THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1897. REDSKINS ARE ON THE WARPATH Anxious for a Brush With Cowboys at Lame Deer. Six Companies of Regulars Cool the Fighting Ardor of the Braves. Now There Is a Controversy at the Agency Over the Surrender of Murderers. HELENA, MoxT., May 31.—The present trouble at the Lame Deer Agency between the Cheyenne Indians and white settlers is but an acute phase of the armed neu- trality of that section. Bad blood has existed a long time between the cowboys and Indians. When the cowboys get drunk they kill an Indian and the red men reciprocate. The Indians often kill range cattle, and when they are detected by a lone herder they kill him to destroy the evidence. The result is they distrust each other, and bushwhacking is the rule. The feeling became so intense recentiy over the murder of a man named Hoover that it stirred the whites to a fighting point, and they sent the women and chil- dren 1o bvlaces of safety. They congre- gated near the agency for the purpose of compelling the surrender of the Indians who were known to have killed Hoover. ‘The Indians put on their war paint and expressed a desire to have a brush with the whites. Captein Stouch of the regu- lar army, agent at Lame Deer, asked jor the protection of troops. Now he has six companies from Fort Custer and Fort Keogh. The Indians repudiate any wish to tackle the soldiers, but say they want a ; chance at the cowboys and ranchmen. While there is intense excitement and many hostile demonstrations it is not be- lieved anything like a battle or massacre will oceur, especially since the arrival of the troops. Early reports of the killing of five soldiers seem utterly unfounded. A conflict of authority has arisen be- tween the agent and Sherifl. A laree force of Deputy Sheriffs went to Lame Deer, and demanded the surrender of the guilty Indians, but the agent ordered them off, saying he would secure the ar- rest of the accused when the excitement had subsided. The deputies returned to Miies City snd secured a warrant for the srrest of the agent for obstructing officers in the execution of their duties, and an augmented force of deputies started back for the agency to effect his arrest. As the agency is sixty mles from the nearest telegraph office the rasult of the expedi- tion is not known. The dispute over authority is due to the recent decision of | the Supreme Court on a reservation District Court of a county, and not in the United States courts. Governor Smith wired President Mc- Kinlev to-day of the sction of the agent, and asked that he be directed to reirain from interfering with the sheriffs. The Governor hoids that the agent is clearly wrong, and that it is his duty to assist the court officers in arresting the dccused in- stead -of shiel g them. SERIES OF EARTHQUAKES. Protracted” Shocks hre Rsported From Many Places i the Miadle and Southern States. ATLANTA, Ga., May 3L.—The rattling of china in closels and vioient shaking of houses throughout the city at 1 o'clock this afternoon convinced people that shey were in the midst of an earthquake such as they have neot experienced since 1884, Hundreds ran irom their houses. Temple Court building, eight stories of granite and brick, was shaken on every fioor. On the eizhth floor.the vibration was such as to alarm all the inmates that they ran into the halls expecting a col- lapse. Reports from the surrounding country, say that 1he shocks were widespread over the mountain district. Near Buford there was a school commencement in progress. The schoolhouse was filled, and one of the orators was in the micst of a declamation when the rattling of the windows and shaking of the building brought him to a stop, and the audience made & wild rush for the door. In Murphy, N. C., the earthquake lasted longer than anywhere eise. The inhab- ants estimate its duration at two min- utes. All through the mountain district of North Carolina the earthquske was violent. From mauy poiuts reporis come of two distinct earthquakes, one following the other with an interval of about five minutes. RALEIGH, N. C., May 31.—There wasa very severe earthquake to-day in the northern part of this State. Chimneys were thrown down and buildings in some places badly shaken. T'here were two dis- tinet shocks, lasting thirty seconds each. PARISBURG, Va., May 3L — Earth- quake shocks have been experienced in Giles County nightly since the 25th, and people are moving out. An eruption is expected-in the mountains neat here. It is said that the earthquakes have made a fissure a mile and a half in length. PETERSBURG, Va., May 3L.—A sharp shock of earthquake was felt here at 2 o'clock this afternoon. A woman living on High street was thrown from her bed. The shock was felt in all of the adjacent counties. In Richmond some people were made seasick by the swayine sensation. BALTIMORE, Mp., May 3L.—Three dis- tinct earthquakes were felt this alternoon. Reports from the eastern shore and South- ern Maryland say the shocks were noticed in those parts. Similar reports were re- ceived from Indianapolis, 1nd., Louisviile, Ky., and Ohio towns. et R MANITOBA INDIANS SUBDUED. A mighty Voice and Two of His Murdercus Band Sla:n by a Party of Canadian Vo'unteers. OTTAW A, Oxtario, May 31.—The Gov- erament announced in the House to-night that the Indian uprising in Manitoba was promptly stamped out yesterday. Intel- Jigence has just been received from Prince Albert that the timbered biuff in which the outlawed Indian Almighty Voice and his followers bad taken refuge and jortified themseives has been shelled by a detachment of mounted police. The out- law and two of his followers were slain. Aboui 100 armed civilans were assisting the police in maintaining a cordon around the bluff, and, becoming impatient at the tcrimes committed | should be tried in the | | | | from Russian soil and as an invidious dis- in charge to allow them to storm the bluff. The volunteers, led by a lawyer named James McKay, rushed upon the fastness of the desperadoes, who, taken by surprise, only had time to fire three shots. Almighty Voice was shot through the heart. There were no casualties among the Canadians. The bodies of the Canadians recently killel at Grundy, Kerr and Hocken were taken to Duck Lake. The Indisns were buried where they fell. The Government anticipates no furtner trouble. — RAILROAD CROSSING DISASTER. Train Dashes Into a Tally-Ho Party, Kill- ing Two and Injuring All of the O:hers. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 31.—A tallo- ho carrying a happy party ot twenty-four young people out for a day’s fun was run down this afternoon by a Long Isiand railroad train. Four of the occupants were killed outright, one died within a few minutes, half a dozen were terribly injured and nearly all the others were hurt. The ride wasarranged by the Alpba Delta Ciub of Brookiyn, most of the mem- vers of which are also members of the Green-avenue Baptish Church. The ac- cident happened at Valley Stream, filteen miles from Brooklyn. The Mineola and Valley Stream Branch leaves the railroad there, shooting off to the north. A quarter of a mile from the station the Merrick road, the chiet Long Island, crosses the track at a grade. On the three corners of this crossing the wood is thick and it 1s not possible for persons traveling along the road to see a train coming, nor is it possible for an en- gineer to see anything of the road until the train is right upon it Though thousands of persons cross the track daily the only thing to warn people is the bell on the *‘Look-out-for-the-loco- motive’ sign on a post, which some imes rings and sometimes dues not. It isus- serted positively that the bell did not ring to-day. A big furniture van and several bicy- clists had crossed the track just ahead and waved frantic warnings to the tally-ho as it bore swiftly cown upon the track with its laughing and chattering party. The engine struck the cosch almost ex- actly in the center. It was torn loose from the horses, and they went galloping up the road, knocking the terror-stricken | bicyclists who stood in the way right and left. The body of the coach was shoved ahead of the engine and the people on top hurled on both sides. There wasa crunching under the wheels, then the coach feli apart forty feet from the crossing and the train roiled on an eighth of a mile further, leaving bebind mangled bodies on either side of the track. Some of the eys-witnesses were so affected that they jumped on their wheels and rode away, not knowing what they were doing, and it was several minutes be- | fore any one attempted to assist. Then & hotel-keeper and a physician reached the scene, and the others, taking courage, returned, while the crowded wain was backed to the crossing. The dead and wounded were brought to the Brooklyn hospital. The dead are: Dora Bertsch, 20 years; | Willism Gilcurist, 21 years; Winslow Letwis, 24 years; George Pasnley, 20 years; Leslie Roberts, 2¢ years. e RUSSIA AND THE JEWS. The Case of Bank:r Kutner of Fresno Resurrscts Interesting Diplomat.c Correspondence. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31.— Gre- goire de Wollant, Russian Charge d’Af- faires, sends a communication to the Post in reference to the matter of Banker Kut- ner of Fresno. He says: “In the New York Herald this affair 1s represented as an exclision of all Jews tinction against certain American cit- izens. The best answer I could give to this article is contained in a letter of Prince Lobanoff to Mr. Breckinridge of June 26, 1895, as follows: Idesire first and foremosf to make this dis- tinction: That the refusal (0 vise which has been given it certain cases by our consular eutiorities isin no wise founded on objectious properly religious; indeed, 1f it was at all the fect of belonging to the Jewish reiigion which was an obstacie for certain foreigners to be admisted into Russia, the law would extend this interdiction to all the members of that reiigion, Now, ou the contrary, it recognizes formally the right of whole category of Israelites to enter, and the selection which it has made of the very categories proves that it has been guided in this question solely by considera- tions of an international adminisirative char- acter, which has nothiug in common with a religious point of view. Tt 1s not necessary (o say to you, Mr. Minis- ter, that the broadest spirit of toleration for ali cults forms the very basis of Russian laws. The Jewish religion is no more prohibited in Russia than in the United Sintes. It is even legelly recogunized here and enjoys here certain privileges, but when, for motives of internal order, Russian law raises obstacles to the entrance of certain calcgories of for- eigners upon our territory, the Russian Cou- suls, whocen neither be ignorant ot nor over- 100K the Iaw, arein the necessity of refusing the vise to persons whom they kunow belong in these cate-orles. I wili add, even, that in forewarning on the spot the persons who address themselves to them to obtain vises they save them diffi- cuities and dangers which they would en- counter later if they had not been advised. It is a guestion moreover of & general legisla- tive measure wbich applies to ce: n cate- gories of Israelites of all countries whatsoever. As to the Americap coustituiion, I must contess that it seems 10 me 10 be here baside the question. The artiele of the constitution which you are good enough to mentiog, and which prescribes that no religion is prohibited in the United States, is by the very nature of things placed ouiside of all prejudice by the consular authority. He has neither 10 rohibit nor authorize the exercise in Amer- ca of any cult, ana the fact o1 his vise being accorded or refused is not at all an attack upon any established religion. 1t is the con- sequence of & foreign law of an administrative charrcter which only has its effsct outside of the territory of the Union. “In the article quoted from your es- teemed paper it is stated that I said: ‘We have no use for you or your class of people in our couutry.’ Permit me to say that I vprotest with the utmost enerzy against ihis last sentence. It is a rudeness. which 1 would never allow mvself with anybody, and especiaily with persons coming to my house. I have always thought it the duty of an official or a magistrate to act ir conformity with the laws of his country, and also to ab- stain from the use of any personal re- marks.” e ABANDONED AT SEA. Norwegian Park det on Fire for the Froteetion of ey Vesneln, NEW YORK, N. Y., May 3L—A dis- patch to the Herald irom Buenos Ayri says: The Italian steamer Duchessa a di Genova found abandoned on the high seas the Norwegian bark Formica, which started from Mobile ior Port Nata: with a cargo of lumber. The bark was set on fire, as it could not be towed, and was in a position dangerou« 0 other ships. Toere was nothing to indicate what had become of the crew.

The State Cannot Form a Monopoly on Liquor for Its Own Profit. Judge Simonton’s Decision States That the System Violates Inter- state Commesrce Acts. COLUMBUS, 8. C., May 3L—Judge Simonton to-day filed a decision in the Vandercock dispensary case. He pro- nounces unconstitutional thoss parts of the act of 1897 restricting the importation of liguer in original packages for personal use or sale of such original packages | within this State for use in the State. This is regarded as the dispensary’s death- blow. It meansthe reopening of the mar- ket for California wines. A shipment of wines from Vandercock in Cahfornia to a party of Charleston gen- tlemen was seized last winter. The Cali- fornia- dealer contended that he had a right to bring liquors into the tablish warehouses and sell fron establishments original packages for per- sonal use. O1 tnat contention he ar- vealed to the Circuit Court. The State be- | came nervous. It was the first time this question had been sprung and the issue was decided. It offered to return the con- fiscated wines, but Vandercock would not compromise. Arguments were made three weeks ago, J. P. Kennedy Bryan of Cuarleston representing Vandercock, and Attorney-General Barber the dispensary. In the decision the Judze is very cear. He deciares the right of the State to pre- vent the manufacture or sale of liquor within its porders and the exercise of po- lice powers, but maintains that when the State recognizes and approves such manu- | facture and sale of liquor as a beverige by | | engaging in it for profit it precludes the | idea that such sale is considere | injurious to public welfare, and is not the lawiul ex- ercise of police power to forbid the impor- | tation of such Lquors or their sale in | original packages for personal use and consumption, such prohibition under tkese circumstances being in contlict with | ‘he laws of interstate and foreign com- merce. The decision of the United States Supreme Court, he says, 1s clear that as long as a State recognizes liquor as a bev- erage it is lawiul and to be encouraged; | us long as it seeks a monopoly in supply- ing such liquor 1t cannot constitutionally | | forbid or hinder commerce. in such liquor between its citizens and those of other | S:ates. The Governor raid two weeks ago that | if Simonton decided this case against the | | dispensary he would shut it down. An extra session of the Legisiature may be called; otherwise the dispensary must be closed. The State bas in various dispen- saries between $250 000 and $500,000 worth of liguors, TO UBGE THE TARIFF BILL. Congress to Be Deluged With Appeals to Lose No Tims in Passing the D.ngley Measure. NEW YORK, Y., May 31. — The American Protective Tariff League of the | Interior, of whioh Secreiary oi the Inte- rior Bliss is president, determined tc-day | 10 urge the swift passage of the Republi- | can tariff bill. Bliss bas been in New | | York toe last two days. It was decided: to | bezin a postal-card campaign, which is intended (o call the attention of Senators | 10 the necessity of speedy action. Secretary Wakeman sent a request to the Republican newspapers of all States requesting them to publish this National | appeal: Itisestimated that the Government is losing | #3,000,000 a week in revenue by the delay in | the passage of the tariff bill. The people are | losing ten times as much in work on account | of the delay. We earnestly ask every one of | our readers to immediately write & postal to | at least one member of the Senate demanding | the immedinte passage of the protective tarif | luw, The Republican Senators in Washing- ton have received tons of letters since the inauguration on all sorts of subjects, pr n- cirally demands for Federal places, and they have been overrun by constituents, all demanding places in the Government service. It is now believed they will next get a ton each a day of postal-cards, all suggesting speedy action on the tanff. Senator Piatt returned to Washington to-day. He reiterated the opinion tuat ths tariff bill will be out of the way by July 1, but he and other Republican Sen- ators have been informed, it was said, that Gorman and tne Democratic Senators aie determined to obstruct the course of the bill in order to postpone, if possible, final passage until September. e OPENS COMPETITION'S GATEWAY. Business of the Oregon Short Line to Ee Secured by Other Roads Than the Union Pac fic. OMAHA, NEBR, May 3L.—The opening of the Eastern terminus of the Oregon Short Line to the competition of railroads other than the Union Pacific takes place to-morrow, the rumors having received confirmation, apparen:ly. This move in traffic aliiauces is of the utmost concern to the parent road, the Union Pacific. Officials of the Union Pacific, though plainly not relishing the news, generally admit it is correct. General Manager Dickinson said, *I cannot predict the eftect.” The opening of the Ogden gateway means that other railroads will compete for the business of the Short Line. The volume of business does not increase with | the number of roads, so the natural effect is & smaller amount of business for each road. General Passenger Agent Francis of the Barlington said: *IU’s good news for the Burlington. It will let us into the terri- tory along the Short Line, from which we have been excluded 1n the past.” LhmL e NEW YOKK'S FKUIT MAKKET. Cool Te fher and an Abnormal Supply Depress Pric- NEW YORK, Y., May 3L—Last week’s cool weather caused considerable daollness in the wholesale fruit market. Prices for oranges declined, except for large, choice fruit. This is largely attrib- ut-d to the glut of strawberries and plenti- fu! supply of cherries, bananas and other seasonable fruits. California navels, which dare scarce and mostly of an iuferior quai- | of office, | oHIO’S SOCIALT ity, sold at from $4 to $2 a box, while prices for seedlings ranged irom $2 50 to $3 50 a_box; Valencias, from $4 25 to $5 a case; Sicily oranges, $3 75 to $3 25 & box. There are now on the way to this vort from the Mediterranean only 27,700 boxes of oranges and 6200 to Baltimore, and it is estimated that there are only about 200 carloads more of all kinds to come from California. Lemons were in small demand, but prices remained unchanged. The quantity of lemons now on the way to this port from the Mediterranean is 207,000 boxes, and to Baliimore 8300 boxes. Prominent importers say that the receipt of lemons ‘or the next thirty days will be apout 100,000 boxes less than during the corre- sponding part of last year, and that as soon as the hot wave arrives prices will quickly advance. Limes have been almost wholly neglected on account of tiie cool weather, Four carioads of California cherries were jeceived and sold at widely ranging prices, according to their kind aud condi- tion. ning of the week from 80 cents to $310 a box and at the end of the week at 60 cents to §1 65 a box. Ihe receipis of pineapples were large and the prices low. Fiorida watermelons sold slowly at from $25 10 $35 per 100. They are expeced to arrive in large quantities this week.
