first stage sent out by the Eilensburg &
Okanogan Transportation Company left
here yesterday morning, fully loaded, and
made the trip to Rock Island in eight
hours. There the steamer City of Ellens-
burg was lying with steam up. The pas
sengers were taken on board and she
started up the Columbia bound for Okla
hogan river and way places. The boat as
refitted by Peters & Donaher is said to be
excellent and the boat easily passed
muster before the government inspectors.
Though allowed 100 pounds of steam
she met every requirement. with lis

demand for freight rates indicates that
shippers realize that this is the shortest
ana quickest way into the Okanogan re-

can leave the Sound on the night overland
train, meet the $50 stage here, be in
Wenatchee in less than twenty-four hours

THE FREE SILVER LOBBY,
A Big Gang OF Bribers With Unlimite ed
Money in Washington CITY,


WASHINGTON CRY, May 3.-[Special Cor
respondence. l-One of the peculiar char
acteristics of the free silver enthusiasts in
the canvass they have made for the passage
of q free coinage bill during the last two
years has been the claims they have set up
that Wall street influence, backed by the
'gold bugs" of the country, has defeated
their plans in nearly every particular.
The silver men have gone SO far as to
claim that Wall street and its interests
have maintained the strongest lobby in
Washington City during the past two
sessions of congress that this country has
ever seen. In explanations to their con-
stituents and through the newspapers they
have clamored for free coinage and the
direct charge has frequently been made
that the goldbugs, through their lobby in
Washington City, had not only influenced
and driven certain members to vote
against free coinage, but that votes had
been purchased. The silver men have been
so emphatic in their claims in this respect
that the farmers of the West have come to
believe that all these stories were actually
true. The honest farmer in the West has
been led to believe, of course, that the
passage of free coinage law would raise
the mortgages on his farm, and that an
era of prosperity would follow the enact
ment of such q law, so far as the farmer
was concerned, at any rate. The
Western Agricultural is firmly
convinced now that the gold bugs
have actually purchased votes in
congress in order to defeat free coinage,
and many of them have determined that
their representatives here shall be GEN.
sured. if not punished, for having voted
with the Republican party against the en-
actment of free coinage law. The West
ern farmer has by no means heard the
whole story.
Il can be stated, and any statement of
this kind can be proved, that the owners
of the silver mines have maintained in
Washington City a lobby that has been
far more dangerous than anything in re-
cent years. During the Fifty-frst con-
gress the silver men opened headquarters
in Wizards hotel, and during that entire
session they paid 500 day for the rooms
occupied. During that session the mine
owners had hundreds of clever lobbyists
in the capital city, aud used every
device to be thought of to carry
out their designs in favor of a
free coinage bill. With the adjourn
ment of the Fifty-irst session,
the headquarters of the silver men in
Washington were by no means abolished.
1t was maintained during the long recess
between the Fifty-first and Fifty-second
congresses. and since the opening of this
congress its forces and its sinexs have
been strengthened in every way. Ii can
be said that there is evidence that the sill
verites have not only been willing to use
every ariitice 10 influence votes in their

Cheyennes Threatening Trouble.

KINGFIsnER, Q. T., May 3.-Governor
Seay regards the situation caused by the
ugly attitude of the Cheyenne Indians to-
wards settlers in the newly-opened lands
as sufficiently perilous to demand his pres
ence on the scene, and he passed throu gin
here today en- route there. A company of
United States troops will follow him to-
morrow. White Shield, Cheyenne chief,
is the leader of the rebellious reds.
Another cause for alarm is the fact that
new town is being built on the site of the
burial grounds of the Indians killed in
battle with General Custer in 1865. The
Indians regard the building of town
there as sacrilege and threaten to burn out
and massacre the inhabitants.
