Thurston of Omaha, Neb., who is now in New York, said to a Tribune reporter last night: “Our Nebraska farmers are hard up. The corn crop of the state has been nearly de- stroyed by the drouth. I saw a careful esti- mate of the crop a few days ago, which said that there would be only 15 per cent of @n average crop. As regards politics, the election of a United States Senator is en- grossing a good deal of attention. Bryan has made a bid for it by coming out for free silver, hoping to get the populist and demo- cratic vote in his favor. If elected, his support will have to come in the proportion of 3 to 1 from the populists, as the latter will have at least 3 to 1 in the Nebraska legislature as against the republicans, think we are very certain to carry the legis’ature with a clear republican major- ity. We lacked but five votes of a majority two years ago, when I was the caucus nom- inee for United States Senator. The pop- ulists are not as strong as they were. Many of them, formerly republicans, are coming back into the party. In the two Corgress districts now represnted by the populists, McKeighan and Kem, we elected only four members cf the state legislature two years ago. his fall 1 think we are certain to elect fiftezn memcrs of the legis- lature in those two Congress districts, mak- ing a gain of eleven, and there is a strong probability of electiag two republicans in the places of McKeighan and Kem. “Tnere is a fierce contest throughout the state between the administration and anti- administration democrats, or perhaps they should be called sound-money and unlimit- ed-silver democrats, The-free silverites ex- pect to indorse the populist nominee for governor, and possibly other nominees on that state ticket, while the administration or sound money democrats are for straight nomirations and democratic principles. Whichever side prevails the result must necessarily be more or less favorable to re- publicans. “I believe our party's chances are equally good in Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and adaho. Very much depends on success in these states, so far as future republican legislation is concerned, as there is a Sen- ator to ke elected in each of them, and two in Wyoming. The whole cuuntry, there- fore, ought to be interested as never before in republican success in that patt of the west. If only a small part of the effort that has been made in Maine will be made by the republicans of the eastern and mi le states to assist us in the west, the re- sults which I have prophesied can be made certain.” ee.

SOUTH COREA RISES Japanese Forces Likely to Be Hemmed In, REPORTS FAVORABLE 10 THE CHINESE Expedition Forced to Return to Fusan With Heavy Loss. BLACK FLAGS IN FORMOSA SHANGHAI, China, September 14.—If the reports received here from Corea are to be believed, there would seem to be no doubt that the Japanese forces operating against the Chinese are likely to be hemmed in. Dispatches received here from Fusan bring additional confirmation of the reports that the whole of southern Corea has risen egainst the Japanese. It also seems to be certain that the Japanese force of 2,000 men who attempted w march fromFusan to Seoul have met with disaster, which compelled them return to the former place, with 1,200 of their number missing. From this it is judged that serious fight- ing must have taken place, as it is not be- Heved that the 1,200 missing soldiers will reach Fusan. A force of 200 fresh troops has arrived at Fusan in order to protect the Japanese settlement at that place against an anticipated attack upon the part of the armed bands of Tongnaks gathering in the neighborhood. Later—Further details received from Corea. say that the Japanese force of 2,000 len was sent to attempt to open up a line of comnunivation between Fusan and Seoul. Their advance was opposed by the Coreans in force, who eventually compelled the, Japanese to return to Fusan, with a loss of 1,200 men, as before cabled. ‘The 2,000 men sent to reinforce the Japan- ese are now guarding Sorio, which is ex- Pected to’be aitacked by the Tor The Formosa Campaign, General Liu-Yung-Fu, the prominent black flag chief of Annan, has received crders from the throne to depart as soon as possible for the island of Formosa, where he is to act as assistant imperial high war commissioner. General Liu-Yung-Fu, at the end of August, attempted to transport 500 soldiers from Swatow to Formosa. But, hearing rumors that a Japaneses quadron was cruis- ing in the vicinity of Formosa, the captain cf the steainer engaged to transport the Chinese troops would not put to sea, in spite of the entreaties and threats of the black flag gereral. Nothing daunted, Gen. iiu-Yung-Fu succeeded in smuggling his men across to the island in small parties, in any boat he could obtain possession of, and whenever there was a chance of so doing. In this connection it is reported that the transport steamer referred to: was after ward overhauled by three Japanese cruis- ers, who sent boats of armed men to board her. The Jepanese oflicers demanded the ship's papers, carefully examined them, and then searched the steamer, evidently hav- ing received information to the effect that General Liu-Yung-Fu was likely to be on board of her. A disastrous fire, attended with consider- able loss of life, is reported to have oc- curred at Chung-King, on the evening of August 25. The cerflagration is said to have raged all night, and before midnight the whole of the southeastern rertion of the city was in flames. About thirty persons are known to have perished during the fire, and it is probable that this number is far less than that which will eventually. be shown to represent the actual loss of life. About 2,000 buildings were destroyed, including Part of the Taotai’s Yamen (city hall) and three Chinese temples. No foreign houses were burned. The Tactai’s wife, who was in feeble health, succumbed to the shock. The loss by the fire will amount to 000,000 taels, Chung-King is situated on the uy per portion of the Yang Tse Kiang. HONG KONG, China, September 14.— Chinese agents are offering bribes to the soldiers of the British garrison in order to induce them to desert and enter the Chinese service. The commander of the British forces at Hong Kong has issued an order warning the troops against listening to the advances of the Chinese. Telegraphic Service to Japan. NEW YORK, September 14.—The Western Union Telegraph Company central cable office reports that the Japanese land lines are restored, but traffic is subjected to much delay. The Anglo-American Telegraph Company this morning announced that the Great Northern Company reports the Japanese lines restored, but traffic is subject to much delay. ‘The Commercial Cable Company today ts- sued the following notice: “The Great Northern Company reports latest messages from Hiogo show over sixteen hours in transit, and from Yokohama over twenty- six hours. The Japanese lines are restored, but messages are subject to heavy delay. “The Eastern Company advises mail for Reuinon closes at Seychelles at 3 p.m., 16th instant.” — MR. WILSON’S HEALTH BETTER. The Ocean Trip, He Says, Has Been a Great Benefit. LONDON, September 14.—Mr. W. L, Wil- son, Congressman from West Virginia, has arrived here and was today interviewed at the Hotel Savoy. He said he was perfectly well, his health having improved greatly on the voyage over. He was here, he said, merely on a pleasure trip and would sail from Southampton for New York on Sep- tember 29. In regard to the tariff bill he said he con- sidered the bill which the House of Kepre- sentatives passed a far better measure than the bill passed by the Senate, though, even with this, he believed that Americans would be able to hold their own with the trading Borld better than they were fornierly able to do. Mr. Wilson did not give a direct answer to the question as to how the bill would affect British trade. He said the bill was purely American and was framed for Americans, ‘The democrats, he said, were a low taciff party. He would not venture to say wheth- er they were progressing toward free trade, nor would he say whether the party in- tended to make any further move in that direction, —_—- —__ IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY. It is Not Believed That a Strong Re- vival is in Progress, CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 14.—The Iron Trade Review this week says: It has been evident in the past ten days that the price of preduction in iron and steel Js in advance of current demand. The un- certain factor in the problem of prices is the extent of the accumulated orders that have supported the operations of furnaces, steel works and iron mills for a month or more. New demand, since the passage of the tariff bill, has not aggregated enough nor has it been of the character to warrant the belief that a strong revival is in prog- ress, With a producing capacity in iron and steel, built and gauged for prosperity, it rust not be expected that there will be an immediate expansion of buying from the shrunkem volume of a year of depression to a volume that will fill all the wrinkled folds of furnace, converting and rolling plants. If is generally conceded that the output of most mills in the past month will exceed three-fourths of the average rate in the first half of '93, —_——. —_ New Mexico Populist Convention, ALBUQUERQUE, N.

The Lucania’s daily auns: were 447, 512; 404, 514, 506 and 337, making a total of 2,810 knots, her average speed being 21.84 knots. : A singular feature of the: trip is the fact that the Lucania’s records for both the eastward and westward voyages are identi- cally the same, namely, five days, eight hours and thirty-eight minates, but on the present eastward trip. she covered a dis- tance of 23 miles more than she did on her record-breaking trip last month. The Lucania by her ,presnt performance firmly established her., position as “Queen of ‘the Sea,” having crosséd the ocean in both directions in less time than any other steamer. She holds the highest average hourly. speed record, 21.8) knots, made in June last, and her 560 knots covered in one day in October, 1888, is still the record for the longest day's run. The probabilities are that there will be no more record breaking this year, as Sep- tember gales are about due. The Austro-Hungarian Budget.

He Wants for the State the Deposits of Those Dying Intestate. PORTLAND, Ore., September 14.—Infor- mation, with interrogatories and an order of court, made by Judge Stearns, have been served on a number of banks in this city by District Attorney Hume, appearing for the state of Oregon. The information purports to be issved by direction of Gov. Pennoyer. It alleges that the banks for the past seven years have received divers and sundry de- posits, the depositors of which have died intestate in this state, and that such depos- its are in the custody of the banks; that the deposits have escheated to the state of Oregon, and that in order to recover said escheated property it is necessary to in- stitute actions at law. Gov. Pennoyer said: “The instructions given by me to the dis- trict attorney to file a bill of discovery, re- quiring bank officials to answer certain in- terrogatories, I was compelled by law to give, and no trifling will be allowed in re- gard to the matter. If the courts issue definite orders, and bunk officers disregard them, they must be punished for contempt of court; and if there is no law sufficient to compel the answer, J will ask the next legislature to enact one. If, however, the courts trifle with the law by not stipulating a definite and limited time, I will ask the next legislature to remove ‘the recalcitrant judges from office. The law must be en- forced. The banks may run the federal government, but I do not propose that they will run the state of Oregon as long as I am governor.” It is understood that! twenty-seven banks in this district have been served with rotices, and others throughout the state will receive a similar notice, —_—_ DIRECTORS WERE NEGLIGENT, Charges Made by the Receiver of a Sedalia Bank, SEDALIA, Mo., September 14.—W. A. Latimer, receiver of the First National Bank of this city, has filed a suit in the United States circuit court at Jefferson City for $358,000 against the directors of the suspended institution. ‘The petition is of a sensational nature, and makes public for the first time the alleged methods of President Cyrus Newkirk and Cashier J. C. Thompson, as well as those of the.di- rectors, Ir conducting the business of the bank. J. C. Thompson, the cashier, is a fugitive in Mexico, and Cyrus Newkirk, the presi- dent, is now residing in California. It is charged that the directors allowed Newkirk to overdraw his account to the amount of $101,000, and permitted Thomp- son to gamble away $71,000 in stocks, wheat and real estate deals, besides allow- ing insolvent parties, without security, to draw $9,000 out of the vaults, ORDERS FROM THE VATICAN Father Ducey Sending to Rome Information About the Lexow Investigation. He Atteuds the Sessions of the Com- mittee—The Deep Interest Shown by the Pope. ‘The New York World today prints a com- munication from Father Ducey, the well- known New York Catholic priest, giving his views of the investigation of the police scandal by the Lexow committee. Father Ducey attends the sessions of the commit- tee, and his summing up of the facts brought out is not based on hearsay. He says: “Remarkable as were the revelations before the committee in its first sessions, still more astounding and wonderful is their work since Monday last. The facts presented to the public during the present week must appeal to every well-disposed Person and make each and every honest citizen of this community, be he Tammany Hall democrat, independent or republican, ask: ‘What is my obligation before God and man in view of the evidence before me?’ “I do not think that any father of a fam- ily, any brother who has a sense of his obligation to the purity of his family name, can rest in peace and claim that he has any idea of the obligations to family purity unless he shows that he is roused to indig- mation and action to preserve the good mame and honor of this fair city.” Duty of the Clergy. In conclusion, he says: “The World asks me if the religious bodies in New York should not make every effort to arouse the various congregations to a sense of the danger to which this great city is exposed, and it further isks me if I believe the statement made in the World a few days ago that the vatican had taken a deep in- terest in the proceedings of the Lexow committee and its disclosures, for the rea- son that the fair name of the church and Catholic morals were endangered by the asserted affiliation with the name of Tam- many. ~ “I sincerely hope that all ministers of re- ligion will see the necessity of safe-guari- ing, more vigorously and vigilantly than ever, the peace and morals of the city and the nation. The World of this morning, in the editorial introduction to the story of the Lexow investigation, has these few significant words: “Yesterday there were several priests and ministers present and it looks as if the clergy have realized that there is great work for them to do.” A Clerical League Suggested. Dr. Parkhurst, who has done so much and done it so fearlessly, should continue to have the glory and merit that belong to him, and he and men like Bishop Potter on the non-Catholic side of the house might deem it wise to organize a clerical league for aggressive and protective work against everything that is vicious in the public life of our city. Do not misunderstand me when I speak ef protection. Such a protective association of ministers of religion will not receive any monthly allowance for the protection and perpetuity of vice. 1 know the truth of the statement made in the World that the vatican had looked into the reported condition of things In New York, and I am delighted. It is very for- tunate that people have been unkind enough to couple Tammany corruption with the Catholic name, and it is very fortunate for our good name that the Catholics as weil as the non-Catholics of New York can have the assurance that Leo XIII and those close to him in the vatican show that they are Vigilant sentinels on the watchtower, and that the good name of Catholic is sacredly guarded by them in this great and far- distant republic. A few days ago I received letters from a very distinguished dignitary very near the holy father. The first letter is dated Rome, August 17, and a second letter bears the date Rome, August 22. Both of these communications make ref- erence to the Lexow investigation. Here is an extract from the first: His Orders From Rome. “A few days ago,” says my correspondent, “I had a long interview with Cardinal —, and had to go into details about the Lexow investigation and its disclosures, and the history of Tammany.” The second letter has the following pas- sage: “The communications that have reached the vatican in relation to Tam- many, ete., have certainly produced a deep impressio I have been requested in these communi- cations to put certain information in form and forward it immediately to the vatican. I am delighted at the interest for a moral purification by the head of the church, and I trust that my non-Catholic brethren will be kind enough to stop impugning the fair name cf our church, and not hold it re- sponsible for the corruption that exists. ‘The priesthood is deeply interested in all that concerns the welfare and purity of this city, and in its ranks there are men who have sacrificed themselves in every way to add to the fair name of New York and of the whole country. In further confirmation of the extracts which I have submitted I might refer to a telegram directing me how to act in certain public matters. From these letters and telegrams you may understand why I am just now watching the ‘Lexow investigation with peculiar in- terest. a TESTIMONY AGAINST DEBS, Newspaper Reporters on the Stand in the Chicago Prosecution. The Bovernment attorney in the Debs case dt Chicago, yesterday, asked that President Debs and the other defendants be called upon to testify. The defense ob- jected and Judge Woods allowed the mat- ter to pass without ruling. Roy Baker, a reporter, was the first wit- ness. His testimony related to a manifesto against the Pullman Company, issued by Debs. Jos. Elbers, night clerk at the Leland Hotel, testified that he had delivered nu- merous telegrams to Debs and that the latter had read them in his presence. Wallace Rice, a reporter, who, as a dele- gate from a local unien, was present at the A. R. U. convention, told of the scenes during the consideration of the Pullman strike. The witness said that Debs made a fierce speech urging the boycott and de- claring that he would rather see the A. R. U. go to wreck in so righteous a cause than drag along uselessly. Howard, Mr. Rice said, was much more conservative and op- posed the ordering of the boycott. Manager Fulford of the Western Union Was recalied and produced a telegram from Mrs. Leland Stanford to Debs on July 2, asking him to grant permission to train- men to take her private car to San Fran- cisco. Miss Brecker, a telegraph operator, tes- tied that Debs had replied to Mrs. Stan- ford’s telegram that the trainmen would take her car through. This was the first evidence that Debs had personally sent messages relative to the strike. J. B. King, jr, a switchman, testified re- garding the strike on the Illinois Centra and at the conclusion of the testimony, Mr. Walker announced that the government case was Closed, with the exception of the production of the Pullman contracts.

The past fortnight has been an important epoch to the 300 Osages who live upon this reservation. The annual election of officers, which is usually attended with much in- « on Gaye sud trom 6's0 6 tateraay seein eat terest, was an event of more than ordinary MEMEEES OF Tan Bee importance to the big chiefs of the nation. EXCHANGE, In the contest, which was exciting and animated, Jim Bigheart was chosen chief, and Bob Whitehorn assistant. The nation is divided Into districts instead of counties, and the councilmen and sheriffs chosen were as follows: Pawhuska district, Pv-a- hun-kah, Saucy Chief and C. N. Prudom; sheriff, Edward Chotea. Sait Creek dis- trict, Ne-kah-we-she-tun-kah, Peter Big- heart and Tsa-mah-hah; sheriff, Thomas ‘Tall Chief.

This is the headquarters of all the big chiefs, and it is here that the plans are laid for legisiation by the Indian council. This place is very near the center of the finest body of land in tne entire Indian country. ‘The Osage reservation embraces over 2,000 #quare miles, and more than one million acres, which will, sooner or later, be opened “9 settlement. The Osages are the richest tribe of In- dians in the world. There are not more than 300 men, women and chiidren, but they receive annually from the government about $360 for each member of the tribe in in- terest on the purchase price of lands svid many years ago. While there is an induce- ment for the Osages to raise large families, the tribe is steadily decreasing in numbers, and it will not be many years before the race is extinct. In addition to their an- nual interest received from the government, they derive a large sum each year from the rental of their lands to cattlemen for graz- ing purposes. The Osage Indians are constitutionally lazy. They realize that they do not have to werk, that the government will provide for them, so they spend their days in idle- ress, If they squander all their money this year they will have plenty next year, and soone* or later their million acres of lands will be sold to the government, and that will swell their income to a large sum. 1419 F st., Glover building. of “Sivears.

Spa- cious homes, beautiful lawns, and brightly painted outbuildings may be seen here and there. These homes are occupied by the more frugal and saving of the tribe. In many of these prairie palaces are private teachers for the children, besides drivers, servants—all of the Caucasian race—who wait on the pleasure of the swarthy red- skins. One will see carriages that would grace Pennsylvaia avenue, or a New York boulevard, smoothly rolling over the prairie, drawn by horses that boast of the best blood. Out in the country, far away from the hum of the busy street or trade center, lives the richest Indian of the Osage tribe. His name is Frank Denoya. He is a leader in society, and his advice is sought upon all questions which trouble or perplex the big chiefs. He has recently moved into a $15,000 mansion that is replete with every modern convenience—baths, steam heat, gas, etc. It would do credit to Michigan avenue, in Chicago. It was planned by one of the best architects in the west. This rich Indian seems to have had an eye to business. He is the father of twelve fat and hearty children, each of whom gets $30 per month from the government, be- sides a land rental of $3 an acre on WW res of bottom land. The family, beside: has the rental of 1,200 acres of upland. making an annual income of $12,000 free from taxes. Mr. Denoya’s children are educated free, if he desires it. He is well educated, and is a reader of newspapers and magazines. Go into his modern home any time and you will find the latest mag- azines on the center table in his library, and he wik discues intelligently any sub. ject. In talking of his people he said: “The Indians might all have been rich if they had acted with sense and judzment. We Gealt with the government like business men, and were accorded honest treatment.

The Associated Press correspondent in Bluefields, Mosquito coast, under date of September 7, describes the manner in which fourteen foreigners, taken prisoners at Biluefields, were treated in Managua. They were tried at once by President Zelaya, who treated them quite cordially. After a brief conference, the prisoners were sent to a hotel and next morning ten were or- dered to pack up and prepare for a journey. Eight were sent to Corriento, cn the Pa- cific coast, where they remained until Au- gust 20, when, in the afternoon, a south- bound Pacific steamer carried them to Punta Arenas, Costa Rica. They did not know even when leaving the hotel what action had been decided upon, but they concluded that they were exiled. The four remaining prisoners will be sent to the four principal cities of Nicaragua, where they will suffer for perhaps months. Minister Baker Objects. Minister Baker was informed of the ar- rival of the American prisoners and im- mediately called upon them. The exact state of affairs was related in Cetail. Dur- ing the course of the conversation he la- mented the course adopted by Capt, Sum- ner in not releasing the prisoners Minister Baker prepared a most vigorous protest and had it delivered at once to President Zelaya.
