THE OREGON INDIANS.
" Encouraging Reports Regarding Their
' , t lvllizatlon.
Washington, Oct. 16. Some enoour
Aging reports come from Oregon con
cerning the civilization of Indians upon
the various agencies of that state. This
: is especially true of the Grand Ronde
' 'agency, where progress has been made
and where the-Indians have developed
a desire to become something more than
ordinary vagabonds, ' supported by the
government. , From other agencies the
Reports have not been "quite so favor
able, -and it seems that the1 Oregon In
dian is generally willing to take ad
vantage of his privilege, as defined by
Judge Bellinger, and get drunk.
There is every possibility that a bill
, will be passed at the coming congress
prohibiting the sale of liquor to In
dians, whether he has taken his lands
in severalty or . not. ', Suoh a ', measure
jwas" prepared in; the last oongress, but
f i did not get through. ' It is doubtful
under the construction placed, upon the
law . of citizenship of ... the Indians
ijvvhether-congress can interfere in any
'reuch. matter, except upon reservations,
for the sale of liquor is regarded and
held to be subject to the states as po
: lioe regulations may require. The law
..Which, the, Indian office wants passed is
to place the Indian on alloted land
under the same, jurisdiction -as the In
dian who has "hot yet severed his tribal
relations.
It may delay the final extinction-of
the Indian race somef years if liquor is
kept away from the' Indians, but, at
the same tijiiie,, i t will interfere with a
great and glorious privilege of the red
man. The destiny of the Indian now
is to get rid of himself as soon as possi

CLARKE IS 'EMPHATIC
Declares the Fight Will Not
Take Place in Arkansas.
MILITIA MAY BE CALLED UPON
The Governor Says He Will Not Allow
The Pugilists to Meet Even , ;
. to Shake Hands. .
Little Rook, Oot. 17. Governor
Clarke's determination to stop the Cor-bett-Fitzsiinmons
contest was empha
sized today in the presenpe of General
Taylor, brigadier-general of the Ar
kansas 'state guards, who was sum
moned here by telegraph to confer
with the governor,' in regard to the
strength of the state militia. General
Taylor was in conference with Gover
nor Clarke, for an hour this, morning,
and when seen by a reporter was pre
paring .to take the train for Hot
Springs. General Taylor said the fight
would not occur. His purpose in going
to Hot Springs, he said, was to warn
the people there against the danger.. to
which they would subject themselves,
should an attempt be made to have the
oontest. The state guard, he said,, was
in good condition and amply sufficient
to cope with the case in hand.; He
oould, he said, with a ;i few hours no
tioe, land 850 well-drilled and fully
equipped men in Hot Springs. General
Taylor will return here tomorrow and
advise Governor Clarke as to the situa
tion in. Hot Springs, and the result of
his visit there. :
Governor Clarke, - when questioned
in reference to his consultation with
General Taylor, was not disposed to
talk. Asked if he had confidence in
the ability of the state guard to carry
out his plans, he said the militia was a
matter . of secondary consideration;
that he oould get all the force neces
sary outside pf the militia. He reiter
ated his former declaration that the
flght.would not be permitted to take
place, and said he could make no dis
tinction between a prizefight and a
glove contest. ' . " .'"'
Suppose, Governor Clarke," sug
gested the reporter, "Corbett and Fitz
simmons should desire to give an exhi
bition of physical culture in Hot
Springs, October' 81, in- which large
soft-gloves were to be used, would that
also be stopped by military force?"
Corbett and " Fitzsimmons shall not
meet in Hot Springs in any kind of a
oontest, said Governor Clarke, em
phatically. "If they ever meet, they1
will fight, and they shall not fight in
Arkansas. They shall not meet in Hot
Springs, either in or out of a ring.
They shall not even shake hands. "
Whe.n asked if Cobrett would be ar
rested upon his arrival at Hot Springs,
Governor Clarke said that a good gen
eral never discloses his plans to. the
enemy. Information came from a pri
vate source today that the Florida Ath
letio Club is considering a plan , by
which it hopes to overoome the obsta
cles placed , before it by ' Governor
Clarke. The scheme is to" turn the
whole affair over to the Hot Springs
Association. " That association was in
corporated by William Baboock, John
C. Lonsdale and ' Charles H.' Weaver,
all of Hot Springs. According to its
oharter, the association was organized
to. "carry on the, business of maintain
ing a park or plaoe of reoreation, in or
near the oity of Hot , Springs, where
raoes, athletio sports and. games oould
be practiced and exhibited, and means!
of entertainment furnished either to
the public or to suoh persons or associ
ations as may be admitted thereto."
Under the charter the people inter
ested believe they can conduct a boxing
match limited to a, specific number of
rounds,1 with soft gloves,, without vio
lating any state law. When informed
of this scheme,. Governor Clarke stated
that the -state .chartered corporations
and associations for legal purposes
only, and that no violation of the law
would be tolerated under the guise of
amusement. He. was "not prepared,
however, to state just what legal effect
the' proposed change would have. y , f

Another Slaughter of Defenseless Ar
menians Is Reported. .
London, Oct. 17. A dispatch to the
Daily News from Constantinople says:
Reliable news has been received that
fifty Armenians were killed,1 and
number wounded at Althissar, in the
vilayet of Adin, on the Analolian rail
way, by a Moslem mob.
The slaughter occurred on October 9
wmctt was market day, when many
Armenians had gathered from adjacent
villages. Early in the morning a Turk
ish rough, finding that the Armenians
were not armed, picked a quarrel and
shot one of them. ' There was then
raised on all sides the cry, "Why hesi
tate to massacre the infidels?' A mob
of Turks, armed with revolvers, s then
looted the market and massacred the
helpless Armenians. Their , bodies
were thrown into wells. It is stated
that the mudir was responsible for the
attack. No women or children were
injured, probably on account of the
maimaikan, from the village of Gleve,
three miles distant, who made valiant
efforts at the risk of his own life to
save the Christians. ' Otherwise the
slaughter would have been complete,
The panic is reviving in Constanti
nople, on account of this attack, and
the Armenians are again flocking into
the churches. The police disregard
th safe-conduct cards given to the Ar
menians by the foreign embassies, and
they insult and" maltreat the holders of
them. . ' ...
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Standard blames the Armenian rev
olutionary party for forcing the Ar
menians to close their shops and to
maintain the appearance of a panic
when the Armenians themselves are
ready to resume business.

respondent, "and questioned the pris

SUCCESS JOF THE COMMISSION
Secured the Execution of Seventeen Chi
. nese Criminals.
Washington, Oct. 17. Minister
Denby and the British minister of
China have Succeeded in overcoming
the obstacles which have threatened to
make the Ku Cheng commission a fail
ure as far as it was intended to secure
the punishment of, the Chinese who
participated in the riots, at Ku Cheng.
At each stage the commission has
been hindered by local Chinese officials
and the viceroy of the prpvince of Se
Chuen himself, who stood in the way
of the punishment of .the guilty par
ties. Finally an appeal was made to
the tsung li yamen directly and it has
acceded to the demands, of th minis
ters, . as evidenced by the following
cablegram, received at the state de
partment today, from Mr. Denby:
"Peking, Oct. 11. Seventeen crim
inals were executed at Ku Cheng. "The
yamen agrees that all leaders' in the
rioting shall be executed; all partici
pants sentenced and all implicated shall
,be tried.. The commission . will prob
ably be adjourned. An imperial de-'
oree has been issued which refers all of
the Se Chuen officials implicated to the
board for punishment. "

The Durrant Trial Postponed on Ac
count of Deupreys Sickness.
San Francisco, Oct. 1 7. The "trial
of, Theodore Durrant was today contin

the illness of Attorney Deuprey, lead
ing counsel for the r defense. While
the rroseoution made no objection to
the motion to continue, Judge Murphy
was reluctant about giving his consent,
and announced that the trial would be
resumed next. Monday, whether Deu

Mr. Deuprey is suffering from a severe

his duties next week. i
The defense has only a few more

Lenahan, the rebuttal will be rapidly
approached,' and the end of . the trial
can be calculated by' days. . In, antici

the resting of the defendant's case, Dis

LAST COREAN UPRISING

" Foreign Warships. :
PROBABLE DEATH OP THE QUEEN
Trouble Had Its Inception Through
. Her Dislike to the Newly-Or-,,
; , ', ganized Soldiers.
. Washington, Oct. 16. Information
of a formidable uprising in Corea, re
sulting in the disappearance and prob
able death of the queen and landing of
military forces by- the United States
and European .powers, has been receiv
ed by Minister Kurino, of Japan, from
the foreign office at Tokio. It is quite
sensational, indicating the landing of
marines by Russia, the United States
and probably Great Britain.
The latest dispatch to Minister Ku
rino states that a force of Russian ma
rines, forty in number, has been land
ed. Thus far they have confined
themselves to guarding the Russian le
gation near Seoul. United States ma
rines were landed from the Yorktown
to the number of sixteen. It is believ
ed British marines have been landed.
Besides these the Japanese have a con
siderable force of soldiers at Seoul,
who have been preserving order.
The dispatches come from Tokio,
and communicate the substance of dis
patches received from General Miira,
the Japanese envoy at Seoul. They are
dated from he 9th to the-12th inst.,
and it appears from these dispatches
that the trouble had its inception
through the queen's dislike of the new
ly organized soldiers of Corea. The
old soldiers had the primitive equip
ment of the, far East, but with the
progress of Japanese influence in Corea,
two battalions of Corean troops "were
organized on modern methods. Each
battalion numbered 600 men armed
with modern ,weapons. They were
well drilled and officered. -
When the queen showed her disfavor
toward these new troops they appealed
to Tai Won Kun, a powerful . chief,
who had long been at enmity with the
queen. He accepted the leadership of
the new troops, . and, at the head of
one battalion, entered the queen's pal
ace. Tne native soldiers Hod from the
palace. ; .-. ;r- - -..:-r
The Tokio dispatch did not state
what had become of the queen, further
than that she had disappeared and can
not be located. The officials are in
clined to believe however that the un
official reports of the queen's death are
true. The Japanese government, the
,dispatch further states, has acted
quickly on the reports and has appoint
ed a commission to inquire into the
facts. . - .. ,
In the meantime it is emphatically
denied.that the1 queen's death, if it has
occurred, was due to the Japanese.
One dispatch says a Japanese soshi
killed the queen. This is not yet con
firmed in the dispatches Veceived here.
The officials say that the soshi are an
irresponsible andlawless class, and that
tneir acts cannot De lam to tne Japan
ese people or government.
DENIED BY BAYARD.

Has
Nofp Been Sent to England.
London, Oct. 17. Ambassador Bay
ard was interviewed today respecting
the report circulated in the United
States that he had been instructed by
Secretary Olney to submit an ultima
tum to Great Britian on the Venezue
lan question in the form of a dispatch
the substance of which is said to be
that the United States would never
consent to British occupation of the
disputed territory unless the right to
it is determined by arbitration. Bay-
rd, after reading the article published
in a New York newspaper, dated Wash
ington, October 8,. said the facts seem

brain of the writer in. the same man

EXTERMINATION OF SEALS.
Annual Report of Governor Sheakley,
of Alaska, to the Secretary.
Washington, Oct. 17. James Sheak
ley, governor of Alaska, in his annual
report to the secretary of the interior,
says that on the Fourth of July, the
cutters Rush, Corwin, Grant and Perry
were in the harbor of Unalaska and
gave the natives an object lesson as to
the proper 'and pariotio celebration of
the day. On the disappearance of the
seal the governor says:
"No one at all familiar with the
past history of the islands ' can look
upon the deserted rookeries today and
not'realize with crushing force how
great has been the diminution of seal
life, especially the- reproductive class,
the females." .
The governor says the claim of the
Canadians and British that the exces
sive killing of seals on land is the cause
of the depletion is disapproved by the
statistics. He says that on the rook
enes now there are many male seals,
while females are scarce. The diminu
tion is due directly to the killing at
sea, where no discrimination can be
made as to the sex of the . seals. .: He
says that better protection must be
granted them than is afforded' by the
Paris-tribunal, and that the schooners
have not been able to make the usual
catch this season, the catch of the Brit
ish vessels being not over 200 per ves-

Denver, Oct. 17. Rev. Frank Hyatt
Smith, late of the North-avenue Bap
tist church, Cambridge, Mass., seems
quite likely to be placed under arrest
and taken back to Boston as a prisoner
of the federal authorities. He is now
in this city, as a candidate for the pas
torship of the First Congregational
church, of which Rev. Myron W. Reed
was formerly in charge. According to

charged with ha"ving written and
mailed postal cards bearing remarks of
a scandalous nature, referring to cer
tain members of his Cambridge church,

two factions, with one of which the
clergyman seems to be very much at

SYMPATHY FOR DEBS.
A Resolution Adopted by a Section of
a the American Railway Union.
Devil's Lake.'N. D., Oct. 16. The
general board of mediation of the
American Railway Union has adopted
the following resolution, addressed to
the employes of Amerioa: ','."'"
"Though overwhelmed and shatter
ed in the great strike of 1894, its mem
bers blacklisted and scattered, - the
union has risen . and is lighting the
way to industrial freedom. The rail
way interests of the country are rapid
ly passing into the hands of a few men,
and the only hope of employes lies in
unification, and progressive men are
active in their efforts to bring this
about. To our beloved, president, E.
V. Debs, although ' you are behind
prison bars, deprived of your liberty
by a corrupt and servile tool of cor
porations, backed by rotten adminis
tration, you live in the hearts of the
common people. The employes of the
Great Northern are with you, . as they
were in 1894, and honor you as a leader
who will yet lead to victory."

and extra soldiers enlisted. It is re
ported a filibuster craft, with armed
men, was seen about ten miles from
Honolulu, but the polioe tug failed to

San Francisco, Oct. 14. Another of
the monster guns especially constructed
by the war department for, the defense
of San Francisco, has arrived at the
West Oakland railroad yards. It is a
more massive piece i of Ordnance than
Big Betsy on the Monterey, or the great
gun at Fort Point. . The gun is forty
two feet long and fifteen inch bore.
The diameter of this tremendous en
gine of war is fully fifty inches t the
breech. The weight of the ponderous
weapon is such that it taxed the
strength of the oars that bore it from
the East to this coast.
WAR ON LOTTERIES
Annual Report of, Postoffice
Department's Attorney, i
MANY FRAUD ORDERS ISSUED
Amended Lottery Act Has Been Most
Successful and Virtually Closed
the Mails to Lottery Concerns.
Washington, Oct 15. John L?
Thomas, attorney-general for the. post
office department, has made his annual
report to the postmaster-general. Of
the operations of his office he says that
during the year 218 "fraud" orders
were issued, prohibiting the delivery of
registered packages and the payment of
money orders to certain companies and
parties named. Of these, however,
thirty -eight were duplicate orders."
The orders were issued against fifty-five
lotteries, operated by so-called bond
investment companies; twelve against
avowed lotteries; 21 lotteries of a mis
cellaneous character and 130 schemes
devised to defraud the public. Seventy
of these orders were revoked upon it
being made to appear that the. parties
operating the schemes , had abandoned
them. This left in force, at the end of
the, year, 148 orders, original .uA dup
licates. Twenty-eight of the orders
issued -during the previous year were
also revoked upon the proper showing. ,
Mr. Thomas says that the act of March
2, 1895, further amending the lottery
act, has been most suocSssful and has
virtually closed the mails to lottery
concerns. He adds: -'
- "This act goes further still, and for
bids international state carriers from
transporting lottery matter from for
eign countries into this country, or
from one state to another. This de
partment has no jurisdiction, however,
to enforce this part of the law, and I
cannot state definitely the extent to
which the lottery carrying business has
been checked by the act, but' I am in
formed that most, if not allof the ex
press companies yield obedience to it
by refusing to carry the prohibited lot
tery matter. It may be confidently as
serted that the death knell of the lot
teries in this country has been sound
ed, and their business has been vastly .
crippled, if not destroyed; but I am , '
sorry to note the fact that many busi
ness men think they must, in order - to
succeed, report to schemes that appeal
to the gambling spirit of the people, ,
and they accordingly sugar-coat their
legitimate enterprises with lottery, ad
vertisements, and thus create a desire
for other and more pernicious modes of ;
obtaining something for nothing by .
hazard or chance. , These f asoinating
and apparently innocent schemes reach
the boys and girls of the land and tend
to make them gamblers. " .:
The number of claims allowed for
losses by burglary, fire, etc., were
1,806, amounting to 1136,686. ;
The attorney-general .again urges a
law compelling subordinates in post
offices to give security for the hand
ling of money, or making the post
masters responsible for the losses in
curred by subordinates. Mr. Thomas
also calls attention to an important
subject in the following way:
"Attention has been severaf times
during the year called to the danger- -ous
and injurious matter deposited in
the mails, and" upon investigation it
was shown that there was - no, penalty
prescribed for putting such' matter in
the mails, and, indeed, there . is , no
statute forbidding the mailing of these s
substances, such as poisons, matches,
and other . articles liable . to ignite or
explode by shock or jar; live and pois
onous insects and reptiles, smallpox -virus
or germs of contagious diseases; .
or fatty substances," liquids, or sharp- ,
tongued instruments. ' Some - are very
dangerous to the life, health and com
fort of the body, and others are liable
to damage other mail matter and mail-.,
sacks if they should become loose in the
mails." , '
College Football. -
Cambridge, Mass.; Oct. 15. The'
prospect of a football game with Prince
ton is the one thing talked of among
the followers of the game at Harvard.
The latter will do everything possible .
to bring about the game and it is said '
the only difficulty is a suitable date.
Princeton has named November 2 With '
the university of Michigan, but has
open dates November 5 and 6. The
latter date is objectionable1 because a
week later both Harvard and Princeton
play their most important games, the.
former with the university of Penn
sylvania and the . latter with Yale.
Princeton has a game with Cornell No
vember 9 which, it is stated, the lat-,
ter refuses to cancel although it is sug-'
gested that Marshall Newell, the old
Harvard tackle, who is coaching Cor
nell, may be able, to arrange a date
later. : , " - ..
