Nevada Indian Starts Out on a Career
| of BIOodshed.
| ELDoBADo CANYON, New, May 14.-An
Indian called Ahvote shot and killed
two teamsters of the Southwestern
! Mining Co., named Lee Franzen and
Ben Jones, on the ore road between
the mines and the mill yesterday after
noon, and then went on to the cabin of
Christopher Nelson, a prospector, and
killed him also.
| The teamsters left the mines yester-
! day afternoon on the down trip, but
| did not arrive at the mill on time.
| Manager Charles Gracey, supposing
| they had broken down, did not sus-
pect anything out of the way until an
o'clock and reported that Ahvote had
taken his gun and might kill the team
sters. Mr.. Gracey at once sent a man
up on horseback. About six miles up
the canon the latter found the teams
standing quietly, while the bodies of
the teamsters lay on the ground near
their wagons. He at once returned
and warned the people at the mill. A.
Fl. Gracey, the foreman, and two men
went to the scene of the shooting and
brought the bodies down TO the mill.
Franzen had several bullet holes in
his body and Jones one just below the
heart. A party went to Nelson's cabin
early this morning and found him dead
in his bed.
A Chinaman just arrived reports that
Charley Monaghan, who lived alone on
the banks of the river, was also shot in
bed. 1t is feared that the Indian has
several more victims who live alone on
the route he probably took after kill
ing the teamsters.

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS
Make Successful Attack on the
Southern Pacific.
Nhroogh and Local Safes Dynamited ano
1near Contents, Amounting to Many
thousands, Secured-The Mails Not
Observation-Disclosures In Pursuit.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nav 1.-THE
west-bound Southern Pacific passenger
train was held up by masked men and
robbed about $50 miles west of here
early yesterday morning.
AS the train pulled out of the little
town OF Lozier, three men jumped on
the platform, and pointing pistols at the
engineer and fireman, compelled the
former to stop the train about one ami
a half miles west of the town. After
forcing the doors of the express car in,
one OF the robbers entered the car and
dynamited the two safes of the Wells
Fargo Express Co. Both the through
and the local safes were opened and
the contents were secured.
The local safe contained about s., 900
or $1,000. The amount secured from
the through safe is unknown, but it is
believed it will not fall below 81, 900 or
5000. The express car was badly
wrecked by the force of the explosion
of the dynamite. The top was blown
off and the sides and floors were badly
shattered.
The mail was not molested, but was
greatly damaged by the force of the
explosion of the dynamite.
officers are in pursuit of the robbers,
who went north. 1t is claimed they
are part of a gang that came into this
section recently from New Mexico.

THE REVOLUTION IN URUGUAY
1t Has Been Checked After Bloody Fighting
with Heavy Losses.

Ut Has Been Checked After Bloody Fighting
with Heavy Losses.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Recent mail
.advices from Uruguay received here
state that the revolution had been
checked after bloody battle at Tres
Arbeles, in which a large number of
revolutionists were killed and their
leaders driven to the frontier. At the
same time the government has seen fit
to allay public discomfort by taking
into the ministry several leaders who
heretofore have been regarded as lead
ers in the seditious movement.
The minister of war, Gen. Diaz, gave
way for this purpose to Gen. Perez,
who was acting president of the COM
mittee, denounced as seditious and revo-
lutionary. This is accepted as the first
step toward making terms with the
revolutionists, although a strict cen
sorship of the press prevents any con-
struction being placed on the course OF
the government.
The fighting has been bloody, the
deaths reaching into the hundreds.
The president has issued a proclama-
ton congratulating Gen. Nunez on his
last success in dispensing the revolu-
tionists, and a dress sword is to be pre-
scented to him. The government forces
have been reinforced by mobilizing tho
national guard, made up of 6, 200 men.

For a number of years the tendency in
prices of grain has been downward ana the
intermediate charges on grain between the
producer and the consumer IN the way OF
commissions have become of more and more
Importance to the producer. The reduction
of such charges to a minimum has become an
absolute necessity. The reduction has come
about naturally through active competition
by dealers in half dozen cities which are
reaching out for the grain business OF the
west. The public warehouses have been
most important factor in furnishing to the
farmers of Illinois broad and active mar
ket. This has been done without lnterfer-
ing with the business of the country gram
merchants. a system has been developed
which has proved entirely satisfactory to
the country at large, but apparently, is not
satisfactory to little coterie of dealers on
the Chicago Board of Trade. This coterle
has attacked the proprietors OF pubic eie-
vators on every possib ground and has de-
MED them the right in common with other
grain merchants to buy and sell grain. The
public warehousemen for years have dealt
in grain and the competition stimulated by
their position in the trade has been most
beneficial to the interests of the farmer
While the custom of warehousemen deal
ing in grain has been established by GUS
tom the Illinois statutes are silent as to their
rights and powers The bill now in the leg
isIature clearly defines their rights and
meets any objection which could be raised
chants and warahousemen at the same time.
The proposed legislation is in the interests
of the producers of grain throughout the
state and should be enacted. The opposi-
ton comes from the Chicago Board of Trade
people who have been persistently fighting
The elevator interests for years. They have
raised the cry of monopoly and are attempt
ing to diseredit the warehouse bills. They
have made the most reckless assertions as
to the prospective results under the pro-
posed law, while the fact is that the law does
not contemplate any new order of things,
but simply q continuation of the system
which is familiar to the state at large. The
people leading the attack on the bill are
singularly inconsistent. Their objection to
warehouseman dealing in grain is that he
is placed in rpsition to discriminate be-
tween himself and other owners of grain
stored in his warehouse to the prejudice
of the other owners. This objection is fully
met by the section which provides for su
pervision of the warehouse business by the
state. The Chicago Board of Trade less
than two years ago made demand on the
warehousemen for just such supervision as
is now contemplated, but which could not
be granted without change in the state
laws.

THE TARIFF IN POLITICS
Foolish Talk of Placing the Measure
with a Commission.

Foolish Talk of Placing the Measure
with a Commission.
Sesnator Cullom has written re-
narkable letter to the tariff commission
league fayoring the object of the league,
which proposes the removal of the tariff
question from national politics and plac-
ing it in the hands of a commission,
whose duty it shall be to supervise the
tariff laws and keep congress informed
concerning desirable or necessary
changes.
Senator Cullom says that something
ought to be done ''to avoid constant and
extreme changes in the tariff legislation
first going so far in the direction of a
high tariff, and on the occasion of a
change of politics going as far the other
way" He wants to prevent the neces-
sity of a change of the whole tariff by
the party coming into power, for the
reason that the business of the country
will not tolerate it.
1t is gratifying to hear a republican
senator talking of the hardship to bust
ness of wholesale tariff tinkering and of
the desirability of putting a stop to it.
But when he talks of the necessity OF
such a wholesale change he is talking
nonsense, for the republicans found a
moderately high tariff law in force when
they came into power and could have
made it acceptable to the mass of their
own partisans and a sufficient revenue
measure by very few changes. All of
the extreme tariff legislation that has
been accomplished has been the work of
the republicans.
l. 49, ST. nm
four years ago they found in force an
extreme measure, which was almost as
roundly abused by the republicans as by
the democrats. They were pledged to q
reduction of the tariff on a revenue
basis, but when the Wilson bill became
q law it was still measure of moderate
protection and merely made start in
the direction of a revenue tariff.
To talk, therefore, of the danger and
folly of extreme tariff changes is to in
dict the republicans, who now propose
to upset a moderate reduction of an eX-
IRENE measure by still more extreme
measure. To place this extreme meas
ure in the hands of a commission
charged with the duty of keeping it eN-
IRENE would not take the tariff out of
politics Tariff tinkering for the pur-
pose of enriching one set of citizens at
the expense of others on the part of a
commission would be more objection
able than tariff tinkering by congress.
Until tariffs are levied for revenue and
not for robbery it is not worth while to
put tariff legislation in the hands of a
commission and the tariff question can
not be taken out of politics.-St. Louis
Republic.

GEN. POWELL CLAYTON
Cordially Received by the President of the
Mexican Republic.


Mexican Republic.
MEXICO CITY, Mex, May 14.-Gen.
Powell Clayton, the newly-appointed
minister of the United States, officially
presented his credentials to President
Diaz at noon yesterday in the hall of
the ambassadors. The state coaches,
bearing the arms of the republic, were
sent to the hotel where the minister is
residing for himself and family, and
On arriving at the palace they found a
large detail of army officers assembled
to greet the party, while several prom
inent American residents were present.
Gen. Clayton was dressed as a briga-
iier-general of the United States army
and made a soldisrly appearance. HIS
speech contained assurance of his desire
to cultivate still closer bonds with the
government of Mexico, and he ass ured
Gen. Diaz of the sympathy and good
will of the American people. The
president replied in a most cordial
speech and the minister and his family
were taken back to their hotel in the
state carriage.

THE IRON DUKE REASONED.
And by So Doing Helped Himself In Chase
and Battle

GA-S@@
and Battle
1t is told of the duke of Wellington
that he was out fox hunting when the
hounds on reaching the bank of small
river lost the scent. The master of the
hounds apo1ogized to the duke. I'm
afraid, your grace, our fun is over. The
dogs can't pick up the scent. F"
Not very likely, my lord. A fox
hates water"
AYE, aye" urged the duke, 'but he
may have crossed over some bridge"
II don't blieve there is bridge" an
swered the master of the hounds.
WELL" continued the duke, unless
you know to the contrary, though was
never here before. 1 will wager tritie
you will find one within mile"
The two men, followed by the hunt,
pushed on, and less than mile off
came upon arudely-constructedb bridge.
The dogs crossed it, again took up the
scent and killed the fox. Asked for
the reason for asserting that there was
q bridge near, he answered: Il saw
three or four cottages clustered to
gether on each bank of the river, and
thought the people living in then
would be tempted by their social feel
ings to contrlve a means of visiting
each other. That same inference
mine gained me one of my battles. >

THE GOULD MILLIONS.
Proceedings TO Have the Amount of the
Inheritance Tax Fixed.

Inheritance Tax Fixed.
NEW YORK, May 15.-The proceed
ings brought by the heirs of the late
Jay Gould to have the amount of the
inheritance tax fixed was argued be-
fore the appellate division of the SUI
preme court yesterday.
Ex-senator David b. Hill, principal
counsel for the comptroller of the city
and county of New York, who was ex-
pected to make the leading argument,
was absent when the case was called
and John R. Dos Passos made the argu-
ment. He argued that the legacy of
5000, 900 to George Gould was in
reality mere gift and was not pay
mcnt of a debt for services rendered
by George Gould for his father. The
s., 0Jo, 900 referred to had been ex-
enpted by the surrogate when the will
wa probated.
EX-Judge John F. Dillon argued the
case for the heirs. His contention is
that the SIS, 900, 900 was a payment for
services rendered by George Gould for
his father several years prior to Jay
Gould's death. He also argued that
the legacies were appraised too high,
and that the amount of the tax fixed by
the surrogate, S57S, 600, was too large.

Rehuke for DinEIex.

Mr.. Dingley has not yet recovered the
power of speech. Colleagues and friends
fastened to him, as soon as the senate
bill was reported, eXclaiming: "Bless
thee, Bottom, thou art translated!'
But the chairman of the ways and
means committee insists that he must
not comment on his translated bill I'M
til he has had time to examine it and
so to remark upon it ''intelligently."
But it does not require high order of
intelligence, nor prolonged thought, to
see that the senate committee have, in
effect, told Mr.. Dingley that his esti-
mates of revenue were all moonshine;
that his tax en- books and art was an
indefensible barbarism; that his retro
active clause was mere DOGGY with all
the stuffing let out of it; that his
reciprocity proposals were ludicrous.
No such damaging reflection has ever
been made on a chairman of the ways
and means committee by committee
of his own party in the senate. If Mr..
Dingley does not know how crushing
the rebuke administered to him is. he
is the only man in the country who does
not.-N. Y. Post.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling

entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con

400 men are hors de combat. The bat
tie will be resumed tomorrow.
Since p. m the gunboat fotllla has
been attacking Nicopolis from inside

taneous attack proceeding from the

ness stopped the engagement.

that the diplomats are greatly con-
cerned at the news recently received
from Bulgaria. During the past week
much agitation against Turkey had
been reported, both among the people
of Bulgaria and in the Bulgarian army.
and fears are expressed that the pop
ular feeling thus aroused may force

AT THE SEAT OF WAR.

Before Treating-The Greeks Expected to
EVacuate and FAN Back Upon the Old
Frontier, Thus Opening the Way foX
Peace Observation-Disclosures Turkish
Activity Explained.
LONDON, May 13.-The situation at
the scene OF hostilities appears to be
that Turkey is determined to occupy
Domokos before consenting to an ar
mistice and that Greece is convinced of
the impossibility of holding out
against the serious attack which Ed
hem Is preparing to deliver.
1t has been decided to evacute Domo-
kos and to fall back upon the old 'front.'
Ter. This plan will probably be car
ried out tomorrow, if it has not al
ready been carried out, and thus the
way will be opened for peace negotia-
tons.
The powers are in no mood to yield
over much to the demands of Turkey.
The war has had quite an unexpected
effect in revealing an amazing mill
tary vitality in the sultan's dominions,
which is in no way to the humor of
Russia or the other powers.
Hence the sultan will be reminded

which led to the war; that only the in
fuence of Europe has prevented a gen.
eral blaze in the Balkans. and that it
is therefore advisable for him to ac-
cept reasonable terms.
The activity of Turkish military
preparations, which is in no way abated
by the diplomatic negotiations, may
possibly be explained by the following
statement of high Turkish official:
The Russians are putting a high
price upon the moral support they ex-
tended to US during the Armenian
trouble, but the demands now made
upon US are SO exorbitant that their
acceptance would be tantamount to re.
signing our title as free ration"

of the Greek commanders is to capture
the Turkish positions there in order to
demonstrate that they have not yet
