BAILEY & CAMPBELL,
Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 8.—In conse
quent of tho killing of J. It. Hill, of
New Scrsoy, by a United States soldier
2n the day of tho ojiening of tho Chero
kee strip, and because of other outrages
cluirged to the tr.tops, Colonel E. M.
Hyde, Hjfecial agent of tho war dejiart-
inont, has arrived hero from Washing
ton to investigate. IJo ltegan to take
testimony at once, and most of it is very
damaging to the accused.
The Rev. J. G. Sefton testified to row
dyism on the part of tho soldiers, and
said that one of them, while drnnk, ar
rested him in the city and was taking
him to camp under cover of a revolver,
when, by strategy, he escaped.
William Brierly saw the shooting of
Hill. Ho ran from tho state lino west of
Chiloceo, ami so did Hill. The crowd
started on tho run because of the firing
if two shots by the soldiers. These shots
vere supjH>sod to bo tho signul. Hill
vas among the first.
The Rev. D. I). Belong was at the
southwest corner of Chilm-co. There
were thousands ahead of Hill when he
shot. He also testified to drunken
conduct on the part of tho soldiers when
in tho city.
G. W. Vaughan said ho had bribed
the soldiers at the booth in or^br to get
registered without delay. He was ap
proached by a man when he was at the
roar end of the lino and told that he
amid get liimself registered for $1.50.
He wont with the man and gave him $1.
as told that when ho sqw a soldier
raise a stick he mast go to the liooth and
givo him half a dollar, He did it, and
passed in. In tho tent he mot another
soldier, who told him to go-on. He
slipp'd a half dollar to him, but the sol
dier wanted more, and ho slipp'd another
half to him and was registered. Will
iam Kilpatrick told him he had done the
thing, os had also a man namod
Sellars.
Harry Long, of Eldorado, was camp
ed with others at tho government spring
the opening night, when a drunken
soldier came up, pulled his gun on them
and threatened to shoot, called thorn vile
names and demanded money for hay.
ne gave the soldier 50 cents in payment
for the hay. He also told of the soldiers
shooting E. N. Smith’s horso.

8t. Louis, (Jet. 3.—A special to the
Republic from New York saj's:
Air. James J. Viw Alen must bo cred
ited with at least one good quality. He
b> not faint-hearted. On the contrary,
tho opposition to his uppnntmcnt m am*
bosaudi »r to Home seems to have devel
oped in him fiomo of the courage dis
played by his father on the field in tho
late war. Mr. Van Alen boa cntisod it
to be known that he is in the field for
tho Roman mission to stny, and that he
has no intention of asking the president
to withdraw his nomination.
He has arranged to cioee his cottage at
Newport in a few weeks, and orders
have been given by him to ship tho best
of hi* collection of bric-a-brac, tapestries,
sculptural and art works to Route. Fur
thermore, Mr. Van Alen has practically
appointed his secretaries of legation.
Tho second secretary, according to
Ward McAllister, is to be Augustus Jav,
a lineal descendant of* John Jay. Mr.
Jay has been connected with tho United
States legation at Paris for the past
eight years, but was recently retired.
He is a well known society lender, and
with his wife—a charming and very
popular lady—lias spent the summer at
Newport.

The Philadelphia Press Charges
Tammany with Scheming.
PHILADELPHIA MUST 8TIR UP,
Or New York Will Oet the Mint With
All of the Fatranege Thnt Inatt*
tut let, Carrie* With It.
Whet the Pr*M Key*.
PHILAOCLFUU, Oct. 8.—Tho Press
rays:
“The statement baa been made upon
reliable authority that unless Philadel
phia tli*!**/'* of a site for a new mint to
the government within tho two years
prescribed by tho bill making the appro
priation of $*60,000 for a site tn this
city the mint will go to New York. As
a matter of fact, it is stated that the
leaders of Tamumny Hall and the Tam
many congreesmen are now scheming to
get the mint. It is asserted that they
using thoir influence at Washington
to prevent the purchaao of a site in Phil
adelphia within tho vwo years from the
dute of the passage of the appropria
tion.
“The argument they are using against
Philadelphia is that there, is hardly any
bullion tiougbt here. They claim that
there is not $100,000 worth of bullion
lionght in Philadelphia in a day. while
New York purchases thousands of dol
lars worth of bulliou. They further
claim that it coats the government $140,-
000 a year in express charges for the
shipment of gold and silver from New
York to the Philadelphia mint, and back
to New York again. Hating put birth
these claims, they say. that as ail the
bullion is handled in New York, that is
the proper place for the mint.
“These claims, it is said, hare all lieen
made to Secretary Carlisle. But the
Tammany people have stopped at this.
It is asserted that they have ajijieared
and offered a site for a new miut to the
government free. Tho location of the
site is nut definitely known, but it is
either on Staten Island or Long Island.
Upon this site it is Tammany s idea to
erect a mint building to oust fi.ooo.ooo.
The leader* calculate that an enlarged
mint would give them at least 1,500
places for many New York Democrats.
“The gentleman who is authority for
these statements says that unless Phila
delphia's representatives are alive to the
city’s interests, and get the new mint
site at Broad and Cherry streets into the
possession of the government within a
few months, the mint will be as good as
lost hi Philadelphia.
“Tammany's representatives are work
ing for delay. It is their plan to pre
vent. if ixMsible, any contract for • site
in Philadelphia.
'While it is not charged that Secre
tory Carlisle is playing loose with Phila
delphia, it is said that he is cognisant of
Tammany's scheme. It deiiemls largely
ujion the energy displayed by the Phila
delphians who are interested in koeping
the mint In this city, whether or not
Tammany succeeds in capturing it.
“If the condemnation proceeding* aro
'pushed and the Broad and Cherry streets
site is offered to tho government clear of
aii encumbrances, aud at a satisfactory
price before the end of this year, it is
believed that Tammany will be frus
trated and that the mint will remain in
Philadelphia.

Chattanooga, Oct. 0.—The Trades-
an, in its review of the industrial sit
uation in the sonth for the week ending
October 3,1803, reports a slow and steady
development of new industries and »ji
increased number of enlargements of

rospects there is no material change in
tho condition of financial, industrial and
business affairs.
Cotton still continues in light snpply,

New Oui.ea.vs, Oct. 8.—A terrific
storm struck New Orleans late Bunday
night, coming from the northeast, and
raged hero nil night and part of Monday,
swooping to tho south from here along
Jhe line of tho Mississippi river, through
the parish of Plaqueuiine on to tbo gulf.
Tho storm was one of the worst which
ever visited thin part of the country,
and, as far as can be learned, 34 or more
persons were killed, and probably three
times as many wounded—some fatally.
The wind had reached a velocity of 48
miles an hour at 8 o'clock Bunday night,
when the Hucmonctor of the weather
bureau was destroyed, and it constantly
increased in force until 3 a. in., when
its velocity was estimated at GO miles an
hour.
The crash of sheds and building*
blown down, tree* torn up and houses
unroofod, caused intense alarm, and
most of the iMipnhition of the city re
mained tin all night, expecting their
house* to bo blown down.
Among tho building destroyed waa
the Saraporu street market, which
crushed several building* in its fall.
The Bordette street mission church, the
cotton yards, shod* of the Northeastern
railroad, Coleman's boiler shop, the
Pythian hotel and a number of other
buildings were uuroofed.
The revetment levee on Lake Ponchar-
train, wliicli protects New Orleans from
overflow on tho rear, was washed away,
and water is sweeping over it 13 feet or
more.
Many of the yacht* there were sunken
or injured. The tracks of the Louisville
and Nashville railway were badly washed
for 15 miles, and it will bo several day*
before it can run train*.
Tha Mortality W*. Fear Cal.
Three deaths and one jierson wounded
severely, if not fatally, is tho mortality
record in New Orleans. Below the dty
it is far worse, e*i>ecially »♦ Plaque-
mine.
Here the wind reached a velocity of
100 to 133 miles an hour, sweeping every
thing before it. The pariah seat of jus
tice, Pointe a la Hache, a town of 9,000
people, was the wont sufferer. In the
town not a singlo house escaped injury.
The courthouse and the Catholic church,
the principal buildings in the town, and
some twenty other buildings were de
stroyed. anil the situation is so threaten
ing that the greater part of the people,
fearing destruction in their lmiliUmn,
camped out iu tho street all night in the
heavy rain.
The nif was filled with debris, and the
wind waa blowing so fiercely that ninny
of them had to anchor tliemaclve* against
trees to prevent being blown away.
Four Grown Prraona
are known to hare been killed in Points
a la Hache, and several children—how
many is not exactly known.
Among the killed were Mr*. Leon La
Franche, wife of one of the leadiug mer
chant* of the town, and Mr*. E. Levan-
ders, wife of a well known lawyer.
It ia probable that the mortality will
be greatly increased when news is re
ceived from the far-away aettioimmls on
the gulf coast below Point a la Hack, in
in tho range country of Louisiana.
The Grant* Crop Destroyed.
The orange crop waa ripo upon the
trees and about to be harvested. It waa
completely destroyed in the storm, with
a loss of $8-50,000 on this one item. The
crop on tho orange farms of liradish
Johnson, the ‘largest in the south, hail
been sold to a fruit dealer iu New Or
leans, Mr. Otcri, for $05,000. It U said
that there, is not an orange left on the
trees, and It is the same all the way
down the coast.

Mobiuc, Oct. 3/—The storm which lias
just visited this city left it n perfect
wreck. At this timo the damage can
only be conjectured, but it Is safe to ea>

Bo far only two di-atha are reported,

Mr. Crain's Heoolutlan, Favorably Report*

Washington, Oct. 3.—A rumpus is
imminent the house na the result of
the favorable report by tho foreign af
faire committee upon the Crain resolu
tion calling for a complete exposition of
tho consular appointments made during
the present administration. Tho bur
den of Mr. Crain's oomplaint—and it ia
echod by many other Imnjocratic con
gressmen—ia that Jcsiah Quincy neglect
ed the reliable Democratic states of the
south and went and divided consular ap
pointments about equally between Mas
sachusetts aud the doubtful states of tha
west. Massachusetts, Mr. Crain, de
clares, has had the first pick of every
thing, while Texas has almost had noth
ing. Mr. Crain's own district, in par
ticular. has lieen neglected. Jie says, and
Alalutma, Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Mis-
aonri have fared no better than Texas.
The foreign affaire committee reported
back the resolution with a favorable
recuintnendatiou, lwcauso had it been
pigeon-holed it coaid, under the rules,
have been called up after six day* and
considered in tho open house as a privi
leged question.
In the debato that will undoubtedly

for his Maasachnsetts friends. At least
fifty Democratic representatives are be
hind tide movement, and most of them
are expected to contribute to the debate.
It is opeuly charged that Mr. Quincv, in
Audition to giving the lion's share or the
state department patronage to Massa
chusetts, has secured At least 00 places
in the other departments for hia friends.
