STILL ANXIOUS
A General Feeling of Dlstrust.


WALKER, Mimi, Oct. 11.-For some
time last night the Indian situation
was thought to be nearing a solution,
but reports which arrived since mid
night indicate that the Indians are on
ly playing for time. Three OF the
leading chiefs who promised that the
Bacon hostiles would be surrendered
have no authority to talk for them and
so the whites have reached the con-
clusion that the friendly Indians are in
a conspiracy to delay action until they
can receive accessiOns. In every in
stance where the Indians have been
interrOgated they have said that they
were going to hunt United States mar
shals and government troops, and that
they will not molest white settlers.
The seriousness of the situation can be
better understood when it is known
has been closed and the white teachers
and superintendent brough to Walker.
General Bacon will land TROOPS on the
Peninsula where the Indians are sta
toned tomorrow. The railroads cross
ing Leech Lake reservation are re-
doubling their vigilance in protecting
their property.
United States Marshal O'Conner
says that runners who have been sent
to the hostiles, carrying General
Bacon's ultimatum to surrender or
fight. cannot get back before tomor-
row morning and until they return
troops cannot be moved.
A courier from Flstmouth's village
says that party of Eve agency Indians
have gone after Bog-Ah- Mah-Ge-Shig
with the intention of killing him. The
Indians are relatives of William Rus
sci, the Indian policeman who was
killed last Wednesday by the soldiers
while attempting to desert.
The avenging indians, however. say
the chief they are after was the cause
of Russell's death by bringing on the
trouble. Other Indians are also wait
ing to get shot at the old chief. They
have been assured by deputy e. S.
that nothing will be done to
them by the authorities If they take
the old chiefs scalp.
U. S. Marshal O'Connor in summing
up the situation today said: SIT is as
bad now as ever. There is no more
evidence that the hostiles will surren-
der than there was q week ago, and 1
believe we will have to go after them,
which means a blood. fight and may
make trouble that will not end soon."

\ New Attorney.

Last afternoon in Justice McKie's
court there was q case called in which
the defendent was E. Garcia and the
charge was for fighting.
Mr.. L. e. Archer appeared as an At
torney to defend Garcia. This addition
to the bar of Ell Pas0 will no doubt cut
q large amount of practice off from
Recorder Patterson's practice.
When the case was first called At
torney Archer and his % client
thought it best to plead not guilty, 90
the Justice tried the case
and found the defendant guilty and
assessed his fine at S5 and costs. The
attorney saw that q mistake had been
made in pleading guilty and withdrew
upon the court rendered a fne of one
dollar and costs. This was . great hit
for the young attorney. as it saved biz
Client four dollars.

Federal Court.

The federal court opened this
morning with Judge Maxey on the
bench.
The case OF Frederick Sander against

continued until noon time when the
Judge read his instruction to the jury
aud they were to find for the defend
ant in the case as the plaintiff had fail
ed to make out case of negligence on
the part of the railroad company.
The plaintiff had alleged that he
was entitled to S2O, 900 damages from
the company, because of the loss Of q
leg at Aguas Calientes in March, 1897.

A BAD STRIKE
The Situation Serious.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE strike situation
is assuming a more serious aspect and
it is expected that general strike will
be declared. The bricklayers and
wood carvers have decided to join the
strikers. More than sixty thousand
men are involved. The railway union
is under strong pressure and may join
in the Industrial disturbance at any
time. The police are powerless to cope
with q greater number of idle men and
the scenes of disorder are frequent but
not violent. The government however
is preparing for an emergency and the
troops continue to pour into the city.

ance of a huge military camp.

WlIl Discuss Important matters.

Will Discuss Important Matters.
WASHINGTON. D. c., OCT. lit has
been many years eiuce the heads of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
states have been called upon to discuss
so many matters of great Importance,
as are down for consideration at the
annual meeting Of srchbishops which
assembled at the Catholic university
here today. Moth Notwithstanding the
fact that the archbishops have Ialloweo
the impression to prevail that the con-
ference will deal only with routine
matters the opinion exists
that the question of Catholic
authority in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines will be discussed. This
view is strengthened somewhat by the
fact that Archbishop Ireland has of
late had several interviews with the
president, and the presence of Arch
bishop Keene, who has come from
Rome to attend the conference Is
argued as evidence that matters of un-
usual moment are to be considered.
