clined to say what was the subject
matter of this conference, but the in
ference is drawn that it pertained to
the contemplated legislation in line
with the known policy of the presi-
don't. The probability Of the repeal
of the Sherman law was discussed,
and it may be that some conclusion
was reached as TO how legislation
should be commenced when congress
meets, After the conference the
speaker returned to his hotel, where
he will remain quietly until early to-
morrow morning, when he will go to
New York to make a speech before
the Tammany braves.
"My visit to Washington at this
time" said Mr., Crisp, "was not the
outcome Of the call for the early ses-
sion of congress, for as matter of

come, for come it must as soon as

CLEVELAND AND BENEDICT.
The Chief Magistrate Temporarily
Surrenders Official Existence.

Since he announced his decision on
the momentous question of an extra
session of Congress and issued his
call for the meeting of that body,
President Cleveland has lain aside the
robes of state and ceased, for the time
being, his official existence. He is at
present on board Mr.. T., G. BenedIcts
private yacht, Oneida, where he will
spend the greater portion of the time
intervening between this and the date
of his return to Washington, August
9th, fishing and hunting along the
northern lakes.
L. c. Benedict, who has so often en-
tertained the President on his yacht,
is senior partner to f. c. Benedict Il
Co., bankers and stock brokers of
Wall street, N. Y. He has been Il
member of the New York Stock EX-
change for thirty years and is man
of large means. He resides at Green
witch, Conn, and though essentially a
business man has found time to take
an occasional hand in politics and in a
quiet way has often exerted strong
influence in the councils of his party,
He has never been an Office seeker, and
the only public position he has ever
held was that of warden of the town
of Greenwich. To this Office, strange
to say, he was nominated and elected
while on western trip and knew
nothing of it until his return. He was
delegate to the Chicago convention
of 1892 and could have been the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor of Con-
necticut, it is said, but declined the
honor.
The insinuations which have been
made concerning the relationship be-
tween the President and his host,
wherein it is claimed that Mr., Bene-
dict has profited largely by the rela-
tionship, in becoming repository for
state secrets, which were turned to
good use in Wall street speculation,
are as silly and contemplate as they
are false and unfounded, the character
of both men giving the lie to the
charge.
While absent on his months vaca-
ton the President will devote his idle
hours to the preparation of his mes
sage to Congress, which assemblies on
the 9TH of August.

WILL NOT BE SHOT.

News reached here from Paris, Tex,
yesterday, that Secretary Smith, of the
Interior department, had wired Col.
Faison, Indian inspector, to proceed
to Wilburton at once and issue ali or
der to the Choctaw authorities not to
execute the five men condemned to be
shot to-day. Col. Faison went at
once.
The Jones men are chagrined at the
turn affairs have taken, Capt. Guthrie
is still at Antlers and will not take the
troops to Wilburton unless violence is
threatened.
The crime for which the five men
stand condemned was a blood-curd-
ling affair and dates back to the 10th
of last September, when they, in COM
pany with Moses Williams, Sol Lewis,
Kingsbury Hawkins, Robert Carter
and Thomas MCGEE, all young, full
blood Choctaws, and nine others yet
to be tried, started out to kill all the
leading men belonging to what is
known as the Jones political party,
and they succeeded in killing four,
Frank Frazier, Robinson Nelson, Elan
Colbert and Joe Ioklatubbee, all Choc-
taws, and went to the home of Abner
Pursley, but he succeeded in standing
them off.
1t required the combined efforts of
Indian police, militia and United
States troops to effect the arrest of the
five thoroughly desperate men, who
had fully three hundred members of
the Jackson party at their back.
They were sent to jail and at a
special term of the circuit court held
near Wilburton, for the Moshulatub-
bee district, Judge Holson presiding,
S. E. Lewis and other members OF the
Jones party prosecuting them, they
were found guilty of murder and SEN
fenced to be shot.
At the conclusion of their trial
Moses Williams, Solomon Lewis,
Kingsbury Hawkins, Robert Carter
and Thomas McGee, all full-blood In
dians, were put on trial and convicted.
Nine others are to be tried yet as ac-
cessories to the crime, and will likely
escape with few hundred lashes on
their bare backs.
OF course there are two sides to the
story, as told by respective partisans,
the latter making far different show
ing In behalf of the condemned men.
There is a general belief that the five
men will escape death,
LATER:-Later reports state that
Gov. Jones, yielding to the pressure
brought to bear upon him from all
sides, has ordered stay of execution,
in case Of the condemned Choctaws,
for thirty days. This gives the unfor-
tunate men a new lease Of life and
will enable their friends to carry out
plans for all ultimate communication of
the death sentence, which, it is now
believed, will never be carried out.

CRISP IN WASHINGTON.

at an early hour on the morning of

A Horrible Crime.

The details ofa most horrible crime
have been received from Bardwell, a
small village near Jackson, Tenn, in
which two young ladies, daughters Of

berries a short distance from their
home. Both bodies were terribly
mangled, plainly showing that the
young girls were outraged before be-

Cures Others

Will cure You, is true statement of the
action of AYERS Sarsaparila, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true Of
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as "just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need blood-purifer
and would be benefited permanently.
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the faint Of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
vedly, the confidence of the people.
