The old man spoke with such de
liberate emphasis and conviction, his
story was So plausible that SaOauer
could suffer it no longer.
"COriuue.' cried he. rising from his
seat and sUppreSsing the many emo

"Oh, said he. now YOU spake TO me

Supper at the Chateau Saint Mande

The young man drew back with an
impatient gesture.
"Corinne, - he cried, lis it an hour for

"I do not jest with YOU. Eugene"
she answered very teuderly, did not l
tell YOU that fortune and a future
awaited you tonight? it is for YOU TO
say whether YOU Will take JheSssitt or
refuse IT,
She spoke very simply. though deep
feeling gave o Quaver to her voice.
AS for Sabatier, he began to tell him
self that he had lost his wits; and he
walked mp and down the room like
man distracted.
"Ciel,' cried he. stopping suddenly
at last, what mystery is this? You
say that my brother Will poison me,

I beseech YOU, be plain WIN me-oh,

He turned from one to he other Sp-

Indians Object to the Work.

Pierre: S. D., June 7.-State Vet
erinarian Elliott is in the Cheyenne
river country making an attempt to
stamp out CHAMBERS, which is report
ed to be prevalent in that section.
He killed several horses in that Sec
tion about a year ago and the In
dians were very much opposed to
his work, as they consider 1t their
business whether they keep diseased
horses or not.
Last year it was hard for the vet
erinarian to secure and keep help
for his work on account of the fear
Of what the Indians might do to get
even with those assisting him, but
this year he is assisted by a strong
detail of Indian police and will make
determined effort to stamp out the
disease. But even many of the In
dians will run off their horses which
are supposed to be affected and it
will be hard to find them.

THE NEW SUGAR SCANDAL.
Editorial Opinion Of LeEislatiOA for
Trusts.

Is the country to be afflicted with a
second sugar scandal? Are the "sen-
ators from Havemeyer" ex-officio men,
bers of the finance committee. and are
they to be permitted to dictate the inn
portant sugar schedule? - Chicago
Evening Post Qnd. Rep).
The senate committees bill, wheth-
er designed to do so or not. will give
the trust a great advantage should it
become a law. For that reason the
country is bitterly opposed to the SEN
ate sugar schedule, and if the senate
will heed the voice of the people that
schedule will not be embraced in the
new tariff. indianapolis Journal
(Rep.).
The storm over the sugar schedule is
steadily increasing. All the examina-
tions which have been made since its
report, instead of clearing it up, only
make it look the blacker. 1t has appar-
emily been made of very complicated
character to battle analysis and to dis
guise a job, but, intricate as it is, it
does not conceal the fact that it en-
braces a very large differential for the
benefit of the trust. This conviction is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with it.-Philadelphia Press (Rep.).
The specific charge by a responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three MEM
bers of the senate speculated in the Sc
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill
had been framed. and profited $4,000
by the transaction, is altogether too
serious to be treated by the senate
with contempt or indifference.
The peculiar influence which tho
magnates of the sugar trust have ex-
erted in the framing of the new sugar
schedule has already created suspicious
as to the integrity of the trainers Of tho
bill. If the charge against the alleged
speculatos shall not be investigated,
it will serve to strengthen. If not con-
firm. this suspicion,-Philadelphis Bull

1t was the cause of the late war, in

MILES CITY, Mont, June Ii
Sheriff Gibbs reached this city this
evening having in custody yellow Hair
and Sam Grow, the two Cheyenne
Indians implicated in the Hoover mur-
der Agent Stouch called the Indians
all in and the arrests were made by the
sheriff, no resistance being offered.
Chief White Bull is still at liberty, but
can be arrested at any time. The
sheriff did not think it advisable to ar
rest him until matters had subsided a
little. Indian Agent Stouch, who sent
a dispatch to the department at Wash
ington informing them that he feared
to make the arrests because Of the
consequences that might follow, re-
ceived the following reply: Make the
arrests and meet the consequences. "
This decided action of the war de-
partment settled all the troubles be-
tween the Indians, white men and
military authorities. AS soon as the
Indians learned that orders had been
received from Washington to arrest
them they realized that it was useless
to put up fight and no further Indian
trouble is now anticipated.

Nelson Bill Does Not Suit.
Credit Men OF the Country Against 1t.

KANSAS CITY, June 1.-THE last
day of the annual convention of the
National Credit Mems association was
largely devoted to the reading of pa
rers. J. G. Cannon, of New York, and
H T. Gillian, Of New Orleans, the
newly elected president and vice pres
ident, respectively, were the recipients
of many congratulations. J. A. L. Tor
rey, author Of the Torrey bankruptcy
bill, who was to have addressed the
gathering yesterday, did not arrive till
this morning. Judge Torrey's appear
ance was the signal for applause, and
all through the delivery of his address
the entire convention seemed to ap-
prove his utterances.
At the close Of his remarks, John
Field, of Philadelphia, in a powerful
speech attacked all bankruptcy laws.
The tide turned for a moment and the
convention cheered Mr. Field to the
echo. THE average man is honest, -
he said, "and no law ever framed by
any state or nation will make an honest
man out of q natUral-born thief" He
said he did not want to see the abol-
ishment Of preferences. IF you enact
bankruptcy law you will have more
failures during the six months follow
ing that enactment than you would
have in years without such a law"
Mr. Fields address was followed
by spirited discussion of the avail
ability OF bankruptcy law. The COM
nittee on resolutions then presented its
report on The Torrey and Nelson bills
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-06-12

The report urgently requested congress
not to adopt the Nelson bill and to
enact the Torrey bill without delay A
substitute for the resolution was offer
ed by f. w. Yale of st. Joseph. to the
erect that all laws and regulation
governing commercial and financial
transactions should be enacted by
state legislation alone, without the in
terference of congress either by bank
ruptcy laws or otherwise
A stormy session followed the offer
ing Of this substitute, as to whether
1t should be tabled or not With 1t
came tilt at parliamentary law as
to whether or not the chairmen of
the various delegations should be al
lowed to cast the full vote of their
delegation whether or not the mem
bers of the delegation were present.
A vote by roll call followed, in which
the delegates from Pennsylvania refus-
ed to vote. The vote resulted in Mr..
Yale's substitute being laid on the
table. Fiery speeches were then made
for and against the adoption of the
original resolution. The action of
the Pennsylvania delegation was de-
nounced by Mr.. Prendergast. of New
York, who referred to those not in
favor of the enactment of bankruptcy
law as Commercial pirates The
original resolution indorsing the Tor
rey bill, was finally accepted

council showed their concern in their
faces. The proceedings of the council
were at standstill for fully fifteen
minutes, while men left their seats
and gathered together to whisper to
each other
Finally, Bishop FalIows called for
an immediate meeting of the general
committee Of the church and an ad-
journment of the session. A member
OF the council moved that the secretary

withdrawal of the trust funds on the

should refuse to receive any such no.
