Work of the Postal Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Several letters
have been received BY Postmaster General
Wanamaker from Messrs' Brooks and
Potter, delegates from the United States
to the fourth international postal congress
at Vienna. That body completed its labors
on the 25th of June. It's results, perha ps
the most important of which is the
admission OF the Australian colonies to the
union, take effect July /, 1892. The only
civilized countries now remaining outside
the union are Cape Colony and the South
African republics. which will probably
come 10 at the next congress, making the
postal union universal in fact as we'll
as name. Other interesting changes
noted are the proposed issue OF postal
cards with a paid reply for international
service, reduction of registry to forty
confines Is cents and an increase in the
maximum size of packages from Sx4x2
inches to l2xSx5, indemnity Sor lost
registered articles and an international

SAN Francisco, July 22.-The suit of
George Taylor against tw%enty-four state
senators to recover $4,000, alleged to be
due for lobby work, was continued today.
Taylor. on the stand, told how he made
a deal with a combine for whom Richard
Chute acted as financial agent, collecting
money from corporations. He related a
number of alleged conversations with
Senator Williams, saying the latter had
told him that he received money from
Chute for himself and other senators Tor
their action on certain measures in sums
ranging from $500 to 81, 900. Burns adj
mitted that the combine owed witness and
gave him $3.50, and the other members of
the combine were to give him $3.50 each,
but have failed to do so.
Vice President Crocker of the Southern
Pacific railway said he had never been
approached by the agent of the combine
and to his knowledge no money had been
paid.

Gov. buchanan. Uruma,um.

KNOXVILLE. July 22.-Gov. Buchanan
today held lengthy consultations with the
militia officers aud miners committee.
Finally this evening he announced that
he had decided to call an extra session of
the legislature and had issued a call for
an election to fill the vacancies. In the
call for a special session he will embody
the recommendation that the convict
lease system be modified, if not repealed.
Pending the election the couvicts must
return to the Briceville mines, from
which they were evicted. If the miners
agree not to modest them until the legisla-
ture acts the militia will be sent home.
The committee from the miners decided
TO Law the matter before a mass meeting
OF the men tomorrow before replying to
the governor. Those best acquainted
with the people believe the
miners will accept the proposition. If
they do not the c~onvicts will return to
Coal creek accompanied by the militia. If
the state troops cannot furnish adequate
protection, the United States will be
asked to send regulars. The reports
about riots today at Briceville are without
foundation.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia July 22.-The
Kimball Champ Investment company of
this city, with a capital stock of $500, 900,
assigned today for the benefit of creditors.
Messrs. Kimtall and Champ, heads of
the company, also did a general banking
business. Before the failure of the In
vestment company there was on deposit
in the bank about $50. 900 including
81, 100 of Pottawattamie county money.
The county treasurer drew out this
amount just before the assignment was
filed. Some other deposltors got out
their money also, but the larger part of
the deposits are now in the hands of the
assignee. The attorney FOR the assignee
says the causes of the assignment are
many. The chief among them was the
total failure of borrowers in Nebraska to
pay interest coupons, extreme dizziness OF
business, s%tringencv In the markets, poor
collections and the companY's inability to
bond the Grand hotel, which 1t had Just
butt at a cost OF $250,000. He says the
assets will amount to about S400, 900. He
thinks Kimball and Champ, as bankers,
have protected the bank fund and de-
p~ositors so there will be no losses here.
Eastern capitalists are largely interested
in the Investment company.

WHEELING, w. Va. July 22.-The
hteuioencer. tomorrow, will print a letter
from Bishop Kahn ofthis Catholic diocese,
in regard to Indian Commissioner Nor
gan's dispute with the Catholic Indian
bureau. He scores Morgan sharply, say
ing that since his induction into Office the

protestant minister. Rev. DIR. Dorches-
ter has also been bitter against the Catho-
lies. Bishop Kahn asserts that Morgan
has dealt most unjustly with Catholic In
dian schools. and, in closing, Gays: IF
the administration continues to sustain
the bigotry of Morgan and Dorchester, it
may regret Its course when the Catholic
votes are heard from in 1892" The In.
te~ligeucer says the suggestion in the clos
ing paragraph is rather significant.

The Attack on the Czarewitch.

COPENHAGEN, Tuly GA newspaper
in this city publishes what purports to be
the text OF a letter from Prince George of
Greece to his father, King George, giving
an account of the attack made upon the
czarewit5h in japan. He tells about their
visit at Kieto and how they started for
Otsic. In the afternoon, as they we're
going through a narrow street, Prince
George heard a shrek and say a police
man hitting the zarewitch on the head
with a sword. He continues:

PARIS, July 22.-The Associated Press
correspondent here has been making
inquiries of the Chambers ofCommerce in
France as to the present feeling concern
ing the Mckinley tariff and as to whether
this feeling will affect the French exhibit
at Chicago. The vice president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Aleiers said
that the chamber passed a resolution not
long ago declaring hat the new tariff law
tended to render very difficult. if pot i'm.
possible, all trade between France and the
United States.
The secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce of Refine said: For the present.
at least, the Mckinley bill is an obstacle
to the participation of our manufacturers
In the Chicago exhibition. But il within
a reasonable length of time a frieudller
spirit IS shown by the American Republic
for our productions, the chamber will then
be ready to second the ministers efforts"
The president OF the Chamber of Com
merce OF Roubaix writes that the Me-
kinley tariff has produced most up-
fortunate impressions, and it is feared
that the Chicago exhibition will not have
the reception here it would otherwise have
had.
Stetienne and Msrseilles write to the
same effect. The president of the
Bordeaux chamber says that considering
the unjust prohibition OF American salt
meats for years past, they are not
surprised at the retalIatory Mckinley bill.

troublesome Mexlcan indians.

CHICAGO, July 22.-Aceording to the
statements of two Young Mexicans now in
Chicago, there is a bloody war raging IN
the mountains of Mexico unknown to the
outside world. 1t has been supposed hat
with the death of the great leader
of the Yaqui Indians, Chief Cajemc,
the Indian wars in Mexico had
ceased. Such, according to the story told
this evening. is not the case. Thousands
of Yaquis are strongly iutrenched in the
mountains and the troops, which are
stationed at all towns along the Yaqui
river, are powerless to reach them or
protect the lives and property of the
citizens. In bands of fifty or more the
YaqIis descend on the towns and fierce
fighting with the troops follows. The
condition of affairs is said to be daily
gr1wing most alarming.

RIO GRANDE, Tex, July 22-The
destitution on both sides of the RIO
Grande for hundreds OF miles is appalling.
For three years a continuous drouth, ex-
cept in this starr county, where a
tolerable crop was raised this year. has
cansed many deaths from actual starva-
ton, and as starvation begets desperation,
the ranks of the professional murdcrers
and bandits will be swelled by those
driven there by hunger, In Brownsville
and Metamoros beggary was never
greater, nor means to relieve it less. 1t
Is too late for a tall crop, and the prospect
is dismal, indeed. In Hidalgo county
cattle are daily dying from want of grass
and water. In Cameron and in Starr
they are fast reaching that condition.
Last year a petition went up to Governor
Ross from a border county showing the
terrible want of its people. No reply was
given. In this county in a few weeks
past over 100 horses have been stolen
from the Aqua Nueva tract, aud many
others in different parts of this county.
The robbery Of j. Il. HYnes' store within
a week past, a short distance above
Brownsville, is looked on by old timers
here as the prelude to many of like
nature. Exposed as he has been to the
robbers on the Islands opposite his place,
and in Mexico. it is a wonder the bandits
have not murdered hun, as they have no
less than six men at the same point in
years gone by.

emily with no thought of any impending
conflict. Fitzsimmons was also resting.
Parson Dawes, Halls hacker and trainer,
