to the boom being started. Mr.. Parsell
10 a conservative man and has had vast
experience in mining camps. He is not
of an excitable temperament and is very
cautious in his expressions, hence great
reliance is placed in his expressions. Mr..
Parsell brings good news.
He says the gold there is much coarser
there than that in Colorado canyon. Five
ounce nuggets are not plentiful, though
some have been found, but there are
many that will weigh one ounce each and
many more which run a quarter to half
ounce each.
He says the weather is delightful and q
large number of people have taken adj
vantage of it to get in. There is neces-
sarily some wrangiing over claims. The
country around Henry mountains, he
says, is too rough for much prospecting.
He win return there as soon as he can
dispose of his business interests in Den
yer.
In speaking of the reported battle, he
said it must have occurred after his de-
parture, but thought it was possible for
such an occurrance any time.

A Document Commencing His Work
Now Being Prepared.
The AIonarchic Era of Administration of
Ecclesiastical Affairs to Be Sue
ceeded by Popular and
Democratic One.

ROME, Dec. 3O.-The holy father is
greatly 1ncensed at the opposition dis
played against Monseignor Satolli and the
peaceful and moderate solution of the
school question in the United States. He
said recently to one of his confdents:
'sThey (Satolli's opponents) want to
force the holy sea to retract, but the pope
will not be repulsed. - In document
" hich is now being prepared at the vati-
can, the prudence and wisdom which
Monseignor Satolli displayed in his propo-
sitions Tor a solution of the school ques
ton are spoken of with praise. The fact
that the holy see has addressed an en-
cyclical to the Italian people in their
popular tongue, has caused much more
comment than the document itself. 1t is
the first time the pope, departing from
ancient usages, has addressed himself di-
rectly to the people. This is regarded by
close observers as fresh testimony to the
pronounced, democratic, modern and So
cial character of the change in the ponti-
fetal policy which Leo XIII has brought
about and also of the revolutionary
changes which are operating in the cent
raj government of Catholicism. An in
fuential cardinal recently speaking on
this subject remarked: "The monarchic
era of administration of ecclesiastical af-
fairs is passing away and is being sue
ceeded by popular and democratic era. -

THE UMBRIA is SAFE.
She Passed Fire Island at Midnight for
New York.
The Missing Cunarder VIII Reach Her
Dock Some Time This
Morning.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30. = The steamer
Manhanset arrived this morning from
Bristol and reports that on Dec. 26, she
spoke the steamer Umbria, lying to,
with sea anchors out repairing the shaft.
1t was expected that she would finish the
repairs on the next day. She wished to
be reported all well. She was sighted
about two hundred and forty miles east
of Halifax.
Captain Duck, of the Manhansett, went
to the Cunard line Office to tell the reas-
surfing news to the American agents, and
this is the way that the captain told the
story: s'The weather was very hay at
times and it was not possible to see any
distance ahead. We were within two
miles of the Umbria before we caught
sight of her. The Umbria was lying to
with sea anchor out to keep her we'll
into the wind. She was drifting with the
sea and on that account was quiet and
easy. No canvass was up. The steam
ship was drifting eastward at the rate OF
mile an hour.
81 spoke the ship and asked if any
assistance was needed and the reply was
NO. Shaft was repairing and it was ex-
pected that the work would be completed
by next Tuesday. | remained by the
Umbria from 1:30 to $3.50 O'Clock p. IN.
Shortly after leaving her | passed a
Cunard steamship from Boston bound
east. She would pass directly by the
point where l saw her sister ship. [
should think she ought to be here some
time tomorrow if ali goes well and her
repairs We're completed as expected"
The Dutch Tank steamship ocean Cap

SERIOUS CHARGES.
Filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The Southern Pacific Charged with Whole
sale Discrimination in Favor of
the Standard Oil Company.

CHICAGO, Dec. According to local
paper, some of the most serious charges
ever made against railroad have just
been filed with the Interstate commerce
commission by William G. Bissell g. Co.
San Francisco Every charge is backed
up by correspondence between the Off
Gals and by the published Tariff of the
roads. The complaint covers period
from the year 1888 up to the present time.
According to the correspondence, E. E.
Tilford, San Francisco, manager of the
Standard Oil company, preached the plan
in November, 1888, to Assistant General
Freight Agent Sproule of the Southern
Pacific, to give the Standard company the
inside track on shipments. This plan was
approved by Vice President j. G. Stubs.
1t consisted in making an emergency
rate OF go cents per 100 pounds on Stand
ard oil shipments from Ohio points to San
Francisco. This rate was only to apply
until the Standard company could lay in
full stock, when it was to be advanced to
81 .25, before competitors could take adj
vantage of the reduced rate.
The correspondence seems to show that
this was actually done, and the Juggling
of rates was repeated Indefinitely when
ever ordered by Manager Tilford. The
whole rate making power on oil was APP
parently put in Tilford's hands. This
management enabled the Standard Oil to
undersen competitors by cents a gallon.
rhe complaint also covers the transac-
tions of the transcontinental lines, show
ing that low rates we're made on Standard
oil put on nine cars, though they were
not so cheap to handle as the usual
cylinder tank cars, and returned them to
the Missouri river free, while the cylinder
cars were charged $105 each.
These advantages, it is alleged, gave the
Standard Oil an advantage of cents per
gallon. Giving money rebates is also
charged, and it is said the rates from
Colorado and Wyoming oil fields were
made so high to the coast that they can
not compete with the Standard.

Story of HOSPITAL.


Story of Hospital.
DENVER, Colo, Dec. 3O.-[Special. j
George II. Metcalf, an insane man,
escaped from st. Luke's hospital yester-
day evening. He is son of one of
Canada's members of parliament for OF
tawa and cousin of H. II. Metcalf, Sec
rotary of the Colorado Cattle Growers
association. in this city. During yester-
day afternoon he became very violent and
was closely guarded by the attendants.
They left him for moment when he
arose from his bed, clad only in a night
robe, and jumped from second-story
window and ran across the field to
horse tied to a post in the vicinity. He
had it soon released and jumping upon its
back, was soon dashing down the street,
followed by the attendants, who had
missed him from his room.

Duel With Knives.

DENVER, Dec. 3d. Special. Newt
Vorce, who created big sensation as a
terror of the plains in Arapahoe and
Weld counties, will walk out of the pen
ltentiary on Sunday morning a free man,
the governor having issued the pardon
this afternoon. Newt Vorce's exploits as
an alleged cattle thief and a terror to the
officers of the law are still fresh IN the
minds of the people. Newt was mere
boy, but carried the nerve of the hardest
of highwaymen. The Sheriff's posse
hunted him down and run him to his
dug-out, where in their efforts to cap
ture him they had long, hard battle,
resulting in the death of Gabriel Hol
lingsworth, a deputy sheriff. The battle
was continued and the officers were
beaten off at every advance, and finally
the Arapahoe county sheriff and his dep
uties gave up the game.
Colonel Chivington, the present coro-
ner, whose reputation as an Indian
fighter and a terror to bad men was well
known, was deputized to see what he
could do. He approached the wild man,
who opened fire and gave him hard bat
tie. But the willy colonel was too shrewd
for the outlaw. He secured bale OF hay
and down on his stomach rolled. the hay
before him, and kept up the fight. He
finally captured his man and landed him
in jail. Excitement ran high and the
feeling was so intense that when the trial
was called change OF venue was taken to
Wild county, where he was convicted of
murder in the. second degree and SEN
fenced by Judge j M. Robinson to four
teen years in the penitentiary. He began
the service in the pen on April 81, 1888.
The pardon was granted on the strength
of a perfect or clear record while in the
penitentiary, and the fact, as claimed at
the time of his conviction, that there was
more prejudice than justice in the hearts
of the people.

the published story that Secretary Charles
Foster OF the treasury, when in New York
recently, submitted to the bankers a pro-
position to issue fifty or a hundred mil
lions of bonds but was halted by tele
graphic message from the president, it IS
authoritatively stated at the White House
that the president was not informed of
the intention of the secretary of the
treasury to visit New York and has not
communicated with him or heard from
him in any way.
He has not been unobservant of the
financial situation and does not think the
treasury will find it necessary to adopt
any new policies. He has said several
times publicly that he would maintain
the parity OF all our money issues and
that declaration stands. There is no dis
agreement between the president and the
secretary

THE MONEY MARKET.
How Il Is Considered by the Wall Street
Review.


NEW YORK, Dec. 80. - Bradstreet's
Weekly Wall Street ReUielo says: The spec
ulative week has been distinguished on ly
by its dullness and the absence of any
general feature. The approach OF Jan.
with its changes and settlements had a
restraining influence on the bullish feel
ing, which was reinforced by rember-
ance of recent squeeze in the money
market. On the other hand decline of
exchange rates seems to diminish the
sense of appreciation in regard to the f.
nancial situation which soverhangs the
''streets.'
The ease on the exchange may be as
cribed to exceedingly slack inquiry for
remittances, though it is understood that
offerings of commercial bills have in
creased and that bankers are less appre-
hensive in regard to the continuance of a
high level eff exchange and accompanying
gold exports after January.
The money market was favorabIy af-
fected bys these considerations as well as
by more positive influences of fairly
large inflow of money from the interior.

A KANSAS SCHEME.

Populist Plans for Making Loans and
Fixing Interest Charges.
TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. 30.-The Populists
propose ID inaugurate a new plan for
making loans in this state. High rates of
interest and brokers' charges cause many
thousands OF industrious men to lose
their homes through the foreclosure of
mortgages. The scheme is to create
state loan commission through which all
loans shall be negotiated. Money would
pass through the state treasury and pay
ment be guaranteed either by the state or
counties, thus doing away with brokers'
charges and securing a low rate of inter-
est. Governor Llewellyn in his annual
message will recommend the scheme.

supreme court to compel the Choteau
county canvassing board to canvass the
vote of that county having expired, the
REALTORS attorneys this morning made a
motion for the issuance of another per-
emptory writ extending the time, which
was granted. The grounds on which the
motion aas made were that the peremp-
tory writ heretofore issued had not been
served upon members of the cavassing
board and that the day named in the writ
for the board to canvass the vote had
passed, and the writ therefore becomes
imperative. 1t is probable the vote will
be canvassed by Monday.
