NEW WORKERS GO DRY.

Excise Laws Strictly Enforced by the
Police.
NEW YORK, July 30.-The police
made q supreme effort to enforce the
excise law Sunday, and to all appear.
ances they realized their expectations
almost to the letter. To all practical
purposes the law was SO thoroughly en-
forced that not a saloon was open tC
the general public and so fearful had
the saloonkeepers become of the citizen
spy that it was difficult matter for
even the initiated to get drink at any
place unless the proprietor or the man
in charge was absolutely certain that
no danrer would follow the admission
OF the lsould-bo customer in the shape
OF . summons to court i'll the morning.
AT the clubs, also, the excise law was
to all appearances strictly observed.
The precinct commanders had strict
orders from Acting Chief Conlin to see
that clubs We're dealt with as saloons
have been.

CATTLE 6ARONs TO BLAME.

They Deliberately Provoke the Indians
and Cause the Trouble.
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.
''The truth Of the matter is,'' 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 by
the Lemhi's or Bannock Indians 1t 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"

Those Convicted at Devils Lake Having a
Great Time.
RoLLA, N. D., July 20. The closing
scene in a series OF farces is now being
enacted here. Fifteen breeds were con-
victed of resistance to officers and tax
ing wood off government land, were
sentenced to fines and imprisonment
varying from $3 and days, to $25 and
80 days, with one or two at higher fig
ures, at the United States court at
Devils Lake. None of the fines
will be paid. These prisoners were
sent away from Ramsey county
Jail, with plenty of cells, to Rolette
county, where the court knows there is
no Jail and only one cage. The Indians
sleep in the town hall and roam the
streets at pleasure. They are having a
grand picnic at the public's expense.
This is the outcome Of all the hue and
cry OF last winter and spring, the up-
rising Of the breeds, the marching to
and fro Of United States marshals and
the expenditure of tens Of thousands of
dollars. The breeds will be very fool.

The Government believed to Have Lost
Heavily Through Assay Agents.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-On accoun:
OF many recent complaints in connec-
tion with the government assay serv-
ice, especially in regard to the impor-
tation o. 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 its
grade. As has been heretofore stated,
it is believed that the government has
lost great deal of revenue justly due
it, 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.

SURPRISE IN STORE

EVERYTHING QUIET THERE
Two Scouts Arrive at RexburR
From the Seat of the
Trouble.

MARKET LAKE, Ida. July 3O-It 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 We're 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.
tion Of authority in Jackson Hole will
eventually reach a legal settlement. II
is said to be the intention of the wal
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.

NOT DECIDED YET.

Commissioner Browning Doesn't Know Of
Contem plated Arrests.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Speak ng 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-
tion, but that the measure had not yet
been considered by the bureau. He
added that the Indian office would vel.
come legal test of the right of the In.
dians to kill game in defiance of the
state laws.
1--WE should like to stop their hunt
ing, he said, but have no power to do
so. The treaty is plain, aud 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.

ST. PAUL, July 3O.-The Washington
correspondent OF the Pioneer Press
sends the following:
The act passed at the last session of
congress for the appointment of COM
missioners to inspect the mineral dis
tricts in. the Northwest, which was re-
Gently carried out by sending these
commissioners into the field, has
created considerable amusement in the
land department here. The act pro-
vidsd that these commissioners shall
receive $40 per day and their expenses,
and that they shall complete the work
OF designating what lands within the
railroad grants in the Northwest are
mineral, the title to which must re-
main III the government. within two
Years. 1t is estimated that there are
somewhere between four and ten mil
lion acres of such mineral lands, and it
has been computed by the officials Of
the land office that these commission
ers will be able to complete their work
in somewhere
Between Four and Ten Years,
at an expense of probably a few less
million dollars. These estimates are
based upon computations Of the area
winch these commissioners will cover
each year at the best possible speed
they are able to make. 1t is estimated
that the commissioners will cover in
going over the land grants about 20 or
20 miles day ON horseback. This will
be on direct line through each section
OF land, and, as jokingly remarked by
the land office officials, there might be
tons of precious metals hidden through
tracts OF land on one side or the other
OF the routes selected by the inspectors.
But even Oh the supposition that they

the sections i'll controversy, 1t would
take many years for them to traverse
all the lands suspected of being mineral
and the expense would aggregate more
than 25 cents per acre for all the lands
SO visited. This is more than double
the average cost to the government of
all the lands it possesses.
Was Hasty Legislation.
The mineral lands act was passed on
the urgent solicitation of citizens in the
Northwestern states. who believe that
large quantities of valuable mineral
lands lying within the grant or indem-
nifty limits of the railroads are being
patented to those roads in violation of
law. In order to determine what part
of these lands are mineral it will be
necessary to make some sort Of inspec-
ton. Without consulting the officials
OF the land office to ascertain the best
way to determine what part of the
lands are mineral, the Western repre-
sentatives in congress secured the pass.
age OF the act providing for the ap-
pointmeht of mineral land inspectors.
If the estimates of the land officials are
anywhere nearly correct, very little
will have been accomplished by the
time the law expires under which these
inspectors are operating, and it will be
necessary to extend these acts for many
years and provide for the expenditure
of many hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars in order to carry out the wishes OF
the Western people that no valuable
mineral lands shall be given to railroad
companies.

Sensational browns Valley kidnapping

WICHITA, Kan, July 30. This city
was thrown into excitement when it
was discovered that Mabel Worth, a
young lady living here. was none other
than Ollie German, who was kidnapped
10 years ago, supposedly by gypsies,
from her parents at Browns Valley,
Traverse county, Minnesota. Her dis
appearance has been a mystery in that
section of the state, aud it has been
woven into scores of romantic stories.
About two weeks ago lady from
Browns Valley, while visiting here,
met Mabel Worth, and her resem-
blance to the missing child's mother
was SO striking that she began an in
vestigation Mrs. Worth became
alarmed and, with Mabel, left the city
and has not been seen since. The po-
lice are looking into the matter.

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

CHICAGO, July 3O.-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
local organization. There isno differ.
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
it will be defeated. No political party
will dare take the responsibility of
making the increase"
In making this fiat footed declara-
rion, 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 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 Lesson.
''If the Republican party in congress
passes a law to add another dollar q
barrel to the tax on beer" he said, lit
will be overwhelmed under wave O:
popular disapproyal. 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 and
combined for given object"
Dodged the Question.
To the observation that in Washing.
ton the belief prevailed in Quarters
very close to the administration that
the president would recommend an in.
crease in the beer tax, or at least take
some equally unmistakable means OF
letting it be known that he will sign
such bill, if it is passed by congress
Mr.. Fitch parried by asking if the ad.
ministration favored the tax last win
ter, when the question was pressed hot
upon congress. He would not return
to the point, although reminded that
the conditions then and now were
totally dissimilar. 1t is said to be
likely the brewers will concen
trate their tactics on individual
congressman living in districts where
they can set mp plausible claim thai
they hold balance Of power in voting
strength. Whether they will be sue
cessful remains to be seen.
In the North the country members
it is claimed, have little fear of the
beer element, and in the South the
same indifference obtains among the
Democrats
