Trouble With the Indians.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The secretary
of the interior has received a telegram
corroborating the report that a white
man was recently massacred on Tongue
river reservation in Montana by the
northern Cheyenne Indians. The set
tiers in that section are said to be in a
state of great alarm, fearing a general
uprising, and in order to prevent fur
Their bloodshed and to restore confidence
and a feeling of safety among the set
tiers, the" secretary has requested the
war department to Immediately dispatch
one or more companies of cavalry to the
reservation. Reports received at the
interior department show a very unsatis-
factory state of affairs exists at the
Greenbay, Wis, agency. Kilsay, who
wa some time ago nominated and con-
trmed as agent of the Menominees at
Greenbay agency, has not been permitted
as yet to take charge of his office. The
Indians, it is said, are very much OPP
posed to a change of agents, and to show
their regard for the old agent and to pre-
vent, if possible, his being dispossessed,
they have made such hostile demonstra-
tions as to apparently intimidate the
new agent, 80 that he is afraid to exer-
else his authority. In order to bring
the matter to a conclusion Secretary
Noble has telegraphed Kilsay to take
charge of his Office at once or he would
see that an agent was appointed who
would do 80. .4''l.'ni

NO THIRD

The North Dakota Farmers Alliance De-
cided to support the Party that Suits
Them Best.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., June 5.-The
North Dakota Farmers alliance to-day
rejected the independent political action
plan and decided to stick by the party.
The report favoring a third party had
been prepared, but Fancher argued the
committee out of it. It was resolved to
present the platform of the two parties
and support that party and those candi-
dates who most nearly suited the alli-
ance's convictions. If proper candidates
are not named then the alliance will act
Independently, but not before. A reso-
luton favoring woman suffrage was
adopted. The alliance also favored an
amendment to the state constitution to
exclude lottery companies and demanded
the passage of the Australian election
law by the legislature.

Racing at st. Louis.

ST.. Louis, June IA more ideal day
for racing could not be conceived than
that which favored the patrons of the St.
Louis Jockey club for the opening of the
regular summer meeting. The attend
ance was estimated at ten thousand.
Everything went off to perfection. The
derby race was, Of course, the big event
Of the day, but 1t wal a great disappolnt-
ment. There was but one horse in it, so
far as qualities for frst-class perform
ance is concerned-Blll Letcher. He
had a cinch on the result. In betting he
was a hot favorite at 1 to -.
Queer Toy had been backed heavily for
the place, but was scratched early in the
day, leaving only Letcher, Bishop and
GraysoD in the race. Ferguson sent
them off at the first attempt, Bishop in
the lead, Letcher half a length back and
Grayson a full lngth behind. At the
first quarter, Grayson attempted to bolt,
and his jockey had all he could do to
keep him out Of. the fence. He
was not in the race after that. Passing
the stand the positions were the same as
at the start. They remained practically
unchanged until the mile was reached,
when Bill Letcher with the greatest ease
passed Bishop and had the race won. He
travelled easily into the stretch. Here
the Bishop was given the whip but he
could not catch the leader. Letcher fin
ished first under a pull, Bishop was sec.
ond four lengths back and two lengths
in front of Grayson. Time, 2:414.

executive silver committee to-day
adopted q resolution to the effect that in
case a satisfactory measure for the full
restoration of silver to it's former place

the view to sinking politics and making
the silver question the controlling issue
in future campaigns, particularly in the
congressional districts in the next cleo
ton, and advise that nobody be sup
who is not in favor Of such full rest .ra-
ton. The committee regard with unal-
terable disfavor any bullion redemption
provision.

Minnesota

ST.. PAUL, June, 6.-The Minnesota
farmers alliance executive committee met
here to-day. The questions Of political
action had been referred to the local alli-
ances but not enough of these had been
heard from to warrant definite action by
the committee. The committee consid-
cred a scheme for the securing of large
loans from English syndicate capitalists
at very low rates. An offer was made to
lend a large sum of money on farm land
security at 8 per cent, through the
agency of the alliance. They wanted Z
per cent. and have given the syndicate
thirty days to come to that figure.

Organizing a New Party.

HURON. June 6.-The Farmers ALI
ance and Knights of Labor closed a three
days session here this evening. The
most important action was a decision to
organize a new party, a resolution pro-
viding for such a movement being car
ried by a vote of Alb to SO. Immediately
on the announcement of the vote the ALI =
ance adjourned amid the widest excite
ment and a convention to take political
action was at C organized with I. w.
Cosend, of Potter county, as chairman.
The committee on resolutions reported in
favor of woman suffrage, graded service
pension, prohibition of the liquor traffic,
tariff for revenue only and denouncing
the acceptance of passes by legislators
and other public officials, and the report
was adopted. On the suggestion of
President Loucks of the alliance, the
new party was named the "Independent
party" A platform was adopted which
includes q state and national declaration
of the principles of the farmers alliance
and industrial union and the rights of
labor and demands that the currency to
be issued by the general govern
ment be full legal tender, to in
crease in volume with the increase
of business and to be issued
directly to productive Industries without
the intervention of banks of issue. Sec
ond, we demand railroad transportation,
telegraph and telephone service at actual
cost; and that the government shall own
and operate the same. Third, We de-
mand free and unlimited coinage of sill
or. Fourth, we demand the adoption
of an absolutely secret voting system,
both state and national. Fifth, we de-
mand the most rigid economy consistent
with the safety of our state and nation
in the administration of every branch of
our government. Sixth, we demand the
passage of laws prohibiting alien owner
ship of land and that congress take steps
to obtain the lands owned by aliens and
foreign syndicates, and that the land
now held by corporations in excess
of such as is actually used
and needed by them, be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual settlers
only" The committee on manifesto re-
ported an address to the people of South
Dakota, setting forth the grievances and
demands of a new party, which are that
existing parties paid no attention to the
requests for relief from the encroach.
ments of capital, and therefore, a new
party seems necessary for deliverance OF
the masses, the motto of which shall be
Gin the spirit of love and justice the peo'
pie rule" A state central committee
was appointed and the state convention
for the nomination of officers called tt
meet at Huron, July 9, The convention
concluded by adopting resolutions favor
ing Huron for the state capital.

WHEELING, w. Va, June 5.-The re-
port has just reached here of a horrible
wreck on the Ohio river railroad, be-
tween here and Parkersburg. Surgeons
and an associated press reporter will
leave here for the scene if possible
on a special train. It is just learned that
the Ohio river railroad train was a
special of two cars, filled with Baltimore
& Ohio railroad officials, en- route to
Wheeling. A special train with sur
geons and an associated press reporter
on board has just left the depot. It will
be impossible to get details until a very
late hour. The train went through a
trestle and the disaster is said to be ap.
palling, though this is not yet confirmed,
as the officials can give no information.

was a special consisting of private

pants of the car we're badly injured and

liant Oarsmen to be found south of the
Equator. Many people incline to the
opinion that this Sculler is likely to be
the future champion of the world. AT
any rate, upon him will rest the onus Of
defending the championship at no dis
tant day.

Hawkesbury river on July 81, 1854, beat
