Two CENsusES.

From the New York World.
The tenth sensus gave the country
q body of statistics cf the utmost
value, because it was made with an
honest purpose to get and report
facts.
The statistics of the eleventh CEN
sus have very little value, and in IA
large part are even worse than
worthless, because they are false
and misleading.
The superintendent Of the tenth
census was chosen for his capacity
and fitness, in order that the work
placed in his hands might be well
done.
Z The superintendent ofthe eleventh
census is renegade Englshman.
whbse lncapacity was wcll known
when he was appointed. de was
chosen because Of his known pro-
pensit TO juggle with the figures IN
the interest OF monopclistic protec-
tlonism, his intense partlsanshlp and
his thick skinned indifference TO
public opinion. He and his work
are the legitimate fruit Of this I'D
ministration's purpose to retain
power for itself 1T all hazard.

A Mexican Requisition for PIucky Mrs
McCabe Refused.
AUSTIN, Texas, March 22.-Mrs. Inez Nc
Cabe shot and killed Judge Max Stein, il
Piedras Negras, Mexico, some months ago
She was arrested by the Mexican authori.
ties, tried, convicted and sent to prison il
Matamoras, preparatory to being for
warded to the penitentiary. With a small
pocket knife she managed to cut through
her cell door and escaped. In springine
from the prison wall she broke her ankle,
but managed to cross the Rio Grande where
she secured horse, and, though suffering
intensely, rode 1926 miles, finally reach
ing Corpus Christi. The Mexican
government demanded her surrender.
Extradit,on papers were issued and she waa
arrested. She sued out a writ of hateas
corpus, which has just resulted in her dis,
charge by Judge Maxey in the United
States court. The court held that the war
rant had not been sworn to, and that under
the treaty between the two countries
neither government was bound to deliver
it's own citizens to the other.
The decision was received with applause.
Mrs. McCabe is a Texan, twenty-five years
old, good looking and intelligent. She is
still very lame, and declared that she would
kill herself before she would return and un-
dergo the horrors of n Mexican prison.

VIM. Butts II Arrested for Obtain in
Money Epder False Pretansess i
ANACONDA, March Especial. 1.-THE
arrest of prizefghter because he did not
fight hard enough was the curious spectacle
witnessed here today. j, B. Strader, Ct this
city, and William Butts, who recently came
TO Montana from Michigan, met in 24-foot
ring at Anaconda Park this afternoon to
fight ten rounds with five ounce gloves for
$3.50 side, the winner, in addition, to
take all the gate receipts. About $50
sports paid 81 apiece to see the fun. The
affair had bean advertised as fight for
blood. In the third round Strader tapped
Butts on the head and Butts immediately
lay down, taking mighty good care to not to
lie down SO violently as to hurt himself.
He pretended to be insensble for TWENTY
five minutes. 1t was evident to everybody
that he was shamming, and the crowd
jeered and hooted and demanded their
money back Sheriff Quigley, of Deer
Lodge. who was present, ordered the arrest
of Butts for obtaining money under false
pretenses and swindling the public. Butts,
accordingly, is now in jail.

Mounted POliceman--(ireat Falls
Has an Electric Road.

ANACONDA, March 22.-[Special. George
b. Lingo and John Brush, both of this city !,
each about II years old, were run over and
instantly killed by Montana Union train
about six miles east of the city at 2:3O
O'Clock this afternoon. Engineer Condor.
who was in charge of the locomotive, says
the train WAS going at the usual rate of
speed. He did not see the boys until he
was almost upon them. Both had lain
down on the track at point
where it crossed bridge. Brush
was lying at full length in the very center
of the track. just after the engineer saw
Brush, he says Lingo started up from one
side of the track. Lingo seemed to realize
that danger was near but he was too dazed
to act All this the engineer saw in the
twinkllng of an eye. He was going down
hill and was too close to the boys to stop
the train. The side of the engine struck
Lingo in the back of the head, knock
ing him oS the track and kill
ing him instantly. Brush was forced
and dragged under the engine. his
body remaining there until the train could
be stopped, several hundred yards further
on. Brush's body was most horribly mutt
lated. Both bodies were afterwards brought
to this city. Lingo was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Lingo and was the Oldest of six
children. He has been employed at the
smelter up to few days ago, when he, with
many others, were laid off pending the shut
down. Last Thursday or Friday he
and Brush started for Butte pre-
sumably in quest of employment.
Their friends here received no word from
them since they started. The theory is that
they ran out of money in Butte started to
walk home, became fatigued, lay down to
rest on the bridge, which was high and
dry, and fell asleep before they knew it.
Brush has brother here, but his parents
live at Glendale, Mont. They have been
notified. Both boys bore good regulations.
Lingo was nephew of Representative A.
Il. Kempland. Alb inquest will be held TO-
morrow.

A Constable's Strange Death,

GREAT FALLS. March 22-[Special. Con
stable Heron, of the mounted police OF
Alberta, was found dead near Fort Mcleod
recently, with bullet hole through his
head and his body frozen stiff. Alongside
him lay his revolver, with an empty shell in
one chamber. 1t is thought that, seeing he
was lost, the constable put an end to his
life in desperation, or that, meaning to fire
the pistol to attract attention, he lost con-
troll of the weapon on account of the be-
numbed condition of his hands, and acci-
dentally shot himself. There is some sus-
picion that he was murdered.

The Hatfield Mccoy Fued End After 15O
Deaths.
WHEELING, w. Va. March 22--In lette,
sent to the editor of the Wayne News by
Captain Anse Hatfield, better known as
Devil Anse," he says a general amnesty
has been declared in the Hatfield Gov
fued that the war spirit in him has abated
and he rejoices at the prospects of peace.
This letter will serve to quell all disturb
ances so far as the Hatfield side is con-
cerned. and it is thought like letter has
been published in Kentucky. This state of
affairs is she result of tho marriage of one
of the Hatfields to Miss Mccoy and the
truce and peace congress- held shortly after.
This fued has been in existence since 1873
and there has been no less than 100 deaths
among the participants.

Disaster.
G1BRALTAR, March 22-At the inquest on
the second batch of bodies recovered from
the wrecked steamer Utopia, Capt. Nc
Keague made statement. He said owing
to the thickness of the weather he could not
calculate precisely the length of the Anson's
foredeck and ignored the ram. He did not
know the feet was in the bay. None of the
men on the lookout saw the man-of-war
Curlew and the condition of the anchorage
until too late. The jury unanimously de-
cided that the cause of the disaster was ac-
cidental. One hundred bodies were re-
covered to-day and 1872 of the survivors
have been returned to Naples.

at New Orleans.
CHICAGO, March 22.-Charles Button, a
repairer in the employ of the fire alarm tel
egraph service. entered an Italian barber
shop last night, and setting himself in u
chair, called upon any member of the Ma
fla in the shop to give him shave. He also
announced that he had hand in settling
the New Orleans trouble. The Italians,
upon hearing this, fell on the customer oil
masse and beat Button SO badly with pokers
and chairs that he will probably die. Three
of the BARRIERS have been arrested. Button
it il believed. was not in New Orleans Mt all

Liquor Restrictions.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-hc..;np Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Nettleton has issued
the following circular, announcing change
in the form Of special tax stamp for retail
liquor dealers: 'sLettors are frequently re
ceived stating that in many parts Of the
country retail liquor dealers claim to hold
q permit or license from the United States
for carrying on their business; that in
many cases where tho local law prohibits
public drinking places the Inv is openly
violated by persons who claim to do busi-
ness under at least the moral sanction Of
a federal license; and that this fact greatly
retards the enforcement Of wholesome re-
strictiye laws and promotes disorder. 1t
should be unnecessary to state that the
United States government does not issue
license or permit to any person in any
state to carry on the business of retail
liquor dealers. Congress having levied
the business OF retail liquor dealers, the
commissioner Of internal revenue endeav-
ois to collect this tax wherever and from
whomsoeyer business Ii carried on by but no
semblance of permission is given by the
United States to begin such business in
|
The change has been made III the form of
! United States stamp Issued to retail liquor
dealers as an evidence that they have paid
| such tax, the new form, which goes into
effect July next reading: United States
stamp for special tax, internal revenue re-
ceived from sum OF --- dollars
for special tax on the business of retail
liquor dealer at for the Pc
rjod represented by the coupon or
coupons hereunto attached" Across the
face OF the stamp is inscribed the substance
OF section 3,423, revised statutes: This
stamp is simply a receipt for tax paid the
government, and does not exempt the hold
er from any penalty or punishment pro-
vided for by the law of any state for carrv-
ing on said business within such state and
does not authorize the commencement or
continuance of such business contrary to
the laws of such state, or in places prohib-
tied by municipal law"
II is believed this section will leave no
ground for further misrepresentation.

a GRATUITY TO THE LOYAL.

The President of Chill Repays Those Who
Did Not Revolt.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The bureau of
American republics has furnished the fol-
lowing information: The president of Chill
has given gratuity equal to years pay to
officers of the navy of that republic who re-
fused to join with their comrades in the
recent revolution. Recent newspaper ad-
vices from Valparaiso report that nearly all
of the traffic upon the railways of Chill has
been suspended because of the coal famine
in that country. The price of coal on Jan
uary II was $50 per ton and the supply was
almost exhausted. Unless the blockade is
soon raised, railway traffic and all indus
tries requiring fuel will be entirely sus-
pended.

The Sioux Indians May Take to the
Warpath in Earnest
Once More.
All the Big Chiefs Reported to be
Ready to Put on
the Paint.
The Leaders Angcrcd by Their Treatment
at Washington, the Bucks Goaded
by the SIuaws.

PINE RIDGE, s. D., March 22.--Sx weeks
from now grass will be green, and unless all
signs fail it will be then that the Sioux will
take to the warpath in earnest. Persons
who have been studying the situation all
winter believe that another war is newt
able. The young men have been tainted
and Ribcd by the squaws, and told 80 many
stories of the old-time bravery Hnd prowess
OF the Sioux that they are restless and ready
to avenge their many wrongs. 1t has been
discovered that the Sioux are in constant
communication with the Utes, Arapahoes,
Cheyennes and many other tribes. Their
couriers have been passing to and fro ever
since the troops were withdrawn from the
agency, and when trouble breaks ont again
there will be half dozen tribes arrayed
against the soldiers. So extensive has been
the agitation among the Indians that even
the prisoners of war at Fort Sheridan. near
Chicago, have been importuned to join in
the outbreak.
If there should be another war in the
spring the consequences would be terrible
to the Dakotas, Wyoming and Nebraska.
Instead OF being led by such sub-chiefs as
Short Bull and Kicking Bear, it now seems
probable that the famous bands of Sioux
will have as their leaders such powerful
men as American Horse, Red Cloud, Two
Strike, Big Road and Little Wound, with
the possible support of Young Man-Afraid-
of-His- Horses.
American Horse, although he was aware
of the abject poverty of his people because
of the maladministration of the interior de-
partment, was loyal to the government and
1t was due to this chiefs efforts that hun.
dreds of so-called friendly Indians at Pine
Ridge did not stampede after the Wounded
Knee battle. Later in the campaign Amer
lean Horse was remarkably successful in
peace councils and when the war
was over he was warmly commended
by General Miles. When he went to WASH
ington to tell the story of the swindling
operations of the interior department he
was snubbed and turned away. American
Horse now has a bad heart. He has re-
signed his chieftaincy, and if war should
come land it seems to be inevitably the
famous Sioux will be found against the
government which has treated him so
shamefully. Young-Man- Afraid-of-H His
Horses the most powerful chief in the great
Sioux nation. is also angered at his treat
ment in Washington.

forth the commercial situation of the is

Previously it has permitted this. In all
