A. 1. uaviuiou -auiu; "The question of the evening is, 'He collections of the Indians of Western North Carolina,' filled with pleasant memories and full of melancholy reflec tions; sad in its references and beautiful in its consequences. 1 have seen tlic In dian in his native haunts, at his lowly home, and among his bcautilul moun tains. I have brat lio-uainUd with liim for more than fifty years, and amorist my earliest recollections is that of his sub dued home, and his simplicity of life. The history of the red man is not the purpose of this discussion; that has been written, and is a part of the history of America. What I am to sav is my re collections of the Cherokees of Western North Carolina. "It is melancholy to reflect on the fate of this departing race, once the posses sors of this vast continent. Like the au tumnal leaves of the majestic forest, which once sheltered them, they have dropped and withered from the face of the earth they once proudly trod. They have been driven from place to place till the small remnant that is now left has been banished beyond the Mississippi to find shelter and support lor the lew short years that may be alloted them to exist. and left it to his Betty to see this gallant chieftain; whereupon she engaged to meet 'Yonah-Guska," and at the meeting; she informed him of the attachment she had formed for John Welch; that he was a brave, gallant, beautiful Indian Ijov, and that she loved him, and she bad promised to stand by him in weal and woe, and that she had no other resource than to apcal to the great chief of the Cherokees. upon his honor, his love of the right, his sympathy with the perse cuted, to relent; to give to them his par don, and allow her with John Welch to return to their people, and that she would go with him and abide with him and bc'one of them. This historv is brief: 'Yonah-Ouska' being full of the honor and sentiment of a high chief, condoned the offence of John Welch, per mitted him to go back to Valley river, there to settle. He raised a large number of children, of remarkable physical force, and Bettv Welch died but a few years ago, honored by her people and deserv ing well of her country." The conclusion of Col. Davidson's address will be printed in The Citizkn tomorrow. HALF OF FARGO BURNED REPEAL OF SHERMAN LAW MAJORITY OF KEPRKSUNTA TIVEIi FAVOR XT. A LOSS OP THREE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

The language oi the Indian is made up of the voices of nature. lie gathers his ulcus of sound from the falling leaf and the whispering of the winds, and the rustling of the leaves and the fall of the waters; liencc it is that his voice is soft, sweet and melancholy, imitating intimately- and closelv those soutids produced liy nature. And it is a pcculiur characteristic of his that the circumstances and sounds oi nature, the resemblance of children to the surrounding circumstances, gives them their names. As ior instance: Falling Waters,' 'Standing Woll.' 'Lit tle Deer,' 'Grasshopper,' 'Waiting for the Wind,' 'Standing in the Wind,' and such, go to show that the Indian names Ins children for nature's law and in nature's voice. A few instances of this kind wdl serve to show the effect of the observa tions 1 have made: An old woman named 'Nannn-Ca-ta-hce' sister ol 'Yonah-Guska,' was the mother of 'VVachcser, which being interpreted means 'Grasshopper.' I knew him well; he was a good man and much respected by the Indians as well as by the whites. 1 had many transactions of a business nature with him and found him icrfect iu his integrity and in his ideas of man hood and honor, licing at her house on one occasion, and being her guest, 1 asked the old woman why she called hi in by the name of 'Grasshopper.' She said it was in the days of the grasshopper that he was born; that he was a little scrawny boy with sharp elbows and sharp knees and that lie kept a-kicking, and hence she called him 'Grassboppei ;' and this is the general rule for naming children, growing out of some peculiar circum stance connected with their birth or some peculiar situation in which the parents were situated at the time of their birth. You take the one of 'Nantahala' as an illustration of this idea. It is literally the valley between the balls, and situ ated on the one side is the 'Nantahala' ball and the other is the 'Tusriuittee ball, and this beautiful mountain stream flows betwecn, rushing .from 'Pickens' Nose' on the Blue Ridge and descending through this beautilul gorge, full of life, hope and beauty. This is the most beautilul stream nowiugin the Allcizhany range with an ascent of about 3,000 feet, bordered on either side with ever green from one end to the other, and was the home in the earlier davs of this race to which I devote this hour. "There are many etorirs and historical events which 1 would like here to tc'.ito. The interesting story of Tccumseu visit ing the South to influence the Lherokecs, Choctaws, the Creeks, aud other South ern Indians, with n view to induce them to oin his forces on the lakes, is a chap ter that is worthy of consideration, but time will not permit me to deal iu those things. This is history and not within the range of the idea of the present dis course. "Another storv eouallv important and interesting and within my recollection is that of John Welch and 'Yonah-Ouska.' John Welch bad killed the Leech on the head ol valiey river, at what is known as Valleytown, now Mrs. Walker's. At that time the law of the Indians was that the next of kin was the avenger of blood. 'Yonah-Guska' was the next kiu Three Thonsand People Hurned Out Only one Hotel K.ct Hlaiicl- liifE Mot Water Euouich. Minneapolis. lune 8. One halt of Fargo, North Dakota, has been destroy ed by fire. At 10 o'clock last night the fire was still burning fiercely in a dozen places. The wind had changed to the north and was driving the flames back on the burned districts. The block in the middle of the city from Robert street and fronting south for a block wide and ten blocks long is a blackened plain of ashes with not n dozen build iugs left standing. The fierce south wind drove the flames like a prairie fire. Brick buildings seemed to melt away into heaps of crum bling sand, and it was impossible to force cnouch water through the mains to fight the fire. , , A conservative estimate of the loss is $3,000,000, with not toexcecd one quar ter insurance. Over 3,000 people arc homeless and it is impossible to verify the reports of accidents. James Flynn 8 vcars old. is reported burned, also three other children.

The World has interviewed nearly all the members of Congress by telegraph on the following questions: 1. Do you, with the present informa tion, favor the repeal of the Sherman silver law? 2. Do you favor an income tax? 3. Do you favor the repeal of the State Bank tax? The World in rcorting their answers says: ' Many answers deviate so trom the plain 'yes' or 'no' and involve so many qualifications that no tabular statement would fairly represent the opinions they express. The important facts shown arc that to the nrst ques tion. 'Do you, with your present infor mation, favor the repeal of the Sherman silver law?' there are 8G representatives who say practically ves while only IS say 'no. Of the rest many who qnalily their answer so stronelv that they can not fairly be placed in the affirmative column, show olainlv that their inclina tions arc in favor of a a repeal. 1 he sentiment of the lower house on that micstion seems to be overwhelming. The World has already Dolled tue senate on the silver bill and March sixth last orintcd a table showing that the body stood for repeal 39, against repeal 23, non committal 16. It will be noticed that several who were non-committal then are now in favor of repeal. There seems to be no doubt that nearly two- thirds of the Senate wdl vote that way, "The newer ouestion ol income tax de- velopes an' interestim; situation. Many who speak lrcely as to the Sherman mil. evade or ignore this question, but 4-5 say squarely that they favor it ana that they do not. Southern and western Congressmen are the most numerous advocates of such a tax. On the State bank tax ouestion ODimon is almost as one sided, as in rcsiard to the Sherman bill. Many dodge it entirely, but GO today arc positively against repealing the tax, while only 30 favor the reieal BV THE PRESIDENT. destroyed by fire yesterday, estimated at $200,000.

Attor neys representing the Columbia Finance and Trust company, of Louisville, who are trustees under the bondholders and acting in sympathy with the latter, asked Judge Key this morning to name a receiver for the Cumberland Gap Hotel and Park company, the most important part of the property being the Four Seasons hotel at Harrogate, which has been the resort of New York fashiona ble people. Applicants for receiversh:p claim thas the appointment is asked for merely for the purpose of reorganization. The management remains the same and no change is to be made in the conduct of the hotel. Mr. Lionel Graham, presi dent of the hotel company, is named us receiver. The liabilities are, with the ex ception of an insignificant amount, the bonded endebtcdncss of the company, $350,000; assets conservatively csti timated are $750,000. A. Lone Strlnur.

John Welch well knew this and knew his enemy, so be escaped from the country, and having ranged all the mountain tops closely pursued by bis avenger, finally passed the Blue Kidge to the east and found a resting place, as he supposed, in the old 1 ickens -district. South Carolina. Here he formed the ac quaintance of one Betty Blythe, a beau tilul girl ot per ice t tienun ana convivial spirits, and ot decidedly strong and vig orous character. He being a half french man and half Indian was susceptible to all those charms and was not alow in making love to the beautiful country girl. They had thus plighted their faith to each other; and about this time it was discovered that an In dian was lurking in and about the neighborhood. As soon as this was known-to John Welch, he understood it Iierfectly; that it was 'Yonah-Guska' on is trail. He was not slow to commu nicate this to his beloved Betty- and she in turn was not slow to sympathize with him and to resort to all the arts known to femal-; character to relieve bim from his embarrassment, lie at once informed her that he must die or flee from her. True, as they always a-e. and as inventive as they always are, she advised him that she would meet Yonah-Guska' and make known their dis tress and trouble.
