A Courier Reports Passes Guarded
by Indians-Bandit Captured
Siletz Reservation Opened.
Salt Lake, July 2.-tA special to the
Tribune front Pocatello, Idaho, says;
William 'Ross, of the Aran ot Ross, Gray
& Wyatt, has Just arrived at Market
Lake from St. Anthony, and' reports
everybody. In Jackson's Hole killed this
morning. 'It Is considered authentic news,
and t'he excitement Is intense. United
States troops from Chtyenne will arrive
In the morning at 6 o'clock and will leave
at once for Market Lake and thence by
wagon road for the Fall River country.
Courier Sargent arrived In 'Market Lake
this morning from the vicinity of Jack
son's Hole. He left a companion noted
for his bravery who intended proceeding
Into the Hole If possible, end return with
the news. He is expected at Market
Lake tonight. Sargent reports all passes
guarded and Is afraid his companion will
not be able to obtain entrance.
BRADY CAPTURED.
The Noted Bandit and 'Murderer in Cus
tody.
Sacramento, July 26. The capture ot
Jack Brady, the bandit, murderer and
farmer's boy, near Sacramento, naturally
created quite a sensation in Sacramento,
and large crowds of people were In and
about Sheriff Johnson's office all the at'
ternoon hoping for a chance to see the
noted criminal.
When Detective Thatcher called at the
Jail, Brady said: "How do you do, Mr.
Thatcher?" "How do you know my
name?" aSked Thatcher. "Oh, I was in
the saloon near the corner of Third and
K etreets in this city a few weeks ago
when you came in. Some one remarked
There's Thatcher,' and I ducked out of
there."
Brady says he lodged here for a week
and was at Stockton, also, about three
weeks. His capture, which was made
by Deputy Sheriff McDonald and William
A. Johnson, under the bridge near Frank
lin In this county, was an easy one,
They got- the "drop" on 'Mm while he
was hiding under the bridge and he had
to surrender. Yesterday he was driven
by hunger to the little town, of Freeport
and tine officers were notified. When
Brady was arrested be had in his posses
sion a sawed-off shot gun of the pattern
usually carried by express messengers.
It wis the Identical gun which had been
stolen from the express train which was
held up near Lodl a few nights befor
the train robbery. It will prove one of
the strong links In the chain of circum
stantial lervLdence land convict Brady.
The gun was today identified by Wells,
Fargo officials as belonging to the express
company.
GENERAL STITZHR'S REPORT.
Salt Lake, July 26. A Tribune special
from Cheyenne says Adjutant General
Stltzer made his official report to Gov
ernor (Richard today, on the Indian
troubles In the Jackson's Hole country.
The report 1s made toy wire from Market
Lake, Idaho.
Tbe adjutant genera) arrived at Marys
villa on July 19th and on the next day
had a conference with Agent Teeter, of
the Fort Hall reservation, and about fif
ty settlers of Jackson's Hole. Captain
House, of the Shoshone Indian police, was
also present. The conference between
Teeter and the settlers was very uns&t
lsfactory, and created bad feeling.
In an interview with the grievance com.
mlttee, consisting of four prominent citi
zens of Jackson's Hole, on the 21st, the
committee gave detailed statements of the
actions of the Indians for tbe past six
years, as to how they had acted in law
less ways in the wanton destruction of
game in the country. These Indians be
longed to the Bannock, Shoshone and
Lemnl tribes. The settlers had finally de
termined to demand tbe observance of
the law.
The Indians had rece-ntly defied the con
stituted authorities, and several had been
killed. Some of the Indians who were
arrested a short time ago had escaped
after several had been killed.
The agent at Fort Hall had given the
settlersTio satisfaction and claimed that
they had a right to hunt on timber
lands of the government.
The adjutant general says the recent
wounding of Captain Hall has aroused
anew the slumbering excitement of the
settlers and may result In, another con
fliot between the -whites and Indians.
-KAlNSAS WANTS JUSTICE.
Topeka, July 2S.-Governor Morrill has
addressed a letter to President Cleveland
again calling the attention of the federal
government to the arrest of John L. Wal
ler by the French government. He says:
"The people of our state feel that t
great outrage has been perpetrated on
one of its citizens. It is not a question
of raos or elass; It Is a question of Amer-j
lean citizen chip and through me tha pao-J
pie of our state appeal to you to take im
mediate active measures to secure Jus
tice to our fellow citizen. It is reported
through the press that (France has denied
a respectful request on the part of .the
United tSates government to visit Mr.
Waller and to furnish a copy of the
charges on which, he is alleged to have
been convicted. "
ANXIETY TN (WASHINGTON.
The Waller -Affair Getting Very Serious.
Washington, July 26. The officials of
the state department are at present an
xiously awaiting Information from- Am
bassador Bustls as to the manner In
whtcto the second demand (or the record
of the Waller court martial which was
held In Lamtlv has been reselved in
France.
It is now learned definitely that the
Franch government refused to furnish the
record on the first presentation of the
request, and that this refusal was met
on the part of the state department by a
more positive end pressing demand for
the papers.
There has been quite sufficient time
for an answer, but none has been re
ceived. The course of the French in the
refusal to supply the record is most un
usual. The supposition Is gaining ground
that France's refusal to furnish, the rec
ord is due to a desire not to give pub
licity to the revelations made In letters
from Waller which were intercepted by
t'he French authorities concerning the
mission of some of the French soldiers.
There Is reason for believing that in
case of a second refusal by France to
supply the record,, a third demand will
be made.
STRlANGfl CONFESSION.
Salt -Lake, July 28. A special to the
Tribune, from -Butte, says: -
According to the story told the city
marshal by August Barrensteln, a young
German, the William, F. Fredericks, who
was hanged In California today was liv
ing in Butte from August, 1893, to Janua
ry, IBM, and was the murderer of three
chinamen who were found butchered and
robbed In their cabin near this city
September 30, and also committed a num
ber of daring highway robberies In Butte
about the same time. Barrensteln says
he roomed with Fredericks, who at that
time went by the name of William Berg
man, and the murderer related the inci
dents of his career and boasted of his
crime to him, but threatened to kill the
young man if he betrayed him, and Bar
rensteln was so much afraid of him
that he kept the secret until he knew
Fredericks could not escape the. gallows.
Fredericks told Barrensteln that he be
longed to Chris. Evans' band of outlaws,
In California, and had murdered a sheriff
and a brake-man in that state and came
to Montana to escape the officers.
DETROIT RACES.
Detroit, July M.-an the pace today Hal
Pointer, iMascot and Rubenstein started.
Pointer and 'Mascot sold for $50 each end
Rubenstein for 17. After the first heat
Pointer sold as a favorite against the
field at 25 to 1. (Rubenstein was almost
neglected in- the books. When he took
the second heat, however, he became
even money favorite, and in the fourth
heat was at prohibitive odds.
Pointer took the first heat in hollow
style. After that it was alt Rubensteln's,
although Mascot gave him a brush in the
fourth heat. Rubenstein won easily. Best
time, 2:06.
SILETZ RESERVATION.
Corvallis, Or., July B6.-But meagre de
tails of the opening of the Biletz reser
vation to settlement, at noon yesterday,
have been received. The latest news
from the scene is that every thing is
quiet. (Many settlers came in to the
reservation over the Salmon River route,
entering the reserve from the north, and
the number cannot be ascertained.
It is estimated that 200 boomers are
scattered within the borders of tbe re
serve, looking for locations. Probably
over a hundred filings will be made all
told.
BRlADSTRlBET'S WEEKLY.

A SHORTAGE OF 8TEELHEADS
Many Eastern Buyers Are Beginning-
to Purchase More Rap
idly Than Before.
-As t'he salmon season draws to a close
-matters In connection with the size of ths
pack begin to assume a slightly more
healthy appearance. Since our last re
port the run has remained exceptionally,
good and comes very nearly, If not quite,
up to the record of the same week last
year. This run has how lasted for very
nearly three weeko and must compensate
the packers considerably for the unpre
cedented slackness of the three weeks pre
ceding It. Bteeiheads have fallen off con
siderably, and the pack of this variety
of fish as well as that of bluebacks will
be very short. The most . remarkable
records made during the week have been
shown by the seining outfits, some ot
which have sent In to the various can
neries dally catches that have never been
known before the present season. The
gill net boats are doing well, but there
has been a slacking up In the catch ot
traps. . Fishing is to a great extent being
done at night, on account of the unusual
clearness of the jlyer, which makes day
work Impossible. This eight fishing will
continue to the end of the season. An
other two weeks will see the closing up of
all operations on the river, and as that
-time draws near it becomes apparent
that the Astorian's estimate ot a shortage
of from 70,000 to 100,000 cases will be
proved oorract. Orders continue to come
in from most of the commercial centers
with Increased rapidity and movements ol
carload stock from thlp end continue
(-.extremely brisk. ''During the past meek
fully "60 carloadl "containing over 25,000
cases have been sent out for delivery,
Competlngsrallroad lines continue to give
better service and quicker receipt than
at the beginning of. the season, a state ot
affairs that is much appreciated by ship
pers Several of the local canneries are
already making preparations for fall fish
ing, both here and in a number of outside
Oregon streams, and there is every pros
pect of a fair fall catch. Salmon continue
excellent In quality with a perceptible
average increase -in weight, which runs
now fully SO pounds. A large number ot
Eastern houses are rousing themselves to
the fact that their orders, much longer
delayed, cannot possibly be fully filled
and in the last iew days telegraphic end
other Instructions from leading Jobbers
and wholesalers have made It apparent
that the closer the tenth of August draws
near the bigger will be the rush for goods.
We quote today as follows:
Spring catch, straight Chinook, tl.30
to fl.Cjfor tails, and fl.50 to $1.6714 for
flats. Two-pound' regular tails with key,
$2.10; Bluebacks, 1-pound tails, $1.82;
1-pound flats, $1.60; Chinook ovals, for experts-market
closed; for home consump
tion, $1.87 to $1.96.
Our Victoria correspondent says: "The
sockeye run on the iFraser River up to
the time of writing, has been fairly good,
although the run has, so far, given no
reliable indications of what the season
may be expected to be. During recent
years -the run has commenced later and
later, but this season has seen a return
to an earlier date, such as was formerly
expected, and generally without disap
pointment. Now it seems to be a question
as to whether or not a resumption ot
the earlier dates of running may not be
anticipated. A few fish were seen In the
river about the first ot the current month,
from which date up to about the 10th
there was a very encouraging Increase in
their numbers. As there were compara
tively few boats out tbe fish at first ap
peared more plentiful -than- when, later,
the main (body of fishermen got to work.
Under ordinary conditions, taking into
account the -fact thao the run commenced
earlier, the packing season should be at
its height today, but since the fish fell
off In numbers after the 10th inst., this
Is not the case. However encouraging
news comes from Point (Robers, which
seems to Indicate that next week, at the
latest, there should be plenty of fish In
the river. It is not anticipated though
that this season's pack will be a heavy
one, some experienced men thinking it
unlikely It will! attain to much more than
one-half the proportions of last year's.
So far the canneries operating have han
dled from 1000 to 2000 cases of sockeyes
each, and on the ISth Inst., the first ship
ment of this season's flab was tnade by
Ewen Co., who got away about 1,250
cases, consigned to the English martcTT:
Highest of all b Leavening Powers Latest U. S. Gov't Report 1
MM
r&A9 niwis'ww ratfc
A larger proportion of flat oval cans Is
being used this season than heretofore, al
though the old style of can 13 still being
extensively filled. The pack of spring
aalmon totalled about 6,000 cases on the
Fraser this year, the bulk of which has
been shipped. The establishment of the
Texas Lake Ice and Cohl Storage Co.'a
works at New Westminster has proved
t distinct commercial benefit, and a de
cided advance In the direction- of provid
ing further facilities for tha handling of
fresh fish. Not only has frozen fish been
sent by rail to eastern markets, as in
former years, but shipments for London,
'Paris and Australian cities have been
made by the Canadlan-AuetMllan steam
ers to Sydney, from which port the con
signments for Europe have been sent on
to their destination. It is only reasonable
to suppose that the demand for frozen
Sockeyes, as well as for spring salmon,
for ths cities named! will increase,
largely.
Our Newt Westminster correspondent
says: Close upon 2,000 boats were out
last night, and the catch exceeded 12,000,
or 1,000 cases. As near as can be esti
mated the catch averaged close on to 80
to the boat, which was considerably less
than' anticipated after the unexpected run
of Friday night. The Sunday close sea
son allowed the heaviest of the rush to
get up the river before they could be
fished. The pack is now about 66,000
cases.
DUN'S WEEKLY.
New York, July 26. R. G. Dun ft Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade will say to
morrow: It Is not the season for the
tide of - business to rise, but there ts
Scarcely any shrinkage except that which
comes naturally with the midsummer
heat. The volume of new business is
small compared with recent months, but
large enough to encourage more openings
of long closed work and more advances
in returns to labor. Important strikes
show that the advance is not enough
fr some, but the strikers seem not more
threatening than a week ago.
Accounts of the shrinkage in the yield
of wheat come from both the Paclflo
states and from the Dakotas.
The failures for the week were 202 In
the United States against 249 last year and
27 la Canada against 21 last year.

LONDON'S CRLA1ILW1AY CONGRESS.
It Was the Largest Ever Seen In the His
tory of lliailroadlng. i
E. T. Jeffery, president of the Denver
ft Rio. Grande railroad; has returned from
the International railway congress in Lon
don. Concerning the congress President
Jeffery saiys:
"The cogress was the largest ever held
In the history of railroading. There were
866 delegates present from England, Amer
ica, Germany, France, Italy, and every
country In the world where there Is a
railroad. The Americans, representing
the Wading railroads of the Western
Hemisphere, numbered' only about thirty,
which we considered entirely too e-mail
a representation, considering that the
Uinlted States has nearly half of the
entire railroad mileage of the globe. John
M. Toucey, general manager of the New
York Central, read the speed record of
the Empire state express, which was far
ahead of anything tihat the oldest and
most experienced of ths English or Con
tinental railroad managers had ever heard
of. The statement that 102 to 104 miles an
hour hud been made1 on special runs by
steam trains astonished the leading men
of the railroad world. We are trying
to haive the next congress held in the
United Btates. The first was at London
In 1686, the next at Vienna in 1887, then
Paris in 1889, and St. Petersburg in 1892.
The headquarters Is in Brussels."
