4 2 RELIEF FOR THE SETTLERS, Time Extended For Purchasers in the Omaba and Otos Reservations, NOT A PLEASANT COMPARISON. AV Women are Suffering in the Treas- ury Department While Mane ning Takes a Ie The Time xtend WasmiNGroy, July gram to the Bre.]—The ¢ tee on the bill extending the time of the pay- ment of interest and principal to purchasers of lands on the Omaha and Otoe reservations i Nebraska, h rived at a conclusion. “The time of payment is extended two years for every payment. There is to be no default in consequence of non-payment of principal and interest. Sixty days’ notice shall be given after the passage of the act within which to pay interest already due, The president’s procls n gave one year within which to enter upon lands on the Omaha reservation, and this exvired a year ago. Persons continued, however, to make settlement upon these lands. All per- sons making settlement before the passage of this act are protected, and the two years extension extends to them also. Nebraska's two senators and Representatives Dorsey and Weaver, left no stone unturned to se- eure this conelusion. The opposition to the bill by Indian Commissioner Adkins has de- layed action very much. .

An Anarchist Plot. July 2 ! Telegram to Since the Cieveland meeting of the'general assembly of the Knightsof Labor, there s been a peculiar moyement going within the ranks which has atiracted atten- tion, but an expla lias been slow in fortheoming, At one by preconcerted action, the radieal or socialistic element e united, and presented a solid front where. In Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts, as well as in the west, the contest for supremacy began between the radieal and conservative wings of the order, and the struggle bore the same characteristics in every assembly, [t was evident that some powerful finfluence was at work, but what it was and whero itcame from remained for someo weeksa mystery. [t was known thatthe New York so- cinlists were working through an inner cirelo styled the “Home Club,” but this did not ex- plain events transpiring elsewhere. Then there came conelusive proof of a sceret cabal, reaching from Denver to San Francisco, led . R. Buchanan, of Denver, who was clected at Oleveland as a member of the wen- eral executive board. With this as a zuide, and by extensive correspondence with west- ern points, it has been ascertained that the socialistie inner cirele is widespread and is immediately contined only by the limits of the order. ‘The secreey with whicli ithas been abio to shield its machinations is die to the small and sclect membership, which has been picked out with tho greatest of care. The number in Chicago is placed at ten. The small number in the society is the sourcejof influence, be- cause they are enabled, by together secretly working, to accomplish far more than a targer would do if their objects were known, “The chiet aim of the eabal is to defeat Pow- derly, who represents in a larze degree the conservativeness of the Knights of Labor, and the composition of the Richmond assem- bly, which convenes in October, will be a great aid to their plans.

L AN AUTONOMIO ANARCHIST. A Windy Reporter Finds the Man Who Threw theBomb, s0, July 25.—(Spelial Telegram to the Bre.|—A New York paper yesterday printed a sensational story aboutan alleged talk with one Ignace Swobotka, an Austrian socialist, who, the reporter claims, is the man who threw the dynamite bomb at the Hay- market massacre in Chicago. The story goes on to say t Friday night the reporter met the editor of Most’s paper, who said in con- sideration of profound secrecy for twenty- four hours be would bring the reporter face to face with the man whom States Attorney Grinnell would give $10,000 to get hold of, After many injunctions of secrecy the re- porter and the socialistic editor went to a house in East One Hundred “and Fifth street, where Swobotka has been sojourning. Swobotka's alleged talk is to the effect thi he was an autonon anarchist and did work on his own hoc He didn’t afiiliate much with the Chicago anarchists and made his own bombs and h‘rl them in his room. On the night at the Haymarket he attended the meet- ing os was his custom, witha loaded revol vei and ono of his bombs.

Both bulls and bears seemed to “*buy ‘em and others to sell “em.” That common speculator who depended upon his gumption did not know whether lie was on foot or on horseback. It was secretly whispered in his ear that he could sell grangers for a turn or more, the Chieago gang had skipped to the bear side, Jones and Beam directing the movement. Then, with a sly wink, it was hinted that it would not do to be “long” of coalers. As a little leaven in this dismal cake of speenla- tive dough, he was told, with much emphasis, that he could buy Lake Shore tor all it or he was worth, and go to bed and sleep sweetly over it. Big eanings were shown on this great speculative bell-wether, and the once remote prospects of a dividend were said to be now not only plain in sight, but quite close ab hand, The wise, cautious and conserva- tive policy of the administration in not even entertaining the question ot dividend until the road well again on its tinancial legs, has recently invited confidence and a good deal of biying.

A cowboy rides with long stirru ting forked well down between his high pommel and cantle, and depends greatly upon mere balanc In cutting out a ‘steer from a herd, in’ sitting a bucking broucno, in stopping a night stampede of many hun- dred maddencd animals, or in_ tie per- formance of a hundred other reckless and daring horsemanship. the cowboy is ab- soiutely unequaled; and when he has his own horse gear he sits on his animal with the grace of a ur, and yet he is curiously helple he gets astride of one of the small eastern sad- dle: st summer, while |l1ur|- ing cattle in Towa, one of my ranch foremen haa to get on an ordimary saddle to ride out of town and sce nch of steer: He is perhaps the best rider on the ranch, and will, without hesitation, mount and master beasts t, 1 doubt if the boldest rider in oné of our eastern hunts would earc to tackipyyet his uncasine on the new saddid, was fairly comical, At first he did hotadre to trot, and the last plunge of the horso bid fair to unseat him; nor did he beizin to get accustomed to the situation uptil the very end of the Journey. In fact,/#holwo kinds of riding are 8o very differgnt that a man only ac- customed to one feels fimost as ill at ease when he first tries ¢he other as if he had never sat on a hoyae's back before. It 15 rather funny to & man who onl knows one kind, and'# conceited enough to think l)mlflmuh rgally the only kind worth knowing, wlien first he is brought into contact with ¢heother. Two or three times I have k \mnmn try to follow hounds on stooR: sMldles, Which are adout as 1ll-suited rlur the purpose as they well can be; while it is even more laughable to see some young fellow from the east or from England, who thinks he knows entirely too much about hor to be tauzht by bar Ans, attempt to do cow-work with his ordinary riding or hunting rig. Each kind is best in its own place, and the man only as customed to one will at first find himself a1a disadvantage when he t the other. It must be said, however, that in all probability cowboys would learn to ride well across country much soon: than the a e cross-country rider would master the dashing and ‘peculiar style of horsemanship shown by tho: wilow life business it 15 to guard the wa dering herds of the great western plal A cavalry officer trained at West Point perhaps, for all-round work, not un- likely to surpass s & borscman both cow- boy and fox-luuter.

The l?uiun Pacilics went to the field ana didn't get into working order until the visitors had pounded the sphere three times in succession and made three tallies with but httle effort. Salis- bury recovered himselr then and fanned out three men., The home team scored four runs, leaving the game closer at the end of ihe first inning than it was again during the game. The Union Pacifics went to work in the sec ond inning and the rest of the game was marked by a series of brilliant plays tha shut the “visitors out without another core and showed, for the first time this season, the true metal of the favorites. Dugan caught with but few errors, his throwing to second being astomshingly swift and acceurate. He is a big addition to the nine also as a good batter and ba; runner. Anderson waus in his element in right field and made two fine double s, Eli got there in left, and Brandt did more than hisshare in center. Rock- well plaved withouta break.

He “has the faculty of rapidly acquiring wenlth, which never cqualed here exeent by Milton 5. m, the banker and specu- lator, and he has Latham’s gift of rap- idly runmng through a t fore o by embarking in visionary enter- es. Jones made n huge fortune in mining investments on the Coms stock, but he is not content to draw ?in revenue from his mining properties. He branched out intoa dozen entorpriscs. unk a million in Southern Nevada trying to develop a cwnp which has ro- mained moribund ever since. a similar attempt in Inyo county, te, and started 10 build a railrc nta Monica, the seaport of Los Anges , and was built on preciscly the same plan that the Panama eanal is being dug. ery one connected with it had a lofty scorn of cconomy, and the petty narrow gauge rond cost as much as though every liad been made of silver. 1% finally reverted to the Southern Pacifio, whicli is making money out of it as an excursion route.

But about six years ago Jones invested 8 small amount in the “Lreadwell mine Douglas island near Juneau, Alaska. Some prospectors returned from that frozen territory with stories of the great richness of quirtz rock on the island and the unparalieled s of the lode. They were met with ineredulity and their story was generally re; I as the wild- est ex ion.” They interested a nufa of mine machinery and he nished a small miil, while Jones and a few others chipped in a few thousand dollurs for the oulfit. It was not over a year before the mine began to pay as never aine paid before on this coast.
