DENVER, Col, Feb. IO.-The Navajo
Indians Of New Mexico have gone on the
warpeth and they threaten the lives of all
white men. A battle between the redskins
and cowboys is now in progress niue miles
south Of Albuquerque. Great excitement
prevails.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
COOLIDGE, N. NJ, Feb. lO.-The trouble
arose on account of renegade Indians killing
cattle. Chief Mariana was requested ten
days ago to remove the Indians. This was
granted, but Tuesday three Indians were
found coming down the trail toward
Chavez and cowboys ordered them back.
They started back, and on the bluff built
signal fires. Soon forty renegade Indians
came TO their assistance in defiance of the
cowboys and their promise not to trespass.
There were no cowboys at Chavez at the
time, but the Indians claimed that their de-
serted camp had been burned by cowboys,
and they were going to get even.
THREATENED TO BURN RANCH.
The Indians threatened to burn San An
tonic ranch, occupied by a cattleman named
Coddington, and they loft Chavez, going in
that direction. Harry Cody. mother and
two men were at the ranch. Fifteen armed
cowboys Immediately left for the ranch,
which is sixteen miles distant, arriving at
O'Clock y. M, but all was
quiet. The cowboys remained at
the ranch until noon to-day, but
could not discover any Indians. Lieut.
Wallace, Troop II, Second cavalry. and ten
men from Fort Wingate with pack mules
passed Coolidge on their way to the San
Antonio ranch. with orders to remain
there several days and be ready to quell any
hostilities on the part OF the Indians. This
evening everything is reported quiet at and
in the vicinity of Chavez.

A BLAZE AT CINCINn ATT.
The Valuable Contents Of an Auction

AO y cANAAGAO SOAb0nbS Cl I'LL - AuCblOn
and Storage House Burned.
CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 1O.-Fire broke out
tonight in the building occupied by Eze-
kiel q Bernheim, auctioneers and storage
commission dealers, on the east side of Main
street, extending $50 feet to Hammond
street. Next door north of it are the ware
and sales rooms of the American Oak
Leather Company, of the same d.
mensions. The two buildings con-
stitute a block, and they are five
stories high. The fire pretty thoroughly
destroyed the portion occupied by Ezekiel
& Bernheim, and badly wrecked the por~
tion of the building occupied by the Ameri-
can Oak Leather Company. On Main street
next south of Ezekiel &y Bernheim's is the
Commercial National Bank. Next south of
the same building on Ham nond street is the
Hammond street police station. The roof
OF the Commercial National Bank has been
crushed in. and the roof and walls of the
Hammond street police station have also
been crushed in.
THE LOSSES.
The loss on the buildings is about $780, 900.
In the Ezekiel & Bernheim building the
goods consisted of consignments from all
parts of the country. The storage depart
mont contained the household goods Of $50
families who are abroad. It also
contained large collection of
valuable paintings, the property of Henry
Moaler. Mr.. Ezekiel said tonight that he
could not estimate the value of the goods in
store aud consignment, but he said all the
stores and basement were crowded. Men
who have opportunity to know estimate
the loss TO Henry Mosler at $50, 900,
at least. One painting in his
collection was valued at $4,000
There are other storages of valuable
paintings in small lots. A rough estimate
of the loss in the auction and storage build
ings is $4,000. 1t is also estimated that
the loss on the American Oak Leather Com
pany's stock is $4,000. The insurance on
the auction and storage rooms was made
principally by the owners and consigners.

RUMoRs OF A MUTINY.

Sensational stories were circulated yes
terday that the loss of the steamer was due
to a mutiny on board and that the captain
and some OF the.ohicers we're murdered. All
those who were not then accounted for have
since arrived at either Cardiff or Havre.
The mutiny story is disposed Of by Chief
Engineer Knowles Of the Embricos, who has
arrived ut Liverpool. He denies that there
was mutiny among the steamers crew be-
fore she foundered. He says he was the
last person TO leave the vessel and that per-
feet harmony prevailed between the officers
and crew throughout.

Adjusting Ourselves to Protection.

The New York Tribune of Sept %
says: Protection has been our policy
for thirty years. All the interests of the
country are adjusted to it"
There seems to be n slight error in this
statement. The interests are adjusting
themselves to it. but the process is not
completed. The census shows that the
farms of the west and south are not yet
all mortgaged, and there are a consider
able number of farms in New England
and the east around our protected home
markets" not yet abandoned.
The adjusting in this line could be con-
tinued two or three more decades before
all farmers would be tenants of our
millionaire landholders. Neither is the
adjustment perfected in manufacturing
interests. 1t is true that in most cases
manufacturers have formed trusts to
prevent competition and enable them to
reap the benefits of high duties, but in
a few cases manufacturers have been
slow to grasp the situation and take ad-
vantage of the duty vouchsafed to them.
In such cases they actually continue to
compete with each other, and the con-
sumer sometimes gets goods at the
"cheap" and "nasty" prices prevailing
in Europe. The Mckinley bill is doing
its work better and faster than the old
semiprotective tariff measures, and if
left alone might complete the adjust
ment by the end Of this century.

rroleclIon pl.astrous to rranee.

AS an offset to Lord Salisbury's re-
cent utterances as TO a partial return to
the policy Of protection, 1t is interesting
TO observe how France fares under her
new tariff law, which is avowedly the
EXTREMIST system Of protection enforced
anywhere in Europe. Last year her du-
ties were raised from % TO 80 per cent,
and the law which went into effect in
February has shown during its first
three months how it is likely to infu-
ence trade. The results seem TO have
been promptly felt, and are frankly
disappointing TO protectionists. They
hoped, by levying almost prohibitiye
tariffs, practically 10 stop the iinporta-
ton Of foreign manufactured goods.
The decrease in these for the first quarter
wear has been some 5000, 900 francs; but
the value of manufactures exported at
the same time fell off 03,0OO,OO0 francs.
II is hard to account for this important
decline on any other basis than that Of
the new tariff.
Meantime imported food supplies in
creased by 34,0O0,00O over the same
period Of 1891, and as the duties on these
were all much higher the increased
cost came directly ont Of the pockets Of
consumers. Without stopping to COM
pare some interesting particulars In
which the trade Of this year has differed
from that Of last. it remains TO note the
fact that, contrary to expectation, the
increased duties have resulted in loss
Of revenue. Instead Of greater customs
dues, for the last three months the re-
ceipts show about 81 10000 less than
In the first quarter Of 1891, and nearly
s., 800, 900 less than the budget estimate.
And since the increase Of duties, with
new schedules and categories, involves
larger corps Of officials, this smaller
rerenue has between the same dates
cost about 100000 francs more to col
lcct. The principle Of protection seems
10 have been carried TO an extreme in
France where it ceases to protect
Christian Union.

THE DUTY ON WOOL.
1t Protects Only Protectionist Politicians
Mt the Consumers Expense.

1t Protects Only Protectionist Politicians
Mt the Consumers Expense.
The editor of The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter is by no means free
trader. He believes in protection, but
he has to deal with facts in the wool and
cotton industries, and these facts have
convinced him that protection to the
wool industry is farce, kept up by pol
iticians and political wool growers at
the expense of consumers and actual
wool growers. The following is an ex-
tract from an editorial in this journal
for Sept. /, 1892:
1t is impossible not to admire the
genial persistence with which Judge
Lawrence, of Ohio, interjects his pc
culiar opinions respecting the wool tar
if whenever opportunity offers. His
letter elsewhere contains some interest
ing and kindly suggestions respecting
The Reporters experiments with aban-
doned farms in Maine, but the judge
closes with a characteristic exordium to
The Reporter to join with him in de-
Tending high duties upon wool.
This illogical character Of his conclu-
sions transpires firstin. his advocacy Of
sheep as means Of 'reclaiming the soil.
He mentions wornout hay farm OF
$50 acres which yielded but seventeen
loads of hay the season after it was pur-
chased. No means of recuperation
were found successful until sheep were
tried, the result being that the farm
eventually cut 500 loads Of hay, besides
q yielding Other bountiful crops. But,
wonderful TO relate, this experiment oc-
Cured between 1870 and 1866, which
was mainly periodsof low wool dutiesl
All, Judge, you forget. yonprlf when
YOU mentioned this interd 3 expert
menbin the same letter ihFhich you
make the success Of sheep htfsbandry
dependent upon the tariff.
If the abandoned farms" Of The Re
porter are successful, we shall keep
1000 sheep upon them eventually, and
ought to raise $4,000 worth Of lambs for
market per annum. But 1000 sheep
can hardly be expected TO produce more
than $4,000 worth of wool per year.
AIDING 10 inc duuudi piOuuSe VI i"4Aoo
such percentage of increase in the pro-
ductive capacity'of the land as Judge
Lawrence suggests, and it will be seen
that the wool is but a moderate factor
in the success of the experiment.
We are afraid TO expect that the sue
cess of The Reporters experiment Is as
well assured as Judge Lawrence sug-
gests. The chances seem to us about
even that the experiment will prove q
failure, and that the tariff has very little
10 do with the matter either one way or
the other. But while we believe the main
objection to the increased duties upon
wool under the Mckinley bill has been
that they are tax upon the consumer
without doing the producer any good,
we still admire the genial insistence
with which Judge Lawrence presents
his high tariff opinions whenever oppor-
tunity offers.

pecL,s One sided Renort.

Six thousand protected manufacture
ers in New York have returned to'Peck
their opinions-in figures on prepared
slips Of paper-of what Mckinley is do
ing for themselves and their 2S5, 900 en-
ployees. They give evidence on one side
Of the question. Now let Commissioner
Peck send his slips to the employees and
tabulate their replies before making his
final report. But Mr.. Peck, according
70 Republicans, from President Harri-
son down, is a great and reliable statis-
tician, who would not risk his = 'uta-
ton by publishing side by side, in one
report, figures from the benefciaries OF
Mckinley and from those who have

Steel Rails.

Missouri has one maker Of steel rails.
He reported to the census Of 1880 that
he had made 800 tons Of steel rails
costing S351 OOO,
or SO per ton, and 5,1OO tons Of steel
blooms worth $j5O,0OO
ors2, los per ton. His product was worth,
less wages, SSi9,5o2.
His protection in 1850 to pay difference
in wages was s3s2, ,22l.
The total wages he paid, then, $57,6lS.
On the same quantity and quality made
this year his protection will be $272,5H.
but instead Of paying sJ.G7 per ton wages
he viii pay less than s.. The exact
amount he pays, Mr.. Frick says, is none
of the business Of congress. He may
give his employees what he likes and
steal what he likes from the money
granted by congress as the difference in
wages.
One protected mill owner is the same
as another. They all use pauper labor,
supported by public tax, and the en-
plOSer pockets from one-quarter to three
quarters Of the pauper dole. Protection
is the robbery of the paupers employed
and the swindliDg of the public.-T. Z.

Suppose it were possible to reverse
the process, and to tax imported labor
so per cent. while admitting the pro-
ducts of labor manufacturers, etc, free.
Then labor would have real protection
and manufacturers, instead Of buying
labor at its par value and selling their
goods at so per cent. premium, would
be compelled TO sell goods at par and to
pay 80 per cent. premium for labor.
Do YOU think this arrangement would
suit the manufacturers: Do you think
they are sincere when they advocate

What they want is cheap labor ana hlgh
prices for their products. Doyou think
they would advocate-yes, and pay for

Thompson of Humboldt is risen. W. w.
