EIGHT AMERICANS MURDERED.
Massacred by Ipdians While Placer Mining
In Mexico.

DENuNG, N. NJ, June 22.-News has
just reached here from Sonora, Mex,
that eight Americans engaged in
placer gold mining on Yaki river
were attacked and killed by Indians
about two weeks ago. The men had
been successful in obtaining gold,
having just put in machinery and
sluices, and the murders were probably
committed for the purpose of robbery.
The miners had evidently made
brave resistance, as empty shells of
Winchester rifles were found all about
the scene. The place where the kill
ing occurred is several hundred miles
in the interior and is cut off from all
communication.

Requisition Made Upon the Treasury De-

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The assist
ant secretary of the interior signed
acquisitions upon the treasury depart
ment for more than S13, 900, 900 pension
money to be paid out on July 4. In
stead of drawing out the full amount
of money needed for the quarterly pay
ment of pensions, the interior de-
partment now makes requisi-
ton monthly and distributes the
money, depositing it at the va
rious cities, so that it will be easier
both for the treasury department and
better transmission methods to the
various agencies. If the full $40, 900, 900
was sent out every three months it
would be too large drain on the treas
ury, and too large sum to be trusted
to ordinary methods of transmission.

New Plan Devised for Facilitating Bet
ter Returns.

WASHINGTON, June %. = Secretary
Morton yesterday affixed his official
signature to the order for the adoption
of the heraldic seal of the department.,
which is the joint production of the
secretary and Gen. Mcbride. Secretary
Morton has decided to issue an order
abolishing twenty-one of the state
agents of the agricultural department
and providing for the reorganization
of the states in question into groups
for the purpose of collecting crop re-
ports While all the details have not
been perfected it is contended that
when the plans shall be completed the
United States shall be divided into
twenty-one districts. Seven of these
will comprise only one state each,
while the remaining thirty light states
will be arranged in fourteen groups
with an agent for each group or for
each state, which constitutes a dis
trict in itself. It is still undecided
in some cases as to what agents
shall be dispensed with and no
names have been given out. This step
is one of the results of the plan for the
reorganization of the method of gath
ering crop returns adopted by the
secretary as the result of conferences
held with the department statistician
and the committee appointed by the
national board of trade. which met in
this city last winter. Steps have been
taken also for increasing the number
of correspondents who are required to
report directly to the department.

RISING TIDE OF INDUSTRY.

DuB's Review Gives a Hopeful ew Il
Nearly All Lines-Crop Rep,r ..
New YORK, June 22-R G. Dun's
weekly review of trade says: From
all parts of the United States the best
advices obtainable tell of rising tide
of trade and industry, which threatens
here and there to mount too far and
too fast The volume of all business
is by no means equal to that of 1892 as
yet, though in some important branches
larger than in that of any other year.
Two influences of tremendous power
contribute to the rise-encouraging
crop news and confident replenishing
of stocks which have been for two
years depleted to the utmost.
Excepting too heavy rains in Texas,
crop reports this week have been high
ly encouraging. Future injury to cot
ton cannot be predicted, but as yet
nothing indicates yield below z 5O0,-
600 bales, which is not supposed to
threaten famine if commercial and mill
stock were remembered. now exceeding
by 100000 bales a full consumption
until Septem Der /. Receipts continue

lhdAlIAun mere duu dDTOdu. UUOugn bl6
marketing of British goods is not en-
tirely encouraging. Liberal purchases
of all products by the south do not in
dicate belief that any serious misfor-
tune impends. So the strong trade in
wheat growing states accords with
brighter crop prospects.
Reports from spring wheat states and
from the Pacific coast are SO cheering
that although the loss of winter wheat
was large there, and those estimates
have been most accurate in recent
years now vary in predictions from
43O, 900, 900 to 40, 200, 900 bushels. At
lantic exports for three weeks, -four
included, have been only 3,75S,7lS,
against 6,OO6, 232 last year, indicating
no urgent demand at current prices.
There has been a fall of cents in
wheat with heavier sales than for three
weeks.
Failures for the week have been 22s
in the United States against PA last
year and 81 in Canada against 25 last
year.

The Congregational church at North Greenwich was burned to the ground, Sunday morning, as the members were on their way to attend service. The cause of thetfire was the defective piping from the wood stoves under the gallery. The piping goes through the gallery, and the heat ignited the woodwork. When the church was opened there was con- siderable smoke about the building and soon there was big blaze that spread with great rapidity about the building. The members of the church, with quick work, saved the Sunday school library and the pulpit furniture. The church was built in 1926 and was substantial edifice. The loss will amount to 412, 900.
