THE STEAMSHIP AuRANlA DISABLED
Sighted at sea. bur she Asked for No
Assistance.

New York. July 29.-The British steamer
Manitoba. which arrived today from Lon
don, reports that on July 26 the Cunard
liner Aurania was sighted with her ma
chinery disabled. She signalled, "An on
board are well; ne assistance required"
The Aurania sailed from Liverpool July
90 Queenstown July q. She was due
yesterday
The Aurania had on board so first class
and SO second class passengers, the ma
jority of them returning American tour
lists, besides 450 immigrants. The failure
to make known the nature of the Aur-
ania's disability is doubtless due to the
fact that there is no code of night signals
in use except that signifying disability"
and one or two other important signals of
this nature.
Two other schooners arriving this even
ing also spoke the Aurania. The North
German-Lloyd steamer Saale reports that
on July q she spoke the Aurania about a
ships length off. Captain Mckay reported
a slight defect of the engine. Repairs
were being made. but he hoped to be able
to- resume his voyange soon. Captain
Nichols of the Red Star line steamer
Friedland, also reports having passed the
Aurania on the morning of July q. The
Aurania showed no signals.

THE SETTLERS WERE NOT MoLEsrnD
Agent Tetor's Last Advices- SchOfield
Talks OF the Situation.

ldlkS VI thS olludllOu.
Washington, July 29.-The following
dispatch from Indian Agent Tetor,
dated Rexburg, Idaho, near Market
Lake, July rs, was received today
"On the 9th inst. I met Sheriff Haw-
ley near ReXburg, returning from Jack
son Hole, where he had been sent to
ascertain if the settlers had been killed
by Indians. Hawley states that the
settlers have not been molested by the
Indians, who are supposed to be en-
camped about 40 miles from the settle
ment in practically impregnable posi-
ton. There is no doubt of the fact
that large body of Lemhi Indians re-
Gently joined the other Indians in Ho-
backs canyon"
Speaking of the Indian disturbance
in northern Wyoming, General Scho-
field today expressed his opinion in
discreet manner. The Indians will soon
surrender and return to their reserva-
lions. The only way they could cause
trouble is by scattering and taking to
the mountains. But he thought it I'M
likely that they would precipitate hos
tilities now that the soldiers are COM
irg.
Speaking of the dispatch from Market
Lake stating that Jackson Hole set
tiers are to be arrested and tried for
killing several Indians accused of vio-
lation Of Wyoming game laws, Com
missioner Browning said he knew of
no steps being taken in this direction.
He added that the Indian office would
welcome a legal test Of the right of
the Indians killing game in defiance of
state laws. If the courts decided the
state law superior to the treaty of the
United States government with the In
dams the matter will be settled and he
will be very glad of it, he said.

is THE VICTIM OF A HYpNoTIsT
Dolly Agnew, in Jail for Larceny. Enters
the Latest Defense.


Portland, Or, July 29.-Dolly Agnew,
the young woman confined in the county
Jail on a charge of larceny only one of
many similar previous escapades, has
made the startling claim that she is sub
ject to hypnotic influence. She claims that
William Woodland forces her to steal in
spite of herself.
When she is released here she is to be
taken to Tacoma to answer to charges
of wholesale thieving from lodging houses
and hotels and her friends will endeavor
to show in defense that the young wo-
vans criminal career of the past two
years is due to the peculiar power ex-
ercised over her by Woodland, her ac-
complete in some of the robberies. She
is an intelligent young woman and claims
that her father, whose name is unknown,
is a banker and eX-alderman of Chicago
Dolly would have been placed in the
penitentiary for, the greater part of her
life months ago, had it not been for the
sympathy in her behalf eXerted on the
authorities to good advantage. Where
ever she stops the woman never leaves
unless she obtains a goodly amount of
pelf. She earnestly declares that she
means to be good, and would not do
wrong but for Woodlands power, which
she says has driven her into trouble again
and again. Her stealings here and on the
sound aggregate thousands of dollars.

tello special says:
Five companies of the Eighth infan-
try United States troops, from Fort
Russell, Wyo., commanded by Major

A gentleman who arrived from the
north last night says that the North
ern Pacific railroad can hardly accom-
mOdate the tourists who are leaving
Yellowstone Park as speedily as pos
sible and the Indian scare has certainly
hurt the summer travel to the park to
a great extent.

STANFORD UNIVERSITIES EXPENSES
Great College Will Run, but Sacrifices
Have Been Made

San Francisco. July 2S.-Mrs. Leland
Stanford has been at Palo Alto consulting
President Gordon about the opening Of
Stanford university in September. Mrs.
Stanford finances will not permit of any
expenditures that are not absolutely nee
essary, but she will be able to furnish
enough money to run the institution on
the same lines as last year President
Gordon has submitted an estimate show
ing that the university can be conducted
without impairing its efficiency for $1,000
a month. Mrs. Stanford in order to raise
money, will sell off the stock on Palo Alto
ranch. There are now on the farm 600
head of fine horses. One auction sale
will be held in New York and another in
San Francisco. The income from the
Palo Alto and Vina ranches has not been
large enough to keep the university going
and in order to keep it open Mrs. Stan
ford has been obliged to hypothecate some
Of her railroad bonds, and the same course
will be necessary to secure funds for the
support of the university during the com
ing year.

REPUBLICAN sILveRlTEs IN KANSAS
Address Which Declares That Bimetalism
Is the side Partner OF Protection.

Topeka, Kan, July 29.-The executive
committee of the Kansas Republican Sill
Yer League met here today and issued
2500word address to Kansas republicans,
in which the financial issue is stated thus:
Shall we have bimetallism by restoring
silver as standard money with gold to the
position it occupied when demonetized by
congress in 1874, or shall monometallism,
or the single gold standard, be maintained
and perpetuated in this country?
I'VE, as republicans" says the address,
favor the former and oppose the latter.
In our judgment the American system of
protection, one of the main tenets Of the
republican party, is impracticable and
cannot be sustained in the absence of BIZ
metallism. Gold monometallism and free
trade must go together"

Down an Uprising.
Topeka, Kan, July 29.-Sheriff Nay
lor of Jackson county arrived in To-
peka tonight and will ask for state
troops to put down an uprising of In
dams on the Pottawattomie reserva-
ton. The sheriff and posse accom-
panied the Indian police today to make
an arrest and all had to flee for their
lives. The sheriff says there are 90
armed redskins waiting to resist any
attempt to arrest any of their number.
The trouble arose over a section of
the reservation land which a party
Of white men claim to have leased from
the Indian agent. Last Saturday the
white men began making hay on these
lands and an Indian named Matrash
and several others drove the white men
off the lands. Warrants were put in
the hands of the Indian police to be
served and Sheriff Naylor and a posse
accompanied to lend aid. When the
party reached the reservation they
were met by Matrash and about 80
warriors, all armed. They all refused
to be arrested and the sheriff and his
party were obliged to speed their horses
to the utmost to escape a conflict with
the redskins. The sheriff says the In
dams are in war paint and last night
ernor Morrill, for troops, as he believes
the Indians will continue warlike until
confronted by superior numbers.

ting of national bank notes, Mr.. Mcbride
said: "While the principle of doing away
with this class of money is a good one,

Citizens Want an Extra Session to Stop
the scheme.
Helena. Mont, July 2S.-The progress
of efforts to effect a consolidation OF
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railroads is watched in this state
with the most intense interest. AL
ready several conferences OF leading
business men have been held looking
to the organization of their forces to
prevent such a coalition. There is a
strong constitutional prohibition
against such consolidation and the con-
stitution empowers the legislature to
forfeit the charter of any company or
corporation when its operation may be
deemed injurious to the citizens of the
state.
Governor Richards has been consult
ed and is understood to have expressed
willingness to call the legislature to-
gether in special session to enact such
legislation as may be needed to give
full force and effect to the constitution
al prohibition of consolidation. 1t is
also now reasonably certain that he
will be memorialized by a large num-
Der of leading business men and ship
pers to include in his call for a special
session the duty of creating a railroad
commission and giving it plenary pow
er in the matter Of freight and passen-
ger rates.
