A SIMEON OF GRIT.
Buildings Wrecked and Goods Buried
by Sand Storm in
Oklahoma.

Perry, Ok, Nov. 17.-The simeon of
sand which has been raging in Okla
homa territory for four days has worn
itself out. An old man who has been on
the reservation about Fort Reno for sew
eral years and who has been in the ter
ritory since long before the opening walked
into town last night and after he had been
raked off with 4 curry-cOmb said the storm
had abated because it had run out Of
sand. The surface of the country in
places is swept as clean as a granary. In
other places the sand is drifted as the
SHOWS drift when whirled by the wind
Many stocks of goods in this place as well
rs IN other towns are covered with the eff
fects of this storm. In some cases thous-
andS of dollars would not pay the damage.
Frail houses have been wrecked and their
roofs and timberS are scattered far and
wide. 1t is not possible at this hour to es-
innate the extent of the damage. A half
breed mother lost her way and persisted
near here It is believed that other fatali-
ties have occurred. 1t is reported that q
detachment of cavalry sent out from Fort
Reno several days ago encountered the 81
moon and nothing has been heard of the
troopers since. Col. Wade, in command of
the post, does not think anything serious
has occurred to his cavalry.
Great suffering is reported from the inte-
riOr, not only among the whites but among
Indians. The Sand-storm was so uneXpeci~
ed that many were found unp"epared.
Many tepeeS were not secured against the
blast and as the Indian is not capable of
caring for himself under the most favora-
bic circumstances the suffering caused by
this four days terror cannot be estimated
n this hOur.

DUKE OF ARGYLL ENGAGED.
Lady Colin CampbeIl's New Paper Con-
tains Social Scoop.

Lady Colin CampbeI1's New Paper Con-
tains Social Scoop.
London, Nov. 10.-The Realm, of which
Lady Colin Campbell is the editor, ap-
peared today and was favorably received.
In it's first issue Realm announces that
the Duke of Argyll is engaged to Miss
Knox Little. George Douglass Campbell,
eighth Duke of Argyll, was born in 1923
and is the father of the Marquis Of
Lorne, who married the Princess Louise
fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. Lady
Colin Campbell, the editor of Realm, was
the wife Of Lord Colin Campbell, fourth
son of the Duke of Argyll, from whom
she obtained judicia separation in 1884.
The Duke of Argyll has been twice mar
ried; first in 1914 to Lady Elizabeth
Georgiana Northumberland Cover,
who died in 1878 She was the eldest
daughter of the second Duke of Suther-
land. In 1881 the Duke of Argyll mar
ried Amelia Marie, daughter Of the Rt.
Rev. Thomas Leigh Claughton, d. d.
formerly bishop of ST. Albans), and
widow of Col Hon. Augustus Henry
Archibald Arson She died in 1892. All
the children Of the Duke of Argyll, four
sons and seven daughters, were by his

SILVER TRUST NEXT.
Rockefeller, the RothsChilds and
Others Said to Have Formed
a Syndicate.

Denver, Col, Nov. 1G.-The Rocky
Mountain News today says that a syndi-
cate is scheming to obtain control of the
silver market and dictate the price of metal
td all silver-uSing countries. A conference
was held in this city this week, it is said,
at which were present Daniel Guggenheim
of New York, Messrs, Barton and Nash
of Omaha, Mr.. Hanaur of Salt Lake and
Mr.. Allen of the Philadelphia Smelling
and Refining company at Pueblo and rep
resentatives of the local smelters and the
leading silver producing mines.
Two reports are current as to the details
of the proposed plan. One is that a syndi-
cate backed by John d. Rockefeller and
the Rothschilds will sustain control of all
the smelters in the United States and Next
co and arbitrarily fix the price of silver
regardless Of the supply and demand. The
proposition was made, so it is stated, that
praised valuation equivalent to cost. This
was to be paid in cash. Then each was to
have a proportionate block of stock in the
new deal. The Grant people, so it is stat
ed, wanted their plant paid for at its real
value not its cost This hitch has still
to be adjusted
According to the other report the propo-
sition is to have the silver Of all the smeit-
ers handled through one man or one agen-
cy. At present the Guggenheims have Il
certain house, the Grant people another and
so on. There would be q saving to the
smelters of possibly a quarter OF q cent an
ounce having it handled by one man in
stead of half a dozen or q dozen, but the
main object would be to prevent sudden
Slumps in the price of silver.

BREAD RIOT AT CHICAGO.
Battalion of Police Called Out to
Dispense a Mob of Workmen
at City Hall.

Chicago, H., Nov. ia large detail
of police was called out at noon today to
quell bread riot in the city hall. Two
hundred and fifty discharged employees of
the water department gathered about the
comptroller's office and demanded the
wages due them. The comptroller sent a
clerk to inform the men that there was
no money in the city treasury to pay
them. Instantly the crowd became riot
ous Cries for bread and threats of in
slant vengeance were howled forth by
the angry crowd. and the comptroller,
gathering his clerks, barred the doors to
his offices and sent a hurried call for po-
licemen. Half a dozen officers appeared,
but were promptly rushed out of the corri-
dor by the thoroughly-aro men. A
battalion of patrolmen was summoned,
and after a liberal use of force the rioters
were dubbed into submission and driven
from the city hall.
The large crowd which had been at
tracted by the disturbance was heartily
in sympathy with the eX-employes, and
threats to compel instant payment of the
overdue wages We're numerous until the
police succeeded in dispensing the throng,

him hfeless At his bedside at the time of

The coroner was notified of his death at

Fitzsimmons was in 4 respondent mood
when seen ut the jail today and was Sob

the terrible position he is placed in and
it was with difficulty that he could COM
pose himself to talk on the subject. In
speaking of the fatal blow he said: ''Rior-

against counters, as he had done hundreds

swing against the side of his neck. He
fell down and [ laughed at him for play

however, and / assisted him off the stage.

At one time he claimed the heavyweight

later on won the title from John l.. Sulli-

Immense Damage to Property in Colorado
by Forest Fires.
Boulder, Col, Nov. 1G.-The telephone
lines to Gold Hill, Ward and other min
ing towns west of this city are down to-
day. and there is no communication with
those places. People who have ridden in
from Gold Hill, however, report that the
forest fires were checked by last nights
Storm thus enabling the fire lighters to ex-
tinguish the flames just west of Gold Hill.
SO far as reported no lives have been lost.
The property damage is estimated at ST.
100000 Several hundred people have
been made homeless.
Although the larger mining camps were
saved the fire did great damage to the
forest ranches and mines in its line of
travel The burned district reached from
Left Hand, at the mouth of Alamakee
Gulch on the north to Sunset on the
south, "a territory about five miles long
and four and half wide. Fred Ehler,
ramchman, was severely burned while
fighting the flames.
The terror-stricken inhabitants of Gold
Hill are returning today from Big Horn
mountain and Horsfal shaft, where they
sought shelter, and are moving their
household furniture from the mining tun-
nels, where they stored it, back to their

Wharton Barker Writes an Open Letter
to Gov. Mckinley.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 1G.-Wharton
Barker haa written an open letter to Gov.
Mckinley asking him to publicly state
his views on the money question, and at
the same time suggesting that the Repub-
lican campaign of 1896 should be made
"for American protection and American bi-
metallism against British free trade and
British gold recommendation"
Mr. Barker suggests a plan for the re-
establishment of silver in our coinage,
which he believes the only safe one for the
United States to adopt without interna-
tional agreement 1t is, first, that the
United States shall admit silver bullion
from American mines to coinage in its
minis upon the payment by the owner OF
a seigniorage absorbing three-fourths Of
the difference between the market Zion,
dom price of the bullion and its value
when coined. Second that silver shall
be admitted only for coinage purposes at
a seigniorage absorbing all the difference
between the market price and Its value
when coined.

and in spite of desperate fighting which
has taken place the assaults of the enemy
have been repulsed. From the same

is likely that the place will offer deter
mined resistance to the japanese.

The newspapers of this city say that
the defenses of Port Arthur are reported
to be stronger on the land side than on
the sea front. Fully 100 guns are said

make any defense the assault will be
bloody.

WAS A DIRECT REQUEST.
Independent Action of the United
States Government For
n1ally Asked.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 1G-The state
department has received information that
a special meeting of the Japanese ministry
has been called for tomorrow to consider
a final answer to the offer of the United
States to mediate between Japan and
China. The delay thus far is explained
by the fact that the cabinet meets at
Toxic, while the Emperor who has to be
consulted is at Hiroshima. What the ma
known, yet strong limitations have
reached the officials here that the cabinet
will ask that China e. her make her offer
direct to Japan or else free it from all
doubt, specifying the exact amount of
indemnity she will pay.
The fact was developed today that the
Tsang Ii Yamen, which is the council
cabinet of the empire, made q direct re-
quest to the United States that this gov
eminent offer its services as mediator
Heretofore it has been understood that
the request from China was that this
government join other powers in inter-
vening, to which this government re-
sponded in the negative and offered to act
alone. 1t now appears. however, that the
independent action of this government
was formally requested by the Tsang Ii
Yamen.
1t was also developed today that the
substantial features of the proposition
made by the United States to Japan is
as follows: If the United States were in
a position to exercise it's good offices i'll
bringing about an understanding between
China, and Japan would Japan feel that
it would be prejudicial to her interests to
have such influences exerted? 1t is point
ed out that this diplomatic language
makes no offer to Japan. but merely in
quires how she would entertain media
ton in case the United States was in
a position to offer it.
