CHEROKEE BOND SALE.
AN IMMENSE DEAL MADE BY A
CHICAGO FIRM.
The Amount is $0,0IO,ooo, a Large
Portion OF which, 1t is said,
viii Find Its Way
Into Trade.

Chicago Tribune.
A firm of local brokers yesterday sue
ceeded in buying SG6i0,OO0 worth OF
gold bonds from the Cherokee Nation for
the Astors of New York. James u. Nc
Elroy, who, in company with William b.
Hord. New York bond lawyer, has
been for two weeks at Talequah, the
capital Of the Cherokee Nation, tele-
graphed his brother Robert L. McElroy
yesterday thatthe deal had been closed.
This is the second largest sale of securi-
ties that has been made in many years.
The largest previous TO this was the
sale of brewery bonds which included
the transfer of st. Louis brewcries to an
English syndicate
The Indian council has already accepted
the 100000 for accrued interest on the
bonds and the remainder of the money Is
to be paid as soon as the United States
treasury department can issue the, securi'
ties. The sale of the bonds, the brokers
claim, will exert a good influence in Chi
cago business circles.
THOMAS j. HURLEY TALKS.
Thomas j. Hurley who has charge of
the loan department for james II. aud
Robert L, McElroy, in speaking of the
deal. said:
A large portion of this money will go
to Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas City

Il Co.. bankers No 30 Wall street, New

the deal is made for the Astors but as
Mr.. Wilson is a son-in-law Of the AstOrs,
you can draw YOUR own conclusion. The
sale Of the bonds rs 1t has been made
will be beneficial in many WAYS. Had the
bonds been placed on sale with banking
houses in small portions they would have
Withdrawn money from circulation. In
this way, however. the whole amount
comes from the East. and eventually the
money will reach the trade.
The bonds represent the last four annu.
al payments due the Cherokee Nation by
the United States government, running
for n period of three years, from 1895
10 1898. They bear per cent interest.
Owing to the short time in which the
bonds expire the government was Obliged
to pay per cent. instead of 3 per cent
as customary on loans of twenty years or
more, which are more desirable for in
vestOrs.
The bonds were issued TO pay for lands
purchased from the Cherokee Nation.

river and known as the Cherokee Strip.

Washington June, Ex-senator Caffery
went before the Sugar trust investigation
committee to amplify the statement here
tofore made by him, concerning his meet
ing with Mr.. Havemeyer at Senator
Brice's house. He was reported, in his
former testimony, to have said he had
been requested to see Mr.. Havemeyer,
who happened to be IN Senator Brice's
house. But he had not stated the manner
in which Mr.. Havemeyer happened to be
there, which he wished TO do today.
Prior to seeing Mr.. Havemeyer," Mr..
Caffery said, there was discussion be-
tween those present and ex-senator
White and myself as to the comparative
merits of the ad valorem and specific
rates of duty on sugar. There was
great difference Of opinion on this point,
and Senator Brice stated there was a.
about the rate on sugar than perhaps any
other man in the United States and that
if it was agreeable he would send for him.
That man was Mr.. Havemeyer. Senator
Brice asked me if l had any objection to
meeting Mr.. Havemeyer and having
talk with him on this particular point
told him l had none. 1 simply desire 70
state that Mr.. Havemeyer came to the
house in pursuance of the invitation eX-
tended by Mr.. Brice."
Henry r. Reed went before the COM
mittee and was examined at some
length. He said he knew nothing OF any
speculation in sugar stocks by United
States senators.
The question of holding the investiga-
ton with open doors again came up To-
day, but the committee decided 10 pro
coed in secret session.

Chicago. June 1.-THE Western Pas
senger association has practically de-
cided to declare a boycott against the
Lake Erie & Western road, unless the
line consents to withdraw it's rate OF
s24.75 for the round trip between In
dianapolis and Denver, for the meet
ings of the League of Republican clubs,
which will be held in Denver the latter
part of this month. The Lake Erie &
Western announced the rate in con-
nection with the Chicago & Alton and
the Union Pacific, and those two lines
after the summer excursion agreement
was made between the association, de-
clared that they were unable to carry
out their portion of the contract. Not
withstanding this notice, the Lake Erie
& Western has continued to announce
that the rate is still in effect.
The association lines have now in
formed it that unless it promptly is
sues notice that the rate has been can
celled, no line of the Western Passen-
ger association will honor any tickets
of the Lake Erie & Western, no mat
ter for what issued.
The Lake Erie & Western has as yet
made no answer to the notice.

COUP D'ETAT IN PARAGUAY.
1t Ended Peacefully, Not a Shot
Being Fired.

Beng cAreu.
New York, June 1.-THE Heralds
Buenos Ayres dispatch says: The
coup d'etat in Paraguay on Saturday
ended peaceably. Not a shot was fired.
Generals Escobora, Cabellero and
Egusguid, each of whom is a candidate
for the presidency, entered into a con-
spiracy with the minister of war to
overthrow President Gonzales. When
the president, accompanied by the min
lister of the interior and the chief of
police was entering the congress in AS
sumption, he was suddenly surrounded
and arrested by armed men, VINO COM
PEELED him to resign his Office.
The vice-president, who is a nephew
of General Cabellero, at once assumed
the powers Of president
The object of the coup detat was to
destroy the official candidacy of DR..
Decond, Paraguay's minister to Uru-
quay. A fight for spoils between the
three generals who want to be presi-
dent will probably commence in July
during the election of electors.
The vice-president favors his uncle,
General Cabellero, while the minister
of war wants General Egusguid to sue
coed and the chief of police supports
General Escobera.
Direct telegraph wires from Para
quay have been cut and communication
is interrupted.
Latest advices say the deposed presi-
dent has been put on board a steamer
for this city. His ministers of justice
and foreign affairs and the chief of po-
lice have been imprisoned.
| The vice-president has formed a new
cabinet including Angel Mantinez as
| minister of the interior; Augustin
Canet, minister of finance; DR.. Macial
minister of justice; Gregory Benititz
minister of foreign affairs and General
| Caseres, minister of war.

PRENpERGAsT.s CASE.
Additional Complications May Soon
Arise.

Chicago. June 11.-An additional COM
plication may arise in the case of AS
sassin Prendergast. Judge Chetlain is
not sitting in the criminal court and
the case came up today before Judge
Payne. When the continuance agreed
or was submitted to him, he refused to
ekler the order, saying he knew no
reason why the continuance should be
granted. The matter went over tenn
porarily.
Prendergast insisted on making a
speech. Il am the defendant here, :"
he said, and I want no continuance.
The question to be determined is my
guilt or innocence, not insanity. Muir
der is the malicious taking Of human
life. That crime I have not commit
ted" The prisoner was thrust into a
chair by the bailiffs.
Judge Payne said this afternoon that
ne would not consider the motion for
a continuance until after a case now
before him is disposed Of. An agree
nment has been reported by the counsel
rof both sides, and States Attorney
Kern said tonight that the bearing of
the insanity case will SO over until

Omaha in Danger.

Omaha Neb, June 1.-THE rain in
this vicinity has ceased, but the Mis-
souri, river continues TO rise steadily.
The positive danger line is IS feet, and
the stage of water is something over
IA feet. The local United States
weather bureau officer declares that if
the conditions 20 the north were of a
torebodiI1g character he would receive
telegraphic communication at once
and the danger at Omaha depends up
on sudden rises to the north.
The indications, however, are for in
creaSing rains in this vicinity and the
north tonight, which makes the stu
alton more serious. The river is pour
ing into Florence lake today. This is
"a, body of water a few miles above the
city, formerly the old river bed, and
for years the river has threatened to
return to its ancient channel by this
course. This would result in THE de-
Structdon of millions of dollars worth
of property, as the old river bed for
miles is crowded with freight yards,
big warehouses and residences. While
the rise of three feet would bring the
river to a very dangerous stage, it
would take even more to force it into
the old channel, as the property own
ers along the route have taken every
precautton TO protect THEIR places with
artificial means. The river men are
watching The encroaching waters very
closely. The river cannot posi- bly,
rea a. the danger line before noon to-
morrow, at the most rapid rate.

BRAKES TAKEN OFF.
Better Progress Being Made on the
Tariff Bill.

Washington, June 1.-THE brakes
were taken off in the Senate today, and
more progress was made with the tariff
bill than during any previous three
weeks of the consideration of the meas
ure. Three schedules, spirits and wines,
cotton and fax. jute and hemp manu-
facturer from paragraph 237 to 277 in
elusive, comprising nineteen pages OF
the bill. were disposed of.
The entire schedule of cotton, ten
pages. was finished in thirty minutes.
The Republicans made no opposition
to the amendments proposed to this
SCHEDULE, maintaining that the rates.
though reduced, were so changed as to
make the cotton schedule the most
scientific ever prepared.
The collar and cuff paragraph. pro-
viding for duty of 80 cents per dozen.
and 80 per cent ad valorem, while
shirts and other articles composed
wholly or in part Of linen carry a duty
of 80 per cent, provoked considerable
discussion, and more or less amuse~
ment.
Tomorrow the wool schedule will be
taken up.
Mr.. Quay gave notice. Just before
adjournment, at $50 that ne would,
when the schedule was reached tomor-
row, resume his speech he was deliver
ing four months ago.
