WASHINGTON NEWS.
THERE APPEARS TO BE NO
DANCER OF AN
Indian Outbreak In Consequence of
Abandoning Several Military Posts in
the Weit—"If Clirl.t Cauie to Con-
gress"—Treaty With Spain.
Washington, Sept. 19.—Gen. Arm-
strong, assistant commissioner of In-
dian affairs, speaking of the changes
of United States troops and the aban-
donment of several military posts in
the west, says that "it will have no
effect whatever upon the Indians.
"There will be no outbreaks as a re-
sult of the changes," s.ajd he, "as
there are still plenty of troops easily
accessible to any possible point- of
danger. The fact is, there is little
danger of Indian troubles now.
We may have an occasional
disturbance, with some depreda-
tions and outrages, but they are
no more likely to happen than
among the white people. There is
more danger from anarchists in
Chicago than from all the Indians in
the west. Indian wars are a thing of
the past. Some bands may make
trouble, pillage and rob or something
of that kind, but then the James and
Younger gangs did the same, and
white men still hold up trains. With
the present railroads facilities troops
can be transported from the large
.posts more quickly than they can
inarch from any of tho little posts
which have been abandoned. So far
as protecting the Indian frontier is
considered the changes will make no
difference."

**lf Christ Came to Congress.'*
Washington, Sept. 19.—The re-
cently published book, entitled "If
Christ Came to Congress," has been
detained in the mails pending an in-
vestigation by the postoffice depart-
• ment of the alleged obscenity of the
publication. The author is W. C.
Howard of Alabama. First Assistant
Post Master General Jones has charge
of the question. He has little doubts
of tho merits of tho case, but he has
hesitated to pass on the book, as any
action would serve as an advertise-
ment. Mr. Jones says that in the
meantime tho question of detaining
the books rests with postmasters ivho
receive them.

Washington, Sept. 14.— The cases
of the so-oallod contumacious wit-
nesses before the sugar investigating
committee will be heard.Friday, Sept.
21, as to validity of the indictments

yesterday: John H. Galvvay, super-
visor inspection of steam vessels for

Treaty With Spain.
Washington, Sept, 19.—So far as
can be ascertained tho Spanish gov-
ernment has made no formal ad-
vance toward the negotiation of a new
commercial treaty with the United
States, and although steps in that di-
rection are not unexpected in the near
future, the subject is so fraught with
difficulties that the outcome of nego-
tiations is extremely doubtful.
Will Pay the Tax.
Washington, Sept. 18.—The com-
missioner of immigration received a
letter yesterday from Mr. Nicholl,
general passenger agent of the Can-
ada Pacific railroad, saying- that all
the Canadian transportation compa-

almost $13,000,000 for the first four«
teen days of this month, compared
with the last half-ef-A-ugnpt. There,
ceipts from customs have been $9,-
227,000, against $6,'730,000 the last
half of August, while the receipts
from internal revenue were $2,292,-
000, compared^witb $20,634,000 for,
the latter half of August. The loss is
due to the enormous sums paid on
whisky withdrawn just before the in-
creased tax went into affect. The re-
ceipts from internal revenue now are
about $450,000 below the normal and
are not expected to reach the nor-
mal again before January 1 .nexj;.
Treasury Receipts are ''now expected
to average about $22,000,000 a month
until January 1, the normal receipts
averaging about $33,000,000. This
estimate leaves Out of account any in-
crease in importations arising from
the operations of the new tariff law.,
The expenditures average about $34,-
000,OO0, but without, the silgar bounty
they will be reduced to about $31,V
000,000. For the next four months
it is est sated that the receipts will
be about $88,000,000 and the expend-
itures about $124,000,000. January
1 the collection of the half year's in-
come tax will swell the receipts to
about $100,000,000. so that at the be-
ginning cf tho next current year the
treasury cash will be on the wrong
side of the ledger about $24,000,000
on the first half of the fiscal year.
There is to be deducted from this,
however, $7,000,000 which the treas-
ury gained during July and August,
leaving a net loss to the. treasury for
the iirst half of the fiscal year of
about $17,000,000.

_JHEy ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP
' A SANTA FE'
But Are Greeted With, a ..Shower of,Bul-
lets, and Fled l'rom tho Scene—The
Oruuer New York Floated—Detectives
and Gamblers Have a Fights ,,. ,
Gorun, Mo., Sept. 19.—The Colo-
rado and Utah express on the Atchi-
son, Topeka and tpanta Fe roajl was
held up by robbers at 3:30 a. m. yes^
terday. Owing to tho fax;t that the
railroad had a spy on the trail of the
bandits when they stopped the train
they met a hail Of bucksliot and bul-
lets, and it is said that at least two
lie dead in the surrounding woods,
| while as many others rode for their
rendezvous, twetaty-orie miles away,
.filled with leaden pellets. They were
novices in the art of tra,in robbery,
and brutal ones at that, for
they shot "Dad" Prescott, the engin-
eer, before they even gave him a
chance to hold up his hands. His
wound, it is believed, will not prove
fatal. The raid was planned three
weeks ago, but not put into execution
until yesterday morning. Five farm-
ers living three miles north of Arbel-
la, Mo., are the men who held up tho
Santa Fe at Gorin, Mo. Two
of the men wero capturned at Mem-
i phis, Mo., one being shot six times
with a Winchester. He cannot live.
Need More Proof.
•» I
Washington, Sept. 15.—Tho inter-
state commerce commission has so
far received no facts or proof that
would warrant that body in institut-
ing judicial proceedings against the
Atchison officials for making rebate
payments. Expert Littlo'was iff "the
city a few days ago and had a short
conference with Col. Morrison, chair-
man of the commission. It was at the
latter's request. Tho expectation of
the commission was that facts would
"do set forth by Mr. Little sufficient to
warrant the commission in taking ac-
tion, but this was not realised. Mr.
Little spoke of the affairs of
the Atchison in a general
way, but gave no particulars,
on which prosecution could b^ based.
One of the commissioners said yester-
d^ .that the commission had not yet
considered it a clear case against the
officials of the Atchison, and that no
steps would be taken until additional
facts could be brought to light. The
Case has been under consideration lor
a long time and an investigation was
recently made in New York. The
members of the commission, with the
exception of Commissioner Clements,
are away from the city, and as the
full board will not again be in session
for several weeks a considerable
length of time will elapse before such
steps can be taken.
Detectives and Gamblers.
J " .'Chicago, 11!., Sept. ^9.—A pitched
i battle between Pinkerton's men and
j tho attaches of Harry Varnoll's gamb-
ling house at Madison and Clark
! streets was fought yesterday after-
noon during a raid on tho place. Var-
; nell"s is one of the largest gambling
i houses in the city and was well filled
! when a score of defectives headed by
Pat I'inkerton entered tho place. The
| occupants of the h'ouso armed them-
S selves with chairs and other weapons
and charged the intruders. Drawing
their clubs, the officers resisted tho
attack, and for lifteen minutes tho
j air was full of chairs and clubs. Many
I of the combatants were knocked
| down and badly wounded, but none
were dangerously hurt. An immense
crowd gathered, attracted by the row.
The detectives finally conquered,
making numerous arrests.

Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 17.—A
special from Tampa, Fla , says: Sat-
urday tho family of Mrs. C. B. Fitch
dined with the family of her brother-
in-l^aw, Mr. G. W. Allen. Soon after
dinner the members of both families
were taken violently ill and are in a
critical condition. It is thought two
of the children will die. Physicians
say that the people were poisoned by

! ily. The ice cream was made of eon-
i densed wilk.

nessees, and they will be presented to

tary of the United States embassy in

Oklahoma Cylone.
Perky, O. T., Sept. 18.—A cyclone
swooped down on the small towns of
•Jennings and Mining Sunday night
and nearly every house in both towns
were blown down. One young lady
and two small children are reported
killed and several persons seriously
wounded. At. Mining every house in
the town was blown to atoms except
three and one large frame building
caught fire and a conflagration re-
sulted. Later news from the cyclone
is that it was in the Jennings district
of Q county, and the town struck was
Mining, which contained about sixty
houses.' The report says that every
house in Mining was blown away ex-
cept three. Mining is located forty
miles northeast of here on the lino of
the Osage reservation and news is
hard to get.
A MIRACLE IN TLKAS..
A MarvelousXure Investigated by
the Texas Christian Advocate.
Jap. Routed.
Shanghai, Sept.. 15.—If the re-
ports received from Corea are true
there is no doubt that the Japanese
forces operating against the Chinese
are likely to be hemmed in. Dis-
patches from Fusan confirm the re-
ports1 that the whole of southern Co-
rea h^s rjsen against,tbe Japanese. It
also seems to be confirmed that the
Japanese force of 20,000 men who at-
tempted to march from Fusan to
Seoul met with disaster serious
enough to compel them to return to
the formed place with 1200 missing.
From this it is judged that serious
fighting must have taken place. Gen.
Li Yung Fo, a prominent black flag
chief of the Aural, has received
orders from the throne to depart
as soon as possible for the
island of Formosa, where he
is to act as assistant imperial high
war commissioner. A disastrous fire
occurred at Chung King August 25.
Thirty persons are known to have
perished and it is probable that this
number is far less than the actual loss
of life. It is estimated that the loss
by fire will amount to 15,000,000
taels. About 200 buildings were de-
stroyed. No foreign houses were
burned. Further details from Corea
say a Sapanese force of 2000 men was
sent to open the liqe of comunication
between Fusan arid,Seoul. Their ad-
vance was opposed by the Coreans,
wjio eventually compelled the Japs'
jreturn to Fusan with loss of 1200 men.
Two thousand men were sent to re-
inforce the Japanese now guarding
Sorio, which is expected te—be:: at-
tacked by Longnaks.

X~ Wtnrfle reij •. Executed. "
Eddy, N. M., Sept. 17.—James
Barrett, who killed James Barnes and
Jack Hullohan just north of town in
July, J898. was hanged here Friday
afternoon for the crime. He and the
murdered men were laborers'on an
irrigation dam above here and had
been out during the early part of the
night of the murder together and had
a dispute over some trifling matter.
Nothing was thought of the matter at
the time, but it seemed to have been
magnified in Barrett's mind and later
he got up from his bed, secured a
shotgun, covered the nightwatchman
with it and forced him to point the
way to the tents of the murdered
men. One of the men Barrett shot
in bed and tho other was called to the
threshold of his tent and shot there.
Barrett was indicted the following
November. A change of venue was
had to Lincoln county, where ho was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
Ho appealed to the supreme court,
but tho judgment was affirmed. Bar-
rett died game, contending to tho
end that he acted in self-defense.
ISecome Republicans.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 18.—The
sugar planters' convention yesterday
at Washington artillery hall was a
large and very enthusiastic assem-
blage. The hall, one of tho most
commodious in the city, was crowded
to the doors while the session lasted,
and there were present not only the
leading planters of Louisiana, but
some of the best representative men
of New Orleans. The bolters from
the Democracy had everything their
own way, and resistance to the pro-
gramme was but feebly made. Tho
convention went over to the national
Republican party in a body.
Shot a Woman and Himself,
Portland, Ore.. Sept. 17.—J. W.
Stanegall. a civil engineer, shot and
killed Mrs. Mabel Colvin on the street
yesterday afternoon and then blew
out his own brains. Mrs. Colvin was
walking 'when he met her. She was
a handsome brunette and came here
about two years ago from Woolwich,
Mass. She and her husband did not.
live together and only a few days ago
she filed suit for divorce. Stanegall
was an engineer employed at the city
park and it is said he was desirous of
paying attention to Mrs. Colvin, but
she declined to receive him.

(From th* Texax Christian Adnixate.)
A special representative of the Texas
Christian' Ad voc'ato was detailed to go
to Longview, Gregg county, and make
a full investigation of the reported
cure of Herbert E. Spaulding that haa
created so much taik throughout the
State. Arriving at the depot there
was no trouble in finding Mr. Spauld-
insr, he being well-known to every,
bddy in that city. After introducinjf
himself the Christian Advocatfe repre-
sentative "said: "Mr. Spaulding, I
learn that for years you \yere a great
sufferer, in fact a cripple, and that you
were at last cured and by a new dis-
covery in medicine. If you have no
objection will you relate your exper-
ience?" ,
In repley Mr. Spaulding related
tho following: "About eight years
ago while running a locomotive 1 con-
tracted sciatic rheumatism in my left
side from my hip down. It came on
slow but sure and in a few months I
lost control entirely of that member,
it was just, the same as if it was par-
alyzed, I was totally unable to move
out of my room for a year and a half,
six months of which time I was bed-
ridden. I tried every remedy sug-
gested, and had regular physicians in
constant attendance on me. I was
bundled up and sent to Hot Springs
where I spent three months under the
treatment, of the most eminent special-
ists, all of which did me no good, and
I came back from tho Springs in a
worse condition than wken I went.
The physicians at Hot Springs told
me that there was no earthly hope
for me, which was the same edict of
my doctors at Longview before
and after I went to the Springs. I
came home and laid flat on my back
and suffered the most excruciating
agonies, screaming in pain every time
anybody walked across the room, the
only ease I obtained was from the
constant use of opiates. After three
months of this kind of agony, during
which time my entire left leg perished
away to the very bone, my attention
was called to a new remedy called
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
ple, by Mr. Allison who is now train
dispatcher at Te'xarkana, and who
wass'relieved of locomotor ataxia of
twenty years duration, at his urgent
and repeated solicitation I consented
to give them a trial, after taking, a
few does began to 'improvo. I con-
tinued taking the pills and kept right
on improving until I was finally cured.
My leg is just the same size as the
other one, and I am sure that Pink
Pills not only cured me* but Saved my
life-
The reporter next visited the drug
store of Dr.- C. II. 'Stausburyr a regu"'
lar physician, a graduate-of one- of
the medical schools of Kentucky, and
a man who enjoys the confidence of
everbody in Longview. He said:
"I know that Mr. Spaulding had a
terribly severe attack Of sciatio
rheumatism of which I tried to cure;
used everything known to my pro-
fession in vain, and finally recom-
mended him to go to Hot Springs,
lie pame back from the Springs worse
than when he went and 1 thought it
was only a matter of time until hie
heart would be affected and he would
die. I also know that his cure >s the
direct result of the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' l'ihk Pills."
"That is rather an unusual state-
ment for a regular physician to make,
doctor."
"I know it is, but a fact is a fact,
and there are hundreds of people
right here in Longview who lanow
that what I say is tho truth. I also
know Mr. Allison and know that he
was relieved of a genuine and severe
case of locomotor ataxia of twenty
years' standing. He is a talented old
gentleman and is one of the _mo,st...en-.,
thusiastic advocates of Pink Pills.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and rich-
ness to the blood and restore shat-
tered nerves. They are an unfailing
specific for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuraligia, rheuma-
tism, nervous headache, the after
effects of la grippe, palpitation of. the
heart, pale and sallow complexions,
and all forms of weakness either
in male or female. Pink Pills are
sold by all dealers, or will be sent
post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents
a box or 6 boxes for $2.50—they are
never sold in bulk or by the I jO) by
addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
A New Invention.
Lying about the weather will not
be so easy hereafter as it has been in
the past. Some ingenious person has
invented a self-recording thermome-
ter, which makes a mechanical record
every day of the extreme height and
depth of the thcrmometor in the
course of each twenty-four hours.
People seldom think of a good doctor a*
"Doc."
