ton OF the race. This protection is
not only to be extended to the mem

colored man who may be made the

suspected of violating the laws. The
organization has the power to say

order Is oathbound, and any member
OF the organization who fails to carry
out the DEGREES of the Bloody Three"

jectors is to impress upon the whites
that they cannot go on lynching
negroes with impunity merely on sus-
picion.

Statistics of available whea. stocks
indicate that with q continuance OF
the rate OF exports reported for three
weeks past. the United States will car.
ny over about as much available, and
probably more invisible wheat On July
/, than in 1891 on the same day. EN-
ports OF wheat from both coasts this
week land flour as wheaD equal g.,
261 900 bushels, contrasted with q
weekly average OF 100000 bushels
during the previous three weeks and
with / ,941 900 bushels in the second
week OF May, 1892. Dispatches
show a total OF los strikes of impor-
tance within two weeks, involving
27,2OO industrial employees, against
twice that number OF striking wage
earners q year ago. Fully 10000
strikers are quarrymen and stonecut-
tiers, 1000 are mental workers and
1000 are coal miners. The outlook
is for an early extension OF idleness
among building trades at the West
and granite. handlers East
A concensus OF European expert
opinion as to the prospective price OF
wheat is cabled as follows: 1t depends
upon the weather and crop reports;
meanwhile the French demand, which
may cease within ten days, imparts
fiymness. The general opinion among
European authorities is that the low
est price has been touched this season,
although sufficient supplies are practi.
ca!ly assured. European crop pros
poets generally are below the average,
though probably not much.

well.nigh Pur,tanic in severity; his
toys were few, and his source OF amuse-
ments were limited. He says:

They Are Ready to Fight Uncle Sam to
the Death.
Ell. FAso, Tex, Dec. 14.-From pas
sengers ON a Southern Pacific express
from the west it was learned that the
wife OF Kid, the notorious Indian
refugee, has returned to the San Carlos
reservation and surrendered. She has
accompanied Kid on all his murderous
raids in Arizona and New Mexico, and
talked freely of his exploits.
From her it was learned that Kid
committed many murders which had
been charged to others. From her de-
scription the whereabouts of the small
band Of renegades are in the mountains
in the vicinity of Duncan, A. T., with
out food and shelter and suffering great
ly from cold and exposure.
She confirms the belief of the army
officers that her chief will never sur
render to the authorities or return to
the reservation, but will escape across
the line into Mexico, where he has
friends and will be protected. Every
effort is being made by the army to cap
ture the Kid, and to see that his small
band is not reinforced from the reserva-
ton.
His thorough knowledge Of the coun-
try makes it almost impossible to effect
his capture, and, while he has been sur
rounded many times, and escaped when
almost impossible, he has in some mys.
terious manner got through the regu-
lars lines and began new series of ap-
palling murders.
