count on the Northwest. There will be
100 members from the states east Of
Ohio, and never vet has a speaker been
elected from state west of the Wabash

be held in the democratic column it
would be good politics to listen to their

himself with the thought that he was a
crank and fled the letter away. About
two weeks afterward he received another
letter from the same person in the same
tenor as the first, bnt with Il direct
threat to kill The president on or imme-

Senator Sherman was startled few
weeks after Chief Bell had received these
Letters by receiving violent letter
threatening tho Presidents life and as
in the two misslv-s resolved previously
by Senator Hoar, the date OF the prosi-

Tribune Mandan, n. D., special saws.
Settlers living on the border OF the
Sioux reservation bring stories of the
armlng OF Indians, which is borne out
by Joseph Buckley, who speaks their
Language. Buckley came in to-day and
says every Indian on the reservation will
shortly so on the warpath. and thew
have got possession of Clusters rifles
which the United States army never
found.
Local hardware men have, in the last
fe" days, sold their entire stocks of am
munition to Indians. Indians say if
they are successful in the raid they will
get double rations and they have nothing
to lose Citizens here settlers who are
unprotected, believe that General Rueer
and Indian authorities are harboring \
feeling Of false security. The MAYOR Of
Mandan has called meeting, and the
war department viii be asked to furnish
citizens with arms, if not with soldiers.
Many settlers between Mandan and the
reservation are abandoning their farms
and ranches because Of the lack of pro
lection Afforded them by the govern
ment.
The most conservative look gloomy at
the outlook. The Indians appear to be
becoming more and more crazed over the
Messiah story. Serious trouble is an
ticipated al the agencies over the com
ing ghost dance The agent has en-
deavored to induce them to foreeo it.
but they are dominant and refuse t.
obey his orders. A woman was brought
before the agent at Standing Rock lew
days ago who the Indians said was the
mother Of the Messiah. The agent in
terro6ated her, but got no satisfaction
as to the identity Of who is to be the
Messiah. She contented herself With re-
/ pea-lag stories aboUt the milleaE;pn to
come, and how white people would be
wiped out entirely Several OF The lend

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-At the Repub-
lican Senatorial caucus to decide the order
of business, which was held to-day, 1t was
concluded to limit the programme for the re-
mainder of the session TO the following bills,
to be considered in the order named, after
the report of the Conference Committee on
the Land Grand Forfeiture Bill shall have
been disposed, Of Anti-Lottery Mail Bill,
bill to repeal the Timber Culture Act. to
establish private land claim courts. for the
relief Of the Supreme Court, for the adjust
ment of the claims of laborers, etc., under the
eight hour law making eight hours days
work, ETC., to transfer the Revenue Marine
Service to the Navy Department, the Pad
dock Pure Food Bill, for the settlement Of
claims arising from Indian depredations,
Torrey Bankruptcy Bill. the bill to place
telegraph companies under the operation Of
the interstate commerce law, and the Dis
trict of Columbia bills.
The question of adjournment was dis
cussed only incidentally. Outside of the
caucus the opinion was freely expressed
that after the Tariff Bill is disposed Of a
quorum could be held for only short time
The general opinion is that until the Tariff
Bill is finally disposed of, the day for adj
journment cannot be fixed. The engross-
ment of the Tariff Bill is completed, and 1t
was signed and sent to the House this aft
ernoon and referred to the Ways and Means
Committee. 1t will probably be reported
back Monday or Tuesday.
Senator Plumb TODAY reDorted fayOrably
from thu Public Lands Committee the bill
declaring that railroad land grants shall not
be held TO include land containing valuable
deposits of gold, silver, lead, iron or other
metal, unless the same is speclied In the

General Sherman was on the platform. Mr..
Depew made a speech. He thanked the
club for its cordial welcome upon his return

Mckinley. They seem 10 regard Nc

up economic subjects and invented a new
scheme by which to close up the factories
of Europe and starve the people into
submission to the American Government.
They piled me with questions as 10 Mckin-
ley and tried to get an expression As to the
nature of the man and what he is going to
do with all people abroad. l replied that
my notion of Mckinley was that POSSIBLY
he had an idea of inducing them 10 emigrate
with all their factories and workmen to the
great American country, and thus help give
greater consuming power to our agricu-
tural products. Inasmuch as some Of the
great governments bad taken a notion that
they did not want TO be on familiar terms

do was to increase the consuming capacity

New YORK, Sept. 11.-Levy Mayer. the
Chicago lawyer, who has been identified
with the formation of number of big
English syndicates in this country. and who
went to Europe last summer to find in

prises, returned yesterday. He said
"There are two companies which l repre-

enterprises sent over TO England to be
fioated not five have found hackers with

that in every big city in America there are

Names Mentioned for the Position Of Directc

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE principal topic
at the Worlds Fair headquarters to-day
was that of the selection of Director Gen.
eral. General d. Fl. Hastings If Pennsyl-
vania arrived this morning and is under
stood to be working for the position. A. I.
Goshorn, eX-DirectoT-General Of the Centen-
NAL, can hardly be called a candidate, but it
is possible if the honor were rendered him
unanimously he might accept. Ex-Congress-
man George II. Davis of Chicago is also
prominently mentioned.
"a strong sentiment prevails among a
portion at least Of the National Commission
that the double site is an unfortunate selec-
ton, and the matter will undoubtedly be re-
considered next Monday" So said Hon.
Mark Mcdonald of California, the Worlds
Fair Commissioner at Large, when shown
by an Associated Press reporter a SYNOPSIS
of the proceedings of the Worlds Fair Con-
vention at San Francisco.
Mr.. Mcdonald added: 1.-THE action of
the convention emphasizes the feeling /
found in talking. before coming here, with
the leading reople on the Pacific Coast.
Since reaching Chicago l have fre-
quently expressed myself to that effect.
The local talk here about the necessity
for a division Of the site. else portion OF
the city may defeat the proposed issue OF
municipal bonds in aid of the great enter-
prise. Is simply absurd and utterly unworthy
of Chicago. The fair is worth untold mill
ions to the city in investments that will be
made here and the money spent here in
hundreds Of WAYS by visiting multitudes.
OF course the fair should be held on the
lake-front shore, for the cool breeze, marine
displays and no end of other reasons. But
that is no cause for cltting up the fair and
putting portion of it miles away from the
remainder. There is any desired quantity

Morgan Opposes the Conference Report on the
Land Grant Forfeiture Bill

Morgan Opposes the Conference Report on the
Land Grant Forfeiture Bill.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE House bill
for the sale of certain lands for school pur-
poses in the town of Pelican, Wis, was
placed On the calendar.
The resolution offered yesterday by Nor
gan calling on the Secretary of the Interior
for in formation as to the lands of the North
ern Pacific Railroad and other companies
whose roads were not completed within the
period fixed by tie granting act, was agreed
to.
The conference report on the Railroad
Land Forfeiture Bill was taken up. The
main proposition is contained in the first sec
tion forfeiting to the United States all lands
heretofore granted to any State or corporation
to aid the construction of a railroad opposite
to and cOterminous with portion of any
such railroad not row completed and in
operation, for the construction or benefit of
which such lands were granted, and all such
lands shall be declared part of the public
constructed as forfeting the right OF way or
station ground OF any railroad company
which has heretofore been granted.
Morgan opposed the report as a log-rolling
scheme gotten up for the benefit Of all land
grant roads. While the first section pro-
fessed to be forfeiture, all the other sec
tl0nS related to separate railroads and eX-
empted them from the operation of the for
feiture section, or else secured them pecu-
mary advantages. The most that could be
said of the bill was that few small rail-
roads that had not got friends enough in the
two houses were to be crucifed for the sake
Of CLOSING over and vanishing the false pre-
tense of general forfeiture. After speak
Ing for over four hours Morgan yielded to
motion to adjourn.
