MOJAVES ARE ANGRY


Needles Cal, July n.-since the clos
ing of the term of sehoo1slast week at
Fort Moiave. there has been much
trouble between the Indians and the
superintendent, Major J. ]. McKoin
1t seems that the parents of the In
dian scholars think the children should
be permitted to come home at the close
of the school term, but Major McKoin
insists that they shall remain at work
on the school farm.
A dispatch was sent at the instance
of the Indians last week to President
Mckinley, saying if the scholars were
not allowed to come home the "Mojaves
win make trouble"
A few days later the Indian boys ran
away from the fort and superintendent
McKoin. with his deputies, has been
trying to capture them and take them
back.
Saturday Major McKoin and a deputy
went to a camp on the Arizona side of
the Colorado, three miles from Needles,
to take boy, and were set upon by the
squaws. Several bucks came to the
squaws' aid and the officials were over
come and terribly beaten.
On Sunday three bucks and one
squaw were captured by Constable
Burt of Needles and later taken to
Kingman for trial. While in Jail here
the building was continually surround
ed by Mojaves, who acted in threat
ening manner.
Hundreds are still hanging about the
town, and it is feared that trouble of a
serious nature may occur before the
Indian scholars are returned to the
fo-t.

element can be managed very we'll.
The most serious thing we have to con-
slider IS typhoid fever. There are num-

BROWN ON HAWAII.
Associate Chief Justice Talks of I'm
perialism.

San Francisco, July 11.-At a recep-
ton rendered M. NJ. Estee. chief JUS
tice of Hawaii, prior to his departure
for Honolulu to assume his duties, AS
sociate Justice Brown of the United
States supreme court, who was one of
the speakers, said:
LAS to Hawaii, whatever may be said
of imperialism and the questions that
have recently arisen, L have always
hoped that Hawaii would be territory
of the United States.
''It is just and right that the land
civilized by us and populated and de-
veloped by our people should be under
our flag 1t is right that there should
be free trade between us and them,
to the great advantage of both coun-
tries.
Il had occasion to make the observa-
ton to the chief justice some time ago
that it would benny greatest pleasure
some day to write an opinion upon
appeal from the supreme court of Ha-
wall. And if in the future, regardless
of talk of imperialism, the opportunity
arises whereby L shall be called upon
to write opinions on causes carried up
from the courts of Porto Rico and the
Philippines, l shall be ready to retire
from the bench"

ENGINE ROPE BREAKS.
Havoc at Utah Light & Power Com
pany's Plant

The Utah Light &c Power company
plant back of the Atlas block was in
great danger for a few moments last
night. One of the big engines. the larg-
est in the place was for a few moments
tied up with a rope so that had it not
been for the quick work of the night
engineer, a brave young man who re-
fused to give his name. much damage
might have been sustained.
The large engine which is in the
south part of the building had not been
cunning for several days, 1t is used to
run the dynamo which furnishes cleo
tricity for the street cars. 1t was.
however, started up last night, and it
had not been running long before the
rope which connects the tWentyfoot
drive wheel and the shaft wheel, some
thirty feet away, broke. For few sec
onds pandemOnium reigned. The rope
is wound about these wheels in twenty
seven coils. and is about a half mile
long.
Rope flew in all directions. 1t wound
itself about the drive wheel and about
the shaft wheel It struck the ceiling
and the floor. Part of it hit the dynamo
and tore off two of the brushes from
it. That caused a great disturbance of
the electricity, and great lights shot up
into the sky till persons outside who
saw it thought that a fire and eX-
plosion had occurred.
The fireman was standing in the door
which leads to the furnace room when
the first break occurred. He darted
back to the furnaces. When the night
engineer saw what had happened he
rushed in amid the flying and swirling
rope and shut off the steam. Then the
big wheel which was bound uD-with
rope came to a very quick stop. There
was not q great deal of damage done,
and it will not interfere with the run
ming of the plant

Chicago, July 11.--William a. Paul
sen, former president of the failed
Central Trust and Savings bank, ad-
mitted on cross-eXaminatiOn juggling
the accounts and cash to pass the eX-
animation by the bank auditor. Paul
sen is on trial in Judge Brentano's court
charged with receiving a deposit OF $ZO9
after his bank had become insolvent.
An extract from the minutes of the
bank directors meeting held Dec. 10,
1895 shows that Paulsen deposited to
the credit of w. A. Paulsen, special, a
draft on a London, England, bank to
the amount of $SS, 600, which he carried
on his bank books as cash until JAN
81, 1896, when it was entered on the
books as returned unpaid. Paulsen adj
mitted that the draft was never really
deposited nor sent to London.
The witness admitted that the origi-
nal stock of $1,000 was mostly paid
from the assets of two old banking
concerns, the Western Trust and Saw
ings bank and the Bank OF Paulsen &
Paree. and that when the bank was
visited by the auditor, $780, 900 was
brought to his bank in cash and eXhib
tied to the auditor and returned to the
other banks after the departure of the
auditor.
Paulsen also admitted that three
notes carried as assets and amounting
to $4,000 were those of irresponsible
clerks in his employ, and of the $780,
900 bills receivable all but $48000 were
held as collateral for debts of the bank

China BIanfes
che PowerS

Washington, July 11.-Wu Ting Fang
the Chinese minister to this country,
this morning delivered to Secretary
Hay a copy of a cablegram received
by him purporting to be from the Chi
nese imperial government disclaiming
responsibility on the part of the i'm
perial government for the Boxer trou-
bles asserting that the engagement at
Tien Tsin was the direct result of the
bombardment of the Taku forts by the
foreigners, and declaring that the di-
plomats were protected.
Admiral KemDff has scored another
credit through the statement. as the
bombardment of the forts at Taku was
done over his protest and without his
participation.
The imperial decree is dated Bird day
of 9Th moon, and was received by tele-
graph today by Minister WI from the
Taotai of Shanghai, transmitted on
July / from the treasurer of the Chin
Ii province, who received it by special
courier on June 30 from the board Of
war, who in turn received it from the
pfivy council in Pel1in.
The decree is as follows:
"The circumstances which led to the
commencement of fighting between
Chinese and foreigners were of such
complex, confusing and unfortunate
character as to be entirely unexpected.
Our diplomatic representatives
abroad, owing to their distance from
the scene of action, have had no means
of knowing the true state of things,
and accordingly cannot lay the views
of the government before the minis
tiers for foreign affairs Of the respect.

fact that the worst that could be an

The edict contains the following para
graph:

soldiers come to our country to lay
waste to il and slay our people"

intended to pave the way for final

WRECK A GOLD TRAIN

Philadelphia, July 11.-According to
officials of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, deliberate attempt to wreck
the Washington express came near be-
ing successful early today at Folsom, a
short distance outside of this city. The
train was said to he bearing $S,O00,000
in gold to the sub treasury in New
York, although this is denied by the
express company officials.
The train. which consisted of two
sleepers, two day coaches and three
baggage cars, left Washington at n:SO
last night. 1t was due here at $40
this morning. An open switch at Fol-
som overturned the engine and derailed
the three baggage cars, but no one
was injured.
Examination disclosed the fact that
the switch had been tempered with.
The railroad officials have placed de
tectives on the case and have offered
q reward of $500 for the arrest or con-
yiction of those tampering with the
switch.
General Agent Rust of the United
States Express company stated that
Notwithstanding reports to the con-
trary, there was no gold bullion be-
longing to the government on the train,
and that the money that was being
carried came in the ordinary course of
business. This, he said was all in dy-
namite-proof safes The loss to the
express company will be trifling.
