TirR London Times, discussing bi
metallism recently, said that Franco
was not likely to accept any ratio but
I5J4 to 1, and that a ratio of 31; to 1
would not Teceive attention from the

us they proceed, within fourteen
months. 'Coleman is said to bo. the son
of a Detroit banker and Taylor is a
Washington boy.
Tiik state departmental Washington
lias been notified by Ambassador Eus

have addressed a .communication to
promincntand rich Catholics in France,'
Austria .and England, proposing to
raise a. fund to purchase .Home from
Italy and thus free the pope from his
imprisonment and make hiin ugain a
temporal ruler. Italy's almost bank
rupt condition is quoted as a reason

Tin: present oleomargarine laws are

They say that it is immaterial to them
whether people, who buy it, use it for

there is every reason to beliovo that
they will be, railroading will be revo
lutionized. Wo have figured that lo
ccmotlves can be built to run ISO miles
per hour, and wo will see them going
at that rate within a few years. This
may seem like a lllght of imagination,
but it is not We have tho motor and
the carrlago can bo furnished."
The London Times said recently in
discussing the possible consequences
of an international bimetallic agree
ment: "Not France, whoso mone
tary position is secure, but America,
would be the first to take advantage,
should we bo foolish enough to enter
into such an agreement. America is
the only great country which would
really gain by the agreement Hut the
mere hint that we would enter into an
International bimetallic agreement
would cause such a scramble for gold
that it is very doubtful if any would
be left in the Hank of England by th
time the agreement was signed."

Brandon, Miss., Aug. 10 A horriblo
shooting affray took place hero nt 9
o'clock this morning. In which T. Dab
n ey Marshall, a prominent lawyer and
member o the state legislature from
Vlcsburg, and two of his friends shot
and killed II. T. DInklns, agent of tho
Austin Iload machine company. While
standing on the platform of the depot
iJinxins was approacned ty .Mnrsnnu
nnd his two companions. H.H. Coleman
nnd . P. Fox of Vlcksburg. Marshall
walked up to DInklns and snld: "This
Is Mr. DInklns." and placing a pistol
nt DInklns' stomach fired tho weapon.
DInklns grabbed the pistol Just ns It
was ttred, and poslbly the first shot
did not take effect. As DInklns backed
away from Marshall, there was n fust
lade of shots from Marshall's compan
ions. It Is thought DInklns fired Mar
shall's pistol at the latter, as It was
found In his hand when dead.
The cause of the killing Is a sensa

klns. Two weeks ago DInklns and Mar
shall occupied the same room, but dif
ferent beds, at a room In Raymond,
nnd next morning DInklns told of what
was alleged to have transpired during
the night, stating that Marshall was
guilty of a crime Flmllar to the one for
which Oscar Wilde Is now serving n
term In an English prison. When the
story came to the ears of Marshall, he
denounced It ns a lie through the press.
DInklns, however, maintained that the
story wns true.
Marshall was the Democratic noml
nea for senator from Warren and Hind
counties. The killing Is strongly con
demned by the people. Marshall and
his friends have surrendered.

The attendance at the Indian Insti

full blood Indian from Seymour, Wis.,
Is taking n very active part In all tht

Professor Vletes opened the morn
ing pesslon ns presiding officer nnd Su
perintendent G. S. Plgg opened the dis
cussion by reading a paper entitled "A
Plan for Industrial Work," and was fol
lowed by Dr. Hetncman, who gave
a description of original kindergarten

Many Indians living In a country
where the soil and climatic conditions
were favorable to the propigatlon of
orchards. Professor J. II, Pcarcu
strongly endorsed an actual klndergart
en nnd stated that tnc preliminary
steps had been taken to establish ono
nt the Haskell Institute. Professor Se
gcr asserted that as a rule Indian chil
dren are apt scholars. I'nder proper
training they try to excel each other
and readily learn to understand farm
machinery. Profcsseor Brown of Paw
nee created uncontrollable merriment
by attacking Professor Plgg's Idea of
steam saws and engines for Indians.
He thought this government had done
n great deal for the Indian but doubts
whether It would present each Indian
boy with n steam engine toUnke under
his arm when leaving school, to be set
up In the future tepee home and attach
ed to tho steam wnshet which the In
dian gill In fairness should have, to do
the family washing. Professor Drown
belelxed In a bucksaw training for the
boys and a washboard education 'for
the girls In the Industrial line.

merly of Lamed, Knn., wne requested
by Professor Hellman, general super
intendent, to give her views on Indus
trial work for Indians In a short
nddress she gave some valuable sug
gestions to the audience.
A very lively dlscusdon arose over
the "Outing System," a subject very
ably handled by Dr. M. N. Dougan of
Shoshone, Nev. In his paper the doc
tor spoke of tho Indian ns he Is and
hot as he appears In novels nnd sug
gested ways and means to make him
what he ought to be.
A life long experience In Indian work
enabled Professor Vletls to state posi
tively that tho Indian will work and
he cited Instances where they were con
fronted with tho alternation of "root
hog, or die," nnd they didn't die either
he said but flourished and became good
citizens.
The afternoon was devoted to organ
ization In the teachers and superinten

building pried open nt the top. Llell
and a deputy named Barnes had been

The Jail cells and buildings are con
sidered of the best In the territory.
They are of steel, nnd cost the county
$2,500. This is the first escape from the
cells. Tho cells are secured by n com
bination lock, which guards a steel
safe. Inside the safe again ore two
heavy Ynle padlocks, opening with dlf
ferent keys. The largo happ which
fastens the doors Is also fastened with
a third lock, requiring another nnd
different key. It Is said that the depu
ties told the prisoners to get n:o th
cells, which they did. The deputies
are then supposed to have gone away
to lock the cells. Tht locks ond fast

tampered with.
Deputy Bell who was acting as Jailor

Washington, Aug. 10 There nre per
sons whose relations with the president
nre of the cloicst character who be
lieve that Mr. Cleveland's Ilrst cholqe
for Justice Jackson's successor on tho
supreme bench will be Mr. Olncy, the
secretary of state. It is known he plac
es Implicit confidence In tho poundness
of Mr. Olney's opinions on all Impor
tant lecal questions which come be-
fore him, nnd that he fully appreciates
tho great assistance Mr. Olney has ren
dercd him In the disposition of the
great questions that have arisen dur
ing the last two years. Whether Mr.
Olniy's residence In Massachusetts will
render him unavailable It is not known
but It Is the opinion of many well In
formed persons here thnt but for this
objeclon he would surely be the man.
Next to him Mr. llufus Peckham Is
thought by many to be the most
likely to receive the nomination.
DEMANDS ON CHINA.
No olllrlnl advices have reached the
state department concerning the report
cd destruction of the American mission
property at Inghok, China. It lu be
lieved nt the department that the place
referred to Is Identical with Su Ing,
where troubles were reported two days
ago and that this second dispatch re
lates to the same Incident.
Acting Secretary Adee received a tel
egram from Nashville signed Jointly
by the Southern Methodist nnd Pres
byterian Missionary society ofllclals
confirming the report of the outrage
ous character of the Ku Cheng massa
cre apd urging tho state department
to protect tho American missions In
China. Mr. Adeo has responded by tcl
grams that United States Minister Den
by had already taken the most vigorous
measures to secure the safety of Amer
icans nnd thnt renewed Instructions to
that end had already been mailed to
the minister. It Is not doubted that
Mr. Denby Is doing everything possi
ble in the disturbed district to care
for the missionaries but there are some
things beyond the power to accomplish
at this time. He has for many months
personally and through the American
consuls In China, urged the mlanlnnn.
rles to come down from the dangerous
Interior posts to the treaty ports, repre
scntlng to them thnt no matter how
Inclined he might be to do to, he could
not dispatch ships over land or up shnl
low streams to protect them.
ACrnlral Carpenter is also willing to
do everything proper toward coopera
ting with the minister, and If he be
lieves It to be prudent to send some
of his sailors and marines out and
through n hostile country he is fully
authorized by his instructions from the
navy department to do so.
Tho state department expect to re
ceive full nnd ample reparation for
the damage sustained bv th Amnri.
cans in China, and Ipdeed Minister l
xjvimy nns itircauy maue a most vig
orous demand on the Chinese govern
ment to that effect.
ALL LEB'T TO DENBY.
Consul Genernl Jernlgan has taken a
great deal of Interest In the recent
trouble and has sent several dispatch
es to the state departmene giving in
formation and making suggestions for
protection. Th.e state department has
not called upon the navy for any ship
or force to land and proceed into the
Interior. Minister Denby has aputhor
ity to call upon Admiral Carpenter for
United States forces nnd under his In
structions the admiral Is bound to fur
nlHh them.
Both state and navy departments be
lieve that the United States represent
atives on the ground, clothed with am
ple power, nre better able to act for
the best than those here In Washington
Accordingly Secretary JUcAdoo said
today that he could give Admiral
Carpenter no Instructions, especially
ns Minister Denby had not asked that
anything be done. As to the suggest
ion that the admiral should tend a
force In boats ho said that the minis
ter nnd ndmlral were better able t
know whether such a course was wise.
It might be a sacrifice of men lo send
them several hundred miles in the In
terior. The British government had
more cause for making a demonstra
tion than the United States and yet no
Kngllsh forces hnd been pent to the
scene of the trouble. Mr. McAdoo said
that an order from him to Admiral
Carpenter might wholly Interfere with
plans or operations, the commander
had in view or under way.
Shanghai, China, Aug. 10 The Ameri
cans here have sent a cable dispatch
to President Cleveland protesting
against United States Minister Denby's
action In consenting thnt the British
consul should represent America In
the Szrehun Inquiry. They recom
mend n reconstrutlon of the commission
by sending an American official of ade
quate rank and the exclusion of Impli
cated Chinese ofllclals. They also
recommend that a marine escort ac
company the commlpslon.
London, Eng-., Aug. 10. a dispatch
to the Times from Berlin says: It Is
stated here that the pope has written
to Emperor William requesting him to
take the Catholic missions In China
under his protection.
New York. Aug. 10 Rev. A. B. Leo
nard, corresponding secretary of the
Methodist Episcopal board of foreign
missions fears further violence to the
Americans in China. Speaking today
of the cablegram received by him yep
terady from the mUlsonarles at Foo
Chow appealing to him to arouse the
authorities to the necessity for action
he said:
"I have wired the secretary of state
nt Washington urging him of the ne
cessity to act promptly for the safety
of our citizens In China and asekd to
be advised of what steps would be
taken. I have as yet received no re
ply. "I understand that Mr. Olney Is at
Buzzurds Bay and that Mr. Uhl Is In
Europe. I do not know who Is In
charge of the department nor do I
know what is being done in this grave
situation.
"I do not like to criticize but I do
Know that our missionaries are praying
for the presence nmong them of the
government's defensive strength and
they are not the kind of people to ask
It If it is not badly needed. It Is also
certain that If our missionaries are p
danger so are all of the Americans and
foreigners In China."
