HEUS AND HIS "SOONERH ARMY
READY TO MOVE INTO THE
WICHITA COUNTRY.
Expedition Left For Oklahoma Last
Night-The Commanders Letter
to Secretary Bliss.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. Captain E. L.
Hews, the boomer who claims to have
enrolled in Wichita 800 recruits to the
Sooner" army. with which he hopes
to invade the Wichita mountain coun-
try within the Kiowa and Comanche
Indian reservation, in Oklahoma Ter
ritory, left here today for Oklahoma
City, where he will continue his re-
cruiting. Twenty-Five men. with nine
wagons, accompanied him from here.
Today as "commander-in-ch chief" of
the Sooner army, he has addressed a
letter to Secretary Bliss. in which he
asserts that there is no desire on the
part OF himself or his men to act in
defiance OF law or justice, but by the
memory of George Washington, sir, he
adds, we have the right of free born
American citizens to expect consider
alton from you, and all other servants
Of the people,
The boomer calls on the secretary of
the interior to state the grounds upon
which he forbids the Would-be prospect
ors from operating in the Wichita
mountain country under the act of con-
gress, approved May TO- 1872. He adds:
I'VE are in earnest, sir, and viii stand
no trifing or arbitrary treatment from
the Indian agents and government Of
ficials."
This is supposed to mean that the
boomers are determined to invade the
reservation, and today the boomer chief
declared that his army would be ready
to move by the middle of the month.

Democracy'S House Leader Talks On
Pertinent Topics.
CUBA AND CURRENCY
PROBABLE OUTCOME OF MORGAN
RESOLUTION.
Its Fate Will Be Determined By
Public Sentiment - Concerning
Currency, III. Bailey Says No
House Measure Would Pass the
Senate.

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-Congressman Jo-
seph Bailey Of Texas, the recognized
leader on the Democratic side of the
house, passed through the city today
en- route for Washington
He expressed his opinion that not
much win be accomplished by the ap-
preaching session of congress, partic-
ularly regarding the currency question.
There is q possibility" he said, that
the house may take some action re-
sarding the currency, providing the
president sends a message to congress
recommending the retirement OF the
greenbacks and the conversion of non
interest bearing governments notes into
gold interest bearing securities. Should
the president do this, such a measure
would doubtless pass the house, but in
no event would it pass the senate, and

Asked his opinion of the fate of the
Morgan resolution, recognizing the bel
ligerency OF Cuba, he said: Every
thing depends on public sentiment. If
public feeling remains dormant the
resolution viii net be acted upon in the
house, but if the public makes q strong
demand, then the resolution viii be
taken up and passed under rule lin
iting debate"

INDIAN TRADERS SHOULD GO.
Army Officers Make Reports on Pre-
vailing Abuses.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Some interesting
reports have been made by Indian
agents in their annual review OF de-
velopments in their fields.
Captain SpTole of the Fort Peck
agency in Montana urges that the
Indian trader, like the old post trader,
should go, the government should own
its own stores. With the trader extin-
guished. he says. an Indian agents po-
sition won't be so valuable. Meantime
they let the Indians have all the stores
they want, for in the cult of the trad
ers Mr.. Lo stands no show.
Captain Sprole makes this comment:
''The treaty of these people viii soon
expire. Whatever treaty is made with
them in the future should be done by
those not influenced by local race
prejudice"
Agent Cramsie, at the Standing Rock
agency. in North Dakota, charges that
notwithstanding the state prohibition
law. county or town officials have never
made any effort to abate the sale OF
LIQUOR in Emmons county, and that six
or eight "blind tigers are running wide
open in Winona, n. D.
Recommendation is made for With
holding gratIitOus subsistence from the
non-progressive Indians not disposed to
labor for their support.
Many of the Indian agents recon-
mend the discontinuance of rations and
clothing, and urge the substitution OF a
policy making cash payments to the
Indians for a time.

Evidence That George Dean Is the
Guilty Man.
MOST ATROCIOUS A
COMMITTED LAST AUGUST ON
THE SUMMIT.
Dean Is Believed to Have Murdered
a Crippled Tailor of Colorado
Springfield For Forgery-How
the Case Was Worked Up By the
Police.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. 1.-Evi-
dence seems to show that Shirley D.
Chamberlain, alias George Dean, held
by the police of this city under charge
of forgery, is probably the murderer
of Herbert Kay, who was killed on
Pixies Peak on the 18th of last August,
and also of Louis Schmidt, a crippled
tailor, whose decomposed body was
found in a small cabin in this city on
Sept. g.
Ever since the release of John B. Ed
mUnds, the young man who was
brought here from Kansas City on sus-
picion of being the murderer of Kay,
the police have been working quietly
upon this case, and succeeded in accu-
mulating evidence which seemed to
point towards Dean, who is an ex-con-
Vict. Dean was arrested in Canon
City Monday by Detective Joel Akin
son of this city and brought here, and
today was identified by two young
women who were met by Kay and his
companion on the Peak on the night
Kay was murdered. A WashWoman at
ManitOu has also identified Dean as the
man who called for q suit of underwear
at her place last summer. This suit
easily recognizable by some peculiar
patches, was afterwards lOuDQ SOAKED
with blood and hidden under culvert
beneath the Pixies Peak cog road.
Chamberlain is connected with the
Schmidt murder by the fact that Kay S
watch was pawned in Colorado
Springs brokers' office by Schmidt, the
missing tailor. The body found in the
shanty was so badly decomposed that
it could not be identified and for some
time the police were in doubt as to
whether Schmidt had been killed or
whether he had killed some one else
and then disappeared.
Chief Cartright and Detective Akin
son, who have worked up the case, en-
terrain the theory that Chamberlain
traded Kays watch to Schmidt, and
after he learned it had been sold by
Schmidt to a local pawnbroker, he
murdered Schmidt also.
On Aug. 25, less than a week after
the Kay murder, Chamberlain was mar
ried by a justice of the peace to Edna
Squire of Bridgeport, Conn, and in a
letter TO = physician Of this CITY Mrs.
Chamberlain, who is now in Bridgeport
or Danbury, declared that on the morn
ing of Sept. 8 Chamberlain came home
after having been out all night, and ex-
hibited 500 in money and a watch
marked Jennie" which answered the
description of a watch belonging to
Schmidt. This was the morning after
the Schmidt murder is supposed to
have taken place

Depletion of Australian Stocks Guar
antees Higher Prices.
Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter viii say to-
morrow of the wool trade:
The wool market has shown very lit
tie activity during the past week eX-
cent in fine wCols. In Australians the
movement was heavy last Friday and
Saturday. The purchasers have been
principally mills, the wool being
bought to go out of the market.
ANY change in prices which may have
occurred has been of q spasmodic char

that the depicting of the stocks of

prices for what is left can soon be OBJ

class is now practically withheld from

HAYTI STORY IN A NUTSHELL
IT'S EXACT NATURE NOW FULLY
DISCLOSED.
Demand of the German Government
Hayti's Reply-No Invasion In
tended.

Washington Dec. 1.-The exact ma
became known for the first time today
Details came by way of steamer from
Port au Prince, which arrived at New
York yesterday, and show the demands
to be as follows:
First.-An indemnity Of 10000 Ameri-
can dollars for Emil Lueders.
Second.-The promise that Mr..
Lueders may return to Hayti and there
sojourn without danger of any kind.
Third.-A letter to my government in
which you will express an apology for
the proceedings toward the German
government in the whole transaction.
FOurth.-That the president of Hayti
shall graciously receive the German
charge d'affaires at Port au Prince.
1t was also announced that if indem-
nifty was not given a warship would
be sent or diplomatic relations be
broken.
Without answering the demands in
detail, Hayti asked if Germany, by pre-
senting this demand, intended to close
the negotiations in the Lueders case.
and also upon what ground an apology
was asked.
The money demanded was regarded
by Hayti as far less important than
the other three demands which were
considered as affecting Hayti's honor.
The demand that the president receive
Count Schwerin graciously was looked
upon as involving a deep humiliation,
as it was this official who had gone be-
fore the president and rudely submitted
his demands. It was this fourth de-
mand which led Hayti to prepare for
one eventuality.
Since the foregoing correspondence
closed, it has become apparent, accord
ing to cable dispatches from Berlin,
that the suggestion as to sending a
warship has been modified, and that
there is no present purpose to send
one.
Berlin, Dec. 1.-The United States
ambassador, Andrew White, in his in
terview yesterday with the German
minister for foreign affairs, Baron Won
Bulow, received emphatic assurance,
couched in friendly terms, of Germany
moderate intentions in regard to de-
handing Of Hayti an indemnity for the
illegal Imprisonment of Herr Emil
Lueders, a German subject Baron Won
Bulow assured Mr.. White of Germany S
good will and respect for American
susceptibility, which caused the Ger
man government to reduce its claim for
indemnity to $4,000.
Mr.. White explained that the United
States cruiser Marblehead was going
to Port au Prince, Hayti, solely to pro-
tect American interests.

NHALERS ARE NOT SUFFERING
so SAYS SAILOR WICKERsHAM,
JUST RETURNED.
They Can Kill Bear, Seal and Walrus
Around the Ships and Deer is
Obtainable On Land.

Chicago, Dec. IA special from Ia
coma, Wash, says: Sailor Frank
Wickersham has just returned from an
eight months whaling trip in the Arc
tic ocean on the steam bark William
Bayliss. His ship was in company at
various times with the eight whalers
now imprisoned in the ice east of Point
Barrow Wickersham declares that the
men aboard the ships are not suffering,
as is generally supposed. He says:
Those vessels carried a years sup
ply Their men are now enjoying life
and will be perfectly safe and comfort
able until the ice breaks up next sum-
rner, and they will probably not ex-
perience any hardships then. Should
any vessel be crushed the men can
easily get to the other ships or to
shore, which is not more than mile
away They can kill bear, seals and
walrus around the ships, and deer are
obtainable on land. The natives live
mostly on flesh of animals of that re-
gion, and if necessary the sailors can
do likewise"
Wickersham does not believe that the
Bear will reach the Whalers this win
ter. He says the Bear was within five
miles when the sailors of the wrecked
whaler Nevarach froze to death on
float ice. The 16 picked UP by the bark
Thrasher told him they saw men malk-
ing the Bears deck while their COM
panions were dying. The whalers
blame Captain Whiteside of the Neva-
rach and the Bears officers for not
making a. more thorough search be-
fore steaming off and leaving the Ne
varach crew to die.
