BRICE GOLD FOR EXPORT.
He Will Manufacture Exclusively for
Foreign Trade.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-There is a horrible
claims that he has found the philOso-
piers stone and who boldly asserts that
by Tuesday he win have conjured II, 900
pounds of gold and silver bullion from
little more than a like quantity of an
timOny, has coquetted with the credul-
ity of the public.
A fragment Of a piece of Brice bull
lion, which one of the wizards S assist
ants SOlemnly- asserted contained gold
to the value of $40, was put to the test
by an assayer. 1t was found to contain
silver to the value of cents and mills
and gold worth 1 6-10 mills. There was
ascertained to be silver to the amount
of 23.7 ounces per ton worth $1422 at
the current ounce rate, and .04 ounce OF
gold worth 81 cents, gold being now
quoted at $2067.
This revelation does not perturb Mr.
Brice in the least. by Tuesday morn
ing he said, 4 expect we shall have
about six tons of manufactured bullion.
When the impurities are removed this
will produce about $50 ounces of pure
gold.
I'VE have made arrangements to
ship this gold directly to the Bank of
England. Under the English law the
Bank of England is compelled to ac
cept all pure gold brought to it at the
market price. AS soon as it has the
government stamp upon it this gold
will pass the same as money
THE reason we send the gold to the
Bank of England is that it viii not be
SO difficult to convert it into money"

Broadway Theater at Denver.

Denver, Nov. 29.-Niss Maude Come
delivered her address on the condition
of the peasantry in Ireland to a large
audience assembled in the Broadway
theater, last night. Miss Come Wv
idly pictured the sufferings of the Irish
people in the land of their nativity,
speaking of the famine and the many
other troubles there. Ter audience fol
lowed her throughout the address with
intense interest. Miss Come is the
guest Of the Irish--4mericans of Denver.

The following resolutions were adopt
ed at the Broadway theater meeting,
a copy of which will be forwarded to
President Mckinley:
'Resolved That this meeting of citi-
zens of Denver endorses the action of
the United States senate in rejecting
the proposed treaty between the United
States and England; that as citizens
of the greatest republic on earth, we
oppose to the uttermOst the efforts of
any monarchy, more particularly Eng
land. to sow seeds of dissensiOn in q
democratic government to which royal
ism is unalterably opposed. We hold
that the premier republic of the world
should keep her glorious flag of liberty
unsullied with the bIOodstained banner
of England, whose constant warfare
against weaker people and whose tyr
amy in India and ireland is a disgrace
to civilization"

HIS NAMEIS TORCESWISKY
Martin Thorn Tells His Story of the
Murder to the Jury.

New York Nov 29.-Word was pass
ed around to the women who appeared
at the Queens county court house today
to seek admission to the Thorn trial,
that much of the evidence which the
defense would introduce would be unfit
for polite ears. The result was that
only three women were among the spec
tatOrs when Judge Maddox reopened
court for the trial Of the alleged muir
derer of Guldensuppe.
Mr.. Howe requested the court to dis
miss the charge of murder in the first
degree and the court denied the re-
quest.
Mr.Howe then began his address with
a declaration of ThOrn'S innocence, sup
plemented with a terrible arraignment
of Mrs. Mack, who was denounced as
the real murderer of Guldensuppe.
At the conclusion of Mr.. HOwe's ad-
dress, the defense called several wit
nesses to testify to the prisoners good
character and after a short recess,
Thorn was put on the stand to testify
in his own behalf.
Beginning with the statement that he
came to America II years ago, the pris-
oner said his real name was TOrcewisky
and briefly related the story of the
murder as told on Saturday.

MAY LOSE OUR INDIANS.
Fear is Expressed That They Will
Emigrate to Mexico.

Washington, Nov ga remarka-
BILE and vigorous report has been made
TO the interior department by Agent
Dew NJ. Wisdom, in charge OF the I'm
ion Indian Agency in Oklahoma, where
the five civilized tribes are located. In
this Mr.. Wisdom says: The intruderS
must 90. The intruders have made the
Indians doubt the good faith of the
government and made it more difficult
to treat on the more important issues
of allotment and the breaking up of
tribal autonomy in the nation to which
the individual Indian belongs. a sound
public policy demands the eviction of
all declared intruders and any measure
of eXpediency on the part of the de-
partment that tempOrizes with the in
trUder or postpones his removal on
mere technicalitieS is fallaciOuS and
misleading. Let all the rules be enforc-
ed and all the safeguards secured to the
Indians, be upheld in letter and spirit
and then the Indians will make liberal
concessions and accept without mur-
muring that changed condition which
confronts them"
The report deals with a number of
important Indian developments. 1t
says; The clamOr for a change in
tribal autonomy has produced Indian
unrest and disQuietude resulting in a
determined purpose on the part of
many of the full bloods who will act in
their individual capacity and emigrate
either to Mexico or South America and
there purchase new homes for them
selves and families Ih1S movement
the report says, may grow to the pro-
portion of a colony and it is under
stood that liberal grants of land can be
secured from the countries mentioned.
This movement may settle the In
dian problem to a degree and thus hap
PLY relieve congress and others who
have cOmbatted with the question for
years. The movement may be chimer-
ical, or visionary but am disposed to
present it seriously"
Discussing the judicial complications
in the territory the report stamps the
change made in putting deputy United
States marShals back on a fee basis as
4 Sreat mistake.
The report takes a rOseate view of
the pOssibilitie of success of the Dawes
commission negotiations.

GRAND'S FORTUNES.
Manager Crawford VIII Run it This
Season at Least

Judge Hazen today refused to ap-
point a receiver for the Grand Opera
house. He made but one condition
and that is that the taxes of 1896 must
be paid before December 20. If that
is not done he gave notice that a re-
ceiver would be appointed.
This gives Manager Crawford the
Grand Opera house for this season at
least. Judge Hazen said in refusing
the application for a receiver that he
had no doubt that the Indebtedness on
the property is more than it would
bring in the market but this is the
middle of the theatrical season. said
he, and if I should appoint a receiver,
it is not probable that he could secure
any companies to play in the house and
as the revenue is entirely dependent
upon that source I do not feel like nam
ing a receiver now.
I shall expect the half of 1896 taxes
which have not been paid to be settled
before December 20. Unless that is
done shall have to appoint the re-
ceiVer as asked for
The application for a receiver was
made by L. r. Kendall who holds a sec
ond mortgage on the house of $4,000.

IMMIGRATION ALL RIGHT.
Labor Unions Say Economic COndi-
tions, Not Pauper Immigration,
Injuries Wage Farmers.

St. Louis Nov. 29.-By a vote of Al to
5 the delegates to the Central Trades
and Labor Union placed themselves on
record as being opposed to farther re-
strictions of immigration. The question
was discussed for over three hours
Sunday.
A resolution was passed which sets
forth that restriction of immigration is
in direct contradiction to the progress
i've spirit of the age, and is a reaction
airy attempt to check the progressive
movement of the wage eanners of all
countries. The resolution further held
that immigration is not responsible for
the present condition of wage workers,
or any other country and that the in
duStrial and commercial crisis from
which this country has been suffering
for several years is the result of certain
economic conditions which may in the
near future cause q new and more ser
iOus industrial and commercial crisis
regardless of immigration.
A notification of the proceedings will
be sent to the headquarters of the
American Federation of Labor.

WILDCAT INSURANCE.
Farmers Victim zsd by a Company
That Insured at Full Value.

The operations of two insurance
sWindlers through southeastern and
eastern Kansas have been reported to
the attorney general by some of the
farmers who have been buncOed.
Two men who gave their names as
Benjamin Mariner and Frank Sc
grand, pretending to represent the
Great Western Insurance company of
London, have been doing a big busi-
ness. These men alleged that their
company had started out to assist
Webb McNa1 in breaking up the insur-
ance trust. and they wrote insurance at
greatly reduced rates. They insured
everything in sight and all property
was insured at its full value.
This fact alone should have aroused
suspicion but it didn't.
The agents were shrewd enough to
work exclusively in the country and
succeeded in making a large amount of
money before the fraud was discovered.
The attorney general is investigating
the matter and will bring prosecutions.
