INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 17,--Friends
of De Pau University, at Greencastle,
are expressing a good deal of concern
over the institution owing to the failure
of the De Pau requests to meet expecta-
tons.
It is said that while the university ex-
pected to realize something like 81 ,600,-
900 from the De Pau requests, it will
really receive but about 100000, and
the trustees are considerably worried
over the matter.
Within the last two years they have
made large improvements on the by,
pothesis that they would get the ex'
pected sum from the De Pau requests
and now that these are falling short grea
Inconvenience is likely to result

taMs Convicted Of Murder.

KANSAS CITY, NO., July ia CORE
spondent of the Kansas City Times went to
the home of Governor Jones of the Choc-
taw nation, two miles from Caddow, and
interviewed the governor as to his purpose
regarding the execution Of the sentence

eral politicsl murders aud sentenced to
death.
The governor said the prisoners were
now enjoying respite granted by the trial
Judge TO permit of his bearing arguments
FOR new trial. II the judge declined to
grant rehearing the prisoners would be
shot according 10 the sentences. If they
were granted new trial they would be
found guilty. So they would be shot any
way.
The governor was asked what course be
would pursue in the event of the Locke
| faction or the United States affirming OPP
position to the execution of the sentence
The governor replied: "As the CHIEF
executive, will cali out every member Of
| the militia and all the sheriffs and Light
horsemen In the nation to see that they
are executed. You can say that they will
be executed, as l am going TO see thai
every officer does his duty in this matter
When one refuses to act shall at once lei
him out of office and will put man If
who will do his duty"
JONES is BOUND TO SHOOT THEM.
FoRT GIBSON, l. T., July 13.-it is re
ported that Governor Jones will attemp
to execute the condemned Choctaws, anc
that the courts will try to stop him. Tn
opinion is general here that the Fedora
soldiers must be used as last resort Il
prevent the executions.
EXECUTION POSTPONED TO AUG. 4TH
WASHINGTON, July a. Referring to tn
published report that the nine Chocta,
Indians found guilty OF murder by tn

has been suspended until August 4th. N
action has yet been taken by the Unite
States court. Inspector Faison Is actin

DENVER, COL, July 1.-THE Rocky
Mountain Nelos to-day publishes letter
from Sir Moreton Frewen of London,
to one of the editors of the Nesos and
one to Lord Lansdowne, Viceroy OF
India, in which IL appears according to
statements of Lord Lansdowne, that
India suspended free coinage of silver

American and Eastern press left no

"We are by no means inclined to
make sport Of the business disturbance
and the distress which the sudden fall
in the price of silver causes in the min
ing districts of the west" says Harper's
Weekly. "But the miners and smelters
would be entitled to much more SYM
pathy were not our present financial
troubles and disasters in great mea-
sure owing to the fact that the silver
sinners interest has by all sorts Of
means extorted unreasonable legislative
favors from Congress, made it ito bust
ness to spread unwholesome and dan
gerous financial doctrines among the
people, and thus contributed very much
to the causes of our present trouble. The
silver miners have long been the spoiled
children of the nation, and there is some
thing pitiably infantile in their present
conduct when they go into hysterical
spasms and rave about universal con
spiracy against them Of the gold bugs
the world over, and threaten to set up q
western empire for themselves if man
kind will not pledge them $1.29 fol

the government Of India is prudentll

However, we should not judge them TOT
harshly. 1t is always SO with peopl
who have received favors from the gov
eminent which they ought not to hav'
received, and who, when such favor
are to be withdrawn, complain that BAT

Massachusetts has law requiring

Says the Augusta, Ga, Ecening Mems:
The Democratic policy when Congress
shall have assembled is as plain as the
nose ON ones face. The first thing to be
done should be to repeal the silver pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act Of
1890. A majority of both houses, accord
ing to recent canvass, are in favor Of
repeal. 1t will be time enough to con-
slider substitutes afterward. When by
stopping silver purchases, we shall have
dissipated the financial fog in which the
country is enveloped, we may better see
what course to take thereafter.

Commenting upon the reduction in
railroad fares to Chicago an exchange
says that ii comes late and grudgingly
and that 1t will benefit only those who
can be reconciled to submitting to in
conveniences in travel, who can do
without the modern luxuries which
have so largely become indispensable
comforts-that is, without sleeping cars
or reclining chairs. With regard to the
first count in this indictment, we agree,
but it seems to us that this and other of
our exchanges lay too much stress upon
the sleeping car privation. There are
millions of plain people in the United
States who have neverridden in sleeper
and who, therefore, have never learned
to consider that luxury indispensable
We doubt very much whether one
fourth of the Worlds Fair excursionists
who will travel by these cheap trains
would care to pay for sleeping ca
berths If there were dozen sleeper
attached to the trains.

La Naeion, little newspaper pub
lished in the Argentine Republic, is
credited with one of the biggest beats
on record, This Argentine paper printed
the news of the sinking of the British
war steamer Victoria day ahead of
every other newspaper in the world, and
intelligence Of that fearful disaster was
known in far.o,f Buenos Ayres before
it had been heard of in London. The
dispatch to the British government an
nouncing the sinking of the Victoria lay
for twelve hours unopened in the Ad-
miralty office. Meanwhile the news had
been stolen off the wires and sent by a
friend of the Argentine paper to La
Nacion, which was thus enabled to pub.

When it was demonstrated that the
recently elected German Reichstag was
favorable to the Army bill, even though
by only the small margin of sixteen
votes, the opponents of that measure
gracefully yielded and lett go through,
without attempting any parliamentary
obstruction. The government had ap-
pealed to the voters; the voters after a
fair election had rendered their verdict,
and even the terrible Socialists submitted
to that decision. There seems to be a
lesson lying loose around here, applica'

The DeLawarean thinks that there is
some parallelism between the free coin
age of silver and the blessings of good
peach crop, The argument is that it is the
duty Of the government to keep up the
value of silver SO that the owners of
silver mines may have the wherewithal
to do as the peach growers do after
prosperous season-pay their debts, buy
new carriages and new machinery, hire
more help, repaint their houses and
barns, buy more goods from the mer-
chants and new clothes for themselves
and families, make every man in the
community better off and, like the rain
of Heaven, go around showering bless
ings upon the just and upon the unjust.
II is a great scheme. How would it do
to extend the blessings of the Sherman
act to the peach growers-require the
national government to buy, say, four
million baskets of peaches every month
during the season at price not exceed
ing $l.29 per basket, and turn the Urea.

seek to deceive the people" into believ
