cH|PPEWAS STILL HOSTILE.
INDIANS AT BEAR ISLAND WILL
RESIST THE TROOPS.
Five Hundred Braves Are Ready to
Join Them-Fourth and Seven
tenth Infantry Held In Readiness

Minneapolis Oct 1.-THE Journal s
staff correspondent at Cass Lake, Mimi,
wires: Indian runners from the south
passed here in the night going north and
from them information of a flore serious
nature than anything heard heretofore
was obtained. The hostiles at Bear
island have already learned that General
Bacon intends to attack them within As
hours and are buSily preparing to resist
The Indians are well posted on every
thing that goes on at Walker and at the
agency. They are strongly entrenched
and have sent out insulting messages to
the whites. Their runners are busy urg-
ing reinforcements. There have passed
the past three days as many Indians as
soldiers came in on the railroad. A vii
fage passed up Cass Lake this morn
ing and 20 others are now camDed eight
miles northwest from here, women and
children going steadily northward.
Twenty canoes of bucks. four in each,
went up the Mississippi river into Leech
lake last night. 1t is estimated by the
woodsmen here that at least $50, reds,
who will join the hostiles on the slight
est announcement are now within strik-
Ing distance of Leech lake dam.
Chief Chippewa Pine Estimator Seelic
came in from Brainerd last night. He
brings the most alarming reports yet.
He said: Bacon will make another at
tempt in the next day or two. He is de-
bodies. If he does neither the reds will
make break north for the Big Fork
country. He cannot follow them and
they will do terrible damage to the
settlers as they flee. 1 consider the situa-
ton critical both here and along the
ing back to work today but only where
the troops can protect them

DEMOCRATS AT BOUNTIFUL.
Campaign Opened By Judge King
and Others.
Especial to The HeraldJ


Bountiful, Oct. 1.-THE Democratic
campaign in this county was auspic
iously opened at the opera house to-
night by Congressman King, w. H.
Cassidy from Salt Lake, and Hon. John
Fisher, Davis county candidate for the
lower house. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Sam NayIor, jr., and the
Bountiful band furnished the music.
w. II. Cassidy, the first speaker,
characterized the present campaign as
a skirmish to the big battle in 1900. To
elect Republicans means monome-2l-
lism; to elect Republicans in Utah
would be to have word go out among
the people of the east that the very
center of the silver idea had crumbled.
Hon. John Fisher made an address,
brief and to the point. He pledged his
allegiance to the white metal. and af-
firmed his determination to vote for a
candidate for senator who not only was
a Democrat, but rOck-ribbed silver
man.
The chief address of the evening was
made by Congressman King, who open
ed by paying high tribute to the emf
nent qualifications of Judge Baskin to
fill a position on the supreme bench.
Referring to the issues, he pointed out
the widely divergent declarations in
the Republican platform, which, in one
plank, declares for silver, and in the
next for gold. The platform for once
was honest. in that it plainly showed
its construction was for the purpose of
catching votes.

BRYAN's ENDORSEMENT.
Bimetallic Leader Quiikly Responds
to Committees Appeal.

Chicago, Oct. 11-W. II. Harvey,
general manager of the ways and
means committee of the bimetallic cam
paign, is in receipt of the following
letter from Colonel William ]. Bryan
dated at Jacksonville, Fla:
My Dear Sir-I enclose a pledge for
monthly contributions to the cause of
bimetallism until October, 1900 to-
gether with the installment for this
month. 1 most cordially endorse the
plan adopted by the committee and am
confident it will result in the collection
of a large fund for the circulation of BIZ
metallic literature. Since our fight is
in the interest of the plain people,
to use Lincoln's phrase, of the common
people, to borrow a Bible term-we
must appeal to them for the means of
carrying on the contest. The financiers
can contribute large sums to support
the gold standard because the monop-
oily Of money gives them great pc
cuniary profit. Surely you can appeal
with confidence to the millions who suf-
fer from a rising dollar and falling
prices.
Having brought freedom to Cuba,
the American people can renew the
struggle for the financial independence
of the United States. Yours truly.

or county commissioners. Lewis Allen.

for county commissioners. Lewis Allen,
Mill ward; Frank Billings, Green
River; w. S. Powell. Union ward for
clerk, Peter Hanson; assessor, John
Glenn; treasurer, John Blankenship;
sheriff, Enoch Tybbert; no nominations
were made for attorney and surveyor.
The endorsement of Hanson puts his
name on all three tickets, which means
his election.
If fusion had been consummated
there might have been some guessing
as to results, as regards some of the
candidates, but under the present con-
ditiOn it is not necessary to be a
prophet or the son of a prophet to
foretel the result, when it is remem-
bered that the Democratic vote for the
legislative nominee two years 40 was
one vote in excess of the combined Re
publican and Populist vote for their re-
spective candidates.
1t is believed that any dissatisfac-
ton growing out of the result of the
Democratic convention is disappearing
and that the defeated candidates and
their followers will be found in line
fighting for those principles which, af-
ter all, are dearer to them than a mere
temporary advantage.
Altogether the indications point to
the same substantial majority for the
Democratic nominees as has character
lied the past. The state ticket will
sweep all before it.

fsnecial to The Herald.)

Mt Pleasant, Oct. 11.-After 80
mile drive over dusty and otherwise
disagreeable roads, and after delivering
two forcible and excellent political ad-
dresses to the citizens of Moroni and
Fairview respectively, b. h. Roperts
appeared here tonight and, for the edl-
fication and pleasure of a large ana en-
thusiastic audience of ladies and gen
tlemen, expounded in clear and forcl-
BILE manner the doctrines and tenets
of the two great political parties and
explained the principal issues over
which they were at variance. The ad-
dress was free from reflections, ana Is
pronounced one of the most logical and
effective delivered here on political
subjects.
In reference to the issues, he said
the war was not one, but was an Amer
lean war. The Republican party could
not claim any honor from its glorious
ending. Hobson, Dewey, Lee and other
prominent men of the war were Demo-
Gratis Republicans were in the COM
missary department, however, ana
when the responsibility for the treat
ment of the army by this department
was fixed, Republican appointees would
bear the blame. This question as an
issue was not an impossibility.
The tariff was not an issue. The
Democratic national platform OF 1896
had declared in favor Of tariff suf-
ficient to meet all expenses, and the
heavy war expenses would entail
higher tariff.
Locally speaking. woman suffrage
was not an issue, as it was definitely
settled in the constitutional conven-
ton. 10 -
FINALLY, there was but one issue be-
tween the parties, that of the indie
pendent free coinage of silver.
The Utah Republicans. Mr.. Roberts
said, had been able to get together by
the gold men satisfying themselves by
UNFOLDING Mckinley, and, through him,
the yellow metal; and, being aware
that any declaration for silver would
be harmless, they allowed plank in its
favor to be inserted in the platform,
thus giving both the gold and silver
wings solid ground upon which to
stand in the same party, notwithStand-
ing the two planks were absolutely in
harmonious. He demonstrated clearly
how powerless a Republican congress
man would be in any effort he might
put forth in the furtherance of the
white metal. Then, if silver is an issue,
it would be inconsistent to elect Re
publican congressman from Utah.
The comparative strength of the diff
ferent nations was discussed at con-
siderable length, for the purpose of
demonstrating that the United States
had strength sufficient to lead in re-
storing silver to it's rightful position.
Other nations would Immediately act
in conformity if the United States
made the initial move.
In closing his remarks, the supreme
was referred to. Ee paid
high tribute to the Hon. r. n. Baskin,
and asked the suffrage of the voters
in his behalf.

TWO MORE REGIMENTS.
Fourth and Seventeenth Are Held In
Readiness.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Orders have been re-
ceived at division headquarters here from
General Bacon, in command of the De-
partments of the Lakes and the DakotaS,
to have the Fourth infantry at Fort Sher-
idan and the Seventeenth infantry at CO.
lumbuS barracks, Ohio. held in readiness
for immediate service at the scene of the
Indian trouble in Minnesota.
The united strength of the two COM
mands is about LOO. In the opinion of
Colonel Barr, acting commander of the
Department of the Lakes. If they are or
dered to the frontier. 1t will be because a
large body of the soldiers is needed to
round up the belligerent Indians scatter
ed through the Leech lake territory with
as little bloodshed as possible.
Minneapolis. Mimi, Oct. u.-General
Bacon this morning wired to Colonel
Sturgis, assistant adjutant general in
charge of the Department of the Dakotas,
to send all the remaining able-bodied sol
diers of the Third left at Fort Smelling.
y There are only about % available men,
and these will be sent to Walker tomor-
row morning.

NEITHER SAMPSON NOR SCHLEY
NAVAL BOARD AWARDS CREDIT
FOR DEFEATING CERVERA.
It Was a Captains Fight and the
Admirals Were Not In It-Sanp-
sons Plans Executed.

New York, Oct. n.-Although the Amer
lean fleet in the battle off Santiago on
July 3, obeyed the general orders of Rear
Admiral Sampson, given in advance to
meet just such an emergency, it was
essentially a "captain's' fight This is
the substance of the report of the
naval board which mas been investigating
disputed points in the battle. Rear Ad-
miral Sampson was not present and the
two orders signalled by Schley, CLOSE in
and engage the enemy did no good, and
were unnecessary, for the ships had al
ready closed in and engaging the enemy
when the orders were run up. The full
text of the report must come from Wash
ington, but many interesting points were
obtained from the navy yards today after
the board which has been in session on
the Brooklyn finally adjourned.
The board finds in a general way that
each ship in the fleet knew exactly what
to do should Cervera come out and did
it when he actually came out. Each cap
tain fought his ship on plans prepared
Schley directed the general movement
of the fleet in the battle, which it was
unnecessary for him to dc. they would
have been executed because of the
preparations made by Sampson, and
within his general orders.
The findings of the board are summar-
lied as follows:
% The battle was fought and won
Sampson.
(2J The directing of the movements of
ships done by Schley during the battle
was inconsiderable.
90 The New York had no active part
in the fight.
"a The Brooklyn was not engaged at
so close quarters as has been represented
by the first report. On an average she
was two miles away from the enemy.
90 The bulk of the fighting was borne
by the Oregon. Texas and Iowa.
The New York ahOnt nine
miles from the Colon when the ship sur
rendered. and between four pr five mics
from the nearest sister ships engaged.
(From which signal distance is takenD
"a The average range of the ships
most engaged was about mile and
half.
80 No American ship at any time dur
ing the battle was within mile Of an
unsUrrendered Spanish ship.
The New York, the board finds. did
nothing to effect the issue of the battle.
When the Colon's flag came down the
New York was nearly ten miles to the
eastward

INCENDIARIES AT TACOMA.
Destruction of Tourist Hotel That
Has Cost 100000.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE Tourist
hotel. under construction by the North
ern Pacific Land company, was burned
tonight. There had been expended on
the structure up to date 100000, upon
which there is no insurance.
1t was the purpose of the Land COM
pany to make this one of the greatest
hotels in the country and it would have
cost, completed, over S1,D00,000. The no.
tel commands one of the finest sites in
the city, overlooking Puget sound.
Sept 20, the exposition building burn
ed with a loss of $4,000; Oct 2, the
Wooden mills burned with loss of
$50, 600. These as well as the hotel were
erected and fostered by the Land COM
pany. The coincidence of their destruc-
ton on such closely allied dates, caused
much comment and is believed to be
the work of an incendiary. The Land
company has many friends and few
enemies and the work is believed to be
that of an insane person

Speech at American Fork.

Especial to The Herald.)
American Fork, Oct. 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis of American Fork opened the
campaign here last night with a large,
enthusiastic rally, at which Hon. Will

to its fullest capacity, a large number
being seated on the stage.
State Senator A. 0. Smoot who is a

said he was pleased to announce that
the reports from all points of the coun-
ty indicate that the same interest and
enthusiasm exists all over the county
as was manifested here last night, and
he hoped that the Democrats would be
able to say after Nov. that they had
carried the election with clean hands
and honest work.
Congressman King was the next
speaker, and as he stepped forward re-
ceived a hearty ovation. For two hours
he held the audiences closest attention.
He reviewed the history of the money
question from the beginning of Cleve-
lands administration up to the present
time, and compared, with eloquence,
the history of the money question as it
is being made today. with the history
of the same problem as made by the
ancient Roman empire, and by other
countries.
The speech throughout was received
with many demonstrations of approval
The rally is pronounced by all a great
success, and the local committee is
consequently in high feathers this
morning.

sides Senator A o. Smoot and wife,
Otto F. Malmberg of Santaquin, Dem
ocratic candidate for county treasurer:
Jacob Evans of Provo the candidate
for attorney; James S. Lapish, legisla-

Lapish candidate for the lower house,
at the home of his mother. where she
and her daughter, Mrs. Beebee, dis
charged the duties of hostess in such a
manner as to make the candidates for
get the worries of the campaign.
