Laku Mononk, Oetolier 11. The Executive Committee, in reporting a platform of Mononk for 1890, reviews tho work done towards tho civilization of tho Indian and urges Congress to make such liberal and increasing appro priations as may be necessary to perfect this plan and to carry it into full opera tion. Tho platform calls for a further extension of education in all industrial parts, as essential to tho preparations for self support; protests against tho remo val of capable ollicials for party reasons ; recommends improvement in the pro visions for regular and legal administra tion of justice, both toward and among tho Indians; urges churches to larger gifts and greater zeal in their distinctive Chris tian work among tho Indians; reaffirms, as a fundamental principle which should control all the friends of all Indians, that all work for them, whether by private benevolence or by the Gov ernment, should be done in anticipation and in preparation for a time when the Indian races of this country wilf be ab sorbed into tho body of our citizens and the specific Indian problem will bo merged in the great problem of building up the human brotherhood, which the providence of God has laid upon the American people. Tho Conference unanimously adopted a resolution urging that money received from the sale of surplus reservation land be held as a fund to aid Indians in learning how to support themselves.

Wamiinoton, October 11. Justice Miller has been suffering nearly all summer from an attack of dysentery, but at no time was tho illness severe enough to prevent him from attending to his judicial duties while he was on his annual tour of his circuit in the West. He returned to Washington Inst week feeling much better, though some what weak. This morning ho was feel ing unusually good. Tho" Justice, in telling Mrs. Miller of his fall, said that felt his knees giving away under him and his legs felt so heavy he could hardly lift them. Think ing it was tho sudden return of a rheu matic twinge, which he often before felt, ho made another effort to step forward, and as he did so, either tripped on the car track or slipped, and fell forward on his left side and arm, at the same time cutting his forehead slightly and causing an abrasion of the skin on his nose. John Woodford, the Justice's servant, was standing in tho door at the time and saw him fall. lie immediately ran to his assistance and tried to help a friend raise the Judge to his feet, and placing him in a cab, conveyed him to his home. An improvised stretcher was brought out, and, though the Judge protested against being placed on it, as he said he felt perfectly able with assistance to walk, ho at last consented and was taken gently up the terrace leading to the house and into his oflico on the first floor. Meantime Mrs. Miller, who was out visiting, arrived, and, finding the Judge down stairs, immediately had him removed to his room on the second floor, though the change was unwillingly made on his part, as he insisted he was only slightly weak and would prefer having dinner down stairs. When the Justice's bedroom was reached, lie re marked: "Just place the stretcher alongside of the bed." Much to their surprise Dr. Cook, who lives two doors away, and Dr. Lincoln were sent for. They administered some slight restoratives and after examina tion found a partial paralysis of the left side from the arm down. The numb ness in the arm has now partially dis appeared. Up to 1 o'clock this morning the most serious trouble to be combattcd by the physicians was an accumulation of phlegm in the patient's throat, which, on account of a partial paralysis of the organs, could not bo removed. This would produce a choking, which would be relieved only by raising the patient to a sitting position. This effort in everv instance produced a paroxysm, which was itself highly detrimental to his con dition. At about 1 o'clock tho paroxysms ceased and, though tho sufferer was breathing heavily, ho fell into an ap parently peaceful sleep, which lasted throughout the night but. as morning camo on, the sleep degenerated into u comatosocondition,which constantly in creased. He now lies in a stato of profound coma, which no doubt will continue to tho end. All members of the Supremo Court in the city called once or oftencr with their wives during the day. Chief Jus tice Fuller and Mrs. Fuller spent an hour with the family last night and again today. Mrs. Dimniock called on behalf of Mrs. Harrison to inquire as to the condition of the Justice. The mem bers ol all the foreign legations now in town called during Mio morning, as did many others in Washington. From 1 o'clock this, Saturday, morning it was evident that there was little on which to base any hope for his recovery. The nerves and muscles of the throat were much affected, and all attempts to give the patient nourishment failed. Still, there were slight evidences of semi-consciousness, the Justice now and then opening his eyes and looking at the attendants with a gleam of recognition. At daybreak theso signs ceased, how ever, and he becaino totally oblivious of surroundings. Justice Miller is a man of massive frame, full blooded and stout. He had, during tho last seven years, often sjioken to his family of his fears of a stroke of paralysis. It is said that his brothers, one or two of whom died from paralysis, strikingly resembled him in build, and his knowledge gained in early life by reading medicine, made him apprehen sive that ho might some day go as they hud gone. About three weeks ago while at St. Louis ho sulfered from an attack of diarrheal, but this was effectually checked on his return home. Day by day his strength increased and yester day ho dictated a letter to Mrs. Stock ing, one of his daughters, now in Vienna, in which he spoke, of his good health. The dictation was mado to his private secretary and yesterday afternoon, when the justice was carried into his office, tho letter was lying on the tablo awaiting his signature. It probably will never lie signed, but must remain an affecting memento and an additional testimonial as to the uncertainty of human ex istence. Mrs. Miller's condition has been distressing nil day. Yesterday she bore up well, but a reaction has set in and her nerves are in a pitiable state. She is completely prostrated. Her health is good, though, so there is no cause for alarm, Mrs. Reeves, a relative of Mrs. Miller, arrived this morning and is giving her whole attention to the task of calming the almost distracted lady. Tho only members of tho Justice's family here aro his wife and son, the latter, Irvin Miller, being a well-known Chicago lawyer. Mrs. Touzalin, a daughter who is living near Colorado Springs, and Miss Lucy Corkhill, tho Justice's granddaughter, have been noti fied by telegraph. A great many inquiries have been re ceived from all partB of the country. Chief Justice Fuller has received tele gram from cx-1'rcsident Cleveland ex prcssivo of his griet at the news of Justice Miller's illness and the incident recalled the fact that between the ex President and tho Justice thero has been for somo years a feeling of mutual admiration and warm personal friend ship. One of Justice Miller's associates on the bench, tonight, in speaking of his colleague's illness, said that the labor ious work of the Circuit Court was too hard for him and he had determined never again to undertake it. Ho was tired out on his return and felt he never again could do tho work and do himself justice. At midnight Justice Miller was still alive, although the end is momentarily expected. Dr. Lincoln left the justice's bedsido nt 11 :30 and to thoso in waiting said, that the end must soon come, though it is possible he might live until the early morning hours. A telegram was received this after noon from President Harrison, express ing to Mrs. Miller his grief at her husband's illness and stating that if there was any hope of reaching tho dying man's bedsido before tlio end came, he would at once start for Wash ington. An answer was returned to the effect that ho would bo too late. Mrs. Harrison called this evening and spent a few moments with Mrs. Miller. She seemed very anxious, knowing of their mutual friendship, that the I'resident should nt once come to the bedside of his stricken friend, and left the house with the intention of telegraphing tho President to start at once.

OUR CABLE LETTER Political Pickings Gleaned in Berlin. The American Tariil'oi' Para mount Interest. Much Speculation as to What Course Will Re Adopted by the European Nations. Copyright 1690 by New York Associated I'ress.J BmtLiN, October 11. Tlio speech of Signor Crispi, Italian Prime .Minister, nt Florence, is an indirect admission of the Figaro interview, which irritated Aus tria by showing too open an anxiety, for financial reasons, to conciliate France. King Humbert is said to have conveyed a hint to tho Prime Minister that he had gone a little too far. Tho Florence speech was aimed especially to conciliate Austria, and to assure her that it was to Italy's interest to remain in the triple alliance. The tone of the Russian press shows that the speech will assist an understanding with France. The Xovoe Vremya says it makes it incumbent upon France to come to a definite understand ing with Russia, in order to neutralize the danger of possible aggression on the part of the allied powers. Prior to departure on a hunting ex cursion to Huburtustock today, Em peror William received Count De Launay, Italian Ambassador to Berlin, who presented to His Majesty a portrait of King Humbert. Ho also received Charles Gibson, the American professor of law, whom tlio Emperor invited to take luncheon with him. As a result of the new United States tariiriaw, manufacturers of clothing are holding back their stocks. A large number of operatives will be discharged from the woolen goods factories in Gruenberg district, in Silisia, and the weavers at Nowawes, near Potsdam, are expecting a lock-out. Press comments on the new tariff still continue and the ques tion of a European tariff campaign anaiust America or German-Austrian customs union is still eagerly discussed. A rumor that the Government has opened negotiations with Austria has caused commotion among manufactur ers in Austria and agriculturists in Hungary, but since Austria's rejection of Bismarck's olfer of a modified tariff treaty in 1870, Iwtli nations have adopted a strong protective policy. So many interests are engaged on !oth sides that no sober-minded man believes such policy can lie realized at the pres ent time. Tho North (lerinan Uazctte's warning aeainst cherishing such nn illusion on the subject is well justified. German exports to Austria amount to 300,000,000 florins, of which 100,000,000 florins are in textile fabrics. Austrian exports to Germany amount to 400,000,000 florins and consist mainly of raw products and agricultural products. Any increase in the latter would ruin German agricul ture, while an increase in the for mer would imperil the highly protected industries of Austria. The Reichstag and tho German Gov ernment are not likely to risk the entire loss of the American market on tho strength of recipiocitv by cooperation with Austria, who loses practically nothing. The Vienna Chamber of Trade and Commerce has opt-ncd an inquiry into the mother-of-pearl trade, the turners in which arc willing to emigrate to America, but lack the necessary capital to ensure their admission into the United States. Russian agriculturists arc counting upon European reprisals for the new tariff to find a larger opening in Euro pean markets for their corn and cattle. The accouchinent of the Empress is expected in February, and many pro jected court festivities will Imj advanced. It is officially denied that General Von Waldcrsee," Chief of Staff, is about to retire. FUANCK ritOTIJSTS. Much ARllntcd (her Iho 0iorallon of tho Now Tnrlir I.iiwh. Pauis, October 11. Agitation over the new United States tariff law was greater than ever during last week. The wild est ideas as to the scopo and effect of the law are prevalent. Lyons has violently remonstrated against the heavily increased duties on silk. Bordeaux was equally excited about wine and the whole of France was in a condition of extreme irritation and apprehension, which was reflected by tho newspapers. M. Ijckroy treats the idea of a Eu ropean Zollverein against America as Utopian. He holds that France, un assisted by other countries, can open the gates of the American Chinese wall by profiting by the word "Reciprocity," which figures "in the new law. Tho Alplno Trouhlrx. Behne, Switzerland, October 11. All public meetings have been forbidden in Bcllinzona by order of tho Federal com missioners.

The peopio made no resistance and no blood was shed. Work for l'oor Tenant. London, October 11. The government has ndvanced the Midland Great West ern Railway Company, of Ireland, 400, 000 to enable that compnny to build lines to connect tho coast with inland markets in distressed districts of Ire land. Tho Telegraph says the help afforded to tlio poor tenants by this opportunity to procure work will prove opportune, and will enable them to earn money to tide over tho worst winter months and purchase potato seed in the spring. Fisheries nlong the extent of the Irish littoral will bo developed by facili ties afforded by the railroad company to transport fish to inland towns. A gUliClt WEAPON.

Robert Prouty heard the cries of the men for help, rushed to tho room, struck a light and saw the Chinaman slashing at the men with a hatchet and a knife. He picked up a sugar bowl and threw it at the Chinaman, breaking his skull nnd knocking him senseless. Constable Latour arrested him and took him to Hornitos, where the Chinaman died last night. The inquest was held this morn ing. Both men are badly wounded, one of them dangerously cut in tho neck. T.otter Cnllforula Mlnlnjr Scheme. San Diluo, Cnl., October 11.

A Mother .IuiniK From a Window With Her Itnlin In Her Anns Lodge Hurni'd 111 Their Hooiiik, Chicago, October 12. Four lives were lost oy fire in the Putnam European Hotel, on La Salle and Adams streets, at at early hour this (Sunday) morning. A kerosene lamp in one of the upper hallways exploded and the fire quickly spread. The guests, of whom there were a score in the honse, were not awakened until the arrival of the en gines. The firemen quickly ran ladders up to the windows and most of the terror-stricken people were helped safely to the ground. Mrs. Minnie Robinson, with her hus band and infant, was asleep in a room on the fifth floor, became crazed with fright and, before her husband could do anything to stop her, grasped the babe in her arms and jumped from a window The unfortunate woman was crushed so badly on the pavement that she lived but a short time, but the babe miracu lously escaped unhurt. Within fifteen minutes the firemen had the flames extinguished and, although the presence of n vast amount of stifling smoke made it almost impossible to enter the house, started a search to see if any one was in it. They soon found the body of a colored porter, Edward Peyton, in his room, burned to a crisp. A few doors beyond they found the bodies of two roomers, Charles Easton and Louis Bergcr. At 2:30,no moie bodies were found and the Fire Marshal believes that the casualties are comprised in the above list. The pecuniary damages are small Most of the guests escaped in their night clothing and some of them lost their effects. THOUHI.K OVEll I.ANII I.endH to n Hrutal Killing Near HoUe, Idaho. BoisE, Idaho, October 11. Sheriff Bobbins last night arrested John Jen nings for the murder of Ross Hutchins, a rancher on Ten Mile Creek, in this countv, and lodged him in tiie couutv jail. ' Tho dead body of Hutchins was found about sixty yards from Jennings' tent, on the spot where he fell after receiving the charge from a barrel of Jennings' gun. Tlio trouble arose over a disputed claim to 100 acres of sage brush land which Hutc'iiins had entered under the preemption act, and Jennings filed a homestead over his head and jumped the claim. Evidence at the Coroner's inquest to day showed that Jennings sent his wife to call Hutchins to his tent and, after talking with him for some time, shot him in the breast, and when Hutchins turned and ran awny he shot him in the batik, fairly riddling the body, about 150 shot taking effect. Tlio murderer left tho body of his vic tim lying on the ground where it fell and returned to his tent, where be was found several hours later by officers, smoking a pipe. Tho Coroner's jury rendered a verdict charging Jennings with the crime. Jennings has a wife and seven small children. IIUHLED TO HEATH. Deadly and Ilentructlvo Explosion at a Nevada Mine.

A Frenzy of Delight in Tipperary. Believed That They Took Passaic on a French Steinier, Board- intr It Oat at Sea. Londos, October 11. Steamship com panies knew nothing of fugitives Dillon and O'Brien. Nothing was known at Quecnstow n or Liverpool of their where abouts. - A correspondent of O'Brien's paper, the Freeman's Journal, sailed from Queenstown yesterday on the City of Berlin, and it was thought that Dillon and O'Brien might have been aboard the same vessel. Detectives havo lwarded all outgoing steamers and have searched in vain for them. They are convinced that they are already on their way to America. It is possible that they sailed on a yacht and boarded a steamer outside of Queenstown.
