The half-breed says the country in which the buffaloes are Is not inhabited by whites, nor does a whitc man pass that way once a month, and the Indians will not be interfered with until they have had time to kill every buffalo in the herd, which will not be long, as they were all well mounted and armed, Cubau Filibustering Expe posed by a United States Marshal, KANSAS CITY, Aug. 2.—Every move- ment of the Cuban fllibustering expedition, headed by Deputy Orville Shelby, is being closely watched by United States Marshal Jo Shelby.

This move is the outcome of a recent order .of the War department and it is conservatively estimated that 1,500 settlers will lose their homes. In early days when the settlement of Wasi- ington was beginning, the government took cccasion to set aside mueh valuable land on which it was intended to establish the In- diaps. These reservations on the par: of the government exceeded the needs of the occa- sion and as it never made an attempt to take up the lands, many pioncers setticd upon the tracts which, by inteMigent cultiva- tion, have been developed into the finest farming land in the state. It is feared here that trouble will ensue should the government attempt to foreibly take from the settlers the homes which they have built by many years of toil. It was claimed by some that this action of the de- partment is simply preliminary to the exten- sive and much ueeded fortification of Puget sound. . —_— Damaged the Dentist's F ST.

The caucus deter- mined to hold a separate convention and un- there is a compromise before morning, two conventions will meet tomorrow. Aside from the announc that Quay has a majority of the delegates, and that there will be probably two conventions, the feature of the day was the capture of the opera house, where the convention Is to be held, the by anti-Quay element. A dramatic company was holding - forth at the opera house, and there was to have been a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight. Chairman Gilkeson bought off the theatrical company, and securing the Keys from the lessee, placed in the house about 100 ex-police- men, special officers and other determined men who arrived from Pittsburg today under arge of Superintendent Roger O'Meara of that city. Thelr meals were sent in to them and they will remain in the house all night. JUDGES MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS. Tomorrow’s convention Is to select candi- dates for state treasurer and superior judge- ips. Haywood of Mercer county will prob- ably be chosen for state treasurer, but in the light of the events of tonight it is pos- sible the six judges who were appointed by Governor Hastings and who, it was thought, would be unopposed| for the nomination, wili find themselves cast aside by the Quay people and new men named for thelr places. The state commi‘tee met again tonight at 11:30 and received from the Quay caucus the request for a separate convention to norrow. The request was referred to a sub- ommittee, who, it Is understood, will en- deavor to arrive at an amicable agreement with the anti-Quay leaders, whereby only e convention may be held. It is also un- derstood that the Quay people have engagel the hall over the Chestnut market house, which seats 500 persons, and will iold their convention there if the effort to arrive at i amicable agreement with the anti-Quay people fails. e anti-Quay leaders are claiming thal there were 150 delegates at their caucus tonight, although there was no roll call, and thut the Quay people worked the old trick of answering o the names of deleg. who were not present. The anti- Quayites say that their forces remain un- shaken and that they will have about 160 delegates in their convention tomorrow. BOTH SIDES CAUCUSED. Both factions of the Pennsylvania rep b- lican party held caucuses in the city tonight. The anti-Quay people got together first, Lut their se:sion was a secret one and lasting only abcut ten minutes. There w roll call. I is understosd th:t Dr. R. Burns of Philadelphia presided. Govern r Hastings offered a re:cluiion askng that a committee of five be appointed to draft the business of the caucus inio shape, and to “ar- range any other business necessary,” which wag adopted. The caucus then adjournel until § o'clock tomorrow. The caucus cf the Quay delegites met in the Quay headquarters at 9:35 o'clock anl the reporters for the newspapers we:e admittel. nator Penrose of Philadelphia was made chairman. The roll of dele- gates was called and 152, whose seats are uncontested, to their names, seven more ough for cholce. Six contestints cilled and the'r votes recorded, and Charman Penrose an- nounced a total of 159 delegates for Quay, six of whom are contestants, leaving 153, or e'ght more than the 145 necessary to elect. Sena- tor Thomas of Philade phia offered a resoiu tion stating- that the cha'rman of the state convention having faled to designate in his call for the convention the place for holding the meeting,a committee should be appointed to se- lect a suitable hall and that t'ckets of aimis sion thereto be issued by the Quay members of the state commitiee. This resolution was adopted after Walter Lyon had made a speach, in which he said it w.s rum red on the stre ts that “it is the purpose of Caairman Gilkeson to attempt to hold the convention in the opera house here, which is now in the possession of desperate set of men. Delegates favorable to Quay,” he sald, “take their lives in their hands when they go to that house tomorrow. Riot and bloodshed may result.” In declaring the meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock Chairman Penrose cautioned the dele- gates to accept tickets cnly from the Quay people and to be prompt and faithful in their attendance at the convention tomorrow.

The dispute over their lands is an old one and is due to the absence of survey WHITES, sesslon in Washington and an agreement was made with them some time ago providing for their | facts developed further | police removal to the Flathead reservation to the north. The agreement has been ratified by congress, but in ent of failure of ratification the Indians are to be seftled on allotments on their present reserva- tion. Captain John W. Bubb notified the Indian bureau last white settlers were encroaching lands, and was instructed to go where the encroachments were being made, mark the boundary lines and warn white settlers to keep off the lands. The trouble arises di rectly from the fact that settlers have been granted land that laps on the reservation and the gencral land office frsued orders a not yet May that the on their | month ago to the land office there to issu | no further patents for lands in the immediate neighborhood of the reservation. el GRASSES e DISAPPEARING, Worthless Weeds ing the Place of itious Buffalo and Mesquite HINGTON, Aug Considerable im- portance, from an agricultural standpoint, at- taches to a circular on experimental grass gar- dens, which has just been Issued as the pub- lcation of the agrostological division of the Agricultural department. It shows grass con ditions in the country and says: “The Amer- fcan has been a grass Killer everywhere. Our native grasses and clovers are being driven out by a foreign species, and the assertion is made that enough money has been spent by American farmers for worthless fodder plants from foreign sources to more than pay the expenses of the whole department for one year.”” The general grass conditions in the country are summed up as follows: ‘“The amount of money Invested in the cattle in- Qustry Is reckoned by the hundred million dollars, and every doliar of that value is ab- solutely dependent upon the question of forage. Strip broad acres of their grasses and clovers, and instead of recelving millions of dollzrs tor the meat products sent to forelgn lands we would have to pay out money for them. The cattle industry and the wool in dustry are dependent upon the question of grass. The native western grasses are being rapidly driven out to make way for the worthless weeds that civilization and scanty cultivation brings with them. Already the buffelo grass and the mesquite have disap- peared from a large section of Kansas and Ne- braska. Acres that were once covered with these most nutritious species are now occu- pled by weedy kinds, and their value as pas- ture and haylands is constantly diminishing. Similar destruction of grasses has followed the cultivation of cotton in the south, and of tobacco and hoed crops generally In all sec- tions of the country.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—Western roads will in all probability be forced to come around and make cheap rates for the Atlanta exposi- tlon, the same as the other roads. They form the only group of lines that has not accepted the suggestion”of the mass meeting of the southern lines held in this city some time ago. Today the Burlington announced that it would make the following rates from Kan- sas City to Atlanta and return-on September and 12, and_every day from September 16 to December 15, inclusive, with final return limit of January 7, $33.40; September 16 to December 15, with final return limits of twenty days from the date of sale $24.50, or September 16 and 26, October 7, 16 and 26, November 5, 15 and 25, with final return limits of ten days from the date of sale, $17.80. These are practically the same rates as were recommended by the mass meeting of the southern lines, and it is difi- cult to see how the other western roads can avold following the lead of the Burlington or refrain from making similar rates.
