Aug. 18, 1862, the Sioux Indians ofthe upper Minnesota river, in violationof their treaties, broke into open re-bellion, and within a few days there-after massacred about 1,000 citizens inthe southwestern part of the state, anddestroyed property of the value ofmillions of dollars. Many men, womenand children fled to Fort Ridgely, andwere under its protection during thesiege. The successful defense of theFort by its garrison, consisting of partsof Companies B and C, Fifth regimentMinnesota Volunteer infantry, the Ren-vllle Rangers and the citizens andrefugees, was very largely Instrument-al in saving other portions of Minne-sota from ravage and devastation, andgreatly contributed to the ultimate de-feat of the Indians and their expulsionfrom the state.

RACE WAR BEGIX.

Xegrroes Denied the Ri*ht to LaborIn Arkansas.

TEXARKANA. Ark., Aug.B.—The race warIn Polk county has broken out in earnest andas a result of the first battle three negroesare dead, eight wounded and many have beendriven out of the county. Several negroeshave passed through this place who wereforced to leave the country and they bringnews of a pretty bad condition of affairs. Thetrouble is between white and black laborersemployed on the grading work of the Kan-sas City, Plttsburg & Gulf railway nearHoratio, Ark. The whites are deternTmed thatthe negroes shall not work on the road andare being backed up by citizens who havearmed themselves for the purpose of runningthe negroes out. Thursday night, a lot ofwhites, composed of Italian, Swedes and Hun-garian laborers, together with a number ofnatives, made a raid on a camp ogcupied bynegro laborers and three of the latter werekilled outright, several wounded and a ffUm-ber fled in terror. The names of the killedare not known. Several of the leaders of theraid have been arrested, but it Is feared moretrouble will occur, as the contractors are de-termined to employ black labor and are pre-paring to import another gang. The railroadpeople are reticent and it is difficult to ot-tain details of the raid.

ATTACK ON THE GREAT WESTERN.

Truesdale Says the Road Has ShownBad Faith and Established a.

Dangerous Precedent.

CHICAGO, Aug. B.—The InterstateCommerce commission today finishedits labors in Chicago. The investiga-tion of the Western pool may be takenup on an enlarged scale later on, whichwill be determined at Washingtonwhen the documentary evidence calledfor has been received. The inquiry intothe reconsigning grain practice at theMissouri river may be continued atKansas City next week. At today'shearing the attorney for £he GreatWestern made Vice President Morton,of the Santa Fe, acknowledge that thethrough rate from Missouri riverpoints to New York, on export ship-ments, was \Vz cents lower on the Chi-cago haul than the balance rate toChicago. Mr. Morton also acknowl-edged that his road brought a ship-ment of grain from Kansas City toChicago at the low export rate, but thegrain went into an elevator, where itremained.

Alexander Nichol, of Stickney's lowaDevelopment company denied havingreceived any rebate for his firm. Nicholroasted the Joint Traffic association.Other witnesses at today's session wereC. L. Wellington, Wisconsin Central,

and W. H. Newman, vice president ofthe Chicago & Northwestern.

Referring to the hearing which hasbeen in progress during the week be-fore the Interstate Commerce commlsrslon, W. H. Truesdale, vice presidentand general manager of the Chicago,Rock Island & Pacific, says the evi-dence developed at this hearing is, Inmany respects, the most remarkableand unique that has been brought outby the commission during its exist-ence. "The transactions testified to byPresident Stickney showed," Mr.Truesdale said, "the grossest bad faithon the part of his road, and the moatutter disregard of agreements betweenthe officials of his line and those o'other Western railways that has comto my knowledge in my railway experience.

"The officials of the Western rail-ways, as well as the owners thereofwillbe greatly Interested to learn whatposition the Interstate Commerce com-mission, the courts and authorities ofthe state of Illinois will take with re-spect to the question of whether it islegal and within the chartered powersof a railway corporation to organizecompanies for the purpose of enablinga railway to carry on a grain busi-ness.

"Ifit shall be determined that a rail-way company can lawfully engage inmerchandising in this manner, and itis going to be necessary for the largetransportation companies of this coun-try, in order to secure for shipmentover their respective lines a share ofthose commodities which form the bulkof the tonnage of these lines, to or-ganize outside companies that shall buyand sell for the account of the railwaycompanies grain, flour, dressed meats^packing house products, coal, etc, acondition of affairs Is going to bespeedily brought about in this country,with respect to methods of transactingrailway and other business, the effectsof which can be readily imagined Ifnot very accurately foretold. Such acondition of affairs would sooner orlater so result, as would make all pre-vious discrimination in freight ratesappear insignificant indeed and openup opportunities for peculation, fraudand mismanagement in handling ofrailway interests of this country, suchas have never been afforded or takenadvantage of In the history of thiscountry."Ibelieve it would be to the interest

of the public at large, the investors Inrailway securities and in the interestof honest and fair dealing betweenman and man to put a stop to suchtransactions as well as to the otherIrregularities testified to at this hear-ing:."

CHICAGO, Aug. B.—The North Ger-man Lloyd and Hamburg Americansteamship companies have resolved tomake Galveston, Texas, one of theirports, but in so doing they have agreedwith the Western railroads not toticket immigrants for points ofLouisiana, and have asked the Western iroads to withdraw their immigrantagents from Europe, abolish their im-migrant clearing house at New Yorkand allow the steamship companies tohandle and divide this traffic in Europeand at New York. The Western roadsare agreeable to this proposition, pro-viding the steamship lines withdrawtheir immigrant agents from the ter-ritory west of Chicago.

LONDON, Aug. B.—Outside of thedefeat of the government in the houseof lords, when amendments were madeon Thursday to the Irish land bill, inspite of ministerial opposition, andthe possible consequences of this fur-ther demonstration of the inability ofthe administration to carry out itspaliamentary programme, Li HungChang has been the center of interestduring the past week. The vicinityof Lord Lonsdale's house on CarltanHouse terrace, temporarily the resi-dence of the Chinese envoy, is throngeddaily with people who are anxious tocatch a glimpse of the distinguishedtraveller and he is cheered by thecrowds outside the house every time heappears. The newspapers publish col-umns describing him with royal honors.

The plans for LiHung Chang's visitto the United States have been greatlycurtailed. He will hurry home inhaste and it is intimated this is dueto intrigues against him in China, Hewill arrive in New York, on Friday,Aug. 21, and willhold his first receptionon Saturday, the following day. OnSunday, Aug. 23, he will take an earlytrain for Philadelphia, which he willlunch and remain for a few hours.During the afternoon he will proceedto Washington where he will remaina week. He will then go direct to Van-couver, B. C, where he will embarkfor China. He much regrets that hecar.not stop at Chicago. InWashingtonhe expects to see all the secretaries,and have an audience with PresidentCleveland, when he will present his

\u25a0credentials.Itis learned that Sir Julian Paunce-

fote's visit to London is due to thedirect summons of the marquis ofSalisbury. The British ambassadorwas present ait a special meeting of thecabinet on Monday, called to considerthe Venezuelan question and the arbi-tration scheme. The officials of theforeign office "say that there are nonew complications in the Venezuelanarbitration question, and that it isthe desire of the British governmentto meet the issues in a friendly spirit.

Not for a long time has the queen,7 fn so moved by any act of kindness-

The competition of American bicyclemanufacturers, is beginning to be ser-icusly felt in England and itis report-ed that an American firm is to beginimmediately the construction of a largefactory at Coventry capable of turn-ing out 5,000 bicycles yearly. In ad-dition, according to report, an Amer-ican firm has planned the prompt erec-tion of a similar factory at Puteaux,France.

"Denver" Smith, the Americanheavyweight pugilist who has ex-pressed his anxiety to arrange for ameeting with James J. Corbett orRobert Fltzsimmons, and who recentlyarrived here from the United States,only remained in London two days andsailed for Africa on Saturday. Duringhis stay here, he called at the NationalSporting club, saying that he wantedthat organization to put up a pursefor a match between Corbett or Fitz-simmons and himself, but the match-maker of the club declined to entertainthe proposition.

The big gooseberry season in Eng-land always brings to the front a hotdiscussion upon some subject that itpleases the Daily Telegraph to start.This year the subject chosen Is "Howto celebrate the queen's reign, the long-est in English history." A wealthysoap manufacturer set the ball rollingby proposing that $25,000,000 should beraised to found

A MODEL SETTLEMENT,to be called Victoria Town. Columnsare now pouring out in the kingdom'snewspapers in discussion, wherein allthe writers agree that the idea is anexcellent one, but no two writers canagree as to what constitutes a modeltown, the fiercest controversialistsgathering round the two items oftheaters and drinking saloons. On thequestion of drinking, the line is sharp-ly drawn; in the matter of theaters,one division insists that a model the-ater should exclude all tragedies,problem plays and the like, and bestrictly limited to comedy, farce andlight opera. Nothing with an unhappyending is to be allowed in the modeltown, nor are street bands that can-not play harmoniously to be admitted.Later on the questions of secular andreligious education, rates, taxes, tradeunionism, socialism and anarchy willovertake the correspondents and helpto pile stones on the already dead sug-gestion.

Much commotion has been caused Infinancial circles In the city by the factthat the Bank of England, which here-tofore has refused to have its namementioned in prospectuses of limitedliability companies, has agreed to re-ceive subscriptions on behalf of apaper manufacturing concern whichhas just been turned into a limitedcompany, under the title of "A. M.Peebles & Son, Ltd." The prospectusis now being advertised in the dailypapers in London and the provinces.The total share and debenture capitalIs £306,000 ($1,526,000). This new de-parture of the great bank is viewed byall the smaller banks with dismay, asit is recognized on all sides that if thebank of England Is open to receivesubscriptions on behalf of the other In-tended companies. It can practicallymonopolize this line of business infuture.

The Jameson trial has developedwhat has been growing more apparentwith each succeeding month, namelythe marked change which has takenplace in the manner of the lord chiefjustice, Lord Russell, of Kilowen. Whenat the bar he was one of the most ap-proachable, urbane of men. Now hislordship takes notice of everything thatseems the slightest derogation of thedignity of his court. Lord Russell goesat once to the United States now thatthe long vacation has begun, and hewill doubtlesa express himself there inprivate on the Maybrlck case. In whichhe still takes considerable Interest.

London has reached the absolutelystagnant part of the theatrical year—not yet disturbed even by rumors ofautumn novelties.

LiHung Chang today proceeded toTrafalgar square, where one of themembers of his suite placed a wreathupon the pedestal of the Gordon statue.

which he closely examined with anopera glass, after which he made asolemn and deep obeisance before it.The Chinese envoy's example was fol-lowed by his suite, and the crowd ofonlookers cheered. The wreath wascomposed of purple flowers, surmountedby laurel, emblematic of victory, andhad a border of white flowers, as typi-cal as Gen. Gorden's purity and dis-interestedness. It was inscribed:

"To the Soldier and Friend of China—A Tribute of Respect from Li Hung

|Chang-."The Chinese ~s?atesman then drove

ito St> Paul's cathedral and placed twowreaths upon Gen. Gordon's cenotaph.The inscriptions were similar to thatupon the wreath placed upon thepedestal of "Chinese" Gordon's statue.Li Hung Chang was received at thecathedral by Canon Newbold, Gen.Sir Redvers Buller, adjutant general ofthe auxiliary forces of Great Britain,and representatives of the foreignoffice. A guard of honor, furnished byboys of the Gordon Memorial Home,was drawn up at the cenotaph. Lisaida few words through an interpreter tothe boys and then departed. The largecrowd which had gathered outside thecathedral, raised their hats as thedistinguished traveller passed.,
