opposes onsoiidatfon OF the TWO
Pacific Roads.
Helena, Mont, July 29.-The proposed
consolidation of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific systems which have
over 400 miles of railroad in Montana,
has stirred up people in this state to
degree that promises to result in an ex
ira session Of the Legislature. Twenty
members of that body and prominent
citizens have been in conference here
the past two days with Governor Rick
ards relative to the propriety of calling
an extra session, and the governor Is In
clined to issue the call II 1t becomes nee
essary to pervent the consolidation of
the two roads. The state constitution
forbids the consolidation Of two COM
peting railroads, and as all branches
Of both roads are organized under the
state laws, all the Legislature will have
to do is to pass law putting the con-
stitutional provision into effect. If 1t
becomes evident that the consolidation
will be effected special session will no
doubt be called.

Washington, July 27.-While no Of
fetal news has been received here
touching the reported friction between
the Venezuelans and the British col
onists in Trinidad growing out Of the
seizure of British trading craft in the
colonial waters, 1t is believed that the
difficulty has resulted from the efforts
of the Venezuelans to prevent the land
ing of revolutionary forces. Reports
Of recent date indicate that President
Crespo fears the landing Of such n
party, and 1t is supposed here that he
has instructed his revenue cutters to
look out for it.
The British island of Trinidad Is near
to the Venezuelan coast and at two
points known as the Serpent's Mouth
and the Dragons Mouth, the channels
separating the isluand from the main
land are so narrow MS to make 1t very
difficult to distinguish the lines Of jur-
isdiction between British and Venezu-
elan waters. 1t Is at these places, af-
fording easy means for the transporta-
ton Of filibustering expeditions, that
the seizures are reported to have been
made by the Venezuelans.

EXCITEMENT AT LANDER.
Public Meeting to Devise Means for Pro
faction,

Public Meeting to Devise Means for Pro-
tectIon.
Lander, wyo., July 2s.-Lander was
wild last night and a great public meet
ing Is going on to devise ways and means
for the protection of the settlers OF this
vast country. The new country In par
ticular is regarded to be in danger, and
also the Upper Wind river at Dubois
and vicinity. The county authorities
have sent couriers to these places to no
tify settlers of the condition Of things in
Jackson's Hole, and to urge unity of ac-
ton in meeting the Indians should they
visit these localities. A large number
of mounted citizens will leave here to-
night for the Upper Wind river. Appre-
hension Is felt for the safety of Wilbur
q. Coutant, a son of G. G. COutant, ono
of the Oldest newspaper men In the
West. He left here alone for the scene
Of action Wednesday night, and 1t ia
feared he will be ambushed In going
through Union Pass. The general opin-
ion here Is that the troops coming In
from the Idaho side will drive the Indi-
ans through Union Pass and transfer
the war to this side of the Wind river.
The following telegram was received
by Governor Richards at o'clock this
morning at Laramie, on the arrival Of
the east-bound train No. at that place:
Lander, via Rawlins, Wyoming. WA.
Richards, Governor. Armed Indians In
small squads lurking around In foothills
near Lander Ask for cooperation o.
military here. Answer quick. w. ..
Firestone, mayor"
Governor Richards Immediately replied
by wiring as follows: "W. s. Firestone,
Mayor, Lander, Wyoming. Have order
ed Company B to cooperate with you.
w. A. Richards"
The governor wired Company B.:
Commanding officer Company B, Lam
der, Wyoming: You will assemble your
company and cooperate with the civil
authorities for the protection Of the peo-
pie of your county. w. A. Richards,
governor"
Immediately following this message
the governor telegraphed Brigadier Cen
eral Coppinger at Market Lake as fol-
lows: "Mayor of Lander reports armed
bodies of Indians in foothills near that
town and asks assistance from militia.
Have ordered B company, Wyoming Ma
tional Guards. to cooperate with civil
authorities. w. A. Richards, COVER
nor"
1t is certainly fortunate that Governor
Richards held Company B at home, as
a massacre of the people of Lander val
ley would undoubtedly have resulted
had the military at Lander been sent to
Jackson's Hole. The probabilities are
that owing to the wise forethought OF
Governor Richards the settlers Of Lam
der valley will be thoroughly protected
and at the same time the Fort Robinson
troops will reach Jackson's Hole quite
as soon as the Lander militia could have
arrived had they been ordered out at the
commencement of the hostilities.
General Coppinger expects that 1t will
require most strenuous efforts to place
the Indians back on their reservations,
and for this purpose he is ordering out
the several companies of infantry and
cavalry stationed In the Department of
the Platte. 1t is estimated that upward
of 1000 Indians are in Jackson's Hole
at the present time.

possible. The courier is Mr.. Seymour

to be entirely unfounded.

three companies of the Seventeenth in

Of the Eighth. who is now In the field
with General Coppinger, will take COM
mand of the Eighth on their arrival.
The Seventeenth are peculiarly fitted
for Indian warfare. They have had sew
enteen years experience on the frontier
and have a good record as Indian fight
ers.
