Wednesday we will have an interview
with the chiefs, at which it is hoped a
peaceable solution will be reached. Ig.

they seem determined to stay. The
tribe numbers about 900, and the settlers
have to feed them.
Last night the settlers OF the village
fed about 20 bucks and 40 ponies, the
hay fed to the ponies being worth 500
per ton. The Indians are impudent and
make demands on men and women.
They are eating the stock OF settlers and
rapidly devouring the winter pasturage
OF the whole country. Much euffering
will ensue unless the Indians are re-
moved at once.

THE MEAGHER MURDER.

Taking OF Testimony I'm the Trial OF
Mrs. Bryan Begun.
SANTA Ros A, CAL, Dec. 13.-The trial
of Mrs. Bryan. charged with numbering
her blind sister, Mrs. Nancy Meagher.
January 22d, was resumed before Judge
Crawford this morning. The court room
was crowded, many persons coming
from Petaluma and other places to hear
the proceedings.
Paul Valchestsr, who heard John
Meagher groaning the morning after
the tragedy and who went into the
house and found Mrs. Meaghsr's dead
body, was the first witness called. He
described the premises, the location OF
the dead woman and the condition OF
her clothing. His testimony did not
vary from the story told by him at the
preliminary examination.
Brad Stein, who took care OF Meagher
after the tragedy, was the next witness.
He said he was going home the night
OF the tragedy, when he heard two shot.
gun reports. He did not see anv body
nor lights in Mrs. Bryan's house, which
is near the scene Of the murder. He
testified to finding tracks under a bridge
about 800 yards hom the Meagher
place. They were made by two persons
wearing email shoes and one wearing
large, sqasre-toed shoes. He never
measured tracks made by Mrs. Bryan,
Mrs. Fowler or OF John Lee Bryan, the
three persons accused of the murder.
Witness was rigidly orosssexamined,
but it did not shake hls testimony.

by non-union men.
Many delegates expressed regret at
the necessity OF taking action against
this periodical. which lie regarded as a
very able exponent OF labor doctrines,
and the matter was finally referred to
the executive council, with instructions
to declare the boycott only after all

probable that the opponents OF the

they find themselves outn bered, try

Governor Waite will not appear be-

that owing to the great press Of work
he would not be able to prepare an ad-

forth his views on some of the matters

which lie to be considered at 10 O'Clock

THE DIVORCE INDUSTRY.
A Big Business Done BY Judge McCol

Big Business Done BY Judge Melon
nell at Fargo, N. d.
TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 13.-Edmund
Stover of Fargo, N. D., who has re-
ported more celebrated divorce casee
during the past year than any other
man in the country, is touring the
northwest. Fargo, he saws, has grown
to be the Mecca which the unhappy
married people OF the country seem
bent on reaching. In talking on the
subject of divorc es in North Dakota, be
said:
THE general public has little idoa OF
the magnitude of this infant industry.
The number OF pilgrims reaches start-
ling figures. A careful estimate made
recently after visit to ali the lawyers
in the city, places the number serving
time preparatory to filing actions for
separation at upwards OF 80.
"These people are mostly residents OF
the east-New York and Boston fur
nishing the largest contingent. Nat
urally they are pereons of wealth and
prominence, who prefer to journey to
lhe frontier to wash their dirty linen
Several ultra fashionable hotels and
boarding houses of Fargo accept no
patrons who are not members Of the
olony. The money spent in this city
by these seekers of single blessedness
reaches many thousands of dollars an
nuslly. To illustrate how diligently
The court is kept at work to dispose OF
This array of variegated cases: During
the hearing of the celebrated Hirsch.
field case, recently concluded. Judge
Mcconnell decided five other divorce
cases. They were heard at odd mo-
ments during the early morning and
noon houre."
Mr.. Slower says it must not be in
ferred that these pilgrims nominate
Fargo as their Mecca because the courts
of that city do not balance the scales of
justice evenly. The reason is that
under the constitution OF North Dakota
it requires but three months residence
for divorce.
Among the many caees soon to be
heard there is one which will shake
New York from center 10 circumference.
A prominent state official is the plain
tiff, with Bourke Cochran as his coun.
sel, and many leading New Workers are
i'm plicated.
Judge W. B. McConnell, upon whom
devolves the duty Of hearing these cas- 90,
is an unusually acute Judge. who has
established a wide reputation for the
justice OF his decisions. We're he not
exceptionally keen OF perception and
quick in judgment, he would have to
hold court day and night, the year
round, to hear them oil.

WAR DEPARTMENT REDUCTIONS.
About 800 Clerks to Go From One
Bureau Alone.

Reduced appropriations for the next fiscal
year will make large reductions necessary
In the clerical force of the War Department
On the lst OF July next. This is especially
the case with the record and pension office
as the business of that Office has been
steady growing less and less since the in
PRODUCTION of the card system. There will
be a reduction in this Office alone of nearly
300 clerks. Nearly 100 of this number
have already resigned or have been trans
ferred to other offices. The vacancies thus
created have not been filled. The force Is
still 100 in excess of the quota provided for
after the 1st of July next.
A dreadful rumor is in circulation that
Secretary Lamont has concluded to make
wholesale reductions in this Office, as we'll
as in others, to the rumber of about 300
within few weeks. In view of the hard
tines and the difficulty of securing other
employment, 1t has been suggested to the
Secretary that he defer making the con-
templated discharges at least until the 1st
of July next, when the next fiscal year be-
gins. The records of all the clerks Of the
War Department are being examined in
order to determine those who can be spared
with least injury to the service, and as a
consequence all are on the anxious bench
1t is understood that the plan of reductions
Is the result of 4 quie- investigation made
by the Secretary. and is in no wise due to
recommendations on the part of tine heads
OF the offices affected.

DEMOCRATS SETTLING DOWN
Will Accept the Protection Measure
Called the Tariff Bill.
What the Republicans VIII Probably
Decide at the Caucus to

The democrats Of both the House and
Senate appear to be settling down to an ac-
ceptance of the situation which will compel
them 10 take great deal of protection with
their tariff reform. The horse play which
mas been INDUCED in in the Senate during
the past two or three legislative days is
Ike the confused Tapping of wings made by
mock OF birds before lighting. The pros
pect or the passage Of a protection bill
through the Senate at an early date is
Frightening again. 1t is realized that the
Dill can be passed only as dictated by the
protection democrats, and that in order to
become law it must be accepted In SUBJ
stantia!ly the same form by the House.
There are few democrats of prominence

pied by Mr.. Mills in the Senate and who
declare that 1t would be better for no bill

gle.
1t is expected that at the conference con-
templated to be held at the residence of
senator Sherman tonight the republican
senators will decide to avoid any policy of
obstruction and permit a vote to be taken
on the compromise bill at an early date
provided the democrats will agree to stick
to the new protection bill In conference
There is no doubt about the intention of
the democratic Senators who have accepted
the compromise to stand by IL, and 1t is
well understood If they yielded in conference
their action would be repudiated in the Sem
ate. The situation appears to have come to
this, that most of the republicans are will
ing TO acknowledge that the bill as now pro-
posed Is a protective measure, and that as
such they can afford to let 1t pass, though
voting against 1t, but that they will not
permit its character to be again changed
when 1t goes to conference.
Some Want to Filibuster.
There are a few Senators on the republI-
can side. such Chandler Lodge Hoar
and Quay, who want to flibuster against
the bill. no matter what shape it comes in,
but the argument Is made on the other side
that such an opposition would give the lie
to their claim that the measure Is a repudi-
alton of free trade and full confession of
faith in protection. The democrats are
helpless and in a very accommodating
mood. and out of this situation 1t is easy
to see the possibility that the bill may be
put through the Senate soon. Its fate af-
terwards depends upon the readiness with
which the House yields. Every effort Is
being made to impress this upon the men,

GIVEN A DAY OF REST.
Brooklyn Handicap Candidates Were
Not Worked.

NEW YORK, May 14.-The horses in the
Brooklyn handicap were not worked today
as they have had their final preparation,
and they rest until tomorrow. Ajax was
out early for a short canter at low rate
of speed and now and again one of the 9TH
ers appeared for a few minutes, cantering
enough to keep their blood in circulation
Sir Walter was expected from Jerome
Park, but at 10 o'clock he had not put in an
appearance. His work has been done. how
ever and he will get nothing more than a
warming-up canter after his journey
The crowd at the track was larger than Is
usual on Monday morning, for they thought
that they would have a chance to see the
great son of Midlothian try the course. 1t
was the general opinion that 1t was q mis-
take on the part of Walter Rollins to delay
so long in sending his charge to the place
where the race is to be run, and the change
from the saddle bag track at Jerome Park
may affect his race.
All of the other candidates have been tried
on the track, and the favorite of the east
ern turfmen has not.
The wiseacres at the track were this
morning discussing BanQuets fine move
yesterday, ard one and all think that he
has good chance to win. Leonawell was
out and showed signs of lameness, which
did not wear off as he was cantered slowly.
1t has not been fully decided whether he
will be sent to the post, but the chances are
against it, Don Alonzo may be sent as a
pacemaker for Banquet, but he Is not con-
sidered as a factor by his owner.
All sorts of rumors are afioat, as is the
case generally before the race and 1t was
said that Clifford had gone amiss in one of
his legs, but no credence was placed in 1t
by those who had seen the horse. DIR. Rice
gets to be a stronger favorite as the time
of the race draws near. and from all that
could be learned, he did we'll yesterday, as

CONVENTION At CLEVELAND TODAY
Pittsburg Employers and Men Far
Apart.
THE CONFERENCE TOMORROW

CLEVELAND. Ohio, May 14.-Every
train arriving in this city during the night
and early hours Of the morning brought
delegates to attend the miners convention
today and the conference which takes place
tomorrow at the chamber of commerce be-
tween the miners and operators.
Very few operators put in an appearance
as early as did the miners delegates, but
large number of rooms have been re-
served for them at the various hotels. and
good-sized delegation will probably arrive
in the city by nightfall.
While it has been said the Pittsburg dis
trict operators have been insisting right
along that their men are willing to work
for So cents ton II they could be assured
protection, 1t was not long after the miners
had arrived before it became apparent that
so far as the delegates represent the feeling
or the strikers the men are not at all will
ing to return tor the same wages.
Secretary Z. j. Mcbride voiced the senti-
ments OF great many delegates when he
answered a suggestion as to a compromise
mo. SIR he said. I'VE did not come here
for a compromise, and thus far we have no
such word in our vocabulary. Nothing
short of what we ask will give the miners
living wages and for that We contend we
can hold out for three months, but we have
no desire to do so. For that reason we came
to this conference"
Mr. Mcbride would not for moment
consider the subject of a settlement in diff
ferent localities without referring to what
Is done elsewhere.
The only condition under which work
will be resumed" he continued, lis set
tlement for all the states, as was originally
announced"
The declaration means that the miners
and the operators Of the Pittsburg district
are as far apart as possible. The latter
decided at their conference in Pittsburg
on Friday that they would not participate te
In this conference. and, further, that they
would settle with their men without con-
sulting the officers Of the United Mine
Workers.
The feeling Of independence manifested
by the miners yesterday and in their small
caucuses early today does not appear to
indicate a settlement without friction. A
number of the delegates said that the con-
ference would be of very short duration
IL the operators insisted upon compromise.
The operators of mines in the Ohio fields
have all along signified their willingness to
make a settlement with their men through
their national organization, and the Pitts
serting that the Ohio operators are back
ing the strikers. hoping that the miners
will force the Pittsburgers to pay rate of
20 cents, which will give the Hooking VAL
ley and Jackson operators a differential
of IL IL cents ton In thetg favor,sG cents
being on the mining rate and ~ cents
on the freight rates. Gel.
The miners convention was called to
order by President John Mcbride At IL
o'clock In Bank Street Hall, with 200 dele
gates present. .-.....-.
After transacting routine business, the
convention adjourned until 2 o'clock, when
report from the scale committee will be
made.
