Indians Gathering in Large Numbers and
Settlers Greatly Alarmed.
DENVER. Col, Oct. 30.-The game
wardens for Colorado yesterday RS
ceived the following dispatch, dated
October %, from Game Warden Little,
at Meelxer:
Indians reported gathering in large
numbers on the Colorado side of the
Blue mountains. Settlers greatly
alarmed. Affairs look very threaten
ing"
Immediately upon the receipt of the
dispatch Gov. Radams called upon
Gen. Otis and held a consultation on
what to do in the emergency. From
the tenor of the despatch it appears
that the Utes left in Utah are rushing
eastward to the assistance of their
brethren.
At first the accounts received from
the outbreak were confusing, and
tended to show that the wardens were
fired upon by the Indians. Later de-
velopements, however. go to show
that the game wardens were the ag-
gressors.
The following report was received
from orr DucneSnc, uaI6O JduSOus

wounded. Wardens caught one In.

said they were going to kill him. In
dams did not understand English.
Wardens attacked them in camp.
Think one warden killed. All Indians
coming this way. Had no other trou-
BILE. Expect to meet them tomorrow.
There may be others in mountains who
know nothing of this affair"
Gen. Otis says that the trouble in
ROutt county will soon end, as the
troops will escort the Indians back to
their reservation. State Auditor
Lowell received a telegram yesterday
from his son, who lives on a ranch
near where the fight occurred, saying
that six Indians were killed and one
game warden wounded Monday.

PROSTITUTION OF OFFICE
HIgh-Handea Methods Employed I
Elect Hanna.

HIgh-Handed Methods Employed TO
Elect Hanna.
There seems to be no limit to the arro-
gance of the Hannaites. Never in the
history of American politics have such
bigh-handed methods been employed in
an attempt to elect man to office as
are now being used in Ohio to send the
republican boss to the senate. And the
pity of it is that these efforts have the
hearty approval of the president OF the
United States.
Mr.. Mckinley has not only supinely
submitted to the pension bureau being
prostituted at the behest of Hanna By
having branch agency established in
Ohio at this time and for the avowed
purpose of expediting the work OF the
bureau to help Hanna; he has not only
made no sign of protest against the
grossest violation of the civil service
rules that has been committed since
those rules were formulated, and per-
mitted Hanna to dragon every en-
ploye of the government into his politi-
cal service; not only has he entered no
objection to members of his cabinet
agreeing to desert their desks and dig
nifty and go to Ohio to plead Hanna's
cause, but the president has signiied
| his intention of quitting the white
| house for week in order that he may
go down to Ohio during the closing week
of the campaign to the end that his
presence may influence votes for Hanna.
And now the country is further dis
graced by the spectacle of its mail serv-
ice being glutted with documents
franked by republican members of con-
gress to Ohio voters, pleading with
them to send to the senate an indi-
vidual who during his brief experience
| in that exalted body showed no capacity
for craftsmanship and only low cum
ming by which he could protect in the
/ tariff schedules certain interests which
contributed heavily to the corruption
fund he used year ago in the election
of the pliable and affable gentleman
who is now nominally president of the
country.
| The disgrace does not end with the
misuse of the mails. It extends further
and discolors the very source of clean
and efficient administration. Scores of
mail carriers are being put on the
forces of various large cities in Ohio,
OSLCAS4oAJ Aux VIC pun PoSC "a A0h0AAAS
| the increased volume of mail. These
carriers were not subjected to the ex-
animation prescribed by the rules gov
erning the post Office department, but
appear to have been selected solely
with the view of giving employment to
men who can be of benefit to Hanna
in his present great need.
Where this prostitution of the public
service will stop can be predicted only
by those who know the necessities and
exigencies of Hanna's campaign. Ger
tain it is that the president will not
raise his voice to call halt.-St. Louis

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

IF the nations prosperity really
depends upon Mr.. Hanna's election,
then the nation must be in pretty
bad way-Chicago Chronicle.
-Financier J. Pierpont Morgan
will get ZOO, 900 for successfully en-
cheering the Union Pacific deal. And
that's Just one item of the expense to
the people caused by electing slush
fund president.-St. Louis Republic.
1t is stated that President Nc
Kinley is already engaged in the prepa-
ration of his next message. There is
probably no truth in this. AT this time
Mark Hanna is really too busy to de-
vote the attention to the subject that it
will reuuire-Peoria Herald.
No matter what administration
made the bargain, it is the duty of the
present administration to stop the steal
of $40, 600, 900 by the Pacific railroad re-
organization syndicate. It is right to
repudiate criminal agreements at any
stage of the transaction. This is good
law as well as good morals.-N. Y.
World.
The principle and operation of
tariff taxation is understood both
abroad and at home and is equally con-
demned by the foreign producer and
the American consumer. Only by the
repeal of existing laws and the enact
ment of others more nearly on d rev.
enue basis can the pending interna-
tionaI conflict of the tariffs be averted
and the people as a whole receive that
widespread benefit which must come
from worldwide competition. That
thing is never settled until it is settled
right is generally believed, and this
truism gains added force and is particu-
larry applicable to so important ques-
tion of economics as that of taxation.-

CONFIRMING THE STEAL.
Facts which Condemn Republican
i'm ONCE.

Facts which Condemn Republicans
i'm once.
Mark Hanna declares that he knows
nothing about the Pacific railroad steal.
Foraker comes more directly to the
defense of the administration. He says
that the steal was arranged under
Cleveland.
Neither these defenses is worth any
thing. The facts remain, and they are
damning.
It is proposed to rob the government
of SEC, o0o, 900. The Mckinley admins
tration consents. The fact, if it is
fact, that a former administration pre-
pared the way for the steal does not in
the least degree excuse Mr.. Mckinley
or his encouragement for permitting
the robbery.
The Union Pacific railroad owes the
government S33. 100000. A gang of rob-
Der spectators propose to rob the
treasury of $20,00o,000. They have ar
ranged that by paying S33,oo0,ooo for
the governments claim they shall get
! the road and all its properties and fran
chises, and that the government shall
thereafter have no further claim upon
anything.
Other men stand ready to buy the road
for 100000 more, thus paying the
whole of the governments claim. But
the -general-formerly the con-
fdential attorney and executor of one
of the great Pacific railroad thieves-of-
icial1y assents to an ingeniously con-
trived arrangement which practically
renders it impossible for anybody to
bid for the road except this bankers
pool. That is to say, he assents to
plan which has been devised solely to
enable this syndicate to pocket $40, 00o,-
900 of the governments money.
Mr.. McKenna can stop this steal if he
wants to. He has only to order post
ponement of the sale until such time as
rival bidders can make offers for the
property. Mr.. Mckinley can compel
him to this course if he wishes to do so.
They do not wish to. do so. Why?
What is the moving impulse? Why does
not the administration desire to protect
the treasury? Why does it favor those
whose plan is to loot the nation and
make private property of its rights?
Is there any history of a campaign con-
tribution involved?
And in the name of all that is rational,
how does any error or any wrong-do-
ing of the Cleveland administration ex-
cuse its successors in confirming the
steal.--N. 7. World.

n. r H THE DUCHESS OF TECK.
During several days past active prep
Rrations had been on foot for the open
Ing of charity bazaar at Richmond,
the duchess having promised to be
present at the ceremony. The streets
have been in process of decoration, and
the bazaar itself was approaching COM
pletion. Everything possible was be-
ing done to make the bazaar a memora-
BILE event and to do honor in every way
possible to her royal highness.
Many inquiries made at the White
Lodge, the residence here of the duke
and duchess of Teck, show that it was
only when the duchess returned from
the north a few days ago that there
were slight symptoms of recurrence
of the strangu1ated hernia, for which
she underwent an operation in July
last, but it was not expected that any
serious consequences would ensue.
On Monday, however. the duchess be
came i'll, though even 10 serious symp-
toms were observed. But on Tuesday
she became worse, and the London
specialists, who had previously operated
on her, were summoned to Richmond.
They held a consultation and decided,
Tuesday evening, that the life of her
royal highness could not be sustained
without another operation. This was
successfully performed, but the duchess
gradually sank and died at three
o'clock. The duke of Teck is
Frustrated at the death of his wife.
The duchess of York was the only 9TH

death of the duchess.
The duke and duchess of Teck had
four children. of whom the eldest,

1865, is the duchess of York.
An official statement has been issued
to the effect that the duchess of Teck
died of cardiac failure. two hours after
the operation which was performed up

Cause OF the FEanco-E1n SlIsh Difficulty ia

PARIS, Oct. 2S.-It is understood that
the fundamental basis Of difficulty be-

west Africa is that France declines to
recognize the treaties concluded with
native rulers by officers of the British
Niger Co, until the text of such treat
les has been officially communicated to
France by the British government
Thus the French government claims
that many of the treaties made with
African potentates in behalf of France
take precedence over the treaties
in behalf of the British Niger CO.
