SAMN OLD STORY.
The Asseclated Press Claims to Have
Played a Very Sharp lame.
New Yoar, Nov. 12.-"The natives
tributary to the state of Newo Janhur, in
the province of Avissa, have revolted
against their ruler, Sibt'El Otepuebt," so
read a cablegram to the Associated
Press from Calcutta last week, with the
exception of the name of the Rajah.
The New York Press save today: 'The
Associated Proes is nothing if not truth
ful. There was method in the fiction
quoted about the name of the Rejah
and telegraphed to all the newspapers it
served. The management has grown
confident that the United Pres for a
long time has been appropriating the
dispatches put on tbe wire by the Asso
elated Press. Surely to prove the truth
of this supposition it was decided to
send forth a cable bit of alleged news
that could injure no interest in the
United States and be of little moment.
Not only did the unfortunate Rajah
figure in the Associated Press newspa
pere on Saturday morning, but, strange
to say, he appeared in all his shameless
mendacity in the United Press papers as
well, so readily had the bait been taken.
The United Press had appropriated its
special news and that treacherous rajah,
not content with his mission to point a
moral and adorn a tale, audaciously
placed together the letters of his mystic
name in such a way that, reading back
ward they recite a fact indisputable:
"The U. P. stole this."
A SILVER PARTY.
The White Metal Leaders Are aild to
Favor the Move.
DINVER, Nov. 12--The silver men of
Colorado and other mining states are
maturing plans, it is said, for launching
a silver party. They will co-operate
with the bimetallista of the south and
seat and a call will soon be issued for a
meeting to effect an organization.
"I do not care to have my name used,"
said a prominent mining man, "but I
have correspondence from Cameron
and Sibley of Pennsylvania, several Ohio
congressmen, Senators Jones and Stew
art of Nevada, and many others, all urg
ing us to form a silver party. We have
no hope from the successful party in
congress."
"Do you think Cameron would run as
an independent silver candidate against
the republican party?"
"I feel confident that he would head
our ticket with pleasure. He wants in
the plat:orm only silver and protection.
We all believe that party will be the
principal opponent in 1891 of the repub
licans unless the democrats during the
short sesuion should pass the free coin
age bill.

AND THEY HAD TO MARCH BACK
And Ask the Messen;ger to Open
ITp-Claimed to Be Dyna
miters.
Mow.-rr, Mo., Nov. 13.-The St. Louis
& San Francisco passenger train clue
here at 7:15 p. m. last night was held up
and the exprcess car robbed three miles
east of thise city. At Verona two masked
men boarded the tender of the engine
and concealed themselves until a heavy
grade and a deep cut was reached, when
they sprang from their hiding place and
covered the engineer and fireman with
Winchesters and commanded them to
stop the train. Climbing overthe tender
into the cab the two bandits marched
the engineer and fireman to the baggage
car and commanded them to open the
door. Meseloger Chapman refused to
comply, when the bandits-now six in
number-threatened to blow up the car
with dynamite. Engineer Stevenson
called to the messenger and implored
him to open the door, which was done.
The bandits entered the car, plundered
it, and, in full view of the terrified pae
sengers, clambered up the hill and made
their escape. Messenger Chapman suc
ceeded in hiding all money save 8200
which he handed over to the robbers.
They are supposed to be part of the
Cook gang.
WRANOLING THAT WAS HOT.
Pacing Up and Down and Talking About
tloodshed.
MorooMr.iry, Ala., Nov. 13.-In the
Kolb convention last night a heated
wrangle arose over the question of re
christening the party which, in a partial
report from a special committee, had
been dubbed the "People's" and "Jeffer
sonian" party. The result of the argu
ment was that the convention of Jeffer
sons and populists resolved themselves
Into the national people's party. Chair.
man W. H. Skaggs of the committee on
resolutions read a report which stated
that the committee had ample proof that
Kolb was elected last August and had
been counted out. Dr. Crow of Perry
county paced up and down the theater
aisles and declared that he should be
seated, even if bloodshed were necessary
and that on December 1 the populists
and republicans should meet at Mont
gomery, and if the state military inter
fered with them, there would be enough
people on hand to handle them. These
revolutionary sentiments were picked
up in short talks by a number of men,
until Skagge finally resumed the read
ing of the report, which went on to say
that the evidence was at hand to prove
the fraudulent election of Governor elect
Pates, and it the legislature did not
right the wrong, the federal cougress
would be called upon and a force bill
demanded if necessary. The convention
adjourned sine die after adopting the
report. There was not a suggestion of a
double.barrelled legislature.
TIli U. P. OFFEIRS A NEW SCALE.
WVolnd Inlrease the Force at Cheyenne
If Aecepted.
CI)EyneNc, Nov. 13.-Since July the
Union Pacific shops here have not been
operated to their full capacity. Now
that the officials are contemplating a
change in the management of the shops
at Denver, a proposition has been made
the emp!oyes at this point that if they
will agree to accept the same scale of
wages heretofore paid at Denver the
management will bind themselves to
largely increase the force and give ten
hours' work each day instead of eight as
at present.
The employee are considering the
proposition, but many of the expert ma
chinists oppose it. The change would
increase the monthly pay roll several
thousand dollars.
JAI'S HAVE POET ARTHUtR.

institutions. John A. Stewart, president
of too United States Trust company,
said today: "The circular, asking for
bide, issued by Secretary Carliele, pro.
tects the government. The government
will not have to pay a cent more than

opinion no subscription will be received,
the maker of which cannot pay for the
bonds in gold Iot previously withdrawn
fromn the treasury."

the dispatch from Denver stating that
J. C. Sibley and Senator Cameron had
urged the formation of a silver party,
Congressman SBibley, in a telegram to the
Associated Press, says:
-So far as the report relates to me, it
is incorrect. I have never written a let
ter advocating the formation of a silver
party. The decrease in the value of pro
ducts of labor, in field and shop, as
shown by the system of index num
bers, must soon reach the point where
tqe distress and ruin will be so universal
that some party must make the correc
tion of this criminal blunder the one
leading issue. That cause should be the
cause of every citizen, and the party that
will attempt to correct that evil is my
party, whatever it is called.

went through like a flash. The hole
made was hardly large enough for it to

though made by a bullet, though the

turn to private life, saying that the
drudgery and responsibility of his office
were wearing upon him. Ilis law prac
tice. it is said, is even now worth from
$30,000 to $10,000 a year and would be
largely increased if he were free from
official trammels. It is also asserted
that Mr. Olney, when he accepted the
office of attorney general, made it a con
dition that be might resign I.fore the
expiration of his terrm if he found the
duties distasteful. That time, it is said,
is near at hand. MIr. ()lny's relalions
with the president are of te. closest
character, and his intimate frienls be

not thus far at the president's solicita
