A BIG FUSS
Over a Very small Ute Matter Was
Raised ed-H0wgate In COurt-Steve
Elkins as O SilverIte.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-General Scho-
field has received the preliminary report
from Colonel H. W. Lawton, inspector
general, making special investigation
sf the Ute Indians who left their reserva-
ton in Colorado and crossed into Utah.
Colonel Lawton says that the Indians
acted according to their habits and Gus
tom and had crossed the line thinking
that they had perfect right to do so and
with NO hostile purpose whatever. They
had no intention of troubling the white
people, and according to Colonel Lawton
the oldest and best residents of the ooun-
try thus innooently invaded never had
any apprehension Of trouble. Colonel
Lawton adds that the number of Indians
has been greatly exaggerated and that
they are now returning to the reservation
as rapidly as the severity of the weather
permits.

who resigned his seat in the United States

says that he expects to take his seat

January, 1892, and which begins March,
1895, if at that time his health is as good
as it is now.
THE HOwGATE CASE ON TRIAL.
Captain Henry Howgate, ex-disbursing
officer of the signal service, was ar
raigned to-day before the district su-
preme court on three indictments. His
counsel, Jere Wilson, and A. 8. Worthing-
ton, pleaded irregular proceeding by the
grand jury. They asked that the indict-
ments be quashed on the ground that the
United States grand jurors had consider
ed statements made by persons not
swern as witnesses or otherwise qualified
to testify, and that none had any personal
knowledge Of the matters considered.
RETALIAToRY MEASURES.
The tariff differences between Spain
and the United States are being watched
with keen interest by other sugar produc-
ing countries, particularly Hawaii and
Brazil, as the execution of Secretary
Gresham's threat to discriminate against
Cuban products will create heavy de-
mand for raw sugar, now brought almost
exclusively from Cuba.
Unless the Spanish government within
q short time indicates its purpose to re-
move the restrictions now placed on
American commerce with the Spanish
