Nebraska Farmers Object to
Indian Labor.


New ORLEANS, June l0.-The bribery
cases of U'Malley and McCrystal were
called this morning and MeCrystal was
placed IN trial first. A jury was soon
obtained and Tales Juror McCabe told
how McCrystal called on him and told
him he could make some money in the
case. Witness was not called as a tales
juror on that day. In the evening Nc
Crystal saw him again and told McCabe
he could make $500 by going on the jury
and working for a mistrial or acquittal of
the defendants. If he (McCTystal) had
the subpoena as a tales Juror it would be
worth 81 900 to him. McCabe refused
the offer. The district attorney wanted to
introduce as evidence the confession made
by McCrystal while in jail, but Judge
Baker refused. The case was given to
the jury at 4 O'Clock and a verdict OF guilty
was soon returned.
The ruling OF Judge Baker, refusing to
admit the confession of McCrystal. saves

was a general denial. After being out
several hours, the jury failed to agree aud

NEW YORK, June lO.-Hon. j.. NJ.
Rusk. secretary of agriculture, arrived
from Washington Sunday night and spent
most of yesterday in the city, returning to
the capital last night. Secretary Rusk
heard recently that there were several
concerns in New York engaged in buying
up p~layed-out horses and, after fattcnIng
them up a bit, slaugh.ering them and
shipping the meat to Europe, where it
was sold as beef.
II do not know how true this is" said
he. II have just started in to have the
matter investigated and have put two
special agents on the case. France is the
only country that affords a market for
horsefesh. But if horseflesh is being
shipped to other European countries and
sold as beef, it would probably have the
effect of I%njuring the sale OF our beet in
European markets. II such a thing is
being done, it is for the agricultural
department to discover and put a stop to
it. The department has com

Sexton, one Of the secretaries of the Gin

WASHINGTON, June 10 Commas
sioner Morgan of the Indian bureau has
received a second letter from Superintend
ent Backus of the Genoa, Neb., indus.
trial school for Indian children, explain-
ing more fully the situation in that sec.
ton as to the employment of Indian
children in the beet fields. Backus, owing
to the opposition OF the working people
about Norfolk, advises against putting
the boys out to work, and says: We
have three political parties in this state
at the present time, about 10000 in each
party. One party Is composed of the
Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor
combined, the other Two are Republicans
and Democrats. | feel sure that if we al
low our boys to work in the beet fields the
Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor
organizations will unite as a party in con-
demning our action.
Commissioner Morgan, in reply, briefly
reviews the history Of the Indians as a
race IN this country, calling attention to
the fact that they are struggling with
many discouraging obstacles in their
efforts to secure for themselves a liveli-
hood, and also explains the policy of the
government The commissioner explains
that the outing system" has been OF
great benefit to the Indian boys and girls,
and he greatly deprecateS the action of
some of the laboring people of Nebraska
in opposing the scheme. He suggests
that il tho superintendent finds that bis
efforts to secure proper employment
for the pupils Of his school at reasonable
wages are to be resisted by political
parties or other organized bodies of
the citizens of Nebraska. that he
report the case fully in order hat the
matter may be laid before congress at the
next session. The commissioner further
asks that if, in the Judgment of the super
intendent, the people OF Nebraska are SO
hostile to the school in its endeavor to
make intelligent, independent citizens of
its Indian pupils, whether it would not be
best to stop all projected improvements
with a view OF closing the school and
abandoning the enterprise. The money,
he says. can be expended to advantage In
states where the citizens are only too glad
to have these institutions of learning.

NEW YoRK, June lO.-Michael
Minahan, one of the oldest engineers on
the Central New jersey road, was the
victim of a joke on Saturday night which
shattered his nerves so badly that his hair
turned white. Minahan was at the throttle
OF a royal blue" flyer and going at the
rate OF a mile a minute when beyond
Bound Brook two red lights were flashed
before him on the track. just as he was
rounding a curve. The signals were less
than one hundred yards away and
Minahan turned on the air brakes and was
prepared to leap from the engine to
escape the death he anticipated. As the
engine sped by the lights Minahan heard
a hooking laugh and discerncd in the dim
light of the lanterns two bicyclists who
mounted their wheels and rode away.
The horrible joke COMPLETELY Frustrated
the engineer. Detectives are searching
for the bicYslsts for violation of a state
law in signalling a tram without cause.
