It Is understood that the real contest Is over the live dele gates from the First and Fifth wards of Philadelphia, where it is contended the anti-administration forces clearlv won.

FIFTEEN INDIANS MURDERED They Are Shot Down la Gold Mood by th Stockmen, l.cd by Oaa of th Nutnoroua Smith Family. Chicago, Aug. tt. A special from Burns, ore., suys: A courier from Dia mond Valley reports the killing of fif teen Bannocks by cattlemen under Hie leadership of "Rye" Smith. Smith's reason was revenge for the murder of his father In 1S7S In Diamond Valley. There Is great excitement In the town and throughout the country. Troop A Is In readiness to mureh on short notice and Is awaiting orders from the county glirrltt for authority to act. While particulars of tlio affair are dlllluult to obtain. It Is learned that the mutter has no bearing on the Jack son Hole troubles. Ever since Smith's father was killed in 18S7 by warriors of the Bannock trilH, he bus been "on their Hull," and not a few of them met death at his hands. It seems a party of Indians were on their way to Diamond Valley and killed a number of cattle belonging to the stockmen whose herds range In that vicinity. A party of cattlemen were organized to punish the marau ders and Smith readily undertook to lead them. The pursuers located the Indians about an hour before sundown at their camp near the western edge of the val ley, and. without warning, opened fire upon them. The Indian bucks were thrown Into a panic and fled for the hills, the squaws following suit. The stockmen pursued them and fired a vol ley at the fugitives, dropping several of them, including one or two squaws. The pursuit was not continued, the cattlemen believing sutllclent puhish ment had been Inflicted. The courier reports fifteen dead Indians were fimnd after this one-sided battle. WILD MAN SEEN AGAIN. A Rig Hunt for the Mysterious Creaturo to start from Wlnstod Today. Wlnsted, Conn., Aug. 25. The wild man In Cnlebronk has been seen again, this time by Mortis Paefflln, a well-to-do farmer of Colebrook, who owns one of the largest farms in th,e Litch field Hills. While on his way here yesterday he taw the wild man eating blackberries In the berry patch near the Holmes farm. 'Mr. Paefllln got a good view of the hermit and describes his features as did Head Selectman Riley. W. Smith, who saw the man In about the same locality a week ago to day eating berries. Paefllln's story so terrorized the Inhabitants of Cole brook that they came here In groups today and by roundabout ways. They did not dare to leave their homes un less armed. A Colebrook-cltizen, with an old musket or bull-dog revolver at tached to an old army belt, is a com mon sight In Wlnsted strvets Some old settlers think the wild man a baboon which escaped from a me nagerie here a score of years ago. It is thought the creature lives In a cave In the mountains around Indian Meadow. Hundreds of citizens say they wouldn't go near him for fear of being killed. More than one party of berry pickers have been shot at from amhush while gathering berries In In. linn 'Meadow in the past few years. Frank Keefe says that while he, In company with Nut Reldy and Al Simons, was berrying at the foot of Colebrook mountain two years ago this summer two frightful looking men emerged from an open place In the ground and ritn like deer, shooting as they went. From Sntllli's description of the man he saw on last Saturday, the boys say they ore posi tive that it is one of the two men that nearly scared them to death two years ago. The searching party organizing to leave here at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn ing will number about 500 men. (Many members of Company I. Fourth regi ment, Connecticut iNatlonul Guard, will participate In Hie hunt. They put In three hours practice work at their rlile range this afternoon. (Merchants ure idling revolvers as they were never sold before, and If some of the volunteer cracksmen are not killed or fatally wounded by eiich olhpr In tomorrow's search It will be strange. The spot -where the wild man Is thought to hide In fhe mountains will be surrounded by squads of men. Justice John F. Sim mons threatens to arrest every man seen with firearms tomorrow, CONVENTION CALLED. Irish National I'nrty to Meet at Chicago In September. Chicago, Aug. 25. The Irish national convention, which has been culled to meet In Chicago Sept. 24, continues to stir up the lighting factions of the vari ous organizations In this country and evoko the bitterest denunciation of those who have Identified themselves with "the new movement" convention. The text of the latest attack was given to the United Press tonight. It la ad dressed to the members of the Ameri can Board, Ancient Order of Hiberni ans, and Is signed "James J. Hngerty, national delegate; Patrick Garry, na tional secretary; Dan P. Bnttle, na tional treasurer Ancient Order of Hi bernians, Board of Erin." fttct lorry was a prominent "Camp 2" witness against the murderers of Dr. Cronln. The address or appeal Is largely a vi tuperative elaboration of the confeder ated Irish societies' denunciation of the proposed convention and Its promot ers, The address continues: "If this convention I fairly successful the Re publican leaders will treat with Alex ander Sullivan for the delivery to their presidential candidate of the Irish vote, which he no more controls thun they do and, the Democrats will Implore Maurice F. Wllher, or Pennsylvania, and other co-consplrators of Sullivan to avert the stampede. This confidence game was successfully worked by the same men In the three Inst presidential campaigns." YELLOWSTONE PARK. , Captain Anderson Reports Oomo and Pish PlentlfnlTsn of the llsffalo killed. Washington, Aug. 26. Captain Oeorge L. Anderson, United States army, act ing superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, ha submitted his an nual report to th secretary of the In terior. He says that the past winter was exceedingly mild, with but little snowfall, and It was possible to make a complete tour of the park on June 1, a condition never before known. Travel, however,- was very light, and has con tinued so all summer. The number of flair captured by tourists excited Cap tain Anderson's surprise. The flsh tumbled over each other In their desire to be caught. The laws of Idaho are extremely de ficient in. game-protective measure. The buffalo, now o nearly extinct, la not protected at all. Th only herd of thtM now ln!tnc 1 on this border, Captain Anderson points out, and Is liable to cross Into Idaho at any time. At least ten have been killed within the last two years, and only about 100 of Uiese animals still exist. Idaho should be persuaded to pass a law to protect them In her territory. The act of May 7. 1M, has had the effect of perfectly protecting game within the park. The beaver have multiplied and the larger game are practically unmolested. The fnilthsotilan Institution has placed 11.000 at Captain Anderson's disposal with which to build an enclosure and provide food fur as many buffalo as can be driven within It during the coining winter. Moose, elk, antelope, deer and bear are plentiful and Increasing. The bears visit the hotels nightly and are a sourc of amusement and entertainment to the tourists. KILLED IN A FEUD. Throe Man Lose Their I.Ives In a Shooting Affray at l.otmey's Creek. Lexington. Ky., Aug. 25. A Bh.iotlnir affray, growing out of un old grudge between the Coxes and Thomases, Ira the vicinity of Looney's Creek, in Hit; Cumberland Mountains, occurred on Thursday. The battle lusted for an hour, In which three men, William Cox, John Boyd, and Jack Thomas, lost their lives, and Samuel Cox was mor tally wounded, being shot twice through the body. John Boyd ran an Illicit still, and the Coxes and Thom ases met there by chance. Ono of the Cox boys fired the first shot, which struck Jack Thomus, Indicting a slight wound in his arm. Then the battle begun, 'Besides John Boyd there were two Cox boys and three Thomas boys. They were armed with pistols, and shot from behind trees and stumps With telling effect. John Boyd tried to act as peacemaker, and was killed for his trouble by a bullet from one of the warring factions. Jack Thomus and Will Cox were killed InRtantly. The trngedy resembled the famous Mullen-Fleming battle at Pond Gap, In Letcher county, in May, 1SS2, when Ira -Mullen, his two sons, and one of the Flemings were killed, and for par ticipating In which battle Dr. Taylor was hanged In Wise, Va., In Septem ber. 1S93. The officers this morning arrested Burton Thomas and Hiram Boyd and took them to Wise. Vu., where they were put In Jail. Burton Thomas Is thought to have been the man who fired the shot that killed William Cox. and Boyd la accused of being also mixed up in the battle. CHOLERA IN THE EAST. Eight Thousand discs and 4.8(14 Deaths In Jupan 1 p to July III. Washington, Aug. 23. Consul Gen eral Mclvcr, of Kunaguwa, Japan, In a despatch dated July 22, informs the department that the total number of deaths from cholera In Japan during 15, up to July 1, was 4,804, the num ber of cases being 7.901. In the pre vious year there were only 314 deaths. In a period of two weeks prior the number of cases of Asiatic cholera re ported In Kobe was 210, and the num ber of deaths 1K6. These figures show a marked increase in the proportion of deaths, the usual average beimr about 6i per cent. Reports received by Mr. 'Mclver from the consul in Osaka and Hiogo (Kobe) Indicate that that port has been declared to bo nu Infected port. The latest cholera In formation received at the Marine hos pital shows that the disease Is further east than at any time this summer. Reports Just received for the week ending July 1.3 show that there were two deaths from choleraic diarrhoea at Hong Kong. This Is the first Indi cation of the plnrtue In that part of China, and, while the cases mny be simply choleraic In nature, the belief Is that they will prove to be full-fledged cholera. For the week ended July 19 there were eight cases and six deaths at Yokohama, and for the subsequent week five cases and five deaths. For the week of July 2.1. at Nagasaki, nine teen cases and fifteen deaths. Those are the first regular and authentic reports by the Marine - hospital re ceived from Japan. CAPTAIN QUICK'S YARN.

WILL RECEIVE VETERANS German-American Warriors Will Have the freedom of Berlin. TO PARADE UCrOKC THE KIXG The Soldlars of the Warof 1H70 Will Ito Accorded a Warm kecoption. tailed States Ambassador Munyon's Delicate Task. Berlin, Aug. 25. (Misled by the ex aggerations of tiie American newspu pelH, which represented that ubout 2.000 Germun-Amerlcan veterans of the Prunco-I'russluii war of 1870 were com ing here to take part In the fetes commemorative of that conflict, the (ermun ottieluls, acting under the or dersof the kaiser, prepared to give them a reception which should be of a tlotia. character. The emperor expect ed that about two regiments of these veterans would parade before him und would have made a special occasion of his reception of them. Official Informa tion hus since been received, however, which shows that the promised 2,W)0 men have dwindled down to about 210. Although the official and public re ception of these veterans will be of th' most cordial character, the olficlals feel that their small number will not Justi fy a national demonstration In their honor, und the prog rum me contem plated will In consequence be very much modified.
