" THE OMAHA SEVENTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA. MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15. 1887. MORE INDIAN BLOOD SPILT, Another Encounter Between Sheriff Ken- dall's Posse and the Utes. THE OFFICER SURROUNDED. Banguinary Reports of the Affray From Glenwood Bprings—Cole orow Belleved te Have Been Reinforced by His Son, The Utes Emeute. Grexwoon SpriNas, Colo, August 14.— [Special Telegram to the BEE.|—It has just seen learned that when the sherif’s posse struck Calarow’s camp, one of the party fired iwo of the Indian tepes. Three Indians were shot and badly wounded and four guns were taken from them, A runner came into Chapman on the Grand river, twelve miles below here on Friday, and reported that the Indians had Kendall’s party surrounded and ‘ode round them all one day firing towards ihem, but not hitting one of them. This re- port agreed with the last from Meeker lo the effect that all communication is cut off between him and Meeker. It Is not known where he is at present. Six hours after the sheriff made the attack on old Colorow, his son, Eney Colorow, was seen by a ranchinan going down the south side of the White river alone, seemingly going toward Douglass creek, where a larze hunt- Ing party of Utes was camped. KEney was seen by Senator W, H. Eddy at 4 o'clock the same afternoon at the head of sixty Utes at least thitty-five miles trom where he was seen In the morning making for the morthwest. The party acted very suspiciously and asked wherethe trail led to, although they knew ‘well, having made the trail. This party was a relnforcement led by Colorow’s son who 18 about thirty years of age. le effected a junction with the old man’s party that night at the junction of the Big Beaver and Coin ereeks near the Milk Creek battle ground. 1t is thought that the Indians now number 125 warriors. The same night twenty Utes went to the house of a ranchman near there and said to him, “Indlan no want fight; if white man want fight, Indian ready.” ‘The Indians told the ranchman that three Indlians were wounded and that they would donothing in retaliation if the four guns were taken from them were given Lack and they wero allowed to hunt. They then left saying “Indians move camps no more; if white man want fight Ute ready.” ‘They also sald they were friends to the settlers but would *para- lyze” the sheriff and his men. The vlace where the Utes are now camped is almost ininaceessible for white men. It is densely wooded and the Indlans can stand off ten times their own number. Colorow has been wanting to fight for a long time but never could get a large number of his nation to join him. The Utes despise the negro soldiers and in their conversation with the ranchmen men- tioned above, sald: *‘One Ute good ten buffaloes, (meaning tolored solaiers).” Mr. Burnstein, a ranchman, lost some horses, and while hunting them this morning after the encounter between the sheriff and Colorow he struck the trail of a large party of Indlans. He followed it up and came up to a big party of squaws and pappooses who were on the trail leading to the reservation, They were driving his stock with a greal deal of loose stock of their own. No resistance was made to his cutting them out, At that time he nad not heard of the trouble Apprehension Felt for Settlers. DENVER, Col.,, August 14,—|Special Tele- gram to the Ber.|—Connsiderable appre- hension is telt here for the safety of the set- tlers on the White river reservation in the vicinity of Meeker. This is caused by the fact that no authentic news can be received from the latter place as to their condition. It is thought that Colorow and his band are strongly reinforced and are holding the S between Glenwood and Meeker, makin® it extremely dangerous for couriers to attempt to make the trip, even at night. Governor Adams has ordered a reinforcement of arms and ammu- nition shipped to Glenwood with all possible baste. All the available horses belonging to the cavalry have been gathered and sent to the front so as to be ready In case of urgent necessity. ‘Telegrams were being recelved Mlmost hourly by the governor from cow men all over the state offering their services in putting an end to Colorow’s murdering raid- ers, The following telegram has been re- celved by Governor Adams from Adju- tant General West, who {s statloned at Glenwood with 120 militiamen awalit- Ing the return of the courier sent to learn the whereabouts of Sheriff Kendall and his LENWOOD SPRINGS —To Governor Adams: Have consuited Mayor Connor, Mr. Reynolds and other prominent citizens, and on their recommendation have sent sourier to Sheriff Kendall for information, No direct news from him since friday., Man In from country near Meeker last night re- ports that Senator Eddy met sixty bucks who, he thought, were trying to join Calarow. This would give him over ninety fighting men. Kendall has plenty to stand off. but not enough for agaressive warfare. Citlzens and stockmen about Meeker are greatly excited and would soon end the mauter if they had suitable arms, Infantry are no good at present. I suggest that the militia of Leadville, Denver and Colorado Springs with the Chaffe ar- tillery with gatling guns be held in readi- ness to report at a moment’s notice, There Is plenty of forage but no commissary store. The proposed force can make good Indians out of the whole outfit. The courier will try to get back Monday night. Many wild re- ports but nothing authentic. WesT, Adjutant General.” It Is understood that Colorow has sent his brother to Uncompahgre Agency asking for assistance and that probably fifty or sixty warriors will bo sent. This will swell the numbers {n the renegade outtit to the neigh- borhood of 150 well armed men who know avery foot of the country and a party which It will be no easy watter to conquer. —— LORD DRUMMO? What He Lost By Living With His American Love. New YORK, August l4.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee,|—A great deal has been said about the wealth which the late Lord Drummond would have possessed if he had not persisted in coming to America and living with the wowman he loved. But the greater part ot the money to which the famuly is said to be entitled 1s, In fact, in litigation, and has been for a long time. There were certain very valuable estates in Scotland, now In possession of Lady Wilé loughby De Ersberg, but which, It is serted, nghtfully belongs to the Drum- mond fawily, These estates are said to be now worth fully £40,000 a year, while formerly they brought in the enormous in- come of £150,000. Lord Drummond’s tather dled & number of years ago, but his grand- father, the earl of Perth, has long been tight- Ing to get these estates back, and s sulll fight- ing now st the age of eighty-five. The young Lord Drummond was lookéd to to assist in carrying on this fight, and hence It was that his family wished him to marry a rich Amer- ican girl. Lord Drummond’s maternal grand- mother, y Capel, also left some money, about £5,000 a year, which was to go to her three children. One of these, Mr. Drum- mond, had eloped to America, however, it is said, and was supposed to be dead, conse- lupnlly the other two children took the 5,000 a year, and young Lord Drum- mond’s clalm was * never recogniz There are some estates in France, a it Eas just appeared, which were just about to be turned over to Drummond at the time of his death. These were bequeathed to him by a great luntbthe Countess De Ratberg, and amounted to some $50,000 in sccurities besides some real property. In his will, Drummond leaves all his property to his daughter, Percival G. Ullman, his friend and lawyer, thinks there will be no difficulty in securing the property for the daughter. He is inclined to believe that now the Ene- lish relations may take up the little girl, and 1f the Earl of Perth should die without gain- ing nis suit, the little girl’s claim to the Perth estates, worth §200, a year, would be pushed. —— FEKDINAND IS KING. He Forn ly Assumes the Regal Of- fice at Tirnova, TIRNOVA, August 14.—Prince Ferdinand ‘was enthusiastically welcomed on his arrival here on Saturday night. To-day he attendea Te Deum in the cathedral. From the cathe- dral, with a brilliant military and official es- cort, he proceeded to the hall of the great so- branje. The sobranje was in session and when the prince entered he was greeted with mlor:red cheering, The metropolitan de- ivered an address and administered the the prince, wbo thereupon the constitution. M. tol- loff, prime minister, on behalf of Prince Ferdinand read a prociamation say- ln§ in part: “We, Ferdinand, b{ the grace of God and the wili of the people, prince of Btlgaria, announce to our well-beloved ple that we assume government of the coun- try. We will rule in accordance with the constitution, with the intent to promote its reatness and_development. We always be ready to sacrifice our lite for its happiness.” “There is no refer- ence to Russia In the proclamation. After the ceremony of installation the ministers tendered their resignation and the sobrange was dissolved, Neither Turkey nor any of the powers has replied to Prince Ferdinand’s note asking of their approval of his election, Prince Ferdinand held a council at Sis- tova at which it is reported Foreign Minister Natehevitch disagreed with the prince in his views upon the formation of the cabinet and tendered his resignation, 1t is ramored that Prince Ferdinand has insured his life for 2,000,000 florins, BACK IN THE PULPIT. Novclist George MacDonald Preaches at Gospel Oak. [Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoxpoN, August 14.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the BEE.]—George Mac- Donald, the novelist and poet, who long ago retired from the Presbyterian ministry, to- day attracted an immense audience to the Presbyterian church at Gospel Oak, a suburb of London near Hampstead Heath, by his temporary return to the pulpit. Gospel Oak is 80 named from the fact that there is still standing the old tree under which Whittield preached when it stood, in the language of the title of MacDonald’s best known novel, among “The Annalsof a Quiet Neighbor- hood.” He looked more like a member of parliament or banker than a parson clad in light gray trousers, white vest, and black coat and grayish whiskers and beard, and merry blue eyes. Although sixty-three he looked only forty. lle reminds one of Beecher, being unaffected, impromptu of manner, unconventional and full of well- balanced earnestness. His readings of the one hundred and seventh Psalm and the gospel about the man who bathed in the pool blessed by the angel, were tine speci- mens of clear, impressive elocution, and his off-hand comments were tasteful and inter- esting. While preaching he half leaned upon the desk, and In a conversational tone talked to the congregation without manu- script, at times rising to dignity and elo- quence, and employed exquisitely poetic illustrations, His theme was executing duty in life as best contributing to the havpiness of others and one’s self. He derives a handsome 1ncome from his thirty velumes of novels and nine volumes of poe- try, and is also in receipt of an aunual pen- sion of £100 from the queen’s civil list, as a compliment to his literary rank. He is not a Presbyterian scholar, and has taken vart in amateur theatricals for charity. Onein the congregation spoke to me enthusiastically about the preacher’s performance on one oc- casion of Macduff, *Oh, whata man for the Plymouth church pulpit,” sald one of the American colony, as ‘we quitted the chapel.

Bran- steller, colored, left her two children, aged five years, and ten months, in an eight by ten room closely shut up yes- terday while she went to a neighbor’s house to spend the day. At night, when the room was opened, a horrible sight presented itself. The older child was almost suffocated and the younger was in the throes of death, A portion of the tlesh of the breast and stomach had been eaten away by the older child, who was almost starved. The motner 1s under arrest. The younger child will die. e THE FRANKLIN GANG, Trying to Secure Evidence to Convict Them ot Murder. St. JoserH, Mo, August 14.-—|Special Telecram to the Bee,|—Sneriff Turner, of Atchison county, is in the city and spent most of to-day in the county jail in close conversation with the men confined here by Atchison county for safe keeping accused of being members of the Franklin .gang which shot and killed several citizens jof Holt county, not long since, in resisting arrest for horse stealing. It is understood that George Stone, one of the prisoncrs, seveuteen years old, will turn state's evidence, e seems to be afraid to tell anything, hoWever, as long as the Frauklins are at Txberly his reason belng the belief that they would hunt and kill him, Stone is the son of a respect- able farmer in_Atchison county and says he met the Franklius the morning ot the shooting and was pressed by them Fo t into the wagon which they were riding in, as he happened to be going the same way with them.

WASHINGTON, Angust 14,—|Special Tele- gram to the Bee. |—Comptmller Trenholm, being asked whether, in his opinion, the na- tional banking system is as well adapted to the interests of commercial communities ot the south and west as it has provea to be to those of the trading and manufacturing com- munities of the east, answered emphatically in the aflirmative. In connection with this answer he said: ‘‘However, 1 should explain that it has taken a much longer time for ag- ricultural communities to perceive the bene- tits of this system and to avail themselves of its advantages than requisite in the cases of the others.,” He added: ‘‘Now, however, the system is making its way very rapidly both in the west and the south. The exten- sion of the national banking system in these sections has been greater in the last two years and a half than it has been in any part of the country during any equal period since the close of the war. Within this time the number of banks in the southern states has increased 37 per cent, and the number in the western states 22 per cent, while the increase in the whole country north of the Chesapeake and eastof the Ohio has been less than 8 percent. Since itis safe to assume that, on the whole, people understand tt.eir own business, 1t would ap- pear that the farming communities of the south and west recognize the value of the national banking system, and 1 fully expect to see a steady increase in the number of banks in these sections.” Asked why he called for a statement of the condition of banks August 1, whicii is some- what unusual, he replicd : ‘“That date was selected partly because no previous reports had been made about that time. and the information was requisite in order to complete statistics on the record here. Apart from this reason 1 shovld probably have made a call anyhow, in order that the busi- ness public might be correctly informed as to the condition of the banks ata season at which these institutions are ngepared to meet the annual demands upon them for the move- ment of crops. Public autention during Au- gustand Septewber s been gonerally oo tered upon the bauk_situation in large eities, especially those in the eastern states. By a natural and perfectly healthy law of trade there is an annual flow of currency and capi- tal towards those centers in the spring of the year and a reflux into the country as autumn approaches. FEvery autumn there is a de- mand upon New York and other eastern points for currency to be shipped to the west and south, and every year there arises throughout the country an apprehension of monetary scarcity and even of a panic be- cause of this movement.” Whitney in a Snarl. WAsHINGTON, August 14.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEr.]—Secretary Whitney has been accorded a great deal of praise from the party press for his management of the Navy departinent and his economic care of the funds of the navy. Up to the present time, however, his great business ability has been insufficient to solqe the problems which have arisen in relation to the amount of contracts for the new cruisers. Whitney himself is anxious to give tho contracts to Cramp, of Philadelphia, and that tirm would doubtless have been charged with the duty of building cruisers No. One, Fourand Five, but for the express stepulation in the law that one of the vessels should be built on the Pacific coast, 1if, in the judgment of the president, it can be builteconomically. Beside the two cruisers to be built, two gun- boats were authorized to be constructed at the same time. Mr, Whitney expected that tne Union lron works of California would build one of these gunboats, and in that event, the California concern would have been awarded the contract for the gunboat instead of a ctuiser. But the concern could see what was in the air, and refrained from bidding on the smaller vessels. The bid of the Union_Iron works on cruiser No. Four was only $15,000 higher than the bid of Cramp on the same vessel. As this difference reoresents only about the cost of transport- ing the steel plates from Pittsburg, and is not 8o great as the cost of sending the vessel from Philadelphia to San Francisco, it Is looked upon as coming within the pro- visions of the law. Thiscomparison is based on Cramp's bid to build eruisers upon the de- signs furnished b{ the department. These designs were purchased by the secretary at a cosi of $25,000, Cramp submitted designs of his own which he offered to build for the sum of 100,000 less than he would build the others for. Now, while Secretary Whitney is anxious to favor the Philadelphia tirm, he cannot do so unless he throws over the de- signs for which a large sum was paid. He realize the unpleasant predicament into which he has flomzn hunselt and has called upon the president to help him out of the snarl. Several conferences have been held. but up to the hour for clos- ing the department Suturday no conclusivn had been reached. ‘There is a political phase to the question which mav have an import- ant bearing in inducing the decision in favor of the California firm, “‘The Pacitic coast has always considered that the rest of the coun- try treat the interests of the slope as though it” were entirely outside tne union. The Union iron works employs about 1,100 work- men. It this contract goes to California it may have considerable influence upon the votes of those employes of the Union iron works, whose political opinions are not very firmly fixed.

The Rate of the Ohatsworth Train When It Was Wrecked, THIS SAVED ONE The Authorities Will Follow Up This Record Closely—Condition of the Victims at Chatsworth and Piper City, ENGINE, A Significant Discovery. Foruesr, 11, August 14.—|Special Tele- gram to the Ber.|—An lmportant discovery has just been made. 1t is one which will throw much light upon a question which has been discussed more or less since the fright- full disaster of Wednesday bight. ‘The record kept by Train Dispatcher Hibbard indicates that the ill-fated excursion train was run at a rate of fifty miles or over per hour when the disaster occurred. The dis- tance froim Forrest to Chatsworth is six miles, and it wascovered in seven minutes, or a fraction less than a mile a minute. The track between these two points is an upgrade the entire distance. From Chatsworth to the point where the accident occurred the grade 8 gradually downward until about a mile from the scene of the slaughter is reached, where this section of grade becomes much more marked. 1t is now believed here, in the light of this discovery, that the train must have been running ata rate of speed even exceeding fifty miles an hour. The fact also that the first engine of the double-header cleared the sunken culvert gzoes to show that this passage was made like a flash. The dis- covery of this record will be followed up very closely by the authorities now on the ground, Victims of the Wreck.

We gave them every opportunity to get all they wanted, and they made a most thorough and searching investi- gation. 1 can’t see that there was any need of it. I haven’t heard of their unearthing anything which required explanation.” “Do you mean Mr. Huntington’s kind of explanation, Mr. Adams?’ “No; but as for that, aithough 1don’t know anything about the Central Pacitic, it costs money to defend a road against an attack of congress Just as much as it does to defend it in court. “There are legitimate costs and ex- nses 1n both cases. ['am sure that since 885, the date when my acquaintance with Union Pacific affairs began, the company has been managed honestly and fairly.” _*“*How about the profits of the deal with the Kansas Pacific?” “Simply that men bought stock at 9 per cent share and held it till it was worth more. At the same time Atchison stock was kicking around Boston at the same figure, and the men who bought it then and held it have made money. The case was the same with the Northwestern, Burlington, Rock Island, und other western railroad stocks. They were as low as Kansas Pacilic stock once, but the growth of the country has made them valuable. Nothing worse was done in the case of the Kausas and Union Pacific com- panies than in the case of these other com- panies. But the Union Pacific alone has been picked out for criticism. *Do you mean to present any new plans before the next coneress for the payment of the Union Pacific’s debt to the government?” “That will depend on what the investiga- ting committee does. The debt does not fall due for ten years, and we are now meeting every obligation. We ask only that the gov- ernment will treat with us on a business not on a political one. 1f the govern- ment would deal with us as with other cred- itors, or as creditors generally treat their debtors, we would be satistied as things are. ‘The first mortgage bondholders hold a claim for £35,000,000 against the road as does the government, but they donot think i1t neces- ry to wnrriy us continually. Tlmf' simply ‘if you don’t pay that debt when it is due ten years hence, we shall take the prop- erty.’ Why should the government take any different course?”’ “How does the inter- effect the Union Paciti “Not serlously, [ think, in any way. Tt has injured our California business a little, but will not materially effect our earnings.” e SIMPLY A SE1ZURE. Ives Likely to Wear Stripes For His “Loans.” CINCINNATIL, O, August 14.—[Speclal Telegram to the Ber).—One of the interest- ing questions of the day is: Who loaned money to Ives? There has been, as stated many times before, $750,000 loaned on Cin- cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, stoek in Cin- cinnati, This much is known positively, that the loans numbered about 175, and the loss, if loss there is,will not tall heavily upon apy one person.

The Omahas and Wichitas played their third game of the present series yesterday afternoon before a fiue audience, embracing probably 1,200 people, The game was poorly played and uninteresting, notwithstanding the success of the home team. As has been their custom for the past six or seven games the Owahas opened the game by scoring, and yesterday they succeeded in piling up three Tuns before the Humpty Dumptys could re- tire them. 'Then in the second, third, sixth and ninth they added a tally each, and quit at an aggregate of seven, which won the game by a margin of three. The Wichitas’ run-getting occurred in the fourth and sixth, two tallies each, being rotired in short order in the other inni! of the game. CORE POS. A, It BH. T, BS, 10, 2 OMATA.

Sunday, of the Wichitas, has the swagger of a Bowery tough down tine, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next and the victorious Lincolns will be here. Bandle is doing some excellent coaching, a thing that the Omahas have been in sore ne Fusselbach 1s catching on great with the crowd. Some of his pickups and throws to lirst are of the phenomenal order. Hemp, the little batter who leads the Wichitas list, was guilty of a contemptible trick yesterday in trying to knock the ball out of Duryee’s hands when he was thrown out at first.

DENVER, Col., August 14.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.]—Denver won a game azain from Kansas City to-day by good field- ing and heavy batting. Kansas City played the best fielding game of the series, but could not hit Fitzsimmons hard emough to win. The playing of Ehret and Shea in center field were the features. Shea made an ex- cellent one-handed running catch in the ninth Inning, being the best cateh of the series. Ehret took Kinzel’s place and was a decided improvement, while at bat he pit hard and at every ball, not having a ball called on him. Nichols and Fitzsimmons pitehied well, and both received zood support. Graves and Meyers each caught through the series and have divided the honors, Graves having the better of it at the bat. The crowd was large and enthusiastie, and_appreciated the improyed playing of both elubs, An ex- hibition game will be played between the two clubs to-morrow.

Colonel Dan Lamont and William H. Johnson are the gentlemen who devised the scheme, and it is broadly hinted that the administration was not unfavorable to the project. Messrs. Lamont and Johnson combined to buy up enough of the capital stock of the Argus company 80 as to destroy Manning’s influence on the paper, but _some of uir. Manning’s friends heard of the scheme and came to the ex-secretry’s rescue, The Manning coterie now own a $105,000 of the stock, and the Lamont-Johnson combine 805,000, Lamont, as president of the Argus company, would be free to support the presi- dent for a renomination and was trying to head the New York delegation to the next national convention. Itis said that Man- ningoffered to head the delegation to the next convention, but the president declined Mr. Manning’s offer in a_ polite manner.

A_Dull Financial Week. NEW Yonk, August 14.—[Special Tel gram to the BEE.|—There were some m: vortant Influences at work during the week, such as the treasury purchase of bonds, the damage done to corn by drought, with subses quent rains in the same sections, the liberak buyinyg of stocks by London at intervals, the decline in forelan exchange which led to fmport movement of gold of considerabla proportions, the varying phases of the Ives matter, numerous reports about an adjuste ment of the cable war and the consolidation ot the land lines, and the sudden bidding up/ of money near the close. These, or evem some of them, would ordinarily be sufticient to produce marked activity and wide fluctuas' tions in the stock market, but all of them combined falled to have any such effect thig tme. The fact of the matter is there has been a very general disposition to wait, firsh’ for one thing and then for another, and in the meantime traders moved the market uj and down with great frequency, but as rule, within very moderate limits.
