Cowboys As Bull Fighters.
Deadwood, S. D.,.Dec. 17. To ...raise
funds with which' to build a Methodist
chapel for the worshipers of Ziebach,
Nowlin and Sterling counties, in South
Dakaota, the cowboys in that region
will take part in a bull fight on a date
to be fixed in the coming month. A
number of steers have already been se
lected to play the star roles. The an
imals will not be tortured, it having
been arranged that the fighters shall
be armed only with their .quirts; and
fire arms will be used only in case
of necessity. As the men will be
mounted, it is unlikely that any such
occasion will arise, and the steers will
probably enjoy the performance quite
as much as the cowboys. When an
animal has been in the ring a sufficient
length of time it will be lassooed and
dragged aside and another brought
into take its place. A large attend
ance is promised from neighboring
towns.

New Yoek, Dec. 13. A dispatch to
the Herald from Porto Rico says:
J'Great excitement has been caused
here among all classes by the discovery
of a conspiracy to overthrow the Span
ish rule on this island. Many persons,
who form a branch of the Marti Rev
olutionary Club, -of New York, have
been arrested and are in prison at San
Juan awaiting trial.
"The present affair is the outcome of
the threatened resolution of a year
ago, when General Gamir, the Spanish
governor-general, attempted to demon
etize Mexican money, which is the
principal currency of the island.
"A secret order was then formed,
and eaih member swore to fight for
the independence of Porto Rico. One
of the lately initiated members be
trayed the scheme to the government,
and General Gamir ordered the arrest
of the leaders. On the way from Ar-
rayo to San Juan with the prisoners,
the guards were attacked, but they
succeeded in placing their prisoners
in prison. The governor-general has
cabled to Spain for rcore troops."
THE HOUSE COMMITTEES,
Speaker Reed Now at Work on Their Or
ganization.
Washington, Dee. 13. Speaker
Reed did not appear at the capitol to
day. It was announced that he re
mained at the hotel to work on the com
mittees. The impression grows daily
that Dingleyof Maine will be chairman
of the ways and means committee, in
stead of Payne of New York, who ten
day9 a0 was supposed to he booked
for the leadership of the majority on
the floor. For the chairmanship of the
appropriations committee the contest
lies between General Henderson of
Iowa, the present ranking member, and
Cannon of Illinois, who would have
been the ranking member had he not
failed of election to the 52d congress.
The rivers and harbors chairmanship
is supposed to lie between Hermann of
ipregpn,ajad looker fcf, New. York. ..,
The chairmanships of the following
committees seem almost certain:
Foreign affairs, Hitt of Illinois.
Judiciary, Stone of Pennsylvania.
Pacific railway, Powers of Vermont.
Banking and ' currency, Walker of
Mississippi.
Interstate commerce, Hepburn

INGALLS OF THURMAN.
His Ability, as His Integrity, Was Unques
tioned.
Chicago, Dec. 13. Ex-Senator In
galls is stopping at the Victoria. Of
Judge Thurman's death he said:
I served in the senate with Mr.
Thurman from 1S73 to 1881. He was
the acknowledged leader of his party
in that body, and, while his Democracy
was pure and undefined, he was not a
bigot, and his relations with his Re
publican associates were those of
hearty and -cordial good fellowship.
His courtesy was inherent and not ac
quire 3. His temper was genial, and
his good humor unruffled.- Having ser
ved on the bench, his inclination was
judicial, and his. authority upon ques
tions of constitutional law was not
questioned."
Delos P, Phelps, assistant United
States treasurer, said;
He was one of the landmarks that
connected this with the past genera
tion. No man living occupied a higher
position in the democratic party. His
ability has long been recognized by
men of all parties. He was a lawyer
of remarkable ability, and a statesman
who ranked among the highest. His
integrity was as unquestioned as his
ability."
DEMOCRATIC 'CONTENTION.
Chairman Harrity Has Issued a Call for
tbe Committee Meeting.
Philadelphia, Dec. 13. W. F.
Harrity,' chairman of the democratic
national committee, this afternoon re
quested the secretary of the committee
to notify member thereof to assemble
in Washington January 16 next, for
the purpose of selecting the time and
place for holding the next democratic
national convention.
Mr.. Harrity has received letters from.
commercial bodies in 50 cities urging
the national cotnmitte to select a late
date for the convention. Business
people contend that a long campaign
unsettles trade, and tbey, therefore
want the political battle made as short
as possible. It is believed a date no
later than the middle of - July will be
selected. The committee is to meet at
Arlington hotel in Washington at 11
A.M.
A Cold Wave.
New York, Dec. 13. Extreme cold
prevails throughout tbe Eastern states
today. . At 8 o'clock the temperature
in this city Was 16 above zero. Sara
toga, Syracuse and Watertown, N. Y.,

thermometer indicated 12 degrees be
low. Graveroboers In Albany.
Albany, Or., Dec, 13. About 4
o'clock this morning two men were
seen driving to the Baltimore block in
this city. They acted mysteriously
and unloaded and secreted in a closet
a bulky bundle. The police waited,
until the men had gone, and on- inves
tigation, found the bundle secreted in
the closet contained the body of a man
somewhat decomposed, wrapped in cof
fee sacks. The body is thought to he
that of a pauper who diel a week ago.
Late tonight Adrienne Comely and
William Westfall, who unloaded the
bundle, were arrested on the charge of
graverobbing. Their object is sup
posed to have been to sell the body.
Deep Sorrow at Columbus.
Columbus, O., Dec. 13 The death of
Allen G. Thurman has caused profound
sorrow among the citzens generally,
who are preparing to honor his mem
ory. The supreme court of the state
has adjourned until Tuesday, and the
court of common pleas until Monday.
Flags on all public buildings, national,
state, and city, have been placed at
half-mast. i
Gale on the Atlantic Coast.
Philadelphia, Dec. 13. A gale

hour and increasing in force is report
ed along the coast fromSandy Hook to
Cape Henry. Although a heavy blow

ported.
A Chinese Murderer Hanged.
FOLSOM, Cal., Dec. 13. The first
execution in the state prison at Re
prisal took place at 10 o'clock this
morning. The murderer who died at
the end of a rope was Chin Hane, the
notorious highbinder who murdered
Lee Gong, a cigar merchant of Sacra
mento.
CARLISLE ANNUAL REPORT.
Receipts and Expenses of the Government
For the Past Tear.
Washington, Dec. 16, Secretary
Carlisle's annual report of the state of
the finances was sent to congress to
day. It shows that the revenues of
the government from all sources dur
ing the last fiscal year amounted to
f330,373,203. The expenditures dur
Ing the same period aggregated $433,
178,826, leaving a deficit for the year
of $42,805,293. He says there is no
reason to doubt' the ability of the gov
ernment to discharge all of its curreny
obligations during the present fiscal
year and Taave a largo cash balance at
its close without imposing additional
taxation in any form upon the people,
but adhere to the the opinion here
tofore expressed that the secretary of
the treasury ought always to have au
thority to issue and sell or use in pay
ment of expenses, short-time bonds
bearing a low rate of interest to supply
cusual deficiencies in the revenues."
The secretary estimated that there
will be a surplus ot nearly $7,00u,000
during the fiscal year of 1897.
GREENBACKS AND TREASURY NOTES
There is but one safe and effectual
way, he says, to protect the treasury
against gold withdrawals, and that is
retire and cancel the notes, which con
stltute'the'" Only means through which
withdrawals can be made. ' -
"This can be most successfully and
economically accomplished by author
izing the secretary, to issue from time
to time bonds payable in gold, bearing
interest at a rate not exceeding 3 per
cent per. annum, and having a long
time to run, and to exchange such
bonds for the United States notes and
treasury notes upon such terms as may
be most advantageous to the govern
ment, or to sell them abroad for gold
whenever in his judgement it is ad
visable to do so, and to use the 'gold
thus obtained in redeeming outstand
ing notes.- Under the operation in
such a plan, if judiciously executed,
there could be no' proper contraction
of the circulation, because if it should
at any time be found that other forms
of currency were not being supplied to
the extent required, exchanges of
bonds for notes would be suspended
and gold would be procured by selling
83curities abroad." . .
"In order to further facilitate substi
tutions of other currency for the re
tirement of legal tender notes, na
tional banks should be authorized to
issue notes equal in amount to the face
value of bonds deposited to secure
them, and the tax on their circulation
should be reduced to one-fourth of one
per cent per annum. As a part of the
plan for the retirement and cancella
tion of legal tender notes, the treasury
should be relieved from the responsi
bility for the redemption of national
bank notes, except worn, mutilated
aud defiled 'notes, and ' notes of
failed banks, and each association
should be required to redeem its cir
culation, or if this is not considered ex
pedient and the present system of cur
rency redemption by the treasury is
continued, tbe secretary should have
power to require banks to keep their
5 per cent redemption fund in gold
coin and to deposit gold coin for the
withdrawals of bonds whenever their
circulation is to be permanently but;
rendered or reduced."
SILVER COINS AND CERTIFICATES.'
The secretary also favors the passage
of a law allowing national banks to es
tablish branches in small towns with a
view to bringiug them closer - to'; the
people.
The secretary in closing his report
says that it is not probable that any
nlan for the permanent retirement of
United States notes and treasury notes
will be adopted that will not require
considerable time for its complete exe
cution, and be therefore urges upon con
gress the propriety of prohibiting any
further issue of such notes of national
banks, that is notes oi less denomi
nation than $10, thus making room in
circulation for silver coins and silver
certificates of small denominations,
This, he saya, would increase their use

Thomas S. Nowell, elected delegate
from Alaska to congress, last summer
came down fron Alaska with Stevenson
from his northern tour, and in a recent
letter to the Alaskan Mining Record
from Boston, Nowell says:
"I find the sentiment of the people
in regard to the boundary lines of the
territory between British Columbia
and Alaska is in favor of standing by
the boundary line established in 1824.
The sentiment here is very decided
that under no circumstances will the
people, give up one iota of territory
which we have acquired by purchase
from Russia. , In my interview with
Vice-President Stevenson on my way
down f rom Alaska he was very decided
in his opinions in regard to the bound
ary line. He considered that there
was no question to arbitrate, and if
England thought she had any rights
in that direction she would have to
fight for themthat they did not pro
pose to accord England the least con
sideration in regard to any claims she
might bring up in regard to the terri
tory of Alaska.

among the friends of the American

Talass, containing assurances that the
missionaries at those points are safe.
They are under the protection of
Turkish troops in accordance with the
peremptory ' demand made upon the

ports to Mr. Terrill from these points,
although they give the assurances that
no harm has thus far come to the mis

still exists, and convey the impression.

no means past. Word has also been
received that the American ladies at

Exists Only in Name.
LONDON, Dec. 16. The Daily News
(liberal), commenting upon the an
nouncement that Lord Salisbury has
declined, at present, to receive a de

says?
"This must mean that European con
cert exists ' only in name, and the
powers are not prepared to co-operate
in the deposition of the sultan, or in
enforcing European control, Russia
is the power most closely interested,
and she can count upon the support of
France. If this be so, the situation is
more serious than ever."

CUBA'S MANIFESTO.
Spanish Wrongs to Cubans' Can no Longer
be Endured.
Washington, Dec. 16. The mani
festo of the Cuban revolutionary party
to the people of the United States was
made public today. It is a long docu
ment, prepared by Enrique Jose Var-
ona, ex-deputy of the Spanish cortes,
and reviews the history of the revolu
tionary agitation in Cuba and the pres
ent, conditions on the island. The
manifesto summarizes the Cubans'
needs thus:
"The people of Cuba require only
liberty ana independence to become a
factor ia the prosperity and progrets
of civilized nations, Instead of an ele
ment of disturbance and ruin. Tbe
fault lies entirely with Spain. Cuba is
not the offender, but it is the defender
of its rights. ' Let America, let the
world decide where., rests, justice and
right" ;.. V Jfc;te-,-.-,v
It is set out that no ' people could
bear the wrongs endured by the
Cubans without protest, or without
degrading and condemning themselves
to annihilation. The manifesto con
cludes: - . 1
"Spain denies the Cubans all effec
tive powers in their own country; con
dems them to political inferiority in
their native land: confiscates the pro
ducts of their labor without giving in
return either safety, prosperity, or ed
ucation. Spain has Bhown herself ut
terly incapable of goverhlug Cuba,
which it exploits, impoverishes and
demoralizes. Cubans, not in anger,
put in despair, have appealed to arms
to defend their rights and vindicate
that eternal principle, without which
every community is in danger, the
principle of justice. Nobody has the
right of oppression Spain oppresses
us. In rebelling against oppression
we defend the right; in serving our
own cause we serve the cause of man
kind.. We have not counted the num
ber of our enemies, nor measured their
strength. We may find ruin and death
a few steps ahead. So be it, we do our
duty. If tbe world is indifferent to
our cause, so much the worse for all
A new iniquity shall have been con
summated. The principle of human
solidarity Bhall have suffered defeat."

Philadelphia, Deo. 17. Philadel
phia is all but at the mercy of a gang of
hoodlums, and the traction strike is
not yet 24 hours old. Tonight not a
street car of the Union Traction Com
pany is running, and that company
controls every, line in that city with
the exception of two comparatively
short cross-town lines.
From early morning until dusk, as
each branch line made desperate ef
forts to start, howling mobs surround
ed each oar, stoned and hooted tbe
motorman and conductor, smashed
the windows, cut the trolley ropes and
wreaked all possible destructions, un
til the attempt was abandoned. The
strikers took little if any part in the
work of destruction. This was in tie
bands of the inevitable rowdy element.
Many persons were inj ired by flying
missiles, and thousa ids of dollars
worth of valuable property was de
stroyed. D. P. it A. N. Announcement.

A Ringing Message From Cleveland oa
the Tenezuelan Question.
Washington, Dec. 17. President
Cleveland today sent 'to congress
messnge on the reply of Great Brltlan
in the Venezuelan dispute. The reply
is embodied in two communications
addressed by the British prime minis
ter to Sir Julian Pauncefote, British
ambassador. The president says: "It
will bo seen that one of these commu
nications is devoted exclusively to. ob
servations upon the Monroe doctrine.
and claims that in the present instance '
a new and strange extension andde-'
velopmentof this doctrine is insisted
on by the United States, and that the
reasons justifying an appeal to the doc
trine enunciated by President Monroe
are generally Inapplicable to the state
of things in which we live at the pres
ent day, and especially inapplicable
to the controversy Involving the
boundary line between Great Britain
and Venezuela. 1
Without attempting extended ar
guments to reply to these positions, "
the president Says, " it may not be
amiss to suggest that the doctrine
upon which we stand is Btrong and
sound, because its enforcement is im- .
portant to our country and our safety ..'
as a nation and essential to the integ
rity of our free institutions and the
tranquil maintenance of our distinc
tive form of government. It was in
tended to apply to every stage of our ;
national life and cannot become obso
lete while our republic endures. That,
we should not seek to apply the Mon-
roe doctrine to the pending dispute be
cause it does not embody any principle
of International law is, in may opinion,
erroneous.
This government has proposed to
the government of Great Britain tore-
sort to arbitration as the proper means
of settling the question. It will be
seen from the correspondence here
with submitted that this proposition
has been declined by the British gov
ernment upon grounds which, under
the circumstances, seem to be far from
satisfactory. The course to be pur
sued by this government, in view of '
the present condition, does not appear -to
admit of serious doubt. Nothing
remains'-.b.ut .to accept the situation,
to recognize 'its plain requirements
and deal with it accordingly. Thesis-
"puie.-ha-s reached suoh;a- stage 3t3; "
make it now incumbent upon the ,
United States to take measures to de
termine with sufficient certainty for
its justification what is the true divis
ional. In order that such an examina
tion should be prosecuted in a thor-...
ough and satisfactory manner, I sug
gest that congress make adequate ap
propriation for the expenses of a com- -
mission to be appointed by the exeou- '
tive, who shall make the necessary
investigation, and report upon : the
matter with the least possible delay. '
When- such a report is made and ac
cepted it will, in my opinion, be the
duty of tbe United S lates to resist, by
every means In its power, as a willful
aggression upon its rights and in tor- .
est, the appropriation by Great Britain
of any lands or exercise governmental
jurisdiction over any territory which,
after investigation, we have determin
ed of right belongs to Venzulelo. In
making these recommendations, I am
fully alive to the responsibility incur
red and keenly realize all the conse
quences that may follow. There's no
calamity which a great nation can
invite which equals that which follows
supine submission to wrong and in
justice and consequent loss of national
self-respect and honor, beneath which
is shielded and defended the poeple's
safety and greatness."
