LnZCwTXrri Zw to--wardg - French frontier7 Kaufmanncalled three times for them to halt, but theypaid no attention, and he fired. Then, seeingcuns leveled at him behind some treesthe French side of the boundary, he retreafc- -

j ed from his position. One of-- the guards-- ,

named LinhOff. witnessed the wholeaffair and corroborated Kaufman's statement. Two largeblood spots were found on the French side,yards from the frontier, which are taken asevidence that Crigon, the game beater for theFrench party, who died from his wounds,dragged himself to the- - spot after beingwounded and lay there some time. Noblood marks or foot prints were seen on theGerman side of the frontier, there being ahigh growth of heather there. Owing to thedensity of the undergrowth of brush andthe thickness of the trees, it would have beenimpossible for Kanfman, from where hefired, to have seen the place where the bloodmarks were found or for him to have .shotanyone there. It is therefore assumed bythe public prosecutor that the shots werefired and took effect on German territory.

The North German Gazette deplores theincident and says: "We must await the re-

sult of the judicial inquiry before taking anyaction in the matter."

HKLD FOR RANSOM.

A Texas Ranchman .Captured by MexicanUandlts on the Oriental Flan.

Chicago, September 28. A Texas Specialsays: News has reached here from the lowerRio Grande country, giving particulars of adaring outrage perpetrated on a resident ofone of the border counties. On the 13th ofSeptember, Juan Garcia Barrea, a rich ranch-man, while a short distance from hishome, situated between Las Tederalis andLagozalina, was surrounded by five despera-does and robbed of $200. He was then takenacross the river into Mexico, and there close-ly guarded. Barrea's captors compelled himto write to his family notifyingthem that unless they immediatelyraised and paid to an individual named inthe letter the sum of $1,500 by September18, he would be shot. Upon receipt of theletter, Barrea's son promptly paid the sumdemanded and the prisoner was set at libertyand returned home. He says he was keptblindfolded during his detention, and whenthe captors received imf ormation that themoney demanded for his release had beenpaid, he was escorted to the river aboveRenosea and mounted on horseback. Hishandcuffs were removed and he was told' tego. During his detention he was kept in adense 'thicket, only traversed by narrowpaths, so narrow that horses were unable toget through the pathway, they also beingclosed with blankets stretched acrossthem.

THE YACHT RACE.

Astonished and Despondent.London, September 28. Yachtsmen of

Clyde are astonished at the result of thecontest yesterday and most of them are de- -spondent. Many blame Captain Barr, ofthe "Thistle," for standing too close to landantf reason that by so doing he lost therace. Captain Campbell, of the "Siren,"says he remains hopeful of 'the result andclaims the "Thistle's" best chances are tocome.

Iiondon Press on the Result.London. September 28. The Chronicle

says: "The next race, the weather beingmore favorable for the "Thistle," may bethe reverse of yesterday's contest, in whichevent public interest will be in the final raceof Saturday. Meanwhile Americans maybe congratulated on having held their ownand upon the prospect of still retaining thecup."

The News says: "It is not to be concealedor denied that the result of the race is a bit-ter disapr ointment. We had been led toexpect great things of the "Thistle," andAmericans themselves encouraged us in oarexpectations. Our disappointment is great-er because, though neither boat had theright wind for a thoroughly good race, alight breeze prevailed that was supposed tobe in favor of the "Thistle." The "Thistle"lost in a wind of her own choosing."

Severe Defeat for the Knights.LotosvuiIiEj September 28. The strike in

the woolen mills here which was inaugu-rated two months ago is a failure. Theweavers demanded increased wages andwere supported by the Knights of Labor.Mill owners took a firm stand, refusing totake back any who would not sign an agree-ment to give up allegiance to the Knights ofLabor and come back at the old wages.Nearly all of the weavers have agreed to theconditions and two mills are at work andanother expects to begin to-da- y. It is avery severe defeat for the Knights ofLabor, who lose nearly 700 members, aftersupporting them for two months, each hav-ing drawn from $2 to $5 a week from .hetreasury.

the hatha nq thrt nrinfprl mil a li ..- --The hearing of the renoris of eom- -

mitteos was resumed, the first in order be- -mg the commsttee on pensions. They relate

j pe euorts to procure noeral legislation andthe fate of the dependent pension bill. Thecommittee were at Washington during theaeDates in congress over the bilL It was notwhat they wanted but it at least wouldhave kept 12,000 veterans from pauperism.They thought tne bill should be far moreliberal. The bill met the approval of thepresident and they were fairly stunned whenfrom the same hand came the veto. Theyappealed to the Grand Army of ihe Repub-lic and the response came from 300,000members in no uncertain tones. The com-mittee therefore prepared a new pensionbill making provision for pensions to allveterans who are unable to earn their ownlivelihood, for a continuance of pensions forwidows, for an increase of the present pit-tance to minor children, and for fathers ormothers from any date of dependence. Sucha law would remove 12,000 veterans frompublic almshouses, where they now rest,making them pensioners, and provide forfully. as many more now dependent uponprivate charity, and put into general lawsfor the first time the recognition of the prin-ciple that pensions may be granted to survi-vors without proof of disability arising fromihe service, which it is almost impossible tosecure. , The bill is similar in general to thatvetoed bill, but the objectionable pauperclause is omitted. The result of submittingthis bill to the comrades of the Grand ArmyRepublic shows that, whateverlegislation some of the comrades de-

sire, they are' practically unanimousfor everything contained in the bill. What-ever elue may be desirable, the committeeknows from experience that any additionis only to be secured inch by inch after per-sistent efforts. The committee thereforerecommend the continuance of the effortslooking toward the accomplishment of thefollowing ends: Passage of thebill prepared by this committeegranting pensions to all veteransdisabled or in need; to mothers and fathers;continuance of pensions to widows m theirown right and increase for minoi children;increased pensions for disabilities, andmaimed veterans; pensions for survivors ofrebel prisons as presented in the bill of thenational association of prisoners of thewar; increased pension for loss ofhearing or sight; a of thearrears law; an equitable equalization ofbounties; the same pension for the widow ofthe representative voluneer of the unionarmy, John A. .Logan, as is paid to the wid-ows-

those typical regulars, Thomas, "theRock of Chickamauga," and Hancock.

A motion was maoe to postpone the con-sideration of the report of the oommittee ont esolations on a general pension bill, but itwas finally voted down, and after a great J

deal of parliamentary wrangling the reportof the committee was adopted without de-

bate.An effort was made to proceed to the elec-

tion of officers, and considerable parliamen-tary wrangling was the result. The com-mander finally ruled that other business hadprecedence.

The cities of Columbus, Gettysburg, Sara-toga and Chattanooga presented theirclaims to the location of the next encamp-ment. Hurst, of Ohio, made an able speechin favor of Columbus. Beath, of Pennsyl-vania, represented Gettysburg. Before theballot was announced, Chattanooga andSaratoga withdrew and the vote resulted inthe selection of Columbus, O.

A letter of greeting from the fifth nation-al convention of the Woman's relief corpswas received and read and a suitable replyadopted to this "auxiliary to the Grand Ar-my of the Repu blic. ' '

Theywere on their way to visit a neierhbor. andwere only a few rods from their destination.The buggy was torn to pieces and both oc-cupants killed instantly and thrown into anadjoining field. The bodies were so man-gled that neither could have been recognizedby those who were acquainted with them.The train men say as soon as they discoveredthe buggy on the track they made a des-perate effort to give an alarm and stop thetrain, but without avail. The crossing of thetrack at this point is between two bills andthe vehicle could not be seen until they werenearly upon it.

English Press on the Resnlt.London, October 1. The Chronicle says:

'The result of the race is decisive. We mustaccept our defeat with good grace."

The Daily Telegraph says: "The 'Thistle'was beaten handsomely on her merits. TheVolunteer' is a better and swifter ship all

round. The triumph stamps New Yorkbuilders at present oar superiors and teach-ers in the art of designing fast crafts."

The Standard admits that the "Thistle"was fairly beaten, but doubts whether theresult christens the "Thistle's" real form.An examination of tHn "ThintlfiV hnftnm.the Standard says, will likely throw somelight on the problem.

The Times says: "It is now clearthat if we want to beat Ameri-cans in their own waters andbring back the cup, we must condescend totake a leaf out of their book.

The Tribe AMaeirVTheic OM-Tls- ae aie- - XeaWt Arreec 1WASHWGTOir, D. .0., October 3. A ab

patch from acting Adjutant GsoeralPaul, was to-da-y received at ibt-w- ar

department through General Terry, v

stating that a number of the Crow Indianshad just returned from, a raid on the"Piegans," to their agency in Mon-tana, and had fired into the ageneybuildings, and Were defiant and hostile. Theagent was unable to arrest them with theIndian police and requested that the milita-ry be sent. Two troops were immediatelydespatched from Fort Custer, but theyfcund the condition of affairs moreserious than was expected and wereunable to effect the arrest of the Indians. Thedepartment commander was appealed to forinstructions in forwarding the dispatch.General Terry makes the following endorse-ment:

"I find it difficult tounderstand this actionof the Crows. They have always been welTdisposed and well behaved, except in re-spect to their feuds with other tribes.In our Siour troubles they werefaithful and efficient; moreover, arrests forthe same offense that is charged now havebeen made hitherto without difficulty andno trouble has followed. I fear that theremay be some cause for the excitement thatis not disclosed by the foregoing dispatchand think that it would be the best policy todelay attempts to make arrests until the ex-citement shall have abated. I suggest, also,that it would be well if in the meantime theIndian bureau should send to theagency one of its most capableand trusted inspectors to examineand report upon the situation. I have in-structed the commanding officer to confinethe action of the troops, until further orders,to the protection of the agent, his employeand the agency property.

Signed, A. H. Tebbt,Major-Gener-al Comanding."

A copy of the telegram has been sent to thtsecretary of the interior for his considera- - ,tion. General Terry's conservative viewsare fully approved at the war departmentand it is unlikely that any instructions willbe Bent from Washington. Itis surmised that the trouble arose from anattempt by the agent to prevent the Indiansfrom having their sun dance when they werein a state of frenzy,- - following their victor-ious campaign against their old time foesthe Piegans.

How the Trouble Arose.BruuNQS, Mont., October 3. On Friday

twenty-tw- o young Crow Indians, underChief Thunder-and-Lightnin- returned tothe Crow agency from a successful raid up-on the Piegans, living 300 miles north. Theybrought some sixty ponie3 they had cap-tured. Agent Williamson ordered them allarrested for horse stealing, where-upon they began firing into theagency buildings, fortunately doingno damage. The agent at once sent to Ft.Custer, and soon had four troops of cavalryon the ground. The Indians say they willnot resist the soldiers, but they have outrunners to bring all the Crows to the agencyand trouble is feared when it is attemptedto make the arrest.

Williams and Arthur L.Thomas, constituting a majority of theUtah commission, have filed with the secre-tary of the interior the annual report of thecommission on the affairs of that territory.A memorandum at the close of the docu-ment states that Commissioners Carltonand McClelland, dissenting from many ofthe views expressed therein, do not sign thereport. . The population of that terri-tory is estimated at 200?000, a gainof nearly 60,000 since 1880. The valuationof the property assessed in the several coun-ties of the territory is given as $35,665,802.The prosperity of the past seven years, saysthe report, has been equal to that of anyformer period in the history of the territory.On April 1, of the present year, the totalMormon population in the territory ofUtah, Arizona, Wyoming and New Mex-ico and the states of Nevada and Col-orado, was 162,383. The total churchpopulation of Utah was 132,297. The strengthof the non-Morm- element is estimated at55,000. This element now owns of the as-sumed property of the territory nearly one-thi- rd,

exclusive of railroad property. Thedifferent reiigieus denominations have nowin Utah sixty-tw- o churches.

Since the passage of theEdmunds law in 1882 581 personshave been indicted for unlawful co-habitation, and 289 of these wereconvicted. The number convicted of poly-gamy was fourteen. Many of the personsindicted have fled to escape arrest. Duringthe past year the names of sixty-seve-n menhave been reported to the commission ashaving entered into polygamy.
