SDr. Talmage's sermon
The Portland daily press., 1893-04-29

DENVER, Col, April 2S.-This morn
ing Adjutant General Kennedy received
a telegram from Lieut.. Plummer, Indian
agent for the Navajos. in which he stated
that eight white men had been murdered
by the Navajo Indians, who are at war
with the settlers He declared the sit
uation very critical and asked that troops
be called out to prevent further blood
shed. Lieut.. Plummer said the people
below Durango were in wild state Of
excitement, and grave fears were enter
tanned lest the Indians should continue
the warfare along the valley. The mes
sage stated two battles had been fought.
The first occurred early yesterday, when
five men were killed, all settlers. At an
other encounter, three whites lost their
lives. Further bloodshed was antici-
pated.
The adjutant general forwarded the
information to the War Department.
at Washington. Adjutant General Ken
nedy expressed his belief that the trouble
would not extend very far north. He
said that 250 bucks were raising the dis
turbance. They were all mounted and
equipped with the best repeating rifles
and had ample supplies for a long war.
There had beenill feeling among them
for a long time. The settlers in that
country and the Indians never could get
along in peace. The Indians were CON
tinually plundering and stealing from
the whites. The present conflict was
precipitated by the resistance of the
whites to the depredations of a band of
warriors who raided the stock of cattle
men. They drove off large herd of cat
tie to the mountains and the stockmen
organized a large posse of cowboys and
went to recover the cattle. The Indians
fed on the approach of the,
cowboys who secured the cattle and start
ed to return to their ranches. They had
proceeded but a short distance when
they were attacked from the flank as
they were passing through a shallow
canon by the entire band of 250. A des-
perate encounter followed. Five cow
boys were killed and it is believed a
number of Indians. The cattlemen
were finally repulsed. They took with
them part of the cattle and retreated.
The Indians, now thoroughly aroused,
started on marauding expedition across
the country.
The reservation of the Navajos covers
10000 square miles in the northwestern
part of New Mexico and northeastern
Arizona and extends to the southern
line of Colorado. On this there are
thousands of Indians liable to go on the
war path. A band of 250left the reser-
walton in Arizona, crossed into New Mex
leo and went east to a town called Jen-
net on the Juan River and are now in
the vicinity Of that city.
A despatch from Durango says:
'Three hundred Navajos captured Tom
Whites trading post mission at Hog
Back, on the San Juan river. The
homes of other settlers are surrounded
by the Indians, who are threatening to
kill and burn. James Hand arrived
from the scene of action, about 70 miles
south of Durango, this morning, and af-
ter securing ammunition for the settlers
resurned at once. Agent Bartholomew
has wired the Indian department regard
ing the situation this morning, but as
the Navajos are beyond his jurisdiction,
he can do nothing"

In their Snowy Dress Uniforms.
They were led by the Marine Band. In
the second, third and fourth battalions
were Uncle Sans blue jackets, from all
of her ships in ports.
The second division was the one that
interested the crowds on the street more
than any other. 1t contained the sailors
of the visiting fleets, and the marines of
Great Britain and Holland, the only two
nations represented beside our own ma
rines First came the troops of Her
Majesty the Queen. There were officers
and men, $50 all told. Captain Hamilton
of the Blake, was in charge of the bat
TALON. The marines were resplendent
inred jackets, blue trousers with mar
row red stripe down the side, and black
helmets topped with gilt. The band
from the Blake led them. The British
artillerymen wore black jackets, blue
trousers, with wide stripe down the
side, and little dinky caps, with yellow
band and strap under lthe chin. Her
Majesty blue jackets wore their regula-
tion blue sailor SHIRT, opened low at the
neck, blue trousers, very tight at the hip
and verys wide atthe ankle, and light
straw hats. The Britons marched with
precision and looked neither to the right
nor left. They were cheered as they
passed the reviewing stands and when
ever they wheeled to turn corner.
Following the British came Argentine's s
representatives from the Nuevo de Julio.
They were less than 100 in number, and
wore dark blue shirts, with white braid
on the collar, and blue trousers. The
officers wore long blue coats, blue
trousers and caps with long front pieces.
The Russian vessels sent $50 men and
Is officers. The battalion was in charge
of Commander Stemman and was in
three companies. The
Band From the Rynda
accompanied them. The uniform was of
blue, with white and blue striped shirts
and white caps, on the bands of which
was the name in Russian of the ship to
which the men belonged. The men
carried muskets with bayonets fixed.

promise to net an average of 70 or 20 cents
per busbel, or a total of 1925, 600, 600. This
list is about ope-half the prospective value
Of the cotton crop Of 1898, reckonsd at $50
per bale The cotton crop will be harvested
on fewer ncres than last year. As large or a
larger breadth was planted to this staple, but
the inability of planters to borrow money
enough to work the crop, together with the
drouth floods and worms, aud the still
greater difficulty of getting money for pick
ing, combine to severely curtail the pro-
duction. August indications point to "a
crop not exceeding Z 800, 900 bales with fa-
vorablo weather, and very much less than
that il insects and climate are unfavorable.
This means crop of about the same amount
as last year. aud nearly 1000, 600 bales less
than the great g. 000, 900 bale crop of 1891.
On the whole the outlook is very encour-
aging, and with the farmer prosperous there
will be better times all along the line.

" ho Ovnsthe Savings Bank "

To the Editor of the Free Press
have read with a good deal of interest
the article in the FREE PRESS on the hnan-
cial standing Of the Burlington Savings
bank, showing, as 1t does, thai the depositors
are not only safe, but that there Is also a
very large surplus on hand.
This leads me to make some inquiries
that am, and perhaps others are, more or
less interested in.
President Smith is reported as saying
"Our renl estate loans are all safe aud
secure. The law allows us to loan only up
to 60 per cent of the cash value of the
property and we keep within that limit.
"Our personal loans arc amply secure,
and our interest has been paid with remark
able promptness. Our resources sutll-
cient to pay all our depositors and leave q
surplus Of over $500, 600. "
As suppose it to be a matter that is left
discretionary with tho officers of the bank,
| will not raise the question whether, or
not, it is necessary to keep so large a sur
plus on hand; but would like to know
this in regard to it, IL the officers of the
bank should see fit to close out its business,
with this $500, 600 surplus on hand which
has been accommodating ever since the bank
was organized, whose money would it be ?
Is there any law which provides for its dis
tribution, and if go, what is 1t?
confess my own ignorance in regard to
this and there may be others as much in
the dark as am ~
Willston, Aug. 26, '03.
The legal owners of the Savings bank arc
the depositors. There are no stockholders;
aud the officers represent the depositors.
| The general Vermont statute relating to the
subject provides that when savings bank
is wound up, its assets shall be divided
equally among the creditors. The creditors,
after the salaries and running expenses of
the bank are paid, are the depositors. OF
course after a depositor withiraws his de-
/ post he ceases to b. creditor. IL the banl
were to close out Its business-which could
only be done except in case of insolvency
of the institution by direction of the cor
poraton, which represents tie legal owner
the surplus would be divided among tn,
depositors who are such at that time.
Our laws carefully guard the interests o
the depostors. No officer of a savings banl
can borrow money OF the bank, directly O.
indirectly, and the requirements as to ex
aminations and reports are such that n
savings bank has ever become insolven
in this State.

From Massachusetts, comes the news that
Hon. John +. Russell OF Leicester will prob
ably be- the candidate Of the Bay State dem
ocracy this fall. Perhaps the managers
think that the magic charm of the name
will stand them in good stead and that
many voters will cast their ballots for any
one bearing the name of Russell. But there
is growing conviction that the old Bay
State is ready to return to the rule OF re-
publican governors and candidates for the
democratic nomination are very scarce. A
Boston Post reporter found Mr. Russell en-
gagged in the pleasant occupation OF cutting
off coupons from a handful of bonds. Mr..
Russell told the reporter that he considered
his tour OF Vermont last year OF some avail
because at Rutland the admission was by
ticket, and at Burlington man tainted in the
audience and was lifted up and carried over
heads so dense was the crowd. Mr.. Rus
sell is prolific campaign speaker and when
he says that stumping amounts to no more
than "the wind whistling through hen
COOP it must be admitted that the state
ment is authoritatively made.
