Mobilization of the Nationrl Guard is
Recommended.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-General Miles
in HI annual report recommended that
the National Guard of the country be
mobiized or assembled at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition In 1898, aud that
congress be requested to make an appro
priation to pay the cost of the transpor
tatiop.
General Miles reviews at length the
Indian outbreak of last winter, attribu
ting it largely, as he did at the time, to
the failure of the crops and failure of the
government to properly perform Its obli
cations in regard to rations, etc. OF the
Messiah craze he says the fanaticism and
superstition of the people were taken ad
vantage of by the traders to encourage
them to hostiitities. He commends the
administration of Captain Penny, as act
ing agent OF Pine Ridge, and says that
through additional appropriations the
Indians now receive nearly half as much
more than they did year ago. How
ever, the fires of dIscord still remain.
The commanders have discovered COM
munications going on between the differ
ent camps, melting the Indians to hostiI-
itles, and even now (September y del
egation from the Indian territory is
absent, ostensibly to visit friends in Wy
omiDg. They have. in fact, gone across
the mountains and are now in the abodes
of the supporters of the Messiah delusion,
near Pyramid lake, in Nevada Even
while the hostages we're held at Fort
Sheridan last spring, they received a
communication from friends in the Sioux
camp, saying they had not given up the
idea of grand Indian uprising, and that
the Utes were ready to join the Sioux
whenever the latter desired to resume
hostilities.

More Ceded Lands.

DENVER, Oct. 16.-The Associated
Press correspondent who accompanied
the commission to negotiate with the Sho-
shone and the Arapahoe Indians of Wy
oming for cession oil part of the Wind
river reservation, telegraphs that the COM
mission has effected an agreement with
the Indians, under which they cede to the
United States about 100000 acres out
of total of 100000 acres. The In
dians receive $6,000,000. or about 55
cents per acre. The lands ceded include
practically all the lands north of the
Wind river and the strip on the eastern
part of the reservation. The country is
well watered The bottom lands are rich
and there are about 100000 acres of
bench land, which the irrigation COM
panies can make good agricultural land
at reasonable cost. The whole of the res
ervation is fine sheep and cattle land.
Coal and oil are found on the ceded lands,
and there are indications of more valu-
able minerals. The country is $50 miles
from railroad communication.

Santanoad to be Hangad.

ASprague special says: The excitement
caused by the arrest of Wayman Sutton,
alias R. }. Howard. by Sheriff Fish last
evening, has by no means abated in this
city. Howard acknowledges that he is the
man and that he was sentenced to be
hanged in Wythe county, Virginia, in
1888, for the murder of a man of that
county who was regarded as a hard chsrac-
ter, but that he did not do the killing and
that he was convicted upon circumstantial
evidence. The citizens of Wytheville re-
leased him because the verdict of the jury
was inconsistent with the evidence, and that
he remained In the county two years after
his release.
He says that he does not object to going
back to Virginia, that he has friends there
who will never permit him to be hanged
because they know he is innocent.
This afternoon ex-City Marshal Coulee
circulated petition among the citizens of
Sprague, asking the governor of Virginia to
pardon Howard. The accused has been ad-
mitted to the Methodist church of this
city on probation and has been considered
by all who have formed his acquaintance as
a very exemplary young man. Officers
were expected to arrive in Sprague from
Wytheville Thursday to take Howard back
to the scene of his crime, where he was
sentenced to be hanged, but by the assist
ance of citizens was liberated from jail on
the 29th of November, 1888.

A Negro Uprising.

CLIFTON FORGE, Va, Oct. 1s-The
greatest excitement prevailed here all
day Sunday. growing out of the lynchlng
of three negroes on Sunday. Early in
the day crowds of armed negroes began
Assem- bling In the streets and making
threats of retaliation. So demonstrative
were the blocks for revenge that the sit
uation began to look serious, and Mayor
Bowels, fearing an uprising, telegraphed
TO governor Mckinney acquaintlng him
with the serious condition of affairs, and
asking that a body of soldiers be sent to
protect them. The white pobulltion, in
the meantime, began to organize for pro-
lection should the negroes attempt to
carry out their threats. Bodies OF men
were stationed at different points where
it was expected an attrck would De made,
and word was sent to outlying sections
for help. There are a large number of
negroes in the mine here, and the most
of them are of desperate character.
Should they attempt an attack on the
town a most bloody conflict would ensue.
The entire town is in arms and pickets at
every outskirt. A squad OF men are on
the way here from Ronceverte. w. Va. 1t
is expected their presence will oyerawe
the negroes. The services IN the church
es were all suspended last night, and peo-
pie thronged the streets as FIN expect
ancv of terrible conflict. Cooler heaGs,
however, believe the reports of the deter
of the negroes are exaggerated
and that no outbreak will occur. The
Monticello guards, it is said, will be sent
by the governor. and should trouble be
prevented until their arrival it is hoped
that the negroes will not dare to make
any movement. The greatest danger is
believed from fire. Should the blacks
decide upon an uprising, they would un-
1oubSedly apply the torch as tine speed
est and most satisfactory means of re-
7enge. Citizens have pre- pared them
elves for this emergency, and bodies of
men are patrolling the streets where it is
bought an attack against property would |
likely to be made. The negroes are
nassed in large numbers in the Crown
ection of the town. where many are un-
Ter the influence of liquor and are max
ng boisterous demonstrations.

never been noted for executive ability,
although a man of considerable original
force and of long parliamentary experience,
1t is remembered, however. that Mr..
Baltour himself sat in parliament for
years and held government office without
displaying any special ability, until his
appointment as Irish chief secretary
brought out his peculiar capacity for
what the Irish call Balfourism. Mr..
Rltchie is also Scotchman, being a
native of Dundee, where he was born in
1888. He has been for many years a res
ident OF London. He is at present
the most probable selection of those
mentioned for the Irish chief secretary
ship. W L. Jackson, who has also been
named, is financial secretary of the
treasury and has held that office in a
thoroughly business like way. 1t is not
thought probable that Lord Salisbury will
dispense with him in the treasury espec
tally as he represents the rather doubtful
constituency of North Leeds, Sir John
Corset has also been named for the Irish
office.

Poland's Tribnte to parnelI.

DUBLIN, Oct. 17.-Delegate Sieminsky
arrived to day from Warsaw, bringing
with him handsome wreath to be placed
on the grave of Parnell. Sieminsky says
it was intended he should be present as a
representative of the natlonalists of Po
land at the funeral of the Irish leader, but
the Russian government did not allow
the date of the funeral to be published in
the Poland newspapers. The wreath is
composed of laurel leaves entwined with
the Polish colors and with broad silk
bands, bearing an inscription expressive
of sympathy with the deceased and the
cause for which he fought. The Poles
were compelled to smuggle it across the
frontier,

Mrs Allen G.. Thurman s.ead.

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 17.-Mrs Allen G
Thurman died late this afternoon. Her
condition changed for the worse last
night. During most of the week she has
been in an unconscious state. She was a
victim of la grippe during the winter and
never recovered from the attack. Her
advanced age prevented her from regain
ing her strength. Judge Thurman is
much enfeebled and it is feared by his
friends he will not long survive his wife.
Mrs. Thurman was born in Chillicothe
in 1911. Her maiden name was Mary
Dun. While she was a child her father
moYed to Lexington, KY. There she
married Mr.. Tompkins. He died in a
few years. She was married to Judge
Thurman in November, 1914, and has
been his constant companion and help
mate during his long professional and
public career.

After the Gamblers

CHEHAL1s, Oct. 1.-THE grand jury
which was discharged to-day has, it is
said, indicated thirteen gamblers of Che
halls and Centralia. For several months
past the places have been running wide
open and the better element of citizens
are determined to suppress 1t. The pros
ecution will be vigorous one. In the
final report of the grand jury it was de-
clared that the provisions made for the
county records and criminals were inade-
quate and insecure and recommended
that the commissioners provide better ac-
commodations. This means that a new
courthouse and jail will be built within
the next year. The present buildings are
Insignificant wood structures. Judge
Hunter says he will no. hold another
term OF court in the old courthouse.
