Tho Itcd Men Unnblo to Distin guish Their Hereditary I'ncniy, the Cowboy, from Up Same Individual Clothed with Oificlnl Powers. Washington, June 13. The Indian office has received from Captain Stouch of the Tomrue River, Mont., agency, a detailed report on the recent trouble there arising from the murder of Set tler John Hoover by David Stanley, a Cheyenne brave. After much diplo macy on the part of the agent, Stanley nnd his two accomplices, Sam Crow and Yellow Hair are now lodged In Jail at Miles City, and will be tried by the courts. Captain Stouch's descrip tion of the trouble Is Interesting In that It shows the constant conflict be tween the federal officers and the state authorities in arrests of Indians. In this case the presence of the sheriff nnd a large posse came near causing a conflict with the Indians. Tho report states that soon after Hoover's body was found on May 23, Captain Stouch sent for White Bull and some ot the head men, being satis fied that it was Ms band which com mitted the murder. The old chief came in response to the summons and ex pressed his regret at the occurrence. Captain Stouch told him to tell the head men that .the band .would be held, responsible" for the murder unless they discovered the real culprit ana brought him to tho post. This they promised to do and An old Indian named Badger made the-flrophetlo remark: ."I prom Iso the agent that -it I find out, and I will try to find out, I wlllell him If It Is my own 'son." tIt turned out to be the son of the old brave who killed Hoover. This conference took place on the 27th of May and that same day Sheriff Glbb, of Cluster county and a band of 25 armed men rode up to the agency and Informed Captain Stoucfi that they wanted tho murderers. The agent replied that he was doing everything possible to discover and arrest the guilty Indians and It not interfered .with was con fident that he would succeed. The sheriff left four deputies and depart ed. STANLEY WANTED TO FIGHT. That evening Captain Rend with two troops of cavalry also arrived, boon after this AVhlte Bull came into the agency and told Captain Stouch that Stanley had. confessed to the murder but would not surrender, having sent word that he would fight nt 3 o'clock. Then the agent replied that ho would not allow the fight but that the chiefs must compel Stanley to give himself up. A courier was sent to recall the cavalry which had started for the sccene of the killing. By this time the news that Stanley was to fight had spread and the Indians became rest less. The squaws arid the children took to the hills away from the agency while the bucks rode In and stationed themselves on the hill tops near the post buildings. They were all heavily nrmed and had their hotses. They In formed the ngent that they had come to seo Stanley fight. Captain Stouch then says: "Captain Read returned to the agency with his command and at about 3.30 In the afternoon. At this time Stan ley was on a high hill in the rear of the agency and not at a great distance from it he had hlB horse and squaw with him; was In his war dress and paint, and wab' heavily armed. Ho was all ready for the fight. It was the de sire of Captain Reeed to charge and capture or kill him. At this Juncture a greatly excited Indian on horseback, approached with the information that Stanley did not want to fight the sol diers but did want to fight the citizens, meaning' tho deputy sheriffs who were here. I told him to go back and Jell Stanley I would not allow any one to fight him and for him to come in and surrender. Deputy Sheriff Smith told me he would attempt his capture If 1 would guarantee his safety from the other Indians; I told him I could not bo guarantee, and moreover there" would be no tight and that Stanley must be captured without any bloood shed. I wanted this done as an example for those amongst the Indians who con template wrongdoing, and I know per fectly well that If he were permitted to fight and was killed, he would bo a hero and brave In the eyes of tho tribe, whose example should be emulated by the young men. "Stanley followed in the footsteps of Head Chief and Crazy Mule, of whose herolo dentlrs, stories are told around the fires, making every young Wn anx. lous for a similar death. I believe It was In 1891, that these two young men killed a whltu boy and afterward had a fight with soldiers and was killed. Thus these' two young men became "heroes" and to prevent the repetltlpn ot this Incident I forbade any fighting. I d(d not think It wise and prudent to make the, attempt with but two troops of cavalry here; while I believe the Indians were not disposed to re sist the capture of Stanley, still there was i.o telling what they would do when one of their people was being fired upon; had they made a resUtanco there Is no telling where It would havo ended; they can muster almost BOO warriors, and knowing of their dispo sition to resist, I thought two troops of cavalry would not stand much, show of oercomlng these warriors whoso fierceness was noted." SHERIFFS ORDERED AWAY. As the presence of tho deputy sher iffs Interfered with his Investigation, Captain Strouch asserted his authority and ordered the deputies off the res ervation. By that time Stanley had disappear ed. After much trouble he was lo cated at Black Ragle's camp. Captain Stouch Immediately started for tho camp and there found the braves ful ly armed and still disinclined to sur render without a fight Finally he con sented to accompany the agent back to the rost, still refusing to give up his arms. He was then persuaded to give up his rifle and when the agency was reached he was promptly locked up. In the meantime Sheriff Glbb re turned and demanded the person of Stanley. Finally after much parleying Captain Stouch became convinced that It was useless to hold the murderer longpr and turned him over to the sheriff, sending an escort of cavalry with him to the railroad. Yellow Hair arfd Sar Grow were ar rested by Captain' uch' after his report bad been mallu.'' Tho tone of the report throughout Indicates that it was the, presence of the sheriff's posse that aroused the Indians. They are unable to distinguish their hereditary enemy, the cowboy, from the same In dividual, clothed with a sheriff's pow ers nnd It was these men and not the soldiers that Stanley wanted to fight. SUICIDE IN CHURCH. Unknown Woman Strolls Into Noonday Prayer Service and Shoots Herswlf With a Revolver. , New York, June 13. While Rev. Dr. Parks was conducting noonday prayer meeting in the Calvary Episcopal church at the northeast corner of Twenty-first street and Fourth ave nue, yesterday, an unknown woman, about f5 years old, walked Into the vestibule of the church. A moment later she put a revolver to her right temple and fired. The worshippers were terrified. The minister and several members of the congregation rushed out of the church and knelt beside the prostrate woman, who died before the arrival of un am bulance. She wore a black brocade skirt, brown velvet waist, low shoes, almost new, and fancy black stockings with white checks. Her bonnet was small .and trimmed with tulle, and artificial Pink, flowers. She carried, a. fcilk um brella. In her pockets was a pockefbook containing a small sum of money, a pair of eyeglasses and a pawn ticket. By means of this ticket the suicide was traced to a pawnshop, where sho had -obtained a loan on an- old-fashioned miniature breastpin. The breastpin is unusually fine and would have cost a good deal of money half a century ago. The frame is oval and of solid gold. Within this, mountPd on a swivel, are two miniatures of women. These aro mounted back to back, and are so arranged that by turning them on the swivel either one can be made to show. One of the faces bears a family re semblance to the dead woman, and Is belle.ved to be that of her mother. It Is the face of a woman apparently of English birth, with light brown hair, blue eyes and delicate features. The gown shown Is trimmed with rich lace. The other miniature Is that of a wo man about 30 years old, with auburn hair and blue eyes. It very much' re sembles the other picture. The sui cide gave the name "Mrs. Riley" at tho pawn shop. ' , DESPAIR DROVE HIM MAD. Atlnntic City Mnn, Out of Work, Takes His Life. Atlantic City, June 13. Despondency over continued illness and not being able to support his family caused Ed ward Scull, aged 38, to commit suicide this morning. He committed the deed by taking a mjxture containing mor phine. Scull lived at 135 North Missouri avenue with his wife and family. He had b'-en out of work for over a year. He arose early this mornlg and started to go clown stairs, stating to his wife that he was hungry nnd was going to get something to eat. He teturned to the bed room In a dazed condition and It at once flashed upon Mrs. Scull that he had drank the contents of the bottle of poisonous medicine In tho cupboard. Two physi cians were summoned, but he was be yond their atd and died six hours later. WOMAN'S STRANGE ACCIDENT. A Dross Opens a Gns Cock, Nenrly Siilfocntlng'IIcr. Brldgeton, N. J., June 13.

Not feeling well, she went to her room In 'the hotel, threw a dress upon which sho had been work ing over the back of a rocking-chair, went to bed and quickly fell asleep. The weight of the dress "upon the chair caused It to go backward and strike the kep of a low gas fixture, let ting the gas flow at full head. The odor was noticed In time by others In the hotel, and an Investiga tion revealed that Miss Flske was un conscious. A phyBlclan was sent for. who worked with her for a long time and finally succeeded In restoring her. Tho Yellow I' I up; Flying. Ban Frunclsco, June 13.

COST OP FEEDINQ FOREIGN PAUPERS Thousands Arc Expended Annually in Providing Tor tho Immigrants Who Aro Uumpad from tho Slums or Europe Upon tho 8tatc-lcnnsyl ' vanin tho Grcntost Sufferer from tho X'lirclr Allen Pauper. Special to the. Scranton Tribune. Harrlsburg, June 13. The report of the committee to Investigate the num ber of aliens quartered upon the state will be filed Monday night by Chair man Focht. The committee was cre dited hy the last legislature and has been actively engaged for elghtosn months In gathering Information on this subject. As a result of tho Inquiry a bill providing for the return of pau pers nnd Indigent Insane persons not having a legal settlement within Penn sylvania to any other state or country to which they may belong was Intro duced a month ago In the house by Mr. Focht. It passed that body In less than n week on a sneclal order and will be rend the first time Monday night In the senate. A personal visit was mndo to every Institution in the Btate maintained wholly or partly by the commonwealth by Chairman Focht nnd other members of the committee. The Investigation was made at a cost of-about $3,000, this amount having been given to the committee by tho last legislature. This Includes traveling and hotel ex penses, stenoghaphers' fees and print Ins. The patriotic societies co-operated with the committee In Its inquiry and. were of great help. These organ izations were represented on the com mute by Clarence F. Huth, of Sha mokln, state president of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, and D. R. Smith, of Laurolton. The other members are Representa tive B. K. Focht, of Union; Pcfry M. Lytle, of Huntingdon; Frank Comly, of Montgomery; John Pascoe, of Le high; S. S. Staples, of Luzerne; Sen ators John J. Coyle, of Schuylkill; Christian C. Kauffman, of Lancaster, and William H. Hyde, of Elk. Huth and Smith were appointed by Gover nor Hastings and their colleagues by the presiding ofllcei-3 of the senate and house. The report of the commit tee follows: "The evils complained of that led to the framing of the resolution' authoriz ing this Investigation have grown out of the too liberal emlgmtlop laws of the country, ' whlqh, in latter years, have invited In many cases no longer th'e thrifty 'European or Astatic who nt crn.ee becomes self-sustaining and a good citizen, but the most degraded and 'Ignorant of the Slavonic countries, who have not only been a menace to American workingmen, unbalancing the equilibrium that previously exist ed between employer and employe, but the burden put upon the taxpayer for the support of these unnaturalized for eigners has become unbearable and there is need of alarm and quick ac tion lest tho great 'charities that have been furnished through th'o Christian bene'olence of the people of Pennsyl vania be In large part diverted to the support of a purely alien clot-s Instead of relieving the distress of American citizens and former taxp'ayerh. "It Is a fact, confirmed by statistics, that the extent of Immigration to our shores during given years or seasons depends upon business prosperity showing how impossible it is for eras of prosperity to extend over long per iods since, as soon as there Is a de mand fcr our products tho tide of Im migration Urns to this country nnd thn demands for labor are quickly filled, wages go down and then follows complaint of hard times. This Is par ticularly hurtful to Pennsylvania nnd the Eastern states, for, while the West has received many Immigrants, these were quickly absorbed on account of the vast stretches of unsettled coun try. ' l BURDENS UPON TAXPAYERS. "In the East American labor Is con fronted with the necessity of surrend ering a fraction of Its employment to the newly-nrrlval Immigrants who have swarmed here like diseased mat ter from tho body or sending the lat ter to our public Institutions to be supported by the state. The evil of burdening the public with this class we design to correct. The even great er evil done to our American work ingmen by permitting a contamination of general immigration must bo dealt vjth by our national congress. The immigrant of recent years has come to be regarded not, as formerly, a seeker of liberty from the land of the oppressor, but by reason ot his Ignor ance nnd venality has become an Im position, not a person whose assimila tion can be very speedy or If it ever takes place to be productive of a ment ally or morally hardy people, "With knowledge gained through re liable sources, In many cases, foreign countries have made It a business to gather up tho mentally and physically weak, those likely to become a public burden and shipped them to theUnlted States, paying their ocean voyage, where they quickly become objects of public bounty. The reports of the va rious Institutions .visited by the com mittee aro taken from the office books, where such were kept In a way that would enable the committee to get in formation of value, nnd these reports may be relied upon ns being as nearly accurate ns such information can be as certained when It is considered that the work was done among a class who not only in many instances have un pronounceable names, but who speak a foreign tongue. It Is fair to assume that the percent age of burden by the state and counties Is very much In excess of the num bers and amount ascertained by the committee. Fearing the refusal of ad mittance many claimed citizenship who were never naturalized, .while where recordB were npt kept hundreds were left out and the extent to which thoy were a burden upon the publlo must be approximated. It Is the be lief of the committee that wMIe the jeport shows something ovor $1,000,000 a year as the sum total cost to the stato and counties for their mainten ance it is our conviction from observa tion that the amount Is In excess' of a million and a half nnd Is Increasing yearly;. WILL PRESCRIBE. A REMEDY. "Having diagnosed the case and hav ing cttabllshcd by nccurats and spe cific information tho extent of the great evil nnd the Imposition long endured by tho commonwealth we are prepared to prescribe n remedy which, If car ried out, along the humane lines sug gested, will quickly relieve our stale. There are no states in the Unloi that are not unJUKtly burdened with alien paupers or alien insane, but Pennsyl vania bears the greatest share. Our correspondence with the officials of ev ery state In the Union discloses the fact that everywhere the people are awake to this Issue and are consid ering means for relief. "Minnesota has Just passed a law providing for the removal of aliens Into other states and to other countries. Massachusetts long ago began to bat tle with the question and a law on her statute books enables the author ities to remove alien paupers and alien lnnane to other states and other coun tries. Last year alone, after the law had been In operation some time, and the state pretty well weeded out, 650 were returned to other states and 518 to other countries, making a total of 1,168. New York and Rhode Island have also laws that give partial re lief nnd New Jersey Is about enact ing such laws. "To meet and remedy the evil which exists In Pennsylvania, and which is universally deplored we have drawn a bill which Is now on the senate cal endar. It Is modeled after the laws of other states where the plan has worked successfully, but to entirely conform to not only the constitution of our state, but to humnnltarlan usages. We are confident that If this bill becomes a law this commonwealth will be saved millions of dollars, the standard of cit izenship elevated, our congested public Institutions relieved and a higher In centive to acquire the requisite quali fications of citizenship presented to hose who truly and honestly come to our shores to seek freedom and become a law abiding, industrious part of tho body politic."

The train was running slowly nt the time and fortunately no seilous damage was done. It was found that several heavy steel rails had beem placed across the tracks and strorgly braced with several other rails, and it appeared to the detectives who were at once put on the case, and to th'e train people, to be a desperate attempt to wreck tho train.

HAWAIIAN AGENTS ARE VERY ACTIVE Tbey Are Working Hard for Annexation at Washington. TIIE RECENT TROUBLE WITH JAPAN Hnwniinn Representatives Aro Los ing No Opportunity to Impress Upon Congressmen tho .Necessity of Speedy Action In Order to Hen Off Other Nations Who Dcsiro to Pos sess nn Assortment of Volcnnocs. Washington, June 13. Mr. Hatch, the Hawaiian minister, and Lorln A, Thurston, ex-mtntstcr to the United States, called at the state department this afternoon and spent half an hour In close consultation with Assistant Secretary Day. They said on coming away that their business was unim portant, but declined to state Its na ture. All that could be gathered from the state department was that the visit had no reference to the trouble that Hawaii Is experiencing In the effort to control the entry and colonization of Japanese laborers. As It Is well known, however, that the Hawaiian represen tatives are losing no opportunity to Im press upon congressmen and other pub lic men the necessity of speedy action in the direction of the annexation of thef islands lest the chance be lost to the United States, it is probable that the minister profited by his visit to Judge Day to make some representations in that line, and perhaps to suggest out lines for a treaty. No confirmation can be obtained as yet of the report that the Hawaiian le gation here has made the demands of the Japanese minister at Honolulu the subject of representations to the state department, yet It Is not doubted that the state department Is acquainted with the details of the notes exchanged on this subject from one source or another, perhaps through Consul General Mills nt Honolulu. It Is not the policy of the stnto department to commit Itself needlessly In advance on such questions as are presented In this controversy be tween Japan and the little Island re public, but it appears that Hawnll Is only insisting upon exerclslngarlghtin the regulation ot emigration that the United States has asserted without contradiction from any source. It may be regarded as settled that Hawaii will receive the support of this government to that extent at least. CARRIED OFF BY YELLOW FEVER. Willinm Korn the Last of n Tarty of Gold-Seekers from Colorado. Denver, June 13. The death of Wil liam Korn, of Leadvllle, Col., from yellow fever In quarantine at New York yesterday markr the extlrctloh of one party of prospectdrs who left Colorado last March to dig for gold In Bolivia. The other members of the party Thomas Quarle, of Aspen, and Frank O'Keith and William Hahn, of Leadvllle died of the fever In Bolivia. Of another party of four who went from Colorado to Bolivia about tho same time only William Hurley sur vived, and he Is reported to bo 111 In quarantine at New York. Th'e fate of these venturesome gold seekers will probably stop emigration from Colorado to South America for some time. Korn's father worried so much about his son's trip that his mind became unbalanced, and since Memor ial day he has been missing from his home In Buffalo, N. Y. It Is feared that he has committed suicide. INSURANCE AGENTS ARRESTED. Accused of Placing foreign Insur ance in nn Illegal Mnnncr. PlttBburg, June 13. Four Insurance agents havo been arrested here on charges made by B. D. Evans, Btate In surance commissioner. They are ac cused of placing insurance in foreign companies without having taken out the necessary license, thereby defraud ing the state out of considerable sums of money. Those arrested are G. M. Alexander and his son, Joseph S., doing business es G. M. Alexander & Son, and 11. L. Rlngwalt and Smith Agnew, of 216 Third avenue. He made six Informa tions In all, ono against the Alexanders and five against Rlngwalt & Agnew. The presecutor says many more ar rests will be made here and throughout the state as fast as the men working on the cases can secure sufficient evi dence. HOT WAVE COMING. Wcnthcr Conditions Reported for the Western States. Washington, June 13. The storm conditions have remained nearly sta tionary over New England. Light showers have occurred In New England, the lower lake region, the Middle Atlantic states and In the Red river of tho South valley. A hot wave of considerable propor tions has settled over the Mississippi valley and adjoining districts, a maxi mum temperature of 100 degrees being reported from Wllllston, 98 from Au gusta and Montgomery, 96 from Atlan ta, Nashville and Jacksonville, 91 from Charlotte, Knoxvllle, Memphis, Carlo, Davenport, Dubuque, St. Paul and Bis marck. It Is probable that this hot wave will gradually spread eastward over the lower lake region and the Mlddlo At lantic states. WOMAN'S HEAD FOUND. Boys' Discovery in a Collar Dlny Un enrth n Murder. Rushvllle, Ind., Juno 13. The discov ery of a woman's head burled In earth In a cellar of a vacant house In the centre of tho city has aroused Intense .excitement here. Two boys wero in the cellar rumaglng among some old bar rels nnd boxes when they made the discovery. The head is that of a woman prob ably. 40 years old. The flesh was de cayed, leaving the skin hard and dry and pressing tightly ngalnst the skull. There are 'thirteen teeth, six upper and seven lower, looking ns bright nnd nat ural as if their owner was alive. A mass of short, curly blonde hair crowns I the head, .with bangs in front. The facial appearance gives rise to the be lief that the owner of the head had possessed great beauty. A long cut or incision In tho skull over the right ear tells how tho woman met her fate. The prevailing opinion Is that tho woman was murdered, her body burled elsewhero nnd the head burled in the cellar. CALCUTTA IS SHAKEN.

The Sugar Schedule of Dill Is Expected to the Senate. the Tariff Occupy Washington, June 13. Tho sugar schedule of the tariff bill Is expected to continue to be tho subject of considera tion In the Benate for the .next day or two. The Hawaiian treaty and anti trust amendments are still to be dis posed of and both will excite consider able debate. With the sugar question settled the arglcultural schedule, which has been partially considered, will be again taken up and .will In turn be fol lowed by the tobacco schedule, if In the meantime the Republicans agree upon Its provisions. The Republican mana gers hone to also dispose of the spirit, and cotton schedules during the week and possibly ,to make some progress with the hemp and flax provisions. There will be no great 'amount of de bate on either cotton or spirits. There was at one time talk of an attempt to add compensation duties on cotton goods because of the duty fixed on raw cotton, but this is understood to have been abandoned If ever seriously con templated. The'Democrnts do not find the present schedule objectionable ex cept In minor details and will allow It to go throught' with but little discus sion. The Republican senators now hope that the debbte in the senate will be concluded "within the next two weeks, notwithstanding less than one-third of the bill has been gone over. They hare .secured an agreement wth the Demo crats that the sessions shall begin at 11 o'clock each day -instead of 12 after Wednesday nexf. The house probably will continue Us policy of adjourning from Monday over to Thursday and from Thursday until the following Monday. No business will be done and the session tomorrow will be merely perfunctory. BALLOON CAUGHT FIRE IN THE AIR. I'ntnl Ending of nn Ascension nt Ilcr lin Two Men Aro Killed. Berlin, June 13.

The news of the attempt spread like wildfire through the city and -when M. Faure returned to the Elysee the streets along the routo where , it was known 'ho Would drive were crowded with people whd cheered him-vociferously. It was at first reported that th'o would-be assassin was a young man about 25, who stood In the crowd a hundred yards or more from the raco course and discharged a pistol at M. Faure as he drove up to tho entrance, and there was a subsequent report .that both pistol and bomb were used. But the police now believe thnt the sup posed pistol shot was merely the nolso of tho bomb. Tho bomb was a clumsily made af fair, to which a piece of fuse was at tached, and the fu& was probably lighted by a paper fixed in the end of a stick as soon as the head of tha procession came into view. The pre sumption is that at the moment tho fuse was lighted the culprit fled, and In any case the bomb could not havo done much harm. In the thicket where the police found the remnants of tho bomb, they found also a pistol upon which were engrav ed the words "Mort a Felix Faure" and the names Alsace-Lorraine and Cologne. Near the pistol was a small dagger. Bearing a similar threatening in scription, and a few feet away th'e Iollco found a newspaper with a car toon grossly insulting to tha presi dent. This contained an offensive in scription hinting at tho execution of M. Faure. Several persons have stated to the! police that the moment the explosion; occurred a man was seen to run swift ly into the thicket, but reports of this character are likely to bo mere con jecture. The correspondent of the Associated PreES had an Interview with an official who was riding with' M. Faure. Tho official said: "When the report was heard, a donsa cloud of smoke rose from tho thicket end there was consternation until It was found that no one had been In jured. The police sprahg forward, but found the thicket deserted. When tha crowd saw one of the policemen hold ing the bomb, he Jumped to the con clusion that he was the perpetrator of tho outrage and handled him roughly, clubbing him with heavy walking sticks and umbrellas until his com rades rescued him, badly bruised and covered with blood. Tho president's cortege then proceeded to the rocs course." m Stnto College Commencement. State College, Pa Juno 13.
