PREPARING TO RETURN.
Indians Will Go Out Again After
Game.

DENVER, Gel. August 13.-A special to
the News from Pocatello. Idaho, says:
Information comes today from the agency
at Ross Fork, twelve miles north Of Po-
catello, that the Indians are preparing to re-
turn to the Jackson's Hole hunting grounds
as soon as their hay harvest is over and
supply themselves with meat for winters
use, claiming that the government rations
are insufficient. They will resist all efforts
by the settlers to prevent them from hunt
ing. 1t is believed they will be Joined by
the Shoshone, Utes and Lempis. 1t is
known that the Indians are eagerly await
ing for the troops to depart, and expect
from past experience to be able by united
movement to kill plenty of game and re-
turn to their homes before the soldiers
could again reach Jackscn's Hole.
Agent Teter thinks that instead of let
ting the contract to private parties for the
large Fort Hall canal. which is to be built,
the Indians should have been put on this
work There would have been no troubles,
and it is not too late TO give it to them
now,

Another Bond Issue Unlikely,

BALTIMORE. Nd, August 15-Gen. Alex
ander Brown, who formed the subsyndicate
in Baltimore to cooperate with the Nor
gan-Beimont syndicate in furnishing the
gold for the last issue of bonds. comment
ing on the gold export says: There is not
the slightest cause for alarm The syndi-
cate has the situation we'll in hand, and
will keep the treasury gold reserve intact.
Commercial bills are beginning to appear
in the market, and they will furnish abund-
ant exchange and will effectively check the
outflow Of gold. AS regards the talk of
another bond issue, 1 do not think there is
the slightest foundation for it. The rates
for exchange are already beginning to
weaken. and 1 firmly believe that the ship
n.ents of gold are nearing an end"

The speech was as follows:
My Lords and Gentlemen: The COM
municatlonS which l receive from foreign
powers assure me of the continuance of
their good will. I am happy to say that no
international complication has arisen in
any quarter calculated to endanger the
peace OF Europe. The war between China
and Japan, which was in progress at the
opening Of the last session, has been
brought to conclusion by a peace which /
trust Will endure. l observed strict neu-
tralty during the war and have taken no
action in respect thereto except such as
appeared to me likely to be favorable to I,
termination of hostilities.
Il deeply regret to say that the most
3tiociouS outTdSeS upon a BODY oil English
missionaries are reported from the province
of Fu-kien, in China. In reply to earnest
representations addressed to the Chinese
government by my direction, active meas
ures, which trust will prove effective are
being taken for the punishment of the
murderers and all persons in any degree
responsible for these crimes
The inter- al troubles which have brok-
en- out in the Armenian districts of Asiatic
Turkey have been attended with horrors
which have moved to indignation the Chris
tan nations of Europe generally and my
people especially.
My ambassador and the anba ssadors Of
the Emperor of Russia and the president of
the French republic. acting together, have
suggested to the government of the sultan
reforms which, in their opinion, are neces-
sary to prevent a recurrence of constant
disorder. These proposals are now being
considered by the sultan, and l am anxious
ly awaiting his decision"
The speech concludes with a reference
Colony.
The speech to the commons merely says
that the estimates for the service of the
year, whiNh We're not voted at the last SeS-
sion, will be laid before them.
The second portion of the speech says:
MY Lords and Gentlemen: At this sea-
son OF the year 1t will probably be found
more convenient to defer to another session
the consideration Of any important legisla-
tive measures except those which are
necessary to provide for the administrative
charges of the year."

Cruiser Detroit VIII Get as Near as POSI-
BILE to Disturbed District.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The navy de-
partment has received a cablegram an
nouncing that Commander Newell had
sailed from Shanghai with the Detroit for
Foo-Chow. Foo-Chow is about 400 miles
south Of Shanghai and is the nearest sea-
port TO the scene Of the rioting at hwa-
sang and Inghok. Hwasang is about l7o
miles from Foo Chow and Inghok about
90 miles.
The dispatching OF the Detroit to Foo
Chow was construed at the state and navy
departments to mean that both Minister
DENLY and Admiral Carpenter, who, with
tho flagship Baltimore, is at Nagasiki,
about 400 miles from Shanghai, across the
Yellow sea, are fully alive to the situation,
and propose to have an American cruiser
as close possible to the scene.
Notwithstanding this evidence OF the ac-
tivity of Minister DENLY and Admiral
Carpenter, Acting Secretary McAdoo i'm
mediately cabled Admiral Carpenter, APP
prising him of the apprehension here In re-
gard to the safety of the lives and prop
erty Of American citizens in China, and
instructing him to use every possible effort
for their protection. He also asked the
admiral to cable him the real situation,
and the prospect of further disturbances
involving American interests.
