AIBERNlAN ORDER BELIEVES IN WAR
Resolutions Adopted Eliminating That
Method to Free Ii Gland

New York, Aug. 1.-The national offic-
ers and directors of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians met at he Continental hotel
and passed resolutions which are thought
to be deeply significant of the future pol
icy of that order in the United States on
the question of the method of forward
ing the cause of the Irish independence
The resolutions are said by well-informed
Irishmen to mean that the Ancient Order
of Hibernians indorses the Irish revolu-
tionary movement which seeks Irish in
dependence by force of arms, although the
text does not convey that statement IN
direct language. The Importance of the
action lies in the fact that it is done in
the name of 100000 men who form the
society.

Campbell Of the Oregon Railway &

fic Manager Hannsford of the Union
Pacific and General Traffic Mana
ger Shute of the Great Northern
Yesterday in the Office of General
Freight Agent Moore of the Northern
Pacific to discover the origin Of certain
generalization in western rates and
improve as best they could the through
situation.
They accomplished something besides
discovering who was directly to blame
for the decentralization in which all were
drawn. Recently each road has been
quoting figures out Of all harmony with
the tariffs, and while two roads were
found guilty of directly manipulating
the rates the principal source of trouble
lay in the east, where the general situ-
alton has been very unsteady. The
western officials pledged themselves to
do all in their power to maintain their
rates and keep decentralization away
from their territory. No radical chang
es will be made on rates. All the offic-
ials feel that the rates over which they
have direct control are much too low
and will probably later on improve the
basis of many of them.

Denver, July 30.-A News special from
Cheyenne, Wyo., says:
A private dispatch received from
Market Lake tonight states that the
Ninth cavalry are now camped in Te-
ton basin, 40 miles from Marysvale.
The troops will not be moved into
Jackson Hole until the return of the
Indian police, which were sent ahead
to try and induce the hostiles to re-
turn to their reservations. The re-
ports from Marysvale show that the
excitement is dying out and many Of
the settlers are returning to their
homes. The news Of the near approach
of troops has created better feeling
among the settlers.
The dispatch states that the settlers
had arranged to make an attack on the
Indians in force with the attention OF
driving them out Of the country, but
after receiving the message from Gov
ernor Richards advising them to act
only on the defensive, they changed
their minds. It is claimed that it will
be necessary to keep the troops In the
field all summer, as the Indians can
only be held in check by the presence
of soldiers even If they leave the coun-
try without a fight.
