Clayson and his companions, who we outbound from Dawson, had several thousand dollars in their pockets, and it was concluded that murder had been added to robbery, and the bodies effectually disposed of. Some short time after, a tough char- acter of the border, giving the name of O'Brien, was arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the supposed crime, and although the evidence against him was not sufficient to hold him forthe grave offense charged aist him, the police succeeded by ing forward other less import- he was brin ant misdemeanors, of which plainly guilty, in holding him in cus- tody while, with the assistance of a Pinkerton man, engaged by Clayson’s relatives, they industriously pursued republican party stood for interna- tional bimetallism and would use all honest endeavor to bring about such an agreement between the commercial nations of the world are now treated as atioke, inade for the sole purpose of fooling the honest bi- metallists of the country, by thus trifling with great principles, re- tain their votes. On the 14th inst. when the currency bill, as reported back to the house by the senate and house conferees, was under considera- tion—and which finally passed and is now the law af the land—the gen- tleman in charge of that bill was ask- if the bonds (which are refunded and made payable in gold), in the event of international bimetal- lism could be secured, could be paid in silver coin. He answered: ‘Unquestionably not.’ In answer to the further question if the refunding of those bonds according to the pro- visions of the bill would encourage bimetallism in the United States, he made the following response: “There is absolutely nothing in this bill that gives the slightest hope for interna- allism under present con- We hold out no encourage- ment for that, and I will say frankly that the provisions of this bill make it practically and absolutely impossi- ble for this government ever to have international bimetallism or the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.

Now, by the Amur, comes the news of the bodies of the murdered trio. Where the bodies have been definitely located is about three miles this side of Minto, on the river, and not close to the trail, so that the theory that three men following each other in the daylight, one man pushing or riding a bic having all accidentally fellen into thesame hole, is altogether untenable.
