Montana Has an Elephant in n Band of
Canadian Indians.
HELENA, Mon, June 27.-[Special i
A band of Cree Indians have been camped
in Silver Bow county since last winter
and could not be moved back to Canada
where they belong on account OF small
pox having broken out among them.
Now that the disease has been eradicated,
the county authorities have called upon
the governor to deport the Indians to
Canada.
Acting Governor Botkin finds that the
state has no authority to move in such
matters, all regulations of Indian affairs
being vested in the general government.
He has called the attention OF the author
tiles at Washington to the case. The
Canadian authorities have already agreed
o receive and care Tor the Indians if they
are brought as far as the boundary line,
and this is what the state wants the gen
eral government to attend to.

Sixth Annual Meeting of the League at
Saratoga-Letters of Regret.
SARATOGA, N. Y, June 27.-The sixth
annual convention of the state league OF
Republican clubs met here today. Secre-
tary Hedges read a letter of regret from
ex-President Harrison, ex-Vice- president
Morton and Whitlaw Reid. Mr.. Harri-
son said: 81 hope the meeting will be
successful and think | may add without
transgressing the properties that there is
nothing in the present business situation
to suggest any great gain to the country
as a result of the inauguration OF Demo-
cratic politics.
In letter Whitlaw Reid said: ssYou
find the country in an unfortunate con-
dition. Your duty is to do everything to
help the president and Congress
relieve the situation and our party
is not unfaithful to that duty.
But while Loyalty cooperating
to meet existing dangers we must not be
charged with creating them. The de-
mand of the hour now as it has been
since the 4th of last March is to end the
uncertainty and let business men know
where they stand. A delay for six months
or more argues in its behalf extraordinary
confidence in the superior wisdom of the
executive in meeting crisis or extraor-
binary fear of what Democratic Congress
might do.'
After reading the secretary's annual re-
port the convention unanimously adopted
the report of the committee on resolu-
lions reaffirming the doctrines of the Re-
publican party and touching on state
matters.

this afternoon a gang of convicts en-
ployed in the upper quarry next to the
headgate of the big dam, consisting of
George Sontag, life timer, and Cousin
of John Sontag, of Sontag and Evans,
Russell Williams, Ben Wilson and
Charley Abbott, and q ten year convict
named Dalton, suddenly seized Frank
Briare lieutenant OF the guard, put a
pistol to his head and started together to
run up the hill. Before reaching the top
of the hill it was developed that they had
two Winchesters and an additional re-
volver which had been concealed among
the rocks.
Up to this time the guards had been
unable to shoot AS Briare was in the
grasp of the would-be escapes, and as
they were closely banded together, a shot
might mean death to him. Just before
reaching the summit of the hill Briare
jerked away and the guards opened fire
from all directions. The convicts took to
the rocks, concealed themselves as best
they could and returned the fire as rapidly
as possible.
The regular deputies were soon rein
forced by reserves from the prison and a
terrific fight took place which lasted fully
half an hour during which time shots
were fred indescriminately from Calling
guns, Winchesters, rifles and reyolvers as
rapidly as the triggers could be pulled.
At the end of about thirty minutes one
OF the convicts held up his hat on a rifle
as token of surrender and Warden Aull,
Captain Murphy and a few guards ad-
vanced to the convicts' stronghold where
they found Williams, Wilson and Dalton
stretched dead on the ground; George
Sontag was badly wounded by three or
four bullets; he had one bad shot through
the body and two through the thigh, and
Abbott was groanfng with a broken leg.
AT the beginning of the fight two pris-
oners were wounded but we're immedi-
ately carried into the prison by the other
convicts, and at the time the news was
sent it was not known who they were.
None of the prisoners escaped, nor were
any OF the guards Injured in the scrim-
mage.
Warden Aull speaks in the highest
terms of the bravery displayed by the
guards, saying that they all stood up man
fully not one showing the white feather.

THE CABINET MEETING.
A Two-Hours Discussion on the Subject
The Conclusions Reached.


The Conclusions Reached.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Two hours
was consumed by the cabinet today dis
cussing the new phase of the silver ques-
ton and other matters demanding atten-
ton. The conferences yesterday afternoon
and evening between the president and
Secretary Carlisle simplified the matter to
some extent. Although the discussion
took wide range, it was necessarily
brought back to one important unman-
ageable point, viz, that the executive had
no power IN the premises, Congress alone
being able to deal with measures for re-
lief. 1t was plain to the cabinet that the
purchase of silver must be continued or
Congress must be convened in special ses-
SION Immediately. AS the president has
decided to call Congress together in the
early part OF September to deal with the
financial situation, and having mani
tested no intention of changing his stated
purpose, the project of an earlier session
OF Congress 1t is understood was dropped.
80 Tar as the continuance of the pur-
chase OF silver bullion and the Sherman
law IS concerned, it was pointed out that
little more than two months remained
before Congress would convene in extra
session, and that during the intervening
time the silver lots purchased would be
only 1000, 600 ounces, a comparatively
small amount in view o; previous pur-
chases, and that the best way to deal with
the question was to await the course of
events two months longer was generally
agreed to. and it was with this view DOM
lnant that the meeting adjourned.

Harvard which has been recorded in col
lege sporting annals here in a long time.
1t was a fine fielding contest and was
won by Yale, who out fie1ded and out
batted the others completely, the scoring
however was all punched. For seven in
nings a fruitless battle ragged. Not a
Harvard man and but two Yale men had
reached third base till the eighth inning,
but Harvard even then retired without
scoring.
Yale went to first on a safe hit and a
passed ball placed them on second. MUIR
phy knocked out a second single and Car
ter trotted to third. AS Murphy stole
second the applause became terrific.
Mason dropped the ball and Carter slid
under with first run of the game. The
Highlanders lost their head and threw
the ball to the center field and all the base
runners crossed the plate. and the scene
which followed is beyond description.
When quiet was restored the remaining
Yale batsmen went out in order. AS the
series now stands the decisive game will
be played in New York city ON Saturday

VIEWED IN NEW YORK.
The Outlook Is Somewhat Brighter Than
for Day OF Two Past.


for Day or Two Past
NEW YORK, June 27.-WhiIe, accord
Ing to bank officers today, there is no
change of conditions to warrant any
marked increase in the stock exchange
prices, there are not lacking reports OF a
character calculated to inspire confidence,
as well as some facts which justified the
belief that the outlook was brighter to-
day than yesterday. The rate of exchange
amply warranted the import of gold if
there is enough exchange obtainable ct
the figures quoted, but it is not believed
enough bills are offering to cause imports
OF gold at this time.
The sub-treasury paid out a; large
amount of interest today, its debtor bal
ance at the clearing house this morning
exceeding 8, ; 400, 900, most of which was
for interest.
Early this morning S20,0 900 in gold was
deposited at the sub-treasury for tele-
graphic transfer to San Francisco, and it
IS expected that 500, 900 more will be sent
in the same way. 1t was said also that
there were some inquiries for similar
\ transfers of money to New Orleans. No
currency shipments to the country were
reported al the subtreasury today, but
the banks shipped $500, 900 and 800, 900 to
San Francisco direct, and also various
mall sums to banks in Buffalo.
Indications are that currency is return
ing to this city from the west. One bank
received S250, 900 from q bank in Chicago
today. Generally speaking bankers to-
day reported the financial situation some
what easier everywhere, but qualified the
statement by saying the demands for re-
discount, while no larger, were very gen.
eraI all over the country. No clearing
house certificates were issued today.
Very serious affairs developed in Phila-
delphia, as several big banks there are
practically unable to remit to banks in
this city the balances due them for re-
silttances and Philadelphia exchange was
practically at premium today in this
city. Philadelphia banks say they are
unable to procure New York exchange,
and cannot get gold or currency to ship.
One bank in this city has $500, 600 locked
up in three Philadelphia banks in that
city. Of course it could send down
there and demand the cash, but it is I'M
willing to do so. The probability is that
there will be a larger issue of clearing
house certificates in Philadelphia in day
or two and then balances due in New
York Will. it is presumed, be paid. In
the meantime, however, business men
having drafts on Philadelphia will not be
able to get credit for them here except at
q pretty large discount.

THE vIoERoY EXPLAINS.
His Address to the Indian Council on til
Bill Stopping Coinage.

His Address to the Indian Council on the
Bill Stopping Coinage.
SIMLA, June 27.-In explaining to the
Indian council the bill providing for the
stoppage of free coinage of silver, the
adoption of which was announced yester-
day, the Marquis of LandsdoWue, viceroy
of India, said he hoped the government
would not be criticised for disposing of
the important question at single sitting.
The keynote of the scheme was rather to
prevent further fall in exchange than to
raise the value of a rupee. The fixing of
provisional rate of exchange at 1s 4d.,
provided means of preventing the closing
of the minis and violent dis
turbing of exchange rates. The rate
oil exchange has been fixed
high enough to relieve the government of
its most pressing necessities, and while it
was well within the limits of recent f1uc-
tuatlons, there should be no mistake, the
viceroy said, about the facts. 1t was not
proposed to substitute gold for silver cur
rency. No attempt would be made at
present to fix legal tender price for gold,
and while the ratio of value was men
TONED 1t was only provisional.
In conclusion the viceroy expressed the
governments sense of the gravity of the
step it was about to take. Personally he
was averse to all attempts to give money
commodities fictitious value, but the
time had arrived when to remain Inactive
was impossible. The government would
be unworthy of the name if it lett things
alone 1t had not taken this momentous
step with light hearts; he hoped its action
would be fruitful in good results and
that sufficient reserve OF gold wonld be
accumulated to make an effective gold
standard possible.

Two Young Girls of San Francisco Cap
ture a Shark.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Anna Miller
and Sarah Thornton, 14-year-old girls
living on Bluxome street, went fishing at
Beale street wharf this afternoon and had
novel experience. The girls did not ex-
pect to catch anything larger than small
catfish and were having lots of fun until
Anna got bite that made her turn pale
and scream for help. Her companion
ran to her assistance and the task of
hauling in the line began. Several times
the wet line which they had hauled was
pulled through their hands, but the girls
pluckily stuck to their task and were at
last rewarded by seeing the head OF a
shark appear above the water.
The captive made "a hard fight for free
dom, but the line was stout one and
the girls took turn with it around
mooring post and waited. After half an
hours struggle the shark gave up the
fight, and then assisted by an apprentice
from an English ship the young anglers
landed their prize on the wharf, where it
was quickly dispatched. The shark
measured #. / in. long and weighed 70
pounds. This is about the first instance
on record in San Francisco where shark
has been captured by a couple of young
girls, and they are proud of their skill
with the hook and line.

FORT DOUGLAS SHOOTING.
The View Taken by the War Department
on the Case.

WASHINGTON, June 27. Especial. J.
Application has been made to the secre-
tasy of war to permit the United States
district attorney to defend Sergeant Linse
and while no action has yet been taken,
it is believed here that the secretary will
recommend such proceedings to the at
torney general. No move has been made
in either department toward turning the
case over to the civil authorities.
Government officials, and particularly
the war department people, hold, in con-
versations had with them by THE HERALD
correspondent, that Linse and the other
man implicated in the killing of Leonard
have the right of defense, from the fact
that they are army people and because
the fatal shot was not the first enc fired.
They had, it is claimed, ordered Leonard
to stop, but he kept on and besides. had

charged with Staying Joe Leonard. The
colonel's Instructions are, in effect, to
hold the prisoners and not turn them over
to the civil authorities, except it be upon
an order from an United States court,
the intention being to try the men by
court martial.
As the grand jury is not in session, the
plan of the military authorities will
doubtless be carried out, although United
States Attorney Judd and County Attor-
ney Murphy are anything but satisfied
with the status of the case.
1t is held that while an Indictment has
been found, no order for the custody of
Linse and Sheffield can be made by the
United States court.

The British Ship Derbyshire Wrecked In
Mid Ocean.
SAN DIEGO, June 27.-Captain E. J.
Jones and eleven men of the abandoned
British ship Derbyshire, bound from Tai
cahuano for the United Kingdom, ar
rived at this port today on the collier
Port Patrick, Captain Anton, who picked
them up in latitude 53 degrees 81 minutes
south and longitude 81 degrees 40 minutes
west on May 1.
The vessel had been at the mercy of the
tempest for five days, during which time
a great portion of her cargo had been
thrown overheard to tighten the ship.
The wheel was smashed to pieces and
nothing could be done to save the ship,
which was fast sinking when the Port
Patrick came in sight. None of the crew
were lost. The rest of the men were
taken on board by the Andrina OF Liver
pool, from Cardiff for Santa Rosalia, as
Captain Anton was afraid his fresh water
would not hold out for DO many men.
The Derbyshire was loaded with wheat
and was built in Liverpool thirty years
ago, and owned at the time of her loss by
@. II. Rhees, of Carnarvon, Wales.
