WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE BEE, 1407 F Street, N. W. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. The arrest of Captain P. H. Ray, U, 8. A., acting Indian agent at Bhoshone agency, near Tort Washakie, has excited a good deal of nterest among officials at the Interior and War departments, Captain Ray Is recognized &s an honorable and capable officer, and the Memocratic spollsmen who are trying to drive Bim out of ofice to make room for some clvillan who can be manipulated by them have entirely failed to make an impression here unfavorable to the eaptain. Soon after Captain Ray was appointed Indian agent, at the beginuing of this administration, the trouble began between the people of Fremont county and himself, and the former have kept up the fight against him until it has culminated In the criminal charge, which Wil have to be settled by the courts. Prior s appolntment It was an easy matter to Molate the law, directly or by devious ways, “Without serlous interference on the part of the agent. Cattle were allowed to graze at Will ‘on the Shoshone reservation, and the or was open to the spoils which, under cer- tain conditions, can be gathered under the sdministration of indolent or corrupt officials. Captain Ray changed all this by adopting mothos lu.fruluc! the Interests of the gov- ernment and of the Indians. The department officials express fympathy with Captain Ray in the course he Bas pursued, and say they have no knowledge that ho has In any way excceded his author- ity or neglected his duty. Numerous petitions have been recelved at the office of the com- nfesioner of Indlan affairs asking for the re- noval of Captain Ray, but the officials re. fuse to be influenced by them to displace an officer who, they say, they are convinced is the right man in the right place SUSTAINED BY THE DEPARTMENT. Commissioner Browning is now on a tour JOf inspoction in the west, but Assistant Com- lssloner Armstrong, who has taken special inferest in the case from the beginning of the fight on Agent Ray, sald today to the correspondent of The It “The whole trouble is that Captain Ray has performed his simple duty. This, of course, has not Proved agreeable to the ranchers, who have always been permitted to let thelr cattls run loose over the Indlan agency, and they have instituted the fight solely with the idea of their own betterment. Captain Ray is an excallent man for the position. He is a reg. mlar army officer and has had experierce wh o Bas aided him in the performance of his dutles. There s no likelhood of his re moval. _Some ten days before his arrest Captain Ray informed the office that there Yas some plan afoot by which he would be arrested, and he asked if the Indfan of- fice would lend official assistance. Tl grams were Immedfately sent assuring him that the ofice would certainly afd him in the matter. T think Captaln Ray has been Mronged from the outset, and the officials of this office will certainly stand by him." The charge of collusion with ex-Cowboy Charles Blondle {n misbranding live stock ith criminal intent is a matter which the officlals decline to discuss, as it will be slifted by the courts in due time. The remains of the late Captain Phillip H. Price, U. 8.

The ashes of the deceased offi- ger were brought to this city and interred at Arlington. — The Interment was private, the ashes being accompanied only by the im. mediate family and a fow Intimate friends.

Gosslp from ‘Washington Aboat the Am- bassadors and Thelr Stafrs, WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—Commandant Grandprey, military attache of the French gmbassy here, has returned from a trip through California and Alaska.

The latter was very active In the recent rebellion in strengthening President Peixoto against Ad- miral da Gama and the rebellious navy which bombarded Rio for weeks. Mr. Mendonca had one of the Red Line steamers of New York transformed into a warship named the Niohteroy, which proceeded to Rio and prom- dsed to cause consternation with its dynamile ghells if the rebellion had not unexpectedly ended. For this and other vigorous steps agalnst the rebels he Incurred thelr bitter Tostllity, and the recent report of his prob- able recall is traced to the intrigues of this element, which has recently been taken back into citizenship. GAUTEMALA HAS NO OBJECTIONS. Docs Not Like the Sugar Sehedule, but Wil Not Make Fuss, WASHINGTON, Oct. S.—Minister Arraga ©f Guatemala has been offclally advised by the State department here that the new tarift law terminates the reciprocity treaty petween the United States and Guatemala and has transmitted the notification to his government. He has not as yet recelved any directions as to the course Guatemala will pursue, He says, however, that no pro- test or other step similar to those taken by Bpain, Germany and Brazil s contemplated “There will be no discrimination nst the United States as a result of the change," said Senor Arraga. ‘‘Guatemala will merely re-establish her old duties as against the United States which will place this coun- fry on the same footihg with other countries At 48 my personal opinion that the reciprocity trealy was very beneficlal to both countries. Guatemala used immense quantities of barbed wire made here. It is chiefly an agricultural oountry and the American barbed wire has €ome to be the only material used in fencing Off the farms. It was admitted to Guatemala free of duty under the reciprocity treaty, which greatly stimulated its use. Almost il the agricultural implements used in Guate- Mala were also brought from the United Btates, as they were fade free of duty by the reciprocity treaty, other classes of manu- fagtured Iron goods, such as rallroad supplies, mikchigery, etc., wers also brought in large quaptities by Guatermala under the reciprocity arrhngement. “On the other hand, our country has been Dle to ship sugar In largo quantities to the nited States, as that article was admitted of duty. Now, however, the new slgar uty of 40 per ceft ad valdrem amounts to AD absolute prohibition against all shipments ugar from Guatemala to the United States. This s the more marked from the fact that the United States treaty with Hawsil admita sugar free trom duty, so that while Guatemala fs on the same footing Brazil, Cuba and other southern sugar countries in having an Amercan duty of 40 per cent against them, yet it and all other southern countries a at the dvantage of having a sugar pro- ducing competitor, Hawail, which has free sccess to this country.” He added: "It Is not for Guatemala or any other southern country to do anything except to acquiesce fn the American tariff, It should be borne in mind that ft was the United States which Inaugurated the reciprocity policy. It took the first ateps and Invited the southern and Central American republics to enter into closse commerolal arrangements, These countries | reciprocated the kindly feeling and many of them entered into the arrangements which the United States proposed. States was therefore the moving power and i it now sees fit to terminate that policy it is not for the southern countries to urgs Its continuance.

Five of the Muyor's Appointees Resign and Retire. ibered that Mayor Bemis named a committee of citizens' and invited its members to formulate needed Ccharter amendments to be submitted to the next legislature for enactment. The city coun- cil also authorized President Howell to select a number of citizens for a like purpose, which was done. It soon became apparent that these must be merged In order to prevent conflict, and to make effec- tive the findings of one or both. Yesterday afternoon the citizens commit- tee beld its second meeting in the mayor's office. Mr. Kennedy of the Bemis commit- tee, which was appointed to confer with the councll committee, with a view to the con- solidation of the ‘two committees, reported that it it was desired to act jolntly with the council committee some of the citizens ap- pointed by the mayor would have to step down and out. The men who were objected 10 by the combine were John D. Howe, V. O. Strickler, St. A. D. Balcombe, George F, Munro and himself. This information had been imparted to the special committee by President Ifowell of the council, and the council had agreed to consolidate issues With the citizens’ committee providing these ectionable persons were withdrawn. Mr. iedy stated that in his opinion this was the only way to secure harmony, and he offered a motion that these fi gentiemen be dropped from the committe The situation had previously been explained 1o most of the members present and all five of the gentlemen mentioned at once handed r resignations. The motion was car- I and the mayor will call the remaining ten members together with the council com- mittee to me some time this week. It was explained while Mr. Kennedy's mo- tion was pending that the resignations of the mombers wete not demanded by a majority of the councll committee. Messrs. Wheeler and Bechel were the only ones who had objected to any of the names on the com- mittee, and it had finally been decided that nothing .could be done unless the two com- mittees could get together, and that as Wheeler and Bechel absolufely refused to have anything to do with a committee that inoluded the gentleman named, the conces- sion would have to be made in order to ae- complish anything The consolidated committes now consists of Councilmen Bechel, Wheeler, Burkley, Lemly and Howell and Messrs. Andrew Rose- water, J. H. Millard, W. S. Poppleton, E. R. Overall, Henry Wyman, J. H. Dumont, A. P. Tukey, J. H. Winspear, J. R. Cornish, Georgs H. Boggs, L. D. Fowler, George R. Doane and W. J. Connell In withdrawing from the committee, Mr. Howe stated that he should like to suggest to the committee the advisability of making some amendment in regard to the present status of the city council. He was opposed 1o the present system of having counclimen- at-large, and thought that'they should either be abolished or provision made for an upper house, so that any important measure would have to pass both bodies before it reached the mayor. Judge Cornish of St. Paul had told Lim that this system was adopted in St. Paul two years ago, and they had found it a very salutary measure, and the speaker thought that a similar plan could be adoptad in Omaha with suc 8. Mr. Boggs had an opinion in regard to the action of the members of the council committee, and he didn’t care who knew it, He thought that Mr. Howe was the last man who could be spared from the commit- tee, and, as for himself, he would absolutely refuse to serve. He was beginning to doubt whether it was advisable to amend the char- ter. The council had pretty near power enough to ruin the people now, and if the ided” was to give them the power to still further encroach on the rights of the public then he was opposed to amendments. It was about time that some action was taken to protect the property owners, fnstead of giv- ing power o the council to be abused. Mr. Cornish also asked to be allowed to resign, but both gentlemen were flually pre- valled on to wait until after the reorganized committes had been called together. The following resolution, which w. by Mayor Bemis, was réferred committee Resolved, That all sections of the charter relating to public work be so amended as to provide that all public work shall be done by day work, under the direction of the Board of Public Works; and be it rther Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the chair to draft a bill mak- essiary amendments to the char- ing the v 1er to carry this resolution into effect Tt will be rem committees offered to the new WAR ON THE 4. P. A Awmerican Liberal League Organized to Op- pose All the Order's Candidates. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.—Open and or- ganized warfare against the American Pro- tective association has commenced in this it Meetings have been held in every pre- cinct and an organization called the Ameri- can Liberal league has been formed by a number of prominent lay members of the Roman Catholic church to devise plans for the defeat of candidates in the coming elecs tion who may be supporfed by the American Protective association. The organizers of the American Liberal lesgue have employed every available means to learn the plans and methods of the American Protective associa- tion. They claim to have obtained accurate accounts of the American Protective assocla- tion meetings In this city, with the rituals and oaths of the varlous lodges. James F. Smith, an attorney, who Is a prominent mover in the American Liberal league, said: “Our league is an organizea body; it is only by combination we can fight the A. P. A. movement. By thorough district and central organization we will try to see that none of the A. P. A's are elected. The local popu- list. ticket is largely A. P. A. in its makeup and the municipal nonpartisan tleket also contains many A. P. A. names. In the re- cent republican municipal convention there were sixty-seven members of the A. P. A and its ticket also has many names which the American Liberal league will openly de- nounce." el R A line of through palace buffet slecping car between Chicago and New York City has been placed at the disposal of the traveling public, and runs over the Nickel Plate road and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western rail- road.

D., Oct. 8—(Special)— The attention of outside smelters is now being drawn to the Black Hills as a source of supply for fluxing ores. A short time ago tho Smelter Clearing assoclation of Den- ver, Colo.,, contracted for 12,000 tons of such ores, and already many shipments have been made, Should this character of ore prove of the right quality, and there is no doubt but what it will, there is sufficient of it in the Black Hills to keep every smelter in the | Black Hills supplled. In the Bare Butte district there are sev- eral locations containing an ore that is known to be the best in the world for this purpose. It occurs in blanket veins, varying in thick- ness from four to eight feet, resting on a quartzile stratum, and covered by but a few feet of soil, so but little labor would be re- quired to put the claims In a condition to furnish any amount desired. In other dis- tricts of the Hills the same formation ap- pears, and now that attention is being called to it will be added as another source of wealth to this country. It means much for the Hills, as it will make profitable a char- actor of property which has hitherto been and N | streets and the latter at Twenty-sixth and | 50 badly | Mr. | speakers ad- | They mad: a hasty re- | | “dead |ar looked upon as 80 much waste. The Yellow Creek mines are proving much better than the fondest imaginings of their locators ever colored them. A little oVer two months ago the district was not thought of in a productive sense, thers not being a location throughout its entire extent that had on it more than & prospect hole, but to- day there are being handled by the Dead- wood reduction plants hundreds of tons daily from that particular locality, and some of the ore is proving to be very rioh. One batch of 100 tons from the locations of A. Q. McShive & Co., which was handlad by a local plant, gave net returns to the shippers | of $96 per ton. Other smaller batches have returned values ranging from $43 to $290 per ton. While two months ago not an ounce of ore was being shipped from these mines today hundreds of tons are being handled daily, Omaha and Denver smelters treating a good deal of It. Had this find occurred in far-off Africa, or even In the Inaccessible regions of Colorado, it would have been looked upon as one of the greatest mining strikes of the age, but as yet very little outside attention has been attracted to it As it is, the locations, owned in the main by poor ‘men, carry ore which always finds a ready market, and, as a consequence, the work of development cannot be classed as work,” but pays for Process progresses, so the result is that the owners are not required to wait for the whims or kindness of eastern eapitalists for the n ary funds to put their claims in shape. It Is certainly one of the most im- portant discoveries that has been made In | the Black Hills for years, and as the ore | carries but a small” percentage of silver their value cannot be affected by the fluctua- tions of the white metal. MADE A SUCCESSFUL TEST. The South Dakota Mining company, which for a year past has been making extensive preparations to begin the reduction of ores on its properties, started up its chlorination plant at Garden City a few days ago on twenty-five tons of ore from the Gunnison mine in the Bald mountain district. This test, which was satisfactory, was followed by on ore from the Katie and Josle, situ- ated on Anna creek. This latter ore in for- mer tests was given returns ranging from $25 to $66 1n gold per ton, and should the char- acter of the ore continue to be as good, the plant will be kept busy upon it. The Homestake Minlng company has de- clared its regular monthly dividend—the 194th since its organization—of $2 tal up to date of $5,287,000, which is pretty good for a mine which has bedn in operation but a little over fifteen years, and upon whose stock but one assessment has ever been levied. HOMESTAKE FIGURES. From the report of the superintendent of the Homestake—one of the Homestake com- itself as the | pany's mines—for the year, the following figurcs may prove of interest, as showing what It costs to run a mine which has been thoroughly developed in the highest sense: REC PTS.

Renewed activity seems to have taken pos- session of prospectors and mine owners throughout the Hills, and work is being pushed on locations which have lain idle for years, the discovery of sillceous ores, and the development of cheap processes for their reduction having had the desired effoct, and now not a mountain side or gulch but what has its quota of workers, all happy in the expectation of the fortune which they hope their labors will uncover, Health, strepgth contentment are pro- moted by using Dr. Price's Baking Powder.
