WORKING WITH THE TORIES.

GIadsionians and ParneIIItes to Vote for a
Government Measure.
LONDON, July 24.-Since Lsbouchere
laid on the table in the house of commons
his motion to substitute for the report Of
the royal grants committee an address to
the queen stating the sums given the royal
family are already amply sufficient, and that
il further supplies were needed they ought
to be provided through retrenchment in the
expenses of the royal household, and not
by fresh demands upon the taxpayers,
there has been a rupture among the
liberals and Gladstonians, and Sir VIM.
Vernon Harcourt and Parnell have de
cided to support the government John
Merley will move an amendment against
increasing the allowances of royal princes
unless when the next request is made il be
accompanied by pledge that il will be
hnal one. GlRdstOne's pressure upon La
bouchere TO withdraw his motion has been
futile. Labouchere will listen to no com
promise. The PRrnellite members of the
house OF commons are whipping for the
government, greatly TO the disgust of the
radicals The opposition being thus at
skies and sevens, large government ma
JOrlty on the report of the royal grants

BozENAN, July 24-[SpeciaI TO the In
dependent IA courier came in late last
night with the information that the shaft
house of the Revenue mine, together with
some of the inside timbers, had been
burned. The fire broke out at 4 O'Clock in
the morning and speedily consumed the

ing several car loads of ore in sacks, which
were TO be shipped to the Helena smelter.
into the shaft. The fire also communicated
with the timbers, and for a while it looked
as if all the timbers would be burned out.
There being no water convenient, Superin-
tendent Turner caused an upward current
of air to be created, and with water hauled
in tanks, finally put out the flames. The
loss will aggregate about $4,000. and
months time will be occupied in repairing
the damage. A new shaft will be sunk.
IL is presumed that the shaft house was set
on fire.

People who should Know DO Not Think
Mrs. Heron is in Danger.
WASHINGTON, July 24-D. 4. Allen,
secretary of the Corean embassy. called at
the state department this morning and
talked with Acting Secretary Wheaton
about the case of Mrs Hattie G. Heron,
the missionary reported to be under SEN
tence of dc ath in Corea for preaching the
doctrine OF christianity. DIR. Allen stated
TO Wharton his entire disbelief In the truth
of the story. Even il the lady had been
charged with the offense, she would be
under the jurisdiction of the consular
courts, and the emperor, except by the ex-
erclse OF arbitrary power, could not have
ordered her execution.
NEW YORK, July 24.-The report that
Mrs Heron, the Presbyterian missionary
in Corea, had been sentenced to death for
teaching christianity. is not credited by the
officers of the Presbyterian board OF for
eign missions They have had no advice
OF such an occurrence and consider such
action by the Corean authorities inherently
improbable. A telegram from the Corean
legation at Washington says: "The state
department and myself consider the rumor
unfounded. Foreigners have the right of
extra territoriality and can only be arrested
and tried by the American consul Have

The Southern Pacific Firm In Its Demands
Rates Fixed to Milwaukee
CHICAGO, July 24-The proposition OF
the Southern Pacific railway TO guarantee
the Canadian Pacific per cent. Of Pacific
coast traffic and abolish its differentials
was considered to-day by the executive
committee Of the TranscontinentaI associa-
tion. The only agreement that could be
reached was 70 recommend the reduction
of differentials, and a report TO that effect
was submitted TO the general meeting, but
the Southern Pacific refused 70 accept it.
That road insisted that its proposition be
accepted, or it would go out of the associs-
tion. To make matters worse the Denver
n Rio Grande Western road demanded a
dlfferential rate on transcOntinental traffic
on the ground that it is narrow guAge
road. This demand was referred 20 a PEE
cial committee. No conclusion ia regard
to the matter under consideration was
reached, and the meeting adjourned until
tomorrow. The passenger department
adopted a resolution making a rate of one
fare for the round trip for veterans attend
ing the G. A. X. encampment at Milwaukee.

A brutal fight occurred at Centerville
Tuesday night in the Summit saloon which
may result fatally to Peter McDermott,
one of the victims of the assault by several

just after be left the place he was set upon
by five men, one Of whom struck him on
the head with q beer bottle. while another
plunged Knife into his left side. After he
was down they continued TO beat and
kick him. A man named Holland, friend
Of MeDermOtt, came along and attempting
10 interfere, the highbinders next attacked
him and also beat him with bottles aud
kicked him.
A crowd of men now interfered, and
Sheriff Lloyd was telegraphed for. AS
soon as possible the sheriff and a deputy
got to the scene, but the tight was over, and
although they made all possible efforts to
ind out who the men were that had made
the assault, they were unsuccessful.
Holland, who also resides at MalkeTville,
WAS taken home and McDermOtt removed
TO PascOe's saloon and DIR. Howard sum
moned. The doctor answered the call and
found that McDermOtt had been cut with a
knife Just over the left thighbOne, the
first striking the bone and then glanciDg
and passing between the bone and flesb.
The wound was probed to a depth of
about an inch and a half, after which 10
could not be followed any further
All efforts to find the assailants were IN
successful, and II was not learned until to
day that II was Harrington who used the
knife. Sheriff Lloyd has the knife, a heavy
buckhOrn clasp knife, such as cOwb boys
use, and has a blade about three inches
long, with sharp, keen point
McDermOtt's injuries are believed 10 be
far more serious than at FIRST antIcipatf 4.
Deputies Nichols and Thomas left for Hell
