for the land thus withdrawn from the
market. In view Of the Indians de-
mands, the proper thing for the presi-
dent or congress to do is to rescind the
executive order of October, 1891, before
the Indians make their claim good. 1t

would throw open for settlement and

SOVEREIGN FOR PRESIDENT.
II Bryan Seeks the Nomination, He
VIII Not Oppose Him, Hut Will
Then Try for the vice-Presi-
dency.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November 1.-THE
General Assembly of the Knights of La
Dor, which has been in session In this
city since the early part of last week,
completed its work to-day and adjourned
until the second Tuesday of next Novem-
Der, when it will convene again in chi
cago.
To-day's proceedings were the most In
teresting and spirited since the session
began. Many questions of national Sig
nIficance were discussed, and in each
case resolutions were passed expressing
the sentiment OF the organization on the
several matters. The financial question
occasioned no end of discussion, and
finally resulted in the adoption of reso-
lutions Genouncing strongly the present
banking cystem as advocated by the ma
tional bankers.
A delegate to the General Assembly
from New York, and one Of the most
prominent men in the body, said this
evening to an Associated Press repre-
sentative That Mr.. Sovereign, beyond
doubt, would be candidate for the
nomination for President in 1900.
"If," he said, "Mr. Bryan insists on
making a fight for the nomination, Mr..
Sovereign will not oppose him, for the
two are warm friends. In such event MT.
Sovereign will become a candidate Tor
the nomination for Vice-President. III
was natural for Mr.. Sovereign to deny
the report, as he did not care for the
capitalists to interfere thus early in his
canvass. and thus greatly injure him be-
fore the fight is fairly on"

MURDER OF JOHN NJ. CLAYTON.
Letter from One Who Says He Can
Locate the Murderer.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, November IT,
The memory of the most famous crime
committed in Arkansas, the assassina-
tion of John NJ. Clayton, has been re-
yived by the receipt of letter by Gov
ernor Jones, written from Pitts, Ca, by
a person signing the name OF Luther
Atkins" The writer of the letter recalls
the crime, enquiries about rewards, ana
states that he can locate the murderer
and produce proof of his guilt.
The murder OF John NJ. Clayton VIII
be remembered by politicians and pubic
men all over the United States. Clayton
was A brother of Hon. Powell Clayton
the present United States Minister to
Mexico. He was the Republican candl-
date for Congress in 1889, his opponent
being Hon. Clifton r. Breckenridge, late
ly Ambassador to Russia. The canvass
was a spirited one, Breckenridge was
declared elected. and Clayton filed con-
fest. While this contest was In progress
CLAYTON went to Plummeryille to look
after certain interests Of his there.
While in his room one night an assassin
fred a load of buckshot through win
dow. infiicting wounds from which he
died. The Legislature at once offered
reward of s., 600 for the conviction or the
murderer. and the reward is probably
yet in force.

AS soon as the Iowa was made fast at
the navy-yarG Captain Sampson came
ashore and reported to the commandant
of the yard. Captain Sampson said TO
representative of the Associated Press;
"There is very little to be said about
the -owa's final trial trip. We saied

time during the trip did we resort 10

south for twenty-four consecutive hours'
the ship was steered east for an hour,
and then northwest for an hour, at her
maximum speed. She obtained about 50
per cent. of her maximum speed under
natural draught, which is about 1874 knots.
In her previous trial the engines register
ed 1O3 revolutions per minute, but this
was with forced draught. On this last
trip the maximum attained was ninety
nine revolutions.
"All the guns on board were fired on
our way home" said the Captain, In con-
clusion. "and everything passed of salts
factorily. Considering that the vessel
has not been in dock for over seven
months. in my opinion, she behaved won
derfully well, and 1 am quite satisfied
with the results"

CHICAGO, November 1.-THE second
session OF the Baptist Congress was de-
voted to a discussion of the question,
SHOULD denominational beliefs impose
limitations upon teachers" There were
some differences Of opinion as to what
constituted the limitations referred TO,
and how they should be observed by
teachers of the Church. The papers
showed that liberal view of the matter
had been taken by the writers, but all
seemed to agree that in teaching the Bap-
tist faith It was necessary to follow the
fundamental principles of the faith, and
that unless limitations were imposed,
this could not be done.
The first paper was read by President
A. X. DeBlois. of Shurtleff College, Upper
Alton, ILL.,, who discussed the matter
from the standpoint Of the teacher. Rev.
A. X. Parker read paper covering the
subject from the ministerial point OF view.
