A VETO ANTICIPATED.
Opponents of the Bland SeigniOraEe
bill Say So.

Leading opponents of the pending Bland
bill for the coinage of the seigniorage ex-
pressed confidence that President Cleveland
The friends of the measure have also been
alive to this emergency and have discussed
the desirability of holding a caucus at which
mutual agreements could be made as to
amending the bill so that ii would avoid the
chances of a veto.
Representative Black of Georgia was in
strumental in getting up the caucus. He
said the primary purpose was to get vot-
ing quorum of democrats in the House. but
that, in the event of a caucus, the whole
scope Of the bill and the plans of perfecting
1t SO as to avoid congressional and execu-
tive friction would be considered. There
were prospects of caucus tonight, but
Mr. Black and Chairman Holman Of the
caucus committee say it will not be held.
although a sufficiently numerous call for 1t
has been prepared.
Among the anti-Silver men no exact in
formation can be secured to the report
that MIR. Cleveland will veto the bill. Mr..
Tracey IN. " who is one of the most
active in opposition, says he has no doubt
the bill will be vetoed. although he says he
has no direct information on the subject.
Mr.. Rayner md. another anti-silyer
leader expresses confidence in a veto, al
though he has heard OF no such purpose,
and does not think Mr.. Cleveland would ex-
press an opinion prior to the passage Of
the bill.
c. w. Stone CPa.), who wrote the adverse
report on the Bland bill, has no doubt the
President will veto the bill If 1t passes.

PURSUING CHRIS EVANS.
SheriTs Men Come Suddenly Ol

ShertTs Men Come Suddenly on
Him and Morrill,.
FRESNO, Cal. Feb. 9.-News comes from
the mountains Of Tulare county of another
encounter between Sheriff Scotts men and
the bandits. Chris Evans and Ed Morrill,.
Tuesday evening the sheriffs men dis
covered hidden trail on the mountain side
leading into an almost impenetrable thicket
Of manzanita, chapparel and scrub oak.
They could only follow the trail by crawling
on their hands and knees. After crawling
some distance they came suddenly upon a
hut hidden beneath an overhanging cliff.
There they saw Evans and Morrill,, both in
their shirt sleeves.
So surprised were the bandits that they
did not stop to fight. Both grabbed their
Winchesters and scurried UP the mountain
side. The sherins men fired half a dozen
shots without effect. The hut was then
searched. In 1t were found clothing in plen-
ty. a large quantity of provisions and about
500 rounds Of ammunition. 1t was evident
that all Of the outlaws wants have been
supplied by sympathizers in the neighbor-
ing valley.
The bandits escaped in their shirt sleeves
with only their rifles and the ammunition
In their belts. The weather is cold in the
mountains. and as the sheriff's men are in
hot pursuit II il believed that a decisive
encounter will take place very soon.
The place where the bandits were found
Is about half way between Camp Badger
and the Sequoia mills.

REMOVAL OF THE JTES.
A Heated Controversy Anticipated
When the Blll Comes Up.

The matter of the removal of the Colo
RADIO Utes from their reservation in South
west Colorado to lands in Utah is to come
before Congress and bids fair to cause q
heated controversy.
There are 500 of the Indians occupying @
strip of land in Southwestern Colorado 100
miles long by II miles wide A treaty was
made with them by commissioners in 1887
according to which they were to be removed
to a large tract Of 5000, 900 acres In Eastern
Utah and to receive $4,000 in money.
Afterward Indian Commissioner Atkinson
investigated the treaty, coming to the con-
clusion that it was an inadvsable step,
so nothing has yet been done toward the
exodus. Apparently neither Colorado nor
Utah is anxious for the Indians. Senator
Teller and Representative Bell of Colorado
appeared before the House committee on
Indian affairs today to advocate the re-
moval, while Delegate Rawlins of Utah
opposed 1t.
Chief Ignacio of the Utes made g. state
ment through an Interpreter advocating the
treaty. The lands now occupied are noun
tainous and cold, while those to which 1t Is
proposed to move the Indians are In
warm valley.

WOOL MEN HOPEFUL.
Hut Democrats Say Their Wishes Are
Contrary to Party Policy.


Contrary to Party Policy.
The wool men, who are still about the
capitol IN force, have not by any means
given up the fight, notwithstanding they
nave met with very little announcement
at the hands Of the majority Of the Senate
finance committee They are organizing
their forces against the free wool schedule.
and have some hope of being able to secure
change in the bill after 1t is reported to
the Senate, If not before. They have found
the populist members Of the Senate much
more inclined to favor them than they
were at first led TO believe would be the
case, and are OF the opinion that if they
can get some support on the democratic
side OF the chamber they will be able to
force at least a slight change in their in
terest.
They are now led to believe that Senators
PETER and Allen will be disposed to vote
against the bill If it should be reported
without providing any duty on WOOL and
especially II IT should come in without the
income tax a part of 1t. The wool men
are not sure of Senator kyle's assistance in
either respect, but they are hopeful of Sc
curing his assistance. They are also hopeful
of Senator Brice aiding them to some ex-
tent.
Senator Faulkner, discussing the subject
this morning. said: Il do not how we
can do II. We have talked much for free
wool and wool is Sc important an item of
cost in clothing that it would be incon-
sistent for US to change the bill at this
stage He did not believe the omission Of
a duty on wool would have the effect of
losing any votes on the bill.

WARDEN BURKE's CASE.
He VIII BE Given q Hearing by the
Judges of the Court.

Judges of the Court.
Whatever may be the outcome Of the re-
quest from the Attorney Generals offce TO
the Supreme Court Of the District to make
a change In the wardenship Of the Jail. the
incumbent. Maj Jerome B. Burke, will, 1t
is said, be given a hearing by the Judges OF
the Supreme Court Maj. Burke was at the
court house yesterday. and IL was under
stood that he had prepared an answer to
the charges made and that there are a num-
Der Of them.
The refusal Of Warden Burke to allow
Mr.. Howard Perry Of the Department Of
Justice to examine the employees and pris-
oners at the Jail under oath is one Of the
charges Warden Burke claims that, under
the rules, he had no authority TO allow
such a proceeding. There are other charges
made. one alleging, it is claimed, lack Of
discipline. under which stealing from the
supplies has been possible. 1t is said, also,
that extravaganza has been charged
against the management Of the Jail
Maj Burke was at the court house today.
and stated to u Star reporter that he had
no fears; that he has explained all the
charges and even insinuations against him
to the satisfaction of the appointing power
the Supreme Court Of the District.
Chief Justice Bingham and Justices Cole
and McComas are examining into the SUBJ
ject. 1t is stated on good authority that
written charges were presented to the war
den few days ago. and that the judges
have held one session and taken testimony
The warden was permitted to be present
and have a stenographic report of the pro-
ceedinss taken. Today Maj. Burke spent
some time about the city hall and II is
possible that il was the intention OF the
judges TO hold another session this after
noon.
Failed I'm discipline.
While the specific charges against the
warden have not been made public. il is
stated that the principal one is failure to
maintain proper discipline about the prison
to the extent that thefts were committed.
In this connection Il Is stated that one
allegation is that choice pieces OF meat
were provided favored prisoners This
charge is denied. and IL is claimed that II
resulted from one Of Mr. Howard Perry's
inspections. when he noticed the condition
Of a piece Of meat. the piece taken from
II having been cut of for one of the ''floor
men, whose stomach was not in proper
condition to receive the regular prison
fare.
Some OF the guards II is said. are taking
an active part in the investigation and
should the evidence be made public. as most
onicial inquiries are. some singular facts
will be shown. In any event II Is generally
thought that a successor to Mai. Burke has
been selected and that he will either have
to resign or be removed.
