ANOTHER BATTLE.
' The News Is Confirmed—The Burial Squad
Attached,
Omaha, January 4th.—A sbeeiai from
Gordon, Neb , says:
Taro scou's who have jast arrived con
fins the xfports made last nigh: of a battle
north of this place. The fight was between
Indians and a dfinCLnient sent out by
General Miles from the Rosebud Agency to
bury the dead Indians killed at the
Wounded Knee battle.
Tbe hostile Sioux, objecting to the burial
of their dead by their pale-faced foes,
opened fire, and after desperate and sharp
firing of the Hotcbkiss guns were forced to
return to the protection of the friendly ra
vines.
No deaths were reported.
WILL AVESGE SITTING BULL'S DEATH.
Fobt Yates (X. D.), January 4th.—The
brief dispatches from Mandan last night
did not indicate how serious the defection
of the young bucks from the Standing
Rock Agency had become.
The discovery was made on issue
day that many did not come to the
agency, and one of the friendlies said they
had armed themselves and gone to join
the bands in revolt.
It is believed that there have been 1,000
desertions.
At Grand River the Sioux have been
fomenting trouble ever since the death of
Sitting Bull, and they have not been slow
in manifestly their anger toward Agent
McLaughlin. The."" u**e been disposed to
resent the killing a"t the vl st opportunity.
The dispatches at the time, whiui stated
that a number of the Indians were g;aJ
that Bitting Bull had been removed, were
greaJy exaggerated.
Troops are being rapidly moved in differ
ent directions to aid in squelching the up
rising.
KCMOBS OF MILES DErEAT.
Chicago, January 4th.—Assistant Adju
tant-General Corbin, upon a telegraphic
order from General Miles, left for the In
dian country at 6 o'clock to-night.
In an interview he said he heard a rumor
to the effect that General Miles' command
had met the hostiles and that General
Miles had lost heavily, but he did not be
lieve it, and was positive that the General
could not have been within many miles
of the locality where the fight is said to
have taken place.
Just before Colonel Corbin left to-night
he was asked if the order transferring him
to the seat of war meant that the situa
tion was more serious than suDposed.
He replied: "I think not; it's not at all
strange that I am sent for, and probably
ought to have been there before. By
virtue of my rank I am Chief of Stan,
and when the General in command is on
the field, his Chief of Staff should be there
also. Further than this. I cannot say any
thing about the matter."
The only news received at headquarters
this afternoon was a short message from
Lieutenant Moss to General Miles. It was
to the effect that the Sixth Cavalry, under
command of Captain Kerr, had met a band
of Indians at Clay creek, and a short en
gagement followed. One Indian was re
ported killed and one wounded. There
were no casualities to the troops.
scorrs and police doing good work.
Washisston, January 4th.—The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has, in response
to a telegram sent to Agent Roger at Pine
Ridge inquiring as to whether any of the
Indian scouts or police have joined the
hostiles. received the following reply from
the agent:
"None of your enlisted scouts have
joined hostiles. The police and scouts are
rendering good service, and by their vigor
ous firing prevented the hostiles from
burning the agency buildings." ' *
A reporter to-night called the attention
of the Commissioner to reports from
Pine Ridge, saying that General Miles had
recommended the removal of the Indian
agents at Pine Ridge and at other places,
and to the statement that tbe Indians were
slowly starving to death. The Commis
sioner said that so far as the agents were
concerned there was no evidence that there
had been any dishonesty on their part in
distributing the supplies.
The Commissioner has submitted to the
President a statement covering the ques
tion of the charge that agreements with
the Indians had not been fulfilled.
BLSODY CONFLICT PREDICTED.
Denver, January 4.h.—A Nem Pine
Bluft special says:
The army of Indians now surrrounded
by General Miles' soldiers, on White Clay
creek, number over 4,000 with their women
and children, most of them from the upper
Dakotas reservation. Hundreds of the
crowd are crazed with ghost dancing, and
will fight as Big Foot's men fought.
Shots were tired by the pickets nearly
every hour last night, banishing sleep from
all eyes.
Fire arrows were thrown into the agency
aboat midnicht from a ravine near by, but
fortunately fell harmlessly.
Half breeds and squaw-men are leaving
for the railroad, saying they know what is
cjmingand don't propose to remain.
This war will not be ended except by
one of the bloodiest conflicts in the history
of Indian warfare.
THE SHIPPING BILL.
Representative Farqnhar Will Call it Cp
To-Morrow.
Washisgtos, January 4th.—Representa
tive Farqubar. of New York, who has
charge of the shipping bill, says he will
call up that measure next Taesday, and he
does not anticipate any Democratic oppo
sition to tbe question of consideration.
He did not look forward, to antag
onism from any appropriation bill, as
the Senate now has three appropriation
bills unacted on.
Farqubar thinks that two days' debate
ought to be sufficient, but he is willing to
have a ni»ht session Tuesday night, if it is
considered necessary.
"it is quite possible." said Farquhar,
"that we shall not press the substitute
which is now before the House. We may,
for the sake of avoiding friction, take the
Senate bill and amend it by striking out
the first section and inserting tbe first sec
tion of the substitute. Then we may adopt
thereat of the Senate bill, adding the pos
i tal and naval clauses. Tbe bill- will not
then be as complete and thorough as the
substitute, but it will be a good law. and I
am willing to predict that within a year,
five or six of the seaports of the South will

Farqubar is confident that the bill will
be passed by the House.
Although Farquhar professes to be confi
dent of his bill's passage, grave doubts are
expressed by knowing ones as to the result.
Morrow will speak on the bill when it
comes up Tuesday, but he has his doubts
«hont its passage. Cannon and other Re
publicans are ?ead set against the bill and
will oppose it stoutly in the Committee of
the Whole, while on the other hand some
of the Democrats are in favor of it, among
them being Amos J. Cummings of New
York. Clunie and Geary are non-commit
tal, but it is believed the former will vote
for it.
MRS. MOORE'j PROVISO.
She Will Not Put L Tp Money for Keely
Except Conditionally.
Philadelphia, January 4th. — Mrs.
Bloomfield Moore, who has been supplying
Keely with funds to keep up bis experi
ments, is ont in a talk to the stockholders.
She ssys to them;
"The recent report of the Keely Motor
Company, in which mention is made of
the financial condition, forces me, after
verifying the rumor current that you have
an emp'.^ treasury, to make known to you
that the" pubMcation of said report "has
caused me to notify Dr. LeidY that no more
funds are to be given by him to Mr- Keely
until I have received from the manner of
.the company or from the Board of Diro."*
ors, or from its stockholders, a guarantee
that if I provide Mr. Keely with means to
continue hi? researches to end his present
line of work, no efforts shall be made to
raise the price of stock in the future by re
ports of operations of engines which are
not in existence, nor in any other way."
Mrs. Moore, however, still has faith in
Keeiy. *
ALABAMA MINEB?.
They Complain of ill-Treatment from
their English employers.
Columbus (O.). January 4;h.—The United
Mine Workers have issued an appeal to
the organized labor of the country, ap
proved by the officers of the American
Federation of Labor. The appeal con
cludes; "The miners of Alabama are
worse treated than those cf any other sec
tion of the country. Not only have we to
compete with the curse of convict labor jn
the mines, but we are worse treated than
the convicts. We are compelled to work
beside them, and free miners are practical
ly at the mercy of Ihe representatives of
corporations and monopolies, the share
holder. ? l which reiide In Great Britain,
and have 0n.7 interest in Ihe mines to
the amount of the u.'r'dends they receive,
caring little for the lives of welfare of those
employed therein. If we are successful,
these men must get assistance. This is a
struggle for not only wages, but for the
right to organize."
MONTANA TRAGEDY.
A Han Goes A-Gunning, Kills a Police
man and is Killed Himself.
Missoula (Mont.), January 4th.—This
morniDg Lewis Simmons went to bis room
above tbe saloon kept by his brother and
another man, and began to abuse bis mis
tress.
Policeman Hotcbens was called to arrest
Simmons.
As he entered the room Simmons shot
him, inflicting fatal wounds. Simmons
then went down to the saloon, and, by in
discriminate firing, drove everyone frotn
the place.
6!. trill Houston was sent for and as he
appeared on the scene, Simmons began
shotting at him.
The Sheriff, however, returned the fire,
killing Simmons.
Belligerent Italians.
Tbestok (X. J.), January 4th.—The riot
which occurred at Barnegat Park yesterday
caused the Governor to order the military
put under arms to-day. The trouble was
so seriou* at midnight last night that Lieu
tenant Farrow, U.S. A , fearing the place
would be burned, made a requisition for
troops.
The trouble at that place grew out of the
dissatisfaction of several scores of Italian
laborers who bad been grading the public
boulevard and had not been recently paid.
The Italians threatened to burn thevillage,
Women and children tied to shelter in the
neighboring woods and tbe citizens are
armed for defense. To day the Italians
were quieted with assurances of an amica
ble settlement to-morrow.
Beply to Gompnrs.
New York, January 4tb.—At to-day's
meeting of the Central Labor Federation,
Lucien Sanial moved that a reply be sent
President Gompers, of the American Feder
ation of Labor, in answer to bis question
if Socialists were still represented in tbe
Central Labor Federation, the reply to con
tain the statement that Gompers had made
false statements to the Detroit Convention;
that he composed the Credential Commit
tee ef the enemies of Socialists, and that he
used unfair means to keep the Socialists
out of the Convention. The motion was
adopted.

A San Jose Real Estate Men to Build a
Mexican Bailroad.
San Jose, January 4th.—Arthur G.
Field, a local real estate dealer, has re
turned from a trip to Mexico, and brings
information that he has been given a valu
able railroad franchise in tbe State of
Durango.
The Government gives him a subvention
of $13,000 per mile, free right of way and
depot grounds. The road will extend from
the City of Durango to Zacatecas, a distance
of two hundred miles, at the latter place
making a junction with fte Mexican Ceqv
tral.
It will pass through ahd develop on* of
the richest portions of Mexico. It will
give an impetus to the silver mines around
Durango, as now the ore is carried on bur
ros' backs to the railroad, two hundred
miles distant, and as a result the mines are
not fully developed and but slowly worked
with most primitive machinery.
It is understood that London capital is
backing Mr. Field.

13 OV It I'KULAKS.
Two Santa Cruz Youngsters Bob the
Felton Baitwar Depot.
Santa Cr»z, January 4th.—This after
noon while the agent of the Nairow-
Gauge Railroad at Felton was at dinner,
his office was entered and robbed of a small
amount of money—about $30.
Suspicion was directed to two boys, about
14 year 3 of age, who were seen in the
vicinity The officers were notified imme
diately and they arrested the two boys,
who are residents of this city, and placed
them in jail.
Agent Frank Hoffman of this city vis
ited the jail and secured $26, the boys
claiming that a tramp had planned tbe
matter and induced them to do the work.
After the robbery was committed, they
said the tramp took $10, giving the boys
tbe balance.
The boys have unsavory reputations,
having been implicated in several former
minor offenses, but no charge has hereto
fore been brought against them.

DILATORY PROCEEDINGS.
Much Dissatisfaction with the Slowness
ot Congress.
Washington, January 4th.—lt begins to
be apparent at present that tbe unsatisfac
tory state of affairs in the Senate must be
soon terminated. Fifty working days will
be the life of the fifty- first Congress, yet the
first of the regular annual appropriation
bills remains to be acted on by the Senate.
Tbe feeling of impatience which this
condition of the public business aroused
has gathered strength every day. Signifi
cant remarks uttered each week by Senators
ol recognized influence appear to have had
no effect in bringing tbe Senate nearer to a
change of the programme that has held
sway since Congress met in December last.
A caucus of Republican Senators is to
be held probably Monday evening, and it is
confidently expected by most of tbe Re
publican Senators that, as the result of it,
before the week expires the crisis will have
been reached with respect to the elections
bill, and tbe Senate will have arrived at a
clear understanding of what coarse it is
to pursue for the remainder of the session.
The lines of battle are narrowing and
there is a gathering of forces. It is be
lieved that there will be a series of night
sessions, designed to test the efficacy of the
old methods of passing a bill obnoxious to
the minority, as well as to secure the adop
tion of the new cloture rnle, if it be decided
to pass this measure.
it is expected, however, that this order
will not be made before Tuesday, as anight
session Monday would interfere with the
desired caucus. In the House to-morrow
it will be "individual suspension day," and
members will be given an opportunity to
pass measures of local interest.
REPUBLICANS GETTING ANXIOUS.
They Fear Iher Will Mot Have Enough
Senators for a Quorum.
Washington, January 4th.—The efforts
of the Republican Senators to secure a
quorum of their party In the Senate this
week does not seem likely to be crowned
with success, notwithstanding tbe fact that
Senator Ingalls has been summoned here
and that an imperative telegram has also
been forwarded to Senator Jones.
Until McConnell baa been sworn in
tbe Republicans bare only fifty Senators
and forty-fonr in tbe quorum at present.
It looks thin. There will beflkght ab
sentee* this week, as follows
Pettigrew, Moody, Pierce. Paddock, Jonea
(of Nevada), Farwell, Squire and Blair.
There are other absentees, but they are
•U likely to he here except those men
tioned.
In the preparation for the expected fight,
notice has been sent out to the Repub
lican Senators that in making pairs with
absent Democrats it must be stipulated that
no pairs will hold where the vote of a Sena
tor is needed to make up a quorum.
Senator Casey has been put in charge cf
'be Senatorial pairs. Owing to the absence
of Hoar, Chairman of the Committee of
Privileges and Elections, nothing has yet
been done in the matter of the three Sen
ators from Idaho, and until the committee
makes some report, McConnell cannot be
sworn in. It is expected that the commit
tee will meet to-morrow morning or on
Tuesday morning at the furthest, when
McConneU'B credentials will be accepted,
and he will be sworn in when the Senate
i meets.
_, c -"^"K or terms between Messrs.
ohoup and McConnell will inimediatei
follow. ™
The committee is also likely to admit
2?n.'% £**£& prediction U not so cer-
S?-"S the de, c'sion may be delayed some
time. Some of the members of the com
mittee are in favor of letting his case go
over to the next Congress for settlement,
will's others went it disposed of cow in
order that, if it is referred back to the
Idaho Legislatnte, reference maybe made
before the Legislature adjourns.
It is regirded by some as strange in this
case that the Legislature, when it under
took to elect a thiid Senator to succeed to
the term expiring next March, did not re
turn to ballot in separate houses and then
convene in joint session again to elect Dv
bois.
MORROW'S CHINESE BILL.
A Poor Prospect of it Being Taken up
for Consideration.
Washixgtoh, January 4'.h —Morrow was
asked about the urospects of getting his
Chinese bill through. He said: 'There
are so many important measures before
Congress and so many members are striv
ing to have a dsy set fcr the consideration
of their bills that it is doubtful if the anti-
Chinese bill can secure a day.''
It is well known that Hitt of Illinois,
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, is opposed to the bill, but his oppo
sition will not be manifested on the floor
of the House- He opposed it strongly in
committee, pnd submitted a minori?; re
port, but he has promised that on the floor
of the House he will be silent and let Mor
row assume entire charge of the bill. Mor
row will of course exert himself to tbe
utmost to secure a day for its consideration
and passage, but the result is iD great
doubt.
McKlnley, Chairman of the CommHee
on Rules, has never expreis^d himself as
against Morrow's bill, and it is believed be
would be glad to set a day for its consid
eration if there were not so many import
ant measures pending. If its consideration
can only be reached, Morrow has no fears
but that it will pass.
STAGE TALK.
New Plays and Faces that May Visit the
Pacific Coast.
New York, January 4th.—Al Havmac
who is now in Paris, has arranged for the
Epglish rights of "Men and Women"
with Charles Frohman for an early produc
tion. In the mean time Mr. and Mrs.
Kendal, who have been bere, are anxious
to secure the play. It reaches its 100 th
performance here on January 12ih. The
Frohmans will give souvenirs on that oc
casion. The company goes to the coast
just as it is here. Hay man sails from Paris
the latter part of January. He has closed
up some big contracts abroad for Califor
nia, including the opera of "La Cigale,"
with Lillian Russell in the star part. She
goetjto the Baldwin Theater. "Allthe Com
forts of a Home," which was given for a
thirteen weeks' run last season in Boston,
opens there again on Monday night, and
will play up to the time that the entire
company jumps direct to San Francisco.
The report that W. J. Lemoyne is to
leave Daniel Frohman's company is not
true. Both Lemoyne and Kelly have
aigDed for two more" years. The company
is still playing "The Idler," and at the con
clusion of the run of the piece a comedy
called "Nerves" will be produced and later
on the "Solicitor."
The Daly company will change their
play shortly and produce "The School for
Scandal.'' Harry Edwards has been added
to the company to give the business of the
piece as done by Wallack.
DOW'S HONEYMOON.
It Nearly Ends in a Murder and Sui
cide.
Dekver, January 4th.—The honeymoon
of banker Dow's son and Millie Price, the
actress, who were married here Friday
night, after an acquaintance of only two
days, came near ending in a double mur
der to-nigbt.
Dow's father has refused to have any
thing to do with him or aid him
financially. Several creditors had the
young man arrested Saturday on a charge
of obtaining goods under false pretenses,
and trial was set for Wednesday.
To-night the couple retired to their room
at the hotel about 10 o'clock. Two hours
later Mrs. Dow rushed out of the room
clad only in her nightdress, just in time to
escape beiDg shot by her huiband.
Seeing he had failed to hit her. be at
tempted to blow his brains out, but the bul
let flew wide of its mark and he was over
powered before he could make a second as
tern pt. It is supposed the trouble was over
money matters.
Women Duelists.
Wheeling (W. Va.). January 4th.—
Word comes from New Martinsville, W.
Va., that two physicians have been sum
moned to go ten miles into Tyler county to
attend two women wbo fought a duel with
butcher knives. The fight is dt scribed as a
mo3t ferocious and desperate encounter.
Mrs. Wilson, one of the duelists, is fatally
hurt. The other woman's name is nor
known, nor is the cause for the strange
deed.
Graceful Women of 60.
Miss Mantalini writes to the Pall Mall
Gazette: Old ladies in the ordinary sense of
the word are getting remarkably scarce. I
never come across old ladies' bonnets,
dresses, cloaks or finery in any shape or
form fur old ladies at the shops. People
tell me they don't make such things. The
fact is that women of 50 and 60 have ceased
to make frights of themselves. They don't
wear their clothes (boots, bonnets and
gloves iccluded) fjur titne3 too big for them
like > the old ladies of past years used to.
Less capacious garments are found to be
just as comfortable.
Women of 60 can and do dress gracefully
nowadays. Those wbo have lost their own
hair wear artificial, and look all tbe better
for doing so. With nice hair, whether real
or otherwise, a woman of 60 can always
put on a respectable looking bonnet. Ugly
old ladies will have vanished altogether by
the time the Princess of Wales is 90.
A Thirst for Knowledge.
The thirst of the Southern nrgroes for
knowledge is illustrated by the experience
of Atlanta University. The flood of stu
dents this season, which Is expected to con
tinue until Christmas, is already so great,
says the College Bulletin ".hat after filling
all the available space in cur buildings, we
have already had to go outside to accom
modate Ihe last arrivals until all practical
facilities in this direction have been ex
hausted" New buildings are an absolute
necessity if the noble work of the institu
tion is not to be circumscribed.
A tusk seven feet long and atooth weigh

which has been issued on the condition of
in .„™f dJ V-° D MTV "povertv is chronic

tress during the winter and spring. There
is neither a resident party nor a substantial
middle C:BS3 to give employment, nor are
there any charitable orgß.ir zltions to aid
those who are unible to aid themselves.
Oat-door relief, except in cases of emer-"'
geucy, cannot legally be administered, ex
cept to persons holaing „„ 8 qMltfl o f an
acre of land. J
"Although none acquain-.ed with the
history of the Irish poor law would regard
the relaxing of this clause as other than a
public calamity, its maintenance undoubt
edly limits the capacity to deal with peri
ods of exceptional distress. Tbe position
thus created leaves part of tbe social o*
gauism sick and at all times stricksn with
cisease from which, without extraneous
help, it has no power to rally.
"The question is not whether money
ought to be given, but how it should be
gtyen—to what class and for what snecial
purposes. Charity ill-adminhtered injures
tbe recipients everywhere, but is especially
injurious to those parts with which we are
concerned. Elsewhere the injury may be
confined to a class relatively small, but in
the worst portions of the congested districts
a whole community may be affected. All
are poor, all can plausibly appeal for aid,
and help recklessly given in response may
infect whole townships wih vices and
weaknesses and professional mendicancy.
"We have spoken of this matter to many
priests and others acquainted with the con
dition of the people. There was not one
of them, however generally they may
have felt the sufferings of those amongst
whom they lived, who did not admit that
permanent ill-effects followed from much
charitable expenditure withiu their experi
ence. Regarding the appeals for help, it ia
needful to say that tales of distress need
not be taken as authentic because they are
couched in strong language and seem to
come from well-informed quarters.
"In regard to the failure of the potato
crop, small occupiers in the west seem at
first sight all to live much in the same
way. They are lodged in small cabins,
cultivate the same kind of soil, and are
clothed with the same kind of dress. It
would be natural to conclude that in all
places where the failure of the crop is the
same the distress is the same. But such is
not the case. In no district does the com
munity live wholly upon potatoes. Every
district has a means of livelihood, inde
pendent of tbe cultivation of the potato.
The degree of the failure of the potato
crop is, therefore, by itself a misleading
guise to tbe degree of distress existing
among the people.
"Other elements in the finding of the posi
tion of the people are the amount of their
savings and their debt and credit with
local tradesmen. Furthermore, in the or
ganization of any plan of gratuitous assist
ance caution is necessary in order that it
shall not interfere with the system of rail
way relief works. Several thousands of
pounds are weekly already distributed ia
the form of wages in the districs mcst in
need.
"The conclusions we come to are that
charitable aid ought to be confined: First,
to families which are in serious want and
which, having no able-bodied person
among them, cannot derive benefits from
public relief works; second, to providing
meals in schools for children attending
them; and third, to supplying clothing for
children unable to procure them else
where. '
RIDER HAGGARD.
The Celebrated Novelist is on His Way
to America.
Livebpool, January 4th.—Among the
passengers on the Etruria, which sailed for
New York was H. Eider Haggard and
wife.
In an interview Mr. Haggard said that
this was his first visit to America, and he
looked forward to the trip, which was
purely a personal one, with a great deal of
pleasure.
He and Mrs. Haggard intended to remain
two or three days only in New York,
thence to go to Mexico to visit some friends
and then to the West Indies. They would
make a three months' tour, and perhaps
might collect material for a uew book.

The fascination which military bands

than that possesed for them by grown peo
