Minn., July 19. —The action of the government in ma.ssing troops at Butte and Helena would indicate that the crisis is vet to come in Montana. At Butte everything is tied up.

The available force at Forst Assinaboine consists of two troops of cavalry, one company of Indians and four companies of infantry, numbering in all about 500 men. The bulk of these were dispatched under hurrying orders and will probably reach Butte during the day. In addition it is un derstood that several additional compa nies will be sent from Omaha. The trouble lies with the miners; who, it is said, have been quietly making prepa ration to join forces with the American railway union out there and repeat the scenes in Chicago. Unless precau tions arc taken much of the property owned by the Northern Pacific will be destroyed. STONE THROWERS ARRESTED. Two Men Caught lu the Act. aud Pulled b/ a Railroad Detective.

The convention was called to order at 12 o’clock in the superior court* room and 137 ordinaries were present. The meeting is one of great interest to the people of Georgia, as the ordi naries may devise a number of meas ures to better the execution of such laws as come under their jurisdiction. The first convention of ordinaries was held in this city July 12th an 13th last year. The session was a highly suc cessful and interesting one. Last year Judge H. W.

Among them was the question of how and in what mediums ordinaries’ advertise ments should be placed. The subject of fees also came in for a share of at tention. This year’s convention is more large ly attended and more successful in ev ery way than that of last year. Tlie object of these meetings is to bring the ordinaries of the various counties of the state into closer touch with each other, to promote a fraternal feeling between them and to perfect a better organization. WAS IT CROOiTeD ? rsuzdisni Charged With Taking Out la suraace on a Man Nearly Dead. Montreal, July 19. —Actions begun by A. Demurs against the Massachus etts benefit association of Boston, for $17,000, and by C. A. Chenevert for $3,- 000, are the forerunners of a most sen sational insurance case. Both claims are for policies held bj* the the late Mr. La Ferrierre, of Berthier, who had transferred them to the plaintiffs, creditors of his, before his death.

The firs, negro died instantly, but the second may re cover. One bullet went thro igh his side and another through the h< dy. The shooting occurred near ti e depot at East Point at 12:30 ocloclt a. m., and created an excitement, which was fanned into intensity when the story of the attempt to assassinate - arshal Ryan was told. The negroes were arrested as chicken thieves. He marched both men direct ly in front of him and made them keep their hands in front. When th depot was reached one of them wheeled with a shining revolver, and fired at Ryan’s heart, the pistol was in the insiue coat pocket, it seems. The bullet struck marshal Ic van in the chest, but instead of 1 -eping straight ahead, glaneed around tue ribs.

THEY FAIL TO AGREE The Tariff Conferees Report the Matter to Both Branches. i MR. WILSON SPEARS IN THE HOUSE. zuci Dfcbait Limited to Iwo Hours, use Hour on Fa eh Side—Bill May Agaic be iu Conference—Meeting of Committee ou Kale*. Washington, July 19.—The tariff conferees met again at 2 o'clock yester day. YYithin a very few minutes after wards, Senator Voorhees announced that it was apparent that the two houses were unable to agree, and it had been decided to report a general disagreement. The senate republicans stood up for tiie senate bill, as did the democrats, while the house held out for their bill; and it was formally decided that the disagreement should be re ported to their respective houses. Be fore this was done. Mr. YYilson, chair man of the committee on ways and means, stated, that if they could get together on coal, iron ore and sugar, he believed they could fix up an agree ment that would be satisfactory to both houses. No proposition looking to this end was made, and the action here indicated was taken. • The whole thing was over in a very few minutes. Mr. Wilson stated after the confer ence that he would make the report to the house this morning. During the informal discussion in the committee room he was asked by Senator Jones how long would the house probably keep the bill, whereupon Mr. Wilson replied that he thought the conferees would he instructed to Insist upon the house bill, and the conferees would be sent back within the hours. The same question was then put to Senator Jones, and he said that the action of the sen ate would depend upon the action of the house. If the house insisted upon heaping coals of fire upon the heads of the senate conferees and assailing them it would be very likely that the senate, when the bill came back, would in like manner debate the bill. It is believed, however, that the bill will again be in conference b3 r Saturday at the latest. Although the report shows a general disagreement in ail items, this is not technically correct, for the reason that agreement have been made on many items, but it was deemed best not to include them until a con clusion had been reached on the whole bill. Mr. Wilson says the report of the conferees will be verbal, and will sim ply state that the conference commit tee of the two houses has failed to reach an agreement. The committes on rule will probably meet today and report a special order emitting the time during which debate upon the report umj oomUnug Speaker Crisp could not how long the debate on the conference report would be permitted to continue in the house, but it is thought that it will be limited to two hours—one hour on each side Mr Wilson will occupy a part of ail time set apart for the democrats if he is physically able to speak, and Messrs. Reed and Burrows will proba bly be spokesmen for the republicans, INDUSTRIES FOR THE SOUTH. Mark Revival in All Lines of Trade—Thres New Plants to Operate.

PENCE TALKS OF “BUNCO.” Will Introduce Resolutions ('ailing Foi Information as to the Silver Coinage. Washington', July 19.—Representa tive Pence, populist of Colorado, has made public the substance of a resolu tion which he intends to introduce in the house at the earliest opportunity. It requests the secretary of the treasury to inform the house how many silver I dollars have been minted during 1694, : giving the data and amounts, how they ; have been issued and to whom; whether any of these dollars have been sold or issued to members of congress, or at their request and he is requested to re port to whom such dollars have been sold or issued, and when, as showed by the books of the director of the mint. , If the books of the director do not show this information then the facts are to i he stated from the knowledge and recol lection of the director and his employes. States His Reason!!. The reason for his resolution is here given in his own words : “There is a big bungo game going on down south, and I want to see who is in it. Within the past few days, I have received in telligence from Alabama that Colonel Oates* supporters there are exhibiting silver dollars of the mintage of 1894. with a view to persuading the people of the state that the administration is fav orable to free silver, and that it is coin ing silver dollars. On Monday of this week, I called upon Mr. Preston, the director of the mint. I asked him how many silver dollars had been struck off this year. He replied that the number was 406, that these were proof pieces, and that they are struck off to prove the new dies, which are changed each year, and not for the purpose of circu lation. I asked Mr. Preston to whom these pieces had been sold. He replied that a number of persons had bought them, among them some senators and representatives. 1 asked permission to buy five and was told that I could have them.” Who Huy* the New Coins. “Now 1 ” Mr. Pence went on, “what i am trying to get at is the use which is being made of these silver dollars by the aforesaid senators and representa tives. If my advices from the south are correct, they are being used in Ala bama to assist Colonel Oates’ candidacy for the governorship. If certain news paper statements are to be believed, they are being used in Georgia and Arkansas in the interest of the demo cratic party also. If that is the case I am correct in describing such action as a bunco game, for it can be success fully practiced in the backwoods dis tricts where the people seldom if ever read a newspaper. It now remains to be seen if the administration is a party to these practices. Some people have intimated that it is. 1 have nothing to say about that. If we secure consid eration of the resolution, it may de velop surprising results.” Pence’* Charge Denied. MONTGOJfEBY, Ala., July 19. —The charge of Pence, of Colorado, as to the use of silver dollars coined In is&-t by Colonel Oates, is without foundation, Colonel Oates expressly declares in his speeches that silver dollars are not now being coined He states that only fractional silver is being turned out a£ the mints ON THE BRIGHTON TURF. ip m.Lt a Down Game for the Backer* of Favorites--The Winners. Brighton Beach Race Track, July 19.—The program here yesterday was fairly good. Things looked temptingly easy for the talent and they were out in full force in consequence. The first race went to the faithful, and, em boldened by their success, they surged into the ring and bet heavily on Figaro for the wanner of the second, but their surprise was great when Dutch Skater, 20 to 1, w r on, beating Stonenellie, on which similar odds had been placed, by a head. The best the favorite could do was to finish third. The backers of favorites were soon in line again, how ever, and Harry Reed in the third and Arab in the fifth replenished then pockets to some extent. Stonenellie w-as backed heavily in the fourth event, but the talent went w-rong again, for Lady Violet, 2 to 1, carried off the honors and raked in the largest purse of the day. STRONG DEMAND FOR SPOT. Liverpool New* Disappointing to the Bulls, Marketing of New Cotton. New York, July 19.— The Sun’s cot ton report says: The news from Liver pool, has certainly been disappointing to the bulls ; and so was a heavy ram fall in southern Texas, w-here it was much needed and the fact that Houston Texas received 10 bales of new cotton did not tend to strengthen prices. There was more or less long liquidation of August, but the sellers generally took later months, including December.

This gave Mr. Reed an opportunity to contrast the efficiency of the system of counting a quorum in vogue of the fifty-first congress with that recently adopted by the house. He insisted that the experience of mankind demonstrated that the former was the better. Speaker Crisp defended the present system, asserting its superiority over any that had gone before, and that, it eliminates the liability of intentional error. The house then proceeded to consider measures reported from the military committee, and senate bill to regulate enlistments in the array was passed. The Agriculture Hill.

The agriculture bill was sent to con ference, Mr. Hatch, foreman, democrat of Illinois, and Mr. Waugh, republican of Indiana, being the managers on the part of the house. Mr. Hatch promised to take the sense of the house before agreeing to the sen ate amendment appropriating 51,000,000 for the extermination of the Russian thistle.

The Indian appropriation bill was taken up. As it passed the house it appropriated $0,737,518; as reported to the senate from the committee on ap propriation it is increased by $2,596,868, making an aggregate of $9,327,386 —as against $7,854,240 for the fiscal year of 1894. It was taken up at 1 o’clock p. rn., and was considered until 6, when it went over without final action till today. It appropriates about nine and a half million dollars—one and a half millions more than the amount appro priated for the fiscal year 1894. The bill gave rise to very little discussion, that little being on the subject of the education of Indian children and of the disproportionately large share of the money which has gone in recent years to the Catholie church. No change was made in these provisions of the bill —one million dollars being ap propriated for the support of Indian day and industrial schools and for other educational purposes. All the committee amendments were disposed of, and the only obstacle to the final passage of the bill was the offering of independent amendments and the dis cussion to which they gave rise.
