Montgomery, of Burns. Mr. J. W. Simpson, being called on, de livcrod a brief but stirring speech upon the importance of complete organization, the duty of the respective clubs, and the great necessity of individual effort.

He reviewed the history of the national Republican party, aud dwelt upon the grand accom plishmeuts of the party in the past, and showed bow futilo were the efforts of its enemies to convince the people that iU day was past, and that it had no longer a national aim to achieve. He then gave way to FMCiHDENT JOHN L. AtKIl, who reviewed the history of the Republican party, and outlined the policy in the coming campaign. He aiso roviowed to some extent the Cleveland administration, which he said is characterized by ignorance and incom potency and then added: Tho Democratic party wss entirely unfit and utterly unab.e to successfully cone with a tangle problem of importance. The ariff ques tion, tlie sliver issue, tno Jienring sea cmt)rog ho, the cvimoaii hiatus, every grave question, whatever rirpurtruent anting, were ot neceity IMt for solution to the incoming Uepubiicau administration.

The Cleveland administration blotted the nsuzesof American history with the difsrracofu pan-elect ric scandal; the monstrous, yes, the unholy warnpon tne riKUts 01 om sonnors ana sailors nnrf their natural dependents: the tem porary nullitication of the civil service; and the villianous and dastardly attempt to crush American industries; to lower tho earnings of the American waffe-earners to deprive thou sands of American citizens the right to live, uy means 01 tho tree trade tarin.

For the oxecutive work, so well done, let us ascribe honor where honor is doe, to the president of the I'nited fctutes, benjamin linnison. (Applause.

The administration of Mr. Cleveland presented a marked contrast to that of 'resident Harrison and 111 no way more strikiiiiflv hau by thetvran meal use of the veto power.

28. Special. Bishop Mcliulrick, in a public letter, says the Fond du Lao Indians aro stifteriug. Ho closes the letter as follows: "Indians there have not received their animal they sutler both for fmul and clothing; they have tieforo this sutlered gravo rong-i by hbery of timber ou their reservation and no small part of their grievance is that their complaints are set aside as unt ruthful." This is followed by a letter from Rov. J.

Mevel, resident at Cioquot, in which he says, writing Jan. 22: "This morning I took a cutter in a livery stable and went to the Indian reservation aud found but half ihe Indians aro in need of f-sxl and clothing. 1 took the names of 28 of them and gave orders to furnish them food. Hour, pork and sugar. Th'-ro will bo other families coniinq i nie for assistance also.

So next week 1 go ajaia to visit the Indian rei-crvation of St. bonis and then alter I stiall have seen by myself the greatness of the poverty of each family, 1 will buy some more food and also boiiio clothing, for the old Indians who are cerlamly amongst the most destitute, many of them ruling abandoned by their children. Several squaws with many small children wlne-e fathers are not known or havo left them aro too in great iieetl." Julius Cudotto, a Clouquot half-breed writes: The last money paid by the government to Indians hero was nearly one and one-half years ago. Since that time they havo not only lieen left to shift themselves, but havo boon sub-jecteil to all the indignities that crafty government officials could invent. Whin has not been ieiri bv the government othcials aiut loggers has been cmitiseatoil by tho government and now lies tu the national treasury awaiting h-irislatton, which may require jears to mature.

1 he Indians are in destituto circumstances and must havo heip from the cliarituhlo community or tho government soon. Men sent from abroad to look into tho facts here are too easily minted by false statements. They never go to tho distressed districts and never visit the reservation, but take statements of thoso who are adversely interested. THAT OPTION BILL. The Duluth Board of Trade It to a Man.

Ferninst Text of Memorial Adopted Which Is to Be Sent to Congress as a Protest. Dci-rrH, Jan. 28. Spocial. Last Tuesday at a meeting of the directors of the Board of Trade, a committee was appointed to draft a set of "strong resolutions to send as a memorial of the Duluth Board of Trade to congress in protest of the pas-sago of the Washburn option bill.

The committee reported this morning the following, which were unanimously adopted: The abolition of dealing in futures of farm products would rnsult in uarrow markets cou-thied to few traders. Asa rule, broad and general markets, while narrow ing the range of fluctuations, tend to a higher average level of price of ail product. Producers are compelled to seek nurcliasers. Any cause tending to lesson the number of buyers will have a tendency to consolidate them and result in a lower rang of prices, allowing the buvers a wider margin of proiit, especially where they must provide for possible dec ines which cannot be guarded by saies of futures. As a rule speculative traders buy futures and not cash product, and these purchases constitute tho main support to the market at all tin.es.

The prosperity of members of all commeicial bodies and of the hole country is involved in the prosperity of the producer. and we believe that dealing ill futures causes a higlier range of prices with far higher uet resii ts to the fanning community. We believe that the abolition of the trading of futures would result in much injury to all commercial interests and a financial panic, while trade might be adapting itself tu new conditions; that the entire purchasing interest would be placed in the power of comparatively few millers aud exrter who would hx prices to ahow them a sine margin no matter how great a decline might occur. We also believe the dealing in futures would only be transferred from the I nited States to foreign countries. Those countries -ing con-snruois aro naturally interested lower prices.

As the price of ut tires sets a aiue on cash prod ucts the foreigners wou.a ni a mucii lower range of prices for all farm products. Basing our upon the foregoing reasons wo respectfully ask United States senate and house of representatives to defeat any bill having in view Uie suppression of dealing in futun-s of farm products. The secretary of the board is hereby re-iucsted to trauruit to our representatives in c.uigress acopy of Uie foregoing and to ask their assistance iu preventing 'ho passage of tho Washburn bill or auy other measure having a like object ia view.

Litchfield, Jan. 28. Special. Adam Bergesson, the Swedish murderer of his sweetheart, who was captured after a hunt, conducted by the population of an entire county, will be hung here tomorrow at 9 a. m.

Ber gesson was the Almy of Connecticut. Ho loved and became engaged to Mary Anderson in Sweden. He came to America first and sent her money to fullow. When she arrived she went to live in New Milford and became so infatuated with a fellow countryman there that she broke the engagement with Bergesson. This preyed on his mind so that he finally decided on murder.

On Uie morning of Aug. 1, l.K), he gained entra nee to her bedroom while she slept, and sitting on the edge of the bed woke her up. He asked her if sho intended keeping her promise, and when she said "No," he grasped her by Uie hair and with a big knife cut her throat from ear to ear. He then with the knife horribly mutilated Uie lower part of her body. The girl's employer hearing her struggle ran to her room, just in time to see Bergesson leap from Uie window.

The hue and cry was raised and the farmers turned out for miles around. The assassin was found tno days later, hiding in a swamp. Ho barely escaped lynching. He has made several unsuccessful attempts at suicide since convicted. MILWAUKEE EARNINGS.

What England Thinks. New Yobk, Jan. 2S. Murat Ualstend returned this morning: from Europe in Uie Majestic after a two months' visit abroad. Speaking of the Chilian imbroglio, Mr.

Hal-stead said: I was iu London for some weeks and during that time saw and talk-d with parli-amentarins and others on the Chilian question. They have been told that it Is all Ivan's fault and tliey do not believe anitliing else. They talk about Kuan being an Irishman with on. sense enough to be a ire.1 trader. I replied to this that I did not see that K.uraa had dime any harm in the Chilian all.

Strange Talk by Miss Mitchell, Memphis Murderess. the She Says She Killed Miss Ward cause That Young Lady Would Not Marry Her.

Be- Mkmfiiib, Jan. 2S. Alice Mitchell and Lillio Johnson spent last together in their room at Uie jail. The father of Lillie also remained in the office of the jail. He is fearful that Alice will do his daughter sumo bodily harm, and this fear is shared by Uie most of his family.

All efforts to interview Miss Mitchell have failed, but this morning roportor tearnod from good authority what passed between her and her counsel. On other subjects she soemed to be perfectly rational and did not realize the enormity of the deed. "I killed Freda," said Bhe, "because I loved her, and she refusad to marry me. I asked her to marry me three times, and at last she consented. We were going to marry and go to St.

Louis." ''What did you intend to do in St. Louis?" asked one of her attorneys. "Oh, I don't know. But when Freda promised to marry me, I was so happy. I sent her an engagement ring and sho wore it a time, but whoa it was returned to mo I was miserable.

I could not bear to te separated from her and I resolved to kill her. I would rather sho wero dead than away from The girl then asked ono of the lawyers where Freda was. She was told that Uie body was at Steinloy Hinton's. "Oh, Mamma," she said, "if I could only see her. Please lot me go to see her.

If 1 could only lie down by her side I would be so happy. When Uie permission was refused she broke into a torrent of te trs, not for having killed Freda, but lor the separation. The letters Uiat she wrote to Freda sro full of Uie most endearing terms, and go to show that the girl eagerly looked forward to the time when she could make Freda her wife. Strange to say, from what can bo learned Freda herself seemed to be m'atuated with Alice and willingly assented to Uie proposed marriage. The time had been fixed and Uie attair was to have been in Uie nature of an elopement, aha does not foci the confinement in jail, but regard it as a school girl would a slight punishment On other subjects sho tails rationally, as she docs on the killing but for the peculiar views sho entertains of tho proved marriage.

Tho grand jury will investigate the case tomorrow. At President Harrison's matum. Ulti- EUT THEY TAKE THEIR MEDI CINE LIKE MEN. A Chilian O.T5eial Says Blaine Propcsj Arbitration a Month Ago as a Mc'hod of Settlement of the Baltimore Incident-Minister Moutt Telegraphed to Chili to Stand Firm, as Things Were 1'avorable at Washington Members of Congress Are Well Pleased at the Way Chili Acknowledges Her Error. Samttaoo, Jan.

28., via Galveston. Spe cial dispatch to the Associated Pre-. There is a much quieter feeling ro than was evident yesterday and during Uie past few days. The Chilian otliciai, however, continue to express surprise at Uie tiltims-tum forwarded from 1 'resident Harrison. The Associated Pre- correspondent in this city today ha 1 an interview witn one of the most prominent ofilcials of the Chilian reign In Uie course of the inter- v.ow tt was shown plainly that Uie foreign ofUce would not say in a direct manner that Minister Montt had been deceived or hal been mislead by any cote or word received by him from Uid Aunri can secretary of state; but it was evident that Uia oilicuil thought so.

lie said that Mr. li.a.ue hai all e.ong given Moott to understand that a settlement of Uie serious controverty between the to republics was beuig reached and that Mr. Blaine month ago had proposed a submis sion to arbitration of Uie outrageous assau.t upon Uie men from the United Mates steamer Baltimore, and had aiso agreed to accept Sonor Monti' term for the withdrawal of Uie Matta telegram. It 1 asserted here Uiat Minister Egai in formed the Chilian government a week that the questions at issue were being settled. Mr.

Lvan has declared Uiat he said nothing oi the k.nd. On the night of the reception of the ultimatum from the president of Uie L'nited -tatos a cablegram was received hero lrotn Montt, advising the Chilian goernment to stand firm, as ail was favorable in Washington. here is intense anxiety here as to the outcome of Uie situation. Every one, from Uie highest in olheial station to the 1110-t humble citizen, wishes to know if America accepts the terms of Chili's reply to President Harrison's ultimatum. A FEELING Oi" RELIEF.

It Pervades Congress and Everybody Is Happy. Washington, D. Jan. 2. There was a decided feeling of relief manifested at the Capitol today.

It was really not necessary that senators and representatives should say, as all who wore seen did, that the news that thecontroversyiver the Chilian trouble bad terminated peacefully and with credit to the Unite! States, was a source of gratification to them. That fact was evident to Uie eye in Uie manner of the men and the ease with which the business in each oianch of congress dropped naturally into its usual routine. The conversation among members of Uie house of representatives when it turned to the subject which for the past week had been uppermost in their thoughts related, not as formerly to the prosiiect of strife, but the way in which the people would view Uie message of the president on Monday coming so shortly before the announcement of the concession of Chili of ail Uiat the Unite! States could ask. The Democrats were nearly of one mind as to this question, but Uie stories they hold having more or less relevancy to the situation, were more interesting than the utterance! designed for the public. The Republicans who expressed opinions to be quoted gener ally thought Uiat the action of the president bad brought about the satisfactory response received and commended his course.

What was said, with the knowlsdge that it might be published, was generally in Uie same strain and expressive of tho gratification felt nt Uie outcome. The Associated I'ress cablegram from Santiago and the subse quent confirmation of it by the Associated Press dispatch from Washington, published yesterday morning, had prepared public men in a great measure for the announce ment contained in the president's message today, but nevertheless it was apparent to the spectators in Uie galleries that the presi dent's expressions of satisfaction with the present condition of the matter and his statement Uiat there is now no need of a grant of special powers from congress wero welcome intelligence to Uie senate and Uie house. Senators who were seen after the reading of the papers had no special comment to make other than that they regarded Uie controversy as practicai.i.t PErrxED, and that they thought the answer of Chili had removed the irritation between the two governments. They said that the answer was very straightforward and candid, and that Uiere was nothing more that the United States could demand. It was regarded as a complete and unequivocal response.

The belief in the senate heretofore has not been that Uie probabilities of wnr were very great. Several Democratic senators criticised the action of Uie president in sending his message to congress- before Chili's reply had been received. The statement in the presi-dent's message that no special powers from congress arc needed is, of course, interpreted to mean that nothing remains to bo done for the present by congress, and is also taken to indicate a probability of arbitrat ion, and that Chill's otter to settle the mitter in our own supreme court will not be availed of. In this event, no action is needed by congress with reference to determining the details of the matter of settlement of the matter of reparation or indemnity the work of bringing the controversy through to a final adjustment being one with which the diplomatic service is fully competent, under the law and the constitution, to deal. Senator Sherman, chairman of the foreign relations committee, said tli's afternoon Uiat no further action on the subject will betaken by Uie committee for Uie present at least if at all.

He considered the trouble us virtually settled. It was openly admitted at the navy department today that there is no longer res-son for concealment that this government was fuliy prepared to enforce its demands against Chill in case they had not been secured by Uie more pacific method of negotiation through diplomatic channels. The entire available naval force has been concentrated so as to be able to make an almost concerted attack on Chilian ports. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. How It Is Received by Both Houses of Congress.

Washington, D. Jan. 23. At 12:10 Mr. Pruden, one of the president's secretaries, appeared at the bar of the senate and del.vcred a message from the president, transmitting the additional correspondence in Uie Chilian matter.

The vice president opened Uie correspondence, and immediately laid before Uie senate. It was read by Mr. Johnson, the chief clerk. Uie senators on both sides of Uie chamber paying the closest attention to it, and indicating in various ways Uieir thorough satisfaction at its contents, particularly nt the sentence in which the president espressos the opto- The Stuffed Prophet Has De. cided Not to Write That Little Letter, For the Clouded Political Skies Arsj Clearing and His Spirits Are Grover's Minnesota Ar Whooping It Up With a Right Royal Will, While for Innocent Amusement They Jump on the Frame ot David B.

It will make it apparent to the country that Hill is a clever schemer and wire-pulling politician rather than a straight-forward, broad, minded man, fit to receive the support of Democrats for the prosidoncy." Cleveland's friends in Washington aro jubilant, and say that he will bo nominated without Uie New lurk delegation. SACHEM KELLY. As Usual He Has Little Information to Oitre Out.

P. II. Kelly returned this morning from the Ea-t and very frankly admitted that tha combine located the national convention in Chicago. "When we got there," said he, "they wero very frank with us, and told us they wanted the convention held in Chicago." "Was the bucccss of this plan a Hill victory?" "No, Uiat had nothing to do with it. It was simply a question of expediency." "Will Hill carry the New York delegation?" "Ho will." "And will he be nominated?" "That's a question I can't answer.

Bye Elections Which Indicate a Sentiment for a Liberal Trade Policy. Montkeal, Jan. 28. Special. Three bye-elections to the dominion house of commons took placo today, all in Ontario constituencies.

Ono of the constituencies, Kingston, is in Eastern Ontario, and two, Holton and Lincoln, areiu Western Ontario. Two of them, Kingston and Lincoln, hava with rare exceptions elected Conservatives, while Holton has been uncertain of Into years, eloct ing now a Liberal and now a Conservative by small majorities. Kingston was rendered vacant by the death of Sir John MacDonald. At the last eleo-tion Sir John MacDonald had t'vi majority, which the Liberals succeeded in reducing to Ot) today. This is undoubtedly a great moral victory for unrestricted reciprocity.

The successful candidate, Mr. Metcalfe, has for some years been the Conservative representative in thejocat legislature. In Ilaiton the c'onservntiva was returned by an increased majority, while Lincoln has elected the Liberal candidate, Mr. Gibson, who carried Uie county at the last election. He has increased his majority three-fold, which shows that there is a strong sentiment abroad in favor of Uie Liberal trade policy.
