couraged and fortified by the open
advocacy of violence at the polls re-
ported in the daily prints by persons
prominent in political activity. The
interference with the voters indicated
in my information will be the blocking
of the polls by organized gangs int
mcdiately after the opening thereof
by forming in line ostensibly as voters
and applying for ballots under fic'
titious names, and after being reject.
ed to reform again in the rear OF
the lire"

open threat has been made that his
deputies will be assaulted if they at
tempt to do their duty.

states on Monday, except, possibly,
showers on the immediate middle At

for storm to develop somewhere in
this broad area by Tuesday, the con-
ditions are unusually favorable for

Victoria. b. c., Nov. 5.-The German
corvette Moewe, according to advices
from the South seas, has reached sgd
ney, and reports that she was called

and the Mocwe went to the scene. Ar.
irving off the village, landing party,
consisting of 100 Germans, put off un.

three casualties resulted, six of the
natives being shot down. Eventually
the expedition returned to the war
ship, which steamed close into the
beach, and shelled the village with de-
structive results.

Grandmother, Living with All
Three in Ms Many Weeks.

Cincinnati, Nov coroner Schwab

cession.
Mrs. Lindley was the aunt of Miss
Wade and the step-grandmother Of

the house of Mrs. Lindley, when it is
alleged whisky was administered by

wife, and they lived with Mrs. Lindley.
Blanks was - wears OF age, less than
half the age of Mrs. Lindley, who be-
came infatuated with him, sold her
farm last Monday and eloped with
Blanks to indianapolis. Last Thurs
day morning, Mrs. Lindley woke
up i'm indianapolis and found
that over one thousand dollars had
been taken from ner pillow, and

an official investigation here as to
cause serious charges, but the war
rants will not be issued until after

Boston, October %, which arrived here
yesterday morning, brought Is mem

cidcnt:

STILL RoBBING POOR 10.
ShOenfeId Against Unlawful
Action of waters.

Washington, Nov. 5.--Indian Agent
Shoenfeld in charge of Union agency,
whose jurisdiction comprises the five
civilized tribes, protests, in his annual
report against unlawful occupation
Of the Indian lands, and urges rigid
congressional legislation TO protect
the Indian citizen against the en-
croachment of aggressive and grasp
ing whites. Of 1000 complaints filed
against non-citizens by Indians in the
past fiscal year large majority were
against white men who in the past
had intruded themselves upon the In
dians, and had gained their confidence
to large degree TO secure possession
of their prospective allotments, and
after having secured possession re-
fused either to pay rent or vacate,
thus preventing the Indians from re-
ceiving any rents or profits there
from. Many of the Indians are too
poor to institute suit for possession,
and, therefore, are left helpless
The total population of the five
civilized tribes is estimated at S4.7jO,
comprising 20,25O Choctaws and freed
men, 10000 Chickasaws and freedmen,
10000 Creeks and freedmen, $4,000
Cherokees and freedmen, and 5000
Seminoles, and their lands comprise
total of 19,776,2S6 acres.
The Ggent says that there is now
every reason to believe that the In
dian dcpredations and disturbances in
the five tribes region are at an end.
y few full-blooded Creeks are siren
uously opposing the allotment of
lands and have banded together and
refuse to appear to select their ail,.-
mcntS. 4 large majority of the
Greeks, however, have made selec-
tons. The report recommends that
congress appropriate out of the Cher
okce funds a sufficient amount to pay
the Indebtedness of the nation; that
n law be passed compelling the five
tribes 10 adopt n uniform system of
taxing ncn-citiZens residing and do
ing business in the limits of their ma
ton, and that a workhousc or reform
atory be established.
