Special to the REcoRD-UNroS.

SANTA BARBARA, March 9.-The trans
continental freight agents have practi-
caIly decided that there will not be nany
changes made i'll the east-bound rates.
The other matters will in all probability
be completed this week. AS to who shall
become Secretary Of the Transcontinental
Freight Rates Committee, nothing has
yet been decided. Several names have
been proposed, but probably he will be
Chicago man. No agreement for the
establishment of the new association has
been signed yet. The only action in that
direction was the resolution adopted yes
terday. No disagreement has come ND
as yet, and it looks hopeful for the carry
ing out of the project. The interests of
the Sunset line and roads out of Chicago
were in opposition to each other in some
things, but all differences arising from
this fact seemingly have cen settled.
The agents expect to complete the adjust
ment OF rates tomorrow, and other mat
ters will then be taken up.

fend their claims.
The first bloodshed occurred this morn
ing, when Little Face, Crow Indian.

drive off settler named Henderson
They succeeded at first, but Henderson
returned with friends. The Indians con-
gregated and sent Little Face forward tn
tell Henderson that if he stayed on the
land twenty-four hours he would be
killed. Henderson said he would not
move, and Little Face whistled and a
gang of Indians poured out of the woods.
At the same time Little Face reached for
his gun, but Henderson was too quick
for him and shot him through the heart.
With a yell the other Indians disap-
peared into the woods.
The Crows are making medicine and
preparing for actual warfare.

Concerted Plan to Break From the
State Prison Frustrated.
Boston, March S.-A concerted plan of
convicts to break from the State Prison
in body was frustrated. The prisoners
had been supplied by secret means with
nearly 100 revolgers. The plan was to
kill any one who opposed them. Infor-
nation reached the officials in season to
balk their scheme. Discipline is said to
have been utterly lax, the convicts
dominating the officers. The pistols had
been furnished them at $40 each by some
one.
Governor Russell is acting as Warden
at the State Prison to-day. He will per-
sonally oversee the search of the prison
for weapons. The convicts will be locked

Gavvey planned the robberies. dis

in private consultation with President
Cleveland at the White House this morn

When Hill entered the Presidents
room word was sent out that Cleveland
was very busy and could not see any vis-
itors for some time. The interview, of
course, was of a strictly private character,
but from the fact that it was previously
arranged and from its length, there can
be little doubt it was more than of mere
ofiicial-social character. When Hill fin
