INDIAN TROUBLE NOT ENDED.
Fifty Families of Refugees i'm Miles
City-Two Hundred Bucks on
the Reservation.

Miles City, Mont, June 6.-The rumor sent
abroad that settlers were returning with
their families to their homes is not true.
About fifty families of refugees from the
Indians are still in this city. and others
are coming in daily. As many as seven
and eight families are huddled together in
one cottage. with no thought of returning
to their homes while the Indians are off
the reservation. A school teacher who
had been teaching school on Otter creek,
near the reservation, and about sixty
miles from here. arrived last evening, hav
ing ridden the entire distance on a bicycle
in one day. She reports seeing several
small bands of Indians prowling along the
hills on foot.
over 200 Indians are off the reservation
scattered in small bands, roaming the
country and committing depredatiOns and
devouring everything in their line of
march. There are said to be 800 Indians
on the reservation. The dance houses
donated the Indians some time ago by
Captain Stouch and others will be torn
down and the large drum taken away from
them, and all bad medicine made here
after will have to be made in open air.
Sheriff Glib and Stock Inspector Smith
leave tomorrow for the scene of the trouble
with warrants properly executed for the
arrest of White Bull yellow Hair and Sam
Crow.
Sheriff Gibbs says he is confident that
Captain Stouch. the agent, will cooperate
with him in the arrest of the men.
The following message was sent to Sem
ator Carter tonight by County Attorney
T. ]. Porter:
agent Stouch yesterday turned over
Stanley but he has not received any evil
dence against him and seems determined
to keep sheriff from making any investl-
cation. Five other Indians are suspected,
and vigorous efforts to secure evidence
should be put forth. StOuch absolutely
refuses to cooperate with sheriff in Sc
curing evidence, and is delaying and
thwarting sheriff in every possible manner
Thursday he again ordered the sheriff's
DEPUTIES off the reservation. Indians claim
to the sheriff that Stouch agreed to accept
surrender of Stanley in full satisfaction
of murder. Stouch IS certainly inefficient.
! therefore urgently request that he be i'm
mediately instructed TO cooperate with the
sheriff in securing evidence against all
these murderers and urge that he be re-
placed by some competent man."

A FIERY FACED SPooK.
It Haunts n Rural Graveyard and
Emits n Strange Blush
Glow,

A ghost has made its appearance in the
old Sharpe burying ground on Albany ave-
nue. says the Kingston Freeman. At least
that is what a numoer Of boys who hold
forth there claim. This especial ghost is
clad in long flowing white drapery and
has face like flaming bali Of fire. The
boys are so afraid of this supernatural
visitant, or whatever 1t may be, that they
cannot be coaxed to enter the cemetery
any more after dark. The story Of one
were playing slip in the graveyard when
we saw something awful coming toward US
1t was all dressed in white and moved its
aims in all kinds of shapes. At first we
thought It was somebody trying to scare
US, but when IL ran right for us we saw
its face. Oh. 1t looked awful. II was blood
red. and its eyes seemed to shoot fire. IL
didn't seem to walk; IL seemed to ny
through the air. AS il came toward US
it held up one hand and beckoned to US to
come to II. Charlie, one OF the boys who
was along with US, picked up a stone and
threw it at the ghost.
THE stone went right through the awful
looking thing. but IL never stopped; IL
would come near us. then go of little
ways and laugh in a horrible manner. by
and by it scared us so we all ran away.
The ghost, according to the stories told.
makes its appearance about o'clock every
evening and meanders to ard fro IN the
cemetery and often blush kind OF hght
Is emitted from this mass of moving white
ness which seems to blaze up brightly and
then grow faint. according as the specter
moves fast or slow. The boys, AT least TWO
or three of them, think that the ghost is
some lost soul trying 10 gain It's liberty.
This ghost Is the second one that mas been
seen in the old burial place. Several years
ago the grown-up people who lived near
the cemetery claimed that ghost Inhabited
the old metropolis. and several families
moved away to a more congenial place
where the departed spirits Of the dead
come not.
Whether a ghost has really been seen
there or not, one thing is certain. and that
is that the boys who used to play near
the graveyard have gone to haunts new.

1T WILL NOT BE FORCED INTO THE
STATE CAMPAIGNS.
BUT MUST NOT BE REPUDIATED
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED BY A Ma
TIONAL COMMITTEEMAN.
Highly Important That Democrats

Albany. N Y, June 6.-''The Democratic
perty will not force national issues IN
the various state campaigns, and, While
reputation of the Chicago platform Will
not be allowed, it will not be brought for
ward as an issue paramount to anything
else" That is the statement of National
Committeeman Frank Campbell, oil Bath
Campbell was in the city tonight fresn
from a conference with party leader, and
said:
''The policy of the Democratic party of
the nation, as laid down in the platform
of the Chicago convention in 1876, cannoI
be disturbed until the next Democratic
national convention which Will be held IN
1900. 1t will make no difference whether
state, city or county conventions lnuoTse
il or reDudiate il: it will stand unaltered.
In the election last fall the regular organ
ization of the state of New York was

land four years ago as the Democrauc
candidate for president, although three del
egates were opposed to him in the national

of the city of New York, Buffalo or
Rochester deem II eXpedient and wise Tor
party success to conduct their local elec-
tions without injecting into them state or
national issues, l believe they have per.
feet right TO do so, without interference or
any state or national committee.
Democrats living in the state, outside
of the city of New York, are looking anX-
iously for the election of a Democratc
mayor In Greater New York. II this could
be accomplished it would encourage the
rank and file of the party and enable the
organization to get into fighting shape for
the important state election that is TO take
place a year from this fall, when governor,
state officers and legislature are TO De
elected.
''If we carry Greater New York and elect
these officers this year then the party Will
be in good shape, with fair chance of
placing New York state in the Democratic
column in 1900.
"As the representative of the regular or
ganization of New York on the national
committee, / can state that, SO far as
know, the national committee has no de-
sire to interfere with New York state in its
local elections this fall, or to dictate to the
Democracy of New York what its issues
shall be in these elections"

PHONE WAR COMING.
The He'll Company Is Planning an Ag-
gressiye Fight Against Ri
xoI Conaarna

New York June 6-Whether a citizen of
the United States may maintain. operate
or use any telephone without first having
made arrangements with the American
Bell Telephone Company is the new phase
of an old question that the telephone
monopoly is about to bring before the
courts A quarter of million users of in
dependent telephones are concerned in its
solution. as possible defendants, in as
many lawsuits.
The fiercest of all the telephone wars
will be precipitated by these suits. They
will be brought against subscribers and
not against the independent companies OPP
Grating in opposition to the American Bell
Company. That such suits have been con-
templated is known TO many of the inde-
pendent companies, and since they threaten
the existence of every one Of them, an eX-
traordinary defensive movement has been
begun. Conventions are being held, funds
subscribed and plans laid to defeat the
monopoly wherever these suits are brought
before the courts. The filing of papers in
these suits is deferred on account of the
two suits for infringement of the Berliner
patents, now pending against the National
Telephone Company and the Century Tele-
phone Company, both of Boston.
+. p. Fish, counsel for the American Bell
Telephone Company, said to-day that these
SUMS would be pressed. so that a decision
might be had at the earliest possible date.
Tho Independent companies. however, eX-
pect that. the proposed suits against indi-
Bell telephones will be commenced soon
without regard to any other litigation over
the Berliner patents. Neither Mr.. Fish nor
any officer of the American Bell Telephone
Company will talk about the proposed liti-
cation more than to say that since the su-
preTne court has upheld the Berliner pat
ents the American Bell Company will pros
eCute all infringements of them.
At conventions which have been held in
several cities. Chicago among them, action
has been taken which is construed to fore
shadow the incorporation of a general tele-
phone company to compete with the Ameri-
can Bell Company. The most important Of
the developments in the anti-Bell move
ment is in Boston, where the headquarters
of the new company is likely to be. Acting
for large number of. the Independent eX-
chenges, MeSsrs. Whitman and Couch is
sued on May % a circular letter calling for
a meeting to be held soon in Boston TO or
ganize against the Bell monopoly. Con-
cerning this call. Mr. Whitman said:
The Boston meeting is expected to out
line plans for protection against the Bell
company IL it proposes to sue the independ-
ent telephone people and to provide long
distance connections between the independ-
cnt exchanges. The combine will include
both the exchanges and the makers of tele-
phones interested I'm them. If it should
turn out that the American Bell Telephone
Company does not sue as reported. the
new combination, in my opinion. is likely
to force the fight on its own account The
great fight will be over the Berliner pat
ent"

Morning.

San Quentin, Cal, June 6.-The trouble
with the convicts employed in the jute mill
at this prison is about over, and no further
disturbance is looked for. Work will be
started up tomorrow morning in that por-

criminals still confined on a diet of bread
and water. and il is expected that of these
all but the ringleaders of the so-called
strike will soon be at work again. The
ringleaders and those who took part in
the attempt to break from the dungeon will
be brought up before the board of directors,
and their cases considered for punishment.
Extra guards will be stationed In the mill
TO prevent any further trouble, and to see
that the more peaceably inclined. who wish
TO return to work, are not intimidated by
their more hardened and vicious fellow
prisoners.
