Enterprise, Kas., Jan. 26.-The next
day after wrecking the first saloon
here, Mrs. Nation, accompanied by
Mrs. c. b. Hoffman and quite num-
Der of women, started for the other
joint again. The party was met by a
crowd of women headed by Mrs.
Schilling. wife of the owner of the
wrecked joint, when a rough and
tumble fight occurred, in which Mrs
Schilling used horse whip. The
scrimmage ended leaving a pile OF
women in the gutter. Warrants and
arrests on both sides speedily followed,
but, later, all were withdrawn. Mrs.
Nation then left here for Hope, a small

CONTRADICTORY ADWCES.
Early Reports Apparently Consid-
erabIy 0verdrawn.
GOVERNOR BARNES READY,

Muskogee, |. T., Jan. 2s.-The Creek
uprising continues dangerous Mar
shall Bennett has captured the 1'7-year-
old son of Chief Snake and will hold
the boy as hostage until the Indians
surrender. The Indians have so far
refused to surrender and are holding
councils near Bristow and Rush Hill,
l. I. Bristow reports that the attack
on that town had not begun, but that
the citizens were arming themselves
for an emergency. Marshall Bennett
expresses fear of bloodshed. He re-
turned from Eufala after visit at the
home of Chief Snake. Mounted In
dams had been picketed around to
protect their chief, or to give warning
of an attack. Snake was not to be
found and Bennett left word for him
to come to Muskogee or Eufala for
conference.
Guthrie, Okla, Jan. Ex-Governor
Barnes ordered military company
each at Chandler and Shawnee, Okla,
to be in readiness to start at any
moment for the Indian territory line.
Adj. Gen. Orner got the necessary sup
plies for the troops ready for shipment.
Three thousand rounds Of am
munition were provided for each
company. Governor Barnes received
many messages from Stroud and
Chaudler, asking that militia be sent
at once. There is apparently little
fear of the Indians, but there is danger
that outlaws who infest the Creek
country will raid banks and stores in
oklahoma under the guise of Indians.
Governor Barnes will not send the
troops unless the situation becomes
more threatening.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. 2S-General Lee
stated that no orders had been issued
for the movement of any other troops,
and none would be unless it should
become apparent that they were need
ed. He said that six troops of cavalry
and several companies of infantry were
available for the service.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY MEN
Propose to RevoIutionize the Smelt-
ing Of Low Grade Ore.
AFFECTS LOW GRADE ORES.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2s.-Charles
Z. Finney, manager Of M. Guggenheims
Sons, of New York, the shelters, Chas.
S. Gleed, of Topeka, director of the
Santa Fe railroad, and Lucien V. Blake
head of the electrical department, OF
the University of Kansas, met here and
discussed proposition that may pro-
duce most important results to some
smelters and owners of mines and
precious metals.
Professor Blake has been experiment
ing for some time on an electrical pro-
cess by which metal may be obtained
from ore cheaper than by any process
now in use; particularly for separating
the metal OF low grade ore. and in
this way increasing the value OF low
grade ore.
The consolidation Of M. Guggenheim's
smelters to form new smelling and
mining company has been practically
arranged. and Mr.. Finney and the
heads of the only two large smelling
companies of the country will meet
February Is, and complete the CONSOLE
dation. The entire smelling business
Of this country and Mexico will then
with the exception of few small
plants, be controlled by one great COM
bination.
Mr.. Finney was asked whether the
combination of the Guggenheims would
reduce the price of ore. He said:
"There will be no increase in the
price of metals and will tell you why.
Even though the trust should control
prices, it could not afford to raise
the price of metals higher than that
which would bring fair profit, be-
cause as soon as that was done score
of smaller smelters would start up, and
they wovld do business too. They
could make fair profit at lower prices
than the trust.

in council that it is expected that all

CHINESE DELIVER AGREEMENT.
Emperor Kwang su WIN Start for PekIn
After February 2e.

After February 22.
Peking, Jan. 26.-The agreement
was delivered by the Chinese plenipo-
tentiaries, thus relieving the anxiety
of the foreign ENJOYS, who had begun
to fear that, in spite of the promises
made, something might occur to pre-
vent delivery.
There is general feeling of salts
faction among the foreigners and SOL
diers. Most of the latter look anxious
ly forward to leaving China this year.
Although no orders have been received,
the Australians expect to be the first
British troops to go, presumably as
soon as the river opens, which is usual
ly during the first week of March.
Judging from various opinions, there
is little likelihood that the foreign en-
voys will reach an agreement to sending
favorable reply to the questions OF the
Chinese plenipotentiaries. A majority
are in favor of carrying out to the
strictest letter the terms Of the agree
ment.
Friends of Emperor Kwang Su have
informed M. de Giers that the emperor
desires to return as speedily as possible
to the capital and will do so as soon as
he is assured that the foreign troops
will leave. His majesty would like to
start for Pel1in Immediately after Feb
ruary 90, when the Chinese new year
begins. The journey will probably
take six weeks.
