INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
Indian Bureau Official Says Next Gem sus Is Likely to show over
 3O0,0O0 of Them.

"The Indian is by no means an extinct portion of civilization" explained an ln- dian bureau official to a Washington Star reporter, "as the coming census will very clearly demonstrate Indeed, instead of running out, the last ten years will show that he has got almost us good a hold on life as the most fa- vored of our people. The poems regret ting bis passing away will have to be stored tor some years The Indian of late years has been generally engaged in minding his own business. He is not much improved morally from what he was. but he has not fallen behind to any noticeable extent, It is ,ase of the survival of the fittest, and, while eventually the Indian will have 10 go, he is not gathering up his traps and getting ready to start as yet. Those who regard the Indian as a scattered race, existing in small camps in t'1e far west, will be considerably informed when can tell them that th re is to- day q record of 25O.OOO India S in the western states. There are ] any kinds there. The Choctaws numl-r over l5,- eco; the Creeks even more: the Semi holes abou, a,50O; the Cherokees about 30.O00; Chickasaws about S,500. There are over tO,OOO Indians in the six na- tions of New York state alone. The In- diaa is still in it, and will be in it for many years yet, and l would not be surprised if the coming census will show that there are over 300,000 of them"

Gravity Of Situation at Manches-

LONDON Ky), July 23.-The grav-
ity Of the situation at Manchester, KY,

profoundly here, twenty-six miles away.
Many noncombatants have left their
homes, abandoning their crops, and as
many others as can will leave sOon
Even here in London the insecurity
is felt to such an extent that some fam
lilies are leaving.
An outbreak is expected tomorrow,
the day set for the trials of the Phil
pots, accused of killing Marion Morris
and others. Both parties are muster
ing armed forces for marching into
Manchester tomorrow morning The
Philpots have fifty-two armed horse
men, and no one knows how many foot
men. The Morris and Griffin factions
also have large force The Philpots
say the latter includes the White How
ard faction. On the other hand the
Morris faction say that the Bakers have
made common cause with the Philpots.
Both sides will march fully armed into
Manchester, arriving at 8 o'clock in
the morning to attend the trial 1t is
stated that Deputy Sheriff David Chad
well of the White Howard faction, has
openly espoused the cause of the Grif-
fins.
1t is hard for the people to conceive
how under these circumstances a con-
flict can be avoided tomorrow

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
Bryan Advocates Say the Meeting
at Chicago Was q Success.

CHICAGO, July 23.-The following
signed statement by the National Com
mitteeman from Mr.. Bryan's home
State has been issued:
THE meeting of the National Demo-
cratic Committee was a grand success
Everything for which the meeting was
called was attended to. This call was
made at the instance of the friends
of bimetallism, and those friends con-
trolled it throughout. There seemed to
be some of the friends of our cause
who had conceived the idea that the
intention was to switch issues and lead
ers as we'll as workers, conclusion
without the slightest foundation. The
call was made for the purpose of push
ing the ways and means plan of or
ganization and raising money for the
campaign of 1900, and perfecting this
work SO that it might be extended into
every State and Territory. This was
accomplished. No one who supported
Bryan in '96 need fear that that cause
will be abandoned or in any way ham
pered by the present committee.

LONDON, July 23.-All the morning

pressing the hope that it will not be
the last of such contests. All compli-
ment members of the American team

The standard" says: ANY hostility
which may have ever existed between
the two peoples has been owing to
their ignorance of each other. and noth,.
ing is better calculated to remove it
than such meetings as that Of Satur-
day. Diplomacy and commerce create
jealousies quite as often as they re-.
move them, while nothing but good is
likely to result from the social approxi-
nation which is now springing up be-
tween those in whose hands will be the
shaping of the Anglo-Saxon race. We
trust the meeting may take firm root
as annual gatherings"
The Daily Telegraph" says: Both
countries ought to be proud of their
representatives. Such sons are worth
going miles to see, not solely for their
own sake, but for all they imply of
keen, brotherly competition between
two sections of the Anglo-Saxon race

IN CAPE NOME COUNTRY.
Battle Reported During Which
Three People Were Killed.

SEATTLE, July 23.-Two Klondikers
and one United States infantryman are
reported to have been slain at Cape
Nome two weeks ago in a pitched bat,
tie between claim jumpers and troops
Several others are said to have been
wounded. The news. with meager ue-
tails, was brought down by passen-
gers of the steam schooners Samoa and
Brunswick. The steamer Sadie ar
rived from Anvil City shortly befors
the vessels sailed. but did not bring the
names of the dead.
The officers in command of the Fed
eral detachment at Cape. Nome request
ed Captain Walker in command OF
Fort ST. Michael to rush him re-en-
ther trouble. The troops then at Nome
were sent month ago. when trouble
over claims first commenced.
Dozens of passengers of the Samoa
heard the news, and they say it created
great excitement in the north. F. d.
Ford, who came down on the steamer
says that the report of trouble waa
brought to ST. Michael by the rivel
steamer Sadie early on the morning of
July Sth. The story told was as fol-
lows: Hundreds of claims were held
by a few individuals under powers or
attorney before the rush into the dis
trict commenced. When the Klondik-
ers arrived at Cape Nome they refused
to recognize any power of attorney ana
jumped a number of claims which were
supposed to be rich. Then the trouble
commenced. After jumping claims the
Klondikers refused to bulge, although
they were threatened with extreme vio-
lence by the miners.
On the morning of July 6thlo or 7th the
trouble eliminated, it is reported, on
claim six or seven miles from the
beach. A lively exchange of shots re-
suited and two miners. whose names
are unknown. were killed The detach-
ment of United States troops stationed
at Anvil City then took a hand in the
matter, and one of the soldiers is said
to have been killed.
When the news was received at ST

Dora Schessler, IL Oakdale street,

Late tonight it was learned that
Mrs Martin, one of the injured, would
probably die. She suffered "a compound
fracture of the skull. had one arm
broken and was otherwise injured. She
was with her husband, who was also
badly hurt
The police are now out searching for
the buggy in which the dynamiter is
supposed to have ridden, and all sta
tions have been notified to be on the
lookout for it.
Later reports from those injured show
that they were hurt much worse than
at first supposed. 1t is now said that
Mrs. Harris suffered a fracture of the
skull, and may die, while F. A. Smith
had both legs broken. Three or four
persons in addition to those whose
names are given above, were hurt, but
none seriously.
Within few minutes after the ex-
p1osion crowd of a thousand people
assembled, and the injured, who were
suffering from shock, were cared for
until the ambulance arrived. None of
them were dangerously injured, their
hurts being confined to bruises about
the feet and legs. Mrs. Martin tainted
before she was taken from the car.
All were taken to their homes in am
balances
The motorman on the car managed
to get out of the vestibule of the car,
and then fell to the street, but he
quickly recovered and helped to extri-
cate the passengers from the wreck.
Passengers who were on the car say
the explosion seemed to lift the whole
front end of the car, and it ripped up
the floor for more than half the dis
tance from the front end.
The car was, in fact, a complete
wreck, but, strange to say, it did not
leave the rails, and was taken to the
barns by the next outward bound mo-
tor. The police were quickly sum-
moned to the scene of the explosion,
and a force of men was detailed to
investigate with view of running
down the person who placed the explo-
sive on the track. A boy living near
the corner saw a mysterious man in
a buggy He said he noticed the buggy
drive up there and stop, and saw the
man get out He fumbled about the
rails for a minute or two, and then
jumped into the buggy and drove away
at a gallop.
There seems to be no doubt now that
Mayor Farley will call out three or four
militia companies in this city available
in addition to those already under
arms. The call will include the bat
terry of artillery and the Governor may
be requested to send other troops to
the city.
