Indians We're not only Illegally hunting
game along the border, of Weston and
Converse counties. but Were also
slaughtering the cattle of the ranch
men. The reports. were so authentic
that the sheriff organized a posse of
men and started in search of the In
dams, meeting them on the Dry Fork
of the Cheyenne river
When the officers first reached the
Indian camp, the bucks We're out hunt

manded their surrender. Some of the
Indians We're willing to come in but
others were not; the latter saying that
they We're under Charles Smith, or
Eagle Feather his Sioux name.
Smith became defiant when the sher-
if told him the Indians We're violating
men enough to take TENN. He then or
dered his party to break camp. AS they
started the sheriff and his posse went
with them for some distance, urging
the surrender and to submit to the law.
Smith refused and the sheriff retired
and added five ranchmen to his party
The sheriff's party again overlook the

made on the Indians to halt and sur

when the Sioux opened fire, the officers

as soon as they saw that some of their
party was shot.

no question as to where the responsible
lily lies. The Indians were violating

duty The governor declared that he
would insist on thorough trial. if fol

TINPLATE, AND STEEL.
Amalgamation of the Two Great Com :
panies Is on Foot.

Pittsburg, Nov. 13.-Semi- official re-
ports of the conferences which were
held during the past week in Pittsburg
and New York by the officials of the
United States Steel Corporation and
the presidents Of the subsidiary COM
panies says the real purposes of these
conferences was the arranging of de-
tails for the amalgamation of the
American Tinplate Co and the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel Co., the removal of
the general offices of these companies
from New York to Pittsburg, and also
the removal of the Office of the Ameri-
can Bridge Co. from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg. All of these changes are
to take place in the near future.
The only company of the entire
group in the steel corporation which
will not be included in Pittsburg offices
when the present plans are completed
will be the Federal Steel Co., which will
be left in charge. The general offices
of the United States Steel Corporation
will remain in New York. as it is sim
ply a holding corporation and practi-
cally has nothing to do with the opera
ton Of the industrial establishments.

THE CABINET MEETING.
The Present Panama Situation Is Sat
isfactory to All.

Washington, Nov. 13.-At today's
cabinet meeting practically the one
subject under consideration was the
Panama situation which was discussed
briefly, particular attention being de-
voted to prospective Developments in
Congress. Both the President and the
members of the cabinet have taken I'D
the matter with members of the Senate
and the House with a view to a recon-
Citation of any securing of harmonious
action if possible, on the isthmian
canal question.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
the situation as it now presents itself,
is reasonably satisfactory to the Presi-
dent and his advisers. Several DAYS ago
formal inquiry was made by the war
department whether it would be neces-
sary, in any probable event, to send
troops to the isthmus. The reply was
that none would be needed. In fact.
officials of the administration deprecate
even a suggestion of such action, as
they state emphatically there is no
foundation for it.

A FAVORABLE REPORT
BY House Ways and Means Committee
on the Cuban Bill.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The House
committee on ways and means, today,
authorized favorable report on the bill
making effective the Cuban reciprocity
treaty by vote of IA to 3. Mr. Metcalf,
Rep., CALI was present but did not
vote and Messrs. Robertson Dem., La },

the bill.
The amendments were offered in COM
mittee, but both We're rejected by the
Republican vote. One offered, by MIR.
Cooper. extended the provisions of the
treaty to all other countries. The
other, offered by Mr.. Williams. the mi

entail duty on refined sugar. 1t devel-
oped that rule will likely be reported
from the committee on rules, Monday
requiring a vote on the treaty bill With
out opportunity for amendment, at
O'Clock, Thursday next.
The report says:

cause the constitution gives no power
to the President and the Senate to make
a convention or treaty changing the

This legislation will result in nc
harm to any American industry. Arti-

Cross, at Bangor.

Orono, Me, Nov. 13.-(SpeciaD.
University of Maine will go up against
Tartar Saturday afternoon. at Maple
wood park, Bangor, when she plays Holy
Cross-a team which is clearly recognized
as one Of the fastest in New England.
With the exception of the game against
Harvard. the University of Maine has
clean sheet and just what will happen at
the game, Saturday, is the question that
is agitating the minds of the supporters
of the blue.
Holy Cross will outweigh Maine 10 or
20 pounds to the man, and add to this
three of the fastest backs I'm the country
and an idea can be gained of Just the
kind of a proposition with which Maine
has got to deal.
The game will doubtless be one Of the
heaviest, hardest, fastest and most scien-
tific exhibitions Of football that has ever
been seen in Bangor.
