Cuicago, Nov. 10.—|Special Telegram to Tue Bee]—A novel strife is going on in Evanston between the members of the col- lege, the Greek lettor fraternities and the anti-fraternity men or barbarians, as ropre- sented by the two college weeklies, Here- after the secret society organ has been alone in the field and has done a thriving business with the village merchants, Three weeks ago the ‘“barbs” bolted from the old paper and started one of their own.

Etche ot tne vight denounced as illegal the action of the government in with- drawing the stipends of clérgymen supposed to be inimical to the republic. M. Faileres, minister of justice, held that the state had an undeniable right to suppress the stipends of ccclesinstics openly opposed to the govern- ment. Tho state, the minister added, was not animated by a soirit of persecution, but was bound to enforce respect for the laws. The estimates were ultimately adopted. John M. Thurston Names Them as Probable Winners in 1802, Cinieaco, Nov. 10.—Hon. John M. Thurston of Omaha, president of the Republican league clubs of the United States, in au inter- view here today on the recent elect'ons, said, referring to tho influence of the McKinley bill upon the result that the natural tendency of prices was upward. As instances can bo named boots and shoes, iron, lumber and other commodities, although the tax was re- duced on these and other things, We struck a rising market with the passage of the Mc- Kinley bill, and all this is laid toit. Judge Thurston thinks that Nebraska and every other western state will go republican in 1802, “I think,” said he, ‘there will be a revival of stalwartism in the republican party such as to make 1802 & great republican year, Republican worke; try did not take an active n this campaign. They felt as though their services to the republ ‘been undervalued, but in 1862 will be at work in support of some who will arouse cnthusiasin, and these very men will lead to victory as heretofore, The result of the v cldction has not_put an end to the presidential chances of either William B.

T i Newfoundland and the Fisheries. Loxpoy, Nov. 10.—|Special Cablegram to Tuz Bee.| ~The Chroniclo this morning pub- lished an interview had with Promier White- way of Newfoundland prior to his departure for home, The premier said that the counter- proposals in a telegram from Nova Scotia had not emanated from the Newfoundland government. The suggestion that England should pay & bounty on fish exported by New- foundlanders bo considered absurd. In ro- gard to America hio belioved that both sides would profit by the acceptance of New found- land’s proposal to give American fishermen the same priviloge in Newfoundland harbors in regard to bait, ete., as Newfoundlanders enjoy in addition to the privilege of the win- ter frozen herring fishery, in return for the admittance of Newfoundland fish products and crude minerals duty free. Ho declared there would be no fear of distress in New- foundland once those questions were settled. en AL i A Fire Legs Crushed.

Dr. Hamlin, pastor of the church of the convenant, where the president attends, declared that the passago of the sil- ver bill had increased the expenses of the Presbyterian foreign missionary board more than §75,000 this year by ncreasig the value of silver in the heathen mnations of the world. Secretary Windom as well as the president was in the congregation and an expressive smilo was seen upon the fac 4 after this laratic After the 8 ces Secrotary Windom remarked to a friend that he thought the silver pool ought to contribute enough to make the Presbyter- iau board of foreign missions win, Senator Stanford’s secretary if the would have any trouble in se otion, “I should say not,” was Ho has already got seven-eighths of the legislature behind him and it looks as if we would have its solid support and an unan- imous election, In many of the di ts the democratic conventions instructed their nom- inees for the state legislature to vote for Stanford for the United States senate. The governor was not intending to be a candidate again, He wanted to devote his entire time 1o the new university he has founded in mem- ory of his son,and it was not until Huntington made an attack upon him that he consented to be a candidate at all. Then his friends told him he mmst run becausd if he withdrew from the field everybody would say that Huntington had scared him out, so he went in and he played to win, and there is not the slightest doubt about FREE COINAGE COMING, It is the prevailing opinion among the poli- ticians here that the next congress will p: a law authorizing free and unlimited si coinage. In other words, they will place sil- ver upon an eqaulity with gold. The senate already has a majority in favor of such a proposition and would have passed it last year if it could have secured the concurrence of the house. In the next congress there will be no dount about it. A SWARM OF SHAD, Colonel McDonald of the United States fish commission dropped a million little shad into the Potomac yesterday. Shad fishing today is on an artifivial basis, as thoroughly as the grain fields of the west, *If you don’t plant wheat, said Colonel McDonald, *you won't have wheat, and it is the same with shad. All our rivers are so completely blocked up ‘with nets every spring that very few shad can come up the river to spawn, and if it were not for artificial culture and the seed: ing of the rivers by the government every spring the shad would disappear. But as it 15, the shad catch this last spring was double in size what it was in 1830 and it is constantly increasing, The Potomuc cateh this year w 50,000, Today we put back three times that many, and remember these shad that go back are not fry, they are well grown fish, Hitherto we have only put in small fry, but our plan now is to keep the shad in ponds until as late in the fall as they can be kept safely and then to turn them out into the river, The plan now is to have big ponds on the side of eachof the shad streams of the country and turn out fingerling shad in the fall instead of letting them go as soon as they ave hatched in the spring. In my opinion this is one of the most important moves the fish commission has ever made. We are making arrangements now for operating a 100-acre pond on the Delaware next spring and we expect most valuable results, The expense s practically nothing and the num- ber of shad that can be raised sumply depends on the size of the pond. One hundred and fifty thousand to the acre can raised without any trouble on the natural food of the water and with artificial feeding this summer can be greatly in- creased. There is no doubt that in order to keep up the fish supply of the country the water must be farmed by the government justas the land is by individuals, The agri- cultural department aids in many ways, but the farmer does the work on the land, but on the water the government has to do all the work, even to the hatching and distribution of the fish. This work is of inestimable value too, for wherever any edible fish is in- troduced into the waters of this country, or the number of those already existing is in- creased, the economic resources and the ma- terial wealth of the country arve increased to that extent. TONORS TO COSTA RICO, Diplomatic circles tonight are discussing with a great deal of interest the arrangements made for the funeral of Benor Federico Volio, oharge d’ affaires of Costa Rico, who was buried this afternoon, A entleman who for nearly thirty years has been identified with ome or another of the legations said, that in all that time, he nas seen a number of diplomatic funerals in Washington, but never one where so wmuch honor was %uld to the deceased by the United States. It has been customary for the diplo- matic corps o attend in a body on occasions of this kind, and the state has always been rvepresented either by the secretary or some unofficial, Today Senor Volio's remains were borne to the grave by a platoon of eight sailors from the United States navy, Honor- ary pallhearers from tho state, war and navy departments were in attendance and the United States marine band accompanied the cortege, as did two companies of cavalry. Secretary Blaine himself was thero and $0 was Chief Clerk Browne of the state depart- ment. Never in the history of the diplomatic service of the United States has so much pomp been showu at the obsequies of the rep- resentative of a foreign government, dying i this capitol. Even when the French minister, who committea suicide some years ago was buried, there was no such display, and the United States should accord this unaccustomed honor toa comparatively insignificant little republio like that of Costa Rica is unaccountable and leads to the impression that it is one result of the pan-American conference and is in the line of Secretary Blaine's determination to show to the sovthern American countries that this government will do all in its power to ce- ment the friendship which that gathering newly initiated. A NECESSARY CHANGE, The death of General David B. McKibben will be likely to cause congress to chunge the army regulations promptly this winter. It seems that the friends of General McKibben who had served for more than twenty years in the regular army before he was retired, fifteen years ago, desied that he should be burled with military honors, but the commanding general decides that he can find neither law nor regulation authorizing him to order the necessary detail. Attentiou is called to the fuct that if this is good law General Sherman will have to be buried with @ military escort.

New York, Nov. 10.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee] vo Indian braves who have been whooping up things for the benefit of the European public in gencral and of Carver & Whitney in particular, were steerage pas- sengers on the Hamburg steamer Augusta Victoria which arrived yesterday. Both braves were without & penny and their en- tire possessions consisted of the rough shirt they wore and a railroad vicket each to Pine Ridze Agency, South Dakota. Painted Horse said they were treated shamefully in the Carver-Whitney show and he gave an ac- count of the ill-treatment to General Obeirne at the barge office through Rev. Father Craft, who acted as interpretur. Substantially Painted Horse said: “There were twenty of us when we left New York, besides Black Bear's squaw and their three children, one a mere papoose. During our travels over Europe wo were beaten, kicked and shot at. Dr. Carver shot at Black Bear, but failed to hit him, though he intended to kill him. Dr. Carver figed at me with a re- volver in Berlin fifteen days ago, but missed me. Our money was not pud regular’y and the whitgs in both shows ried in every wnlv to corrupt the red men. 7The Indian: got li- quor whenever they desired. re¢ ves were in a dying condition when we left. Boar Necklace, Brave Blk and another squaw man were also ill, and & papoose died as we were leaving. We reccived but &5 besides our tickets, and now we have nothing.

The food Buffalo Bill sup- plied was bad and the braves who ate it weie sick. Buffalo Bill was bratal.”” Agent Marsh corroborated all that Painted Horse said. Both Cody and Whituey, he said, had left white men stranded in _various parts of Europe. Some avenow in Hamburg peaniless. Three young Americans wera left without a cent. Others from London and Paris have no means_to get home. General Obeirne will go to Philadelphia as soon as the remainder of Buffalo Bill’s Indians ar- rive there on the Belgenland. He will assist. Herbert Welch, secretary of the Indian’ rights association, in investigating the treatment of the braves, General Obeirne has a copy of the agree- ment entered into by the Carver combination in which good treatment to the Indians is specified particularly as one of the condi- tions of their cngagement. A copy of Painted Horse's statement, will be prepared and for- warded to the secratary of the interior and to the Indian commissioners. According to lat- est advices the Buffalo Bill Indians will ar- rive in Philadgelphia next Thursday. ————— Dr. Bright's Assailant Held.

At12 our eightyoar contract expires.’” It was also learned that the Bt. Paul, under the torms of the contract, owned three-fourths of all its 8leeping cars, Pullman owning the other fourth, A story was widely circulated this after- noon that J. Pierrepout Morgan, o large holder of both St. Paul and Wagner slecping car securities, had engineered the deal with a view of tho supplanting of Pullman cars with Wagner's, This story is denied by St. Paul oficials, They declare they are tired of seeing a slecpng car company take the cream of the business, and the St. Paul pro- poses to keep such earnings in tho future. Assistant General Passenger Agent Miller will have complete charge of the new sleep- ing car department. Tho magnitude of the movement may be seen from the fact that 150 sleeping cars are involved, averaging daily earnings of 60 each, The point of most in- terest to railroad men_seems, however, to bo whether the action of the St. Paul will be taken as a precedent by other lines, Ohairman Finley Olinches His Order.

Lord Salisbury, in replying to the toast to the governwment, said he regarded as a good omen of peaco the fact that the czarowitch was about to visit India as a guest of the queen. Although the dispute with Portugal had pot been so happily arranged as jnattors with France and Germiany, still the ‘position did not justify any sinister apprecusions. Referving to America, Lord Salisbury said the McKinley tariff' law would certainly affect some, portions of British commerce ree traders could rejoice over the recent electoral victories in the United States as a protest against the extravagant and utterly lfish protection policy. But they must not v conclusions too rashly. They mu: faco the prospect of prohibitivo tariff land yad no retaliatory schome as she had re- duced her own tariff to the lowest point.

Unwise theorists and in- terested politicians might mislead some work- ingmen butthe heartand the mind of the country would remain patriotic_and true to its economic and commercial traditions, The premier said he believed the McKinloy bill was duo to the idea that American pigs had failed to receive proper treatment at the Lands of Eurode. He regarded the tariff question as the world’s conflict of the future, “Jt will be_an interesting consideration for us,” he said, ‘‘whether our attitude can be sustained or whether the madness of neighbors will force us to deflect, in any degree from the sound and sen- sible position we now occupy. The premier declined to enter into political prophecies, the futility of which, he said, recent events had shown. For instance, Boulanger won in all the elections of France, but failed to win in the gnd.

Suell was shot down by somo ono who had broken into his house, One bullet pierced his heart and another lodged in his brain, ‘When found, the old man had a pistol in his hand, from which Le had fired several times, The body was found early noxt morning by the family conchman, lying in a pool of blood at the head of the stairs leading to the base- ment. Further down on the stairs were blood stains, from which traces it was gener- ally believed that the murderer or murderers nhad been hit during the affray. Finally it was announced that Willie Tascott had com- mitted the crimo and the chase after him commenced. A reward of $25,000, afterward increased to 850,000, was offered for Tascott and not for the mu rer. Tascot commenced 1o be captured at least three times a day, but edach capture fuiled of idoutification.

My husband called on him to see how he was getting along and Mr, Stone showed him & wound in the leg which ho said he had received while in thearmy. The wound, he oxplained, hud brolken out afresh . on account of the yiolent exercise to which he had subjected the leg during his trip, It was always known that Mrs. Stone was in Mr. Snell’s will.” T have not read what Mrs, Snell, ir., has said about we aad T will not read i, sald 3 I donot care what she says, annot hurt me.

It was withdrawn because we thought- some good might come from a policy of quiet. There is absolutely no truth in the statement that we are indiffcrent in the matter of ‘Tascott's capture,” In the meantime public excitement is at fever heat again in Chicago over the latest developments in this cause cclebre, and the willionaire's will is still missing. —_——— MILITARY COLLEGES, How Fatisfactory Results May Be Ob- tained from Their Maintenance, WasmiNotoN, Nov. 11.—Acting Adjutans General McKeever in his annual report to tho secretary of war devotes much space to the subject of military colleges.
