CHASING THE COOKS.
Troops of Little Use-The Outlaws
Have Many Friends.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Oct. 26, 1884,
No fresh robberies by the Cook gang
were reported last night. The party are
being hotly pursued by the Deputy Mar
shaIs. About $50 of them have been
ordered to Gibson by Marshal Crump to
participate in the chase after Cook.
Gibson is where Cook has hitherto made
his headquarters. There is little doubt
that his band scattered upon learning
of the coming of all the Deputies and
Indian police.
Troops would be useless in the terri
tory, except, perhaps cavalry. The
Cooks have to be tracked and the coun-
try is filled with ma.-s # their friends
ready to give the alarm. The telegram
sent out from Tahlequah few nights
ago saying that Jim Cook, the young
brother of Bill, had made his escape
from the Cherokee guards, is all a mis-
take. Four guards have him in charge
and they got scared the other night and,
fearing that the Cooks would swoop
down on Tahlequah, they changed his
guard house and reported that Jim had
escaped.
1t is now only matter of hours until
the last is heard of the Cook gang, as a
fight or capture is surely eminent. Wed
nesday valley train from Fort Gibson
feared hold-up at Illinois station, and
twenty-five guards rode upon the train
here, armed to the teeth.

LAWLEssNEss ON TIE YUKON.

QUEBEC, Oct. 26, 1ss4.-The Canadian
Government will send mounted police
force up into the Yukon country,to which
miners are fiocking, and which is in the
vicinity of the disputed boundary line
between the northwest territory and
Alaska. This is the result of a commun-
ication from Inspector Constantine of
the Northwest Mounted Police, who was
commissioned to visit the country last
June and report to the Government at
Ottawa.
1t appears that lawlessness is rampant
in that country, owing to the influx Of
gold miners, who profess ignorance as
to which Government they should oh
tain licenses from, and also owing to
the Government of the country by whis-
XIV rings, and further from sale of
whisky to the Indians
The strife between the American Gus
toms authorities and the North Ameri-
can Transportation Company which does
most of the business in the country, ag-
gravates matters considerably.

crisis has been reached on the tariff
bill. 1t became apparent to the con-
ferees last night that they could not
agree and to-day they agreed to
disagree. Sugar, coal, iron ore and
lead-silyer ore stood in the way of
agreement. There were differences
on some of the other schedules,
notably on steel, iron, wooden and
cotton fabrics and glass. The Sem
ate c%onferees refused to yield an
incn. The House of representatives
stood firm. The Senate conferees
declared that if the Senate bill was
not adopted no bill could be passed.
The House men insisted that the
Senate should vote on the items
in contention, SO that the country
could properly locate the blame for
failure. For II hours the c~onferees
struggled to agree, and finally it was
agreed to report the differences to
the respective houses.
There is no hard feeling between
the conferees personally. The Sem
ators feel detected and many of them
fear no tariff bill will be passed.
The House, however, can pass the
Senate bill at any time it gets ready
before the 4th of March next. The
