MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review

New York. Aug. 1S.-The day was by
no means an important one at the
Stock Exchange and the transactions
aggregated a very small total. This
was not little surprising in view of
the sharp break in foreign exchange
which should have a tendency to ease
up the monetary situation. Posted
rates for Sterling were reduced a full
cent. to 4S5A and 4S7, the lowest figure
for some time and actual business was
at moderate concessions from the quo
tations noted. This started some talk
about early importations OF gold, but
bankers do not share I'm this opinion.
Money lent IN to five per cent. on call
but later eased off. Funds on time
continue scarce and commercial paper
Is difficult of sale. At the start quo
tations were fractionally lower In SYM
pathy with London and the receipt of
selling orders from that centre but the
bulls soon took hold. using Sugar as a
lever to advance the remainder of the
list. Sugar sold as high as 1864, an
advance of about IL points within
week. Other leading stocks improved
AQ1A per cent. Subsequently there
was a general decline of 4 to "a per
cent. under sales for both accounts,
Sugar, Louisville and Nashville leading
the downward movement. Just pre-
vious to the close there was a rally Of
4 to 1s from the lowest. Speculation
left off steadier in tone. Net changes
show declines Of u to IA per cent.
Sugar and Louisville and Nashville
scoring the greatest losses. Total sales
were only 156,765 shares.

An Oregon Woman to Claim a Share OF

An Oregon Woman to Claim a Share Of
the DotOney Estate.
PORTLAND, Or. pril 10.-Mrs. Amen-
da Guerro, claiming to be a niece OF the
late Mrs. Governor Downey, who for the
past five years has been seamstress in
Southern Oregon. passed through here for
Los Angeles Tuesday to litigate for the
estate left her by her aunt.
Mrs. Guerro told an old California friend
here that the money was withheld from her
because of her change of religion. Mrs.
Downey was most devout Catholic, who
never in many years neglected to attend
early morning mass, rain or shine. It is
alleged that in her will she stipulated that
in the event of any one of her devisees
abandoning the Catholic faith before the
distribution of her estate after her death
such renegade from the church should be
disinherited.
The name the woman now bears was
that OF her first husband, who died about
eight years ago. A year thereafter she
welded Protestant clerk in Los Angeles
Bank, the ceremony being performed In all
Episcopal church. Mrs. Guerro says after
that her relatives refused to recognize her,
and month later she and her husband
left Los Angeles for Seattle. About year
ago, this woman says, she became con-
science stricken, returning to the religious
faith of her ancestors. Later she also re-
solved TO make demand for her aunt's
bequest to her, which has steadily and per.
slstently been refused her.

IN INDIAN REFORMER.
Young Chief Of the Cayuses Declares
Var on Whisky.

YoNn0 Chief Of the Cayuses Declares
Far on Whisky.
PENDLETON, Or, April 10.-Young
Chief, the head of the Cayuse tribe of In
dians on the Umatille Reservation, has of
late been conducting literary bureau.
Especially since the laws have been inter-
preted in such a manner as to give his
people freedom to purchase and drink
whisky the chief has been prolific of COM
munications to the East Oregonian, in
which he has urged that some action be
taken to cure the Indians of their habit.
Young Chief has now risen to the dignity
OF reformer and has proposed another
plan for the correction OF the evil tenden-
cies of his dusky warriors.
The plan may not be novel so far as con-
Germs reservations further east where the
Indians have adopted all the modes of civ
ilized life, but out here, where the red
blankets and 20 about with their long
flowing locks, the idea is new indeed,
Young Chiefs plan is set forth in his
letter, which reads:
AT HOME, April 6, 1895.
By Young Chief to my Dear Friends: regret
are causing SO much trouble and pain to those
who are friends to us all. l, for one, am almost
discouraged to hear of so many being put in
Jail, all owing to the liberty of getting whisky,
which is ruin to us all. Iregret it very much,
as look upon you all as my children. l hope,
my dear friends, that you, Kash Kash, Peo and
others will meet together and hold meetings to
instruct our people to quit drinking liquor {;
advise them to go to church, send their chill
dren t o school and teach them to work make
gardens, raise potatoes and other vegetables,

TRAGEDY IN RENO'S JAIL,
Murderer Vaughn Attempts to
Cheat the Law by Taking
His Life.
Swallows Poison After Having Been
Convicted of Killing the Lister
Boys.

RENO, New, April 1O.-The jury in the
case of the State against Alfred Vaughn,
charged with numbering two boys named
Lister in Lander County in 1898, after
being out twelve hours, brought in a
verdict this morning of murder in the first
degree. Similar verdicts have twice before
been rendered in the case. Each time the
Supreme Court granted a rehearing. The
prisoner appeared unmoved when the
verdict was announced, and, with the an
nouncement from Judge Cheney that at
o'clock the time of sentence would be pro-
nounced, he was removed to an iron cell
in the county jail.
A few minutes after noon Under Sheriff
Caughlin went to Vaughn's cell and
noticed the latter acted strangely, but
thought his actions were simply the result
of the subdued excitement under which
the prisoner was laboring and endeavored
to cheer him with encouraging words.
Going to the cell later Vaughn was found
in collapsed condition on the floor. 1t
was then evident that the prisoner had
swallowed poison with suicidal iutent.
Three physicians were mmoned. who
labored all the afternoon in an endeavor
to bring the man out of his stupor. He
seemed to waver between life and death
without apparent change up to O'Clock
this evening, when the physicians gave out
the report that his condition was more
favorable and the chances for recovery
good.
1t is not definitely known how Vaughn
secured the drug, but the belief is general
that it was given him by some of his rela-
tives, who have constantly been in at
tendance at court during the trial. Some
believe the vial was hidden In bouquet of
flowers given the prisoner by his mother.

Japan.
Yamagata, field marshal of Japan, and
his staff spent yesterday in Omaha, the
special guests of Department Commander
General Coppinger. After attending to
urgent diplomatic duties his Excellency
granted an interview to representative
OF The United Press, who, with Private
Secretary Terusaki acting as interpreter,
conyersed with him on matters of general
interest and in particular the latest cable
dispatches from Japan relating TO army
changes.
Marquis Yamagata said that the In
crease OF the regiments in Japan from
twenty-eight to ifty-two was something
doing this had no significance of approach
ing difficulties. The Marshal expressed
himself as highly pleased with his recep-
ton in this country and said that the most
kindly relations existed between the
United States and Japan. 1t was the wish
OF Japan to continue on friendly terms
with all countries on the face of the globe.
Japan" he said, sis at peace with all
the great European countries. There is no
intention of either Japan or Russia oc-
cupying Korea. 1t is the intention of both
countries that Korea shall be an independ-
ent country. The occupation Of a portion
OF Korea by either country does not mean
that there is the slightest danger of con-
fict between them."
On the financial system In Japan and its
adaptation to the needs of the country, he
had very positive views. He declared that
Japan had no wish for gold standard, as
the Oriental nations, with which it had
large commercial interests, used the white
metal

TRACED By THE SMOKE.
Discovery Of q Murder and Suicide In
Tenement.

Discovery Of Murder and Suicide In a
Teneni ert.
SALEM, MASS, April 1O.-The smell of
smoke yesterday morning in house at 122
Boston street led to the discovery of a
double tragedy. The house was occupied
by seven tenements. The people in the
upper part of the house smelled smoke
and tried to trace the smoke to its origin.
They found that it came from the room
occupied by Miss Josephine Manning, q
dressmaker.
The door was fastened, and as there
was no response to knocks entrance was
forced. The room was full of smoke,
which came from q smoldering fire in the
bed.
Miss Manning lay in the bed dead, with
her head covered with blood from bullet
body OF man was stretched. He was not
quite dead, but died before doctor could
be summoned. He, too, had been shot.
The affair was evidently a murder and
suicide. The man was recognized as
James E. Flynn, who has for some time
been keeping company with Miss Man
ming. He was widower, IS years old,
the woman and then committed suicide.
The cause OF the tragedy is unknown,
and it is not known when Flynn went to
the house. When found he was fully
dressed in his working clothes. The
family living upstairs reported that they
heard three reports about an hour before
the tragedy was discovered, but they did
not recognize them as pistol shots and
paid no attention to them. The woman
had two bullet wounds in her head, and
the third shot had fatally wounded Flynn.
The bed had evidently been set on fire by
the pistol.
