LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Report on the Recent Trouble With
the Bannacks.
INDIAN RIGHTS ASSOCIATION INQUIRY
Region Should Be Added to the
National Park.
THE ONLY TON

MADISON, SD, September 14.-At the
ccncIrsion of the Bannack troubles in
Idaho and Wyoming, some time ago. the
Rev. w. J. Cleveland of this place was
commissioned by the Indian Rights Asso-
citation of Philadelphia to visit Jackson's
Hole and make an investigation in behalf
of the society of the causes of the out
break.
Mr.. Cleyeland's long years of experience
in Indian work made him particularly de-
sirable person for the enterprise, and no
pains have been spared to make the in
vestiGaton thorough. Much o. the infor-
nation came from the Indians themselves,
while the rest was gathered from the Uni
ted States troops and settlers engaged in
the suppression of the outbreak.
Mr.. Cleveland in his report tells how the
Indians were out hunting in the noun tains
of Wyoming, around the Jackson's Hole
country, according to their treaty rights,
were arrested on the charge of violating the
game laws of Wyoming, pronounced guilty
and fined beyond their ability to pay.
Mr.. Cleveland, in concluding his report,
says:
1.-The people of Jackson's Hole, on their
own admission, elected their present justice
of the peace and constable, and swore in
about thirty additional deputy marshals.
with the express purpose of keeping the
Indians out Of the mountains this year.
''They had special reason for wishing to
do so. Nine-tenths of them, at least so
their justice stated, derive their support
from game-huntng tourists. for whom
they act as guides. etc, at high rates.
These tourists leave thousands of dollars
in the Hole each year and are increasing
in Plumbers and eagerness to kill bull
elk and get his horns at any cost
THE orly solution of the Jackson's Hole
difficulty. as well as the only possibility
of preserving the large game for which the
o.fici lls express so great anxiety, will be
founi in adding the Jaokson's Hole coun-
try to the National Park and putting it
under the same restrictions.
"It is of no particular use to the state of
Wyoming. but 1t Is a natural winter re-
sort, and the only reliable winter feeding
ground for the large game, both of the
present national park and of all the sur
rounding country"

There was a large attendance at the
meeting of the Union Republican Club at
Wizards last evening. T. J. Losier, the
president of the club. in the chair. Over
fifty new members were admitted, includ-
ms several members of Congress. Mr..
Losier, who was delegated to represent the

sentative of this club he was accorded
hearty welcome. and when introduced by
the president Of the New York clubs the
president of the league said: Gentlemen,
I want to introduce to you the president Of
one of the largest and most influential Or
CARNATIONS in the country. Situated. as it
is, at the capital of these United States,
and composed. as it is. of representative re-
politicians. We should congratulate our
selves that We have such an organiza ton
in whom we can confide our trust, and
from whom We may realize much assist
ance." He said for many minutes there

unable to speak. The convention decided
to have all literature required procured
through the Union Club. and will so recon-
mend upon a circular throughout the state

SENATOR GRAY TALKS
He Gives His Views as to the Financial
Situation.
The Permanent Cure of the Disorder
Must De Left to Con-
greSs.

Senator Gray of Delaware was in Wash
ington on business today In the morning
he called on Secretary Carlisle and was at
the Capitol this afternoon. Speaking of
the financial situation he said that when
the returns began to come in from the cot
ton and wheat crops the present demand
upon the gold reserve would cease. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the permanent
cure of the disorder to our finances would
have to be by the action of Congress.
Il do not view the situation as partisan,
but think now as did before this admin
istraton was ifaugurated, that the evil
must be corrected by the divorce of the
the reformation of the policy established
by the laws since 1873 but which the gov
eminent was compelled to keep pile of
gold from which everybody was invited who
himself.
The Sherman redemption act was no
redemption at all. While it provided for
the redemption of the greenhacks it COM
operation the endless chain, as it has been
called. Until this is suppressed there
can be no permanent relief. The green
backs have got to be redeemed. 1t has
been apparent for years. but unwise lesis-
iation was leading up to it, and 1t has got
to be wiped out from the statute books
to put the treasury on a sound basis
do you think there is any proba bility of
an extra session of Congress being called
to do this?' was asked.
NO My opinion is that there will be no
extra session."
IF the law did not compel the reissue of
the greenoacks," 1t was suggested would
not the treasury have to continue reissuing
them. as they do the Sherman notes, to
meet expenses"
"Of course" replied the Senator there
has got to be provision made for that. The
government is compelled to use the money
derived from revenue. Congress should
these notes. Bonds might be issued for
the purpose but the detail is a matter to
be decided upon by Congress. 1t is cost
ing tie government untold millions to
| avoid the issuance of these bonds.
do you think this Congress will give the
relief desired?" was asked.
1T would be a crime" replied the Sena-
tor. Ito question the integrity of the re-
public"

THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY
Hotel Liquor Licenses and the 4O0-Feet
Limit.
Attorney Thomas Rules That the Law
Does Not Forbid Hotels From
Selling Liquor.

A most important question of interest to
liquor men generally has just been decided
by the attorney for the District He holds
In an opinion rendered to the Commission
ers this afternoon that section 16 Of the
act Of Congress amending the liquor law
and dated May II, 1894, does not apply to
hotels, except that it raises the number of
rooms which shall constitute a hotel from
twenty to twenty-five.
Under this ruling applicant If he has
a hotel. can obtain a liquor license there
for. even though it be within 400 feet of a
school house place of religious Worship
This opinion was called forth by the case
of William T. Whalen, who recently ap-
piled for liquor license at 80 9Th street
At that location he runs a large hotel,
known as the Virginia.
When the excise board called up the case
the representative OF the Anti-Saloon
League appeared and argued for the re-
lection of the license, on the ground that
the place was within 400 feet of the Acad-
envy of the Sacred Heart. and according to
the terms of the amendment to the liquor
law, dated May II, 1894, and known as Sec
ton liz. the excise board had no right to
grant the license.
Attorney Frank Madigan, who repre-
scented Mr.. Whalen however, held that this
amendment had nothing to do with the
case of hotels and referred to totally for
egn subjects. He urged that the former
opinions of the attorney be considered. and
he was positive that the license would is
sue, for there was no doubt tn, excise
beard had the authority to grant the Ii
cenSe.
Section 16, which, according to Attorney
Thomas opinion does not apply to hotels,
reads as follows:
THAT license for any of the purposes
specified in any section of said act shall
not be grated to airy person to conduct
school house, private school or house of
religious worship. measured between the
nearest entrance to each by the shortest
course of travel between such place of
business and any school house, private
school or house of religious worship, e.
cept In such places of business as were
located and licensed at tine date of the said
act, or previous to the erection of such
sch aol house. private school or place of
religious worship. 80
Attorney Thomas holds further that the
section above quoted does not repeal the
rights given to hotels under the 9TH section
of the original act, which reads:
provided, That any established hotel or
tavern having twenty chambers for lodging
guests shall always have right to obtain
for itself a license for a bar room on COM
plying with the provisions of this act. and
the petition in such case must be made by
the owner or lessee of such hotel or tay-
ern."
1t is expected the excise board will grant
the license at its next meeting.

THE PARIS BEHIND TINE.
No Apprehension, However, is FL
About Her.

No apprehension, However, is Felt
About Her.
NEW YORK, September 14.-The Ameri-
can line steamer Paris, Capt. Watkins, had
not been sighted up to II 80 this morning.
The Paris sailed from Southampton on
Saturday last, September I, passing the
Needles at 80 in the afternoon, and to
have equaIed her own record Of six days,
nine hours and thirty-seven minutes, she
was due at Sandy Hook hshtship at twelve
minutes past 6 yesterday afternoon. She is
therefore ABOUT seventeen hours behind her
record.
The Cunard line steamer Etruria, which
sailed from Queenstown on Sunday last,
the day after the Paris left Southampton,
arrived this morning, and reported that on
September IL. at 23O am, in latitude 4S.44
longitude, 3J.OS. she passed an American
line steamer bound west which was sup
posed to be the Paris. The Etruria had a
very rough passage, encountering strong
southwest and northwest gales throughout
the voyage and the Paris is probably hav-
ing the same experience, which would ac-
count for the delay. No anxiety is felt re-
garding her safety, as she is, as Is well
known, a stanch vessel, and Capt. Wat
kins is a cautious navigator.

MRS. MARY SHEA IN COURT.
She Is Charged With Receiving StOleI

She Is Charged With Receiving Stolen
Goods.
Mrs. Mary Shea, who used to be famil-
lar figure in police circles, but since her
reformation has lived a quiet and peaceful
life, was the defendant in the Police Court
this morning on the serious charge of .e-
ceiving stolen property. The case was con-
tinued until next Thursday. and Mrs. Shea
was released on $500 bonds.
The charge against Mrs. Shea grows out
of an arrest that was made yesterday by
Detective Lacy, who took young colored
nan into custody for HOUSEKEEPING. Sew
eraI weeks ago Springmann's storage ware
bouse was broken into, and a handsome
nsntei mirror and some electric fans were
stcien. The detective finally fixed the
charge on Eddy Wheeler. alias jung
Wheeler A further investigation showed
that the mirror had passed into the pos
session of Mrs. Shea, who bought it for
$50. although the police say it was evil
IDENTIFY worth a dozen times that amount.
1t was afterward recovered.
Wheeler pleaded guilty in the Police
Court this morning, and Judge kimball
held him for the action of the grand jury.
Then the detective swore out q warrant
against Mrs Shea, and as she was in the
building a witness against Wheeler it
was served on her without delay.
MIS-. Snea tOlQ star reporter that her
arrest was in the nature of an outrage.
According to her story. she bought the mir
ror in good faith, and without suspec ting
that it had been stolen. She said that a
couple of weeks ago Wheeler and another
oolored fellow brought the mirror to her
house and offered it to her for 81. They
explained to her that it had been given to
them by lady who was moving, and
found that the mirror, which she had had
built to fill a particular niche in her old
house, would be Of no use to her in her
new home. She didn't care to buy 1t, but
Wheeler was very anxious to sell, as he
was practically barefoot and wanted to
buy pair of shoes. She finally bought it.
and let it lie around her house for several
days, and then lent it to friend of hers
who was fitting up saloon.
When the case against her was called
Mrs. Shea entered a plea Of not guilty. She
asked for continuance, acting as her own
lawyer. Her request was granted, and
bonds were fixed in the sum of $500. She
asked If her husband would be accepted as
surety, and when the judge said he would
she took a seat in the court room and
waited until old John Shea could be sent
for. He arrived a few minutes later, and,
after they had gone through the formality
of signing the bond. she was released.

POSITION OF THE SYNDICATE.
Not Bound to Maintain the Treasury
Gold Reserve.

uolO heSeFve.
The following statement was authorized
by the bond syndicate in New York last
night: The impression has become general
that the members of the bond syndicate
entered into an agreement with the United
States treasury to maintain the 100000. 600
reserve until October 1 proximo and that
upon that date said obligation will cease
Such is not the case.
THE bond syndicate fulfilled all its obli-
cations to the government in June last, and
has not since been bound in any way to
the treasury. 1t is true that it has from
time to time since last June paid over va
rious sums in gold coin to the treasury,
which have sufficed to maintain the re-
Serve, but it has done so Voluntarily, and
will continue so to do in the same spirit
ard for the same motive.
so far as October is concerned it has
no relation to The action of the bond syndi-
cate, and it will continue to deposit gold
until November l, and December l. and
January l, if necessary, and if existing
conditions make it feasible to do so. But
neither the bond syndicate nor any one else
can control the elements. But the idea
that its relations to the treasury situate
will be any different on or after October
from what they are now and have been all
along is erroneous and should be cor
rected"
]. Pierpont Morgan, the head of the
bond syndicate, spoke reassuringly of the
outlook to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press He said: Tie bond syndi-
cate is still in the field. There has been
no rupture. The syndicate will continue
to do all that II can to help maintain the
treasury gold reserve at $1O0OO0. 900. The
obligation of the syndicate, expired, how
ever, some time ago."
Mr.. Morgan expressed surprise at the
slow movement of the cotton crop and the
Of hraa Il
stuffs. He said that undoubtedly the offer
ings Of these bills would be daily increased
in the next few weeks, and thus a safe
guard against exports.
