ExCITEMENr1N IN BRUSSELS.
WOrkingmen Determined to Parade
Tronble in Germany.

LONDON, May 13.-Today's dispatches
state that great excitement exists in
Brussels. The workingmen are deter
mined to hold their parade in defiance of
the city authorities, and the burgomaster
is equally stubborn The troops are in
readiness to suppress any outbreak, the
gendarmes having spent all night under
arms. The working people of Ghent are
out in force today, and similar demon
strations are reported in various cities of
Belgium. The troops on the Belgian
frontier adjoining France have captured
large quantity of circulars, printed, it
is thought, in England. These circulars
appeal to the people to strike blow for
liberty and not be any longer the slaves
of oligarchy.
The leaders of the strike at the West
phalia mines, who were put under arrest
when the strike movement began, have
been released without trial. The mines
are in such di1apidated condition that
production In large quantities will not be
possible fol several days to come. Gov
ernment inspectors are busy examining
the mines and ascertaining what, if any,
danger exists. The workingmen of Boch-
um not engaged in coal mining have sub
scribed a sum of money for the benefit
of the poor miners who, in the midst OF
plenty, are actually starving. The sur
render of the miners is due to this fact.
DR.. B. Rassert. who is charged with the
administration of the mines, is quoted as
saying that the safety of the miners is
here more carefully attended to than in
Germany, which is the reason that the
country is comparatively free from great
mining calamities.

WILL WANT GOLD.

The Russian Government Will Withdraw w
E3,OOO,OOO.
LONDON, May 15.-The Times believes
the Russian government will withdraw
f3 100000 from London within the
next month or two and that it is
doubtful whether the bank of England
will be liable to draw that amount from
America besides which, adds the Times,
there is a strong probability of a partial
failure of European crops which would
cause drain of gold to America in the
new future,

PENDLEToN, May 13.-The effort to en-
list Umatilla Indians in the United

coming soldiers. 1--WE want to live on
our land among peaceable people, and
be at peace" said one chief.

FAIKCHILD's IDEAS ON SILVER.
The Ex-Secretary Tells How He Would
Solve n Vexatious Problem.

Solve n vexatious Problem.
PROVIDENCE, May l3.-At a dinner
given in his honor by the Young Mems
Democratic club tonight, ex-Secretary of
the Treasury Fairchild, speaking on the
currency question, said that the secretary
of the treasury should be allowed to buy
silver bullion to an unlimited extent,
then issue silver certificates against it,
or coin certificates, but to have a safety
value, which would stop the process
when the business of the country demon
strated that the issue of silver certificates
had gone far enough. The maximum OF
silver beyond the outstanding certificates
might be held by the treasury. When
SIC, 900, 900 had accumulated, it would be
a warning that the business of the
country was getting more silver than it
needed. Then let the purchase of bullion
cease until the surplus was dimished to
s., 900, 900, when the purchase might be-
gin again.

TOILER AND STRIKER.
Railroad COnduc tors Decide to Join the
Federation. Talk of Compulsory
Insurance.

ST. LOUIS, May 13.-Today's session
of the convention of the order of railroad
conductors was very important. The
report of the committee appointed last
year to look into the question of joining
the federation of railway employees was
read. 1t was brief and heartily favored
amalgamation. A ballot was then taken,
resulting in 293 in favor of federation
and seven opposed to it. This is the
most important act yet taken by the cr-
ganization. The report of the committee
on insurance strongly seconded Clark g
suggestion to make change in the in
surance laws SO that all members be
hereafter compelled to belong to the in
surance department instead of at their
option, as now. The report will prob
ably be adopted.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, May 13.-C. A.
Spaford, the private secretary of Henry
Willard, was in Superior today. Mr..
Spafford was questioned in regard to the
probable relationship between the
American Steel Barge company and the
Northern Pacific, in the matter of lake
and rail business and particularly the
package freight and general merchandise
traffic. While not disposed to talk freely
upon the subject, Mr.. Spafford admitted
that the near future would probably
bring the two companies into closer bust
tacit admission that this business ar
rangement, which has been much talked
OF, is an extreme probable one. 1t is
thought that this relationship will exist
as regards ocean traffic, when the barge
company completes its coast plant.

Sheriff of Scotland county passed

CIRCUS A NEAR.
Everybody Expectartly Waiting for the
Far-Famed Ringling Brothers
Aggregation.

The long expected and much
talked Of Ringing Brothers great
circus and Roman hipprodrome will
will be in Mexico on Wednesday,
September 8, and Judging from the
favorite comments everywhere heard
and the general feeling of pleasure
expectancy regarding the show, the
town will be crowded on that day.
This is by far the best show that
has ever been in this vicinity, and
nothing is heard in the neighbor-
hood for twenty miles around but
circus talk. Our friends in the adj
joining townships should get into
town early as the Ringing Broth
ers are energetic showmen and their
great street pageant will move
promptly at ten o'clock. The man
agement assures US that the parade
will be the finest spectacle ever
seen upon the streets of any city,
and that it will be given in its en-
tirety, including all its world-fam-
Gus features, its open dens of per-
forming wild beasts, its mammoth
herd of Asiatic elephants, its hun
dreds Of high.bred horses and its
thousand other features invented
and introduced in society by these
great showmen.
The doors of the show will be
open an hour before each perform
ance-afternoon and night, but
tickets "a be purchased at the
ticket wagon earlier in the day to
avoid the rush. There are no ticket
spectators with the show and the
public need have no fear of being
swindled by irresponsible persons.
The performance will be given in
three rings and upon an elevated
stage, engaging the services of over
one-hundred high-salaried acrobats,
gymnasts and riders, A grand feat
ure will be the hippodrome races in
the great racing track, extending
the length of the immense canvas
amphitheatre. Moth ing so thrill
ingly exciting has ever before been
seen. Wednesday, September 9th,
will be a geat day for Mexico.

Correspondence of the Ledger.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
BEAVER DAM, STANDARDIZATION
correspondent never has had the
pleasure of visiting a show of this
character that was more of a C
than the one of Crockett & Bro,
which took place ON their splendid
stock farm last Friday afternoon.
The premiums were the season
of 1892 for the best horse and mare
mule by each of their we'll known
jacks, Bill Bass and Paymaster,
their offspring speaking better than
words to a crowd of perhaps 225 Per-
sons on the day of the show of the
excellency of these two fine jacks as
breeders. After this little multitude
OF people had talked over the various
political issues OF the day and many
jokes we're cracked on every side, the
show began. Messrs. Jake Maddox,
Jr., Ed. Boyd and J. w. Montague
were selected as judges. The colts
by Paymaster were first called out.
The first ring was for mare colts, and
it was very hard to tell just where
the ribbon would go, but finally the
judges, after much elaboration,
awarded the premium to j. w. Har-
rison. Next came the ring of horse
colts, and it seemed from the specu-
lation of the crowd in this ring,
that all deserved a premium, but
finally ]. w. Harrison again cap
tured the prize. In the ring for
the best horse and mare mule by
Bill Bass Joseph Crews was the
fortunate one to capture the prize
ON the best horse colt, and Thos.
Eagleton was delighted to know
from the award, that he had the
best mare colt. Crockett & Bro.
also gave a premium of SIS for the
smallest mule by either of their jacks,
| and even in this ring, We did not see
! one but what would be termed an
average colt, taking the county over
Henry johnson was the one to win
this check. There was on this oc.
casion about 80 or 80 colts present,
all dandies-good size, style, action.
smooth, rangy fellows. This was
perhaps one of the most successful
shows ever given in this part of the
county.
SALES.
Temple Wayne bought several
colts on this occasion, one from Tom
Burns, two from Joseph Crews, one
from Uncle Dick Throgmorton, and
one from George Throgmorton, at
from $55 to $3.50 per head.
T. M. Russell also bought two
colts from Edgar Threlkeld, paying
$3.50 apiece. PuELLA.
