| Lander, Wyo.. June 21.-John Hays,
post butcher at Fort Washakie, on
! Monday afternoon about 6 o'clock saw
three men on horseback with two pack
horses coming out of the bad lands on
the Wind River reservation, about
twelve miles from Big Wind river. The
men were travelling west and Hays,
knowing that the robbers were expect
/ ed to pass through that country.
watched them until they went into
camp on Crow creek. a short distance
from Crow Heart Butte. He put back
to the river and there met j. c. Bald
win, with a posse of six Shoshone po-
lice. who he put on the trail
On Tuesday evening a posse of four
teen men led by A. NJ. 'Sparhawk of the
Denver secret force, camped near the
camping place of the robbers of the
evening before. This posse had fol-
lowed the trail of the robbers from
the northwestern corner of Natrona
county, keeping the trail with blood
hounds The robbers crossed the Big
Horn river four miles below Thermopo-
lis Sunday night and some time dur
ing the night sent man to Thermopo-
lis who purchased all the 30-30 ammu-
milton in the town, and lot of sup
plies.
The robbers are keeping away from
the roads and trails and going through
the toughest section of the country. Re
cent rains have fallen and the trailers
now have no trouble in following the
trail by the footprints of their horses.
They are heading directly for jackson
Hole" but with the posses following
them, they will undoubtedly be cut off
before they can reach it. The Sho-
shone Indians, composing one of the
posses, know every foot of the country
and will no doubt be able to take a
cutoff that will bring them in ahead of
them.
Sparhawk's posse is gaining ground
fast and travels several more miles a
day than do the bandits. 1t is thor
oughly believed that the capture will
be made in few days as it is almost
impossible for the bandits to get out of
the country in which they now are.

HEADED TOWARD UTAH.
Belief That Bandits Are Making For
Powder Springs Rendezvous.

Vernal, Utah, June 21.-Sheriff Preece
with several men left here late last
night for the Browns Park country A
careful inquiry leads to the conclusion
that advices have been received con-
cerning the movements of the Union
Pacific train robbers.
The sudden departure of Sheriff
Preece gives rise to the belief that the
fugitives are headed this way. Should
the bandits reach the old Power Springs
rendezvous in advance of the officers,
it is feared by many that they will
find supplies and perhaps reinforce
mentS awaiting them, as there is no
question but there is constant commu-
nication between the different central
points of operation. Sheriff Preece is
thoroughly familiar with the country
around Powder Springs and Browns
Park, having made many trips into
that wild section and should the out
laws invade the old haunts of Tracy
and Liant they will no doubt receive as
warm a reception as did those desper-
ate characters.
Powder Springs is close to the line of
the three states, Colorado. Utah and
Wyoming and is an ideal place for the
rendezvous of bad men. But of late
Sheriff Preece has kept such a watch on
the place that matters have been pref
ty quiet, although different parties
have reported signs of life at the old
stand on several occasions. Should the
fugitives reach this station they will
run up against the hardest combination
they have encountered. for Uintah
county has some of the most deter
mined men in the west, men who balk
at nothing and are ever ready to assist
the officers at a moments notice

BRYAN AND SILVER.
Senator Bate Tells What the Demo
Gratis Will Demand.

Fresno, Cal, June 21.-United States
Senator w. B. Bate of Tennessee has
been visiting relatives in this city foI
the past week or so. In an interview
with an Associated Press reporter, Sem
ator Bate expressed his views on pub
lie topics quite plainly.
Regarding the prospects of Mr.. Bryan
as the standard bearer of the Demo
cratic party in 1900. Senator Bate said
the heart of the Democratic party was
with Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago plat
form on which he ran.
1.-The Chicago platform will be re-
affirmed said Senator Bate, "and the
clause against trusts will be strength
ened. The united south will stand be-
hind Mr. Bryan, free silver and oppo-
sition to trusts.
Mr.. Bate said very small part of
the Populists will refrain from coop
Grating with the Democracy, especially
if Mr.. Bryan is the leader. Another
thing which is encouraging is that a
large portion of the German element in
the northwestern states which are
doubtful, is in sympathy with the De-
mocracy and against expansion.

DEFICIT OF THE TREASURY
WILL PROBABLY BE LESS THAN
100000, 900.
Receipts and Expenditures of the
Government For Fiscal Year
Cost of the War.

Washington, June 21.-It is regarded
as a conservative estimate that the
/ treasury deficit for the fiscal year 1899,
which closes ten days hence, will be less
than 500 900. .000 Already the receipts
/ for the year aggregate over S4S9, SOC, 600,
with the expenditures barely 500, ,000,-
I 600 more, with ten days. judging from
| past years. of heavy receipts yet to be
/ accounted for. Up to this date the GUS
/ toms receipts amount to over $500 400. =
/ 900: from internal revenues. S263, ,550. 900
was realized, and from miscellaneous
sources there was received $35. 800, 000
The total receipts from all sources last
year amounted to $405. .321. .335. while the
expenditures aggregated s44S. 36S, ,5S2,
( leaving a deficit of $3S.047, ,247.
From the closest calculation that can
now be made, the war revenue account,
which, with the exception of a few
items, went into effect on July l. 1898,
will realize for the year a little less
than 500, coo, GOO. The receipts from to-
bacco alone will probably show an in
crease for the year of over SIS, 900, 900:
spirits, an increase of Sc. 500. 900; beer
and other fermented liquors, an in
crease of over $2S.000.000. and oleomar-
gerine, an increase of $685., 600
The two items which have produced
more than ten times as much revenue
as any two others, are those applying
to documentary and proprietary
stamps. On April 80 last these items
had produced over $50, 500. 600, and it is
not improbable that by July the total
Will exceed S44. .000. 600. The tax on leg
acies will probably produce not much
in excess of 1000, 000 while the special
tax collected from bankers will exceed
IS. 100000
The expenditures up TO this time ag-
Sregate about $500, ,000 900. OF this
amount S2S, 900 was paid out on
acquisitions from the war department,
S64.OOO,OO0 on account of the navy. $139,-
100000 on account of pensions. and
nearly $40. ZOO. 900 on account of inter-
est on the public debt: S12,675 900 was
paid TO the Indians and $117, ,270. 900 was
disbursed on civil and miscellaneous
account.
At this time it is impossible to state
with any degree of certainty what the
war with Spain and the troubles in the
philippines have cost during this year,

injured. Five men were wounded, two

ENDS THE SHUTDOWN
Orders Given to BLOW" In the COL
OradO SmelterS.
MEN ANXIOUS TO WORK
WILLING TO WAIVE RECOGNI-
TIoN OF THE UNION.
Indications Are That Within a Day
or Two ALI Plants of Big Trust
Will Again Be In Operation-Em-
ployees Ready to Accept Scale
offered.

Denver Colo, June 21.-There is a
general feeling in Denver tonight that
the smelter strike is almost at an
end, and that within day or two the
plants of the American Smelling & Re
filming company will again be in Oper-
alton. For some days past reports
from Pueblo were to the effect that ac
tivity was manifested about the Colo
and that it was evidently preparing TO
resume operations. 1t has also been
stated that the Colorado had been re-
ceiving numerous applications from its
former employees and others for work
at the scale offered by the company.
Today the information was given out
in Denver, from what was said to be
official sources, that Manager Eilers of
the Colorado smelter had been instruct
ed by the operating committee of the
trust to blow in" his furnaces as soon
as he could sign the proper number of
men on the eight-hour basis for the
work. 1t was further stated that Man
ager Ballou of the Bimetallic smelter
at Leadville had received similar in
structions. 1t was intimated that the
other, trust SmelterS would follow as
soon as practicable.
IL is claimed by those familiar with
the situation that the men are anxious
to go to work, and that they are will
ing TO waive the recognition of the
union as well as the slight differences
in the wage schedules offered and de-
manded. There is no question regard
ing the eight-hour shifts. which will be
conceded by the company, whether the
law is declared valid by the supreme
court or not. 1t is the general opinion
that as soon as some of the smelters
are opened, the employees will practi-
cally report for duty.

Rear Admiral Kautz refuses to be

In the lobby of the chamber of depu-

ALGER Is TO RETIRE.
Will Be Succeeded In Cabinet By
General Horace Porter.
Especial to The HeraId.) }

New York, June 21.-The Journal to-
day prints a special from Washington
emphasizing the statement that Alger' S
retirement from the cabinet is certain.
1t further says that Alger will be sue
ceeded by General Horace Porter, who
in turn will be succeeded as ambasSa-
dor to France by Whitelaw Reid.
It is regarded as positive that AL
ger will make a fight for the United
States senatorship from Michigan, not
withstanding that Senator Mcmillan is
candidate for reelection. Relations
between the two have been somewhat
strained since Mcmillan recently de-
clared himself, after, as Alger gas
stated, he had agreed to leave him, AL
ger, clear field.
Whitelaw Reid's appointment to the
French court viii probably not be op-
posed in the senate by Platt, his erst-
while deadly political enemy. 1t is be-
lieved that the president has received
assurances of this and the confirmation
will be unanimous.
