Old timers in this country predict trouble with the Indians before they are finally removed to their reservations. Overmeyer to-day alry, at Grand Junction to be in readiness for an immediate call in case Game Com- missioner Johnson's force should not be able to expel the Indian hunters from tffe White River country. This troop is known as Overmeyer's Rough Riders, and is made up of pioneers, cowboys and crack shots of the Western | slope. There are sixty men in the troop and General Overmeyer shipped forty sad- | dles, bridles and ammunition for a two weeks' campaign through the mountains. This troop of cavalry s much closer to the scene of the Indian depredations than | the Denver troops and could be on the ground within twent \39{?( of notice to start. Fear is expressed at the capital that Commissioner Jochnson will make the at- tack on the Indians against overwhelming o0dds. Governor Thomas received a communi- cation from Secretary of the Interior able character which was manifest toward | Bryan in the campaign. | Hitcheock at Washingion stating that the Government has sent its Indian agent to scour Northwestern Colorado for ma- rauding Indians, but had failed to find one. There was a hint in the communic: tion that this would end the correspond- | ence so far as the Government was con- | cerned. ‘Instead of pacifying the Gover- nor, it has a tendency to make him more vigorous in his application of the State laws. He clalms to have a dozen reports from as many different men on file pro ing conclusively that the Indians have slaughtered over 500 deer in Routt and Rio Bianco counties. From telegrams recelved it has devel- oped that it is not the Ulntahs and Un- compaghre Utes that are making the trouble this year, but the White Rivers, who once occupied the territory which they have invaded. In the past the In- dian agents have kept the White Rivers on the reservation because of the bitter feeling of the tribe toward thé whites, who, they claim, took possession of lan belonging to them without right or treat It is reported that even a larger num- ber of Indians than the 500 previously re- ported have left the reservation and aro slaughtering hundreds of deer in the vi- cinity of the Yuma and White rivers. The fact that so many of the redskins have left the reservation gives rise to the | beltef t they have planned to obtaln | revenge for the Meeker massacre and the killing of squaws and bucks three years | ago. that trouble Is brewing there will be a rush for Rifle and Meeker. Commissioner Johnson will station plck- ets at the State line to prevent the pas- | =age of the Indian pack trains with their | tons of plunder from the State. He is de- termined to arrest some of the Indians with game In their possession if possible, in order to bave the laws regarding Indian { raids tested. | DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOMES IN SOUTH AFRICA Five Refugees Arrive at New York on the Steamer Statendam From Rotterdam.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Eugene Zim- mermann, whose daughter was married to the Duke of Manchester a week or so ago in England, was interviewed here to- day. He sald to a reporter: “T have come here to meet my daughter and her husband. After they have rested here a few days we will go to Cincinnati and a reception will be given at my home. The Duke 1s a bright voung chap, Ite s a fine, manly fellow. 1 like a man who went to work as he did as a newspaper man when he was here. Some of his ar- ticles were first rate, t0o.

But there won't be any trouble about debts.” “Ts it likely -hat the Duke may settie down in_America and enter the raflroad business?" “No, no; the Duke is going into British olities. He is entitled to a seat in the ouse of Lords, and he is going to turn his attention to polities. Mudge Elected President. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 2%.—H. U.

Commissioner General Powderli'. in his letter to the Commissioner of Immigra- tion at Philadelphia directing that the lacemekers be mitted, sald: “It_appears that it is the purpose of Dr. John A. Dowle, who had arranged with the appellants, to manufacture not only lace, but also the thread from which such lace is to be made. Al- though lacemaking in some of {ts branches has been carrfed on in this country for some years heretofore, it seems to have been the practice to im- port the thread used in such establish- ments. The dejmrtment is of the opin- ion that said industry is a new one, not established, and as it is not claimed or shown by the representatives of the lace- makers' union that labor could have been bbtained in this country to prosecute the industry, there is apparently no violation of the allen contract labor laws.” It is held that the immigrants come within the law’s exception. It is also held that they are not likely to become public charges. A R REFUSES TO RENEW ITS FREIGHT CONTRACT Panama Railroad Has Not as Yet Made Terms With the Pacific Mail. NEW YORK, Nov. 26,—It was reportel to-day that the Panama Railroad Com- pany and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company had not yet come to terms on a new agreement. These companies have been operating under a five-year contracc, which expires on December 16. Under this agreement the Pacific Malil line has an exclusive right to the frelght business from Panama to northern points on the Pacific Coast. The Pacific Mail Com- pany, according to ort, has insisted.on a renewal of this exclusive provision, but the Parama road Is reported to have with- held its assent. Both sides have admitted that the contract about to expire has been of mutual benefit, but it appears to be the opinion of the Panama Company that outside companies ought to be al- lowed to compete. . ‘Will Succeed Hichborn. ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—The President has decided to appoint F.

Hichborn, the l:cumhml;, to the | cents a bushel for the week, and of al- most fifteen cents within four weeks. Young Mr. Phillips sold what corn changed hands at that point; shorts did the buying that advanced the market to the fifty-cent quotation. The five-cent ad- vance over the close of last week made { the day a notable one for the campalgn. A roar and a cheer gave notice of the half dollar achievement and there wx\sdxtdfluck- ward the already overcrowded corn I8 fowm all over the floor. The tip-top Kgure was made in the first hour. Novem- ber starting at forty-six cents, selling be- tween forty-six and fifty cents, and clos- ing at forty-nine cents. The siight final recession was, like the others which have been experienced, brought out by sell- ing by the bull leader. Fhe man with the corner in the hollow of his hand is apparently not ready to let it get away from him. He has watched the careers of other men with corners and believes that most of them lost because of their greed to extort the last penny. All morning the little corn King stood on the edge of the pit and watched the ebb and flow of the battle. Whenever the clamorous “shorts” howled up the price in the face of unresponsive takers he pushed to the front of the iine and let out more corn. Some of the dealers thought the juvenile looking speculator was in straits and was running to wind up his string They jumped on the market and | praise. Few men have been able to keep | a cool head under like circumstances. He parted with 300,000 bushels, about one- tenth of his holdings. He bought 10,000 when the bears tried to drag him oft his | pedestal. He made $20,000. Apparently he is going to keep the settling price around | |50 cents. If the “shorts” are meditating | a coup on the last day they may wake up gm find_that Phillips bas closed out his| line. He claims now that he cannot be squeezed, whatever may happen. As long| as he keeps on selling more than he buys | and holds the market down to 3 cents he | Is seemingly too nimble to be crowded off | the market with his corner. Other specu- | lators have been broken by buying at a | big price In order to hold up the market | and paying out their funds on margins. George A. Seaverns is said to be giving aid to Philips. Some think the elevator | man Is backing his former employe In the trade. At any rate, the drying and cleaning house of Seaverns, which in the past has been able to turn out contract corn with great rapidity in times of stress, has not added a bushel to the supply since the Phillips corner has developed. Mr. Seaverns’ inactivity is not credited to pure benevolence in the success of his former employe. To-day’s price of corn is the highest since June, 18, when a predicted famine ran up ae price for cash corn. December corn felt the Influence of the short grad- ing in November and went up % cent over Saturday. WOULD RYPHOT JUDGE WD JURY Kansan's Plea to Secure Acquittal of Jessie Morrison. e AL FEL DORADO, Kans,, Nov. 25.—The town to-day was overcrowded with people drawn by the irial of Jessie Morrison, ae- cused of murdering Mrs. Castle, and when court opened this aftérnoon the room was filled to its capacity. The possibility that the taking of evidence would begin to-day served to whet the appetite of the public. The prisoner had spent a quiet Sunday in her cell. where she received members of her family and a few friends. To news- paper men who sought an interview she refused to talk of the case, in which she evinces far less interest than outsiders. Castle, the widower of the murdered woman, on the other hand, seems to have broken down. Former Probate Judfe Morrison has re- ceived several letters from people offering their services in behalf of his daughter, A Kansas hypnotist offers to exert his powers over the presiding Judge and jury for a stipulated sum. Another writer says he is willing to get on he jury and “block it in favor of the defendant.” Judge Mor- rison has ignored the letters.
