Women and children are being removed from

rflmot terror prevails all through the Leech
uke scctl-m. Xono of the correspondents has
been heard from since fi o'clock yesterday aftgr-
loon and only meagre report can bo ob
tained from Ilratnord and the surrounding
eiuntry. It ' foored that there Is serious
trouble ahead.
Wilikk. Minn.. Oct. 5. The trouble that ha
been brewing lietween the Indians and the
United States officials for the past week,
reached a culmination this morning In a fleroe
flht at Rogahraegoshig's Point, thirty mike,
from Walker. As a result of the engagement
four soldiers ' were killed, nine seriously
wotmded.nnd several civilians were hurt. The
engagement took plaoo about 11 o'clock in tho
. i.n.1 was one of the hottest lights
while it lasted ever seen on the shores otLeech
Lake.
Yesterday morning, in response to the re
quests of the Chlopewa Indiana. Marshal
O'Connor and Indian Agent Tinker went to
B,ar Island and had an all-day's conference
with the braves. At the counoll. whieh was at
tended by about fifty of the leading men of the
tribe, the officers were told that the Indians
a (or whose arrest warranto are out would noV
4 be surrendered while one of the band rem alnx!
' alive. The two men returned to Walker lte
at night and reported the situation to Col.
Bacon, who had just arrived with a detail of
lm eighty men from Fort Snelling.
At an early hour this morning, in themidst
ol a blinding anowstonn and in theVxce of a
pie that piled up the waves in the lnie. Oen.
Bacon embarked his little force on. a small
schooner and two barges aad started for Bear
Island, where the Indiana were kuown to be
encamped. The wave threatened to sink the
(rail craft, and the men and oflloors were be
numbed by cold and drenched to the akin by
spray. The little boat, however, readied the
oppolste shore, and a landing was effected
about 8 o'clock.
After landing a sortie was made through
the bush, but no trace of the Indians was
found until nearly 11 o'olook. T3ie men were
then withdrawn to the shore of the lake and
ordered to prepare dinner.
Just as the older had been given to make
coffee and while the line was still standing In
' column formation, the first shot was fired. It
name from Bogcahmegeshlgs Point and struck
naif-breed, Id Harris, breaking his arm.
Immediately firing became general from all
directions. At the first volley three of the
soldiers tell and were carried to the rear.
Then In the twinkling of an eye the whole line
vanished Into the woods and not a-sign of one
of the men ln'.blue was to be seen. Again the
Indians poured in another volley. This was
what the soldiers were waiting for, and as the
Indians came out from cover and made a rush)
toward the troops the rifles of the soldiers
roared and half a dozen braves fell to the
ground.
With terrlOs yells their comrades again
rushed forward and dragged away those who
had fallen. Lieut Morrison, at the head of
twenty men made a charge on the Indians
Who were carrying away the dead bravea and
succeeded in capturing two of the leaders.
JJeforeJthe soldiers could retreat within their
jine the Chlppewos made a desperate attack
and came near rescuing the captives.
, tor several momenta there was a fierce
hand-to-hand fight, but the superior discipline
of the regular told and they finally succeeded
in extricating themselves Without the loss of
u man.
Oen. Bieon, who, with Major Wilkinson,
had been ulreotlng the fight, then ordered a
charge. This was what the man had been
waiting for. and rising and dropping at short
Intervals they cleared the open space and
started on a run for the Indiana. The bunks
retreated a little ipace and then, making an
other stand, fired a volley at the Flora, which
had brought the men from Walker. A shower
ol bullets poured into the eohooner. tore
through her woodwork, hut Injured no one.
They then let fly a volley at a tug whloh had
bean ohartered by newspaper correspondents,
breaking the arm of the pilot and tearing the
sleeve of Inspector : Tinker into ribbons.
Marshal O'Connor, who was on board, escaped
only by a miracle, as the Indians fired the vol
ley directly at him.
The Indians then withdrew further Into the
timber, while Col. Bacon began throwing up
earthworks, behind which he will wait fir re
inforcement before proceeding further. All
afternoon the popping of the rillos could be
distinctly heard at Walker and the firing did
not cease until after 5 o'clock this afternoon.
The Flora has gone to Leech lake Agency for
Lieut. Humphrey and hi squad of twenty
men. who were stationed there to proteot the
sgeirr building, and will probably go on to
Walker, where are the Gatling and Hotohklaa
rarld-dre guns whloh Ool. Bacon brought
rth him. It I also likely that more of the
troops wli! be sent from Fort Hnelllng as soon
as ( ol. llaeon can be communicated with.
There Is danger that a general uprising may
to the result of thin fight. The settlers in
Cas county, especially those In the immediate
vielnltr of Leech Lake, are filled with terror.
fcome of them are deserting their home and
coming into the town out of danger.
There ars nearly 1,000 braves on the Cass
IfjU and White Earth reservations, and (hough
"ip)r nave thus far been outspoken in their
onriemuiitlon of the Chippewa, there U no
inow ng when they mtiv change their minds
and don pslnt and feather. If all the Chlp

Just what combinations arro contemplated or
have boon consummated regarding plants to
furnish and distribute ohvtrlel'.v in the city of
New York is a matter otser whijb there is much
speculation at present. Tha che Incorporation
of the New York Gas and Vleotrlc Light. Heat
and Power Oompatiy. capitalized at $25.(100,000.
at Albany on Monday was not merely an In
itiatory stop I generally taken for granted:
but a complete Ignorance of just what la back
of that organlratiosv Is professed In quarters
from which Information on such a subject Is
usually to bo nhtrdnnl. There I a general Im
pression, however, that many things are back
of It.
In the same, connection there Is mentioned
the consolidation of the Kings County Electric
Light and IVwer Company of Brooklyn and
the Kdleon. Electric Illuminating Company of
Brooklyn, including the Citterns' Lighting
Company nd the Municipal Lighting Company
of Brookyn, practlcoaly all the concerns en
gaged in the electric light business of the bor
ough. Anthony N, Brady, who represented the
KlngjkCounty Company in tho consolidation.
was spoken of yesterday one of the back
ers of tho new corporation. Ho Is Vice
President and director of the Southern Boule
vard Hallway, director of the Brooklyn. Queens
County and Suburban ltallwav. the Brooklyn
Ikapld Trnmrlt Compuny and of tho Rquitablo
Gas Light Company. Kx-Gov. Flowor Ir also
. mentioned as bncK of the corporation. He Is
one of the dtrootor of the People's Oas Light
and Coko Company of Chicago, of which Mr.
Brady is First VIcc-l'rcMi nt. but, so far a
quoted In the (flreetorv of directors, is not ns
hiK'inteil with him In atalUar work in this city.
Both tho Manhattan Klovnted Ituilroad
Company and the Metropolitan Street Rail
road Compu,' iv have also been rumored to be
behind the hew company. Representative of
each have denied it. nut there is a tendency to
disregard the dnnlnls of the Metropolitan. The
fact that this company Is now changing its mo
tive power to electricity, and I laving electric
conduit's along its line, la probably the rea
son t.r this, belief. It Is also a (act
that with its resource tho Metropoli
tan Company is In an excellent position
to vjndertake to supply electricity to other con
Btivftors than Itself at a very low cost. The
work of laying conduits, especially on Broad-Tv-ay.was
undertaken suddenly and without the
fsual preliminary advertising and discussion.
t is being hurried, apparently, much more
than similar work has been hurried on other
streets, and it is common talk that there must
be "something back of it."
It has been suggested that perhaps what
should be a high-priced franchise has been
given to tho Metropolitan Company along with
permission to tear up the street to install new
motive power,
James P. Keating. Commissioner of High
ways, said last evening that the company was
7 imply laying what conduits were necessary
or carrying the currents to operate the road.
He said that that was all It had permission to
do and he felt sure that was all it was doing.
He said he did not know whether or not there
was In his office an exact plan of the whole
erstem of conduits being laid.

A Bank Tanlt Despoiled by Somebody VTho
new the Combtnatlnne.
Wixkipeq. Manitoba. Oct. 5. The Winnipeg
branch of Molson's Bank of Canada has been
robbed of $62,000. The officials here decline
to make any statement, but the amount I veri
fied from Montreal. The money was in the
treasury or reserve department of the vault.
where cash not needed for Immediate use is
kept, and In addition to the combination lock
on the vault, the safe was secured by two com
binations on the compartments said to be
known only to four men.
Manager Phepoe left on a holiday on Tuesday
morning and when the accountant and teller
went in the afternoon to put some money in
the treasury they found the amount missing.
Of this snm $25,000 was in $5.1 H0 bill only
used between banks, but the rest was In email
bill of the bank. The vault and combinations
are In perfect order, and two clerks who sleep
on the premises heard no noise. The cash for
'ally use In the next compartment was not
touehed. It is reported that the last time the
treasury was checked over was on Sept. 28, and
the robbery may have occurred any time since.
Among the theories advanced is one that the
robbery was was committed by some one who
had learned the combinations. The manager
will be back to-night, ho arrests have as yet
been made. All the clerks are here and under
surveillance.

Twenty-two Letter and Telegram from
the ftenator to Caahlrr Hopkins of the
Defunct People's Bank Belattve to
Using the Hank's Money In Sprenlntlon.
FHiT.ariM.riit. Pn., Oct. o.-ttnlted States
Senator M. 8. Qimy was placed under $5,000
bail In the Central Police Court to-day, for trial
at the November term of the Criminal Court on
the charge of conspiracy to mnke unlawful use
of the funds of (he late People's Bank nnd of
State money deposited (herein. Richard B.
Quay, the Senator's son. and Charles H. McKeo
of Pittsburg were held in tho same ball for
trial on the same charge. The hearing wa
sensational by reason of tho presentation as
evidence of a series of letters found in n pri
vate drawer of tho cashier's desk at the
People's Bank, used bv John S. Hop
kins, the late cashier of the bank, who
shot and klllod himself on March 25.
Mr. Quay and hi son appeared nt
the hearing with two lawyers to defend him
and his associates. Lleut.-Oov. Lyon nnd Stole
Treasurer Boacora were also present, Tho
attorneys for tho defence were manifestly un
prepared for tho lino of testimony offorcd.
They fought against Its admission by every
device they could make use of, but to no
avail. The exchange of words between
District Attorney Ornham and ono of the de
fendants' counsel becamo so fierce at ono time
as almost to develop n physical encounter In the
courtroom. District Attorney Ornham enmo
oat of the fuss holding hi own.
In opening the case Tor tho prosecution Mr.
Orahnm directed ntlcntion first to the net of
Assembly providing punishment for the per
sonal use of public money by public officers and
to the act inflicting penalties on the cashiers of
State bankt- who engage directly or Indirectly
In the purchase or sale of stocks.
Thomas W. Harlow, receiver of the Peoplo's
Bank. aState Institution In this city .which sus
pended on March 20. was called as a wltnc.
After a hot legal skirmish between opposing
counsel over the question of not calling first
the Witness who made the affidavit on which
the proceeding was brought, and during which
District Attorney Oraham held his clenched
fist over the bar of the court In the face of one of
tho counsel on the other side. Mr. Barlow was
allowed to proceed with his testimony. Ho
produced a book and envelopo containing
private letter which wore taken from a
drawer In the cashier's desk on March
30. the day on which Mr. Barlow
was appointed receiver. Three (persons wore
present when they were opened. The en
velope contained private letters and telegrams
addressed to the cashier, and the book, to
all appearance, wa a private ledger In which
tho entries were made In the handwriting of
the Into Cashier Hopkins. The receiver
took charge of them nnd of nil other books
and papers found at the bank after n thorough
examination of all the desks. In the Presi
dent's desk no papers wore found relating to
tho receipt or disbursement of public moneys
by the bank. On account of Illness the Presi
dent had been absent from the bnnk for more
than a year before its suspension.
The cross-examination developed nothing
but the spleen of the opposing lawyers. Allpert
L. Taber. former paying teller of the hank.
was then put on the stand to identify the
handwriting in tho private ledger and the
signature to correspondence found in the
envelope. Three of the letter were In the
handwriting of B. 3. Haywood, at the time
State Treasurer; one was signed by George A.
Suhn. a local stock broker, largely patronized
r politicians, and twenty-two were signed by
. S. Quay.
The sensation developed at this point and It
was manifest that nothing of the conten(s of
these letter was known to the counsel for the
defence. The throng In the courtroom pressed
toward the bar to hear them read, but Meyer
Goldsmith, an expert accountant, who exam
ined the books of tho bank after its suspension.
wa first called to Identify entries of intercut
and calculations on State deposits found
In the private ledger. The lawyers for
the defence set up wrangle which descended
into personalities, their contention being that
the book should flrs( be offered in evidence.
This Mr. Oraham finally did. after holding out
a challenge to the opposing counsel to place (ho
defendants on the stand, which they had threat
eaedto do. but which they reconsidered.
Mr. Oraham then offered the book and the
letters In evidence, and after flrst handing the
letters to the opposing counsel, one after an
other. Jie read thorn aloud in court. The first
was dated Harrisburg. July 111. lKjid. addressnl
to James MeManes. President of the People's
Bank, and Inclosed In an envelope addressed to
Cashier John 8. Hopkins. Mr. Ornham said to
the court that the President of the bank had
seen the letter. It read:
DaaSiB:0n Monday we will mnil you n
cheek for $100,000 for tho credit of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania general fund,

A telegram relating to this letter was sent to
Hopkins, dated Mueeooo Ont.. thus:
"I wroto to your President last Fridoy night

" B. J. Haywood. State Treasurer.
Mr. Ooldsmlth. tho accountant, wa then
asked whether the bank's books showed that a
loan had been made by Richard R. Quay about
the time refBrred to In the letter. Ho
said the loan was made according to the
books, and wa carried up to thu time of the
Insolvency of the bank. Counsel for Senator
Quay asked If (lie loan had not been puld when
due. The accountant said It was a call loan,
and since the receivership It had been refunded
to the bank, by whom lie did not know. Mr.
Graham read this letter, dated Harrisburg,
Nov. .'Ml. addressed to Hopkins:

Mr. Grahnm then offered tho privn(o ledger
of the late Cashier Hopkins hi evidence show
ing, h'-nlleged. the source of the money used
for transactions in stocks. Mr. Graham said:
"Between September and January there
were stocks ordered to be bought aggregating
probably $400,000 or J500.000. and there were
transactions In the sale of stocks, but (here
were balances of considorab)p am. .nut

such transactions as tncsc. is ordered to buy
and sell, and does buy and soil stock up into
tho thousands of dollars.
" When Hubn bought n thousand shares of

Accountant Goldsmith then explnincl on the

This closed the evidence for the prosecution,
nnd the defendant were nil held for trial. Kx
S(a(e Treasurer Haywood is expected here on
Wednesday for n hearing, which he will prob
ably waive. The disclosures at the hearing
produced a sensation, notwithstanding the
general belief that tho State Treasury has
been manipulated by the Harrisburg ring for
thirty years through the agency of State banks.
Senator Quny gave mr a public statement t
the Walton Hotel to-night. In it ho Ruid:
"I think that no oue who was present
at the hearing to-day can liov.i any
doubt as to the truthfulness of the
chargo boldly made by my counsel that
the provcudtng was Instigated by political ene
mies of mine, who hide behind District Attor
ney Grahnm and will not pennlt him to reveal
their names, and that their piinoo was to
manufacture campaign llteraliire by falan
charges that could not !. met and
answered except pn a trial in oourt.
Of course everybody know that on uch a
hearing I could not be perm it ted to make
any defeneo or show the falsity of these
charges and my p'ounsel advise me that It
would be worse than useless to do so at
this time and In such proceedings. But
yon may lie sure that I hsvu instructed them
to force this eae to a speedy trial In a court
where both side can bo heard, and after that
to expose and legally punish to the utmost the
Instigator of this proceeding."

There nevor was n greater crowd gath

was no more room either in the building or in

time for the meeting to begin.

It was a crowd ready (o shout at the slightest
pretext. It shouted at everything, but it saved
Its greatest shouts for President McKlnley and
the national Administration and for Col.

Joseph H. Choate. Oeorge H. Uldwell. Stewart

These were the men who occupied the Iront
row of seats on the platform. Back of (hem
sat n row of Col. Iloosevelt'g rough riders and
back of them a crowd of enthusiastic Republi
can that included representatives of every
faction that there has beun in the Republican
party in New York city In (he lost score of
year, and the mixture In the audience was tho
same.
The boxes were filled with as reprcaentatlve
n crowd. This crowd began to gather before tl

Fifty-snventh. on Seventh avenue, was full
and it was still raining and there was

and still the crowd was in the street.

It look less timo than it doe to tell it to fill
that gallery once the doors were open just on
a crack, and then the police had the tough
est job they've had since tho Hi van

couldn't get In. Fortunately It stopped
raining about that time Fortunately

stood out on the steps of the Music Hall, and

Domoorncy. despite the cowardice of n great
narty thnt ha no word to speak In support of

A stated holoro. the cheering nt the mentloa
of Admiral Dewey' mimo had only ended
when cveryboily wns out of breath. When It
was resumed there were many cracked voloee
(hn( helped things along. They i.-ould only
shriek now, and they shrieked, "lah! yalit
yah!" winding up with a whoopee, while that
part of the crowd thnt had Its voice whole till
shouted. "That's right. It'll stay there."

"Ijipllesand gentlemen." said the General
In closing. "I huve now the great pleasure of
introducTiig Col. Thecslore Roosevelt. Republi
can iippmlnee lor the grenl office of Governor ot
Now York.' and then tho fun started all over
again. Craokod voice and wholo voices and
reugh riders and laymen, when Col. Roose
velt stepped to tho front, did their best to
convince him thnt he was a bigger mnn even
than Dewov. The Colonel looked serious when
he tlrst stepped forward, but at the end of
alpout half n minute's shouting hn couldn't help
smiling, nnd tho smile grew broader. Ho stole
one disapproving glance up nt the box where
Mrs. Roosevelt niidliltle Miss Roosevelt sat.
Little Miss llnosevelt eouldn't help being
jut as enthusiastic ns everybody else. The
Colonel waved his hand at her. The whole
audience wn on its feet agnin. The rough
rider, who appeared to havo yollod them
selves all out. now showed that they hadn't
even done their bent. They used their
bands and feet a woll as their voice.
When at last there was ii sign of tho enthusi
asm dying away thorn was a mighty shout of
"Who's all right?" nnd a mighty roar in re
sponse. "Teddy." That started a laugh, but
boforo it had much more than started there was
another shout, " Who I Toddy ?" and like the
roll of thunder came back the response. "First,
In war. tlrst fn -ppiesioo, first In tho hearts of hie
countrymen." Thnmpty thump thump
thump thumpty thump thump thump, this
last being made with tho foot and with vigor
that fairly shook (he building. ...
Col. Roosevelt started hlpoech with ' Mr.
Chairman and you. my fellow oltlron." em
phnlr.lng th "follow oltlf.cn," and there were
shouts of "Good: goodl Hint's good," and
cheers. Col. Roosevelt Bald:
" First mi I foremost this campaign is a cam
paign for gootl government, for good govern
ment bo(h In (he nation nnd In (ho State. If I
am oloctod Governor." and (hero he had totop
again. The crowd roared nt him : " You will
be, you will bo. You hot you will be." and
shouted nnd cheered. The ('..lonel start
ed over again and wns stopped, and startod a
third timo and was stopped and then he !
marked that ho hoped they'd nil vote the way
they shouted. They responded In n roar We
will." And after that tho Colonel wa per
mitted to go on wlln his speech, which was as
follows:
