LAST DAYS DEBATE.
Concluding Discussion of the
Long Debate Begun.
The Purchasing Power of Wages
is Considered.
GOLD MEMS FIGURES.
Mr.. Harvey Says They Can't be
Relied On.
Coxyc M TI0v4,9c, A av1Rc A
GOLD MEMS FIGURES.
Says Mr.. Horr'S Arguments Are
the BuIwark Of Tyranny.

CHICAGO, July 27.-The last day of
this afternoon. Mr.. Horr opened the
days talk with a comparison OF the
wages and the cost of products during
the years from 1860 to 1890 as shown in
the ole prepared by Statistician Carroll
D. Wright
With wages and pric les in 1860 taken
as the index or 100, it showed that in
1890, prices were 80; wages 159. and the
purchasing power of wages 172 Mr.
Horr proceeded to argue that at no time
in the history of the nation was the coun-
try as prosperous as it was at that time,
in spite of the "crime of 1878"
He submitted that these statistics
were more applicable to the conditions
under discussion than those of Mr..
Sauerbeck, quoted by Mr. Harvey on
Thursday, as Mr.. Sauerbeck's figures
were made from prices in England.
Mr.. Harvey in turn took up the matter
of the prices of wheat for a series of
years in reply to Mr.. Horr's statement on
Thursday that the farmer had received
as much for his produce in gold as he
had received before silver was demone-
tized. For answer he quoted the prices
from year to year.
He declared that the arguments of Mr..
Horr were those which had been used in
all time to bulwerk tyranny The
! declaration of independence was
the proper answer to such argu-
ments. Mr.. Harvey proceeded by saying
that the proper index of prices was to
measure them in articles of international
uses. Tables made up by gold men
/ even, OH these articles, showed that they
were lower than in 1859
! Referring to Mr.. Horr's argument touch
ing the measure of value in human
toll, Mr.. Harvey quoted from an article
! by Mr.. Horr in a New York paper in
I replying to a CORES pondent suggesting
the making of SO much work the equiv
alent of dollar. Mr.. Horr declared the
proposition absurd and confusing.

MAssACRE NOT CREDITED.
Washington Offc ais Do Not Believe the
Reported KiIllnK.

WASHINGTON, July ga dispatch
sent by Agent Tetor of the Fort Hall,
Idaho, Indian reservation from Idaho
Falls shortly after midnight. was re-
ceiyed at the Indian bureau today. 1t
stated that the agent had joined General
Coppinger en- route to the scene of
trouble.
Messenger sent from the agency to
the Bannocks have returned from Jack
sons Hole and report that the Indians
will not resist arrest.
The dispatch makes no mention of
the reported wholesale massacre at
Jackson's Hole, and little credence is
given the massacre story by bureau Off
cials. They say that in the event of
Such massacre the bureau would have
been immediately informed by the gene
raj or his representatives.
W. w. TetOr, brother of Agent Tetor,
arrived in Washington yesterday from
Idaho, where he has been visiting his
brother He left Fort Hall July II. He
does not credit the stories of the massacre
and thinks the whole matter is much ex-
aggerated The first news received at
the agency of the trouble was from a
sQuaw-man at Jackson Hole who rather
derided the efforts of the settlers to en-
force the game laws.
Writing on July IA, he said that the
justice Of the peace had been issuing
warrants and the constable serving them
and that so far they had arrested one
blind Indian and two pappooses.
Only nine Bannocks were reported in
the jackson Hole district at that time.
Mr.. Tetor says the trouble comes from
the settlers who have been acting as
guides to parties of Yellowstone park
tourists and from the white hunters.
He denies positively that Indians kill
game wantonly or wastefully, and says
the white hunters and guides kill elk
use what they can at the moment, and
| leave the rest to spoil When the car
cass is found, the whites charge it to the
| Indians
''When an Indian kills an elk" con
cluded Mr.. Tetor, che takes and uses al
of it, hair. meat, hoofs and horns. That
/ is his nature"

work. I know there are several men in
Jackson's Hole that will shoot straight
and remain cool, but they are overbal-
anced by the rattle Drained, but if these
men have been picketed 6y the Ind dians,
as l fear, they have fought to the bitter
end, one and all"
The news courier, Seymour. arrived at
Market Lane at midnight. after having
ridden $50 miles, and reported as fol-
lows:
son Wednesday Robert Miles. cat
tIeman living at Jackson's Hole, came
out of Teton basin bringing his wife and
two sisters. The Hole men did not GO
into Hoback canon as they planned and
told General Sitter they would do
on Tuesday. They, however. sent
twenty scouts out to locate
the Indians and one scout re-
ports his saddle horse was stolen by the
Indians and he was ambushed two days
in the timber. If the reinfOrcements
from Lander got into the Hole Wednes-
day they intended going down into Ho-
back basin at once.
"The scouts report the Indians camped
on the ground where the Indians were
killed on the 14th inst There were signal
fires on Conalt creek, undoubtedly lit by
Lcmhis. Thirty five men left the Hole
Tharsday afternoon TO meet a posse
coming over from Green river to help
them by way of Gros Ventre pass.
Lemhi Indians ran out some miners
Thursday afternoon from the head of
North Teton river into the basin"
1t would seem that the Hole people
are contented to remain in their fortifica-
tions in JacksOn's Hole now they know
cavalry is coming. The Teton basin
people have fortifcations at the month
of Trail Creek canon, and they too are
now content to stay in there. Sheriff
Warner of Fremont county Idaho, calls
on the state for arms and ammunition.

FROM HILL TO HILL.
The Rich1and Paper Tells About tn
CIoudburst in Southern shawnee Count

The Rich1and Paper Tells About the
CIoudburst in Southern Shawnee County
Reports of the cloudburst in the south
ern part of the county, on the 17th,
which flooded Richland, have been pub
lished In the JOURNAL in a desultory
manner from time to time. The Rich
land Argosy of Thursday gives an inter-
esting account of the foods damage. It
says that 10 inches of rain fell, and water
from 1 foot to 40 inches deep
flowed through the streets of Rich
land The Argosy says that forty
years ago when the valley was first
settled, "the Indians when the waters
ragged violently in the ordinarily peace
full Camp creek, would join their pale
faced neighbors and point their fingers
to the waters and then from one bluff to
to another. This intimation of high
water was given no credence by their
white brethren and regarded as only the
product of a vivid Imagination. But to-
day it is stern reality which forces the
truth upon US, that there is such a thing
as water from hill to hill"
The Argosy says: "Since the water has
cleared away, so we know where we are,
it is found the damage to Richlaud ID
great The injnry to crops will proba-
bly, not be so large as was estimated last
week. but the condition of the roads
leading to town are such that business is
largely impaired. The Wakarusa bridge
being down, is great injury to trade.
The old ford below is being used. but
the banks of the river are SO bad that it
is even hard work for team to pull an
empty wagon up them"
Houses and stores were flooded. Among
the principal sufferers was the drug store
and residence of L. w. Blaisdell. The
drug store had 10 inches of water in it,
4 = =
icines. etc, were practically ruined. The
residence had 16 inches of water. Scores
of carpets in the houses were ruined by

A CORREsPONDENrs STORY.
Fears that United States Troops May be
Ambnshed and KILLED.

DENVER, Col. July 27.-The News cor
respondent at Market Lake makes the
following personal report:
81 left here late Wednesday night de-
termined to verify the rumor brought in
by the stage driver that fight had oc-
CURED and that many whites had been
killed. After riding so miles my horse
gave out was lucky enough to meet
Teton basin settler whose brother is
with the posse in Jackson's Hole and
when l told him that feared the whites
had been trapped by the redskins in Ho-
back canon, Tuesday, the 23d, he agreed
to go on as far as he could and report
particulars to me here tonight
81 am cOuhdent he never will cross
into JacksOn's Hole, for Indian scouts
are watching Teton pass. l now believe
it will require more troops. l am conf
dent if the troops to arrive here tomor-
row attempt TO go throu gh the Hoback
canon trail, they will meet the fate of
the citizens of Jackson's Hole who went
into that Indian trap. if they did as they
told both Adjutant General Sitter and
myself they would do Tuesday morning
last.
''Hoback canon trail can only be fol-
lowed single file, and going into some of
the numerous fords of the Hoback river

The trail is full of sharp angles and
sudden turns Eighteen miles east of the
junction Of HOback river and the Snake
river the canon opens out into Hoback
basin, which is about eight miles by
four with fine grass and spring water all

is the present point in danger of mas
sacre now that the jackson Hole citi-
zens are all butchered He reports
that the smoke of large fire can be
seen several miles south of the Grand
Teton in the direction of Jacksons
Hole. There is no doubt that
the redskins have fired every home
and cabin there and by morn
ing they will be repeating their
work this side of the Teton range in
Teton basin, and perhaps after that
all down the Teton river valley in
Idaho. Two hundred Utes were re-

been all along placing no confidence in
the "Indian scare" as they called it.

CROKER On THE ENGLISH.
Their Elections Are Corrupt Ours,
But the Press Is COwArdly.


But the Press Is COwArdly.
LONDON, July PA great many
Americans whose minds run to politics
took advantage of the elections in Lon
don to study the manner of conducting
them as compared with the American
methods. Among the Americans were
TWO who probably know as much about
elections as any others in the United
States. One was Richard Croker.
From the little that Mr.. Croker saw he
is of the opinion that there is just as
much corruption in London as there is
in any American city
THE only difference" said Mr.. Croker,
"is that the newspapers here dare not
speak of any corruption if it existed. |
am inclined to believe that if the papers
had the license that the American pa
pers have, and had as enterprising re-
porters as our American newspapers
have, there would be just as much scan
dal as is stirred up in American cities"
