And Neither of Them Will Ever Act
in Such a Position Again.
ENTIRELY TOO MUCH ANXIETY
Tor the Little Fame That Is Won if a Man
Is Successful.
MICHIGAN IS EEADT TO BOOM ALGER
! SrECIAL TELEOHAM TO TIIK DISPATCn.
"Washington, April 13. Senator Cal
vin S. Brice will not manage the next Pres
idental campaign for the Democratic party.
His experience Tuurins the last contest iras
sufficient to satisfy him with political hon
ors of that kind. His opponent, Senator
Quay, has had enough of managing national
campaigns also, and nothing could induce
either of them to serve as National Com
mittee Chairman again.
Senator Brice is now Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee, but when
the committee reassembles, after the Chi
cago Convention, he will cheerfully give
war in favor of some other member of the
party. Mr. Brice was asked to-day why it
is that no one ever desires a re-election as
Chairman of a national committee. "Sim
ply because the mental and physical strain
is more than one man cares to undergo a
second time," he replied.
Too Much Anxiety for the Fun.
"So "one can imagine the feeling of anxiety,
responsibility, and the amount of personal
Inconvenience attaching to the position of
Chairman of a national committee. It has
to be endured to be fully appreciated. It
does not follow because a man declines to
serve a second term in that office that he
has lost interest in his party, or is opposed
to the prospective candidates ot tne party.
So far as I am concerned I have no further
ambition in that direction, and I feel that
there is no room for any one to complain or
charge me with listlessness in party mat
ters. There are certaen duties I one to my.
self and my family, and I propose to give
some other members of the party the op
portunity to learn by practical experience
what the" responsibility of a Chairman of a
campaign committee are."
Senator Quay, who managed the Harri
son campaign so successfully, although the
nominee was regarded as unusually weak,
shares the opinion expressed by Senator
Brice on the subject of directingPretidental
campaigns. In reply to a question similar
to that addressed to Mr. Brice, Senator
Quay to-day replied:
VThj Quay Has Had Enough or It.
"One campaign is enough to satisfy any
reasonable man. In addition to the heavy
mental and physical strain, the position is
surrounded by many disagreeable features.
It often happens that the Chairman of the
committee makes certain pledges in perfect
good faith prior to the election, but, after
the result has been determined, he finds it
utterly impossible to redeem them.
"Circumstances arise which prevent the
fulfillment of many promises made in the
heat of a close and excitinc camnaien.
which are afterward repudiated, not Ty
those who made them, but by those who
reaped the benefits of the assurances given.
There are so many reasons why I would not
undertake to manage another Presidental
campaign, and, if I remember correctly, no
man ever accepted a second term in that
thankless but arduous position."
Senator Gorman concurs in the views ex
pressed by Senators Brice and Quay. He
could not be induced to manage another na
tional campaign for any man, no matter how
much he may admire "him and desire his
success. His experience during the cam
paign of 1884, which resulted in the elec
tion of Mr. Cleveland, was of such a char
acter as to preclude any further service, so
far as he is concerned, in the capacity of
Chairman of a National Committee.
Gorman Wouldn't Serve Again.
Mr. Gorman said to-day: "Pride, am
bition, vanity and party interests all com
bine to induce a man to accept the position
in the first instance, but he soon realizes
that the prominence or success he attains is
dearly purchased. He is obliged to neglect
his private business interests, his family,
and undergo a strain that is apt to shatter
the constitution of the strongest man. There
are a few agreeable features connected with
the position if you happen to be on the win
ning side. The disappointments and the
unhappiness, however, overbalance all other
considerations. When your campaign
seems to be languishing and your friends
and supporters are growing despondent all
around you, it requires a wonderful amount
of firmness and persuasion to restore them
to fighting form. Promises sometimes bare
to be made which may appear extravagant,
yet they should be kept as faithfully as in
any other business. Every practical man
knows that a Presidental campaign cannot
be run on promises and theories.
Too Many Promises to Be Broken.
"In a political campaign it sometimes
happens that persons with large means are
willing to contribute liberally to the camp
aign fund, provided they are given
assurances that they, or some friend or
relative they may name, will be appointed
to some position of honor under the
administration. If success follows, it is not
possible for the managers of a campaign to
fulfill the expectations of every member of
the party, hence there are numerous dis
appointments when the distribution of
patronage 13 made.
"There are many other burdens connected
with the management of a Presidental cam
paign which fall upon the shoulders of
those who happen to oe directing the move
ments of the political forces. Only those
who have endured the hardships of a
national campaign can appreciate the feel
ing of relief that comes to the Chairman ot
the Committee when he relinquishes the
duties of the office'
Wbilethe candidates for the Presidental
nominations and their friends are busily en
gaged in cultivating" their respective booms,
the practical workers in the two great
parties are quietly looking the field over
for available men to place at the head of
the campaign committees.
Harrison All Right In Vermont.
Mokxpelieb, Vt., April ia The Re
publican State Convention to-day selected
Hon. Henry Powers, of Morrisville, to head
the delegation to Minneapolis. The other
delegates at large selected are: L. D. Hazen,

indorsed.
Harrison Feeling in Bllchlgan.
Lansing, Mich., April la The Re
publican Sixth District Convention to-day
elected as delegates to the Minneapolis
Convention Marshall E. Rumsey, of Leslie,
and S. S. Matthews, of Pontiac. The dele
gates were nninstructed, but the sentiment
is in favor ot the nomination of Harrison.
The Democratic Victory at Albany.
Albany, N. ST., April 13. James H.
Manning, Democrat, was elected Mayor yes
terday by over 5,000 majority, defeating
General J. M. "Warner, the postmaster of
Albany. Two years ago Manning defeated
Puller, Republican, by over 7,000 majority.
The entire Democratic city ticket was
elected yesterday by over fi.000 majority.
The Republicans gained two in the Board of
Aldermen and two in the Board of Super
visors. DALZELL CHARGES FRAUD.
He Says TVlien the History of Certain Pri
maries Is Written There Will Bathe
Mischief to Pay Confident He Is on the
F.Icnt Road to Win.
Philadelphia, April ia Special
Congressman John Dalzell was in the city
for a few hours to-day. He was on his way
to "Washington from Pottsville, where last
evening he addressed the Central Repub
lican Club, in company with Congressman
Marriott Brosins, the occasion being the
annual Henry Clay banquet The Potts
ville Central Club was the first organization
a year ago to tatce up Dalzell's campaign
for the League Presidency, and his recep
tion was a very generous and enthttsiastio
anair.
While in this city Mr. Dalzell met a
number of friends engaged in the anti-Quay
movement and compared notes. The con
clusion arrived at was that to assure the
ultimate defeat of Senator Quay it was only
necessary to continue the fight on the lines
marked out until the Legislature meets
next winter, when the result will be at
tained. There were a number of features
quite gratifying in the campaign, in Mr.
Dalzell's opinion, the Bedford county
primaries showing that the voters were not
rated at as much cash value, and the
Indiana Republicans giving the best assur
ance that Mr. Quay's tactics had not pre
vailed there.
Mr. Dalzell said he had no opinion to ex
press on the recent primaries, as there were
causes entering Into them that would event
ually reach the public in complete details,
and when the explanations came they would
evidence a condition of corruption of the
most startling character.
"All honest Republicans can bide their
time," was the significant summing-up of
the situation.
MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS TO-DAY
To Ignore the Miner Law nnd Select Elec
toral Candidates Just as Usual.
Deteoit, April 13. The Republican
State Convention to select delegates to the
National .Convention at Minneapolis will
be held in this city to-morrow. Prominent
"politicians and delegates are already ar
riving in the city, and the friends of Alger
are making strong efforts to have the dele
gates to the National Convention instructed
to support Alger for the Presidency. The
only serious opposition they are encounter
ing appears to be from those politicians who
regard President Harrison's renomination
at Minneapolis as already assured, and who
desire that the State delegation be with the
winning man.
It has been formally decided to test the
constitutionality of the Miner law of the
last Democratic Legislature, and the con
vention to-morrow will ignore this legisla
tion and nominate two Presidental electors
at large, as has been done from time im
memorial, and in addition to this each Con
gressional district caucus will be expected
to select onelector and report his name to
the State Convention at the same time that
district officers and committeemen and the
district members of the new State Commit
tee are reported. In other words, a com
plete set of electors will be named to be
placed upon the State ticket.
The result throughout the State to-day
shows that Alger men will largely
dominate the convention to-morrow. The
Harrison faction is in such a hopeless mi
nority that even to-night all that is asked is
that the customary resolutions approving
the past Republican administration be
adopted. Ot course this proposition finds
no opposition, General Alger himself ex
pressing the belief that any Republican
State Convention would be recreant to Its
duty which did not indorse the past admin
istration. A LIVELY IXOBIDA C0NVEHTI0N,
The Greatest Confusion Prevails While the

Tam-ahasse, Fla., April 13. The Re

dentials was appointed, and the convention
took a recess. .
At 8:30 the convention met again, but
word came from the Credentials Committee
that it would not be ready to report before

At 11:30 p. jr. the Committee on Credentials

Harrison, Blaine and Qnay Indorsed.
"WlLLiAMSPOET, April 13. The Repub
lican Convention of Lycoming county this
afternoon elected Judge W. P. T. Painter,
John W. Grier and W. W. Achenback dele
gates to the State Convention. Conferees to
select delegates to the National Convention
were appointed and resolutions compliment
ing Senator Quay and Mr. Blaine were
adopted and President Harrison indorsed
for renomination.
Not for Alger Against Harrison.
Albion, Mich., April 13. The Third
District Republican Convention to-day
elected as delegate to the Minneapolis Con
vention Senator Charles Austin, of Calhoun,
and Charles L. Truesdell, of Branch. The
delegates are willing to give a compli
mentary ote to Alger if the delegation
from the whole State so desire, but they
will not stay in for him in opposition to
Harrison.
Hopes for Alger's Success.
Bat City, Micil, April 13. The Tenth
District Republican Congressional conven
tion to-day adopted resolutions of hope that
General Alger may be chosen as the Presi
dental nominee of the Minneapolis conven
tion. Mr. S. Eddy, of Bay City and Judge
R. J. Kelley, of Alpena, were elected dele
gates to the National convention.
Jason Brown Has a Clear field.
Seymour, Ind , April 13. Congressman
Jason B. Brown, -n ho is home from Wash
ington, has received a letter lrom James K.
Marsh, of JefTersonville, announcing the
latter's withdrawal from the race for the
Congressional nomination. This gives
Brown a clear field for the renomination.

A Cleveland Boom In Baltimore.
Baltimore, April ia The mass meet
ing to night in Ford's Opera House, under"
the auspices of the Tariff Reform Associa
tion of Maryland, and In the Interest of
Grover Cleveland for President of the.
United States, was a pronounced success.
In opening Lis speech, which seemed
to be the keynote for all the
speakers who followed, Chairman Knott said
that the tide of publio sentiment in Cleve
land's favor was swelling with evarv day
and every hour, and would go onward and
forward until Grover Cleveland was nomi
nated at Chicago.
BARTER SPEAKS OUT.
He Telia Boston Democrats That Free
-Coinage Is Folly Cleveland the Moses
Who Will Lead the TJnterrlfled Oat of
the Wilderness Again.
Boston, April 13. The members of the
Young Men's Democratic Club celebrated
the anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson by a banquet at the American
House to-night. The speaker of the even
ing was Hon. M. D. Harter. of Ohio. In
eulogizing Jefferson, Mr. Harter said he
(Jefferson) was the embodiment of purity in
the civil service, and continued:
If he were with us to-night, If he exercised
a present personal and controlling influence
In the councils of the Democratic party, he
would be the most uncompromising civil ser
vice reformer in our ranks. I trust that when
sir. Cleveland comes to his own again as the
representative, not only of the Democratic
partv, but as trustee for the whole people,
lie will not leave Washington until onr civil
service system Is placed upon a permanent
oasis and securely anchored to tho Jeffer-
soman principle.
After touching upon the tariff question,
Mr. Harter came to the subject of silver.
ne saia:
Jefiersonian ideas are needed verymuoh
at the present moment. The great struggle
at Washington over the silver hill showed
that the majority of those who are called
Democrats misconceived the principle
of a true Democracy nnd were far
away from ideas of 'Thomas Jefferson.
Jefferson understood aB clearly as any man
of his time the true character of mone v, and
his writings on the subject show this cleaily.
Ills idea was that melted metal should pos
sess the same value as when It"
bears the stamp of the United
States.- HU view was right then and I
corrcot now, and will be until the end of
time. Our platform at Chicago must take
strong, clear and unequivocal ground for
honet Jeffersonlan money or we shall reap
no advantage from the great victory Just
won at the Capitol.
If I could promise here to-night, what I be
lieve will come to pass, that we will place in
nomination, on a sound Jeffersonlan plat
form. Grove" Cleveland and William
L. Wilson, of Wes Virginia, or Grover
Cleveland with some other equally out
spoken opponent of class legislation, the
great question of November will be decided
In June, and the return, the permanent re
turn, of the Democratic party" to power w ill
be as full of promlso to our country as the
triumphant success of Jeffersonlan ideas on
this continent will be for free Government
throughout the earth to all -mankind in the
ages to com:.
A SIGNIFICANT STAND.
South Carolina Farmers Want Free Trade
nnd Free Sliver If the Democratic
Platform Doos Not Guarantee Them
This They Will Join the Third Part?.
Columbia, S. C, April 13. Special
The Fairfield County Farmers' Alliance
one of the strongest in South Carolina, is
evidently ready to repudiate the Demo
cratic organization and jump into the Third
Party. The Tegular meeting of the Alliance
was held at Winnsboro yesterday, and after
tho adjournment the members resolved
themselves into a caucus to discuss the po
litical situation. After two hours' deliber
ation the following significant resolntions
were adopted, with only four dissenting
votes:
First That it is the sense of this meeting
in case of nomination for the Presidency of
the United States and for Congressmen of
candidates who will not favor the coinage
of silver and other measures, suoh ns an im
mediate reduction of tariff to as low an ex
tent as will be possible under present con
ditions, it is not to be expected of our people
to support Democratic national and Con
gressional nominations.
Second That it is not considered neces
sary or expedient to organize a Third Party
county organization until alter the result of
the Democratic national nomination is
known.
Third That meantime, till .-the result of
the Democratic Convention is known it is
right and proper tor our people to remain
and participate as heretofore la our local
Democratic clubs.
Fourth That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the delegates to be elected to the
State Convention by the County Convention
should be instructed to vote for no one as a
delegate rto the National Democratic Con
vention who is opposed to the Ocala de
mands. NEBRASKA FOR CLEVELAND.
Another State Convention Where Creden
tials Canse Considerable Confaslon.
Omaha. April 13. After an annoying
delay ot over two hours the Democratic
State Convention was called to order at
9.15 this evening. . The delay was
caused by trouble over the credentials
of delegates, and the State Central Com
mittee was busy the whole evening attempt
ing to straighten out matters. While wait
ing for the appearance of the State
Committee Congressman Bryan talked
to the delegates and "was en
thusiastically cheered. His speech was
confined to thanking the Democrats of Ne
braska for the honors that had been con
feree! upon him. Chairman Bally's casual
allusion to Cleveland brought the delegates
to their feet with enthusiastic cheering,
which clearly indicated the preference of
the NebraskaDemocracy.
Aiiar an fcour's contention the Chair
made a ruling permitting ihe Boyd delega
tion to vote, and denying that right to
the contesting delegates. A motion
that the Chair appoint a Committee
on Credentials of nine members was then
passed by a vote of 343 to 16a The Chair
man named a committee friendly to Gover
nor Boyd, and the convention, at 11:15,
took a recess without the formality of a
motion.
EWIHG ADMIRES CLEVELAND.
The General Shows His Presidental Prer
erence In No Uncertain Way.
Ann Arbor, Mich., April ia The Uni
versity Democratic Club celebrated Jeffer
son Day by a demonstration attended- by
many of the leaders of the party through
out the State. Ex-Postmaster General
Dickinson delivered an address of eulogy.
General Ewing, President of the Iroquois
Club, spoke in part as follows:
True Democracy does not consist in sim
ply professing the doctrines of Jeffeisonas
theories or government, but in day by day
applying them to our political environment.
Iu the approaching campaign the Demo
cratic paity will survive or perish in
a manly struggle for tariff reform, be
cause the Demoorats believe that equal and
exact J ustice to all men can never be attained
under a system ot government that Imposes
upon oner lass of citizens for the benefit of
another class, if the Democratic party,
with the sublime courage of convictions,
will adhere fearlesslv and faithfully to the
great political demand of the hour, tariff
reform, and will have the wisdom to choose
as its leader that marvelous man who has
demonstrated his preference for right and
deleat rattier than wrong nnd success, we
will go forth to battle thrice armed, and
move with resistless might to a great victory
under the great Cleveland.
Fewer Republican Inspectors.
Albany, N. Y., April 13. The Assem
bly to-day passed the bill reducing the
number of inspectors ot election in each
election district of New York City from
four to three. The bill was made a special
order ia the Senate for to-morrow. It this
bill becomes a law there will be two Demo
crats and one Republican inspectors in
every district in New York, instead ot two
Democrats and two Republicans, as now.
A Case ot Babies at Pottsville.
POTTSYiiLE, April ia While the 4-year-old
son of P. F. Curran, supervisor of
repairs on the Pennsylvania Railway, was
playing in the street, he was set upon by a
dog supposed to have rabies. The flesh on
both sides of his face was torn from the
bones, and the boy was terribly lacerated
about'the neck, shoulders and sides. After
being cauterized the wounds were stltohed,
bat the recoveiy of the child is doubtful.
ROUGH ON MR. RAM.
Bacy Testimony as to How Money
Is Sometimes Raised
BY MEANS OP PENSION LAWYERS.
A Coincidence That Is Remarked by Clerks
Who Get Discharged.
ME. COOPER IS FULLY EXONERATED
Washington, April la Before the
Raum Investigating Committee to-day T. TJ.
Buckley testified that, he was associated
with Commissioner Raum in the American
Gvpsum Mining Company, capitalized at
$2,000,000, W. W. Fleming, GeneralW. W.
Dudlev and others being stockholders. Mr.
Raum told him he had hypothecated $100,
000 of the stock to George E. Lemon as
security for a loan of $25,000.
V. M. Hodgkins, a discharged Pension
Office clerk, testified that nine out often
of the cases which first came before him un
der the completed file order belonged to
George E. Lemon. For the first six weeks
after the order was issued five-sevenths' of
the cases in his division were Lemon's.
James Morgan, of Bloomington, Ind.,
who was the Indiana pension attorney in
troduced to Hersey oy Representative
Cooper, took the stand, and in answer to
Mr. Cooper's questions said that ever since
Mr. Cooper's election to Congress he had
written to Cooper on departmental matters,
and Cooper had attended to them for him
without compensation being oflered, except
as concerned- the $25 witness sent to Mr.
Hersey through Mr. Cooper, and which Mr.
Cooper returned at once.
Sir. Cooper Not Believed Gnllty.
Representative Lind (Republican) said
frankly that he did not believe Mr. Cooper
guilty of any wrong, but in any event Mr.
Cooper was not under investigation, and he
objected to consuming more time uselessly.
He withdrew the objection upon finding
that the testimony related to facts already
developed.
Mr. Morgan testified that Mr. Cooper, in
introducing him to Hersey. had said that
Hersey would assist witness it ne nad any
thing worth paying for; but he would say
that Mr. Cooper's manner In saying it gave
him simply the impression that 'Mr. Cooper
recommended Mersey as a competent pen
sion attorney. His testimony in other re
spects did not difier much from what has
heretofore been stated.
Mr. Payson also said he did not allege
anything wrong on Mr. Cooper's part.
A very important admission was obtained
from witness by Mr. Enloe, the witness ac
knowledging that he had written the letter,
inclosing the $25 to Mr. Cooper, at the sug
gestion of Special Examiner Greenwalt, of
the Pension Office, whom Commissioner
Raum had sent out to investigate the mat
ter. Mr. Greenwalt had practically framed
the letter, and had himself sent the money
in a registered letter, instead of by draft or
check, to Mr. Cooper, instead of to Hersey.
in order that the matter might be fastened
on Mr. Cooper and he be entrapped.
Admittedly a Decoy JLetter.
Greenwalt said the office suspected Her
sey was calling up cases under Mr. Cooper's
name and with his knowledge, and that Mr.
Cooper was a party to it It was a decoy
letter, the witness admitted, but it failed
because Mr. Cooper had returned the money
in a letter stating that Hersey could take
no money for work done for him (Cooper).
Witness denied having written the letter
for Greenwalt because he feared disbarment.
He was a Republican.
Chairman Wheeler1 After you knew this
matter was wrong you sent this $25 for Mr.
Greenwalt to a member of Congress for the
purpose of seeing if a Representative in
Congres would accept money for illicit In
formation? Mr. Morgan Mr. Greenwalt had come
there and, figuratively taken charge of me.
I did it because he commanded or requested
'it of me.
REFUSED BY WANAMAKER,
The Postmaster General Won't But the
Confederate Becords He Thinks They
Should Be Looked After by the Treas
ury Department Congress Might Bny
Them, Though.
Washington, April ia Special The
Postmaster General has refused to indorse
the purchaso of the so-called Confederate
records, containing alleged entries of sums
paid Southern mail contractors. He was not
quite satisfied that such purchase, at the
price asked, $10,000, was advisable, or that
the purchase should be authorized bv Ike
Postoffict Department rather than by an
other department of the Government.
There seemed to be no positive proof that
the sums so set down in the books were ac
tually disbursed by the Confederate Post
office Department, or that they were paid
to the persons against whose names they
appear. There was nothing in the
entries to identify the routes to
which the alleged payments relate, or the
period of service which they covered, and it
was not demonstrated that the courts would
admit the books in evidence, or that they
would operate as a complete defense in a
suit brought against the United States on a
contract act for carrying the mails.
It also appeared that this purchase was
one which concerned the Treasury Depart
ment, which department mnst finally pass
upon all claims for mail service, and it was
suggested that the claims begin in the office
of the Sixth Auditor,and outside of the jur
isdiction of the Postoffice Department. If it
were the wish of Congress that the Confed
erate records bebougnt, the purchase money
had better be paid from a general appropri
ation, rather than out of the postal reve
nues, and that it would be perhaps better
to charge the Treasury Department with
the duty of purchasing them, because it
would be the action of that departmemt, if
any, that might be governed by the posses
sion ot the records sought to be sold.
A WEALTHY STOCKMAN VANISHES.
He Is the Brother of a Congressman, and
His Whereabouts Are a Mystery.
CBAWrORDSVTLLE, IND., April 1&
Special The creditors of Alex Brook
shire, a wealthy stockman and a brother
of Congressman E. N. Brookshire,
are fairly wild to learn of his
whereabouts. About a week ago
he quietly sold his herds and
drew his balance of some $8,000 from the
Ladogo banks. He then as quietly visited
every capitalist in tne county with whom
he had an acquaintance, and managed to
borrow about $10,C00 in small sums,v most of,
which is unsecured. A week ago to-night
he left his home at midnight with his wife
and son and all his goods.
It was reported that he had gone to Dar
lington to enter business, but investigation
shows he has not been near that place, and
not even his relatives have any idea as
to his whereabouts, although it is
pretty certain that he went West.

Not to the Battlers or the. Wyoming Militia,
But to United States Troops Dispatches
to Washington on the Situation No
Loss of Life.
Washington, April 13 A telegram was
received at the War Department this after
noon from Brigadier General Brooke, at
Omaha, transmitting the following tele
gram from Colonel J. J. Vanhorn, Eighth
Infantry, at Ft. McKinney, Wyo.:
Three troops or cavalry are now prepar
ing to move, and will start for the "T. A
Ranch," the scene of the disturbance, in
about two hours. It appears that a body of
about SO armed men, known as regulators,
and supposed to be in the employ or large
cattle owners, left the vicinity of,Casper
about the 6th Inst, and proceed to a point
on the north fork of the Powder river, 60
miles from the post knows as the ". C.
Ranch," where they killed two men and
burned the ranch. This was on the 9th
Inst. This body of men Is now at the "T. A.
Ranch," about 16 miles from the post, on the
north fork of Crazy Woman, where they are
strongly entrenched and defending them
selves against the Sheriff's posse, who have
them surrounded. The wagons owned by
the regulators have been captured by the
Sheriff's posse. The entile country is
aroused by the killing at "K. C. Ranch," and
some of tne best citizens are in the posse.
The following brief special from Buffalo,
Wyo., was received, after which the wires
went down: Early this morning the Sheriff
and reinforcements from Fort McKinney,
consisting of three troops of United States
cavalry, reached the ranch. The cattlemen
were still barricaded in the ranch build
ing, and the besieging party of rustlers
were firing brisk volleys into their en
trenchments, but few snots were returned.
As the troops appeared the rustlers ceased
firing. Colonel Van Horn, in command
of the troops, together with the
Sheriff, recconnoitered the ground
and then marched within long rifle range of
the ranch and dismounted his men. Colonel
Van Horn and the Sheriff with flags of truce
advanced to within 100 yards of the outer
fortification, where they were met by a
representative of the besieged cattlemen.
After a short parley the stockmen
surrendered to Colonel Van Horn, and
were at once escorted to Fort McKinney,
where they are at present under the pro
tection of the troops. The rustlers oflered
no objection to the eattlemen surrendering

TO-DAY!
THURSDAY, APRIL 14!
This will be a rare treat to the ladies, as not only is its immense space
filled with the choicest and most elegant collection of Ladies' Cloaks
and Costumes, the creation of the genius and skill of this country and
Europe, but there will be special attractions as follows:
We shall have on exhibition on that day one of the now famous
ASTOR DRESSES.
Here's its history: When Mrs. Astor was in Paris she ordered
two elegant dresses which were to be made and delivered at her Fifth
avenue residence.
Felix, the Artist in Ladies' Costumes, was the maker, and he sent
them to New York invoiced for so small an amount that they were seized
by the New York Custom House and sold at auction in that city.
One was sold to an actress for stage purposes and brought the
modest sum of $270. The other was sold to a firm in New York and
has found its way into our hands.
Shall we try to describe it? The material is an apple green silk of
costly texture. A long court train which, together with the front of the
dress, has a wide border of green velvet a shade darker than the ma
terial of the dress. On this border are embroidered Velvet Chrysanthe
mums, in shades of yellow and brown.
Elaborate passementerie intermingles with this in which, most ex
quisitely carried out but stay, it would take a column to describe and a
five .minutes' glance will tell you all
