Governor Richards Inaugurates an
Educational Campaign.
TEE CONFERENCE at SALT LAKE
Proposed Convention to Be Held
in Minnesota.
SUSTAINING MEXICAN CREDIT

HELENA, Mont, April 8.-Gov. Richards
has inaugurated an educational campaign
on the silver question In line with plans
formulated by himself and Thomas G. Mer-
rill. The intention is to place bimetallic
literature in the hands Of voters through
out the Union, this course being deemed
more effective than any other plan OF
reaching the citizen.
The governor has arranged for a con-
ference to perfect an organization, which
will be held in Salt Lake City May 15. He
has sent letter to the governors Of Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington. Nevada, Ida
no. Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
and Colorado, asking them to appoint three
delegates to attend the conference.
CHICAGO, April S-A special from St.
Paul, Mimi, says there will be free silver
convention in Minnesota during the coming
summer or fall. 1t will most likely be held
in the latter part of September or the early
days-of October. Promoters of the idea
are moving quietly and hope within a
month or two to have the plan sufficiently
lie. At present the pronounced free silver
men in the congressional districts are be-
ing consulted as to the feasibility and the
advisability Of holding such a convention.
MEXICO CITY. Mexico, April s.-The
falling in silver exchange has had con-
tinued beneficial effect on Mexico's remit
tances abroad. The only drawback to a
larger volume of business has been that
to buyers at the ruling quotations. The
volume of business was larger last week
than that of the week before, and the i'm
mense surplus of money in the big house is
being cut down.
For the first time in the history of the
Mexican republic the national budget for
the fiscal year, beginning July 1 next, does
not show deficit The budget committee
hn mr. ant tod ffc hnf
and reports an excess over expenditures
of S1OO,O00. The result of the efforts made
to balance receipts and expenditures in the
face of the great depreciation of Mexican
silver is a surprise even to the most san
guine.
Secretary of the Treasury Llmantour and
the entire administration are being con-
graduated on all sides at the result of the
efforts to sustain Mexico's credit since the
silver crash. which. for a time, threatened
to overwhelm this country.

This Desperate Escaped.
DIR. BUCHANAN's CASE.
Ths Convicted Wife PofsOncr Has
Become Depressed.

SING SING, N. Y, April s.-Dr. Bu-
chanan, the wife poisoner, has become very
nervous and depressed since the court of
appeals affirmed his conviction. After this
decision was rendered Buchanan decided
to change his counsel and employed an
other lawyer for the purpose of carrying
his case to the United States court. This
was his only hope. Buchanan was some
what surprised when he was notified re-
Gently by his lawyer that he could not
possibly present his case in the United
States court at Washington before April
D. The condemned man now realizes that
there is little chance of his execution be-
ing further postponed.
Warden Sage is now going on with prep
arations for the execution on Monday,
April %. He has received over 100 appli-
cations from medical men, electrical eX-
perts and others who desire to witness the
execution. The law will not permit the
warden to grant over thirty of the appli-
cations and these invitations will be sent
out next week. Not much interest has
been shown in condemned murderer at
Sing Sing since Carlyle Harris was exc
cuted, two wears ago.

NlCARAGUA'S REPLY
Her Answer to Great Britain's Ultimatum
An1iously Awaited.
Gen. Barrios VIII Return Here After
Ono Diplomats Views.

The answer of Nicaragua to Great
Britain's ultimatum is being anxiously
awaited by officials and diplomats. and
until 1t is made known there promise to
be no further developments in this con-
troversy, which has indirectly involved the
United States. The answer is due almost
any day now, although 1t is anticipated
that Nicaragua will take the full limit of
time accorded by the British ultimatum.
Gen. Barrios the special envoy Of Mic
aragua, left here about two weeks ago to
confer with his government as to accept
ing or rejecting the ultimatum. He was
delayed en- route by an accident to the
steamer, but it is believed he has reached
Nicaragua by this time.
Gen. BarriOs VIII Come Back Here.
After comforting with his government, he
expects to return to Washington. 1t is not
yet apparent what the purposes Of these
movements are. except that they probably
relate to further efforts on the part of
Gen. Barrios to enlist the cooperation of
the United States in case the ultimatum is
rejected.
The presence of Gen. Barrios in Mica
ragua makes 1T possible that the govern
ment may make known it's purposes at any
time. and yet diplomats are inclined to be-
feve there will be no positive announce
ment until Gen. Barrios returns to Wash
ington, or the time limit of the ultimatum
draws to a close. One of the diplomats
connected with the matter says:
One Diplomats Views.
IF 1t was simply a matter Of paying
Great Britain $4,000, that would be quickly
done. But an agreement to pay this
amount carries an agreement of much
more. 1t tacitly admits that Consul Hatch
was enormously elected from Nicaragua,
end is at liberty to return. If he goes back
he will foment further disorder and be a
source of irritation to Nicaragua And if
10000 is paid for Consul Hatch there will
be much larger amount demanded for
the other British citizens elected at the
same time. The Hatch case is merely a
test for large number, and if Nicaragua
yields to this one it comedies the justice of
ALL"
Senator MOrgan's Opinion.
Senator Morgan thinks the purpose Of the
English government in sending a battle
ship to the Nicaraguan coast is to enforce
the demands which will probably soon be
made for indemnifcation on account of the
expulsion of Consul Hatch and that IL 1t is
refused the Royal Arthur will take the
matter in hand, and secure the indemnifica-
ton by collecting the customs duties on
Nicaraguan importations. In that event he
thinks Nicaraguas wisest course would be
TO convene her congress and pass law for
the admission of all importations free of
duty. In conclusion, he said the other ma
porters to Venezuela should pay duty to
England in the absence of a tariff in Mica
ragua, and England's policy would be eff
fectively blocked

THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE.
The President Considering It's Exten-
sions to Chiefs of Divisions.

The civil service commission recently
submitted to the President further cores
pondence and data, setting forth the bene-
fits to be derived by placing under the civil
service regulations the offices of chiefs of di-
visions ip the various departments. 1t is un-
derstood that the President has not yet had
time to act upon these matters, but that he
will during the summer make the eXten-
sions. The commission will regard this as
a most important step in the direction Of
reducing the number of places now subject
to political favor, and will demonstrate its
contention that such offices can be as well
administered from an absolutely non-parti-
san basis as other offices now in the class
flied service.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The follow.
ing dispatch from Indian Agent Tetor
dated Rexburg, Idaho, near Market
Lake, July %, was received today:
son the 9th inst. met Sheriff
Hawley near Rexburg, returning from
Jackson Hole, where he had been sent
to ascertain whether the settlers had
been killed by the Indians. Hawley
stated the settlers had not been mo-
Tested by the Indians, who are sup
posed to be encamped about 40 miles
from the settlement in o practically
impregnable position, There Is no
doubt of the fact that large body of
Lemhi Indians recently joined the
other Indians in Hoback canyon"
Speaking of the Indian disturbance
in northern Wyoming, General Scho-
field today expressed his opinion in a
discreet manner. The Indians will
soon surrender and return to their
reservations. The only way they
could cause trouble is by scattering
and taking to the mountains, but he
thought it unlikely they would precip-
itate hostilities now that the soldiers
are. e.coming.
Speaking of a dispatch from Market
Lake, stating that Jackson Hole set
tiers are to be arrested and tried for
killing the Indians accused of VIOLA
tion of the Wyoming game laws,
Commissioner Browning says he knew
of no steps being taken in this di-
rection. He added the Indian Office
would welcome legal test of the
right of Indians to kill game in def
ance of state laws. If the courts de-
eide the law is superior to the treaty of
the United States government with
the Indians, the matter will be settled,
and he would be glad OF 1t, he said.

CHICAGO, July 29,-William August
Kenkel, ex-captain in the Prussian
navy and the recipient of knighthood
and a title for bravery in battle, from
Prussia's king, lies dying in the hos
pital. Crazed by suffering which he
had endured for more than 20 years,
he fired two bullets into his brain last
evening.
Kenkel came to Chicago in 1871.
He had invented machine with which
to pearl" barley and had sold his in
vention to a firm in this city. One oi
the conditions of the sale was that the
inventor should be given employment
in the mill. Shortly after he went to
work Kenkel became overheated and
although he survived the injury to his
health, he never recovered from it.
He was constantly in pain. In letter
which Kenkel wrote just before shoot.
ing himself he said he could no longer
stand this terrible pain.

DENVER, July 27.-A special received
by the Ne,us at 2 A. M. from Market
Lake, Idaho, says: Courier Seymour
just arrived from the head of Teton
basin, report that the Jackson Hole
men did not go into Hoback canyon,
as they had planned, and told General
Sitter they would, Tuesday. They,
however, sent 20 scouts out to locate
the Indians. One scout reported his
saddle horse stolen by an Indian, and
he was hidden for two days in the
timber, IT reinforcements from
Lander got into the Hole Wednesday,
they intended going down into
Hoback basin at once, The scouts re-
port the Indians camped on the ground
where the Indians were killed ON the
18th.
Seymour reports a signal fire on
CQnant creek last night, undoubtedly
lit by Lemhis. Thirty-five men left
the Hole Thursday afternoon to meet
the posse coming over from Gros
Ventre pass.
The Lemhi Indians ran out some
miners Thursday afternoon from the
head of North Teton river into the
basin. 1t seems the Hole people are
eontented to remain in their fortifica-
tions in Jackson Hole, now that they
know the cavalry is coming.
The Teton basin people have fortifi-
cations at the mouth of Trail creek
canyon, and they, too, are content to
stay there. Sheriff Warner, of Fremont
county, Idaho, called on the state for
arms and ammunition.
The courier rode 155 miles since
yesterday noon.

A band of Banneck Indians, under

get there. and they undoubtedly will,
the result may be disastrous. Bal

up to the average, and this combined
