SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED POCATELLO, Idaho, Jvly 22._From pres- ent tndicaticns the conflict between the settlers in the Jackson’s Hole country in rertheastern Idaho and ncrthwestern Wyo- ming and the Indians is not atan end. Al- though news of the trovble has been sup- Pressed, it is now positively known that at least four Indians were Filled. Just a week ago word was received at the Bannock agency, twelve miles north of here, that several hundred Bannock Indians and Shoshone Indians had come in conflict with the settlers, and all the available Indian police were sent out to bring the hunters back. Todey the wanderers arrived once more on their reservation, but they are far from being in as peaceful a frame of mind as when they left, for in a wagon ac- companying the returning band were the bedies of four dead bucks. It has been given out all along that only one Indian was killed. and the trouble has been made as light of ag possible. White Bear, cap- tain of the Indian police, admitted that he brought back the four buc! and the trou- ble was regarded so sericusly by Indian Agent Teter that he himself went to as- Ist in starting the wayward hunters home. The band of between two and three hun- dred, which arrived today, is in a surly mood. Threaten to Mnke Trouble. Of course, they talked little to white men, but one of the bucks said they were only coming to the reservation to get more am- munition, end then were going back to kill the “whole white man.” Similar threats have caused the present vneasiness among those in Wyoming, and unless the Indians return quietly to their homes Agent Teter will request that the seventh infantry from Fort Russell, at Cheyenne, or the elghth cavalry from Boise be at once sent to this point. = The settlers in the vicinity of the recent trouble are very much disturbed, and many of them are leaving their farms to get nearer to civilization or are banding to- gether for protection. They complain bit- terly that the red hunters have no respect whatever for their rights or property. Crops are trodden under the feet of their jonies_and women insulted. There are .800 Bannock and Shoshone Indians on the reservation. J. C. Houtz, a wealthy ranchman of Soda Springs, and one of his herders, while trying to cross Salt river to Houtz’s ranch, seventy+five miles north- east of here, were stopped with rifles in the hands of the Indian police. The po- lice said the Indians were on the war path. Mr. Houtz says the police told him that the Indians had killed a white man, his wife and children, and that the settlers had rallied and killed six Indians. Gov. Richards’ Assurance. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 22.—Gov. Rich- ards has received a number of anxious in- quiries from eastern friends of members of the nineteenth annual geological sur- vey from Princeton College, now making a trip in northwestern Wyoming, who have been reported captured by Bannocks and massacred. Gov. Richards is certain that no harm has befallen the students. The fight between settlers and Bannock Indians occurred July 4 in Jackson’s Hole region near the western Wyoming line, directly south of the Yellowstone National Park. On July 5 the Princeton students were at Lander, in Fremont county, over 100 miles from the scene of the trouble. The ex- pedition remained in Lander for several days and then proceeded slowly up the Big Wind river toward the northwest in search of specimens and to examine the geological formations west of Fort Wash- akle. The country in which they were to travel is comparatively well settled, and for at least fifty miles along the Big Wind river there are numerous ranches. The country to be examined by them is within easy reach of Fort Washakie, where there are two companies of United States in- fantry and a number of Indian police. From Fort Washakte. NEW YORK, July 22—Rerorts that the party of Princeton students engaged in geological explorations in Wyoming had been captured by Bannock Indians caused much apprehension among the friends of the students in this city. Robert F. Little, whose gon, Robert F. Little, jr., is with the immediately sent the following telegram: “Commandant, Fort Washakie, Wyo.: Telegraph immediately if any truth in rumor that Princeton boys captured by Indians. R. FORSYTH LITTLE.” ‘Mr. Little received the following tele- gram today: “Fort Washakle, July 22.— R. Forsyth Little: No touth in report, nothing known here. CRAMER, Com.” ‘The last place the party were heard from 1s Crow creek, on Big Wind river, forty- six miles from Fort Washakle. The report that the Princeton geological expedition, which is now in Wyoming, may have met with trouble at the hands of the Bannock Indians has caused considerable apprehension, owing to the fact that a Washington bey is in the party and a number of the other young men are well known in this city. The Washington boy is Talbot Eugene Pierce, 1119 17th street, a son of Mr. Perry B. Pierce, an examiner in_ the patent office. The party of students left Princeton on June 20 fer Denver, their object being to collect geological and fossil specimens from the-Bad Lands in Colorado and Wyoming. The party is in charge of Prof. J. B. Hatcher and 1s composed of the following students: J. H. Scheide, 1896, of Titusville, Pa.; A. G. Millbank of New York city; E. R. Otheman, 1895, cf New York city; J. W. Garrett, 1895, of Baltimore; L. F. Pease, 1895, of Germantown, Pa.; J. H. Brooks, 1895, of Scranton, Pa. A. A. Brownlee, Seminary of Indiana, Pa.; Boyer Davis? 18M, of Philadelphia; T. E. Pierce, 1896, of Washington; A. L. P. Dennis, 1896, of New York city; Walter Moses, 1895, of Trenton, N. J., and A. F. Little, jr., 1896, of New York city. : * Stopped in Washington on Their Way On their way west the party stopped in Washington for several hours. They were traveling in the private car belonging to Mrs. J. Harrison Garrett of Baltimore, the sister-in-law of Mr. Robert Garrett, and herself a woman of great wealth. She had two sons in the graduating class at Princeton this year, and has made her heme at Princeton while her boys were in college. She took one of the handsomest houses in town and kept open house at all times for the members of the senior class. She also had a younger son in the sopho- more class. One of her sons is a member of the western party. Walter Moses is a member of one of the wealthiest and best- Known families of Trenton, and, in fact, all the boys represent families of means, for in these Princeton expeditions {t is customary for the members to pay their share of the expenses.of the summer, which amounts to a very considerable sum. Former Expeditions of This Kind. Expeditions of this sort have been sent out from Princeton almost every summer for the past twelve or fifteen years, and have resulted in securing for Princeton one of the finest geological collections in the world and in placing that Institution in the first rank in geological work. In former years the expeditions were always in charge of Prof. William B. Scott, who holds the chair of geology. Several ‘years ago, however, through the efforts of some of the alumni, a eum was raised sufficient to secure the permanent services of Mr. Hatcher, who is one of the best known collectors in the west, and who was at one time employed by Prof. Marsh cf Yale. Since his services were secured by Prince- ton he his spent each summer in the field and the succeeding winter in Princeton as- sisting in the work of arranging the col- lection and assorting the specimens. Since the college began sending out parties of this sort a yery Jarge section of the west has been covered, god a great deal has been added to the knowledge of the geo- logical history of the United States. Some years ago Prof, Scott conceived the idea THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

While they have no con- nection with the geological survey in any way, these expeditions usually receive con- siderable assistance from the Interior and War Departments in the way of maps, data, and sometimes equipments. How the Parties Are Made Up. The parties are usually made up of the graduating students, and appointments are eagerly sought for, as it makes a pleasant experience for the young men, and gives them a novel outing in the west prior to settling down to active work. As a rule the parties are made up of about a dozen. They go to the nearest large town to the fleld which it is expected to work, and there they secure their outfit. A big four- horse wagon 1s utilized for carrying the camp outfit and for bringing back the spec- imens. The young men themselves travel on horseback, and the ‘outfij" makes quite a formidable appearance. ‘The party is always supplied with rifles and ammuni- tion, and on several occasions in the past expeditions of this sort have been threat- ened by hostile Indians, but there has never been any serious mishap. The trip 4s usually confined to the two months of July and August. It is customary to have one cr more older men in the party. In tho present instance Mr. A. A. Brownlee was a member of the class of ‘8, and has since been in the theological seminary at Princeton in addition to acting in the ca- pacity of tutor to the Garrett boys. The party is also supplied with a guide and a teamster, who are secured on the field. It fs thought that if the emergency arose the party could put up a pretty good fight in self-defense. : The Bannock Indians. According to information received in this city, the Bannock Indians left their reser- vation near one of the army posts in Wyoming several weeks ago on a hunting expedition. Bad feeling was caused by complaints made by the whites to the ef- fect that they were unlawfully killing game, and this got the Indians in trouble with the state authorities. A fight ensued, in which several Indians were killed, and since then they have been wandering at large through a wild section of Wyoming. Letter From Young Pierce. P. B. Pierce, father of T. E. Pierce, one of the party of Princétonlans said to have been captured by the Bannock Indians in Idaho, this morning received a letter from his son, dated July 10, with a postscript dated July 15. The postscript was written at the mouth of Perry creek, about sixty miles from Jackson’s Hole, where the troubles are sald to have occurred. Young Pierce stated that the party was about to start for the Yellowstone through the Union pass. Gov. Richards’ dispatch to the Sec- retary of the Interior last week fixed the date of the fight as July 13. As the students could not have reached the locality before the 18th, Mr. Pierce entertains little anxiety in regard to them. Prof. Hatcher is said to be experienced in Indian ways, and Mr. Pierce bas full confidence in his ability to handle the party safely. No Knowledge at the War Department If the party of students 1s in any danger the officials of the War Department are not aware of it, as the matter has not been brought to their attention in any form call- ing for the least action on their part. Gen. Vincent, who, a3 acting adjutant general, would be first advised of any information in the possession of the military cencerning the party, said today that he knew nothing whatever of the affair beyond what he had read in the newspapers. In his opinion, there was no cause for apprehension as to the safety of the students. The Bannock Indians, he said, are not on the war pat! and would not be likely to molest travelers. Although they are off their reservation, it is probably only in the pursuit of game. They seldom make trouble, and are gener- ally regarded as peaceable Indians. Al- though no orders have been issued on the subject, Gen. Vincent said he took it for granted that the troops in the vicinity will afford all assistance in their power to persons -known to be in distress. It was his opinion, however, that the present re- port originated with some over-anxious parent, and that time wil! show that there ‘was no actual cause for alarm. —_—__+o+__ SEEING INTERESTING SIGHTS. A Large Excursion Visits Old Point, Hampton and Newport News. Many representative colored citizens of this city spent yesterday in visiting the garrison at Old Point Comfort, the Normal School at Hampton, Va., Newport News and historic Yorktown, in Virginia. They constituted a tourist party, which left this city on Saturday for Norfolk, Va., from which point they visited yesterday these places of interest. The trip was conducted under the auspices of the National Steam- boat Company, and Mr. F. D. Lee, the general agent of the company, and Mr. O. D. Morris, jr., the secretary, arranged for ‘the trip. Maj. C. A. Fleetwood, Mr. R. W. Thempkins and David A. Warner, esq., composed the committee of citizens which conducted ths tour. Several hundred col- ored people made up the party, and were transported to the different sites on the steamer George Leary. They arrived home this morning, and related many interesting incidents in connection with the trip. ad His Name Omitted. The name of Mr. F. C. Roberts was in- advertently omitted from the list of speak- ers at the great mass meeting in favor of foe stikers held in Anacostia Friday night LIVELY RAID. Crap and Poker Games Came to a Sudden Stop. Yesterday morning about 1 o'clock there Was an exciting time incident to a raid made by the officers of the sixth precinct on Fred Dyson’s store and home, No. 630 H street northwest. The raiding party was led by Sergeant Lombardy,,Policemen Har- tigan and Payne being mémhers of it. On the ground floor of the little’ frame struc- ture there is a store whey® snow balls, candies and lunchés ar¢’'sdld. When the officers reached the house Officer Hartigan rapped on the door and,Dyson, appearing at the upper window, inquired: “What do you want?” “I want to come in.” “Who are you?” ys ‘I’m Mr. Brown, don’t you, know me?" “Oh, yes,” said Dyson, ;‘wait a minute. The officer waited, and when the proprie- tor opened the door and rpcognized the officer he made an effort; to close the door in his face, but was not successful. Dyson and the officer had a scuffle, but the mem- bers of the raiding party succeeded in getting upstairs, and there they brought a game of crap and a gartr? ®f poker to a sudden termination. Beynamen jumped from the second-story window.and gave the neighbors the impression that , burglars were about. Cries of “murder,”’ “police” and “thief” were raised; and the excitement subsided only when it was known that the police were making a rald. Eighteen men were in the place, and the officers captured: two sets of bones and five packs of cards. Many of the players were arrested as witnesses, and Charles Brown, whom, it is alleged, “cut” the game; Was arrested with Dyson as a principal. The defendants gave real estate security for their appearance next week for trial. se Attempted Robbery. A bold attempt at highway robbery was made Saturday night near 6th and Q streets, so the police have been informed. According to the ccmplaint, a colored man named Wilson Jackson, employed as mes- senger by J. D. Burns, the tallor, was on an errand delivering a suit of clothes and a pair of trousers, when he was assaulted by two men, who tried to rob him, Being a muscular man, Jackson held on to his clothing and returned the blows that were showered upon him. He succeeded in frightening off his assailants, and then gave their descriptions to the police. ee Alleged Speak-Easy. Sergeant Daley and Policemen Baur and Knupfer raided an alleged “speak-easy” in a South Washington alley late last night and routed a crowd of colored men who 5 were indulging in beer drinking. There ; was a keg of beer on tap, and a full keg on ice. Israel Foster and Thomas Holmes, the alleged proprietors, were not anxious to claim ownership, and the drinkers were al- so anxious to get out when the police ap- peared. Holmes attempted to jump out the window, but Sergt. Daley grabbed Lim end held him by the leg of his trousers until the other policemen arrived, and then he was pulled in the window and arrested. . . ‘The two men, alleged owners of the pl&ce, were in court today, charged with keeping a “speak-easy,” and the case went over until tomorrow. i Watched the Window. This morning in the Police Court Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting attorney, called Judge Scott's attention to charges of in- decent expcsure against two young men, Edward I. Goodwin and Harry Moran, who live at No, 40 I street northwest, opposite St. Aloyeius Church. Colored people living on Defrees street complained to the police that the young men had been in the habit of showing themselves at their back win- dow, and had made it unpleasant for them, Saturday Policeman Bean watched the house, and claims that he saw conduct which justified him in’ making the arrests. Four charges have been filed‘against them, and they are under bonds‘for-their appear- ance. fares c = : Garbage Investjizations. Dr. Woodward, health officer for the Dis- trict, returned Saturday -ievening from an irspection tour of the nerth!for the pur- pose of investigating seteraf’ systems for the disposal of garbage,, He, investigated the Engle, Brownlee and improved Mertz crematories, and during,, hig absence he visited Staten Island, Long Island and Camden, N. J. He will report, to the Com- missioners in the néar fiture‘on the rela- tive merits of the different systems, but he sald this morning that, inasmuch as he had not yet gore over the eptire field, he had not committed himself in favor of any cne method, and will probably not go to that extent in his forthcoming report. ——s—— 1 The Damaged Police Bont. The Commissioners today forwarded a letter in which they asked that they be al- lowed to use the fish commission boat Petrel pending the necessary repairs to the police boat Joe Blackburn, which was bad- ly damaged by fire last week. After a thorough investigation, Harbormaster Sut- ton has come to the conclusion that the fire on the Blackburn had its origin in the boiler room. The boat was insured, and it will probably not be very long beforé will be in condition for use again. Just now the harbor police are compelled to rely on their small boats for work on the river, and this Involves no small amount of labor on a hot day, _———— A full sult of masculine apparel. was found last night in one of the bath houses at Atlantic City, and no one has appeared to claim the garments.

PROGRAM OF THE EXERCISES Topics of Deep Interest to Be Dis- ~ cussed by Ripe ‘Thinkers. ee SUBJECTS AND SPEAKERS ——_—__+—___ The annual Sunday school convention of the Baltimore conference of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church South will begin Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock at the Wesley Grove camp ground, a short distance from Dorsey’s station, on the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio ratiroad, and thirteen miles from Baltimore. At the first session there will be no busi- ness of a public character transacted, the feature being the delivery of the annual sermon by Rev. J. L. Kitler. The opening exercises of the convention proper will be- gin at 9 a.m. Wednesday, and the first hour will be appropriated to devotional services. After the ¢rganization of the body and the election of officers for the ersuing year an address on “Bible Study for Spiritual Profit’ wiil be delivered by a Prominent Sunday school worker. There will be a song service in the afternoon, to be followed by addresses on “The Best Methods of Conducting Sunday Schools Successfully,” by Col. Robert Cowden of Dayton, Ohio, and Mr. J. C. Deming of Baltimore, and, perhaps others. “Reports of schools” will then be taken up. These will comprise a number of subjects of in- terest to Sunday school workers generally and upon them remarks will be made by leading delegates. “The Best and Most Approved Character of Review, Normal and Junior Class,” will be the topic of an address by Col.

Decision as to Their Construction Made Except as to One Point. The Secretary of the Navy, after consul- fation with the naval construction board, has settled several points of importance in connection with the construction of the two new battleships. According to the de- cision finally reached, these vessels will have double-storied turrets, 13-Ingh guns and high armor belt going five feet six Inches below the water line. There is now but one important point to be settled, namely, the weight to be allotted to the machinery of the battleships. In this case there is @ conflict between the construc- tion bureau, which holds that 1,000 tons are quite sufficient for the machinery nec- essary to develop 11,500 horse power, and afford a speed ‘of sixteen knots, and the engineer brreau, which holds for 1,200 tons for the purpese. The latter points to the fate of the torpedo boat Ericsson, which has failed on many trial trips from break- ing down owing to excessively light ma- chinery, as a reason for furnishing the big ships with machinery heavy enough to stand rough usage and forcing. * . ee Army Orders.

Senor De Lome, the Spanish minister, came to this city from his New England cottage almost simultaneously with Secre- tary Olney, end the two distinguished gen- tlemen also left here on Saturday within a few hours of each other. They live near together cr. the New England coast, within convenient visiting distance of the Presi- dent at Gray Gables, and will be able to continue their negotiations on the import- ant questicns pending between the United States and Spain without much trouble or loss of time. Prior to his departure from the city Saturday night Senor De Lome said: “I do not know what the cabinet had under consideration today. I shall be glad if a decision has teen reached, as reported in the papers, to protect the Spanish inter- os but if such is the case I do not know t When asked if he was satisfied that the United States government was endeavoring to observe the neutrality laws, Minister De Lome replied: “At the present moment I am very well satisfied with the conduct of the federal gcvernment.” While ir. this city the Spanish minister formally notified the Se2retary of State of the prrpcse of the Spanish government to pay the Mora claim. He told the Secretary that this cecision was reached at the meet- ing of the Spanish cabinet on the 15th in- stant, and approved at a subsequent meat- ing of the cabinet with the queen on the ith. That the time and manner of the payment would be left for future negotia- ticn, but that there would be no greater delay than would be necessary in arrang- ing the details of any matter of similar magnitude. The ciaim is for $1,500,000, and has been pending several years. Orders have been issue@ to the revenue cutters Morrill and Winena, one of which was at Charleston and the other at New- berne, to proceed at once to Key West. The orders include directions to keep a sharp lookout against Cuban filibustering expeditiors. The McLane is.already at Key West, and the orders to the other two cutters to reinforce her, it is believed, were issued as a result of Saturday's cabinet conference. The Morrill has already sailed. As a result of Saturday’s conference Sec- retary Herbert has revoked the orders re- cently sent to the cruizer Atlanta to pro- ceed to New York, and pending further in- structions that veesel will remain off the coast of Florida on the icokout for filibus- tering expediticns. —————— EE He Was Drowned. A colored man who was employed as steward on the barge William A. Smoot was drowned in the river near the 12th street wharf last evening.

A report comes from Crane Lake, Minn., of an encounter between American citizens and Canadian officials. The Canadians con- fiscated the nets set in Namekon lake by the fishing company, on the ground that ey were in Canadian waters. Eight men belonging to the Arion company started out in search of their nets, when suddenly three boats filled with Canadian officials darted out from behind an Island and pur- sued them. The little steamer May Carter, on her way to Crane Lake, came along ard Captain Hayes put on all steam to rescue the fishermen. In the excitement the Cartcr struck one of the Canadian boats, smashing it in pieces and spilling four of the officials into the water.
