The recent agitation of the question asto whether ornot women are eligible for service us lay delegates to the general conference is, says Dame Rumor, due to the desire of theso friends to secure the position for the great temperance advocate.

These con ferences have been necessitated by the tile attitude of the Mdians and view of the auncuncement that awmongr them and who has promis the white men into their hands for punish- ment. For awhile there was littlo apprehen- sions of trouble of any magnitude but a com- munication received ‘at theinterior de| ment from Agent Royer at the Ridge caused a great deal of He represented that while attending a ghost dance the other evening a party of In- dians became very insolent and befligerent and when rebuked anuounced th of going on the warpath. An cffort was made to arvest the offenders wheren members of their tribe interfe the agent was compelled to their release. This med only to increase their evil designs and they went away threatening dire vengeance upon the agent and all conneceed with him and it is feared that serious results might be appre- hended. With a view to averting trouble he recommends that United States troops be or- dered to the scene of the tnreatencd disturh- ance and be present particularly the next time that rations are issued two weeis hen It was also stated by the agent that the were many things of which the interior de- partment” should be informed and that he would have to come to Washington as ho could not tell it all in a written document. ¢ upon the receipt of this commu- nication Acting Seeretary Chandler of the in- or department sent to the president, who summoned the acting secretary of war, Gen eral Grant, and the greatc ion of tho day was devoted to this matter.

The fact that Senator Gorman is in New York and has been consulting with Governor Hill of that state on the question of the speakership of the next house has caused at deal of comment in democratic e at the capitol. That this subject was discussed s known and twosignificant points in regard to 1592 aredrawn from the interview. The first is that Gorman und his colleagues are afraid of the tremendous mujority in’ the next house and kuow that the only way to save it from blundering is to have aquiet and conserya- tive speaker. From his position of promi- nence the next speaker of the house will bo 1 training for tho tail end of the democratic ticket, therefore Governor Hill has an inter? in the selection of the coming man. The second point educed from the interview is the fact that Gorman and the democratic sena- tors are offering their aid to Hill to secure the nomination for the head of tho ticket in 1502, with the speaker of the house as the vice presidential nomince and Hillas the president. The former must naturally come from the west, as the latteris from t st. This is what the southern democrats rave about. They say thatthe senate, with the Hill democrats, will try to crowd out the south and put a western man in the speaker's chair, They are boiling mad over the ‘:rm pect and declare the senate has no right to interfero i house matters, especially the selection of a speaker, But this will not de- feat Gorman from making s deal with Hill. Of all the western men spoken of, there are three to be selected from. They are Bynum of Indiana Springer of 1llinois and Hatch of Missouri, Bynum is t0o loud-mouthed for Gorman, Springer is effervescing and uncertain and tho remaining man secms to be the only one left. 1f he can be induced to become a HIill man against Cleveland the combine’s efforts must bein his favor, but if the deal cannot be made in this way the Gorman combination will have to look elsewhere for o speaker, perhaps further west than theregions nawed.!

Hog Product Freight Rat Superintendont Edward A, Cudahy of tho Armour-Cudahy packing houses, on being nsked his opinfon on the action of the Alton in reducing the rate from 25 to 18 conts on live hogs from Kansas City to Chicago, said | “Of courso this affocts us, The same rate will gointo effect from what ave known as the Missouri river poiuts, It just puts us 7 conts closer Chicago on live hogs, and in my opin fon is inequitable and unjust, but we can do nothing until we see what the railroads will do. The secrot of this whole matter is that the Alton has a contract with two of the Kansas City packers to carry live hogs at not more than 22 conts and not loss than 19 | vents, and this prevents the advancing of the | rates to cents, This of course makes the | Alton the dictator on zht rates and provents the rates on live hogs being ad vanced to 25 conts, and we think it should be. This action of reducing th on live hogs to 18 cents from 25 ¢ents to Chicago, instead of advancing the rates on packing house pro- ducts to a corresponding wmount simply puts shippers one-third neaver Chi and will compel us to pay at least 7 cents more for hogs than eastern buyers, and to that extent vo them an udvantage over loc Mr. Cudaliy would not suggest a means of sventing or counteracling this chenge in rates, Manchester Martyrs.
