Colo., Telegram to the E —The report received here yester- day that Colorow and his band were sur- rounded and wanted peace is denled to-day. Itappears from reports just received that Colorow has the militia surrounded* near Coyote Basin and i dictating terms to the troops. He emphatically declares that if the militla does not go back there will be a biz fight. He positively refuses to return to Uintah agency, and says he will die before he will leave the White River country.

His horse wore out, and in attempting to escape ne stumbled and threw him into the brush where he remained until morning and then made his way to Meeker. If an engagement can be averted until Governor Adams and Colorow have a pow wow the trouble may be settled but if the hot-headed cowboys and Inexperienced militia push a fight upon the Indians betore this a long and bloody war may be expected. e R The Department Will Co-Operate. ‘WASHINGTON, August 26.—The following eorrespondence relative to the Indian trouble In Colorado has taken place: Colo., August 25.—To H.

The crowd at Camp Logan was equal to that . of yesterday. The chief feature of the morn- Ing was a band contest for prizes. Only three of the nine bands that have visited the grounds have entered the race. The first prize of $100 was awarded the Ponca band; the second, $75, to Wayne; the third, $50, to Neligh. ‘The Indians regaled the crowd by a war dance in costume, Meetings were held at the varlous state headquarters at 1 o'clock for social greetings.

Des MoiNes, Ia,, August 20.—|Special Telegrawm tothe Bex.|—The case of .Justice Croney and Constable Jordan, of Oskaloosa, arrested for refusing to permit Revenue Offi- cer Kirkpatrick to see certain kegs of beer in their possession, came up before United States Commissioner Jordan yesterday and was decided to-day. Itappears that the con- stable had made a seizure of beer, bringing the cases into Justice Croney’s court. Kirk- patrick went to Croney and asked to see the kegs, saving that he understood they wero not properly stamped. Croney and Jordan both put him off and finally refused to let him see the beer unless he could show his authority, Marshal Etherldge was advised and arrestea the parties. The defense argues that no refusal was made, ana that beer in the hands of a court 18 not taxable, thersfore the officer had no right to inspect it. Com- missioner Jordan took the case under advise- ment and to-day discharged both of the prisoners, — Boy Orushed to Drath.

Georgin's Penitentiary Oonvicts Whipped in a Terrible Manner. ATLANTA, Ga., August 26.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.|—The convict lease system of Georgla appears to be doomed. By an ex- ecutive order, signed under great excitement, General Gordon has called on the lessees of penitentiary companies No. 2 and 8 to show cause why their leases should not be an- nulled. These companies are principally formed of James W. English, Willtam B. Lowe and James M. Smith. Several days 8go the governor received an anonymous letter signed ‘‘Convicts,” which declared that the' convicts were being whipped because they made known the existing abuses, and asked that the matter be Investizated. From the postmark it was ascertained that the let- ter came fromn the camp under tho charze of C. C. Bingham, on the Georgia Midland road. Principal Keeper Towers at once proceeded there, Rm( the men called up in line and stripped of thelr clothing. The backs of four men were found to be cut and brulsed in a terrible manner, as though knives had been used to open the flesh, Governor Gordon read the report with indignation aud at once signed an order dismissing Bingham from any service in which the state was integosted and ordering the sollcitor gen- eral’ to prosecuto him for his crimes Active steps are being taken to protect the convicts from the rage of the lessees, and It is sald that Principal Kee‘pu Loyers took personal charge of camp No. 2 The sup- pressed report of Prison Physician W moreland, which was made to Governor Mec. Daniel in 1883, and which the governor would not allow to bs made public, was yesterday given to the press. 1tis a shocking recital of filth and crime, and will help to swell the demand for the abolition of the leass system, ‘There 18 no doubt as to the governor’s inten- tion to declare the lease annulled, owing to the violation of its provision by the lessees. The lessees are making strenuous efforts to avert the blow which is falling upon them, but the gevernor is determined in his course, backed by the public apinion of the state and indorsed by personal assurances of members of the legislature, The Dade coal mine camp, which belongs to company No. 1, owned by Governor Brown, Is not com- nl:nnl((nl of, but it will have to share in the wreck. ———— THE DRESSED BEEF RING. The Manner in Which 1t is Profiting By the Low Price of Cattle, CHICAGO, August 20,—|Special Telegram to the BEE. |—'*The Dressed Beef Ring; How it has Profited by the Low Price of Cattle,"” is the heading of a sensational article in to-day’s Tribune. Itsays: “It is assumed In many quarters that a beef famine s not far away. Estimates as to the destruction of cat- tle in the northwest last winter are that in Montana there were about 400,000 head, in Idaho about 100,000, In Wyoming about 800,000, in Colorado about 50,000, or 850,000 heaa in all. During the summer, on account ot the excessive drought, the estimated losses in beef produc- ing states, such as lllinols, lowa, Ohio, Mis- sourl, Kansasandin New Mexico, Texas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Dakota, swell the total to 1,500,000 head of beeves, Many as- sert, however, that these fixures are far too high. But this Is not the main fact whichin- dicates a future famine. It is now known that from 50 to 75 per cent less of calves were born this spring than is usual, owing to cli- matic causes, which must have its effect in time. To thls must be added the fact that cattle producers have been rushing their sur- viving stock on the market atan unparalleled rate, and that from these and other causes many ranchmen are discouraged, and are going out of business. A great uneasiness, such as never before characterized the cattle busipess, is manifest in business circles, The market price has been low on account of the glut, for in Cnicago alone over 200,000 head of cattle have been thrust on the market during the last thlrl{ days. Only the commission man with his hands full of business seems nappy. The stockyards were never in astate of greateractivity, The recelpts in a nlnzr}e day have been 13,500 head of cattle, the largest known. The yards are overflowin with stock, money is 'in great demand au nrices are regulated to the necessity for cash of the producer. While some beoves are in a fine condition, the generality are thin and thirst-starved stock. Reports of losses by drought in the Panhandle region of Texas of 500 head per day cause much concern amone southwestern men. Sam Allerton says there was a general loss of from 50 to 60 per cent on all cattle north of the Platte river and predicis disaster to the vast ranch interests of the northwest unless the admin- Istration changes itsmethods of dealing with ranchmen,”” i ‘The article continues: “One thing that impresses the consumer is that he gets beet no cheaper because the producer sells it for so little. Who is it gets the big sum in between the price paid by the producer and the consumer? It is hinted ranchmen that it is the dressed beef motopoly, The inter-state commerce Iaws have noterrors for these dressed beef men. The low price of beef is their opportunity. It they fail to eep beef down they will’ quickly purchase all that is offered for future delivery. These monopolists lash both sides, producer and consumer alike. They make fortunes on all this panic among cattlemen. On every bull- ock thereis a J;rolu of $10 to the dressed beef monopoly and either a lgss or an even thing for the producer. The consumer pays the monopoly the extra $10 profit.” WHAT A DRESSED BEEF MAN SAYS, NEW YoRK, August 26.—One of the promi- nent dressed beef men in thiscity sald W-dl( regarding the sentiment printed by a Chi- cl,llg: nl‘)er that a beef famine was eminent: “There Is n8 probability of any beef famine, a8 the market is largely overstocked now. The immense overstock Is due largely to the fact that more men are raising cattle than ever before. Three or four years atxo the price of beef was very much higher than it is now and there was a biz rush into the cattle ralsing business. The result is now show! There are too many peopie engazed in cattie raising, and the price has been Imt s0 low there is no money n it. The rush mnow i3 to wet outand in consequence they can’t get good prices. In a few years history will very probably be repeated. AsI think™ tue price will ¢o up again when fewer cattle are brought to market. It is also true that a &0od many cattle are in poor condition, but at the same time there is plenty of good beef in the market., LS RIVER MPROVEMENTS. Major Handbury of the U. 8. Engi- neers Expresses His Opinions, CuicAao, August 26.—Referring to the re- cent call issued from Peoria for a convention to consider improvements In the Illinois river and connecting lake Michigan with the Mississiopi river, Major Handbury of the United States engineers said to-day: “It is aright movement and I hope it will be pro- ductive of good results. What is now wanted is an appropriation to connect the river with the lake and thereby complete a navigable waterway the importance of which cannot be overestimated. The only fear I have of its defeat is that the politicians who are riding the llenne‘vln hobby will not permut it to ko through without being saddled with their pet schemes. 1f they would only have the Kood sense to hold off a little it would be all the better for them, for the Hennepin canal can never be a success until this connection with the lake Is established; that is the first thing to be doue.” “Really,” continued flujor Handbury, “1 think the citizens are right in taking up this matter. 1t concerns not only the state of 1lli- noisbut all the states bordering on the Mis- 81851 gh either one of which will be bene- nm'- y the successful outeome of the pro- e ——— Held to the Grand Jury.

Harcourt Thinks the Government Wishes to Strike the League Becomes It is Becoming Rather Inconvenient, The Resolution Negatived. LoNDON, August 26.—In the commons to- night Sir George O. Trevelyan, one of the late Gladstoneite recruits,resumed the debate on Gladstone’s motion. He sald the late government did not ask the commons to pass the Irlsh crimes bill on hearsay, but that they based their demands on parliamen- tary returns of grave outrages that had peen committed—7,750 outrages during the pre- vious year and twenty-six agrarian and political murders during the first halt ot the year. Sir George contended that the house should have tabulated statistics of crime In Ireland and that to mention one crime here and snother crime there was not sufficient to Justity such action as the government was now taking against the whole [rish people. He denied that the general operations of the Irish Na- tional league increased the crime in Ireland or led to general non-payment of rent. Let the house understand, he continued, that If the proclamation of the league is sanctioned every lrishman who will not leave it at the command of the government will be liable to be punished as a common criminal and that liability will not depend on any judieial pro- ceeding worthy of the name. In conclu- sion he complained that the statements made by Balfeur, chief sectetary for Ireland, and only given out last night, left no tiwme for ex- amination of their charaéter. Sir R. E. Webster, attoruey general, held that the reason why there were not more convictions for crime in Ireland was simply because of the terrer of the league. Lle re- minded the house that Earl Spencer's gov- ernment had ropeatedly proclaimed the land league meetings 11;3 that Sir George Trev- elyan had supported these preclamations on the ground that the objects of tho Pnlld league were to put dowm landlordism nd to effect a separation between Ireland and England. The objects of the existin, league, sald the speaker, were the same. "Th government would now try the experiment whether nu?pmuslon of the league meetings would not lessen intimtddtion. They were told this would be a death struggle. Well, oither the league or tho governincnt would 0 down, & ‘T, Harrington sald the league would go on doing what it had done in spite of the procla- mation, which had no terrors for the Irish people. Lord Hartington, replying to Sir George Trevelyan, said in substance that as far as the action of an nsmiugnn was whollylwnt- ieal 1t could not be condemned. but ‘if the action of an association destroyed the liberty of the people and subverted order and good government it did not matter.what the supposed motives of the associathon were. It " was enough that its action was hostile to social order. The touse had already decided that intimidation prevailed preventing persons from pursuing their law- ful occupations. It was not the duty of the fovarnmenl to lay before parliament the in- lormation desired by the opposition. The orimes act was now a part of the law. The actlon was taken by the governmient as an executive, It was not necessary to produce evidence in support ot executive acts. He believed that the league’s aim was spoliation and injustice, and that its methods were in detiance of law. Sir William Vernon Harcourt said Lord Hartington's support of the government was certainly not of the most cordial -character. His concluding argument was weak because this executive act would have actually per- ished unless it had parliament’s ap- roval. The government wanted to strike le league bocause it was inconvenient to them, adverse to their political opinions and to the Yefiunlnry interests of the class they represented, and it was characteristic of them that the first person struck was an Irish member of parliament and editor of an Irish newspaper. Goschen argued that the league was the outcome ot the growth of the }.nml league, which the liberals had proclaimed. There was nothing in any country of the world that could equal the fearful system of es- poinage carried on under the auspices of the the league. Mr, Dillon: “I utterly deny that a system of espoinage Is carried on by the league.” Goschen: *“Then Ishould like to know how everything happencd to, be brought to the knowledge of the local branches of the league, Ample evidence has proved the ex- 1stence of a system for inflicting material ruin and moral death on many individuals. It i8 not surprisin, hat the = gov- ernment i3 unabld | trace” the connection of the leagué with outrages when Iarge bodies of men are able to commit out- rages and leave no clue to their identity, ‘There is strong grounds to suspect that a powerful organization isbehiad them. Healey, who ended the debate, cg:nselled the Irish people to have confidence 1n the good intentions of the English people and to wait patiently, abstaining from violence. g"‘i'tml.d!wm’" resolution was negatived —272 to 194, It was stated to-night that the government intends to pro) on Monday a moditication of the cloture rule with a view to expediting the passage of the supply bill. The English Wheat Crop. LoNDON, August 26,.—The London Times says about the English crops: Wheat comes out as the best crop of the year, as was to be expected. It is notso great a crop, however, as a few weeks ago a few enthusiasts were hoping for. The cold winter and spring, and the absence‘of rain when the plant was young, were bound to have their effect, and hus |t happens that in wheat the crop, though good, is not an extraordinary one. We may put wheat as producing a erop of a little over 9,000,000 quarters, ‘This will leave us dependent on foreign supplies at least 17,- 000,000 and probably 16,000,000 quarters, for it must not be forgotten that the shortness of the potato crop will cause a greater demand than usual for breadstuffs, The Czar at Copenhagen. COPERHAGEN, August 26.—The czar and czarina and family arrived here to-day in the Russian imperial yacht. The trip from St, Petersburg was prolonged by a fog. King Christiana, King George of Greece, and sev- eral members of the Danish royal family went out to meet the visitors in the Danish royal yacht. Great crowds greeted the party as they drove through the city and there was & general display of enthusiasm, —— A Tremendous Change. LoNnoN, August 26.—In Interview to-day Gladstone, In reply toa question as to whether he expected to beat the govern- ment to-night, said: *No; we can't expect to do that, but the fact that a year ago the government majority was 110, while now the most sanguine conservative only anticipates & majority of sixty on proclaiming the league, shows what a tremendous change has come over the face of the country.” ———— Excitement at Havanna. HAVANNA, August 26,—The excitement over the removal of the oflicials of the custom house here by the governor general continues unabated. Last night a crowd of over 2,000 persons assembled In the park to hold an- other demonstration oyer the affair, The ro- lice, reinforced by troops, vainly attempted to disperse the crowd and were lfinally com- pelled to make a charge, wounding several persons. — Rome's Health Excellent.

John Says His Party is Growing Stronger Every Day. CHICAGO, August 26,—[Special Telegram to the Bge.|—*"1 just ecame through from the east and stopped over a day to attend to a little private business,” sald Governor John P. St. John, the advocate of prohibition, to a reporter to-day, as he reposed at ease in his parlor at the hotel. “What do you think of the prospects of the prohibition party next year?’ asked the re- porter. *1 think it just as good as reasonable peo- plecould expect it to be. I saw a private dispatch this morning from New York say- ing that ther avere 918 regular delegates besldes an equal number of alternates in_the prohibition state convention of New York in session at Albany. The cause Is growing wonderfully everywhere. The vote last year demonstrated the fact that the prohibitionists hold the balance of power in eleven nogthern states and by 1 the influence and power of lllepnrt{ will ba much greater than ever before. That is about all that I have to say on the subject at present.” Governor St. John will leave for Kansas this evening.

Base Hits, Cleveland is all torn up over the Sunday base ball playing question. In elghty-eight games Thompson, of the Detroits, one of the Big Four, failed but eight times to hit at least once safely. John H. Brady, a brother of Steve Brady, the old right nielder of the Metropolitan club, has been made a league umpire. “The eastern papers are now praising Harry Wright's abilities as a manager, putting hiw only second to Anson as a disciplinarian, lhnlf)u Hart, of the Milwaukee Base Ball club, has signed Louis Sylvester, the St. Louis Brown’s utility man, to play in the Milwaukee’s outfield. ‘The Boston Herald thinks Chicago will be forced to rely considerably on Van Haltren and Baldwin this trip because of the condi- tion of Clarkson’s arm. Manager Gaflney thinks the league made a great mistake when it allowed Ferguson to slip through its fingers. He eonsiders Doescher and Ferzuson the only competent umpires the league ever had. Among the pitchers who will 8rob|hly re- tire at the end of the season are Weidman, of the “Mets,” Kirby, of the Clevelands, and Shaw, of the Washingtous, or else they will have to lmprove their playing. Detroit’s club is winning encomiums all over the country for gaining 8o many games in the face of the fact that the manager, president, board of directors and the local re- porters all have a say in the way the team shall play. It is surprising to see pitchers kick on ealled balls strikes when they know that the decisions cannot be changed and there is nothing to be galned bv it.” On the con. trary they usually prejudice the umpire's Judemount against them. Darling, of the Chicagos, has one of the best actual batting averages of the league— 850. He was a hara but lucky hitter of the International association. In his last four games he wade eleven hits. He has played in twenty-six games. ‘The New Yorks lead the league both in bat- ting and base running, yet why the team does not hold & better place Is not easily ex- Flllm‘d: but then it would be equally as ard to explain why they did not win the pennant in 18%, when they then won_the series from all the other clubs, led in both batting afid tielding, and thelr pitchers had the best records, Billy York, a well-known Gotham sporting man, was 80 loud ih his desire to secure a bet onthe New Yorks at the last Tuesday's game in NewygYork that Umpire Powers was oblized to im down. Still Mr. York continued to express his desire to get the bet. In the ninth inning his desire suddenly ceased. It was caused by a foul tip from Richardson’s bat striking him in the eye and sending him to grass for a time. Mr. York will not be able to see for a fow days. Northwestern Amateur Scullers.

The one Chicago man who followed McGarigle as a friend and commis- sioner from his wife to Canada and held a long conversation with him, was ex-Alder- man Jim Appleton.
