NOT DECIDED YET.

Commissioner Browning Doesn't Know of
Contemplated Arrests.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Speaking of
the dispatch from Market Lake stating
that the jackson Hole settlers would
be arrested and tried for killing several
Indians accused Of violation of the
Wyoming game laws, Commissioner
Browning said that he knew of no
steps having been taken in this direc-
ton, but that the measure had not yet
been considered by the bureau. He
added that the Indian office would well
come legal test of the right of the In
dams to kill game in defiance of the
state laws.
eve should like to stop their hunt
ing, he said, but have no power to do
SO. The treaty is plain, and is binding
on us. If the courts decide that the
state law is superior to the treaty of
the United States government with the
Indians, the matter will be settled and
we shall be very glad to see it,

SURPRISE IN STORE
Settlers in Jackson Hole Will
Be Arrested for Killing
Indians.
EVERYTHING QUIET THERE
Two Scouts Arrive at Rexburg
From the Seat of the
Trouble,

MARKET LAKE, Ida, July 30.-1t is
reported that there is surprise in
store for the settlers in Jackson Hole,
most of whom believe the troops are
only going to that section to protect
the settlers from the Indians. 1t is
stated that indictments will be sworn
out against every one Of the settlers
who were connected with the killing of
the Indians who tried to escape while
under arrest. This is in line with the
recommendation made by Indian Agent
Teter in his official report of the orig
inal trouble. The settlers will be put
on trial for taking the Indians lives.
and in this way the long mooted ques-
ton Of authority in Jackson Hole will
eventually reach legal settlement. It
is said to be the intention of the war
department to prevent any blood being
shed by either side if possible, and en-
deavor to get the Indians to return
quietly to their reservations

The Government Believed to Have Lost
Heavily Through Assay Agents..
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-On account
OF many recent complaints in connec-
ton with the government assay serv-
ice, especially in regard to the impor-
tatlon OF lead ores, the secretary of the
treasury sent out number of letters
to assay agents at various ports of en-
try making inquiry as to the amount
OF ores imported at their respective
stations during the past year and it's
grade. AS has been heretofore stated.
it is believed that the government has
lost great deal of revenue Justly due
1t, either through the corrupt or negli-
gent assay agents, who regulate ore far
below its real grade, thereby saving
duty to the importers and losing reve-
nue. to the government. The treasury
officials expect that this investigation
into the condition of the work of the
government assayers will bring to light
some very interesting and perhaps
criminal developments

They Deliberately Provoke tho Indians

KANSAS CITY, July 3O-J. A. South
'ern OF Wardner, Idaho, is in the city.
Speaking of the reports from Jackson
Hole, he pronounced them false, and
charges that irresponsible correspond
'ents are responsible for them.
1.-The truth Of the matter isl he
said, ''that cattle barons with ranges
In Wyoming and Idaho are determined
to secure the Bannock reservation for
pasturage for their cattle. With this
object in view they have Systematically
and deliberately provoked the Indians
for the past three years. If they can
cause the uprising they will strive to
secure the Indians removal to another
district. Perhaps some settlers have
been killed, but you will eventually
learn that not one murder was done bv
the Lemhi's Or Bannock Indians. It is
a notorious fact among the people of
Idaho and Wyoming that cattle barons
in the Teton valley country have caused
all the trouble in that section"

BEER THE issue NOW
Brewers Will Defeat the Party
That Increases the Tax,
-. They Say. .~@ i
THEIR ATTORNEY SPEAKS.
Giving Out Dire Threats of
Vengeance-Some Things
He Said.

CHICAGO, July 30.-A special to!The
Post from New York says: The brew
ers are in war paint. Their fight in
congress next winter to prevent an in
crease in the internal revenue tax on
beer will be directed from this city,
which is the headquarters Of the ma
tional association, and also powerful
ence between the East and the West
on this question, said Ashbel P. Fitch,
general counsel for the brewers.
Politicians Wouldn't Dare.
''All will suffer alike, regardless of
geographical location, and all are alike
interested in defeating the tax. And
h will be defeated. No political party
will dare take the responsibility of
making the increase
In making this fiat footed declara.
ton, Mr.. Fitch said that he was not
spe aking as the representative of the
brewers. Mr.. Fitch served three terms
and part of a fourth in congress, be.
ginning as q Republican and winding
up as Democrat, resigning less than
two years ago to accept the more lu-
crative position of comptroller of the
city of New York, which he still holds.
Mr.. Fitch has been the legal advisor in
chief of the brewers for many years,
and his clients have the most unlim
tied confidence in him.
Should Take a Lesson.
''1f the Republican party in congress
passes law to add another dollar a
barrel to the tax on BEER" he said, ''it
will be overwhelmed under a wave O:
popular disapproval. The tidal wave
of last year will be reversed if they
should do anything like that. The re-
suit of the elections in England should
be an object lesson to politicians, illus
trative Of the power and influence OF
the brewing interests when aroused an6
combined for given object"
Dodged the Question.
To the observation that in Washing
ton the belief prevailed in Quarters
very close to the administration thai
the president would recommend an in
crease in the beer tax, or at least take
some equally unmistakabie means Of
letting it be known that he will sig1
such bill, if it is passed by congress
MIR. Fitch parted by asking if the ad
ADMINISTRATION favored the tax last win
ter, when the question was pressed ho
upon congress. He would not return
to the point, although reminded tha
the conditions then and now were
totally dissimilar. 1t is said to b.
likely the brewers will concen
trate their tactics on individual
congressman living in districts wher,
they can set up plausible claim tina
they hold balance of power in votin.
strength. Whether they will be sue
cessful remains to be seen.
In the North the country members
it is claimed, have little fear of tn,
beer element, and in the South tn,
same indifference obtains among tn.
Democrats.
