Miller on the Nicaragua Canal.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 2S.-Ex- Senator
Miller addressed large audience tonight
on the subject of the Nicaragua canal
under the auspices of the Minneapolis
board of trade. In the course or his speech,
he called attention to the fact that it was a
private enterprise he had been invited by
the foreign relations committee to the
Senate to make proposition looking to
the transfer of the canal company as it
now stands, with an expenditure of
S6,o00,000, to the United States and in
response he had gone to Washington and
offered TO make the transfer for what the
committee itself would say was fair price,
considering the expenditure already made,
and the time and labor already involved.
But he denied emphatically that he volun-
teered any proposition looking to the trans
fer of his company's right to the govern
ment OF the United States, or that he had
IN any way tried to lobby bill having that
end in view

a Demand on Governor Barber for catt!emep

CHEYENNE, wy, April ga formal de-
mand has been made on Governor Barber
by deputy sheriffs of johnson county for
the cattlemen confined at Fort Russell,
assuring him they would receive a fair and
impartial trial.
Governor Barber's reply to the demands
OF the deputy sheriffs of johnson county,
for the prisoners at Fort Russell is not
ready. He will, it is said, positively de-
cline to turn over the prisoners at this time.
Matters will remain in statu quo until an
information against the stockmen is filed
by the prosecuting attorney. ATTORNEYS
for tue defendants will then apply for q
change of venue on the ground of the ex-
element that prevails in johnson county.
Reports from that locality indicate a law
less condition of affairs. Two newspapers
opposed to the rustlers have been sus-
pended.
Later this evening the governor sent a
written reply TO the deputy sheriffs, in
which he says no criminal proceedings
have yet been commenced and he deems i,
an unnecessary expense and labor to hold 8
preliminary examination in this manner
Neither does he believe order is so restored
and the excitement so abated in Johnson
county as to render it safe to take these
prisoners there at this time.

Bland on the Silver Question

NEW York, April 2S.-The New York
Herald's Washington special says: "For
the sake of few New England Mugwumps
we are likely TO lose number of Demo
cratic silver states" declared Congressman
Bland. Bland has apparently abandoned
all hope of silver legislation at the present
session of Congress. He does not admit
this in SO many words, but does not talk
hopefully of getting his bill up again to the
House, and he knows there is little chance
the Senate will take the initiative in pass
ing the bill Bland was asked what states
.the Democrats were likely to loso this fall
of their failure to pass silver bill.
He named North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkan-
yas.
"What do you think of the proposition
for monetary conference7"
Bland received the suggestion with a
scoruful sniff and said: "That does not
fool anybody. There will be no monetary
conference. The President does not want
amonetary conferences; England does not
want a monetary conference nor New
England, nor DO the bankers of Wall
street. They are all in cahoots. This is
merely political trick on the part of the
President. He simply wants TO tide over
the SITUATION until the next election. He
has no expectation there will be none
tary conference nor have l."
Bland said the commit ZEE on rules might
bring in an order calling up the silver bill
again and keeping it before the House un-
til disposed of; but when asked if he
thought they would do it, he could not tell
what they would do.
These views of Bland seem to DE shared
by Pugh, of Alabama, an ardent silver
man, and strong opponent of the nomiua-
tion of Cleveland. He agrees with Bland
Ia thinking number of southern states
are doubtful with an anti-tree coinage can
oidate. He goes further and insists North
Carolina and South Caoolina will be car
ried by the Republicans at the autumn
election if the Democrats re- nominate
Cleveland or any candidate with decided
anti-silver views.
A "Humbugp' was the ejaculation Of Sen
stor Stewart, Of Nevada, when asked what
he thought of the Presidents plan for an
international conference. 1.-The President
talks about the enlarged use OF silver. -
said the Senator. There can be no enlarged
use of silver except TO use it for money.
He is talking nonsense. l intend to make
aspeech about it at the first opportunity. y
