INDIAN DISCONTENT.
borlou, Trouble Apprehended From the
Cheyennes sad Arapahoes.
KassAs City, Mo., Nov. 18.—a serious out-
break among the Cheyeuno and Arapahoe
tribes in the Indian territory is threatened and
men familiar with thoir ways declare that un-
less prompt action is talcen by I! nele Sam iWO
redskins will bo on the warpath very soon. A
i,'host dance has been in progress since the
Bppearance of Sitting Bull, a distant relative
ot the great chief killed during tho I'ine
lfidga troubles. The attempts of the red men
to cultivate their lands have been miserable
failures, and on account of their ignorance of
husbandry hundreds of thoin are in actual dis-
tress. C. C. Painter, the Indian philauthro-
piBt, says to-day: "The Indians are cross and
restless, and are sure to put on war paint un-
less tho govornmont gives them food. They
nre really in a bad plight and already sutler
from hunger. Besides they believe they were
dwindled by unscrupulous whito men in the
sale of their lands and their feeling toward tho
govern jient is one of intonse hatred."

nati. its capital will be $700,000, distributed

Aa Far as State Management Goes It Will
Be the Chief Innovation— Electiva
Commission Probable.
Topkka, Kan., Xov. 18.—Governor-elect L.
D.Lewelling to-day gave the first authoritative
statement of the policy he and hia follow pop-
ulist officers will follow in the uiauiigoment of
the state's affairs during their incumbency.
Nothing, he said, will be done to impair tho
credit of the state. None of the wild schemes
which their oppononts credited to tho popu-
lists will be put into effect. The only radical
legislation will be that in relation to rail-
roads. In the first Dlace, the present
republican board of railway commissioners
will be displaced for a populist board and a
bill will be passed investing: it with full au-
thority to fix rates and with power to enforce
Vhotn. The people's party, he added, wanted
to see rates in Kansas conform to rates in
Missouri, Illinois and other western states. A
maximum rate bill will probably be passed.
The railway commission also will probably bo
made elective instead of appointive.
A Scrlnus Politico-Legal Question.
Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 18.—The legality of tho
installation into office of the governor and
state house officers, tho election of state court
judges and bills passed by the present legisla-
ture have been callcd into serious question.
Several amendments to tho constitution were
voted on in the October election, one of which
changed the sessions of the legislature from
biennial to annual. Another fixed tho length
of the session.
The amendment changing the session from
biennial to annual did not specify any date of
opening, but a change was made in the body
of the bill and not in the caption. Nor was it
ever voted upon. It thus transpires that the
legislature was called to order illegally. At-
tention has been called to it anu a case of
some kind will be made. The matter presents
a very interesting situation and is being dis-
cussed with much interest by lawyers in the
state.
Stevenson ut Galesburg.
Galkbbubg, 111., Nov. 18.—A committee of
prominent citizens met Vice President-elect
Stevenson and party at Peoria and accompa-
nied them here. A large crowd from this and
other cities assembled at the depot and cheered
lustily as the vice president passed through to
the Union hotel. The streets were elaborately
decorated, republicans vioing with democrats
in honoring the oity'B guest. Democrats for
forty miles wore presont. Mr. Stevenson's
time was taken up in receiving the people, lie
was the recipient of no end of hearty congrat-
ulations.
Woman's Right to He n Senator.
Wichita, Kan., Nov. 18.—Mrs. Mary E.
Lease said this aftornoon: "I have never an-
nounced myself for the United States senate,
but if any tight is made upon me on the
ground of sex and if it is claimed that 1 am
constitutionally ineligible I will most cer-
tainly enter the rice and make a test case out
of it. Heretofore I always won in every con-
test I entered and I have opinions from some
of the best jurists in tho country that no legal
objection exists to prevent the election of a
woman to the United States senate."
TEXAS POLITICS.
Tli® Waco Conference,
Waco, Tex., Nov. 18.—Tho state democratic
executive committee will meet in the Garland
opera house in this city to-morrow, pursuant
to call of Chairman A. L. Matlock, to consult
about plans for the future. A large assembly
of friends of the cause will be present. Over
half of the committee has arrived already and
the hotels are fast filling up. Every
committeeman who has arrived thus
far brings news from his district that the dem-
ocrats are determined to carry the tight to a
finish and will not stop till they havo wrested
from the communists the habiliments of dem-
ocracy which have been stolon nnd in which
they have been masquerading to the detriment
of tiie state in the past campaign.
Going to Wneo.
Fort Wouth, Tex., Nov. 18.—Quite a num-
ber of the friends of Judge Clark leave here
to-night for Waco, where the state executive
committee meets to-morrow. There has boen
considerable discussion as to what tho result
o! the coining conference would be, so far as
its effect upoti the perpetuation of the
Clark organization might be, and thsre
seems to be but one opinion among the fol-
lowers of the Little Giant, and that is a be-
lief in the principles upon which he made the
recent canvas. This position is strengthened
so far as Fort Worth C lark people are con-
cerned by a demand that tho organization bo
maintained until these principles are trium-
phant.

SENOK MIJARES.
Arrival at New York or the Ex-Governor
of Caracas, With a History.
Qvauantixe, S. I., Nov. 18.—[Special.]—
The Rod I) steamship Philadelphia dropped
anchor off Quarantine at :i.:i0 o'clock last
night. Among the passou^Ts from Laguayra
was Senor Mijares, lately governor ef Caracas,
Venezuela. Senor Mijares lias got the Red 1)
steamship line into trouUe and incidentally
has caused the United States government
some uneasiness.
The story of the Philadelphia's eventful trip
is as follows: At Curaooa the Philadelphia
took on board Senor Mijares, who was in
exile. As MijareB had been governor of Car-
acas under the old government ho fled the
country to save himself from punishment and
landed ii. Curacoa.
Mijares embarked for New York in the
Philadelphia, which arrived at La^uayra on
November 10. It was the intention of Captain
Chambers to get his passengers and mails and
steam away for New York the same day, but
when the Venezuelan authorities learned thitt
Senor Mijares was on board they demanded
that he be delivered to <hem. Captain Cham-
bers replied that Mijares was a regular pas-
senger on board an Ajneriean ship and was
entitled to the protection of the American
flag. The register of file Philadelphia had
been deposited in the custom house as re-
quired by the laws of Venezuela. When
Captain Chambers refuiied to deiiver up Mi-
jares the authorities gnve notice that they
would keep the ship's register and thus pre-
vent her from sailing.
P. C. Hanna, the American consul at La-
guayrn, declared that if the '.'ustoinhouse re-
fused to give up the register lie would dis-
patch the vessel with a cfensuiar certificate.
The argument of the Venezuelan govern-
ment was that Mijares was not merely a polit-
ical refugee who had the right to the protec-
tion of any flag that would harbor him, but
that while governor of Caracas ho had been
guilty of stealing horses belonging to privata
individuals. This charge was looked upon as
a subterfuge to get possession of Mijares. As
a last rosort the matter was laid before
William L. Scruggs, American minister to
Venezuela. Mr. Scruggs commended the
course takon by Consul Hanna, and refused
to interfere. Then the authorities gave notice
that they had trained the guns of Fort Vigia
on the American steamship, anil that they
would open lire the moment that she showed
any indications of leaving the harbor. The
controversy had taken up the entire day, aud
it was not until November 11 that tlio Phila-
delphia sailed, from La Gunyru for New York.
FOR KILLING CAPT. VEAL.
THE 80UTHEM i'JJESS.
A Statement Issued by Chairman Ochs of
the Chattanooga Times.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 18.—The follow-
ing statement from AdolphS. ()chs, proprietor
of the Chattanooga Times, explai ns itself:
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 18.—A publica-
tion in the New York Timea that the proprie-
tor of the Chattanooga Times id disgruntled
and likely to withdraw from tho Southern as-
sociated press is without he slightest founda-
tion. I ha*«* for the past }>u persistently
declined to recoive the reports of the New
York associated press, though tendered mo
every day. Tho Southern associated press
has no member who is more loyal than
myself. There was every effort made to
create a mutinous spirit in the Southern
associated press, but it failed of its purpose.
The Southern associated press has iu its
membership every daily newspaper in North
and South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, East
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana that heretofore received too New York
associated press news, paying therefor $15,000
per annum.
The Southern associated press has, by con-
tract control in the statoB inentioued of all
news of the United Press and Western asso-
ciated press, and through these two organiza-
tions two principal foreign news agencies.
Tho proprietors and publishers of southern
daily newspapers had every opportunity to
continue their relation with the Now York as-
sociated press and on terms they could them-
selves dictate, and they chose to decline all
overturch. It is supposed they knew what
they were about, all being successful business
men. Tho members of the Southern asso-
ciated press bear no ill will to the New York
associated press, but they joined in a move-
ment that includes, with exceptions hardly
worth mentioning, every daily newspaper in
the United States from Scuttle to Bangor and
from tho iakes to tho gulf, to put a stop to
arrangements which enable sevon Now York
city dailies to control the nows of the country
and exact whatever pav they desired. The
door is open to the New Vorks asociated press
to come in on equal terms with tho most
favored.
The Southern associatod press hopos its
former Now York city associates may soon
realize tho folly of their efforts to stop a pro-
gressive movement that for a wonder was not
commenced years ago. Adolf S. Ochs,
Chairman Executive Committee Southern
Associated Press.
THE AE0HBI8H0PS.
Report Regarding Catholic Da; and Bun-
day Schools—Temper,its Policy.
New l'ons, Nov. 18.—Tho conference of
archbishops of the United States, held here in
daily session at the nrchicpiscopal residence
of Archbishop Corrigau since Wednesday
last, concluded to-night. In tho matter re-
lating to parochial schools the follow.ng ro-
port made indicates a cum prom iso upon the
question:
"It Is resolved to promote tho erection of
Catholic schools, so that ilure inay be accom-
modation in them for inoro, and if possible,
for ail our Catholic children, according to the
decrees of the third plenary council of Balti-
more and the decisions of the holy see.
"Second. A, to children at present not at-
tending Catholic schools we desire in addi-
tion that provision be made for them by Sun-
day schools, and also by instructions
on sumo other day or days of tho
week, nd by urging parents to teach
their children Christian uoctrino in their
homes. Theso Sunday and week day schools
should bo under the direct supervision of tiie
clergy, u.dod by intelligent lay members and
by members of other religious teaching or-
ders."
No other decision upon matters discussed
by tho conference will at present be com-
munioated to tho preen by tho prelatos.
Many Undertakers Fined.
Jaokson, Miss., Nov. 18.— Forty-seven in-
dictments were found in tho fedoral court
here to-day against umlertakors for violation
of the Sherman anti-trUHt law of lt£>l, but

faith, only imposed a fine of $1 and costs on a
plea of guilty, but required n pledge in 110
case to interfere in future with free competi-
tion.
The Trial of Curtis.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL OF DR. JONES
AT DALLAS,
Mrs, Jonas Teila the Story of tlio Affair
That Prompted Her Husband to
Use His Revolver.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 18.—The habeas corpus
hearing of Dr. R. II. Jones, charged with kill-
ing Captain W. G. Veal during the confederate
reunion in this city last month, was com-
menced to-day before Judge Charles Fred
Tucker. The courtroom was crowded
with spectators, and lawyers filled tho
space within the bar. The case
borrowed considerable interest from the fact
that at the time of the killing the deceased
was a brigadier general on the staff of General
Cabell, commander of the trans-Mississippi
denartmont of confederate veterans. The
prisoner looked the picture of good health.
J. 11. Van Horn, the first witness called for
the applicant, testified that he heti rd a pistol
go off and somebody say that Dr. Jones had
killed Captain Veal. Dr. Jones said to the
witness: "I killed Veal because he raped my
wife." Dr. Jones said I10 wanted to see Bob
Seay; be saw bitn and told him that he wanted
him to defend him. "All right," said Mr.
Seay, "don't talk to anybody."
Tho next witness called was Mrs. R. H.
Jones, wife of tho applicant. She is a deli-
cate looking little lady about 44 years old.
During her examination she said: "I first met
Veal at tho residence of Mrs. Coekrell, who
seemed to think a good deal of
him. Sho, invited me into the
parlor to meet him. Sho wanted
me to entertain him while she went out to at-
tend to the supper. He camo to spend tho
night. He was very pleasant, expressed a
great deal of sympathy for me, and said he
would liko to aid me in any way that ho
cculd. 1 thought he was one of my best
friends. ,1 had never heard anything
against him then; I knew ho was
a minister, and I thought a
good man. Ho often told mo of the orphans
he hod educated and cared for, aud the
widows he had befriended, and he said that I
must look upon him as a father; that he was
especially interested 111 me, I being the widow
of a brother Mason. Ho had never said
anything or done anything that made 1110 in
the least have any suspicion of any evil inten-
tion, and when I awoko one night and found
him at my bedside 1 was speechless almost
with fright. I raised myself as quickly as
possible and Baid, "Go away." I
was too frightened to know what
I was saying to him. 1 think I19
said; "Hush 1 tiiey will hear you,'' or some-
thing liko that. I made every effort to drivo
him away. Finally I threw my arms around
my sleeping baby and elung to the baby until
he tore mo away from the baby and accom-
plished his purpose. I was so paralyzed with
fright that f could not do anything to help
myself. 1 was entirely helpless. When I
revived n little and realized that I had been
outraged, aud by that man, I thought that my
sensos would leave me. My first impulse
was to throw myself into the river. I felt
that 1 could not live, but 1 knew that my
helpless child was here and could not do
it on that account. I thought I
would tell .Mrs. Coekrell, she being an old
friend of mine, but when I went down stairs
ho (Rev. Mr. Veal) was sitting in the room,
ready to hold morning prayers. After kneel-
ing he thanked God for having preserved the
household that night. I thought that nobody
would believe ine against such a man.
I was so crazed that 1 went up
stairs and wrote him asking him how he
could daro to offer such a prayer after what
he had done during the night. I just kept
my sorrow to myself, for if I told of it I
knew I would havo to prosecute the man, and
I have had a perfect horror all my life of a
court room. I know, too, that he
would not hesitate to tell falsehoods
about tne, although he was thought to be a
good man and was a minister. Soon after
this happened I went to Kentucky and Btaycd
with my aunt nnd relatives about a year.
When I camo back 1 met Dr. Jones in the
fall nnd I married him the next Bpring. I
felt then that I ought to tell him all
about it, and yet I dreaded to do it.
I had know nDr. Jones but a short time and I
thought lie would not believe ma and that if
he did ho might got killed, so I just kept it to
myself. 1 did not know anything about the
law. I did not know but I might prose-
cute him (Veai) whon my son would be
old enough to protect me. Whon
I first thought of prosecuting, if 1 had had a
fatheror a brother I would not have heBitatod
to have told about the outrage, but 1 was en-
tirely alone, and I felt that 1 would not go
into court against such a man."
"When did you tell Dr. Jones about this?"
"Lnst fall, just before the fair; I mean tho
fair of last year. I had often wanted to toll
him about it; I felt that 1 never could die
satisfied unless I did tell him; at tho same
tune I hated to have any trouble."
"What effect did tho disclosure havo on Mr.
.Tones?"
"He becamo almost frantic with surprise
and said that noboay on earth could hardly
tnnke hnn believe such a thing. He did not
think that anybody would daro do such a
thing and he said: 'I just feel that I must go
to Fort Worth and kill that man."
"1 begged hitn not to do it, saying it hail
boen so long that he had bettor not do it. We
talked awhile and said he would not do it:
that if the man would stay out of his way and
ho uevor suw liiui he would not bother
him; but ho said: 'I do not beliovo
I could control myself if I met him; it would
not be possible for me to meet that man nnd
let him live.' He w&s very much worriod over
it; was so restless at night that ho could not
sleep, and I could not help but re-
gret I had over told him. I might
have kept it to myself and have saved hi 111
that trouble. Since then up to tlio presont
time he has never hardly boen himself j he
has been so much troublod about it."

Arrested for Murder.
Trxarkana, Tex., Nov. 18.—Jack Dempsey,
employed for tho past fifteen months as a car
repai ror in the Iron Mountain yards, was ar-
rested yesterday and taken to Forest City,
Ark., Inst night, where ho is charged with tho
murder of a negro in 1880. Ho admitted his
identity after arrest.
Charles Viues, colored, who was to have
been hung at Boston to-day for the murder of
Denuty Sheriff Jeff Morgan last spring, was
respited by Governor Hogg for two weeks.
Tied to a Tree and Robbed.
Hot BTos, Tex., Nov, 18,—To-night about 8
o'clock W. 8. Sapp of Montgomery county, a
dealer in cattlo, was riding horseback two
miles from the city on the Beau champ Springs
road, going to Montgomory county, when he
was overtaken by two mounted men with six-
shooters aud made to dismount. His hands
were tied behind hitn aud he was marched into
the wood and tied with a rope to n tree,
searched and $-48 in cash taken Irom
him. He was a dealer iu cattle, had
made a sale to-day and started for home. The
111011 liad handkerchiefs tied over their eyes.
After they had secured the money they told
him if he gave the alarm by catling for help
they would kill hitn, but he took tiie chances,
believing that they had fled, and yelled lustily
for help. Finally three negroes, living not
far, heard him and responded. They released
him and escorted him to town, when the fact
was made known. Mr. Sapp intended to stay
all night with his brother-in-law, a few miles
from town.
NEITHER WATER NOR FOOD.
A Dallas County Man Goes Wine Days
Without Either and Lives.
Hi tchins, Tex., Nov. 18.—On tho night fol-
lowing the election Marion Horndon, a white
inmate of tho pauper department of tho
couuty farm, left without tho knowledge of
tho superintendent or any of the other in-
mates. The search for him began on tho
following morning, but no traco of
him could bo found, and the impression of
all was that he had sought some secluded spot
and there ended his life. This impression
grow when it was stated by those who claimed
to know that the father and one or two bro-
thers of tho unfortunate Marion had died by
their own hands and that ho had also on
former occasions attempted suicide.
He is a man of fine physical build and when
not in a gloomy mood, becauso of his unfor-
tunate condition, is pleasant and companion-
able. A few years ago he happened to an
accident, which made him a crippie for life—
a train running over him arid cutting off both
feet at tho instep. His weight was about 200
pounds, and, having to go on crutches,
his locomotion was difficult and pain-
ful. This added to the difficulty
of his oscapo, but day after day passod with-
out any clew to his whereabouts, and the
superintendent and friends of the missing
man had about given up all hopes of ever
finding him either dead or alive. But yester-
day morning as a colored trusty was driv-
ing a wagon by an old straw stack at
the back of tho farm, about a
mile from tho house, his attention was
attracted by what appeared to be a bundle of
clothing. Upon investigation it proved to be
ttie runaway, who was almost dead from his
long fast of nine days. A guard and some
prisoners wore called, and he was
tenderly placed in a wngon and
taken back to the house, where, with
careful nursing, he is gradually gaining
strength and consciousness. Ho is too weak
yet to articulato a word, and his own version
of the all'air has not yet been given. Whether
ho wandered around and just before his
strength failed him burrowed into the stack
of straw, or wont thoro direct on tho
night ho was tirst missed, is, of course,
yet a mystery and may remain bo forever.
Nine days without food is n dlttlcult foat, and
whon to this is added an abstinence from
water also it seems almost a miracle that a
human being should go through with it and
yet live. At this writing ho is doing remark-
ably well.
IN E0YS' 0L0THE3,

City Marshal.

SENATOR KENNA VERY ILL--S0I13
TALK FROM TANNER.
Sunderland Had to Go, But He May Tell
on Others—What People Do Not
Know About the Next Cabinet.
Washington, Nov. 18.—[Special.]—Sonator
Kenna, who has been sick for some time, was
much worse last night, and at one time it was
thought ho would dio. Jlo rallied slightly,
however, but ho is still dangerously sick.
Sunderland, one of the chief men of the
census bureau, who, a few duys ago was ar-
rested at Troy, N. Y., for conspiracy in at-
tempting to decoy 300 democrats away from
that town on olection day on an oxcursion,
and was afterward released, to-day handed in
his resignation on request of Secretary Noble.
Sunderland declares ho is innocent, but ho
had to go. It is thought here that if tho case
against him over comes to trial there will be
some racy developments, and if Sunderland
should make a clean breast of the whole
affair he would probably criminate very
prominent republicans.
Thoro is still talk about the men Cleveland
will put in the cabinet and tho prospect of a
special session. All the talk invariably comes
from those who know nothing about it. The
latest report is that Cleveland intends to call
a conference botween himself, Carlisle, Crisp,
Mills and several others, in ordorto ascortain
what he ought to do.
Corporal Tanner, in an interview to-day,
says that the soldiers of tho west knocked cut
President Harrison, and they did a good job
when they performed tho feat. He says tho
democrats daro not revise tho pension rolls.
He says, further, that the pension office has
been miserably managed, nnd that it hurt
rather than helped Harrison and the cam-
paign. In conclusion, ho intimates that if he
had boen let alone iu tho office things would
not havo happened as thoy did.
An Arctic Project.
Washington, Nov. 18.—[Special.] —Lieu-
tenant Peary, who commanded the Kito ex-
pedition into northern Greenland, is anxious
to embark on another expedition, tins time
with tho purpose of reaching that ignis fatuus
of the arctic region, the north pole. Ho has
already made application for a leave of ab-
sence for throe years and his applici tion has
been sanctioned by the bureau of yards and
docks, to which he is amenable. But from
present indications if Lieutenant Peaty goes
on tlio projected expedition he will have to go
as plain Mr. Peary, and will havo to ri'liuquish
his commission iu tho navy as a civil engi-
neer.
Commodore Farquhar, chief of the '.uir-'iu
of yard and docks, m his annual report, h.i
called attention to tho presrting need >t •.»
navy for an additional number of civil c *
neers to keep pace with increasing const r«.
tion of dry docks, launching ways, mn .
shops and other naval plants, and in this v.
of tho case Secretary Tracy does not fee w n
ranted in allowing one of the senior engtueciV
who has been absent uuder leave, with pay,
for two years, to absent himself for threo
more yoars at the public expense.

Washington, Nov. 18.—[Special.]—Tho fol-
lowing pensions havo been granted to Texans:
