did so, he says, for the good of the service
There will be no difficulty in his way in
forcing O'Rourke out of his present posi-
ton. He will retire voluntarily.
Had 1t not been for the turmoil In the
architects department it is believed that
the plans for the San Francisco building
would have been prepared long before
this and the actual work begun upon the
site in preparing it for the erection of the
immense structure that will yet be put
upon it. So far as can be learned at the
treasury to-day it is not probable that the
plans for the builiing will be fully CON-
peted for several weeks to come.
Mr.. O'Rourke's resignation had not been
accepted when the department closed to-
night, but ii was announced that the Sec

KING BLUES REVOLT.
His Majesty Lord of the Negro
ChickaSawS.
So Far the Rebellion Has Been Con-
fined to Getting a Lot

WICHITA. Kans., Sept. ia special 70
the Eagle by way of Sa Sakwa We-Wo-Ka
and Tecumseh from Stonewall, in the
Chickasaw nation, brings information to
the effect that King Blue, the leader of the
Chickasaw negro-IDdians, is in open re-
bellion.
The insurrectionists have gone out on a
marauding tour and are terroriZing the In
dian citizens and especially the sQuaw-
men. Last Saturday the band, headed by
King Blue, swept down on the farm of
George II. Truax. Postmaster at Stone
wall. The negroes came down in midday.
Truax. white man and his sQuaw were
led from the house aud bound with rope
and held prisoners King Blue and his
band then proceeded to destroy everything
in the house they could not eat and drink,
and after satisfying emselves, rode off
bowling and screechng. Neighbors found
Truax and his wife and released them.
Other Indian citizens have been SINH
iarly treated and the cas- tern part of III
Chickasaw nation is in a state of terror
The Chickasaw Government is thinking of
taking steps to put them out as iniruders.
This could be done under the Chickasaw
or United States laws, as the negroes
have no legal right to lands in the Chicka-
saw nation and are not even adopted citi-
Zens. King Blue, while an old man, is
very strong physically and is a natural
leader of surpr sing tact. He was chosen
king OF the negrO-l indians shortly after
the war and he exercises an absolute
tyranny over his followers.

Judge Gibbons Hits the
Whisky Trust.

Being an Organization Against
the Law.
AN APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN.
If the Judgment Is Sustained it VIII
End the Existence of the
Combine.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Judge Gibbons to-
day threw a bombshell into the camp OF
the whisky trust by sustaining the de-
murrer to the amended plea of the trust to
the information in quo warranto filed by
Acknowledgement Maloney some weeks
ago. II will be remembered that the At
tOrney- Generals purpose. as stated at the
time of filing the Information, was TO
break the back of the trust. President
Greenhut affected to think very lightly of
the proceeding and of the power of the
courts Of Illinois to proceed against his
corporation, the American DistilliDg and
Catle-feeding Company, better known as
the Whisky Trust 1t is just possible that
the ruling to-day will cause a sensible al
teration of Mr.. Greeuhurs tone in the
premises.
Judge Gibbons, in his ruling, directs the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to prepare a judgment
in custer against the trust. The decision
closes the case in the lower court, being
upon formal alters left I'm e titled by the
courts ruling of three months ago. The
defendant has announced its purpose to
appeal.
II Judge Gibbons decision is sustained
it Will end the corporate existence of the
defendant
The Attorney General will prepare the
judgment of custer as directed by the
court. This viii be entered, but the de-
PENDANTS appeal will rperate to suspend
it and nothing definite will result until
the Supreme Court passes on the same.

Committee Howied Down.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 19.-Pandemo-

factory to the members, dozen delegates
jumped to their feet and howled him down.
Charges against Powers were m ade so rap
idly that it was impossible to keep record
of them. Two of the chairmau's colleagues
on the committee were accused Of gross
neglect in Washington. Ii was finally de-
cided 20 lay the matter aside temporarily.
Later the charges against Powers will be
taken up and acted upon.
