would be far cheaper than bridge and

against the Mckinley tariff bill, on the
ground that it would work great injury to

THE Republicans, beaten in Kansas by
an opposition majority in the legislature,
tried to overcome that majority by
claiming the election of Republican
members from counties that had no con-
stitutional existence, aud their own
courts decided against them. Beaten In
Connecticut. they try to unseat the DEM
ocratio governor by counting unconsti-
tutional votes against him, and are
thwarted by the supreme courts de-
cison. In New Hampshire, and under
the INSCRIPTIONS leadership Of the no.
torious Bill Chandler, they endeavor to
set aside the verdict the people have
rendered against them by having the
present Republican governor refuse to
count and certify the vote. Their
scheme in Illinois Is to contest the cleo
tion of a number Of Democratic members
OF the legislature, who are to be kept
out of their seats, on one excuse or an
other, until Republican is elected to
the senate. But MIR. Lodge and Mr.,
Harrison insist that the force bill must

would ever be found in the United
States. How erroneous this idea was,
appears, when it is known that the
United States now produces third of
the gold and silver mined. In 1889 the
Total output of both was 1922, 900, 900, of
which S97 900, 900 we're found in Uncle
Sam 8 domain. The progress made in
this country IN the development of the
less remarkable than that of other in
dustries. In 1917, the year before gold
was discovered in California, the total
value OF the gold and silver mined In the
United States did not exceed one mil
lion. The discovery of gold in California
made that state as famous for years as
australia once was, but like that distant
province, it has lost its supremacy
n gold mining. Colorado now en-
Joys that honor with Montana q
good second and California third.
Utah produced over So, 900, 900 worth OF
silver in 1889, while Nevada some years
ago famous for its silver output, now
mines very little. The fact that $780,
600 worth of gold was found last year in
Georgia, North and South Carolina, in
dictates that the development of the prec-
ious metals in the South has just begun.
Traces of them have been found in this
state, which may lead to important dis
coveries. There are bat few things, il
not in heaven, at least on earth, that
may not be found in Texas. This truth
ago, but is latterly obtaining wide ored-
encs as it should.
Gold mining has decreased wonder
fully in Australia, last year the total
output being only Sc, 900, 600. While
vast deal of gold and silver were for
merly mined IN South America, and
while there is still believed to bs great
stores of them as yet undiscovered there,
but small quantities are being gotten
out now. Improved methods of
mining, and Yankee INTELLIGENCE
may yet develops great bonanzas in
that country. In Europe, Russia pro-
duces nearly all of the precious metals
found there, the amount of gold turned
out last year being S23, 200 900. China
produces 50, 600 600 IN gold and silver,
and the Trapsvaal Republic of South
Africa, a small territory yields $40, OO0,-
600.
The United States now holds the first
place in the production of precious
metals, aud is likely to do so for many
years, as new fields are being continually
found, and the output made to increase
in stead of diminish

RETALIATION.
Stringent Regulations Adopted by the
Secretary OF Agriculture.
Nothing New in Regard to the Reported
Contemplated Invasion Of the
Cherokee strip.
To Get Even With John Bun.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE secretary
of agriculture to-day made an order
closing all ports except St. Adams. in
the collection district of Vermont against
the importation of cattle, sheep and
other ruminants and swine, and reouir-
Ing that all such animals imported
through this collection district must. enter
at the port of st. Adams where they
must be inspected by veterinary in
spector OF the department of agriculture.
The railroad mpauies carrying animals
imported into the United States are re-
CURED to provide necessary pens aud to
UNLOAD such animals SO that they may be
properly inspected. The secretary says
this is done as protection against
the introduction into this country
from Canada of any contagious
disease affecting these classes of ami
mails. Such inspection is provided for
by the act Of August 80, 1890, and in
view of the fact that the English eri-
nary officers aad authorities at Dundee
have only recently seized Canadian cat
tie when landed there, declaring them
to be affected with contagious pleuro-
pneumonia. Secretary Rusk feels it in-
cumbent upon him to take all measures
necessary for its rigid enforcement.
Moreover, England has prohibited the
importation into that country OF
sheep from the United States on this
ground that the government has hereto
fore caused to be an inspection or quar-
antine OF sheep arriving here from other
parts of the world. The stringent regu-
lations of Secretary Rusk are designed to
insurs the protection of the livestock of
the United States from imported diseases
and to secure, if possible, the removal of
the prohibitory restrictions now placed
upon animals exported from this country.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Dec. 27.-Private
Peter Blum, recently discharged SOL
der, arrived this morning from Fort
Meade, Oak. Blum was with the troopa
sent IN pursuit of Sitting Bull. To-day
he said: ''Three days before Sitting
Bull g death there were four Indian
police, two white scouts and two cav
alrymen out with their horses recounoi-
stopped in little ravine at creek to
water their horses, when they were fired
on from mbush and O white scout was

assassinated in his tepee. No one
knows who killed Sitting Bull or Red
Cloud. but these Indians and white scouts
are very clannish. 1t is the opinion of
the troops that the white scouts pick ed

and an Indian scout took still
greater chances by creeping Into
the Indian camp and killing Red

camp was in the ravine where the scouts

A DENIAL.
DICKINSON, n. D., Dec. Ell. T.
Sydenhsm and Scout Spence of Capt.
Fountains command Of the Eighth cav
airy have arrived here with dispatches.
They report that there was no founda-
ton for the story that the command was
hemmed in by 500 hostiles in Cave hills.
Capt. Fountain had not, up to Christ
mas morning. been able to discover any
trace of Indians, but had learned that
Sitting Bulls followers are on their way
to Pine Ridge and Cheyenne Creek res
ervations. The stories about ranchmeu
murdered and property destroyed by the
hostIies are also stated to be unfounded.
AS far as military authorities here are
aware, not shot had been exchanged
between the Indians and troops. A
general summary of the disposition of
the troops shows that the entire reserva-
ton is hemmed in by troops ready for
the field, and fears OF an outbreak in
the spring are groundless.
THE LATEST BY COURIER.
OMAHA, NEB. Dec. PA special
from Pine Ridge agency says one batal-
ion of Michigan cavalry with two Hotch-
kiss guns and a pack tram has just left
for the Wounded Knee, about thirty
miles awav.
The Indian council in the Bad Lands
decided in favor of the hostiles returning
to the agency. They are all now on their
way. Perhaps fifteen or twenty may
slip away, but the authorities feel that
the Indian war has been ended-at least
they express great satisfaction at the
news brought in by couriers who arrived
about 2 o'clock. There is still danger
of serious trouble in case an attempt is
made to disarm the hostiles. Unless
this is done all Indians will be OF their
agen oies within three or four days.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Final conclu-

tion providing for an investigation Of
the charges that representatives and
will probably be reached by the rules
co umittee soon after the holidays are
over. The committee when last the sub
ject was considered discussed the advisa-
bility of SUNNI oniug few witnesses to
be iuterrOgated under oath before decld-
ing what report to make to the house on
the resolution. 1t was thought that if
regularly snppPnaed, the correspond
ents OF the St. Louis Globe Democrat,
in Inch the charge of legislative sill
yer pool was originally made, might be
willing to make some more tangible
statements than had been published or
than they have been willing to volunteer
to the committee.
The speaker was favorable to this
course, but he has doubts of the pro-
priety of the investigation of charges
that don t mako specific and definite al
legation with somewhat of circu mstan-
tial detail and thought the rules COM
mittes should have more of q basis than
the simple newspaper publication upon
which to order an investigation.
Messrs. Blount and Mcmillan, the
Democratic members, thought the COM
mIttes would be justified In ordering an

ought to be had.
