved. All the older iails, he said,
are in a terrible sanitary condition Mr.
Balfour, ne claimed. was guilty of culpable
neglect. Balfour did not compel his pet
Belfast forgers to clean the prison cesspools
as he did Fritzgibbon. The prisons vote
was adopted, 1873 to 80.
