the day in subjectinR the Iowa

will examine the writing, the ink and
the paper with the closest possible scruti-
ny, subiecting each feature to every test

taken at every step and their evidence as to
the genuineness of the document promises
to be sensational feature of sensational

made with view to making the expert tes-
timony as convincing as possible. These
gentlemen are all here in the interest of

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 4.-The Evening Jour

name is withheld, Gus Beaulieu, reside mt

Indians of the northwest, says: "rhe whole

was two months preceding the
Custer massacre, that Miles and his sol
diers rushed in upon an Indian village in
Montana and there shot down every man,
woman and child in it without mercy.
There were between two hundred and three
hundred Indians killed. The village being
far from telegraph. inform: tion of the hor-
rible affair was not known until after the
Custer massacre, and then, of course, the
public mind was SO occupied with the Gus
ter massacre that no attention was paid to
the previous massacre of Indians"
After speaking of the breaking of treaties
Beaulieu said: THE Indians throughout
/, the entire northwest are collecting facts
regarding the Miles outrage in Montana
| and the failure of the government every
where to keep treaties. Certain chiefs viii
be designated to go to Washington tc
present their own wrongs and grievances
| and more especially to expose the whole
| truth in regard to the outrage committed

there should be as much of success in this

men have been in training for several
weeks and it is certain that they will meet
on an equal footing in the matter of physi-
cal condition. Jack McAuliffe, the light.
weight champion will be behind MCCARTHY,
which will be worth good deal to tina!

INTERSTATE COMMERCE..
Combinations That May be Made Under

Combinations That May be Made Under
Certain circumstances.
WASHINGTON, Feb. A bill was favora-
bly, reported to-day by Senator Cullom to
amend the interstate commerce act. It
provides that competing common carriers
may, with the approval of the interstate
commerce commission, erter into contracts
or agreements with respect to traffic when,
in the opinion of the commission the gen.
eral public interest aud general welfare are
thereby subserved. These contracts and
agreements, when subscribed by such car
riers, and when fled with and approved blythe
commission, shall be binding between the
parties thereto, subject, however, to the
authority conferred upon the commission
to annul any such contract or agreement
when the commission is of opinion that
public interest requires it. This pro-
vision shall not permit the diversion Of
traffic routed or consigned by shipper
over any specified route. The scope
of section three, against undue or unreas-
enable preferenoai is, extended considerably.
An amendment made to section IL, declares
unlawful wilful false billing, false repre-
sentation of contents of package, or other
means for obtaining transportation at less
than regular rates. Other amendments
provide that the commission may require
reports from common carriers at any time.
Nothing in the act shall be SO construed as
to prevent free carriage to their homes or
places of treatment of persons injured in
railroad accidents, or OF their bodies for
burial in case of death, or of physicians or
nurses for attendance upon them; or trans
portation free or at reduced rates of actual
resident members of families of employees.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Subcommittee

congress made up lengthy report to-day
which will be presented to the committee
of 200 which meets next month in Wash

one delegate at large from every
republic, and one delegate for every
five millions Of citizens and fractions ex-
ceeding half that number; the second body
to be composed Of delegates from great
patriotic, civil, commercial, educational
md industrial organizations that express
in their fundamental laws devotion to the
principles enunciated in the declaration of
Independence of tho United States, and to
be approved by the executive committee of
the proposed congress. These delegates
Ger Of such organization; second,
one delegate at large from the
organization; third, one delegate
for each 300,0 600 members in good standing,
or fraction Of that number exceeding co.
900. The general scope of tue proposed
congress shall be to consider the interests
of free institutions and the best means of
promoting the same among nations. With
religious institutions the congress shall
have nothing whatever to do. The COM
mittee outlines at length what questions
might be dealt with in the consideration of
civil or political institutions.

The FREQ Coinage of Silver Demanded
Reeds Arbitrary Action Denounced
--COngress Held Responsible.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--To-night the COM
mittee OF the Farmers alliance presidents,
on silver legislation, made report urging
upon congress the demand heretofore made
by the National Farmers alliance for the
free and unremitted coinage OF silver. upon
the same terms and conditions that gold Ia
now coined. The report says, in part:
"We regard it as high duty eDjoined upon
congress by the constitution to provide for
the unlimited coinsge Of both precious
metals, gold and silver, to the end that the
people of the several states may be provided
with circulating medium. We express our
surprise, regret and indignation that this
duty has been 80 long delayed and neglect
ed, contrary, as we believe, not only to tho
duty we have mentioned but to tho best
interests of the masses of the people who
| are suffering the pangs of poverty, and the
stagnation of business, caused by want Of
sufficient circulating medium. We believe
and charge that such delay has been occa-
stoned by undue influences in our govern
mental policy by those whose interest it is
to contract the currency and subserve mon-
opolies and money lenders. We express
our earnest condemnation of the exer-
else of an arbitrary power whioh
prevented the fair consideration Of free
coinage bill at the last session of congress,
and hope the bill which passed the senate
at the present session may be speedily re-
! ported to the house and enacted into law.
| We say to the representatives in the coin
age committee that any efforts TO unduly
delay report on the bill, 80 as to prevent ac-
ton thereon by the house in the few re-
naming days of this congress. will merit
| and receive still further condemnation by
the farmers and laborers of this
country. We have waited many
years for the simple justice
of having both precious metals
| restored to free coinage, and hereby declare
our determination to press the fight on this
line until this relief is accorded to the la
| boring and producing masses OF our nation,
and to hold responsible the men, irrespect-
| i've of party, who obstruct in any way the
legislative enactment Of the just measure
so strongly demanded by the laboring
classes of all parties.'' Z
/ The council will endeavor to obtain a
hearing before the house committee to-
morrow and present this report. The sub
treasury and land loan propositions are be-
ing considered by another committee.

PAYING TRIBUTE.
American Transcontinental Lines Give Up
Big Sum Annually.

American Transcontinental Lines Give Up
~ Big Sum Annually.
New York, Feb. "A local paper says it
is startling fact that the Canadian Pacific
railway is exacting subsidy of S5OO,OOO a
year from American transcontinental rail
roads in consideration of keeping out of
California. The business will probably be
brought to the front at Washington
shortly in debate on proposed legis-
lation hostile to Dominion railroads. The
Western Traffic association will consider
the matter, too. The subsidy was agreed
upon just before that organization was
formed 1t is very much on the same prin-
ciple as the payments, popularity recognized
as blackmail, which the Pacific Mail
Steamshipline squeezes out of the same rail
roads in consideration of its not cutting
rates to Pacific points, These payments
aggregate about $700,00O a year. so it will
be seen that the transcontinental lines pay
altogether 81, 100000 annually to their COM
petitors. The story of the Canadian Pacific
subsidy will be news to most people. Be
fore President Van Horne made arrange
ments to get it the Canadian Pacific was
placated by being allowed ditferontial
rate.
