DENVER, Col, Oct. IA special from
Pocatello, Idaho, says: courier and
scout for the United States troops,
named j. w. Wilson, reached Idaho
Falls. about ninety miles north OF this
place, last evening, bringing details OF
the killing of Captain Smith and two
comrades by Indians in the lower part
OF Jacksons Hole on Thursday morning.
The Indians had sworn vengeance
against Smith, as it was he, they be-
lieved. who killed one of their tribe and
WAC the cause indirectly OF the death of
apapoose last July. Smith was wou nded
himself in this fight but recovered.
Wilson states that Captain Smith and
his two companions were prospecting on
the south fork of Snake river, at the
south end OF Jackson's Hole, and were
ambushed, and he and his two COM
panions were shot dead, and their bodies
left on the river bar. Wilson and Con-
stable Manning were scouting in this
locality at the time, and both saw the
dead bodies OF the murdered mon. Will
son rode at once to Captain Coils com.
mand ct Swan Valley and reported the
facts, leaving Manning at Cape Granite
to return to Jaokson's Hole with the
troops, who loft Immediately for the
scene of the killing. Wilson thon rod q
to Idaho Falls with dispatches.
Is. Adams, rGnCher living three
miles from the scene of the killing and
now visiting at Idaho Falls, put Wilson
through searching examination in re.
gard 60 the killing OF Smith and his
companions, and says there can be no
don hit Wh taUar q tn TIM ra1ia -
Wilson's statement. He says, further,
that the killing Of Smith was no surprise
to him, 81 the Indians openly avowed
they would have his scalp. He believes,
however, that this will virtually settle
the difficulty so far as the Indians are
concerned. Having avenged the death
OF their braves they will now return to
the reservation.
Wilson says there sre about sixty In
dams al jackson Hole and they are
Bannocks from the Fort Hall reserva-
ton. Captain Coils with his command
who started for the Hole, will drive out
all the Indians found there, but 1t Is
almost certain that none will be on
countered, as they will anticipate the
arrival OF the troops and head by cir
cuitous route for the reservation.
Lieutenant Ladd, of the Ninth cav
airy, and Lieutenant Penn. of the First
infantry, now stationed at Montpelier,
Idaho, were much alarmed at the kill
ing. From the reports received by them
from the troops cam ped in Star Valley,
1t Is believed no further trouble would
ensue and the reports states that there
were no Indians in Jscksons Hole, with
the exception of small band under
military escort going to another camp
in Wyoming to recover q child that was
lost last winter. The names of Smiths
comrades cannot be ascertained.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. THE silver
Democratic Stste central committee, of
which A. w. Thurman is chairman and
w. w. Durbin secretary. tonight is
sued an address to the Democrats of
Ohio urging concerted action looking to
the control OF the next national Demo

The functions given of the United

those Of the States. Matters OF tariff
taxation and coinage are functions of
the United States with which the States
have nothing directly 20 do.
The support of every Democrat is,

Der of the United States Senate, who
Will have to vote directly upon the

to the action Of any other country. To
this end we ask your cordial co-opera-

CoNsrANTINopLE, VIA SOFIA, Oct.s.7.
The representatives OF the six uovers
have sent collective note to the Turk
ish government calling attention to thu
inadequate measures taken BIZ the no.
lice authorities to maintain public tran.
guilty in Constsn.inople and It's sub
urbs, and demanding the prompt ms til
tuition OF rigorous inquiry into the
recent rioting, bloodshed and wholesale
imprisonment OF Armenians hero.
In addition, the powers demanded the
release OF oil prisoners who are inuoc emit
OF wrong and the cessation OF arrests.
SAID Pasha, the new Turkish minisse
tor foreign stfairs, has called at the diff
ierens embassies and has presented TO
the representatives of the powers a
communication, saying the demand for
reforms in Armenia has been accented
by the porte.
Ihe Armenians are still inside the
ratriarchate Church, in which thew
sought refuge after the rloting of Mon
Day last. Some shots were fired at noon
to-day and it was feared that another
outbreak WAS imminent. Police watch
ing the building promptly notified the
military authorities and strong force
OF troops was sent to the spot.
Ihe soldiers Immediately blocked all
the adjacent streets. This action of the
military caused quite panic among the
inhabitants OF that quarter, and thew
lied from their homes in all directions.
The kurds then entered the workshops
among the quays and expelled from
them oil the Armenlans they could find,
Lister, 1t is claimed the bodies of four
Armenisns were found.
Ihere is ono feature of the work which
is attracting considerable attention. 1t
ls frequently recalled that the pend.
armes, while making arrests, repeasedlv
told the persons taken into custody to
call upon England TO deliver YOU"
Ihose who know the way of Turkish
onclals say that this shows that the
police were instructed to impress upon
tho minds OF the ATmenians that Great
britain was unable or unwilling to assist
them In the emergency.
FINALLY, many quarters Of Stamboul
have been placarded with notices incit-
Ing the populace against the "inlidels."
Inc police, 1t is truo, tear down these
placards, but they were either unable or
unwilling TO do so before they have
been widely read, snd the placards have
had the effect anticipated upon the
Mahommedan population. 1t is not
claimed that the government is res pom
siole 10; this agitation. but the work is
being done and the government, appsr.
entity, Is unable to put stop to it.

THE ORIOLES TURN.
They win Now Try to Make 1t Three
Straight Games

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. THE Cham
pions tasted the sweetness of revenge
to-day by shutting the Spiders out, thus
in measure getting even for three sue.
cessive defeats they met in Cleveland.
The playing to day seems to indicate
that the home team will make it three
straight here, and that the seventh game
OF the Temple Cup series will have to be
played. More than 10000 people saw
the battle and the enthusiasm was un-
bounded, 80 much so in fact. that some
OF the rougher element forgot themselves
and offered some indignisies to the vis-
ltors. Paper balls, peanuts. one or two
eggs, and finally a rock were thrown at
them as they left their hotel for the
grounds, and after reaching there they
were Missed by small part of the crowd.
This was frowned upon by the ma
1ority, but there were further attempts
at insult during the game. It was
purely pitchers contest in which
Esper had the better of it. Cuppy,
though bit wild, held the victors
down to nine hits. These, however,
came at opportune times, while the five
made by the visitors were scattered aud
n-productive of runs. The fielding
On both sides was almost perfect, not
chance being refused. Aside from
the work OF the batteries, the onlyi
notable features were brilliant catchesl
by Kelly, Brodie, McGarr and Blake,j
and the splendid work OF jennings at

Thesrun.R citing began in the second, (
when Brodie got home on Carey's rat

ing rea;hed first on force hit and
second on GIeason's sacrifice. Two
more were made in the third, McGraw
and Keeler coming home on a bunt by
Mcdraw, another by Keller, single by
Jennings. Kelly hit by pitcher, and a
long fly by Brodie.
This performance was duplicated la
the seventh, Keller going to first on
