Reported Finding OF o Gold Nugget at
Glendive.

A discovery was made Monday by Col.
]. Fl. Ray, United States signal officer, that
is creating great local excitement. While
pursuing his geological researches in q
raviue two miles southeast OF Glendive,
Monday, he picked up nugget that weighs
two and one-half ounces. The discovery is
extraordinary, for the reason that the
geological formation would not indicate
gold. It must have drifted from the noun.
tainy and all indications show that there
must be more than the one nugget in the
drift formation that overlies the high lands
contiguous to the Yellowstone river.

A gentleman largely interested in copper
received a dispatch yesterday afternoon
informing him that the pool sales OF Lake
copper arranged at the New York confer.
ence were in force until June 1, only. This
places new phaze on the copper question
and undoubtedly will be resultant OF much
speculation and doubt as to the next turn
the market shall take.

THAT BERLIN MEETING
WHAT WAS DONE At THE FOURTH
FORMAL CONFERENCE.

The Real Work of the Conference Done al
the Subcommittee Meetings-suocess
of the Americans-The Question Of
Indemnity to the Germans the Only
One Of Importance Yet to be Settled.
BERLIN, May 18.-The fourth session Of
the Samoan conference was beld yesterday.
The meeting was called to order shortly
after 2 O'Clock by Herbert Bismarck, who
has presided at all the meetings in accord.
ance with established custom that the
highest representative OF the government
OF the country in which the conference is
held shall preside. The proceedings were
almost entirely formal. They consisted
chiefly in listening to the reports of various
sub-committees which had been holding
daily sessions ever since the conference met.
At these meetings the real work OF the con-
ference has been transacted, and as nearly
as can be learned. the American commits
sion has succeeded IN carrying every i'm.
portant point they set out to obtain; in
deed, so prevalent is this feeling in Berlin
that the Berlin press and other influential
papers in Germany complain OF the
coCOhsb OF THE AMEhiCANS.
While the greatest secrecy in regard to
the proceedings is maintined, and hereto
fore nothing much beyond the fact that the
meetings have been held, was known, it can
now be stated that, excepting the question
OF indemnity for German sailors killed and
beheaded by the Samoans, and one or two
other minor points, the work Of the COM
mission is over. 1t is thought the restora.
tion of Malietoa to power is assured, and
that half the tripartate government in
Samoa, for which the American commits
sioners contested against the Germans, the
plan for one representative selected by
three powers, will surely be put into effect. |
1t is also more than likely that the COM
mission has decided in favor OF the abso. |
lutte independence OF Samoa as soon as the |
people there demonstrate their ability to |
go alone. $500
THE INDEMNITY QUESTION
is yet to come up. 1t may psolong the
meetings some weeks, but this i believed |
to be the only point on which thep is likely
to be serious contests.
The question OF Kleins connection with
the affair in which German saiIbrs were
killed, has never come up. Nor is there
any likelihood OF its doing so, neither will
the commission hear testimony OF any
kind.
During the past meetings Of the confer
ence and committees, the only points OF
difference have been between the German
and American committees, the attitude OF
the English members being neutral. Their
influence has generally been cast with a
view OF settling the question as expedi-
tiously as possible. They have however,
been strongly in favor Of lhavinga Protest
ant for King OF Samoa, which, tits thought,
indicates their preference for Maietoa, who l
was trained in an English Protestant col
lege

| Kicked Nearly to Death-The Csn<t-
| room Shocked by the Revelationss
CHICAGO, May 20s-A most korribie
revelation in the invertigation Of the Ohi-
cago public insane asylum, was reached 70
day, in the testimony Of Geo. Hill, . loco
motive engineer now employed on the Lako
Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad. He
was admitted to theinstitution in January,
1888, suffering from a slight mental ds.
rangement, and was discharged as cured hi
May.
When he went to the asylum an attend
ant named Lott asked him II he was h.
sane. Hill said he was not. "Wsll, q -
piled Lott, i've will make you did slshs
insaner than you are now."
Another attendant named Julian 0rdsred
him to sweep out room and on his saying
knocked him down, kicked hlm in the body
and mouth,
KNOCKING TWO TEETH OUT.
Hill tried to cover his face by getting his
head beneath q bench, when Julian turned
the bench over, breaking Hills arm. HIN
rolled up his coat sleeve in court and
showed huge lump where the ends or she
broken bones, badly Joined, stood out.
They knocked him down again, he said.
and broke one of his ribs. His arm caused
great pain, and he could not get prepel
treatment. He tried to see the doctor, sbu'
Julian told him if he dared to speak he
would kill him right there. y
One day Hill had an opportunity %
conversing with Supervisor Jones and told
him he was badly treated. Afterwards Two
attendants knocked him down and held
him while Julian s,p4 s.s
REPEATEDLY KICKED HIM s.
in the head and breast. On getting, up
with the blood running from his face, Hilt
said he would have justice someday where
upon Julian cursed him and knocked bin
down and kicked him again.
Hill said q new patient was brought IL
one day. He did not know enough to 70
to the dining room, and the attendants,
Julian and Lott, knocked him down and
jumped on his stomach till he was unnbls
to move, then they picked him and throw
him on bed. Levy died that night.
The courtroom was as still as death dur.
ing this - M
AWFUL REVELATION.
The Judge instructed the witness TO brins
his wife to corroborate his story and
doctor was detailed to examine Hill and
his arm.
Several other witness testified to the
brutality of the attendants, the naisera-
