Prairie Fires and Cowboys on the Ram
page DO Considerable Mischief.
MILES CRY, Aug. 1l.-W. Harrington,
a cowboy recently arrived from Texas,
let himself loose last night and this
morning, and wound up by stabbing a
barkeeper named Scott between the
shoulders with large clasp-knife in a
quarrel with the latter over the formers
refusal to pay for drink. Harrington
was arrested and jailed. Scott's wound
will not have fatal results.
News has been received here of the
death at Sheridan, Wyo.. on the 4th inst,

Gently appointed one of the Montana in
spectors.
An extensive prairie fire has been
burning north of the Yellowstone. 1t
was started by lightning on Alkali creek
a tributary of Sunday creek, and burned
up to Low Rock creek. Ranchmen
fought it for two days and nights. A
fierce wind blew from the west and the
fire spread toward the east faster than
horse could gallop and burned clear into
the Sheep mountains, devastating fifty
miles square before it stopped in the
rough country about the mountains. A
ranchman named McNancy bad fifty
tons of hay burned up on one OF the
forks Of Sunday creek about fifteen
miles from here.

TO BUZZARD'S BAY.
Mr.. Cleveland is Sick and Goes to His

Had Something to DO With
His Going.

New YORK, Aug. 12.-President Cleve
land and Secretary Lamont arrived here
yesterday from Washington. After
lunch the president anG COL Lamont
we're driven to DR.. Bryant's house, where
the latter joined the party and they were
driven to the Victoria hotel, where Col
Lamont left the carriage The carriage
was then driven to the dock of the Fall
River line to take the steamer Puritan.
AS the president alighted it was noticed
that his step was not as elastic as when
he came from Bdzzard's Bay last week.
His eyes looked heavy. The president
Immediately went to his cabin. DR..
Bryant was asked:
us it not strange, doctor, that the
president should leave the seat of gov
ernment while congress is engaged with
legislation of vitally important charac-
ter?"
He replied that he was not prepared
to criticise the president. "Perhaps a
domestic event required his presence. 1t
would be unprofessional on my part to
speak of that matter" The colored
porter who waited on the president said,
just before the boat departed at o'cock,
that the president was undressing to go
to bed. The impression prevailed on the
Puritan that the presidents condition is
far from well

ing WOrkIngmen at Butte.
BUTTE. Aug. lit is proving God
send TO the people Of Butte that the
Butte, Anaconda Il Pacific railroad is
being put through between this city and
Anaconda at this time. While many of
the mines are closed completely, and
others are running full force, the road is
employing at this time between LOCO or
l.2OO men who would otherwise be idle,
and the most of them would be thrown
on the community penniless. Miners
and home men have been given the
preference among applicants for work,
and, if married, they are given the pref
erence over all, SO that the labor, which
cannot be given to all, can help as many
as possible. Contractors state that il
they desired, or if the work would war
rant it, they could easily double the
present working force.
The price paid for grading laborers is
s2.25 per day, but most of the applicants
do not ask concerning wages, and many
have offered to work for Sl.50 per day,
This more than anything else shows how
near many workingmen in Butte are to
want. A number of men, after working
single day, draw their wages for thar
day in order to buy provisions for their
families-so they tell their bosses. Mar
ried men are permitted to board at home,
although the camps are provided for the
workingmen and meals are furnished

MlssoULA, Aug. 1O.-A Missoulian
special from Grantsdsle gives an account
of an attempted assault last Saturday
upon a step daughter of Samuel Moore,
a Skalkaho ranchman, by negro. The
girl fled from her assailant and was pur-
sued almost to the door of the house.
The girl reached home breathless with
fright and exhaustion and told her father
OF the assault. He promptly pursued
the black wretch. The negro eluded his
pursuer until last night, when he was
found by Moore, who fired tine charge of
shot gun at him. The negro apparently
fell into Some brush and Moore, think
ing that he had killed him, came to
Hamilton and surrendered to the officers.
The sheriff went to the scene and found
the negro unharmed. He was arrested
and brought to Hamilton, where he will
have hearing tomorrow. Moore was

Facts on the Situation at New York, and
Gen. Tracy's Views.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE scarcity OF
currency was very great again today and
money brokers' offices were thronged
with customers who are selling their
boards at big premium. Money bro.
kers were getting AZ per cent for cur
rency today. They were contracting to
deliver gold at 21a per cent and foreign
exchange was proportionately strong.
The time for delivering national bank
notes after receipt of recent applications
for them has been reduced from twenty
to fourteen days and orders are coming
in at the rate of slO,OOO,OOO day. The
subtreasury at San Francisco has been
ordered to send S8,OOO,OOO in gold to the
subtreasury at New York.
Gen. Tracy, OK secretary of the navy,
today talked of the currency famine.
He said: 1.-THE administration has ample
power to relieve the currency famine in
forty-eight hours. There are more than
3OO,OOO,OOO standard silver dollars in the
treasury department at Washington.
The secretary has power to deposit such
portion of this S3OO,OOO,OOO as he may
choose in national banks which haye
been designated as national repositories,
and being there deposited they would at
once enter into circulation.
"There is in the treasury about 14O,-
100000 ounces OF silver bullion, for which
treasuary notes have been issued and no
standard silver dollars have been coined
with which to redeem them. The secre-
tary of the treasury is therefore at lib
erty to direct that these 14O.OOO,OOO
ounces be coined into standard silver
dollars. The profits or seignorage which
would accure to tie United States would
at once avail for use by the treasury.
That would give the treasury profit of
upward of 550,0OO,OOO.

TALK OF THE TOWN.

Ira Myers returned from the east Sat-
urday, whittier he went to attend the
great silver convention at Chicago. In
conversation with TRIBUNE reporter
Mr. Myers said: 1.-THE silver meeting was
wonderful one and some OF the great
est men in the country we're there and
took part. Senators Stewart of Nevada
and Reagan of Texas are patriarchs in
appearance aud in intellect, and it was
great treat to hear them speak. There
were young men too who made fine
impression-such men as Patterson and
Thomas OF Colorado, for instance. Per-
feet unanimity and great enthusiasm
prevailed. Most Of the time was de-
voted to business and very little to
speech making, but every speech that
was made was telling one. Reagan
and Stewart were simply magnificent
and unanswerable. "Yes, l believe that
a free coinage bill will be pissed. The
only way it can be defeated will be by
corruption. This will be attempted and
there is very large fund ready for the
purpose now. The fund, indeed, will
amount to millions. 1t is easy for the
anti-silver men to raise few millions TOR
this purpose because they can soon
make it back by manipulating the
money market if they can prevent the
remonetizatlon of silver.
Everybody criticises the presidents
message, and the republicans seem to
like it better than the democrats. 1t is
certainly a very weak state paper, espec
tally in its reference to the tariff. This
pleases the republicans because they say
it shows MIR. Cleveland is afraid to touch
the tariff. AS a matter of fact all this
financial trouble has come from the
tariff and from nothing else. Hundreds |
and perhaps thousands of manufacturing
concerns have shut down all over the |
country on account of the uncertainty |
that prevails. No reports have been
made OF nine-tenths of them. Relief can
only come from free coinag,

Receivers of suspended banks are often
blamed by disappointed depositors and
shareholders because they refuse to give
information as to the time and basis of
settlement of the banks whose affairs
they are closing up. Mr.. Phelps, re-
ceiver of the Merchants National, ex-
planned to TRIBUNE man yesterday
why such information cannot be given.
1t is simply because the comptroller
gives strict orders that nothing can be
said about a suspended banks affairs
except what comes from his office. There
are many reasons why this is necessary.
In the first place after bank has closed
its doors rumors are circulated which
alarm those holding certificates and
they offer to sell them for a fraction of
their face value. "Skinners" with lit
tie money would be glad to reap the har-
vest thus offered if they haG some way
of ascertainng the probable outcome of
the banks affairs. For this reason the
receivers must be mum, and it is to the
interest of depositors that they should be
so.
