BLAINE FOR FREE SUGAR..

But He Want 1t Conditional ON an Open
Market for Our People.
A letter from Secretary Blaine to ex-
Mayor Cony says: "You are in error in
.sxq,pposing that I am opposed to sugar be-
ine; xlI,,ssaitted free of duty. My objection
il not TO rs. s,;gar. but to the proposed
method of making il ii iissss r. IN the pend.
ing tari6 bill sugar is placed upon asee
list, we give to certain countries a free
market for $95, 600, 900 of their products,
while they ere not asked to open their
markets to the free admission Of q single
dollar OF American products. We ought
to have, in exchange for free sugar from
certain countries, q free market for
breadstufts and provisions, besides various
fabrics from all parts Of the country. In
short, We ought 10 secure in return for
free sugar. . market for $50, DOC, 900 or
SO. 0OO, 900 worth Of our own products.
1t will not require reciprocity treaties to
secure this great boon. The tariff bill can
contain oil the necessary conditions. The
Legislative power is able to secure the de-
sired end. Within the last twenty wears
we have given the countries south of us
free admission for nearly 500, 600, ooo
worth Of their products, without receiving
q penny's advantage in exchange. If sugar
be nov made Internationally free, we shall
have given to the Latin-American coun-
tries free admission for $50, OOo, 0GO Of
their products. 1t is time, 1 think. to
look out for some reciprocal advantages.
We are a very rich nation, but not rich
enough to trade on this unequal basis"

WORT 1t Laying lt Commenced at Halifax
Tho Residents Re3osce.
The wsstmsath steamer, which IL 70
connect the Island Of Bermuda With North
America BY cable, has arrived at Halifax.
She left Bermuda Thursday last. There
va . slight hitch with the military author
tiles on tho island regarding the place for
landing the shore end Of the cable, owing
to the torpedo mines With which the chan
mel going into the harbor Of Hamilton 10
protected, but this was finally satisfactorily
arranged. The once Of the company being
in the town Of Hamilton. ton miles Of
heavy cable was laid. so as to
connect with tho cable that will
be situated at Castle lslands. The
work Of sounding was commenced in shall
low water of Bermuda into deep water
1900 fathoms. The bottom is found to
be very smooth and soft. The steamer
completed the line of souudlugs COM
menced by the British wsrship Challenger,
on h-r memorable voyage around the world
some years ago, across the eige Of the La
have bank of Halifax. The soundings
were taken within 100 miles of here. With
the exception of the extreme softness in
places. good bottom was found over the
whole course. The maximum reached was
$500 fathoms, and the lowest temperature
was 34.4 degrees. The cable will be laid
in an almost straight line with the
exception Of q slight curve it will
have to take in order to get around the
Lahave bank. Arrangements have been
completed with imperial authorities by
which the shore end will be landed at her
majesty's lumber yard at the south end Of
the city and directly alongside Of where
the cable Of the direct United States COM
pany is landed. Laying operations will he
commenced in about six days from this
end, and the engineering officials on board
say 1t everything goes we'll they expect to
have the work completed by July i, and
the line in operation in about three days
after. They say the residents of Bermuda
are o%verjoyed at the prospect OF
being supplied with the means Of
communication with the outside
world. and express the hope that it may be
the means Of bringing many New Workers
as we'll as other Americans to the place.
1t is thought nc difficulty will be expert
enced from the coral reefs at Bermuda,
over which the line will pass, but that the
coral will build itself around the cable and
thus afford 1t additional protection. After
laying the line to Bermuda the Wsstmeath
will return to Halifax and remain here un-
til the thirty days given by the markers Of
the cable is up, after which she will return
to London and take on board 1900 miles
of cable. which is to be laid between Mar
tiniluo and other West India islands 10
that vicinity.

mont Of $2,254,0O in gold to Germany,

Columbia Thursday, has been followed by
the circulation in banking circles Of several
disgusting rumors, one reaching the gov
eminent officials to the effect that the
shipments are on direct orders from the
German chancellor. Ono of the leading
bankers said:
The recent advance 10 exchange in Ber-
lin and the low rate Of sterling exchange in
Germany arose from the policy OF Extend
ing the German export business and at the
same time placing such restrictions on i'm
porte as to practically profit by them.
The reasons for this policy 10 that tho
German government is boarding gold, and
no matter what excuse the banker acting
as its agent may make, IL is we'll under
stood where the order comes from and
where the gold goes to-"
1t is estimated that $40, 100000 will bs
taken by Heldelbach. Ickelheimer & Co.
on present orders from New York. The
English bankers said that sterling exchange
and exchange bars we're just at the gold
shipping point and any further advance in
rates would bring out large export orders.
A worse feature Of the situation is the
fact that gold bars in the assay Office which
two years ago amounted to $9O,OO0,0 600,
have decreased to $50, 500, 600. If they
should be all absorbed o drain on the
double eagles in the sub.treasury will
follow, and the banks will lose q part Of
their specie holdings.
The opision on Wall street is freely ex-
pressed that the law allowing the shipment
Of gold bars for export should be amended,
and the treasury officials should insist upon
paving all checks in coin. This would
limit the shipment OF gold to q small fig
ure. for it would take q wide difference in
exchange for shippers to realize q profit in
shipping coin. Gold bars are of extra fine.

THE PINE RIDGE SCARE.
Indians as Badly frightened Over tho
Rumors az tho Whites.

Indians rs Badly Frightened Over tho
Rumors az tho Whites.
During the latter part of last week set
tiers who reside on the borders of Pine
Ridge reservation became greatly alarmed
relative to an Indian outbreak, and those
who resided nearer to Chadron hurried to
that place with their families, while the
settlers residing east of that point in Fall
River county, bundled mp and came
into Oelrichs. Capt. Mills, who is
in command of troops A ind B of
the Eighth cavalry, temporarily located.
here, at once commenced to investi-
gate the cause of the scare, which proved
utterly groundless. It seems that after
the beef issue of last week the Indians re-
paired to Tepee creek, at o q point some
eighteen miles from here, for the purpose
of indulRing in a feast, dance and horse
race. Twelve different bands were repre-
sented, about 400 lodges in all, and up to
Saturday evening they were having a gem
eral, all-round good time. That evening
they learned the whites had gained an idea
that the presence OF so many Indians to-
gether meant an outbreak, and they at
once pulled up and lit out for their several
camps.
Monday American Horse, o Sioux chief,
came in for the purpose of having a talk
with Capt. Mills. He said it was their in
tention to have remained in camp several
days longer, but as soon as they learned Of
the scare among the whites they at once
dispersed. He deeply regretted the idea Of
such a rumor OF q threatened outbreak ever
having been started, and a%nxiously inquired
as to the father of the cauard.
American Horse states that the runor as
to couriers having been sent hers from the
Northern Chesennes for the purpose Of at
tempting to get the Pine Ridge Indians to
leave the reservation is utterly false, as
none Of the northern Indians have been
on the Pine Ridge reservation this sum-.
mer.
These annual Indian scares are becom.
ing very tiresome, and it is to he hoped
settlers will. in the course of years at least,
learn to place no credence whatever in.
such rumors as this portion of the country
has been treated to during the past few
days. The Indians have NO desire to go
on tho warpath and could not if they
did. All they ask is that the government
live up to it's agreement with them in the
matter of rations and they will be content
to remain on their respective reservations.

Five of the Wager family-the mother. AZ

The rainfall was simply immense, fully
