INDIANS ON WAR PITH Women and Children Removed From Troubled District. JACKSON'S HOLE SETTLERS Some Fighting Has Bean Done Hoke Smith in Georgia News of Astoria Road in Portland. Salt Lake, July 23. A special to the Tribune from Oheyenme Says: The first advices of am authentic nature from the scene of 'the Indian troubles la the Jack son's Hole regUon reached Governor Rich ards today In the shape of telegrams sent by courier from.

Addresses An Enthusiastic Audience In Gainsville, Ja. Gatosville, Ga., July ZS. Secretary Hoke SmOth delivered here today the first of a series of three addresses In GeorgiU. on the financial Issue. A tremendous crowd assembled t hear the speeoh, and he was cheered to tttie echo. He wa$ ln troduced by Judge Perry, who paid a glowir.ff tribute to President Cleveland. Mr. SmltQi spoke to part as follows: "Alt Chicago In 1892 the Democratic par ty, by Its representatives for the entire Union, voted down overwhelmingly the proposition of the delegate from Colora do, to Insert In the platform the word free," which would have made thie plat foi-m declare for the free coinage of silver. The average decrease In the price of commodities since 1873 has been about 30 per cent, and the heaviest decline has b?..n In the line of these things1 which the meases of the- people buy. AT1 those re ductions Ire price are partly attributable to lessened cost of production! and part ly Ito th!e recent panic. While commod ities hiave fallen 20 per cent, silver has fallen. 50 per cent. The bullion In the silver dollar Is only worth 53 cents; 25.8 grains standard gold una worUh 100 cents. To llift the value of 412 grains of the silver dbBar In the United States from 60 to 100 cents' It wouid be necessary to HUt the value of all the silver In the world to the saane extent, less the cost of trans porting St to the United States. In addi tion, to this, if the silver rjiln.s can afford to continue increasing their production Uls they hiave from 181,000,000 In 1873 to (214.481,000 In 180-1. on a market which has fallen 60 per cent, what would they pro duce on a market which has risen one huTjlred per cent? The Immediate effect of the election of a president committed to such a policy would be the separation of the gold and silver doEar, the gold dollar going to a premium of about two for one, and we would lose ait once JC78,- 000,000 of goCd mow In circulation and In the treasury." THE KEELING IN ENGLAND. Washington, July 23. Assistant Secre tary Curtis, Of the tjrasury department, who went to London t deliver to Messrs Rothschild the forelga quota of bonds lu the recent gold syndicate sales, re turned to Washington today. In th course of conversation regarding his trip, Curtis said: "I found the feeling regarding invest ment In Untied States stocks, bonds and other securities, both public and pri vate, better than I expected. There is a very largo amount of money In Eng land awai'tirur investment, and I am sat isfied that If holders were assured that the value of what they bought would not be reduced by legislation regaiding our currency, that large amounts would flow to this side of the water and un era of great- f-roeperVty would foilosr In this cannery. 'The political excitement attendant on the Changs of government was moat marked, and the dissolution of parlia ment and the campaign for the oeur elec tions were very Interesting to an out- eider. .The point, however, which stru:k me very forcibly, was thu-t the change of government made no change In the dully business of the departments, and though I was to the treasury the morning after the ladnouncemenlt of the new ministry taking effect, there was no attendant line of office-seekers, and the heads of bu reaus und divisions had no anxiety as to any prospective decapitation."

The court holds thut when voters hon estly east ballots in accordance with the directions of law, as applied to them, then the voteu cinnot be thrown out because of omissions or Irregularities of the election of officers, In the absence of fiaud, which was not sh!wn in this case.

Mr. Hammond will not longer wait upon anyone, Ibut It will be a great wrong to the other loyal citl sens of Astoria and Clatsop county If these back-sliders do not dome to time, and now that Immediate construction upon the Goble road Is assured there should be no furthbr hesitancy on their part to come Into line iait once. Come Into the fold and Join the good company t The consummation of Astoria's fondest hopes is the result of long and patient work on the part ot her heading citizens and the various committees In charge of affairs. Mayor Kinney, chairman of. the Dwenlty-one and Direction Committees, represenlta that spirit of Indefatigable labor, push, and energy whose dictionary la the language of Richelieu, knows no such word as 'Ml." The doctor started upon this work the 5th of (December, 1803, and he and his associates have stuck to it through the darkest times, never BWerving (frttmi the path leading to the one great objecft In .view, meeting all re buffs and ofbstacVs with the one reply, 'The road will he built."- These col umns have chronlcCed from time to time the -various sub-committees and the meg nlAoent iwtork done ty them In the several fleCds allotted to uhetm. To one and all und to those citizens who have unhesl- taiXngly given their financial support and moral aid Is due the highest meed of praise. Ptastbly never In the history of western railroading has so large a cap ital been raised within so short a space of time, without the Issue of municipal or corporation bonds. Lands with a clear title, to the amount of nearly itwo mil lions of dollars, and right of way to the amount of one hundred and fifty thous and dollars, have been handed over to the contractors Dor f- the , railroad company. Where in the history of railroad con struction can another such record be shown? Astoria will now begin to realize the benefits of her maitunal position and will take the place that she deserves In the commerce at the worM. Situated upon the best natural port of the Pacific coast Morton of San Francisco, at the mouth of the great Cotunrbla, she will be the terminus of more than one tnans continental rallnoad. Terminal rates will place her upon an even footing wC'th all ether commercial center of the North west, and dtre'Bdhlng out her arms of steel through the raley of the Columbia, the Nehalem and the Willamette, she win gather in the traffic of the great states of Oregon, Washington and Ida ho.

Let the same spirit of energy andt un flagging zeal inUrJc the work of her dtl sens during the period of construction and growth and there will be no limit to ' Astoria's prosperity and future successes.

Had he known her probably ail the glamour would hiave evaporaitcd and his i story never have been wrvtlen. it was not "the truth, the bitter truth," as Utendhal called it, but simply boy's poetry. As years went by and the young man grew older, grew to know the gay ad venturesses who flashed through the French capital, he gave th:r world a name that wilt last as long as the French language and wrote Hie clever satirical "Deini-Moniie."
