Success OF the Season Washington

WASHINGTON. Dee. H.-lSpecial. The
ultra silver men, il is claimed, do not take
kindly to Secretary WINDOWS silver policy
This developed at the gathering of the
northwesterners in the association recently
formed, They do not say anything openly.
hut il is given out in private conversation
that il is not what the silver men want or
expect. OF course, there are three states
that are more interested in silver than in
other products, and whose representatives
may be said 20 represent the silver pro-
ducers. Other states in the association
represent a constituency tiat may be more
interested in silver as a medium of OK
change rather than as a product. But ON
the whole, the general tend of sentiment
seems 10 be that MIR. Window has not
solved the silver problem 10 the satisfaction
of the representatives Il the silver states.
There has beeu talk Of executive meetings
of the association AZ which time these mat
ters will be discussed. II is thought best to
have them secret, nv any open opposition
10 the policy outlined 10y the secretary
might not be advantageous TO the plan the
silver men may propose.

THE sncott steal May Involve some Well
known Men In Washington Those
OVerdrafts.

Nrw YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Evening sun
says: There is syndicate of men in this
city who would be pleased TO see Buffalo
Bill and the accounts of the Wild West
show, which has been one of the attractions
Of the Paris exposition. IL is alleged TINT
about a year ago Buffalo Bill and L. C. G..
Crawford appeared ON Wall street to organ
ize n syndicate 10 float the show across the
ocean. They wanted $4,000, and their
proposition was the subscribers should re-
ceive every night thirty per cent Of the
gross receipts and be allowed 10 have an
agent TO take the money. Among
Others who were interested in the
scheme was Commodore Bateman. lie
helped them organize the syndicate and
induced several friends 10 subscribe 10 the
pool There WAS no haggling over the
drafts drawn. Bill went across without
any agent TO take charge Of the syndicate 3
percentage, and 80 lar, according To the
Evening Sun. the syndicate have not re-
ceiyed a single dollar which represents its
portion of the gates receipts, and has got
back only 30 per cent. of the principal
which was contributed; but there is every
reason 10 believe that IN its earning capac.
ity the show met all the expectations of
Buffalo Bill, and took ina sufficient amount
of money not only 10 pay the 30 per cent.
of the gross receipts. nightly, but 10 pay
back the principal. The members of the
syndicate here had perfect confidence IN
the honesty of Buffalo Bill. They say that
i'm his business relations with any body on
this side he has always been square
bnt that he is not good JUDGE Of men and
liable 20 be imposed upon 10y shnrpers who

Bile some of his representatives, may be re-

promises on which the syndicate was or
pnnized and il is for that reason they are
anxious 10 see Buffalo Bills books. wherein
are kept the accounts.

Sensational Grand Jury Report of
the Way Affairs Are Run in
Mormondom.
The United States Marshal Getting
Rich or of Milk and
Team Work


SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. M-The grand
jury of the third district court this after
noon made report. The report shows il
has been the practice of the United States
marshal TO charge the penitentiary twenty
i've TO fifty cents per gallon for milk from
cows kept there and cared for by the pris-
oners and fed principally from food raised
upon the reservation or paid for by the
government. The milk vouchers since 1882
have amounted 10 about $1,000. Other
fruitful sources of revenue for him were
team hire for deputies hauling prisoners to
and from the penitentiary, etc. The mar
shal also supports, partly from supplies and
table leavings. twelve mich cows. 100 hogs
and two extra horses. In one year one
team provided for him earned the marshal
m hauling the sum Of $500. The Jury
says for 500 the government could provide
itself with horses, wagon and harness 10
perform all this service, and for 500 addi-
tlonhl purchase two good COWS, sufficient TO
Furnish all the milk necessary for
the penitentiary, and il would
scom as though il would be right 10 do this.
The jury also complains that the marshal
has shown unusual favors 90 the prisoners
convicted OF cohabtation. The supplies
now furnished the penitentiary are IS per
cent. too high.
The jury also instituted an additional in,
quity into county affairs, and makes SEN
sational report thereupon. Road work has
cost in five years $llf 900 and there are no
bids ON the work and no proper vouchers.
The county has sunk in contracts S22 600.
and has no canals, save waste drain and
nothing 10 show for the money. Collectors
defalcations are severely commented upon.
The county has lost $4,000 by two collec-
tors. and Sll 900 through clerk. The re-
port says the county officials deal with
themselves, as business firm, for
supplies, and show favoritism b.
Mormon prisoners. The copnty court
has also voted away valuable fran
chises for no public considera tion.
Officers have been trading with each other
for supplies and entering into partnerships
with spoilers dividing with them the fnan-
cial profits. They have also paid 10 bogus
hydraulic canal company $9,697 for an inter
est IN the Jordan river, and the dam which
the company never owned, but which the
county obligingly bonded over 10 the city,
the county receiving not n cent of the
meney. The rpOt, in closing, charges
that the bulk of this fund found its way
into the pockets of city and county officials

WAITING FOR A VERDICT.
The cronIn Jury stIn Out Many Rumor.
Ahoat.

| CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE all-absorbinr
question in this city to-day is; What's the
verdict in the Cronin casef" This wide
| spread interest, however, is not manifested
at the scene Of the iury's deliberations, the
people having evidently come 10 the concIu-
sion that the verdict can only be reached
after long consultation. Consequently
instead of crowds fighting for places in the
neiehborhood Of Judge McConnell's court
only few persons. aside from the reporters
and lawyers, were present at the hour for
the opening Of the court. Scarcely one
| third of the seats were occupied.
The lawyers chatted about the prospects,
| the defense, and especially the counsel for
| Beggs, drew a very favorable augury, be-
lleving that The delay meant acquittal. The
prosecution, however, maintained the an
| pearance of calm assurance; saving that In
| such an important case where five separate
| lives were ut stake, an extended deliberation
was 10 he expected.
As the hours passed the crowd grew almost
| 10 the proportions OF previous days. IL il
stated the verdict of the jury when rendered
will be verdict which will be conclusive;
that is TO say, the Jury will not be permitted
to return n verdict as 60 the guilt of one or
uore Of the defendants, and then retire for
| further deliberation as To the fate of the
rest. Judge Mcconnell will probably accept
the returns Of the jury as final If il agrees
as 10 the guilt and punishment Of Burke.
| Osulliyan and Coughlin. For instance, II
they disagreed as % the guilt of Bepps and
kunge, the verdict will be accepted as con
elusive in It's application TO the first three
named defendants, and disagreement or
mistrial be the resultasto 10 Begps and kunze.
AZ 10;25 D. m. the large audience which
had assembled in the courtroom was
wrapped 10 order by Sheriff Matson, who
said There is not yet return from the
jury, and Judge Mcconnell has gone home
for the night The judge will be down to-
morrow, when he ia sent for" added the
sheriff. II IL understood there will be no
formal session of the court tomorrow, Sun
day, but that the judge will be prepared AZ
any time during the day To visit the court
room aud receive the verdict, when notified
by the jury that they are ready 10 make a
return.
An unusual amount of speculation is be-
ing INDUCED in by the anxious thronp. but
there seems b. be no reason for any OF the
opinions given, ms IL is impossible for any-
thing TO leak out from the jury room. The
prevailing opinion about the criminal court
building seems TO be that the iury has
agreed ON conviction Of Burke. O'Sulliyan
and Coughlin, but are hanging on the
matter of the guilt or innocence Of Kunze
and Beggs.

GREAT FALLs, Dec. H.-ISpecial. Much
indignation is expressed 10y democrats here
at reports indicating that the democratic
senators mny 20 10 the senate chamber ON
Monday and be sworn in. Leading demo-
Gratis say they will abandon the party if any
dishonorable compromise is made. They
say that the democratic senators are doing
their duty by holding aloof, as well M II
they we're dailynt the senate chamber. They
are amazed that the democratic senators
should make any concession nfter battling
the conspirators for twenty-five days and
putting them 10 their wits ends 10 defraud
the people. II Is felt that the democratic
senators should resist all attempts at
coercion, and above all not surrender under
threats of that kind. They should, in the
opinion of the Cascade county democrats,
act unitedly with the house and make COM
mon cause with IL in resisting the robbery
of the United States senatorship. Above
all, il is felt that nothing should be done
until the Montana democracy are consulted
by those whom they elected 10 resist rob
berry and fraud.
