Quay Says Cleveland Cannot

BLAISE'S CHANCES IN 1802.
A Dttrmiid Fight Between tat Fr
GoIdm sad Anti-8ilTr Mil
Tbs PrM'dta.'i Attitid.
New York, Feb. 7. A Wash
ington special gives an interview
with Quay, in which he says in
answer to an inqnirv :
"I believe thai Hill's election to
the senate, if it occurs, secures to
Cleveland the presidential nomin
ation, as it is alleged it will do. It
is the best thing that could have
happened for the republicans. It
is plain that Hill could carry New
York, and that Cleveland would
lose the etate without any doubt.
Thus it tends to simplify the case
very much."
Quay refused to say whom he
thought the republicans would
nominate, but thought that if
Blaine cared to run, and received
the nomination, Pennsylvania
wculd undoubtedly be for him.
THE SILVER CAMPAIGN.
The Silver Men Determined to Pass
a Fraa Coinage Bill.
Washing! on, Feb. 7. In the
house to-day Townsend, of Colo
rado offered for reference a resolu
tion amending the rules of the
house so as to provide that when
four members of any committee
shall make a statement in writing
that after five hearings on sny bill
(other than the revenue or appro
priation bills) the committee re
fuses to make any report, favor
able or unfavorable, it shall be in
order to move to discharge the
c mjiittee.
The Star says: It is threatened
ly the republicans of the house
that if the senate attaches the free
coinage amendment to any appro
priation bill, they wili amend
it by putting on the force bill as a
rider. If this is done, and the bill
is sent to the president, it is said
he would probably sign the con
glomerate bill, taking free coinage
rather than veto the appropria
tion bill and the force bill. This
may deter the democrats from en
tering upon a plan of putting free
coinage on the appropriation bill.
rJince the defeat of the attempt to
have a free coinage amendment
attached as a "rider" to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, the
silver men have been busy devis
ing another scheme, by means of
which to compel a vote by the
house on the question of free
coinage. The vote yesterday was
not regarded by them as a fair test
of their strength for the reason
that it was complicated with ques
tions of parliamentary practice, on
which they did not regard tneii
position as strongly fortified, and
they were therefore anxious to
bring the matter up in some new
form.
Townsend's resolution, offered
to-day, was the first effort in the
new plan of the campaign. The
opponents of the free coinage bill
will resort to every available
means to secure the attendance of
absentees known to be opposed to
free silver coinage.
WESTERN RAILROADS.
Genld and Huntlagton Propose to
Remedy Existing Evils.
New York, Feb. 7. It is an
open secret that Gould and Hunt
ington have had their lieutenants
prepare an exhaustive analysis of
capitalization, indebtedness, earn
ings, and mileage of the Missouri
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Atchi
son systems, with a view of de
termining from them the basis
npon winch the systems may be
consolidated or brought under the
control of a sin pie operating com
pany. The executive officers of
the Southern Pacific have been
summoned from San Francisco to
take part in the work, and it is
trustworthily stated that Senator
Stanford has given his support to
the scheme. As yet none of the
three interests is 'positively com
mitted to the proposition, but all
have it up with a degree of
earnestness that argues strongly
in favor .of its adoption. Those
who have the confidence of the
leaders in this movement are of
the opinion that should it succeed
it will not stop short of the absorp
tion of the Texas Pacific, Union
Pacific, A'abash, and probably the
Missouri, Kausas A Texas.

Hump said about 300 of his peo
ple had been killed, and there
should be' some consideration
shown the survivors. He wanted
the rations increased.
Hollow Horn, Bear and Medi
cine Bull talked briefly, and then
Secretary Noble spoke to the In
dians. He said :
"The Indians must not be dis
couraged. Ihey will be supported
as long as they endeavor to do
well. There are two sides to the
question of what is due from the
Indians, i Up to 1884 the Sioux
have been given $42,000,000 by the
government. The government ac
knowledges its treaties and agree
ments with the Sioux. Since '84
when this money was paid, there
has been, much more money paid
according to the treatv. It was a
mere accident that $100,000 should
have been cot off of the Sioux ap
propriation immediately after the
agreement with General Crook.
It would have Leen the same if
there had been no agreement.
These things should convince the
Sioux tha( the government has
been trying to do what was right
for the Indiana." In conclusion
Secretary -Noble advised the In
dians to think over tne many
things theTgovernment-tiad done
for them ; to look at the promises
make by General Crook and have
confidence in what he said. The
secretary, said he wanted the In'
dians to make up their minds to
do the best they conld to eJucate,
or to have educated, their chil
dren, and never to let their young
men dream that they could ever
set anything by force from the
United States.

GHOST OF THE CONFEDERACY
Tha Revival of aa Old Story De
nounced by General Miles.
Chicago, Feb. 7. In the
memoirs of Jefferson Davis, re
cently published by his widow,
many pages are devoted to the de
scription of "Tortures of Fortress
Monroe," of which district General
8 1891
Miles whs in command at the
timeDavis was imprisoned there.
Mrs. Davis charges General Miles
with cruelty to the president of
the confederacy. He is charged
with - shackling Mr. Davis by
brutal force, keeping him in a
vermin-infested cell, withholding
his clothes and linen and making
souvenirs of his possessions, eyen
to his hair.
General Miles was interviewed
to-day in regard to the matter.
He said he did not mind the at
tack. "I would call your atten
tion to the fact that Jefferson
Davis managed to survive my
cruel treatment, and li .ed 20 years
after, finally dying of old age.
That would hardly have been the
case, I think, if he had been sub:
ieeted to such horrible abuse.
There is not a particle of truth in
statements made by his wife."

IIDI1I MEDICAL LOBE.
The Fraotiees of the -'Mediemt Mb."
of Oir Nstirt St. (t,
Specil Oorrwponds-.ce, Copyrighted.
Portland, Feb. 7. Without ex
ception, all the various tribes of
American Indians have their
medicine men and women, for the
women are doctors as well as the
men. They first secure, and then
retain their influence with, and
over the untutored children of the
forests throueh the most transpar
ent form of savage superstitions.
When an Indian is fired by the de
sire to become a medicine man
before his ambition i gratified he
is compelled to so throiiKh a reiru
lar course of training, in which lie
is ptfnishedand tortured in various
ways in order to test his power of
endurance, lie muuiates iiimseu
on the arms and chest with a knife
made of hard flint rock, until he is
covered wi cb blood, then he is re
quired togo without anything to
eat for a number of days. Then,
when he is in the requisite condi
tion of physical exhaustion, he as
cends a high mountain. There he
remains for ten nights in close
communion with nature. Here,
all alone, he falls into a kind of
trance, and then it is that he re
ceives his medicine or "temani
mos" from the spirits. Just as
Hoses of old received the decalogue .
amid the thunders of Sinai, so the
Indian doctor eets his diploma
through the bowling of the wolf,
the barking of the cayote, the
screaming of the panther, the
booting of the owl, the flash ot the
lightning and the rumbling of the
thunder storm.
The Indian in Oregon, as well
as elsewhere, believes in ghosts,
and sees in the solitude of nature
spectres and apparitions that he
does not understand, which fill
him with superstitious fear. The
sighing of the winds, the cry of
the night-hawk, the howl of the
fox. are believed to be the voices
of the spirit word by the Indians.
After passing ten nights in the
mountains and bathing himself
in a lake of water once a day for
ten days (a thing which I venture
to say no native Indian ever does
at any other period of hisexistence)
he returns to the wigwam, fresh
from ths spirits, a fall-fledged dec-
tor. Like tne modern quack,
practice his profession, he arrays
himself in a style likely toimpress
the public. He puts on his suit
of skins, sea-shells, woodpecker
heads, bear and eagle caws, he
daubs his face with various shades
of red paint, he adorns his bead
with a dress et bnghtlv-painted
feathers to distinguish him from
above the common herd.
He commences treatment with a
prayer to the great spirit that his
patient may recover. By the
authority vested in him as "medi
cine man," he calls to his aid a
number of persons to help in the
process of driving out the evil
spirits from the inside . of the
sick. This is done by singing,
dancing, howling, beating on the
tom-tem and making all sorts of
the most hideous noises to keep
off the bad spirits and encourage
the good ones. For my own part
having witnessed a number of
these incantations, I am free to
confess that if I were a member of
any company of good spirits that
happened to be laying around
loose, such a combination of un
harmonioua sounds would surely
have the effect of driving me
away. While this is going on,
the patient is compelled to confess
to the doctor all the sins of his
st IifesfTf he is a married man
ahd hasroeen untrue to his spouse
Lkmast confess; if it be a woman,
and she has been unfaithful, si e
also must confess all her sins, or
the child must die. When these
requirements have been complied
with, the doctor has. or claims to
have, the power to penetrate with
his vision completely into the
patient's body. He sees the pain
and takes it out by sucking with
his mouth and growling like a dog.
When the pain comes out, the
doctor falls back in great ecstacy,
kicks up his heels, rolls over him
self a number of times back
ward, glides immediately into a
swoon, and when he recovers takes
the pain from his mouth, shows it
to the people, saying, "look at it.
see, it is two or three inches long."
rhia pain, however, is generally a
small worm or a little string of
coagulated blood, that the wily
doctor palms off on his credulous
patient as the cause of all his ail
ments. If the nati vehealer fails to secure
control of the pain in this way, he
pounds, beats, and tramps with
bis feet, until the latter is one
mass of quivering bruises. Fre
quently the suffering patient is
killed outright by this very sure
"kill or cure," method. When
the doctor fails to cure and the
patient dies, the former is killed.
and it is said that his spirit is
destined to linger just outside the
borders of the Indian's e te trail v
happv huntinir grounds." This
sort of fate is awarded the unsuc
cessful "medicine man," as a
gentle reminder, that it is his
business to cure people, not to
kill them.
The Indian has no knowledge of
constitutional disease. He has
neither the science nor the learning
of the modem school of medicine.
lie is a relic of barbaric days.
His ultimate destiny, iike that of
the race, will be either amalgama
tion or oblivion; mof-t likely the
latter.
