E.. HI. Phelps.

A former visitor in this city, and an
able newspaper man, has just died at
Spring field, Mass, in Edward b.
Phi lips, aged 55. Mr.. Phelps was an
untiring worker, he was for years an
editor on the Springfield Republican,
and the Springfield Evening Union,
out made his commercial as we'll a. his
professional stake in the Springfield
Homestead, weekly that reached un-
der his careful and intelligent guidance,
q very large circulation. Mr.. phelps
became subsequently, the proprietor of
several other journals all of which
were merged into the Phelps Publish
ing company. one being the America n
Agriculturist. Mr.. Phelps was also
for long time western Massachusetts
correspon dent of the Boston Herald
and engaged extensively in other COR
respondence. He was able to retire a
few yeas ago from more than active
labors, but as happened with the late
Samuel Bowles, nature took revenge
on Mr.. Phelps for the years of steady
and unrelieved nervous strain, aud he
has led in what ought to be middle
life. He was also q music an of Aote
and was long the cfganist of Unity
church ia Springfield. Mr.. Phelps
was one of the most consciencious
newspaper men in this country, and OF
the most lovesble disposition. No or e
ever thought of accusing him of q
me an action. He leaves q wife and
several childr en- to mourn bis loss with
the newspaper fraternity.

Indian Degradation Claims.

A WASHINGTON special says: Con-
gressmeu Stephens, Slayden and
Kleberg called on the department. of
justice today in regard to the Indian
deprt dat'on claims. They complained
that the deps rtmeDt was not giving
that attention to the southwest that it
was Civ ng to the northwest and the
claims IN the first named territory
were not receiving the attention that
they deserved. The upshot Of the
matter was that Attorney General
McKenpa promised that he would
send to Decatur and to Sin Antonio a
spt cal agent to take evidence in the
claims to those who have suffered from
Indian depre6 ations, The agents are
to be sent to the places named next
month. The congressman mentioned
say that those who have claims ought
to seize his occasion to fix them, for
it will be about the last chance.

standard advocates in the same political organizations, and 1t will be a more diff ficult task in the future than it has been this year To use common illustration, hen is always disturbed if she has in her brood few ducks which insist upon padding in the water while the chickens are content to scratch upon the land. The democratic party will, in like manner, be i'll at ease if 1t has a few web-footed mem bers who insist upon crossing the ocean for their ideas, while the great majority of the party are willing to find their po- litical food on American soil. Not only is this sparation between the gold stand ard democrats and free silver democrats Q necessity, but it ought to be desirable to both sides. If the gold standard dem ocrats are as bad, politically, as we think they are, we ought not to care to affiliate with them, and if those who supported the Chicago platform are half as bad as the gold bugs say they are, they are apt to contaminate all who associate with them. In my opinion there should be no compromise of the issue involved in the late campaign, and no terms short or absolute surrender offered those who have deserted us. If any democrat becomes convinced that the gold standard is nec- essary, or, becomes defender of trusts he can leave the party and join the boltlng democrats or the republicans. If any bolting democrat sees the error of his way, and is willing to indorse the Chicago platform and labor with those who seek to carry it into effect, we will welcome such democrat back into the fold
 "It will be the duty of the Jackson club to point out from time to time the effect of republican politics so that the work of education will extend over four years, instead of being crowded into few campaign months.
 "Let me call attention to another work which clubs can do. They can encourage the support of those newspapers which are opposed to the gold standard. No newspaper can long exist without read CTS, and unless the advocates Of free coinage are willing to support newspa- pers which represent their ideas they must expect to be without newspapers
 Mr. Bryan closed by bidding the clubs God speed in their work.

FELL TO HER DEATH

Baltimore, Md, Jan. Miss Ida V. Hoagland, private secretary to Miss Mary Garrett, was killed by a fall down an elevator shaft in Miss Garrett's mansion on West Monument street today. It had been the young lady's custom when the elevator boy was not at his post to open the elevator door, reach in and pull the check rope, thus raising or lowering the elevator as she desired. While on the third floor this morning Miss Hoagland attempted to do that, when, losing her balance. she fell to the bottom of the shaft, 40 feet below. Her skull was fract- ured and she was otherwise badly in- jured. She survived until noon. Miss Hoagland was about 30 years of age and a resident of Philadelphia.

DUFFY'S SLAYER,
With His Manager and Referee Ex.
 honerated

New York, Jan. 7.-An inquest into the cause of death of James Duffy, the Bos- ton pugllist who was seized with a hem orrhage of the brain last Saturday night at the conclusion of his glove fight with George Justice at the Broadway Athletic club, was held today. Justice, Manager O'Rouke and Referee Dick Roche are under bail in connection with the affair
 The jury rendered a verdict that Duffy's death was superinduced by excitement, following his boxing contest, and was ac- tolerated by disease of the heart. The jury exhonerated the defandents and re- commended that law be enacted reouir- ing athletic clubs to employ competent physicians to examine all persons before they are allowed to participate in athletic exhibitions of any kind.

THAT WELCOME RAIN.
Checked Drought Which Would Have
 Cost Thousands of Lives.

Calcutta, Jan. "A meeting of supreme council was held today at which Sir John Woodburn stated that India had been saved from the greatest calamity of the century by the rains which had oppor- tunely fallen in November and Decem- Der, which had checked the widespread drought. Further rains last week, he said, had greatly benefited the large area of wheat sown. Nevertheless the situation was still grave. Nearly 750,- 900 persons were receiving relief and the government was freely contributing money and men to distribute it.
 The Earl of Elgin, the viceroy of In- dia, indorsed Sir John Woodburn's state ment and added that it was what the gov ernment was awaiting in order to give better effect to proposals for relief.
 The government, however, could have nothing to do with appeals to private charity. The relief funds were amble and 1t could never be said that the full resources of the empire had not been used in relieving the distress.

ANOTHER STEAMER BURNED.

Carrabelle, Fla, Jan. 1.-The Gulf Ter minal and Navigation company's steam CT lola, burned at her dock at Carra- belle last night. The lola is the com panion United States mail steamer to the Crescent City, of the daily line be- tween Carrabellle and Apalachicola, run ming in connection with the c. T. and G. railroad. The steamer was discover ed to be on fire at about 2 D. m. She was loosed from her moorings and lowed out into midstream and the fire extin- guished after it had gotten down to the hull. The extent to which she is dam aged will not be known until a survey Is made. The origin of the fire Is un- known, but is appears to have caught in the hold. The company have insur- ance on the steamer and she will be re- built. The daily service between Car rabelle and Apalachicola will not be im- paired
