Washington, Dec 23.-There is con-
siderable trouble brewing in Republic
an congressional circles here in Wash
ington. Secretary Gage has declared
for the single gold standard and he
continues to reiterate the declaration.
Mr.. Mckinley is saying nothing. A
prominent senator told me today that
the president was greatly troubled over
the situation. The eastern goldbugS
are demanding their pound of flesh
and the general opinion down here is
that the administration will be in line
with the Gage plan. Western Repub-
licans are given to understand that
there is but one Republican party and
that those who are not for the admin
iStration without reservation are
against it.
There is to be nothing of Importance
done until Hanna is elected senator
from Ohio, and then it is confidently
asserted that the administration will
abandon silver.
1 am told by a man who is familiar
with the inner workings that the Re-
publican leaders who are in sympathy
with the Gage plan are urging the
president to cut loose. They admit that
the next house will be Democratic as a
result, but they say the sentiment of
the country will change by the time
the next presidential election rolls
around

Columbus, O., Dec 24-The state
journal this morning prints a story that
the Republicans. led by Hon. Charles
Burtz. in opposition to the reelection
of Senator Hanna, have promised TO
support free silver as the price of the
defeat Of Senator Hanna. The story,
the Journal states, comes from a man
who claims that Mr.. Hanna will be de-
feated. The Journal says:
conferences are being held in vari-
Gus parts of the state by Democrats
who have gathered at the direction of
Mclean and the free silver leaders to
plan for bringing pressure to bear upon
Democratic members of the legislature
to vote for Governor Business and the
argument which is used in these con-
ferences to convince the doubling and
bring conviction to hesitating is that

INDIAN CAMPAIGN.
scathing Criticism of Incompetency
of British Officers.

Allahabad, Dec. 23.-The Pioneer pub
fishes a scathing criticism of the re-
cent fighting on the Indian frontier and
says the operations have ruined more
than one reputation. The Pioneer as
serts that the officers have disappoint-
ed expectations and calls upon the
commander in chief to weed out those
who have signally failed to prove their
fitness to command or perform staff
duties. The paper asserts that the in
stances when the troops were we'll
handled have been few, while serious
blunders were numerous and happy
go-lucky arrangements were the rule,
resulting in a few hundred British
troops and Sepoys forming the rear
guard having again and again TO fight
desperately to save their skins, while
within two or three miles thousands of
their comrades were doing absolutely
nothing"
The Pioneer says further:
THE whole campaign. shows careless
ness and Indifference for the safety Of
the rear guard and bad disposition of
the fighting strength. While the for
titled enclosures and homesteads of the
Afridis have been destroyed, the
latter have had their revenge in the
actual conflicts"

PAPACY AND ITALY.
The Pontif Deplored the Conflict Be
tween Them.

tween Ihem.
Z Rome, Dec, 23.-The reception at the
vatican today was largely attended by
Catholic dignitaries Replying to the
greetings. the pope deplored the con-
f1ict between the state and holy see,
which impartial minds desired to end.
The majority of Italians, his holiness
continued, were against it, and it was
wrong to fight the Will of the people,
who understood that political unity did
not suffice to give them prosperity.
Therefore, they desired the independ-
ence of the papacy and the restoration
of its rights. Peaceful citizens should
not be confounded with the subversive
factions whose aim was to set the
cause of Italy and the rights of the
papacy in conflict. 1t has never been
unworthy and the state should make
just reparation.
The pope, who was in excellent
health and splendid voice, blessed all
present, including % cardinals. After
wards, every guest passed the throne
of the pope and his holiness said a few
words to each Of them.

UINTAH ASPHALT LANDS.
Effect of the Company Bringing the
Matter Into Court.


Washington, D. c., Dec. 23.-The sec
rotary of the interior today refused to
discuss the suit brought by the Ameri
can Asphalt company to restrain him
from disappearing the company's lease
of 5000 acres of asphalt lands within
the borders OF the Cintah Indian res
ervation in Utah. He said that a re-
Ply would be made at the proper time,
and nothing would be done until then
looking to decision on the question
whether or not the Dlats filed by the
company shall be accepted.
Indian Commissioner Jones, who is
CO. defendant with the secretary, said
that he had not seen the secretary since
the papers were served upon him, and
did not know much about the case. All
the action taken by his office was be-
fore his time and he is prepared to let
the representative of the government
do all the talking and fighting for him.
Van Devanter, assistant attorney
general for the interior department,
who viii appear for the government in
the case on Jan. 8, when the temporary
writ of injunction is returnable, when
asked about the case, said:
The action of the Asphalt company
in taking this matter into the courts
will have the effect of delaying a de-
cision as to whether or not the depart
ment shall approve the lease and ac-
cept the plats filed by the company's
agent after the date set for their re-
ception by the Indian office This ques-
ton was argued before me last week,
and the opinion is now being prepared.
1 will order that nothing further be
done until the company either dismisses
or makes the injunction permanent.
There is 2 question that will be of
interest to be decided at that time 1t
is the question whether the court will
decide the case in the absence of final
action by the department or not. In
some cases it is required that the de-
partment shall have acted before a case
can be taken into the courts, and in
others this is not required. Just what
the court before which this proceeding
has been brought will decide, 1 am I'M
