CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Gen. Miles said this
morning that he would go to the North.
west in day or two to direct the mill.
tary arrangements being made in the
Indian country.
Gen. Miles, in an interview, said
"We have overwhelming evidence from
officers and inspectors and testimony
OF agents as well, and also from the
Indians themselves, that they have
been suffering for the want OF food, more
or less, for two years past, and one OF
the principal causes OF disaGection is
this very matter. One OF the principal
objects Of my recent visit to Washing
ton was to urge the necessity Of imme.
date relief, and I am happy to say that
success has crowned my efforts. The
Secretary Of the Interior has ordered IN
increase OF ra,ions and has asked Con-
gress to appropriate the necessary
money. General Brooke telegraphed
this morning IRON Pine Ridge, saying,
"there has been an issue OF rations, ex.
captipg beef" The orders to the agent
at this agency from the Secretary OF the
Interior increases the Indian rations
but slightly in meat" " %
Then the following has been issued
to the Indian agents among the Sioux:

BLAINE'S VICTORY.
The President Finally Won Over to the
Reciprocity Plan.

CHICAGO, Aug. GA special to the Tri-
bune from Cape May says: The seaside
conference is at an end, and the President
and Secretary Blaine leave for their homes.
As a result of the conference the President
will send message to the Senate, or ii not
a state paper a verbal message, recommend
ing the Senate to adopt the Aldrch amend
ment to the Mckinley bill, which vests
discretionary power in the President to
suspend the operations of customs duties
whenever he shall deem ii wise to do so, or
when other countries shall reciprocate. 1t
| Can be stated authoTitatively that the woIk
of the conference resulted in a victory for
Blaine. The President fought against the
scheme of his Secretary on many grounds,
and last of all declared that reciprocity
would result in an injury to commerce.
Blaine then called in Wanamaker to give
his views as merchant. The latter de-
clared that reciprocity would tend to de-
velop trade and would widen the field for
American merchants and enable them to
place their goods in foreign countries where
! they are not used at present. This was
surprise to the President.
Next Major Robert Adams, ex-Minister
to Brazil, was called. He had been sent to
Brazil by Blaine TO learn of the advan-
tages that would accrue to this country
from reciprocity. Major Adams, in a clear,
fOrcible manner, gave his views OF the mat
ter, which tended to strengthen Blaine's
case.
Then, as a final argument and with the
hope of flooring his Secretary, the Presi-
dent introduced General L. Burd Grub of
New Jersey, an iron-manufacturer, to DEM
onstrate how the business of the country
would be injured by reciprocity. Instead
OF proving witness Tor The President Cen
era Grubb favored the scheme of Blaine.
With all this array of evidence against him,
the President is said to have decided that q
change must be made in the Mckinley bill.
1t is said to have been agreed that Blaine
will not interfere with the passage OF the
Force Bill.

Colonel Markham's Attituds on State Division
Little or No Change Nsted in the Stu

For several days past the opponents of
Colonel Markham have been reviying the
question of State division, and are industri-
ously circulating reports in which 1t is
claimed that he secretly favors II. They
claim also that he has never denied the
truth of this charge, but has been content
to let the matter pass on the evasive state.
ments of his friends, which have been pub
lished from time to time. These rumors
have been so carefully disseminated that it
has become common talk on the street and
in the hotels.
1t was with desire to ascertain. if posi-
BILE, the exact sentiments of the Colonel on
this question that a CALL reporter called
upon him last night and asked if he would
clearly define his position, in order that the
public might know exactly how lie stood.
When the subject was preached Colonel
Markham expressed himself as surprised
that there existed any doubt whatever in
the public mind concerning his attitude in
the matter, and said:
II have so often and so emphatically
stated that was opposed to the division of
the State that it seems strange that any one
should still give the matter any considera-
ton. In the first place, am not and never
have been in favor of a division OF the
State. More than that, have never either
uttered OF written word that could by any
possibility be so construed as to lead any
one TO believe me in favor OF 1t.
Il have on every occasion, wnen the mat
ter was brought to my attention, taken the
utmost pains to express myself as emphat-
ically opposed to it; and if you will think
it over you will remember that l was inter-
viewed in Washington in May last by the
correspondent of the Associated Press. At
that time | denied, as l do now, that l
had ever favored the movement, and that
interview was published in San Francisco
newspapers. This. had supposed, would
set the matter forever at rest"

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

STOCKTON, Aug. 6.-Fred Graves, pa
tient in the Pacific Asylum, private insti-
tuition in this city, committed suicide yes
terday forenoon by cutting his throat from
ear to ear with piece of glass from a
broken goblet. The asylum author
tiles kept the matter quiet, after notify
ing the Coroner. on account of the FAM
lily and friends of the deceased, so that
the news of the suicide did not leak out
until to-day. The Coroner's jury found a
verdict that deceased came TO his death by
his own hand. Graves was young man
n years of age, and was brought here in
June from his home, near Sacramento.
He was known to be of a suicidal tendency,
and had attempted to hang himself before he
left home. so precautions we're taken to
keep from him anything he might use to
take his life. He broke goblet and Sc
cured sharp piece of glass, and when the
man having charge of him went to his room
yesterday TO call him for dinner he was ly-
ing on the floor in pool of blood. Calling
for assistance, two attendants entered the
room and raised Graves head, but he was
in the throes of death and died in few
seconds. Near him was a piece of bloody
glass, with which he had cut his
throat. One of the attendants testi-
fed that he saw the deceased short time
before he committed the act, and at that
time he appeared calm ana in his usual
frame of mind. One attendant is employed
for every five patients, and great care was
taken of Graves on account Of his suicidal

AMONG THE CANDIDATES.
No Material Change Noted in Twenty


No Material Change Noted In twenty
four Hours.
Candidates for the nomination for Gov
ernor were thick as VallOmbrosa's leaves at
the Palace Hotel last night, and full half
dozen put in an appearance during the
evening. English, Coleman, Boggs, Paul
sell, Chapman and Markham were all there,
and for an hour or more things were kept
moving at lively rate.
Colonel Markham appeared in the corri-
dor for the first time and was lmmedi-
ately surrounded by crowd of delegates,
all anxious to shake him by the hand. He
attracted more attention than any other of
the candidates, and held the floor for time
to the exclusion of the others.
English and Coleman are such familiar
figures, as is also Boggs. that they attracted
but little notice, and moved about among
their friends without creating any great
stir. Both looked smilingly confident, and
their respective friends claimed certain
victory for both. So far as the situation is
concerned, there seems to be but little
change. beyond the fact that San Benito
County has been drawn into the Markham
line and is no longer in doubt.
Postmaster Backus, who, with Edward
Curtis, is in charge of Morrow's boom, is
working hard for the latter; and it is inti-
mated that he is using the patronage of the
Postoffice to strengthen the movement
This has had the effect of influencing sew
eral delegates who were not committed,
and has added some votes to those already
secured.
Curtis is. perhaps, the most active of Mr..
Morrow's supporters, and is making an ac-
tive and intelligent canvass. He pleads in
extenuation that Mr.. Morrow has been
very kind to him and for that reason he de-
sires his nomination.
General Chapman says little, but looks
volumes. He has arrived at the conclusion
that neither Morrow nor Mark ham can be
means. In case of deadlock, he will be a
dangerous candidate.
Shippee and Paterson have, for the
nonce, dropped out OF sight, and neither of
them is considered by politicians as possess
ing enough positive strength to make them
possibilities.
