sTuPENDous SELLS BROTHERS,
Coming of the Big Show OF the
World.

The coming to Mt. Sterling ON
Friday, September 9th, of Sells
Brothers mammouth and marvellous
amusement enterprise is heralded by
an international chorus of delighted
compliments from millions of tongues
and hundreds of newspapers, in
which America and Australia join in
tones which echo and re-echo clear
across the wide Pacific. Recently
returned from its memorable six
months tour of New South Wales,
Victoria, South Australia and Queens
land, it comes crowned with such
foreign recognition as no other enter
tainment has ever obtained. The
Australian press is unit in recogniz-
ing that not one of it's big advance
promises was permitted to go to pro-
test. AS an example of the impress
sion it created in strange land and
among stranger cities, we learn from
an extended notice in that great
Australian daily, the Melbourn Age,
of 1lth of January last, that sit must
be pronounced brilliant success, for
it may be safely said that no such
panorama of wonders has ever before
been unfolded to Melbourne audi
ence.v That "all is good it would be
hard to pick out any particular item
as being the most worthy of praise"
and that sit would take too much
space TO mention in detail all the
the wonderful performances on
horseback and foot that were
given" That the "races were splen-
didly contested, and furnished brilliant
spectacles." OF the startling and
weird performances by the only
troupe of Bedouin warrior gymnasts,
it says: "Decidely one of the stran-
gest and most fascinating displays
was given by the troupe of arabs.
These are led into the arena by their
chiefs, and after preliminary war
dance some surprising feats in the art
of handling weapons are given.
Some attack each other with the Arab
creeses, others with swords, and
whilst these latter contests were going
forward there were not few
amongst the audience who held their
breath. The men were armed with
sword and buckler, and they engaged
in combat with the seeming ferocity
that characterizes combats in the
desert. One noticeable thing about
these wonderful men is that the
bulkiest of them does not exceed ii
stone in weight, whilst the majority
would perhaps scale s to 9 stone.
Yet they are not only as 1.-the as pan
theirs but as powerful as bulls, and a
striking contrast to the bone and
Drawn of our athletes.
1t should be also mentioned that
the entire great show will be, presen-
ted here, as it is not divided, never
was, and never will be, and in addi-
ton to the splendid feats and features
which caused daily antipodean
craze, there will also be exhibited
here for the first time magnificent
separate collection of rarest living
Australian savage creatures.

The report of the minority Of the committee
on coinage, weights and measures, adverse to
the Bland free-coinage bill, has been drawn up

to the business interests of the
country by the cheapening of the American
currency to a silver basis. and urges that. In
stead Of trying to carry silver by ourselves,
steps be taken to secure an international agree
ment.
The silver men are finding that an impress
sion that has been made upon some of the mem
bers who are themselves in ia
vor Of free coinage that tariff reform
might suffer from the activity in pressing
silver to the front is weakening them within their
own ranks. They are insisting that they have
no desire to force silver as an issue upon the party
or to give the question prominence over the
tariff. They insist that all they want is to be
assn, ed that in due time vote will be had on
for the tariff reform leaders to decide
whether the vote on the silver bill shall be
taken before or after the free-wool bill has
been disposed Some Of the tariff reformers
think that the silver question should be got
out OF the way speedily.
1t is understood that enough signatures have
been secured to the petition for q day for con-
sidering the free coinage bill and that reaolu-
ton fixing day will probably BE- reported.

Capt. Healey's Strong Words About the
Salmon Canning Monopolies

Salmon Canning Monopolies-
CHICAGO, Feb 15.-Capt J. ]. Healey, one OF
the leading men of Alaska. has arrived here on
his way to Washington. He represents the in
forests Of southeastern Alaska, and he is going
to the national capital to warn the Secretary of
the Interior that unless the grievances of the In
dian tribes of the Thlinket nation are redressed
there is danger of an Indian uprising there
Last July several of the tribes threatened the
whites, and the United States steamer Plnta
and a force had to hasten from Sitka to Chill
cat TO suppress the uprising.
The Indians again threaten trouble and it ID
to avoid 1t that Capt. Healey is row on his way
to Washington. Canning mOnOpolies are said to
have outraged the rights of the natives and
are supported in their aggressive policy
against the Indians by the govern
ment officials in Alaska. The whites
are alarmed and as they are practically
defenseless they are in great danger. Capt
Healey says that as the result OF the law passed
by the last Congress there is danger of trouble
in ALASKA, the Law referred to being that which
permits land patent to be granted for land
for business or manufacturing purposes.
Under that law" says Capt Healey linen
haze applied for surveys and patents for Indian
lands which never have been coded to the
United States. and the whites have seized these
lands against the protests of the Indian owners.
But the immediate grievance OF the Indian
tribes is that the canneries that have sprung
up threaten to destroy the salmon, the staple
food of the Indians.
''If the uprising starts it may be general,
now that the Indians of the towns take for
their own use every year hundreds of thou
sands of salmon. In the Chilcat country,
where have trading post. there are three
big canneries on Chicat Inlet. 1t
is the first salmon stream in southeast
Alaska and the salmon run there for months.
All the Indians of those parts depend OH the
salmon of the Chilcat for their food. but the
canneries are destroying their natural source
OF the food supply for the natives.
These cannerles are n curse to Alaska
They seize even the smallest streams Then
they carry up a load of Cinnamon and Fins
from Victoria or Portland to do the work
These men sign contracts that prevent them
from receiving q dollar in wages until their
return from Alaska. The companies carry
up the supplies for them, and the people Of
Alaska don't receive a penny's worth Of benefit
from the Gamers Capt. Healy will also urge
while at Washington that Congress help Alaska
to be suitably represented at the worlds fair.
