A Piute Murderer Killed in Arizona.

Kingman, Ariz., July 22.-1nforma-
ton received from Rioville, New, at
the mouth of the Virgin river, says
that Mouse, the Piute murderer, was
killed two days ago on Muddy creek in
Lincoln county. Nevada, by posse of
pursuers.
Mouse is the Indian who killed
Stearnes and Davis on the Colorado
river last winter near the White hills.
A reward of $3.50 was offered for him,
dead or alive, and constant search
has been made for four months. No
trace, however, was struck till week
ago. He was then located In the
Charleston mountains, north OF Van
derbilt. Sheriff Butts wired William
Miller, of Vanderbilt, to take trailers
and 90 out. Miller found the trail
and followed it to within 10 miles Of
Muddy settlement. The Indian trail
ers then turned back, being afraid OF
the Indians on the Muddy. Miller
followed alone and finally ran down
Mouse, who was shot five times before
he gave up.

Washington, July 23.-The tariff
conference report was taken mp in the
senate today after routine business was
disposed of and the formal reading OF

formal, most of the time being given
to identifying the numbered amend
ments with the text OF the senate bill.

Placing the Navy on a War Footing.

New York, July 21.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
With view to making available for
immediate service as many of the ships
of the navy as possible, Secretary Long
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of plac-
ing the monitor Miantonomah in the
reserve.
The Miantonomah was laid up in or
binary at League island in 1895 and
since that time but little attention has
been paid to the ship except to make
repairs from time to time. Secretary
Long now intends to have the vessel
put in thorough condition so that she
can be ordered into reserve with the
Columbia and Minneapolis. This
means that s'short crew" with full
supply of stores and coal will be kept
on board and that the she can be made
ready for sea service within five days
if the necessity arises.
While department officials declare
there is no significance in this move.
the attitude of Japan with respect to
Hawaii and Cuban troubles are suffi-
cient to make the administration de-
sire to be in good shape to meet any
emergency that may arise.

ONE HUNDRED SAIL ON THE AL-KI

and In Juneau-Large Numbers
of New Workers Interested.
Seattle, July 20.-One hundred men
took passage today on the steamer AL
XII, most of them starting on what is
called the overland trip to the Clon-
dyke. From Juneau they will go 100
miles further by water, to Dyea, thence
over the mountain passes, down Lakes
Linderman and Bennett to the Yukon
river and down that river to the new
discoveries.
Among the crowd were many men
well known in Seattle; men who have
been long identified with its growth
and development. The Al XII was
billed to sail at o'clock this morning.
At 6, crowds began to gather on the
deck. At 8, it was announced she
would not sail till l o'clock. The
crowd kept growing larger. At l
O'Clock it was said she would not get
away till 5, and at that hour she threw
off her lines and pulled into the bay,
thousands of people that lined the
water front sending her Godspeed with
cheers and shouts.
Every inch of her passenger and car
60 space was taken.
The steamship Portland, whose arri-
val Saturday morning, with her load Of
treasure caused tremendous excitement
here, is due to sail for st. Michaels, at
the mouth of the Yukon, next Tuesday,
but it is likely that she will not get
away for day or two later. This
boat will not carry pound of provi-
sions except for the North American
Trading & Transportation Company,
which operates it. But its passenger
accommodations are all engaged. At
st. Michaels, the passengers and
freight will be transferred to Yukon
steamer.
Captain Carroll, of the excursion
steamer Queen, which arrived tonight,
denies the reports sent out that there
will not be an able-bodied man left in
Clondyke. Juneau merchants are very
short of goods-having outftted pros
pectors and miners until their stocks
have run extremely low. It is undeni-
ably true that many men from Alaska
towns have gone to the placer diggings
inadequately supplied with food or
money, and that much suffering will re-
suit. The miners have posted notices
along the various trails and routes to
the gold fields that men without provi-
sions would receive scant welcome.

Senate Proceedings.

Senate Proceedings.
Washington, July 2l.-The senate,
after assembling, went into executive
session for over two hours, and on re-
opening the doors the conference report
on the general deficiency bill was agreed
to. The Harris resolution in regard to
the Union Pacific railway was taken up,
and Morgan continued his speech on the
subject. He hoped the president would
defer action in order to enable congress
to look into the matter. Thurston gave
notice of his intention to discuss the
subject in the future. Stewart then
took the floor.
He reviewed the history Of the con-
struction of the road. contending that
it was a patriotic effort, and not a
scheme to rob the government. Harris,
in REPUTATION of this, called attention
to President Cleveland's structure upon
the Union Pacific management in his
message of January II, 1883.
Stewart said he did not wish to ex-
onerate the company from the payment
of its just dues to the government, but

criminals. He desired to have the
whole matter closed. The resolution
under consideration would accomplish
no purpose.
Thurston spoke in opposition to the
resolution. He contended the govern
ment had already risked enough money
in the investment; that, without ex-
tending another favor and without
making further expenditure, it should
proceed in the ordinary legal methods
through the courts to enforce its legal
rights, whatever they might be, and to
secure repayment Of all it's dues on
whatever property the courts shall find
are justly subject thereto. The propo-'
sition before the senate, he said,
stripped of technicalities, was simply to
invest another $34, 900, 600 and take the
chance Of getting it back on the ulti-
mate sale of the road.
At O'Clock an executive session was
held, and then adjournment was had.

ence report on the bill was adopted by
the house shortly after midnight BY a
vote OF 1876 to 118, and at noon today
the report will 60 to the senate for ac-
ton there. This eclipses all previous
records. The result was accomplished
after 10 hours of continuous debate.
But two speeches were made by the Re.
publicans. one by Dingley, in opening
the debate, and by Payne, in closing it.
The sugar schedule was the main
point of assault, but the most interest
ing feature of the debate occurred when
Bailey and McMillin, the two rival
Democratic leaders, crossed swords on
the question of the orthodoxy Of the free
raw material doctrine, the former op-
posing and the latter championing it.
The galleries were crowded up to
the time the vote was taken, many dis
tinguished people being present.
Among them were many senator's,
many members of the cabinet and few

JUDGING COUNTY EXHIBITS.
Decision VIII Not Be Reached Until
This Afternoon.

The rivalry among the counties COM
peting for the 81, 200 prize offered in the
department of county displays was
keenly manifested yesterday when the
Judges commenced their work. Owing
to the extent of each exhibit, the judg-
ing is necessarily slow, and as every
point is of great value to the con-
testants, great care and thorough ex-
animation marks the progress of the
awards. The individual displays were
gone through first and the judges
found exceptionally high quality
among all of the exhibitors necessitat-
ing the closest kind of marking. The
counties that received attention were
Stevens, Wright, Renville and Pope.
These are the ones making the small
err exhibits and rather gives a line on
the situation relative to the prizes as
it is evident the larger and more ex-
tensive displays are beng left until the
last. Prominent among these are Pine
county. Anoka county and Otter Tail
county, among which there is the hot
test kind of competition.
In the counties judged yesterday
only products were scored, thus leav-
ing the question of superior arrange
ncent and design, which will count
largely in the averages, to be decided
later. The markings Of the judges
were not averaged last evening and
consequently it was impossible to as
certain the standing of the exhibits in
spected. but it is thought that the en-
tire department will be finished today.
The judges are Warren Potter, of Ait
kin county; Alexander Tiddes, of Jack
son county, and l. E. Philly, of Lac
qui Parle county.

stitute, has composed neat camp near
the southwest entrance. Something
like sixty tents have been pitched and
are now occupied by over seventy-five
farmers and their families from all
over the state. The camp ground is
inclosed by a wire fence and is par
ticuIarly neat in appearance, although
many of the families do their own
cooking Each tent is furnished with
cot and bedding and more unique
idea for a weeks summer outing could
not have been thought of.
The idea originated with the insti-
tute and has been tried several years
with no greater success than this fall.
The camp in fact composes the first
work of the institute, and by this
means the leading farmers Of the state
and their wives and families are in
duced to attend the whole week of the
state fair, living right on the grounds
and going about at pleasure. Season
tickets are sold, or tickets for one Or
two days if the visitors cannot remain
the whole week. The tents are fur
nished free Of charge by the institute
and a small amount is paid for the use
of the bedding. In this way the farm
ers see the fair in full to good ad-
vantage. The camp was ready Mon
day, and today every tent is occupied.
Last year and the year Of the Hinckley
fire there was no camp the tents being
in use elsewhere.
Life in this camp is delightful. For
some reason or other, probably the
wire fence, there are no mosquitoes to
bother, the weather has been good, and
there have been no miShapS. In the
evenings many Of the campers attend
the festivities in town. while in camp
bow nd cstn ORIG
soldiers being among the visitors.
The institute itself does not intend,
during fair week, to engage in any but
special work, the hall being used for
meetings Of various kinds as the oc-
casions seem to demand, the super
intendent, o. c. Gregg, stating that the
members understood that it would
simply be impossible to call any regu-
lar meetings during the excitement.
The programmes for each day are bull
letined the day previous Yesterday
meeting was called for the organiza-
ton Of cyclone insurance department
by the Association Of Farmers for Mu-
tual Insurance Mr.. Gregg stated that
the new department is being carefully
organized and promises to be good
one. This morning the members will
visit the experimental station with one
of the professors. Friday a meeting
Will be held under the auspices Of the
state board of health, to discuss hog
cholera, which is attracting attention
among the farmers Of the state just
now. Among those in camp are Maj.

tute of Wisconsin; D. w. Watson and

LOOKS LIKE BEER.
Three Persons Charged With Selling
Intoxicating Drinks.

There are several bottles of a mys-
terious liquid in Secretary Randalrs
office. Probably most persons after a
sniff or a taste of the contents would
declare the liquid to be beer but the
refreshment dealers from whom they
were seized by the police at the fair,
averred it to be purely non-intoXicat-
ing; that it was nahum, or hop tonic.
Three persons keeping stands on the
grounds were placed under arrest
Tuesday on a charge of selling in
toxicating liquor without a license,
and yesterday the privileges of three
others were revoked for a similar Of
Tense. Those who were arrested were
arraigned before a justice of the peace

Railway Traffic Tells That the City
Is Filled Up.

The people are still coming to the
state fair, many of the roads yester-
day bringing in special trains to ac-
commodate the extra traffic. All the
incoming trains were crowded even I'M
til evening, and the union depot pre-
scented a scene of unusual activity all
day. The fact that today is st. Paul
day, and the big celebration
here this evening, had the eff
feet of increasing the num-
Der of visitors, and the streets yes
terday bore ample evidence of the fact
that there would be tremendous out
pouring this afternoon and evening for

would be sufficient upon a basis of the
