The Reasons for Starting the Now Stock
Yards i'll Indiana.
CARLSBAD, June lip. ID. Armour, of
Chicago, who is here with his invalid wife,
said to-day that he had just received a long
dispatch from Chicago stating that ground
had been broken at Iolleston, Ind, for the
new stock yards. He said they proposed to
establish packing houses there. They will
not be SO cramped for room as at the old
yards, which. he says, are altogether out of
place in such close proximity to the best
part of Chicago. They propose to issu g
$1O,Ooo,0OO of stock which they will divide
among packers and dealers who folio W
them. An Asssociated press correspondent +
asked if other packers will follow and desert
the old yards. "They cannot help themselves
Mr.. Armour said: "We three (Armonr,
Morris and Swift practically control the
business. The others must follow. Be-
sides. it is to their own advantage. The
old yard charges are now so high that it
scarcely pays to do business there. We
shall give accommodations at more moder-
nte prices. You see the old yards, which
originally cost about S1,000,000 were sold
several months ago to an English syndicate
for $25, 100000. The investors want to get
high charges are necessary
But what will become of all these mil
lions when you and all these great houses
move away?" said the correspondent.
II am not worrying about the English in
vestors," said Mr.. Armour. II feel sorry
for them, but must look after my own in
teres.s and the interests of the community
first
Mr.. Armour said there arc also sanitary
reasons why tho change shoud be made. In
the new quarters they shall have tho most
perfect arrangements for the proper exami-
nation and packing of pork and he thinks
rs soon nx Germany is convinced OF proper
examination, etc, it will allow the importa-
tlon of American pork.

REPUBLICAN SALVATION.
Frank Hatton Not Sure How It Is to
Be Worked Out in
Iowa.
The State Convention to Be Hold
July / Will Determine
the Outcome.
COcksure Confidence That Iowa Is q Safe
Republican State Is n Gifted,
Capacious Hoodoo.

WASHINGTON. June l.--Frank Hatton,
ex-postmaster general, formerly chairman
of the Iowa state republican committee,
now editor of the Washington Post, printed
a lending editorial under the caption, IRE
publican Salvation in Iowa." as follows:
"The two pivotal states of the coming cam
paign are Ohio and Iowa. Both have been
republican states heretofore. Both have
now democratic governors. Both have now
to deal for the first time with the uncertain
quantity of the alliance party. OF the two
campaigns, that in Iowa is by far more i'm
portant, indicating, as it will. the temper
of the great northwest--a section that has
heretofore been the sheet anchor of the re-
publican party. The situation in the Hawk
eye state is peculiar, complicated, and in
teresting. The bitter feeling against the
prohibition farce, which elected Boies is
this year increased and intensified; the ALI
ance movement is menacing, while prohi-
bition extremists threaten to desert the re-
publioans if the slightest concession is
made to the local option element. although
the latter is really in numerical majority
in the party.
"Serious as is the situation the repub-
licans, or at least the progressive elements
of the party, are maneuvering with shrewd-
ness and foresight. They will nominate a
farmer for governor, and by a wise and
liberal platform nllny discomfort and keep
the alliance vote to the minimum. The
only meaning of the alliance movement, SO
far as political results are concerned, is to
cripple the republican. party and make
democratic success possible. If the farm
ers are fairly dealt with, the republicans of
the alliance will not assist in the organiza-
ton of democratio side show.
''rhe prohibition question is not so easily
dealt with, but the dilemma is as clear as
sunlight. The party has on that question
gone to the utmost extreme, and it js now
on that Issue in a hopeless minority. 1t can
gain only by relaxing tension, by making
liberal platform broad enough to include
every republican, whether prohibitionist or
not. BY SO doing. and by relegating the
prohibition question to several legislative
districts, there to be decided according to
the will of each individual district, the re-
publicans may enter the battle with excel
lent prospects of success.
1.-THE republican convention at Cedar
Rapids, July /, will, in almost an entire
measure, predict and determine the outcome.
Some of the older party leaders have not
yet lost cocksure confidence that Iowa is
safely republican state. despite democracy
and the devil, and it is this gifted, infuen-
tial and capacious hoodoo that the republi-
cans of the Hawkeye state have most to
fear'

LONDON, June IA lengthy circular
note addressed to the European powers by
the Chillian provisional government, repre-
senting the insurgent party of Chilli, is
published in England and on the continent
to-day. In the note the powers are appealed
to by the insurgents to be recognized as
belligerents. The iuntas note is signed by
the congressional party's agents. senors
Matte and Ross. 1t speaks of the recent
lawless acts upon the part Of 'the
dictator" Balmaceda, and claims for
the provisional government bellig-
erent rights on the ground that it
is an organization sufficiently regular and
responsible to Chllians and to foreigners,
and able to make itself respected by force
of arms. The note maintains that the
junta has been invested with regular con
sttntional authority by the congress elect
ed in Maroh, 1888. The note continues by
stating that the congressional party has nm
disputed jurisdiction over four of the rich
est provinces of Chill, comprising. it is
added. over half the populated territory of
the republic. The congressional party also
claims that 1t il growing in military power
and that its naval supremacy Is indisput-
able, enabling it to maintain
aoverelgnlty over its TERRITORY and
to threaten provinces still under "Director''
Balmaceda. In view of these facts, the
provincial government says it is called
upon to maintain International, congress-
ional and other relations and therefore
claims that 1T is etitled, better than the
Jalmaceda government. to be considered II

that the probabilities of tho future rest with

GRAZING DISTRICTS.
New Method Adopted to Prevent Friction
and Increase Rentals,

New Method Adopted to Prevent Friction
and Increase Rentals.
WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE interior de-
partment, acting upon the recommenda-
tions of the Indian office, has adopted Il
new departure in the management of graz
ing matters on the Grow Indian reserva-
tion in Montana. The Grow Indians are
authorized by the act of congress of April
l. 1882, to permit cattle grazing upon their
reservation, but under previous arrange
ments much friction between cattlemen re-
suited, from indscriminate patronage, por-
tions of the reservation set apart for graz
ing proving fruitful source of trouble
and annoyance not only to the agency
management, but to the department.
of Indian affairs. To obviate these difficult
ties in the future and give the Indians the
benefit of the advantages resulting from
competition between various cattlemen for
these grazing privileges the total unoccu-
pied portion of the reservation has been
divided into five grazing districts, and pro-
posals for grazing the same invited by ad-
vertisement.
1t is believed the new arrangement will
relieve the department of much annoyance
and trouble and be decidedly better for the
Indians and better for the cattle men. 1t
brings the management of the whole bust
ness under the direct control of the
department, and by the terms of agreement
executed with cattle men cattle can be re-
moved from the reservation ut any time by
the department for any violation of tho
stpulatiohs in the same. The Indians are
to be at all times kept secure from interfer-
enoe by stock company employees and cattle
men, and the grazing ranges occupied by
cattle are to be kent undisturbed Tne pc
cuniary advantage of the Indians is also
considerable, as thev receive about 5000
more under this new arrangement than un-
der tho old system, notwithstanding the
fnot that the title to an area of about l.S0O,-
600 acres upon tho western portion of the
reservation have been relinquished to the
government.

broker, and Ferdinand Oppcnheimer,
merchant doing business on the opposite
side or Main street. Each charged the
other with assault. Ruben was tried frat.
lie acted as his own lawyer and succeeded
In making very good defense. His do

the same at the most unseemly hours of
the morning. Not satisfied with that the

Ruben got up, dressed and went outside
and femedied the trouble. Ruben further
alleged that at an early hour Yesterday
morning he waa called out of bed by a
for loan. Some one tied rope to the
railing and the door knob to prevent OPEN
ing tho door. When Acting County Attor-
ney Carter asked Ruben how he knew that
Oppenheimer inspired these annoyances.
Ruben replied Logic and common sense
tells me-" Ho further alleged that when he
finally had TO get up and unscrew the bell

the opposite side of the street. These an

On getting up yesterday morning Ruben ut

stopped. Oppenheimer ordered Ruben out
of the place. Ruben did not go and
the two came to blows. On that
point there was very little conflict Of tcsti-
mony. The conflict occurred between the
testimony Of the two combatants as to who
got licked. Ruben calmly assured the court
that II licked him them Oppenheimer,

merchants showed any scars. Ruben had

The Course Of the Russian Govern

Despite Her Immense Resources

to Bankruptcy.
An Interview With p. ID. Armour at Carls-
bad-Tho Chllian Insurgsnt Party
Other Foreign News.

BERLIN, June 1.-THE Berlin Associated
press correspondent to-day had a conver-
sation with Herr Goldbereer, the WE'LL
known Jewish financier, who was recently
expelled from Russia. lie went from this
city in the interest of the banking house
with which he is connected, having been
furnished with u special consular pass by
the Russian consul general here. At St.
Petersburg M. Vicshnieradesky. Russian
minister of finance, and other persons of
high standing showed the Berlin banker
special attention, but this did not prevent
the police of st. Petersburg from inscribing
upon his pass, "The jew, Go!dberger, is
here on toleration and under police super
vision" Herr Goldberger does not under
stand Russian and thought it was some reg
ular police annexation. He learned differ
emily when he reached Moscow. The
"pristaw" called upon him and told
him he must leave at once. The
hotel manager told him few lubles would
fix it all right, but Goldberger declined to
pay blackmail and left at once. He did
not care to establish a bank in a country
where each policeman had the power of
levying blaokmail. Herr Goldberger de-
seribed the awful scenes of expulsion which
he had witnessed at Moscow during his two
days stay. Social standing, high position
he said, were Of no avail. None of the ao-
counts SO far pnblshed tells the whole
story Of the misery and persecution is SIM
pie indescribable. Contrary to the accepted
version GoldberGer SAYS the ozar ia we'll
aware OF cruelties practiced; that he has
always been a radical anti-Semte and that
his hatred of Jews has increased since the
memorable railway accident which hap
pened upon limo built by
the Jew, Won Polieskoff. Goldberger thinks
Russia will only suffer from commercial
disasters sure to follow the expulsion of
Jews, disasters which Russia with her great
resources might meet with impunlty but
that thes emeasures have bvought about
feeling Of insecurity among Russian pro-
testants and among numerous foreigners
residing in Russia to whose enterprise most
of the commercial undertakings owe their
existencs. Nobody knows whose turn is to
come next and no one cares to risk his
money or work under the present state of
barbaric rage against everything foreign or
non-orthodox, and the consequence will be
that Russia, with all her immense agricul-
tural and mineral resources, will sooner or
later be forced into a condition of absou to
bankruptcy.

OMAHA, Juno 11.--[SpeciaI. The cole
brated chBe OF tho Rock Island w. the I'm
ion Pacific for using tho Omaha bridge
WAS. for tho plaintiff, opened by Judge
Withrow, who made n lengthy statement OF
the facts, going over the details Of tho con-
tract entered into between the Rock Island
and Union Pacific and strongly intimating
That while the Missouri Pacific WAS not
directly interested in the case on trial, it
would be shown before the case was finished
that the Missouri Pacific WAS largely, but
indirectly. interested. Then he recited the
facts relating to the efforts of the Rock
Island and Milwaukee roads to secure char
ter for u bridge across the Missouri. He
stated at length tho efforts on the part of
the Union Pacific to block the move of the
Rock Island and tho Milwaukee. The for
nation of tho contract was gone over Mt
length and Judge Withrow asserted that
the cause Of Sidney Dillon, the gray-haired
railroad official, and his assistants had been
overreached by their sharper competitions,
and they now appealed to court OF equity
to declare that the contract WAS not legal.
The contract WAS drafted in Judge Wi
throws room at the Millard hotel. in this
city and was Transcribed by Judge
Thutton's stenogrnpher. This draft was
in accordance with an agreement
made between the officials of the Union
Pacific and the Rock Island and Milwaukee
roads at meeting held in Now York. a
meeting was held in the directors room at
The Union Pacific headquarters about the
middle of April 1880. There was present
Vice President Holcomb, Chief of Con-
struction Cameron, General Solicitor
Thurston, Assistant General Solicitor Kel-
ly for the Union Pacific, President Gable
and General Counsel Withrow and M. A.
Low for the Rock Island, and President
Miller and John NJ. Fish, general solicitor,
for the Milwaukee. The contract was gone
over IN detail and copies compared by these
gentlemen. 1t was copied again and
agreed to the next day by all
parties, after which it was forwarded to
Boston. Vice-President Holcomb followed
the contract and was present at tho meet
ing of the executive committee of directors
on April 90, 1890. The contract was ap-
proved by the executive committee. On
April 30 it was submitted to the annual
meeting of the stockholders, at which over
two-t thirds of the stock was repre- sented.
The contract WAS unanimously ratified by
the stockholders. The disclosures made in
the address caused great sensation. Rail
road magnates from all over the country

recent speech on 3, as. The chan
celor opposed this i i, declaring that
inquiries had been In pl0gress since April
but he added, they were confined to official
quarters in order TO avoid creating excite
ment. The government, he continued, WAS
convinced that there WAS no distress exist
ing from tho duties now levied on grain,
but in consequence of tho agitation which
had been aroused in regards to this matter,
the government had since consulted num-
ber OF private parties and naturally could
not submit these returns to the house, and
he (the chancellor) was not in position TO
mention the names of persons who
had been consulted. Herr Rickert
made most sensational speech,
during which he said it would be
found necessary to recall the man who
alone was able to direct tho government"
He klckert charged the government with
sndeavoring to 'silenco those mon who
were defending the interests of tho mil
lions against the minority
The same speaker also said he discredited
the government report about grain. The
available stocks. he said, is small. and
prices would advance. Potatoes, he con-
tinued, had already replaced bread as the
food of the people and they (potatoes)
were also placed at an exorbitant price.
His party would not rest until the duties on
grain we're abolished.
Baron E,fa- Weinberg insisted that the
agriculturists could notssdispense with tho
duties. He denied that distress existed at
all and called upon the freissinnige party
to cease Its demagogical proceedings"
