Financial Trouble Not Over - Utes
Still Want Fight Landslide Wipes
Out Town.
The financial situation in this coun-
try has continued to get better, but
there is still danger that there will
be serious trouble Several things
have been suggested as cures, and
there is movement to have the Pres
ident call a special session of Con-
gress to pass laws which will relieve
the banks, but this is not expected TO
happen. It is believed that the spec
ulators who caused the recent panic
by their operations with banks will not
try the same tricks soon again, be-
caused of the opposition they aroused.
but it is feared that when the trou-
BILE has blown over they will be back
at the same work. For this reason it
/ is expected that the associations Of
banks viii make rules which will make
speculation by bankers much more
difficult, so that there will be less
chance for profit by such men.
The fact that many of the biggest
business concerns in the country have
been sued by the government, has
had something to do with the panic.
because people have not known which
concern was safe, and the President
has been blamed by some men for al
lowing the suits The better business
men, however, know that he is not
responsible for the trouble, but that
the men who broke the laws. and thus
made such suits necessary, are really
the men to be condemned.
The danger of trouble with the Ute
Indians In the west grew greater. and
there were grave fears that there
would be a fight soon. An army offic-
er who was sent out there reported
that the Indians had not been well
treated, and it is probable that some
thing will be done which will satisfy
them. Navajo Indians also made
trouble, a small baud taking to the
woods as desperadoes. They were
chased by troops and three of them
killed in battle. Nine others were
taken captive.
Raymond Hitchcock, well known
actor, who was accused Of several SER
ious crimes, disappeared from New
York. His enemies say that he feared

A strike of 100000 employees of the
railroads in England is almost certain
to be called within a few weeks, and
it will probably stop all business in
that country, and II it lasts long 1t

go up, and many people may almost
starve to death, for England does not
raise enough to live on, and has TO
have great quantities shipped in and
carried around the country by the
railroads.
II was believed in New York that
the big sailing ship Arthur Sewall,
which has not been heard OF for

that her crew had been eaten by
