There is to be but one issue in our next naticnal campaign, and that, as we all know, is free silver. It was the issue of 1896, and will be for the campaign of 1900. It is the one supreme issue upon which the great battle will be fought, and Tam ready to believe the vic ory will be ours. The case was decided against us in the trial of free silver in 1896, but I, as one of the many attorneys for bimetallism, wan: to file a motion for a new trial.

Peace Commlssioners Cannot Agree London, Oct. 1i.—A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Paris says the United States and Span- ish peace commissioners are at entire variance regarding the question of the disposition of the Philippines and that they bave referred the matter to their respective governments. The semi-ofticial Madrid Correspond- encia to-day, touching upon the nego- tiations now in progress at Paris, says: V informed circles assert that the peace ations are not proceeding satisfactorily. Senor Montero Rios has written asking for new instructions to enable him to come to an agree- ment with the Amer commissioners. His lett have been read at a meeting of the cab inet and the ministers have agreed upon the terms of the new instructions which will be sent before to-morrow's meeting of the com- missioners. A minister has expressed the opinion that probably the Philippine question will not be discus as the Americans are also waiting for instructions. To Take Possession of Porto Rico.

The War amines the Secretary's Reply to Ques- ed HI Investigating Committee Ex- tions Washington, Oct. 11 he warinves- tigating commission devoted its session to-day to the examination of Secretary Alger’s statement and the papers fur- nished him in reply to the commissions’ inquiries. The accompanying papers include the reports from the various bureaus of the war department, and also various letters and telegrams bearing upon the conduct of the war. Secretary Alger in his report replies to the various questions propounded by the commission, but he gives es- pecial prominence to the plan of campaign and to the changes that were made in the original plans. He states that Tampa was chosen as the base of operations because of its prox- imity to Havana, at which point it was originally intended the landing should be made. The determination to make a change was due to the developments on the southern coast of Cuba and to Admiral Cervera’s course in locating his fleet in the bay of San- tiago. When it became quite certain that he was securely entrapped, Ad- 1 Sampson wired the fact to the ary of the navy asking that troops be sent immediately.

MANY ROVING BANDS OF INDIANS SEEN A Party of Indians Have Gone After Bog- Ah-Ma-Ge-Shig with the Intention of Killing Him—Marshal O'Connor Thinks There Will Be Another Battle—Bacon Has Wired for More Help. Walker, Minn., Oct. 11.—For some time last night the Indian situation was thought to be nearing a solution, but the reports which arrived at mid- night indicate that the Indians are only playing for time. Three of the leading chiefs who promised Gen. Ba- con that the hostiles would be sur- rendered have no authority to talk for them, and now the whites have reached the conclusion that the friendly In- dians are in the conspiracy to delay action until they can receive acces- sions. Frontiersmen who have gone out to investigate continue to report bands of Indians in all directions going to- ward Bear island, where the hostiles are located. In every instance where they have been interrogated they have said that they were going to hunt United States marshals and govern- ment troops and will not molest white settlers’ The seriousness of the situ- ation can be better understood when itis known that the Indian school at Leech lake has been closed and the white teachers and superintendent brought to Walker. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones has arrived from Washington and is conferring with Gen. Bacon as to future action. It is not definitely settled, but it is thought that Gen. Bacon will land his troops on the peninsula where the Indians are stationed to-morrow. The railroads crossing the Leech lake reservation are redoubling their vigilance in protecting their property. United States Marshal O'Connor says the runners sent to the hostiles carry- ing Gen. Bacon’s ultimatum to sur render or fight will not return until to-morrow morning. Until they do return there will be no movements of troops. After a Troublesome Indian. Walker, Minn., Oct. 11.—A courier from Flatmouth’s village says a party of five agency Indians has gone after Bog-Ah-Ma-Ge-Shig with the intention of killing him. The Indians are rela- tivesof William Russell, the Indian po- liceman, who was killed last Wednes- day by the soldiers while attempting todesert. The avenging Indians, how- ever, say the chief they are after was the cause of Russell's death by bring- ing on the trouble. Other Indians are also waiting to get a shot at the old chief. They have been assured by the deputy United States marshal that nothing will be done to them by the authorities if they take the old chief's scalp. Looks Like Another Fight. Walker, Minn., Oct. 11.—Commis sioner of Indian affairs Jones is in con- sultation to-day with Acting Indian Agent Hart. He came here to pacify the hostiles, but finds the situation beyond his control. United States Marshal O’Connor, in summing up the situation, this morning said: ‘‘It isas bad now as ever. There is no more evidence that the hostiles will sur- render than there was a week ago and I believe we will have to go after them and this means a bloody fight and may make trouble that will not end soon. Wired for More Soldiers. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 11.—Gen Bacon this morning wired to Col Sturgis, assistant adjutant general in charge of the department of Dakota, to send all the remaining able-bodied soldiers of the Third left at Fort Snelling. There are only about 25 available men and these will be sent to Walker to-morrow morning. TROUBLE AT P WHEELER. Members of the Tenth Cavalry Object to the Arrest of a Comrade and a Seri- ous Fight Resuits. Huntsville, Ala, Oct. 11.—One sol- dier was killed, two fatally wounded and two seriously wounded at Camp Wheeler to-day. Soon after the ar- rival of the Tenth cavalry, one of the members was arrested by the provost guard for disorderly conduct and an attempt was made by his comrades to release him. One wasshot, whereupon the negroes in the train seized their arms and shooting became general. Three Tenth cavalrymen were wound- ed, two of them fatally. The provost guard lost Corporal McLaughlin, com- pany L, Sixteenth infantry, killed. Privates Miles, company M, and Larkin, company L, were seriously wounded. The Strike in Faris Spreading. Paris, Oct. 1.—In spite of the opti- mistic predictions of the end of the strike being near, the strike continues tospread. The bricklayers and wood- earvers to-day decided to join the strik- ers. The city, however, is perfectly quiet, but the enormous increase in the strength of the garrison points to the fact that the government fears political rather than labor troubles No conflict between the soldiers and Strikers has occurred up to the present, but not since 1570 has Paris looked so werlike. Both Regiments Will Be Kept. Washington, Oct. 11.—The war de- partment will conform to the modified request of Gov. Holcomb in relation to the Nebraska regiments, that the num- ber in each company of the First and Third regiments be reduced to the minimum of $1 soldiers, thus allowing & number of discharges from both reg- iments. This will keep both regiments in the service. The First Nebraska is at Manila and the Third, Col. Bryan's, is at Jacksonville.
