‘THE OMAHA ) [ EIGHTEENTH YEAR. "DaAiLY BE ING, JUNE 12, 1889, THE FORT NOT RE-LOCATED. Baturday Morning’s Statement ‘Without Foundstion. OFFICIAL CIRCLES DENY IT. Walting For the Return of Secre. tary Proctor Betore Taking Any Action — Gresham's Run- mored Appointment. . 513 FOURTRENTI STRRET, ‘Wasniserox, D.C., June 1L “The statement published last Saturday morning to the effect that the war depart- ment had selected a site for the new Fort Omaha was entirely without authority,” said Chief Clerk Tweedale, of the war de- partment to-day. *‘The matter is held up until the return of Secretary Proctor, and no decision has been reached yev. Jt seems that there is a decided digposition on the part cf many of the business men of Omaha to disapprove the abandonment of the pres- ent site. Ican give vou no information con- cering the decision of tho secretary, and General Schofield, who 18 acting secretary of war, is not prepared to take any action in this matter during the absece of the secre- tary.” This was all the information that could be secured after vigorous inquiries in the de- partiment by Tne Bee correspondent to-day. The chief clerk of the quartermaster-gen- eral’s office said in response to inquiries: !t “This department has no knowledge what~ ever of the action of the board. 1t has never been brought to the attention of the quarter- master-general, and whatever action is taken will be taken solely by the secretary of war, Of course, after he renders his decision it will be reported to this office and the neces- sary steps will be taken to acquire title to the property selected, but up to the present time we have received not a word concern- ing the selection of a site since the first steps looking to that end were taken some months ago.” ‘WOULDN'T TAKE IT ON A GOLD PLATTER 1t has been froquently asserted in political circles here thatPresident Harrison intends 1o offer the vacancy on the supreme court bench to Hon. Wailter Q. Gresham, now of Illinois. Close personal and political friends of Judge Gresham, however, say that ne ‘would not take tha® position or any other in the gift of the administration if it should be offered him ou a golden platter, The fact is, these gentlemen do not want to see them friend and favorite placed in any position ‘where he would be practically shelved awya from higher political honors. There is no authentic reason to believe that President Harrison ever contemplated tendering the place to Mr. Gresham, who will, without loubt, try conclusions with all other comers for the presidential nomination in 1892, Mr. Gresham has had some of his political friends here recently, and it is un- derstood that they have been hunting for the reported disgruntled republicans with the idea of forming a combination with them in the interest of their friends.for the next republican convention for the presidency. As far as cad ve learned they have had but little success in this quest. The disgruntled Yepublicans, of sufficient importance* to be of value, have failed to materialize, and it is only among a few anxious seekers for places who have been unabie to get at the erib up to :‘\ln ]:irusent time that the least growling is eard. ‘WasmixoTox Bureavu, Tne OMAnA Bee, } NEBRASKANS INTERESTED, There is quite s commotion in Nebraskn circles to-day over the president’s announce- ment of the appointments for the land of- fices in Utah. 1t 18 known that Mr. Ball, of southeastern Nebraska, was indorsed by Senator Manderson for one of these places, and the statement was made before congress adjourned that Mr. Ball was slated for either register or receiver at Salt Lake. The president was quite determined that Ball should have one of the Oklahoma land offices, in order perhaps to let Saunders in for commissioner in Utab, but the delegation named Roberts, of David City, ana this was supposed to have siated Ball for a and office in Utah, as ]?all was one of the president's especial {riends. The query now is, what will he do for him? Thus far the delegation has Egan for the Chilian mission, erroneously charged to Nebraska, it seems; Captamn Stidger, ot Grand Island, for special land agent, located in New Mexico, at §1,800 per annum; Pick- erell, of Beatrice, special agent of the agri- ultural department at $3.600 per annum; arding, of Oakland, in the public printing office at $1,600; Michael, of Missouri, in the printing office, at $1,800: Slaugh: ter for United States marshal, Peters for collector, Gillespie ‘for register at O'Neill, and nmhnblfiAshIBy, of Burt county, for agent of the Winnebagoes. SERIOUS CHARGES aro on file with the secretary of the interior deimnmanc against Agent” Warner, of the Winnebage reservation, and charges ave also on file ngalnn the register of the land oftice at Chadron, aud the outlook now is that the administration will not hesitate to remove the register and receiver there if any reasonable ground exists, especially in the face of the determined attitude of demo- cratic ofiicials generally to hangon under re- publican rule. The democratic friends hore of the Chadron land officers are advising those ofticials to resign to save themselves from the political disgrace of a remeval, CITIZENS OF OKLATIOMA. T. A. Stockslager and Horace Speed, both formerly of Indiano, but now of Guthrie, Oklatoma, are Tn the city to consult with the sccretary of the interior relative to the loca- tion of certain homestead entries which con- flict with the town site seleetion. Mr, Stockslager, who was a clerk in the pension office up to the 15th of April, speaks in glowing terms of the wonderful energy and enterprise ot the citi- zens of Guthrie. Ho says that there are al- ready several brick yards and forty-two lumber yards in town: that an elec- tric light plant has been estab- lished and is now in working order; that arrangements are veing effected for the building of a line of street. rallway, and that every thing points to a pro-reronl future, Lots which on the 22d of April were portio of one vast uninhabited territory, have been #old as high aus $3,600 each. "Mr. Stock- thinks the values 1\, but he has no doubt that the future of th town 1s assured, and that within a very short time it will compare favorably with many of the larger cities of the cast and w 1f the territorial capital should be settled in Guthric he believed that its future growth will warrant the faith its founders have in it. Regarding the reports of violence there, Mr, Stockslager says that there have been but two deaths in the town since it was orgunized. One was of u violent nature, und ocaurred the day before he left. The other reports are exaggerated and without foun- dation. A MISCXLLANEOUS, " Senator Manderson will probably reach Omaha the first week in July to remain only a few days, as he is one of the Vest select com- mittee of five on the investigation of the “meat” product question and 1s also on the Indian affairs cowmittee.

Cnicaco, June 1L—It was given out at an early hour this morning that James Moran, a driver in the:employ of the ice firm of McGinnis & Moran, of Lake View, was arrested late last night, and is held as & witness in the Cronin case. It is alleged that on the evering of Dr. Cronin's disap- pearance Moran, in company with another man, was seen in the vicinity of the Carlson cottage. In the Cronin inquest this morning, John C. Garrity, a saloonkeeper, testified that he was acquainted with Detective Coughlin, now under indictment for complicity in the as- sassination. Witness declared that Coughlin came to hfm and said he wanted to hire a tough character known as “Major” Samp- 800, to slug a man. _Witness told Sampson about it, and a few days luter Sampson told him (Garrity) that the man Coughlin wanted slugged was Dr, Cronin. He wanted him slugged with a base ball bat and distigured for life. 1f it killed him it wouldn't make much difference. . J. D. Haggerty, railroad oclerk, gave most important testimony thie morning. After the trial of Dr. Cronin, he said Alexander Sullivan told him that Dr. Cronin was a scoundrel and a menace to the Irish cause. It was the impression ot the witness that Sullivan was_trying to express the opmion that Cronin should be exterminated. The witness was of the same opinion at that time, About that time a circular had been issued saying that many Scotland Yard detectives had left England for America to try and find out some of the secrets of the order and every persoa who was a member was on the lookout for informers. All that time Sulli- van was not alove in his opinion. Le Caron, who was a friend of Alexander Sullivan, was a member of the committee which tried Dr. Cronn. He was introduced to the wit- ness by Sullivan at the trial as a man worthy of-confidence in_the Irish cause. He was opposed to Dr. Cronin at the time on account of the statements of Alexander Sullivan. At the afternoon session a number of wit- nesses were examined *without developing anything of importance. Chiet of Police Hubbard was sworn and told of an interview which he had had with Woodruff, the horse thief, Hubbard asked him what he knew of the Cronin matter and if he really was the one who drove the trunk from the Carlson cottage. Woodruff said he was, and he then described the cottage. “‘He said,” continued the chief, ‘*he took the trunk about midnight on May 4. He had been given §25 by two men the day before to do the job. At 11:20 p. m. on May 4, two men, according to agreement, rapped on the door of Dinan’s stable. He opened the door and let out the horse with rags on its feet and hitched it to a wagon. They then drove to within one hundrea feet of the Carlson cottage. He was then told to wait and the two men left him and went into the cottage. They remained there five minutes and then beckoned him to drive up, He did so, and two men, King and Fairburn, and a third man came out with a heavy trunk. The third man was R. O. Sullivan, When the trunk was put in the wagon Sullivan re- turned to the house. Woodruff, with King and Fairburn, drove on Lincoln avenue to Fullerton avenue, thence to Lincoln park. The men intended to take the trunk and its contents in a boat out on the lake and sink them, but owing to the bright night and the presence of strangers, they changed their minds and drove back. When they reached the man-hole on Fifty-ninth street they tried to dump the trunk into it, but failing they knocked the trunk open, having lost the key, and took the body from it and threw it into the man-hole. Woodruff was then told to drive off.”” The chief was asked in regard to the grounds on which McDonald and Maroney were arrested in New York to-day. With regard to the man McDonald, who seems to be the most important of the two prisoners, Hubbard said: “‘We attach no great importance to the ar- rest, as all the fellow has to do with the case, so far as we know, is this: He 1s a well known New York crook, and was absent from New York at the time of the murder, and we think he was here, but we don’t know yet. He can not or will not tell where he ‘Was on May 4, but that doesn’t prove he mur- dc{ed Cronin or had anything vo do with the crime.” “'1t is learned that the Carlsons can ident- ify him as the man who rented the cottage?” ““Bah, sheer nonsense." “And that he was, in all probability, the man who drove the doctor away " OThe chief’s reply,though inelegent, was the expressive: “Rats!” Luke Dillon, of Philadelphia, on whose in- formation the arrests were made, declined to say on what grounds. State's Attorney Longenecker would talk, however, if Dillon would not. “The men are arrested and there is noth- ing to conceal now. Maroney is the man who 18 suspected of driving the doctor from the office to the Carlson cottage. About the other man I don’t kuow so much, but we expect to prove he was in the conspiracy. Maroney is a labo) I think, and McDonald is a black- smith, I'got this information from Dillon, and we will learn how much truth there is in iv later on.” VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S JURY, The following is the full text of the ve: dict of the coroner’s jury: ‘‘We, the under- signed jury, appointed to make inquiries according to law as to how the body viewed byus came to its death, state our verdict from the evidence. “1. That the body is that of Patrick H., Cronin, known as Ductor Cronin: *2, That his death was not from natural cause, but by violent means. “3, Thatsaid Patrick H. Cronin was de- coyed from home on North Clark street on the evening of May 1, 1850, by some person or persons, to the cottage known us the Carlson cottage, situated at No. 1872 North lAll.hluml avenue, in Lake View, Cook county, 1] ‘4, That at said cottage the said Cronin was murdered by beiug beaten un the head with some blunt instrument in the hands of some person or persons to us unknown, on the night of said May 4, or between May 4 and May b, 1589, 5. That the body after said murder was committed was placed in a trunk and carried to Edgewater on a wagon by severul persons and by them placed in a catch basin at the corner of Evanston avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Lake View, where it was discovered May 27,1850, “Phat the evidence shows conclusively to all minds that a plot or conspiracy was formed by a number of persons for the pu pose of murdering the said Cronin and ¢ cealing his body., Said urm or conspiracy wus deliberately coutrived and cruelly executed, 7. We have carefully inquired into the re- lations sustained by said Cronin to other persons while alive, to ascertaln if ne nad any quarrels or enmities, with any person, suficient to cause his murder, _ WS 1t is our jud{mena that 10 other person OF persous except some of 1hose who are, or ‘who had been, members nf a cortain secret soelety kuown as the ‘United Brotherhood’ or Clan na-Gael, had cause to be the instiga- tors or executors of such plot or couspiracy to murder said Cronin, 9. Maoy of the witnessés_testifying in said case have done so with Jamuch evidenu unwillingness, and we believe with much mental reservation. We find from the evi® dence that a number of persons were par- ties to the plot and the conspiracy to mur- der said Crouin, and that Danicl Coughlin, Patrick O.

Refore the verdict was read in public, Coroner Hertz emerged for a moment from the room in which the jury was in ses- sion. He beckoned to an‘officer and handed him a mittimus. The officer, with a comrade, hurriedly left the city hall and jumping into a carriage drove straight to the residence of Mr. Sullivan on Oak street. Mr. Sullivan had gone to bed a short time pre- vious, but ufter the object of the officers was explalned and the information given that ho would not be permitted any time for any pur- pose, he promptly and quickly dressod and unhesiiatingly accompanied his visitors. The prisoner’s domeanor was calm through- out the entire proceeding. Entering the carriage which had brought the ofticers, the trio were driven to the office of the county jail. ~ After the usual preliminaries Mr. Sul livan was taken through the cage into tho gloomy prison itself, The ex-president of the Irish National Leaguo of America was then immediately incarcerated in cell No. 25, in the tier known as “‘murderer’s row." moeal his body, er to the grand t other persons t or had guilt; be apprehendex Two, Arrests in New York. New Yorg, June 11.—Acting upon instewo- tions from Chicago, Police Inspector Byrnes to-day caused the arrest of John Maroney and Charles McDonald, two men whom he has been shadowing for suspected complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. The men are now at police head- quarters and will be ‘held to awalt the ar- rival of oficers fromn Chicago. These men have been shadowed by Byrnes' men for some time past, and yesterday the inspector received a dispate from Chicago, signed by States Attorney Longnecker and Chief of Police Hubbard, asking for their arrest. The man Maroney is John D. Maroney, & dry goods merchant. :He has been a promi- nent figure in Irish affairs for many years, especially in the land - league. He often spoke publicly the use of violence in Ireland. Very little is knmown of McDonald. Both prisoners were taken before Inspector Byrnes in the afternoon,. They denied any knowledge of the crime. They admitted they were members of the {Clan-na-Gael. Im- mediately after the prisoners’ arrest they were taken to the Tombs police court. They will be held for murder in accordance with the instructions given Inspector Byrnes from Chicago. i An evening paper prints this of Maroney: ‘‘He resided onee in Bhiladelphia. He was eventually compelled sto leave that city, and since that time had Dbeen- understood to have performed mishions of a private nature 1n counéction with the Clan- na-Gael. On the occasion of the queen’s jubilee, & few years ago, Maroney was one of a number of-men who went to Eng- land with the funds of a revolutionary or- ganization for the avowed purpose of blow- ing up several puhlic buildings. Maroney blew up nothing, and two of his companions were arrested. Maroney has never had any regular_business, but was generally well uul!l)liad with money. One of the charges made against Sullivan’s administra- tion was that $700 of the funds of the Clan- na-Gael went into the men’s furnishing business, which Maroncy carried on in Phil- adelplia, and in which he failed. Maroney was one of the men who before Cronin’s body was found in the sewer, was most pronounced in the opinion that the, doctor had mnot met with foul play, but had left Chicago to avoid the disgrace resulting from sowme scandal with which he was professionally conneoted, e A KANSAS TRAGEDY. A Traveling Man Killed by His Inam- orata's Father. Toreka, Kan,, June 11.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—At Clay Center, to-day, J. B. Wellington, a traveling salesman for Strauss & Co., & St. Touis millinery house, was shot through the head by Dr, J. B. Stewart, the ball entering just above and behind the right ear, passing through and lodging on the opposite side. Wellington has been unconscious ever since, and death is certain, The shooting took place on the Main street, and was witnessed by a large number of people. The doctor’s oldest daughter, Ula Stewart, one of the prominent society ladies of Clay Center, was married about eighteen months ago to Frank Hood, cashier of the People's National bank. A few months ago she became acquainted with .Wellington, and the two have been fre- quently each other's company, which caused her husband to sepavate from her about a month ago. Notwithstanding waru- ings of danger. Wellington has frequently visitéd the town and made his boasts that he would yet have the company of the daugh- ter, notwithstanding she was kept secluded by the purents. Recently he came here to spend his vacauon, and made himself conspicuous 1n the neighborhood of the doc- tor’s house. This morning, at the hour named, Wellington, apparently with the in- tontion of creating a disturbance ran against the doctor and made some remarks, at which the latter = struck him with his cane. At that Wellington reached in his hip pocket as if to get a revolver, at the same time running iuto the eet, when the déctor fired the fatal shot. The doctor at once went to the sheriff’s office and gave lmself up. PRINTERS IN SESSION. Thirty-Seventh al Convention of Dexver, Colol, Jul enth annual conyen!

The State to Take Control of the Work To-Day—Citizens Taking Part and Getting Ready For DBusiness. The Horror Not Diminished. Jonxstows, Pa,, June 11.—This is the last. day for clearing away t! @ effects of the flood by the civil authoritics, To-morrow the state takes hold, and all work done after to-day will be under the supervision of Ad- Jutant-General Hastings, One of the first things to be done by General Hastings will be the discharge of 800 policemen now doing duty here. Itlas been decided that they should not be paid out of the relief fund, but that the county whose sheriff deputized them, should pay for their servic Some persons look for trouble from this source. All the men employed by Booth and Flynn will be paid off to-day and discharged and transportation furnished for as many as do not wish to work for the state. A more cheerful and hopeful feeling pre- vails and 18 daily increasing, and work all over the valley is being pushed to-duy with vigor. The horror of the situation has notdi- minished,but grows. The search for the aead continues, and in all sections and directions Dodies are being found. A number of bodies Are NOW coming to the SUrface of the waters, and those whose work has made them com- petent judges, say as many more bodies as haye baen found are lying somewhere. Notwithstanding this is the twelfth aay since the flood, most of the newspaper corre- spondents are still without sleeping accom- modations of any kind, and as on the first day are sleeping in barus, brick kilns and other places without cots or blankets. Cots have been sent, they are told, but some one else gets them. The supply of provisions is improving some, and they now manage to. get one, and sometimes two fair meals daily. The provis- fons sent to this valley don't seem to have reached the right places. A number of carloads of all kinds of supplies have been sent to Morrellville, and as there was no damage done there by the flood this stuff has been misapplied. A prominent citizen of Morrellville said this morning: *There is a large class of people here who have not lost a thing in the flood, yet every arriving train finds them 1n line ready to reccive a share, It is safe to say these people have secured enough provisions to last them six months, and clothing cnough to last five years. . After to-day the commissary departments will be in charge of Col. Spangler, assistant quartermaster-general, with three assistants, There will be two post commissaries and and eleven district commissaries, the latter m charge ot lieutenants of the National Guard. . Their duty will be to find out all the needy and to make a list of them and to make requisitions on the guartermaster-gen- eral for provisions and to distribute the same as fust as possible. It is the intention to induce the citizens to take hold and assoon 88 possible the entire commissary depart- ment will be turned over to them, But two bodies have been received:at the Fourth ward morgue up to noon tn-da{) and it is quite likely .that after to-day no bodies will be taken to any of the morgues because of the bad state in which tbey are found. There is now but little attempt at identitica~ tion. The impending change in the control of the town, the exodus of workmen and flood survivors and the steady rain have com- bined to make Johnston more quiet to-day. At all headquarters work has been narrowed Qown to the finest possible calibre and a ood wnany faithful men are getting the rest they needed long ago. . To-morrow Mr. Scott throws down the reins of government and Adjutant-General Hastings takes hold. At least §100,000 will be pmd out to worlgnen tQ-morrow morning and the most of it will e town with men who earned it. The new leaders claim a number of plans are to be introduced by which the work of cleaning up the wreclk- age and caring for the survivors will be greatly systematized. The military will be retained. Good. progress was made in cleaning out the channel of the Conemaugh above the bridge to-dayv. A number of stationary en- gines and long cables are being used to pull out the heavy timbers. ‘rhie morgues are about to be abandoned on account of the bad condition of the bodies being recovered. Identification is almost impossible unless by the personal effects found on the bodies. The state board of health still issues encouraging bulletins, al- though isolated cases of pneumonia, diph- theria and measles are reported, generally from the suburbs, "The spirit of recovery took a firm hold on the citizens of Johnstown to-day. Every- where owners of property were hard at work clearing out the cellars, drying carpets and bedding, and inaugurating a general renovation. General Hastings this eveningsaid: *The work of cleaning the eity will be done by contract, and negotiations will be opened at once with the leading contractors. Several may be employed, but I can not say who will get the work at this time. Until the com- mission is appointed Scott bas volunteered his services, and will render all assistance in his power. @ Quartermaster Baker star ted out four men o canvass Johnstown proper in order to clas- sify those neeaing provisions. To-night the men turned in 1,187 numes and the city was not nearly all visited. 3uker says a surpris- ing amount of nced was unearthed. A great many ladies were found whose families were reaily suffering who had faled through a sense of delicacy, to apply for aid. The hu- mility of seeking relief removed by the system now being introduced. It is the ex- pectation that the food and clothing which bas been going in large lots to undeserving persons will now go to the more respectable and retiring class. T. J. Oliver, of Pniladel- phia, who is in charge of the store house establishment ic the German Catholic church said : “T'wenty carloads of provisions and_cloth- ing were unloaded there to-day. Enough clothing 18 arriving in Jobustown to supply the city for twenty years." Thirty-eight bodies were recovered to-day, all of them being in an advanced state of de- composition, In oneor two instances mag- gots were at work on them and the flcsh was 80 80ft that extreme care was necessary lest Athe limbs be torn from the trunks. This afternoon the b of Miss C. A, Christman, a foreign missionary from New Orleans, who was on the fated day express, was found.

Onahan denied the truth of the report telegraphed from Pittsburg that he was dissatisfied with the management of the funds, and that he had withdrawn $27,000 Kiven over tothe Pittsburg committee, be- cause the money was being diverted from the purpose for which it was intended and used 10 pay for clearing up the debris of the val- ley.

ROBBING HIS EMPLOYERS, Malhall, the Silver Thief, Run Down by Detectives Kaxsas City, Mo,, June 11.—[Speoial Tel- egram to Tig Ber.|—~The Pinkertons made an important arrest hore, to-day, in the por son of Mike Mulhall, suspected of being one of a gang of miners who robbed the Aspen Smelting & Iron company right and left, a few months ago. The compuny, last fall, struck a rich vein of silver ore in one of their mines near Aspen, Colorado. The find was a very valuable one, pure nuggets of silver being taken out of the ore. But some- how the mine did not yield as woll as tho owners thought it should, and the Pinker- tons wore employed to find out what Was the matter, After some investigation the dotectives concluded that the company was being robbed by its employes. Accordingly an operative was sent into the mine under the guise of a miner. He soon found that ten of the miers had organized for plunder and rying the pure silver out of the mine clothing. In January the members gang wore arrosted and in- dicted for the robbery. While they wero being searched in the sheriff’s office, Mulball escaped unnoticed in the crowd which had gathered, and a Pinkerton man placed on his track located him five weeks ago at Omaha, From there he followed him successively to Kansas City, Minneapolis Omaha, St. Louis, and back again w Konsas City. Monday night he was located in a boarding house 1n this city, and this morning Detective Wob- ber arrested him 1n Rice's marblo yard at Seventeentn and Main stroet, wherc ho had been employed for the past four duys. As the arrest was made on & federnl warrant, Mulliall was tuken to Aspen to-night with- out a requisition. The engineers of the mines estimate that the gang rovbed the company of $30,000 worth of silver in a few months. Mullhall's accomplices are awaiting trial as Aspen. Gltuagge oo THE ST. PAUL AND THE ALTON, Taking a Rise Out of a_Rival For Cattle Freight. Cnicaqo, Juue 11.—|Special Telegram to Tnr Brer.]—The St. Paul road bhas already made an official announcement that it will conform to the ruling of the executive board of the Inter-state Commerce Railway associ- ation and turn over to its competitors all its ive stock traffic for Missouri river points ex- cept two train loads a week. The announcement mekes interesting read- ing, and is as follows: ‘‘The St. Paul road considers that the mainstay of the Presi- dent’s agreement is the provision for giving some business to weaker lines, which can not obtain it against stronger ones on maintained rates, and it certainly will not discourage is first attempt in that direction by failure operate. In this particular case their view is that it might have been adjusted so as to produce less hazard of criticism, and better results inrates on the general trafic, but this is a matter of judgment which arbi- tration governs, It now remains to be seen whether rates can be maintained on a fair basis on recourse to this last resort. If they can, it will ve justified, and a trial is well worthy some sacrifice from the stronger lines.” The reference to the Alton 1n the first sen- tence will hardly have a tendency to heal the rapdly widening breach between some of the lines in the Inter-state Commerce Railway association, 5 Building: in Wyoming. Burraro, Wyo., June 11.—[Special to Tur Beg.]—Interestdin railroad matters uffecting northern Wyoming has heen revived by the arrival here, to-day, of Mr. S. M. Briscoe, of Junction City, Mont., who came through from the Northern Pacific by private con-- veyance o n business in the interest of Paul MecCormick, one of the incorporators and chief spirits of the Big Horn & Soutnern railway company. This rhilroad company was incorporated on the 24th of last January, with a capital stock of $300,000, Eli D. Ban- ister, Paul McCormiclk, Wilber F. Sanders, Thomas C. Power and Albert J. Seligman, some of them prominent as Montana capital- ists, and all 1dentified with the Northern Pa- cific, being the incorporators. It was stated in the articles that the object of the company was to construct and operate a railroad from a point in Yellowstone county, Montana, through the counties of Yellowstone, in Montana, and Sheridan and Johunson, in Wyoning, to the mouth of Rock creek, two miles northeast of Buffalo. Subsequently, congress granted the company the right of way across the Crew Indian reservation, and the war department issued a similar permit with regard to the Fort Custer, Mont., mili- tary reserve. The company announced its intention to commence the work of construction by April 1, and when that time arrived and no indica- tions appeared in support of the announce- ment, public opinion branded the whole af- fair as a right-of-way scheme. Mr. Briscoe, however, brings news to the cffect that a corps of surveyors were to have begun work on the line yesterday, with instructions to at once prepare the way for construction, und says that the company will build and equip the road this fall us far as the Crow agency, @ distance of fifty miles south from the Northern Pacific, This will place the cen- ter of this rich stock-raising and agricultural country within a hundred miles of railway communication, and the Big Horn & South- ern company will endeavor to divert the heavy business of Johnson county, hereto- fore controlled by the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road, to the northern com- mercial artery, baving fifty miles the best of the situation, Uniform Olassification. ©nicAGo, June 11.—([Special Telogram to Tue Bee.]—Chairman Midgley and General Freight Agent Morton, of tho Bu and Johnston, of the Rock Island, will be in New York, Tuesday next, at o scssion of the National Uniform Classification committee.

The Ricking Indians Wil Sign. Rosenup, via Valentine, June 11,- [Speciay Tologram to Tue Ber.|—-There has boen but little of imvortance transpired here to= day. The Indians are still coming in slowly and signing the treaty. Up to the present time, 995 have signed leaving but 45 more to be obtaned for the successful termination of the council. Every one feels fully assured this will be done in the morning, and it is now believed by a number of mixed breeds, when the full number of names have been secured to make the bill a success, there will be such @ rush from the over- thrown opposition as to make it a most unanimous issue. The influence of Hollow Horn Bear and Yellow Hair on Quick Bear, chief of the Wyiasis, in signing tho treaty, caused him to gracefully follow their exame plo. The only two chiefs left who stand ous are Good Voice and Two Strike. A chief of the Cheyenne river agency, to- day said he wanted to get a copy of the new bill and have it explained to him, then take it to his agency and have it explained there, believing if this is done, the commission would have but little trouble when they came, "The commission will leave here to-morrow afternoon for Valentine, where their special car remains, and leave for Rushville on their way to Pine Ridge. A number of half breeds will go over also, for much of the worl and dispateh in getting the treaty suc- cessfully presented to the Indians here was done by Louis Richards, Louis Bordeaux and Charles Tackett. ‘The commission has great gratification over the result, as there was a secret power, all the more powerful because of its ver cret work, to keep the Indians from signing. There was quite a case in the position of the doctor at the agency yesterday. Dr. Daniels arrived from Washington to assume the position held by Dr. Woodburn. As soon as a telegram_could travel to Washington and back Dr. Woodburn was reinstated. Another agency employce about whom there has not been the least complaint, is H. W.
