After the adjournment of the ck deputies an Associated press correspo called: upon the Marquis di Rudini and asked bum if it was possible for him to give an opinion for publication in rezard to the reply of the United States sccretary of state, Mr. Blaine, to his (Marquis di Rudini's) last note on the subject of the New Orleans lynch- ing. In reply the Marquis di Rudinf said, in substance, that the cabled summaries of Blaine's reply which had been sent to and which bie had seen in the public pi this city were too brief and otherwise in- adequate to enable him to form defiuite opinions, much less give an _opi:iion for pub- lication, even 1f he fult justined in adopting the latter course of action. The marquis added that he preferred not to say anything further while waiting the receipt of the full text of Blaine's reply, except that he was now and had always been sincerely desirous of a friendly solution of the difficulties at present existing between the Italian govern- ment and_the government of the United States, Though the full correspondence kiven out in Washington yesterday was tele- graphed to London by Reuter's telegraph company and was published in the English papers, only a summary was telegraphied from London for the full correspondence.

Thisis the first instance of a United States army officer being detailed to serve in a German regiment, and the fact that he is permitted to jon the Westphalia hussars shows the kinaly feeling of the Germaa gov- ernment and that there is 1o jealousy on the part of the military authorities here, Licutenant Clarke is a kiusman of Licutenat General Von Versen the commander of the third army corps.

H. Hurlbert, and it looks as if Hurlvert would win. He was subjected to a searching cross- examination and denied every allegation muce by the plaintf. He denied enwage- ment to the woman, that he gave her a ring, that he wrote to her, and that he met her. The man i the casg, he says, is Wilfred Murray, once his s retary. Ho had not seen him since 18%0. Murray fished in troubled waters, but occasionally got valuable in- formation. In Franee Murray was a Bou- langist and in Ireland a home ruler. His bandwriting is like the defendant's, He last employed Murray in 1890, und is now trying to find him. He traced him to Philadelphia recéntly and was in communication with the American police. The defendant said he was an American and was proud of his national- ity. He considered the case a trumpery pro- ceeding when it was #alled to his notice, and put it in the hands of Oakley Hall. The lat- ter told him there wafe letters of a most atro- ious character which he treated with con- tempt. From womes pointed out to him he could not tell which was the plaintiff. The defendant said he was very near sighted, as all his friends know, did not keep a dairy, but when traveling he put notes in his guide book. He was with bis wife, and other per- sons whom ho named,‘when the plaintiff said he was at GGhent with ber September 1. He had not been thqré 1n twenty-four or thirty years.

Governor Jones—You would find ali Alabama at your back, sir. [Great cheering) Tne president, in conclusion, said that he was giad to know that in addition to all this businest they are doing they are attending to education and those things “that conduce to social order. “'So long as we have pure homes and God fearing order loving fathers und mothers rear children that are given 10 them and make these homes the abodes of cleanli- piety and intelligence.

Being half-breeds they were allowed to proceed.

No Trouble Feared. . Rirro-Orrt, S, D April 16.—fSpecial Telegram to Thx Bee.[—Dr. McGillicuddy of this city, who has justreturned from the east, was shown the dispatch from Pine Riage announcing the presence of Cheyenne agency Indians at Wounded Knee, and their appareat disposition to make trouble. He is imclined to attach little importance to the matter, and said: +0f course there is considerable bad feel- ing among a certain portion of the bucks, ex- tending into the upper Missouri districts, but those bellizerently inclined are largely in the majority. My be is that by throw- mg in a large Wumber of treops last fall the government precipitated the In- dian trpubles. The same cause would have a similar effect today, hence 1 say that Ser ator Pettigrewssuggestion of placiag troop along the Cheyenne river, if carried out, it will result_disastrously. Particularly as the Indians look for the Messiah on July'l. Ex- trenfe caution must be practiced. The In- dians, much to my surprise, have almost all returned to their oid homes with peaceable intentions. The presence of troops would be an admirable pretext for the warriors to in- cite the friendlies to hostilities. It would take a short time for the Sioux to master over 3,000 warriors. General Miles knew he could never have disarmed the Indians™ with the troops at his command and was glad 'to leave affairs as he did. Published a Lottery Advertisement. Stoux Fais, S.

Others who patroled the base of mouns tains, in rounding-up the big herds tuat used to graze here stumbled over rich float.

One could easily make upa | list of names of men who have at uear and remote, made big wages for one or more seas in panmng out pay dirt or in Wwashing s out of the gravel by erude means, As far back as the fifties parties set out fop theso hills and engaged in gulch mining, They did not desert for the lack of ood suce cess, but for the reason the sure argc mie in d imen of gold-bearin, had picked up in a guleh, not many distant, must have ¢ i the neight imes nuge that big strikes, or rumors of them, elsewhere stampeded the outfit, This has never been a particularly attracte ive or convenient locality for lone prospectors, vway. The natural disadvantages, as well as the remoteness from the base of supolies, made a campaign here one full of perplexities and even peril. Siuce the town of Saratoga was started, however, there has been more and more prospecting done as the seasons went bys That being naturally the base of supplies, has made oute fitting mnot only more convenient but less expensive than when had to depeud on one of the railroad towns as trading poiuts as was the case until quite re cently. But some how orother a little party of prospectors got 1n_here last summer. The men who composed it seem to have had bete ter staying qualities than the pioneers, Patienice and persistence had their reward, Near the head of & gnlch, which has been named Gold Run, was located a lead that prospected big for gold. This find, called the Patent Right. encouraged a more energetio hunt for other leads. As a result within the succeeding few weeks were located a nume ber of rich prospects in the immediate vie clnity. When the Stampede rted. News of the strike was carried about and in time reached other camps, far and near, Old prospectors and new adventurcrs began to flock in. It was so late in the season that only a few of the many who cami into their new camp had the pluck to stay b; it. Most of them knew from experience more or less bitter, what wintering in these mountains meant. As one of them put it, 1% is winter all the year round and for the othep nine months you can't live here. When this tide of prospectors set in, 1§ lacked but a few weeks till snow fall. After that snow might be expected to come down als most perpetually till nearly the corresponding time this year. There didn’t seem to be much of an inducement for a 1nan to do the assesss ment work on a claim that might be jumped before he could get back to it again to begin its development. It was apparcat to all who did any prospecting therc that if anything rich wus found it would be @ hard matter to hold onto the property, The leads lay so thick that several could be found within thelimits civcumscribed oy the United States mining laws for an indle vidual claim. Under the circumstances there was bound to be encroachments on adjoining property. Then would follow the wrangling and perhaps bloodshed o0 comuon 10 new mining camps. To avert trouble of this sort th tors got together and held a meeting to dee vise ways and means to prevent dissension, They agreed atong themselves last October that they would cut down thas width of thefe claims just half —taking 150 fext on cach sida of the lead instead of 300 fget as tho Uuited States laws allow. Pluck Was Needed, Who ever inspirad the locators of claims ta stay by them during the long wal® of eigh months or more that confronted them ti winter should throw off its mantl to him belongs ‘the credit of bein, the founder of Gold Hill. It needed some man with pluck to form the resolution to winter on the mountaing and stick to it as an example for others to fol low. If the man of the hour had not been in the outfit the location notices that were pub up last full would have been of no more ads count than thousands of others by which prospectors have blazed tracks along the backbone of the continent which they never traversed a second time. But camps were pitched and from present iudications it will be a long time before they are struck Now what has boen the cousequenced Simply this: A mining district has been 68« tablished to which thousands of prospictors are bound to rush. The advance guard of an army is already besieging an ice buttressed camp.
