Tho Plan Agreed Upon to Carry the Rail-
roads Big Debt.
NEW YORK, sept. 9.--Some inisapprehen-
sion appears to have existed in financial
circles as to the plan to be pursued for
carrying the floating debt of the Union
Pacific railway for the next three years. A
prominent bank president to-day said the
plan is for various banks, trust companies
and other corporations and individuals
having the loan OF the Union Pacific to
agree to accept the company's notes at
three years. at 92 cents OH the dollar, and
bearing six percent. interest, in payment ct
said loans, surrenderinR their oollaterals,
which are to be placed in escrow
with syndicate. or trustees, moro prop
erlp speaking, Of whom Morgan will be tho
chief. The syndicate is not to put up
dollar. The loans aggregate about mines
teen millions, but whether the holders have
all agreed to sign the agreement the Rentle-
men did not know. OF course az such Of
the deposited collaterals appreciate in value
and each the point at which they can by
disposed OF with advantage to the railroa4
company, the syndicate will sell them an@
take up the notes issued against them pr1
rata. The banks and trust companleA
may not like to tie up SO much
money for three years, but as tha
notes are to be issued at so, and bear 6 pet
| cent int interest, they will pay about 73f
per cent, which is not bad investments
This explanation was confirmed at thA
| Union Pacific Office, and also by Russelt
Sage and Sidney Dillon. 1t was further
learned that three -fourths of the loan.
holders had agreed to plan and that the So
called notes would be in the shape OF certiT
ficates with interest bearing coupons att
tached. Dillon said they would not ba

Great Britain VIII Put stop to the Work
of the saints.
LONDON. Sept. 9.-Public opinion in Great
Britain ia at present turning with in igna-
tion upon the Mormon crusade being made
in many country districts. Revelations
Just made show that there are 200 Mormon
missionaries at present working in Great
Britain. and in Scandinavia. Particular
attention has been called by the press to
the operations of two young Mormon mis-
sionaries who have been operating in the
village of Lancashire, and some strange
disclosures as to the proselyting methods
adopted have been made. The result has
been another upheaval of public indigna-
sion, and it is probable another and more
determined attempt will be made to find
some means of putting stop to this trans
Atlantic traffic in women. The revelations
Just made were brought about through pub
lie ventilation and the exposure of the
methods OF the Latter Day SANTA.

The Sioux Commission Will Recon-
mend That the Cheyennes
Stay in the State.
The Members Also Report That
the Indians Have Suffered
Enough. ".
III An Attempt is Made ITO Disturb Then
They Will KavaGe tho Country,
Say These Men.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.--[Speeial. THE
Sioux Indian commission, which has been
endeavoring to settle the differences among
the Indians of South Dakota and the Chey-
ennes of Montana will report that In its
Judgment it would be impracticable to re-
move the Cheyennes from the Tongue river
country 10 South Dakota or to any other
place. In the last congress- Representative
Garter secured an amendment to tho In
dian bill providing for the removal OF the
Cheyennes to South Dakota. Senator Pet
tigrew caught it in the senate and fixed 1T
so that all the Cheyennes should be gath
cred in one place in some OF the states.
This commission, which has been ia the
west for several months, was appointed for
the purpose Of settling the Cheyenne ques-
ton. although great many other matters
were referred to il. The report has not yet
been officially made, but enough is known
Mt the Indian office to make the statement
that the commission will strongly recon- :
mend that the Cheyennes be undistnrbed
at Tongue river, in Montana, and that they
be protected in their rights on that reserya-
tion. Az there will be an array of state
ments to support the proposition, it is more
than likely that congress will support the
findings of the commission.
It seems that there are only 400 Cheyennes
now in South Dakota of the original 6Cl
that were placed there. These married
Sioux squaws and prefer to remain. The
others have gone to the Tongue river
country. There are about 400 young bucks
among the tribe, and 300 squaws who are
ready, the commission reports, to fight ii
an attempt is made to remove them. They
will simply not go, and have prepared te
divide themselves into small bands and
ravage the entire eastern portion of Mon
tana if an attempt is made to remove them
From the findings of the commission
Indian officials are of the opinion that {
great injustice has been done these Chey-
ennes. They say where there is one case OF
trespass against the whites it appears thai
there are dozens of cases of trespass on th'
part of the whites against the Indians. u
| ia the impression of the indian officials tina
| these Indians have been given the worst o
everything in Montana, and that if the
government will see that they are protected
they can remain on the Tongue rive
without difficulty.

Queenstown yesterday from New York by
the Inman line steamship City of New York,

condition Of the British postal officials at
Queenstown, that only the Irish mails were
landed at that port. The rest Of the mails
were taken to Liverpool. where the north Of
England mail is distributed. The remain
inc mail bags were then started for London
on special train, whore they arrived at
l1:5O q. M. Some of this mail matter was
delivered about an hour later, but at the
London general postoffice no special effort
was made in any direction to back up the
efforts which had been made IN the attempt
to deliver Japanese mails in London in un-
precedentedly good time.

BUTTE, Sept. 9.--[Special. I'm the case of
the men accused of the murder of j. W.
Penrose to-day the defense made further
efforts to impeaoh the witnesses for the

witnesses claimed to have seen near the
place OF the murder short time before it's
occurrence. j. w. McCann, secretary of
the miners union, testified that he was with
the accused on the night Of the murder UNI
til 12 O. 'clook and they attended meeting
of the union that night. The last time he
saw him was in saloon on Upper Main
street about two minutes past - O'Clock.

At five mines before 2 a. m. this morning
tho earth began to shake. The wave had a
strong vertical and oscillatory movement.
People rushed into the streets in their
night clothing, and while the shock lasted
only twenty seconds, before it passed away
there was a panic-stricken mob making
way to the open country outside
Of the city. Men, women and children
were shrieking and praying in the atreets:
The walls of houses cracked, tottered and
fell. There was a deep, continuous rum
bling as of heavy thunder. The earth
rose and fell in long waves and the peopla
were unable to keep their feet. All through
the morning there have been slight Shocks
but none approaching in intensity that

PARIS, Sept. 9.-Francois P. Grevy. ex-
president OF the French republic died today
The death of M. Grevy was quite unex-
pected. No alarming symptoms had been
noticed and no anxiety was felt when, he
was taken i'll. The funeral will take place
on Monday at Mont Sous Vaudrey, unless
the cabinet decides for funeral with pub
lie honors, to which the deceased is enti-
tied as former president. No precedent,
however, exists for such a funeral, the
family having refused to permit state
ceremony on the occasion of the death of
the first president of the republic.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 9.-The prohibi-
tion state convention was called to order
this morning by w. II. Purtridge. tempor-
ary chairman. On taking the chair Purt-
fridge addressed the convention at great
length. At the close Of the chairman's ad-
dress many others we're made and the COM
mittee on resolutions reported. The plat
form ,assails the liquor traffic in the usual
manntr and calls for its absolute suppress
sion; denounces high licence or any license,
and demands dissolution of the partner
ship now existing between the government,
state and national, and the rum power;
points out to the supporters Of missions
that the port of Boston ls the foremost in
the expectation of rum to Darkest Africa, !"
and that the traffic has doubled during the
past wear. The seventh plank is as follows:
''We deplore tho depth of degradation, to
which the national department OF state has
descended in becoming "drummer n,na ne th;a IN
country. Add to this the other facts
of the refusal to unite with
other nations in treaty for
the suppression of the slave trade
and the lum traffic in Africa; president
who finds five kinds of wine necessary for
his official banquets; vice presldent VINO
applies for liquor license for his Shore
ham, senate that will not Danish the
barroom from its wing of the capital, and
and house that strangles all inquiry into
the facts of the liquor traffic, and we have
perfect demonstration of the complete
dominancy the rum power has IN our
national affairs, and of the slavish sub
serviency of our public servants to its be-
hests.
The remedies which the party proposes
are: Prohibition by state and national au-
thority Of the manufacture, importation
and expectation, transportation or sale OF
alcoholic beverages, and the election and
the appointment of officials, executive. leg
islatiye and judicial, in sympathy with,
and who will enforce prohibition.
These ends, they believe, are obtninable
only througo party organization for that
purpose. The platform also favors the ap-
pointment rather than election OF prose
outing officers for the same reason that
Judges are appointive. and declares in favor
of female suffrage and strlot enforcement
of the civil service law.
Chas. I'll. Kimball of Lynn. was nonl-
mated for governor by acclamation: Au-
uustus Il, Smith, OF Lee, for lieuten an t
Governor; Alfred w! Richardson, of Spring
