~ EATON TERRACE, London.
Dear Sir:-I have read your letter, Just
received. with great interest. | feel no
doubt whatever that the influence of tn
pope will be exercised in securing for
Protestants in the South American re-
publics the same liberty Of conscience
that Is enjoyed by Roman Catholic citi-

much for your kindly words with regard

VERY truly yours,
JUSTIN MCCARTHY"
1.-THE PINES, Putney Hill, Lon ION.
Dear sir:-I am no less honored than
gratiied by your expressed wish for my
opinion on so grave question as that
on which you ask for it, and can only
say that it seems more to me than some
what wanton waste of time to apply d.
rectly or indirectly to the cardinal or pope
OF any relaxation or mOdihcatlOn OF the
most monstrous claims ever put forth by
the church. Force and force alone could
obtain even a show Of justice, decenoy
or fair play from the ministers and
agents OF religion VIII icii has never
yielded one jot of it's atrocious pretsn-
sions except under sheer compulsion OF
absolute necessity.
Yours most sincerely,

VOSBURGEN, Gulderlana.
Dear sir:-I wish you all success in
your efforts to obtain a repeal of the
gross, intolerant laws about Protestant
marriages which exist in some OF the
Sonth American states, but l shall be
much Surprised if you obtain any real
help from the vatican. Such laws were
once general in Roman Catholic coun-
tries. They were always inspired or sug-
geste1 by the priests, and they wers only
abolished when the political power Of the
church was restricted or overthrow.
Yours faithfully,

CHICAGO, July 31.-The correspondent
with the troops on the way to Jackson's
Hole wires tonight that very few of the
the part of the country through which to-
days march has been, have been fright
ened over the threatened Indian trouble.
One house at the entrance to the Moose
creek canyon was barricaded with high
fence Of corral poles and during the period
when exciting reports were being brought
out from Jackson's Hole the neighboring
ranchmen and their families spent the
night at this house. This precaution, how
ever, has been abandoned since Sunday.
when notice was received that troops were
coming. Other ranchmen in the locality
were not alarmed at any time. Seven Of
the twenty-five Jackson's Hole men FORM

Indians who tried to escape while being
taken to Marysvale for hearing before
the local justice of the peace have left

with the Indians, assert that the differ

must be settled at once or a border war,

MENOMINEE. Mich, July S1.-The most
destructive fire this town has ever known
started at $50 O'clock this afternoon, and is
still burning. although under control. 1t
started in a pile of lath in the yard of A.
Spies. AS the punches Of lath burned, their

open, caused an intense heat. The fire de-
partment was promptly on the ground. but
in something less than an hour the ex-
tensive lumber district occupied by the mills
Of A Spies, the Girard Lumber Company
and the Bay Shore Lumber Company was
all a sheet OF flames. Assistance came
from Marinetto. Green Bay and Oshkosh.
The mills of the companies named will
probably be saved. Hundreds of families in
upper Main street owe TO Chief Brats of
the local department. the saving of their
houses and goods. Conservative estimates
place the amount of lumber burned at 3d.
O0c0 600 feet, valued at 500, coo. Barns, offices
and other buildings and property destroyed
will easily swell the total loss to $5c00O0
Spies has no insurance but the Bay Shore

American Missionary Secretary Wants
Indians Protected.

American Missionary Secretary Wants
Indians Protected.
NEW YORK, July S1.-Rev. Secretary
Ryder, of the Indian department of the
American Missionary Association, has been
in correspondence with the Interior De-
partment concerning the Bannock Indian
uprising. AS a result of his investigation
of the matter he says: IF ever in the
history of our country protest ought to
be raised by Christian people against the
slaughter of the Indians 1t is now. The
Bannocks, under the laws of general gov
eminent, are allowed to hunt. The game
laws of Wyoming forbid this. A party Of
Bannccks killed a lot of game in Wyoming
Territory. They were arrested and while
being taken to jail sixteen of the seven
armed. Those OF us who know OF the
brutal character of many of the white
men that live in this Western Territory
have grave suspicion that this was planned
In order to kill the Indians.
General Miles has given his testimony
that the BannOcks are among the most
peaceful and, on the whole, one OF the
best tribes on the prairie. Governor Rich
ards, of Wyoming. should at once enforce
the first aggressors and then bring the
legal matters into the courts. If the STAY
ers Of Indians are promptly arrested and
the bannOckS KNOW tndt lney Will De I'M
partially tried and severely punished if
found guilty the uprising will at once be
at an enc.
Secretary Ryder says he has received
assurances from the Department of the In
terror that his opinion is correct as to the
lawless outrage on the Indians and that
this being the case there need be no APP
prehension that the United States troops
there will use harsh measures against the
Indians. No means within the reach OF
the Department of the Interior, he says,
will be spared to bring the guilty parties
to Justice.
