The Bee Boyootters Left Again.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 16.-Judge Buckles
of Solano, who sat in the contempt case
brought against the managers of the Bee
at the instance of parties boycotting
that paper, today rendered a de.
cision in favor of the Bee. In
the suit for preliminary injunc-
tion against the boycotters before
Judge Armstrong, while the matter
was under advisement, the Bee
published affidavits showing the facts of
the boycott as taken under the instruc-
tions of the court. but rendered unnec-
essary because the facts of the COM
plant were conceded. The boycotters
had the Bee managers arrested, claiming
that the publication was made to cor
ruptly influence the decision of Judge
Armstrong. Judge Buckles holds that
no such intent was shown.

INYO INDIANS.
Some Talk of Their Going on the War
Path.

H. T. Robinson, of Inyo county, is
guest at Montgomery-street hotel,
says the San Francisco Chronicle Of
Monday. He brings news that the Piute
Indians of his region, particularly in
the vicinity of Owens valley, are agita-
ted over the Messiah craze, and that
there is danger of an uprising should the
Indian scare continue.
Mr.. Robinson informed Chronicle
reporter that Indian emissares from the
tribes of the Dekotas had reached Owens
valley and were endeavoring to excite the
Piutes of Inyo county. The older men,
bers of the Piute tribe are not averse to
going on the war path ,and are only held
back by the young bucks, who thus far
have refused to declare themselves
ready for war. At all events the situa-
tion is becoming serious.
Inyo county has population embrace
ing about 1900 Plutes, and they could
very easily get together 1000 warriors.
There are not more than 500 white men
in the whole Ovens valley region who
could prepare themselves for Indian
fighting, and the total quantity of arms
and ammunition in the county would
not equip over 300 men. Owing to this
condition of affairs the residents and
settlers are more or less alarmed, and
have called the matter to the attention
of Assemblyman Hunewill. The settlers
claim that the state should at least give
them arms sufficient to protect them
selves in case the Piutes should 90 on
the warpath. An uprising of the Piutes
would cause great destruction OF
property and some loss OF life, and the
fact that the county is so remote from
the other parts of California, is in itself
a reason that the state should take some
action in the matter. 1t is proposed at
the next session of the state legislature
to authorize the formation of local mill
tary companies in the OVENS valley
region.

The Franchise, the Elections Bill and
Labor Petitions.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-In the course
of the mornings business in the senate,
today, Senator Hoar read letter from
John l. Davenport, making vigorous
denial of the charges preferred against
his conduct as chief supervisor OF cleo
tions, and protesting his willingness to
appear before a senate committee to an
swer the charges.
The pending business was the consid-
Grafton OF Dolph's resolution providing
for an investigation as to whether the
right to vote was denied or abridged in
any state, with Vests amendment
extending the inquiry as to whether
by state legislation any man
was denied the right to work on public
works by reason of his color. Morgan,
in opposing the resolution, called atten-
tion 10 the fifteenth amendment OF the
constitution, criticising it and contend
ing that the foundation of the country
would be much better had the govern
ment been content with the fourteenth
amendment.
Pending further debate, the senate
proceeded to consideration of the cleo
tions bill, Morgan concluding his speech
against it. Its discussion was then tenn
pOrarily suspended, and Pugh gave
notice of an amendment requiring
deputy marshals, etc., to be OF good
moral character, and able to read and
write.

SILVER LEGISLATION.
Henry Clews Makes Some Novel Sug-
gestions ON This Subject.

Henry Clews Makes Some Novel Sug-
gestions This Subject.
New YORK, Dec. 16.-Henry Clews
has addressed an open letter to the sec
retary of the treasury, in which he
makes one or two novel suggestions
about silver legislation. Clews wants
congress to amend the present silver
law by inserting clause giving the sec
retary of the treasury authority to change
at his discretion the periods of the pur-
chase of silver. The present law pro-
vides for 4,500,000 ounces each month,
which is absolute. In place OF this, to
provide for the present money crisis, he
wants the secretary to have authority,
at his discretion, to purchase
a double amount in December, equal to
5000, 600 ounces, and the same for Janu-
ary, February and March, and suspend
the purchases provided for in the
months of April, June and July, next,
entirely.
"What is important for the people of
the country to know for a certainty" +"
says Clews, lis that they can rely upon
the present law being permanent and
not subject to changes at the conven-
ience of every congress. When the pres
ent law has been in existence year, it
will bring out new silver money aggre-
eating in amount about 500, 900, and
each year thereafter an equal sum. In
ten years from the date of the passage OF
the act the amount of this money will
be about $500, 100000. This annual in
crease, am OF the opinion, will be am
pie for that class of money, and it would
be unwise to increase it. 1t certainly
will be sufficient if congress will also
pass, at an early date, the Sherman bill,
which provides for national bank bills
to be issued up to the par value OF
United States bonds. This will increase
that class of money about $l50,000, 900.
