THE TR0TTING CIRCUIT.
Stewards Meet and Arrange Programme
for the Summer Meeting.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, May 24.-The stew
ards of the Grand Trotting circuit met to-
day and arranged a programme for the
summer meeting. Resolutions were
adopted that it be declared that the meet
ing would be trotted under rules as they
stand today, unless specified to the con-
trary by any member.
That the grand circuit oppose the pro-
posed change in present distance rules
as inimical to trotting sport, an unjust
hardship to patrons OF the turf who pay
entrance money and detrimental to the
business of the association, productive of
tame racing, thereby depriving the public
who pay, of spirited and exciting con-
tests among good fields of horses; in
short, bad at all points and a most un-
wise movement.
That managers OF the ASSOCIATION desir-
ing to shorten distances may have it by
advertising special clause in the pro-
gramme, but we regard it as unjust and
arbitrary to change the rule, making it
necessary for associations opposing the
change to insert special condition in the
programe; we deprecate the recognition
of tin cup records and favor rule making
it necessary that horses, to obtain
records, must be entered in class or stake
races and obtain them in legitimate racing
contests
Governor Bulkely OF Connecticut, w.
B. Fasig of New York, George w. Archer
of Rochester and G.. J hamlin of Buffalo
are members of the committee to carry
out the resolution.

WEATHER BUREAU.
Assistant Attorney General CoIby's Report
Submitted.

Assistant Attorney General CoIby's Report
Submitted.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-Assistant At
torney General Colby today made report
to the secretary of agriculture on the
weather bureau investigation. He enters
voluminous articles to sustain his con-
illusions. The system of management
adopted by the CHIEF of the weather bu-
reau, in addition to the objection of being
without authority of law, has resulted in
relieving subordinate officials from re-
sponsibility and in the entire absence of
business methods so noticeable in the
general conduct of executive work.
The evidence shows that property of
the government has been taken from the
bureau for private use or illegally sold;
that official theft and embezzlement
had been discovered and brought to the
notice of the chief of the bureau, but the
offenders, with perhaps a single excep-
ton, had never been punished, and many
thousands of dollars worth of public
property carried on the official rolls is not
TO be found in the bureau, and is unac-
counted for. It further appears that there
is lamentable lack of harmony in the
relations existing between the different
officials of the weather bureau.
In conclusion Mr.. Colby makes this
significant suggestion as to the powers of
the secretary in the premises. The act
Of Congress making appropriations for
the weather bureau for the fiscal year of
1893 contains an express provision that
the secretary of agriculture is authorized
to make such changes in the personnel of
the weather bureau for limiting or re-
ducing expenses as he may deem neces-

DARING TRAM ROBBERY.
A West Bound Missouri Pacific
Train Held Up.
EXPRESS CAR BLOWN OPEN.
Railway Officials Say the Amount OF
Money Obtained Was $4,000.
The Robbery Committed Within Thirty
Miles of ST. Louis-The Engineer In
formed That 1t Void Be Healthy
to Stop Quick.

ST. LOUIS, May 24.-The west-bound
Missouri Pacific passenger train was held
up and robbed thirty miles west of st.
Louis tonight by six men, and over So 1000
secured, so express and railway officials
say, but the amount obtained will prob
ablp be in excess of their estimate.
A short distance the other side of
Pacific man climbed over the tender and
holding revolver to the engineers head
said: SIT will be damned healthy for you
to stop her right now" The engineer
stopped, and five confederates appeared.
Without any preliminary services the
door of the express car was blown open
and the robbers secured about 81, 500 in
cash from the safe and package valued
at 50 600. The engineer was then told to
SEQ ahead like hell and make up lost
time" None of the passenger cars were
entered.
Governor Stone and State Treasurer
Stephens were aboard the train, and the
former at once offered $500 reward for the.
conviction of each of the bandits. Posses
are securing the country for them, and it
is thought they will shortly be captured.

principal chief, G. J. Harris, had with
him document in which it appears that
the Cherokee nation sold the Cherokee

choice lands, to the government for
s., 505, 1856, and of this sum the treasury
of the United States has already paid
$685., 1856. the remainder to be paid in five
annual installments. Chief Harris ex
planned that the plan is to realize the
money at once on the governmental prom
Use to pay.
1.-The authorities at Washington. - he
said, shave authorized us to issue Sc, $40, :
600 in bonds bearing per cent. interest.
The United States will indorse these
bonds, and we will take them up as the
government pays us. We expect to get
the money without any trouble and we
already have negotiations pending in
Wall street. We will divide the money
among our people per capita, which will
be used for Improvements, buying cattle
and farming implements and for the bet
ter education of their children. -
Several Wall street bankers are said to
be willing TO give the money to the In
dians. In fact it is looked upon as a
pretty good investment.

Fanny Allen, Who Was Connected with
the Tragedy, Is Frustrated.

Fanny Allen, Who Was Connected with
the Tragedy, Is Frustrated.
CLEVELAND, O., May 24.-Fanny Allen,
alias Mrs. Brown, the woman connected
with last nights tragedy at the Hollen-
den hotel, in which E.. q. Towner COM
mitted suicide, is lying at the city hos
pital in a serious condition. She seems
completely Frustrated. The following
telegram has been received from Cincin-
natl concerning the case:
ssE. e. Towner is wanted at San Diego,
Call, on charge OF embezzlement. He
held the Office of tax collector of the Linda
Vista irrigating district. He was a high
roller and spent money freely. During
his term he lived with handsome young
woman about % years old, and they lived
royalty. When he was succeeded by
new collector, Towner left with the wo-
man.
An examination of his books showed
that he was short several thousand dol
lars. Officers went to search for him, but
he and the woman had fed. 1t is sup
posed the woman who was with him is
the same one and that, finding his money
being gone, she tried to leave him, caus-
ing him to suicide.

HIS CALIFORNIA HISTORY.
Towner and Mrs. Allen Cut Wide swath
in San Diego.

in San Diego.
F SAN DIEGO, CAL, May 24.-The suicide
of e. E. Towner of Denver, at Cleveland
last night, caused no particular surprise
here, where he and his companion, Mrs.
Allen, or Brown, had been living up to
early in March. The woman, who went
by the name of Brown, was well dressed
and seemed to have plenty of money.
Towner had been managing ranch near
here, and was elected tax collector for
Linda Vista district. There is q rumor
that he was short in his accounts about
the time of leaving, but the directors say
that the district owes him about as much
as he is in debt to them. When ToWner,
in company with Mrs. Brown, left here
he had 81 200, and after night at San
Bernardino they went to the Palace hotel
at San Francisco en- route for the Worlds
fair. The supposition is that worry about
his accounts may have caused suicide, as
it is said he left numerous unpaid debts
about town.
Acquaintance of Towner say his home
was at Minneapolis, Kan, where his
father and two sisters live. He came here
in 1887, and was generally employed as
manager of ranches. He got acquainted
with Mrs. Brown at riding school and
became intimate, and had rooms in the
same lodging-house and sat together at
the hotel where they boarded. The
woman drives good deal and has vehicles
in storage here now.

BELFAST, May 24.-The Conservatives
of Belfast and neighboring towns made a
great demonstration tonight in Ulster
hall in honor of the Marquis of Salisbury.
Previous to the arrival of Salisbury, Cap
tain Kennedy, late of the Coldstream
guards, created furore. by unfurling the
union jack under which he said the gren-
adiers fought at Waterloo, and under that
flag, he continued, the Loyalists would
fight in Ulster, and he and many other
officers of the British army would assist
chem.
Lord Salisbury addressed the audience
on the subject of home rule. He said the
bill would probably pass through the
committee stage but the house OF lords
held an impregnable situation, present.
ing as it did the Ioyalist sentiment of
England and Ireland. Public opinion
must be kept alive 20 the dangers of this
imbecile bill. He asked the men of Ulster
to be firm. He asked them to resist such
surrender not only for their own sakes,
but in order to relieve the fame of Eng
land from black and irreparable dis
grace.

IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY.
A Tremendous Falling Oh in the Pro-
duction in England.

duction in England.
LONDON, May 24.-President Richards,
in addressing the Iron and Steel institute
today at the annual meeting, said the
year 1892 was one of the worst ever
known in the iron and steel Industries.
They were still greatly depressed and the
outlook was gloomy. The production of
pig iron had fallen off 600, 900 tons and
steel rails were in worse condition. The
total falling off OF exports of metals and
machinery, as compared with 1891,
amounted to 81, 600, 900 sterling. The
markets were now swamped and there
was not enough work for half the coun-
try's steel producing power.
Mr.. Abel, who followed President
Richards, spoke in an encouraging and
hopeful tone, and expressed the opinion
that there were signs of betterment.
England, he said, was bound to remain
first as an iron ship bnilding country in
the world. 1t is announced that John
Fritz, of Bethlehem, Pa, will be pre-
sented with Bessemer gold medal.

The PuyaIlup Chief Supposed to Have
Drowned, Was No Doubt Murdered.
TACOMA, Wash. May 24.-An autopsy
on the body of Peter Stanup, the Puyal-

yesterday, shows that death resulted
from dislocation of the neck, and not
from drowning. 1t is thought that Peter
was murdered while drunk and the body
thrown in the river. There seems an
utter lack of motive for the crime. Two
Indians alleged to be unfriendly to Peter
are suspected but none of the evidence
adduced connected them with the case.
