OwenhY Win Bring Snit.

CHICAGO, Feb. 81. A. Owenby, the
silver pool witness, returned from Wash
ington to-day. He threatens to bring suit
against the sergeant-at- of the House
and others, whom he holds responsible for
his arrest while there. In an interview he
said he had great quantity of evidence
that he was not permitted 10 give which
would have shown that he and Donald, the
New York bank cashier, had an explicit
understanding. Owenby declares that a
member of Congress from Nebraska, whose
name he gave, offered MIN s., 500 not to
testify as to the facts known TO him in re-
gard to the silver pool.
Owenby charges that several of the
congressional committee made every effort
to render his testimony las farcical as
their investigation. He exhibited num-
Der of kilograms and letters signed "Don-
ald' which he said were from the cashier
of the Hanover National bank. They We're
worded in a very guarded manner, and
their meaning was not apparent Oweuby
| said he had cipher for use in commitment
| ing with Donald. He said in due time he
would give the names of other Congress
men besides Senator Cameron and Repre-
| sentative Ketchum who he says, were i'm
plicated in the pool.

Commissioner Morgan Wants to
Hear of Future Plans.
The Red Men Tell What They Want-They Dc
Not Want Military Agents-MOre
Schools Asked for.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The conference
with the Indians was resumed to-day.
Commissioner Morgan said he had heard
enough of the past and wanted plans for the
future. He was prepared to issue the
100000 worth of beef to the Indians en-
titled to receive it which was cut off the
past season.
Senator Dawes said if the Indians did
their part and were Industrious the govern
ment would do Its part and help them to be-
come self-supporting.
White Ghost spoke of the encroachment
of the whites upon the Indians lands. The
rations of coffee, he said, amounted to about
one hundred grains per week to each per
son, and complained of the smallness Of the
bacon rations. He said the delegation had
reached unanimous decision that they did
not want military agents.
Big Man, of the Lower Brute sgency,
said the whites prevented the Indians from
getting fuel and hay. He wanted the
agency moved nearer; they needed better
school facilities. He complained of the
small size of the beef cattle given them
| Little-N -Hearn spoke in the same vein.
Commissioner Morgan asked such of the
Indians as preferred civil agents to stand
up. All did so except Mayor Swords, chief
of the Indian police at Pine Ridge, who
preferred military agents.
Mad Bear from Standing Rock, said his
people insisted on more reservation schools

CANADIAN POLITICS.
Sir John MacdOnald's Address to
the Electors.
HIS OPPOSITION TO RECIPROCITY
He Says it Means Eventual Annexation-The
New Italian Cabinet-A Pro-Jewish Petit
ton to the Gar Returned.

TORONTO, Ont, Feb 9.-Sr John Mao
electors of Canada, in which he says: "As
in 1882 and again i'll 1887, so in 1891 do ques-
tons relating to the trade and commerce of
the country occupy the foremost place in the
public mind. Our policy in respect thereto
is to-day what it has been for the past thir-
teen years, and directed by a firm deter
mination to foster and develop the re-
sources OF the Dominion By every means in
our power, consistent with Canada's posi-
ton as an integral portion of the British
empire. To that end we have labored in
the past and we propose to continue in the
work to which we have applied ourselves of
building up on this continent under the
British flag, grand and great and power
full nation"
Dealing with the policy of the opposition,
he says unrestricted reciprocity would in his
opinion, inevitably result in the annexation
OF the Dominion to the United States al
| though its advocates in Canada deny such
to be the case. Sir John continues: ''To
the defendants of the pioneers who settled
the country, the multitude of Engiishmen,
lrlshmen and Scotchmen who emigrated to
Canada that they might build up new homes
without ceasing to be British subjects, 1
appeal and ask you what have you TO gain
by surrendering that which your fathers
held most dear. Under the broad folds of the
union jack, we enjoy the most ample
liberty to govern ourselves as we please
and aG the same time we participate in the
advantages which flow from association
with the mlgbtlest empire the world has
ever seen. The great question which you
will partly be called upon to determine re-
solves itself into this: Shall we endanger
our possession of the great heritage be
queaJhed to US by our fathers and submit
ourselves to direct taxation for the benefit
Of having our tariff fixed at Washington,
with the prospect of becoming portion oil
the American union! l commend these
J issues to your determination and to the
, Judgment of the whole people of Canads
with entire confidence that you will pro-
claim to the world your resolve to show
yourselves not unworthy of the proud dis
tinction you enjoy of being numbered
among the most dutiful and loyal subjects
of our beloved Queen"

A NEW MIND-READER
Little Eva Mccoy Performs Some
Wonderful Feats
Never Attempted by Bishop Brown or Any Of
the Great Mind Readers-Hermann,
the Magician, Brought Her Out.

Especial to THE acknowledgements Dispatch
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Hermann, the ma
gician, introduced to large party of news
paper men and others at his theatre yester-
day, Eva Mccoy, twelve year-old Detroit
girl. The child gave wonderful exhibit
ton of her mind reading powers.
The first test made was that one member
of the committee should select in his mind
name Eva was blindfolded, and then
taking that man by the hand picked out
from number of letters made of zinc and
placed ON the table the name Lucille"
| the name the committeeman had selected.
The second experiment was with mans
watch. The owner had scratched with a
pin on the inside of the case his name. No
person in the audience, except the owner,
know it. Eva was blindfolded. Ths man
was asked to set his mind upon name and
| think of the first letter. He did so, and
after few seconds Eva demonstrated her
ability and spelled with the zinc letters on
the table the name E. G. Center.
The little girl was asked to tell the name
of coin in the possession OF one of the au-
dience. The man was on the stage. Only
ole person besides the posssssor knew
what the coin was. Eva was blindfolded,
and going to the table spelled out with the
zinc letters the word ''farthing" 1t was
an English ferthing the man had in his
pocket
The amount Of money man had in his
pocket was also quickly told. A safe com
bination, known only to the owner of the
safe, was given up to the last figure, but as
the figure representing the number was
not among those on the table the little
mind reader was not able to point it out.
The failure, however, was regarded as a
strong evidence of her ability to make a
complete answer had the missing figure
been there.
Among the audience was M. Darmont of
the Porte ST. Martin theatre of Paris He
volunteered to think of piece OF music. T he
child was again blindfolded and she, taking
hold of the composers hand, struck the
keys of piano and produced the air run
ming through the brain of M. Darmont.
Then Eva did other intricate tests.
The exhibition as whole was one of the
most extraordinary in the way of mind
reading ever made in this city. Men who
had seen Bishop, Brown and others of the
great mind. readers, said some of the
things done by this modest, unassuming
little girl were superior to any thing they
ever ATTEMPTED

Entomhed Miners Rescued.

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 9.-1ntense JOY
prevails at the Grand tunnel over the res
cue this morning Of three of the entombed
miners imprisoned IN the Susquehanna coal
coiliery last Wednesday by water The
party was found in an almost exhausted
condition from their lis hours imprison-
ment, and it will require care to bring
them through.
When the accident occurred some thought
the men might have gotten out the reach OF
the water, although the idea was doubted
by majority. The rescuing party has
been steadily at work ever since however,
determined to learn the fate of the men. AT
an early hour this morning they heard a
faint cry, and soon could talk to the i'm
prisoned men who said 1--WE are all alive,
but for Gods sake, hurry" In few
minutes more the rescu 9rs made a raft
and pushed their way to the little chamber
at the head of the cross heading, where
the men were lyspg in a cramped position,
with the water almost up to them. They
were quickly taken out into the open air,
where dozens of their comrades Rugged
them and welcomed them as if the dead
had co ne to life. Nourshment was given
them and in few days they will be all
right. They did not suffer much from
hunger, their greatest misery being thirst
and the cramped position in which they
were forced to remain.

omahn,s Warning Live Stock Men

OMAHA, Feb. 9.-TSpecial telegram to
The HERALD. The trouble long threat
enened among western live stock commits
sion dealers broke out today by the Amer
can Live Stock commission company filing
an injunction to restrain the South Omaha
Live Stock exchange from interfering with
their business. The exchange suspended
the American commission people from the
local market, assertaining that they
charged only 80 cents for handling head
of stock, when the regular rate was 80
cents. The American company was organ
ized under the Illinois law and has Offices
at all the stock centers west of Chicago,
Including that city. The fight involves
western stock interests throughout with
dealers in Nebraska and the Dakotas,
about evenly divided. The best legal tai
ent has been employed on both sides. A
stubborn fight as assured. The question
virtually determines the ability of the
South Omaha exchange to control the price
of commissions in this locality.

silver BiIl and Force Sin Riders

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9,-Dingley offered
for reference in the House resolution as
an amendment to Townsend's resolution,
designed to bring the silver bill before the
House. Dingiey's amendment makes it in
order to offer as an amendment to any APP
preparation bill the substance of any bill
that has passed the House and been before
the Senate for six months without results.
The obvious purpose of the amendment is
to embarrass the silver men by loading
down their original proposition with an
amendment looking to the attachment of
the election bill to the appropriation bill as
a rider.
