It is reported here that Granville
Keller. the well known hunter and
trapper, living near Green Bank
in this county has been missing for
sometime and is supposed to have
been killed by Indians while in the
West, AS it is well known Mr..
Keller made frequent excursions to
the Rocky Mountains for the pur-
pose of hunting. He has beer on
one of these trips for some time
now with a party Of gentlemen
from Pennsylvania, and news comes
to us that the party has been an
noyed by a band of hostile Indians.
When rescuing party reached the
hunters all OF the party were found
save Mr.. Keller and d Mr.. Penrose.
of whom all trace is disappeared.
1t is hoped the gentlemen will turn
up all right but the worst is feared.

AMERICAN SILVER.
NAY GO TO CHINA TO PAY HER IN
DEBTEDNESs.
Capitalists Stand as Good
Chance as Any ether Money
Representatives,

Washington, June 21.-Oficials Of the
Chinese legation say that the Amer1-
can capitalists who are negotiating in
China to secure a loan OF 2OO,OO0,OOO
taels, which China is about TO pay to
Japan, are by no means urging
vague or futile suit and that they
stand quite as good chance OF Sc
curing the loan as any other money
representatives. SOME misrepresentation
has been created by a cable statement
that China has closed her loan IN
Paris. 1t is explained by officials that
this loan is a subordinate one OF
10 000, 900 taels to cover the surrender
of Lao Tung peninsula. As Russia
and France prevailed 0n Japan to
make the surrender, thus yielding the
permanent occupancy OF Port Arthur,
these two counties undertook to guar
antee the loan OF 5000, 900 taels which
reimburseS Japan for this particular
transaction. But the main indemnity
of 900 0p0. 600 taels carries no guaranty
by Russia and France, and il is this
main loan which is still open and to
which the attention of American in
-veStors is attracted. There is much
interesting speculation as TO the re-
suit of the loan if it is secured by the
American parties. 1t is said that the
first result would be the shipment Of
an unprecedented amount of silver
But as China's bonds are payable in
gold, the ultimate result would be to
bring back gold for the silver paid to
Japan. 1t is pointed out also the the
interest on the entire loan will not ex-
coed $4,000 annually, so that the
Chinese customs receipts of $23, 00O. 900
will req Oily meet the interest charges
and provide a sinking fund for the re-
demption of the bonds which will
probably run for twenty years.

Powers, of Michigan, finally withdrew
his resolution so the business could
proceed.
Senator-elect J. NJ Thurston, OF Ne

took the chair and was given rods-

The following names were then an
nounced for ballot: John f. Byrnes,
Colorado; W. c.. Edens, Illinois; t. h.
Walker, Nebraska; NJ. j. Downing,
Minnesota.
Although Walkers name had been
withdrawn, yet he received some
votes. Before the result o. the ballot
was announced, changes were MADE
from Rines and Edens to NJ. j. Dow
ling and the latter's election was mace
unanimous without count.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported Senator Patton's resolution,
which was adopted without debate.

GUARANTEE. INVESTMENT AND
BOND COMPANIES.
But to Interpret and Enforce the
Statutes.

Chicago, June PA special from Wash
ington, D. c., says Officials of the post
office department are much encouraged
over the results of the fraud orders
against guarantee investment and bond
companies. The examples made of Mac
Donald and others have had a. deterring
effect upon similar concerns. But another
evil is growing under the fostering care
OF express companies, and that is the
fraudulent Honduras and Mexican lotter-
les. That the lottery people are wide
awake and active was shown by a letter
received at the postofiice department from
a California postmaster. An alluring
offer was made for this postmaster to
become the agent of the Honduras
scheme. Instead OF complying with their
requests he turned their letters over to
the postal authorities. together with the
name of the express company guarantee
ing TO ship the tickets. Information also
comes to the law officers of the post
office department that Judge Phillips did
not quash the indictment against fraud
ulent guarantee order boI1s investment
company at Kansas ely In d letter
from Judge Phillips it is stated the case
in question was merely continued until
the next term of courI, the defendants
being released under bonds in the mean
time. There is nothing left for judges to
do but interpret the statutes against these
fraudulent concerns, and they are doing
this all over the country for the purpose
OF breaking up these schemes, which only
Snrich the promoters ard officers
