INCOMPATIBLE RESERVATION.

Argument of Counsel for the Gibson As
phaltum Company in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Secretary Hoke
Smith today heard argument of counsel
upon the application of the ellison As
phaltum company for the restoration of
two of the most easterly tiers OF the town
ship now included in the Uncompahgre
reservation in Utah. 1t was the conten-
ton of counsel that these Indians hold
the lands they occupy by sufferance only
and therefore neither they nor the secre-
tary of the interior has any right to lease
any part of them for mining or any other
purpose. They argued that the only way
in which asphalt deposits in the reserva-
ton can be rendered accessible is by re-
storing the land to the public domain,
and that power to restore the lands by
executive proclamation is beyond ques-
ton.
At the conclusion of the argument the
secretary announced that he had serious
doubts as to his authority to execute
mining leases on this reservation, and in
any event would not do so. He thought
it probable that he would send COM
munication to Congress on the question
of opening the reservation or part of it to
settlement.

a Mob.
GILBERToN, Pa, Aug. 22.-The tear
ing up of the Schuylkill Traction COM

men taken on at Girardville, members of
the National guard, who had with them
rifles belonging to the company.
While the railway officials engaged in a
conversation with the borough officers
some of the crowd tainted the men on
board the car, and called out, ''Where's
the Girardville miljtiaP' John Briggs of
Girardville stepped out and said, .fHere
we are, - and fired into the crowd, killing
Richard Paifit. Chief Amour and
President Jones had settled the trouble
and Briggs shot over Amour shoulder.
This Immediately engaged the people
and stones were thrown, shots from the
car became general and for a while
battle ragged. Chief Amour, while trying
to stop the fight was fatally shot by one
of his men. In addition to Paifit., Will
liam Hughes, aged 10, of Gilberton,
was killed. Richard Connors and Evan
David were shot and seriously wounded.

Italian Officials Suspended for Failing to
Maintain Order.
ROME, Aug. 22.-The Italian govern
ment is taking steps to punish the ofic-
ials who are held responsible for not pre-
venting the rioting against the French in
this city. Today Signor Giolitti, the
prime minister and minister OF the in
terror, issued decree ordering the sus-
pension from Office of Senator Galenda.
project OF Rome, Signor Sandri, chief OF
police, and Signor Mainetti, inspector OF
police In the district in which the French
embassy is situated. The decree stated
that the suspension of those officials is
due to their failure to maintain order.
The popular ferment arising from the
Aignes-Mortes affair shows no sign of
subsiding. The agitation is spreading in
The provinces. At Milazzo, on the north
coast of Sicily, mob last night paraded
the streets and acted in most disorderly
manner. Every window in the French
consulate was broken and the escutcheon
of France over the door way was torn
down.
There was a renewal OF rioting at Genoa
today. The agitation in Genoa, though
nominally directed against the French, is
said to be actually the work of anarch-
lists.
According to semi-official announces
ment this evening the minister of foreign
affairs instructed the Italian ambassador
to France to inform the French govern
ment that in view of its spontaneous dis
missal OF the mayor of Aigue-Mortes,
and placing confidence in the efficient
and impartial action OF the French magis-
tracy, he is happy to consider the in
cident satisfactorily closed.
This evening crowds rioted in the
streets of Naples and Turin, tore down
French signs and threatened the French
residents.

THE GEARYSLAW.
China Will Retaliate Unless Congress
Modifies the Law

Modlfies the Law.
CLEVELAND, Aug. pa gentleman
in this city has just received from friend
in Tien Tsin, China, letter stating that
United States Consul Bowman, who lef
that city short time ago for the United
States carried with him g message from
Viceroy Lii HUG Chang to President
Cleveland, in which the viceroy states
that he appreciates the good Intentions
of the president and secretary of state
and thanks them for their effort to secure
kind and just treatment of Chinese re-
siding in the United States. He feels
keenly the unfriendly nature and injus-
tice of the Geary law but China will take
no action thereon until after the next
session of the United States Congress in
hops that the Geary law may be modified
or repealed.
If the next Congress decides to enforce
the law, China will at once retaIiate, the
friendly relations between tie two coun-
tries will be broken off, and laws will be
enacted toward the expulsion of all Amer
leans from China. In the meantime in
structions will have been issued to all
Chinese officials to take especial care to
protect all American citizens living in

AMERICAN BANKERS.
Their Annual Convention Postponed
Want the sherman Law Repealed.

Their Annual Convention Postponed
Want the Sherman Law Repealed.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The American
Bankers association is now issuing cir
cular to all banks and bankers in the
United States stating that the extraordi-
nary monetary crisis has constrained the
association to postpone the annual con-
vention called for the 9th and 18th prox.
at Chicago. This will prevent such ex-
preston upon the part OF the association
as the financial situation demands, and
the officers feel it incumbent upon them
to speak for the association. They say
it is manifest that the immediate cause Of
the prolonged stringency is fear and ap
prehension OF disaster engendered in the
minds of the people by the continued pur-
chase of silver by the government and by
the unceasing issue of it's obligations
therefor redeemable in gold which fear and
apprehension can only be removed and
confidence restored by removal of the
cause. 1t is believed that the bankers of
the country will understand and realize
this to as great if not to greater extent
than any other class of citizens and it
therefore becomes such OF them as fully
realize this to urge upon their fellow
citizens and upon Congress the great ne
cesslty for the immediate and uncon-
ditional repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman silver act.
The repeal of this clause is demanded
in the interests of those favoring the use
of silver with gold as the continued pur-
chase of enormous quantities of silver
with gold obligations can only result in
the final inability of the gov
eminent to redeem such obliga-
tions in gold and continued over
production and consequence of further
depreciation of silver thus rendering the
prospect of any international agreement
for its more general use throughout the
world more hopeless than at the present.
A blank form of petition is enclosed to be
circulated among merchants, business
men and others.

PAYING IN CHECKS.

The Evansville and Terre Haute Unable
to obtain Currency.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Aug. o. The
Evansville and Terre Haute monthly pay
car reached here today week late. In
place of cash the envelopes contained
checks, with note to the men that the
company was compelled to this mode of
payment owing to the scarcity of cur
rency and refusal of New York banks to
ship west. They hope the condition of
affairs will be SO changed by next month
that they can resume paying in currency.
The men tried to discount the checks in
the banks and with merchants, but in
most instances failed and there was much
indignation. The switchmen struck as
result and all freight is at standstill in
the yards. A general meeting of train
men is being held to consider the matter
tonight.

Gw YORK, Aug. 22.-The Wond will
PRINT tomorrow opinions from a number
of western governors upon the PROPOSE
ton of commercial division OF the
United States. The World telegraphed
each OF the governors of the western
states these questions:
First-What do you think of the petit
tion of the Kansas officials for CONNER
cial division between the west and east?
Second-What will be the result of the
proposed convention of governors to con-
slider this?
Governors Stone of Missouri, Lewelling
of Kansas and Pennoyer OF Oregon
boldly favor the convention. Others
heard from oppose it.
Governor McGraw Of Washington says
any man who proposes a secession of
states is as much traitor today as in
1861.
Governor Nelson of Minnesota ex-
presses the same sentiment.
Governor Boies of Iowa says it is I'M
wise and does not think any considerable
number OF governors would attend such
convention.

PITTsBURG, Kas.. Aug. 22.-As result
of the citizens mass meeting last night,
thirty armed deputies made up from the
best citizens of Pittsburg, led by deputy
sheriff, went to the front entrance of the
city shaft this morning to protect the men
who had signed contracts and wanted to
go to work for the Santa Fe company.
Soon afterward President Walters OF the
miners union and about 400 men marched
out to the shaft to intercept the workmen,
but were headed off.
The wives of strikers and the men who
want to work fought with each other,
one woman said: ssWe have rot cent in
the house and not bite to eat. My hus-
band wants to work to get bread for me
and my children, but those men (point-

Present indications are that while the
strike may be considered practically over,
there are prospects of considerable an
noyance and trouble ahead, as Walters
