DON oAMERoN,S AMBITION.
By the Hid of Butler He Hopes to Rsn for
President.

President.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. BIT is
undoubtedly fact that Don Cameron as
pres to the Presidential nomination. 1t is
probable that ex-senator Butler of South
Carolina, boon companion of Mr.. Cameron,
as his father was the comrade and associ-
ate of Simon Cameron, would be accepted
as good authority as to the political
ambition of his friend. Senator Butler,
who has recently been here, said that Don
Cameron is not only candidate for the
Presidency. but that he seriously expects
TO receive the nomination. Cameron, Mr..
Butler says, is confident that he can COM
mand the electoral vote of Pennsylvania
on personal grounds, and with that for a
basis in the East he expects that he will
secure the support of some of the Western
and all of the silver States in the conven-
ton because of his free silver views.
The country is being flooded with docu-
ments on free silver under Senator Cam
eron's frank, and their appearance is
causing any amount of gossip. Mr.. Cam
eron keeps corps of efficient clerks in his
service, and it is noticed that they have
not all had their usual summer vacations.
The ruling of the Postoffice Department
that Congressman may sign his frank by
an authorized deputy or by fac smile
rubber stamp makes it possible for pub

STYLED WANTON MURDER.
Report of an Army Officer on
the Killing of Bannock
Indians.
More Elk Are Slaughtered In the
JacksonS Hole Country by
Whites Than Reds.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 13.-The
report of Indian Agent Teter of the Fort
Hall reservation upon the recent Bannock
trouble was received at the Indian Bureau
to-day. It confirms the heretofore pub
1ished accounts of the killing of the Ban
mock Indians.
In connection with the killing of these
Indians an interesting report has been re-
ceived by the Secretary of the Interior, for
warded from the War Department. 1t is
from Captain Van Arsdale of the Seventh
United States Cavalry, formerly acting
agent of the Fort Hall reservation. The
report says in part:
"Being short-rationed and far from self
supporting, the Bannocks hunt for sus-
tenance; by treaty they are granted this
privilege. 1t would seem that the killing
of these Indians under the circumstances
was nothing more or less than murder.
Further, L believe there is no wanton
slaughter of game by these Indians, while
1t is notorious fact that hundreds of the
animals are killed by white men for moth
ing more than heads and horns. There are
men in that country who make it bust
ness to pilot hunting parties from the East
and abroad, which not only slaughter elk
but capture and ship them out of the coun-
try. The killing of game by Indians in
terferes with this business. The Indians
can hardly be expected to submit to the
killing of their people, while engaged in an
| occupation which they think they have a
right to follow, more quietly than white
men, and failure by the Government to
| take proper action is liable to result in
serious loss of life and property"
The report is dated at Fort Logan, Colo,
and bears the Endorsement of Lieutenant
Colonel Henry E. Noyes of the Second
Cavalry, commanding the post, who con-
ours heartily in what Captain Van Ars-
dale has said. 1t is also Endorsed by Briga-
der General frank Wheaton, command
ing the Department of Colorado, who hopes
that Captain Van Arsdale's recommends
tons will be favorably considered.
The following telegram from General
Coppinger, dated Jacksons Hole, August
u, was received at army headquarters to-
day: 'fThe last two scouting parties under
Lieutenants Parker and Gardner are now
in. They found no fresh Indians. The
section has been well worked and all is
quiet here. l shall take two troops of cav
airy and work eastward through the White
River Mountains. Address Fort Washable.
1 leave Major Chaffe in command of all
troops in Jacksons Hole country"
General Coppinger evidently regards the
trouble as over, and will go home with a
portion of his troops.

Gorerncr Morrill, of Kansas Goes East
to Boom Himself.
TOPEKA, KANs., Aug. ia local paper
prints a sensational story to-day to the
effect that the real purpose of Governor
Morrill's trip East is to start boom for
himself for the Republican nomination for
VicePresident.
Though it is not generally known" the
paper says, Governor Morrill, is now at
the summer residence of Thomas B. Reed
i'll Northern New York, where he is visit
ing with the Maine statesman, who ex-
poets to be given first place on the National
ticket. There the New York politicians
will meet the Kansas Governor, and the
deal is to be made which shall unite the
West and East and make Thomas B. Reed
the Presidential nominee and Governor +.
N. Morrill, of Kansas the nominee for
Vice-President."
In conclusion the paper says: 1t has
always been known that the Governor has
been fast friend of the popular Maine
statesman and has highly favored his
nomination for President 1t is said that
Governor Morrill, issued Thomas B. Reed

President Byrne has anything to say the
Temple cup will leave this city only or
condition that the club finishing first de-
feats the New Yorks in the extra series.
Byrne said yesterday: "If the New York
club gives up the cup to be played for by
the clubs finishing first and second, it will
be committing very foolish action. 1t
should retain the cup until it is lost in the
same manner that it was won.''
Cannot the league compel the New York
club to give up the cup2"
Certainly not was the reply. "It's
the New York clubs personal property
and the league has no right to force the
club to return what rightfuIly belongs to
it,"
Suppose Mr.. Temple should decide that
the clubs finishing first and second should
play for the cup, what then would be the
result?' asked the reporter.
"Mr. Temple has no more to say in the
matter. The cup was presented to the
league without any conditions whatever
The league wouid have been better off had
it never accepted the cup. The gift has
created any amount of dissatisfaction.
Last season the players of the two COM
peting clubs wrangled over the division of
the receipts and now it has been revived
again."

PARLIAMENT OF ENGLAND.
Speaker Gully Hears the Royal Assent
to His Election.

Speaker GaIty Hears the Royal assent
to His Election.
LONDON, Eng, Aug. 13.-The House of
Lords assembled at noon to-day. Lord
Halsbury (the Lord Chancellor), Lords
Coventry, Limerick, Cross and Balfour
of Burleigh, the commission appointed
to read the royal proclamation opening
the session of Parliament, announced
that the Queen had approved the re-elec-
ton of William Court Gully. Speaker of
the House of Commons. Gully stood at
the bar of the House and heard the royal
assent given to his reelection. Many
members of the House of Lords affixed
their signatures to the roll of the new
Parliament.
When the House of Commons opened to-
day Speaker Gully announced that her
Majesty had approved of his reelection as
presiding officer of the House. He then pro-
ceeded on behalf of the House to make the
customary claim for ancient rights and
privileges, which are freedom of speech,
freedom from arrest and free access to
her Majesty. After this the members were
sworn in in patches of i've. The anti-Par-
nellite mem bers of the House will meet in
the afternoon for the purpose of electing a
seasonal committee to control the purpose
of the party. 1t is expected that the meet
ing will be stormy one, Justin Mccarthy,
leader OF the anti-Parnellites, intending to
move resolution of discipline.
The Evening Post tomorrow will an
nounce that it has been definitely arranged
to appoint ]. w. Lowther chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of the House
of Commons. This office is coupled with
that of the deputy speaker ship of the
House.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS At VAR.

Time at u Meeting.

st. Louis Educators Haze a Lively
Time at Meeting.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. ia protracted
meeting of the City School Directors was
held tonight that closed at midnight,
nearly ending in a riot. For some time
opposition to Superintendent Long has
been developing, and his resignation or re-
moval was publicly demanded.
Matters progressed without especial in
cident until motion was made to adj
journ, when substitute was offered that
superintendent Long be dismissed. Pan
demonium broke loose, and President
Beckman called in squad of police.
This aggravated matters, and for q time
a collision was imminent. Under the lead
of President Beckman and Director
Brady. charges of incompetency, old foggy-
ism and favoritism were made against the
superintendent. These were holly an
swered, and the true basis of the fight was
developed. Superintendent Long and his
followers were charged with being under A.
P. A. control. A vote was finally reached
and Superintendent Long was deposed by
q vote of IL to 8.

SUIT FOR ITS TERMINALS,
Action Against the Santa Fee
and Two Big Trust
Companies.
All the Trouble Grew Out Of Various
Railroad Facilities at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 13.-The Chicago
Elevated Terminal Railway Company, OF
which General r. E. Terrence is the presi-
dent. has begun suit in the United States
courts of Illinois, Kansas, Iowa and Mis-
souri, against the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad Company, the Union
Trust Company. the Mercantile Trust
Company, the receivers and Edward King
and others of the joint executive reorgani-
cation committee, which may be far
reaching in its effect upon the Atchison
system. The suit is in the form of an in
tervening petition in the case of the suit
for foreclosure brought by the Union Trust
Company, as trustee, against the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company
The petition was filed in the United
States court in Chicago. In it is alleged
that the scheme OF the reorganization COM
mittee to exchange stock in the proposed
new corporation for certain assessments on
each share is illegal, as the rights of the
creditors OF the company, and particularly
the terminal company, are ignored. The
terminal company claims that when it
purchased the terminal properties of the
Atchisoh in Chicago, large portion OF
the purchase money was paid over, which,
however, the attorneys for the Atchison
interests deny.
The terminal company furtner alleges
that, after it purchased the terminal prop
erty of the Atchison Company in Chicago
it leased to the Atchison tracks and other
terminal facilities within the city limits of
Chicago, at an annual rental of $3.50 900,
payable in monthly installments, and that
only very small portion of this rental
was ever paid, although the Atchison Com
pany, before and after the appointment of
the receivers, has acknowledged the
validity of the terminal lease by using the
tracks of the terminal company.
1t appears from the papers in the suit
that the Atchison line east of the Missouri
River embracing about 600 miles of the
est-paying part of the system, besides a
large amount of other property, is not en-
braced by the Atchison mortgages, and
| that as the Atchlson has large unsecured
indebtedness, including its guaranty of the
consolidated bonds of the st. Louis and
San Francisco Railway Company, the
Colorado Midland Railroad Company and
| certain bonds of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad Company, the holders of which
indie btedness will be entitled to pro rata
share out of the proceeds of the sale of the
properties not included In the Atchison
mortgages, it is quite likely, say the enc
mics of the Atchison, that the cash pro-
vided by the reorganization plan will be
found wholly insufficient to enable the re-
organization committee to hold the sys-
tenn together and prevent its being split
into fragments.

CONFERENCE OF LEADERS

Assem- bling at the
Capital.
ALL FOR UNLIMITED COINAGE
Gathering of the Bourbons Who OPP
pose the Goldbug Mugwumpery
at the White House.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 13.-Repre-
sentatives from almost every State will be
present at the free-silver conference to be
held here tomorrow, This conference is
the outcome of the Memphis convention,
at which time the Democratic representa-
tiyes from all States were instructed to
send delegates to general conference IN
Washington. These delegates come as
representatives to the 16 to l movement,
and are confident of success and will admit
of no compromise.
The following delegates had arrived at a
late hour tonight: Senators Harris of Ten
nessee, Jones of Arkansas and Turpie OF
Indiana, who issued the call for the con-
vention; Hon. n. n. Cox, Tennessee; Hon.
James A. Lockhart, Wadesboro, n. c.; V.
M. Rubey, Macon, Ca; Hon. Robert Neill,
BatesvilIe, Ark; w. Hill, W. G. Murphy
and George w. Allen, st. Louis; Joseph
F. Johnson, Samuel Willjohn, John w.
Tomlinson, H. w. Wilson, Birmingham,
Ala; Joseph Hodgson, Mobile; Senator j.
W. Daniel, Lynchburg, Va; W. II. Hin
richsen, Springfield ILL.,, and ten others
from that State.
1t is probable that Senator Harris will
preside over the meeting and Casey Young
of Memphis, who is chairman of the exec
utive committee, will have much to say in
the proceedings. The object of the con-
ference is to form an organization within
the Democratic party favorable to free sill
yer, and every effort will be made to secure
harmony in the ranks.
Senator Harris is authority for the state
y,au National capo ynitfao Wi II
be formed composed of Democrats of prom
inence, one drawn from each State, the OBJ
iect being to secure control of the next
National Democratic convention.
Mr.. Hinrichsen said tonight: 1.-THE free
silver men will nominate and elect the
next President. Naturally we in the West
turn to William r. Morrison as the one
available candidate who represents ster-
ling Democracy as in opposition to the gold
bug mugwumpery of the White House.
While Mr.. Morrison has thus far remained
non-committal on the silver question, yet
we are assured by him that he has the in
terests of his party at heart. His party
will point to him in unmistakable terms
the necessity for free silver End urge upon
him the leadership. AS the silver move
ment originated in the West, also must
the party come from the West"
Senator Daniel was one of the late ar
rivals tonight. He said he expected about
200 delegates to be present. He had not
come here to offer resolutions, and did not
know the nature of the ones that would be
introduced by the leaders of the move
ment. 1t was his opinion, however, that
good would come of the affair and that the
country at large would applaud the action
