Referring to the probable future costs and
expenses necessary to secure final determine
ton of the case last above referred to. 1 desire
to state that II is impossible to estimate with
any degree Of accuracy the amount of such
costs and expenses, but it is safe to assume
that they will not fall below the amounts above
indicated.
In the matter OF fees OF expert. the amount
has been placed at $50, 900. This is believed to
be a conservative estimate of the amount nee
essary to the indispensable aid of those
who are skilled in the many and complicated
matters necessary to be examined in the prose-
cution of the defense. In communication ad-
dressed to the Board of Railroad Commission
the expense of experts at SIS. Co., and recon-
mended to the board that they ask for that
amount at the hands of the Legislature. Since
then, however, and upon consultation with spe-
cial counsel In the case, L am convinced tnat
the appropriation for expert fees should not
be less than the amount first above indicated.
In my opinion the employment of experts Is
defense, IN which opinion l am Joined by as
ISOLATE counsel.
Referring 70 the matter of attorneys fees.
I will state that the continued employment by
the Board of Railroad Commissioners of spe-
cial counsel heretofore, that is to say. three
in number. cannot well be done for less than
$50 000 in addition to the s31 $50 already paid or
incurred. 1t is not necessary, however, that
the entire $50. 600 should be appropriated at the
would suggest that a payment or S2ooo on &C
be continued in the case would be a proper
and appropriate course to pursue
The other items of probable future costs
above enumerated are clearly Indispensable and
are certainly conservative.
The amount of the last named items as also
the amount of attorneys fees Will depend in
small degree upon the length of time occu-
pied IN reaching a final determination OF the
case. So far, some three and one-half years
have been consumed since the commencement
of the suit Upon the conclusion OF the taking
of the testimony the will come up for trial
IN the United States Circuit Court, from which
an appeal lies to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals whence an appeal may DE
taken to the Supreme Court of the United
States. You will thus perceive the difficulties
attendant upon an attempt to comply with the
amount Of funds necessary to carry on said
litigation to final determination" Respect

DENVER, Colo, oct. 1S.-A special to the
Republican from Great Falls, Mont, says
Four men are known to be dead and prob
ably eight more in Teton county from the re-
cent storm. The dead are all sheep herders.
They are as follows
Norman Druice and one other, employed
by w. X. Flowerce; VIII Graham, working
for the Homer sheep company, and a man
named Ladd employed by Wallace Taylor.
Two herders named Mcintosh and Conley,
working for J. c. Quigley, are probably dead,
as they are missing, though their sheep have
been found.
Many parties are in the mountains, includ-
ing women, which have not been heard from.
They have tents and food, but may not es-
cape. They are William Coburn, Charles
Mcdonnell and their wives OF Dupier, now in
the Sunrise reservation and w. f. Falston
and four sons in Birch Creek canyon
The severity Of the storm may be judged
by the fac. that it took four horses four
days to bring in the body Of Will Graham

BRYAN'S KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN
Silver Champion Helps to Support the Goebel
Election Bill.
DENOUNCED EVEN BY THE DEMOCRATS
Infamous Measure Conceived for the
Purpose of Placing the Elections
in the Hands of Few Schem-
ing Politicians.

LINCOLN, Oct. S.-(Special) latest
political move of W. j. Bryan in endorsing
Candidate Goebel, the author Of the Ken
tucky force bill" is not generally under
stood in this section of the country, even
by the free silver champions supporters.
Bryan has been asked to explain why he
went to Kentucky to participate in fac
tional fight, but as yet he has not given
satisfactory answer
More than a month ago, when it became
known that Bryan intended to support Goe-
bel and his infamous election law. a num-
ber of prominent democrats and democratic
newspapers, among them the New York
Journal, suggested that such a course on his
part would bring about disastrous results
and place the state in the republican column
in 1900 with a good safe majority, it being
admitted that the Goebel law was not only
unfair. but in direct violation of the con-
stitution.
These warnings were not needed by Bryan
and the natural conclusion it that he is
more in favo' of the Goebel law than of the

VICTORIA, b. c., oct. 1S.--The steamer
Empress of India, which has reached here
from Japan, has completed the roughest trip
Of its fory-three voyages. The second day
out from Yokohama it encountered a typhoon
which smashed all telegraphic communi,a-
tion between the engine room and bridges

Fears are expressed by officers for the

hama for San Francisco eight hours before
the Empress and having immense upper
works would fare badly in gale.

Stead Breaks Loose Again.
w. T. Stead has issued a pamphlet on the
Boer was entitled: Are We in the Right;
An Appeal to All Honest Menu" 1t is "A
powerful indictment Of Chamberlain's di-
plomacy, bringing into the strongest relief
the persistent and provocative course fol-
lowed by him throughout the negotiations
with the patent object Of forcing war on the
Transyaal But the most sensational part
Of the pamphlet is Steads solemn declara-
ton that Rhodes informed him that Cham
berlain was privy to the jameson raid and
that the parliamentary inquiry into the
origin of that conspiracy was hushed up
because a point had been reached in the
investigation which il exceeded would i'm
plicate the colonial secretary directly in
the plot. DR.. Rutherford Harris, secretary
of the British South Africa company, Stead
says, was Rhodes Intermediary with Cham
berlain, and the latter after some hesitation
was finally roped into the conspiracy by a
cablegram from Rhodes, stating that un-
less facilities were given for the organiza-
tion of Jameson's force England would lose
South Africa.
In the House OF Commons today Philip
Stanhope referred to Stead's positive charges
as matters Chamberlain should not be al
lowed to ignore. Chamberlain speaks tomor-
row, when his answer to Stead is awaited
with the keenest interest So far the min
listers have been severely handled in the
commons debate, and there is a noticeable
change in the temper OF the mnlsteriallsts
from the arrogant aggressveness they dis
played at the opening Of Parliament.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.--(New York World Ca
blesram-Spocial Telegram )--Calling out
the militia indicates plainly that this gov
crnment considers it necessary to take
timely precautions against some foreign
complication which threatens to supervene
upon the Transvaal trouble. The effective
strength of the militia on last years lists
was 1O5,531 men, with 29,9Jl reserves.
The militia is only to be employed to take
the place in the home garrisons of line
regiments going to South Africa. The gov4
ernment has not thought it advisable, in
view Of the hostile feeling evoked in Ire
land by the attack of the Boer republic,
to reduce the Irish military establishment
below its normal strength OF 10000 men.
1t is intended TO set free the regular regi-
ments stationed in Ireland for war service
by substituting English militia battalions
in the Irish garrsons, the Irish militia being
sent for duty to England. The militia can
be sent on foreign service, but such a meas
ure was never contemplated, except in time

reached here on October 8 and left yes
terday for San Francisco.
The Tennesseeans, who form the extreme
guard OF the returning troops, are reported
as under orders to proceed direct from
NagasaN on account of the urgent need
Of transports for reinforcements now
Fastening TO Manila.
The departure of the Iowans ends one
OF the most remarkable features Of the
war, whether it be considered in the light
of the irreproachable conduct OF the great
army of Americans passing through or in
that OF the patriotic resolution OF the little
American community here which has in
every possible way administered to their
needs.
1t has been a gigantic task for the handful
of Americans here to feed an army OF Il, 900
to organize for them an extensive bureau
OF information, to guard them against i'm
position, to care for all the sick, even to the
extent of taking them into their homes, TO
furnish free baths, to provide delightful
headquarters and in every way to remind
them that they were among friends and
countrymen.
OF course the women OF the colony have
borne the brunt OF the work while the
men have furnished the means and that
most literally. All this has been done, too,
with national pride which would not per-
nit the acceptance of foreign aid, though
freely proffered. Seldom has such work
been better done, and it may be added sell
dom more freely appreciated and rewarded
The great army of returning Americans
has responded with an unsullied record
70 900 to the amazement Of all the foreigners
having proved themselves in every regard
an army Of lemen.

TRYING TO STOP RATE WAR
officials of Texns Lines Making
Efforts to Settle Fight on Pack
ing House Rates.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-General traffic off,
cials OF the Texas lines were in session
today considering rate matters in the ter
ritory between st. Louis and points in
Texas. The most important subject to be
considered is in regard to the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf taking hand in the fight
between Kansas City packers and the Bur-
'ington, because tha latter has reduced the
Omaha Kansas City differencial on packing
house products.
The Southwestern Traffic association lines
find they will have to meet the reduced
rates announced by the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf and may be compelled to make
corresponding reductions in packing house
product rates from St. Louis and other Mis-
sissppi river points.
AS this will seriously affect the revenues
of the roads, strenuous efforts are being
made to induce the Burlington and the Kan
sas City, Fort Scott G. Memphis to settle
tteir trouble regarding the Omaha Kansas
City differental.
The managers Of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf say they will restore rates
to Texas points as soon AS the Burlington
and Fort Scott & Memphis restore their
tariffs from Omaha and Kansas City tc
points in the southeast.
No decided action was taken at the meet
ing today.

SUIT TO RESTRAIN mARCONI
Larncd of Boston Claims to Hold
Patent on the Foreigners system
of wireless Telegraph.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Lyman c. Larned
OF Boston has brought suit in the United
States circuit court against Gugliemo Mar
conf to restrain him and his agents from
using the system OF wireless telegraphy,
which Larned claims is an infringement of
patent now controlled by him.
The plaintiff in his complaint alleges that
the original inventor OF this system OF tele-
graphing was Amos Emerson Dobear. 1t
was patented by him October 5, 1856, under
assignment to the Dolbear Electric Tele-
phone Company. These rights were trans
ferrei to Larned on July 22 last.
Larned alleges that the means described
in the patent. under which Marcon pur-
ports to carry on his system, cannot be
used for such work and are not adapted for
commercial use. Larned asks damages in
the sum OF 100000 and for an injunction
restraining Marconi from using the alleged
infringing system, pending the termination
OF the suit.

Seven Hundred Dollars.

MARYVILLE, Mo-, Oct. 1S-(Special Tel
egram.)-A new kind of buncoe game was
worked near Hopkins last night. Three
days ago Thomas Cox and Mark Car
michael offered to bet Calvin Cox, an old
and wealthy farmer, that he did not have
the nerve to take $1,000 from the bank and
keep it in his house all night. The young
men are respectively the son and son-in-
law OF Cox. The latter, to show his cour-
age, took the wager and went to get the
money The bank allowed him to take only
500. but with this in his pocket and a
large revolver in his belt he returned home.
This morning when he awakened the first
discovery he made was that the entire $500
was gone and further investigation revealed
the fact that his whole family, including
his wife, were missing. The officers were
notified and set out in pursuit, but when
last heard OF the fugiuves had crossed the
Missouri river into. Nebraska and were
forty miles ahead OF their pursuers.
