Denver, January 7th.—The SsmH correspond
ent at the camp on White Clay creek wires:
'No new developments have occurred at this
point. AU are anxiously waiting lor tbe word
to attack the hostiles. General Brooke and his
staff are encamped at WrfUnded Knee, where
tbey have estaolished the headquarters ol the
Department ot the Platte. A cordon of troops
is closing in around the bostiles in the valley of I
White Clay creek. General Brooke has given
instruction* to each commanaer ol the troops
in this vicinity to patrol the country from one
command to the other to t<ee that no party of
the hcstiles escapes.
PICKLTS ATTACKED.
"Late last night the camp was aroused by
shots from the outlying pickets about two miles
from tbe camp. The picket rode into the camp
andjaid tbat a band of Indians had tried to
surprise them, shooting at them from behind a
pile of rocks. They immediately returned the
tire. As the night was dark the number of In
dians is not known, but judging from the num
ber of shots fired they must have numbered at
least twenty. Two troops of cavalry hurried to
the scene, but on their arrival they could and
no Indians. During the firing one of the pick
ets was slightly wounded." j
AS ATTACK EXPECTED.
Omaha, January "th.—The Omaha Bee'a spe
cial Irom Pine Ridge says i Some hostiles were I
seen leaving their camp last night and making
toward the various agencies. Whether their i
errand signifies disiutegration or an effort to
ecure recruits, is not yet known. There is
cry indication of a great fight CM. at hand.

AGS3.T ROVER RELIEVED. Proc-
Washinoton. January 7th.—Secretarie. con
tor and Noble and Gener.il Sehofield had a ion
ierence at the War Department this altera to
in regard to tbe ludian troubles, and agreed
appoint an officer of the army as agent of :5k
ludians at the Pine Ridge Agency, thus neces
sitating the retirement of Indian Agent Royer
from tbat duty. The officer so appointed wili, (
however, retain his position in tue army. Iv- j
dian ageuts at the other agencies will not be i
disturbed, but, as shown in Geueral Sehofield's |
telegram of the Oth inst, to General Miles, army
officers had been designated to take military [
control of lour other agencies, with instruction's i
to co-operate with the agents of the Interior
The report that these agents had been dis
placed is without foundation, except as far as
it relates to the Pine Ridge Agency.
Captain Pierce of the First Infantry has been
selected as Agent at the Pine Ridge Agency,
and will probably be appointed by the Presi
dent to-morrow. A message, embodying tbe
(acts given above, has ceeu sent by General
Sehofield to General Miles.
Secretary Proctor is considerably exercised
over the newspaper reports ot the controversy
between the W"ar and Interior Departments In
regard to the management ot the Indian cam
paign. He said this afternoon that the two de
partments were iv perfect harmouy in the mat
ter aud he authorized a most emphatic denial of
any report indicating the slightest friction be
tween the two departmeuts.
THE WOUNDED KNEE BATTLE.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re
ceived a loug report from the agent at Pine
Ridge about the Wounded Knee fight, accord
ing to which the fight was started by a medi
cine man of Big Foot's band. When the soldiers
were searching the tei>oes (or arms he suddenly
began to cry out, "Kill the soldiers!'' Their
bullets wou't have any eflect on our ghost
shirts!" at the same time throwing up handfuls
of dirt into the air. After a short performance
he fired his gun iv the direction ot the military. |
and this started the fight.
INDIANS GOING TO THE AGENCY.
Chicago, January 7th.—Captain L. Huegins,
at the army division headquarters here, received
a dispatch this evening lrom Assistant Adju
tant-General Corbin at Pine Kidge saying that a
number of Indians are coming into the agency
from the camp ol the hostile!. How many of
the savages are en route it was impossible to
approximate
According to the dispatch the general situa
tion had not greatly changed trom the day pre
ceding.
The message said the difficulty was well ex
pressed by one old Indian, who to day put
in an appearance at Pine Kidge. He
declared that the trouble is tbat
too many lies are passing in
both directions between the agency and the
Sioux camps. The inference is that when the
real situation becomes cleared to both sides the
cud will be less distant than it has been made
to api>ear.
LATEST mi PINE RIDGE.
Pine Ridge Agency, January 7th.—Couriers
from among the hostiles repent the announce
ment that notbing can arrest bloodshed.
At headquarters, however, hopes are enter
tained that the trouble will soon end in peace.
General Miles has not; et heard from Big Koad,
Jack Rei Cloud, He Dr.g and Little Hank, who
conferred with him ou Monday and returned
to the hostiles. He expects them to-nigbt or
to morrow. If they do not come theu. It Is
probable the General will take the field after
them with but little delay. Late this evening
the General received word from old Red Cloud
that he would come in to-morrow and bring all
the Indians he could with him.
The General thinks Two Strikes will accom
pany Red Cloud ana that they may be followed
by all the other Indians.
Advices from Washington announcing the ap
proval of General Miles' suggestions of putting
the agencies, where trouble exists, under mili
tary control, were received to-night. Miles was
satisfied that this reform will inu^e to the b'n
eiit and happiness of the Intliaus, basing his
opinion upon the record of the officers he has
selected. All of them have, in times past, had
experience In handling Indians and with suc
cess.
Mrs. Sykes. formerly Superintendent of the
Indian schools in this agency, has received
the permission of General Siiles to take Little
Wound to Coieago and Fast. She hopes to have
this warrior, who is now among the hostiles,
and was one of those earliest disaffected, tell
the story of the reported wrongs of his people.
She returned only a few day ago from Wash
ington and bore a letter from the President to
General Miles, on the strength of which her
request was granted.
another collision.
Chicago, January 7th.—At a late hour to night
Captain Huggins, of General Miles' staff, re
ceived a dispatch from that officer at Pine
Rldee, saying that General Brooke repor.s some
fighting.
Lieutenant Casev of the Twenty-secoDd In
fantry was shot in the head and killed by
a Brule Sioux. There were no further particu
lars.
REITER CENSURED.
A Scorching Letter from Tracy on the
Barrundia Affair.
Washington. January 7th.—Secretary Tracy
has written a letter of unquallßed censure to
Commander Reiter, who was relieved of his
command for his action at San Jo*e. when
senior officer with the Ranger and Thetis at the
time ol the killing of General IWrrundia, on

Acapuleo. a steamer bearing the American flag,
was known to you, you should hare taken every
step legally in your power to give countenance
and support to her captain and protection to
all persons on board, especially when you
knew their safety was likely to be menaced.
Instead of this. In your apparent endeavor to
escape responsibility, you remained so com
pletely passive that as far as theeventson board
the Acapuleo were concerned, you and your
vessel might as well have been on the other side
of the ocean. Whenever any passenger, whether
American or foreign, is received on board an
American vessel, he comes under the American
flag and is entitled to the protection and secur
ity of which that Sag is a guarantee.
"It was within your legitimate power as it
was your imperative duty, to execute by every
means legally at your command, the guaran
tee of protection which the United States gives
to all vessel, under its Hag. Your ships were
on the spot. You had full knowledge of Gen
eral Barrnndia's approach. You were in
formed of the intention co seize him as a po
litical offtnder. He was not a fugitive from the
territory of Guatemala, see%ing to escape ter
ritorial jurisdiction. Neither was he a con
spirator, attempting to return to his country to
foment revolution. He was a passenger on
board an American ship, which he had joined
in Mexico with destination for Panama, and he
had thus, without your intervention and out
side of local jurisdiction, obtained a place
under the flag and the protection of the United
States.
"In this situation you found him. His safety
was threatened. Under these circumstances it
was your plain duty to proceed at once to meet
the steamer before she cast anchor in port, to
warn the Captain of danger aud offer to his
passenger, should he desire it, an asylum on
board your ship. Even after the arrival of the
Acapuleo in port your power of discretionary
action was by no means taken away. There
were three points in which the existing situa
tion imposed upon you, as senior naval officer,
the present positive duty, namely :
"First—To make a lull investigation of the
facts, to ascertain the sufficiency of the charge
and of the authority on which the passenger's
proposed removal was based.
"Second—To prevent by your presence, with
such assistance as you might find nectssary,
proceedings on board the steamer calculated lo
endanger the safety of those on board.
"Third—lf, upon examination, it appeared to
be attempted without proper warrant; that pro
ceedings were merely in the uature of a pre
text to secure the person oi a political fugitive,
to offer him, in accordance with the humane
and well-established practice iv the cases of
refugees whose lives are In danger, the hospi
tality of your own vessel.
"In none of these particulars does it appear
that you tcok any action."
The Secretary closed the letter in the follow
ing words : "It is believed that few cases have
ever occurred in the United States navy where
a commanding officer so completely abandoned
the responsibility of his position as. according
to your own showing, you did upon this critical
occasion. A United States officer does not ask
of foreign Governments permission to offer an
asylum to any person ou board an American
vessel at sea who stands in need of reluge. An
officer who so abdicates his authority and that
of the natiou he represents, and surrenders
it to others, has a lesson to learn before he can
safely be intrusted with the command of a ship
of war."

BOHCB Point (N. J), January 7th.—A tire in
a densely populated Hungarian tenement sec
tion a. Bayoune, last night, left uearly 1,000
Hungarians homeless, whiie 6,000 of those peo
ple were driven nearly wild with excitement.
The fire started shortly after 6 o'clock in a lit
tle dry goods store on the first floor of a double
three story tenement. This building, with a
similar one and a double iour-story tenement
adjoining were wholly consumed,-with nearly
all their contents.
A thousand people lived there like snimals,
existing mainly on rye brea'l and stale beer.
Another double four-story tenement in course of
erection was also destroyed. The houses were
probably worth $35,000 and are nearly covered
by insurance Many of the Hungarians insisted
upon staying in the burning houses to save
their property. Po»lcemen drove them out Oy
force.
No one was injured among the tenants, al
though three firemen had narrow escapes from
suffocation. Shelter for the unfortunate was
provided by the police. How the fire started is
a mystery.

Eeattlk, January 7th.—John Ames, aged 19,
who wh.- au inmate of Charles R. Hammond's
notorious Cleveland stereet house, iv London,
and who escaped with Hammond to this coun
try, to-day made a statement concerning the
notorious place, and swore to its truth before
James A. Hillyer, a Notary Public, in the pres
ence of several witnesses.
Hammond is under sentence oi two years iv
the Penitentiary ior grand larceny, and the boy,
who has heretofore been afraid to tell the
story, because of Hammond's threats of pe
sonal violence, now tells il voluntarily.
Y'onng Ames was secretary lor Hammond,
and says he wrote many letters la-t year to
English nobleman, demanding hush money.
His sworn statement, iv part, is as follows: "ln
June. 18St>, the Conway boy, nineteen years of
age, told me of the existence of the house kept
by Hammond ou Cleveland street, London, and
induced me to go there with him. As life was
au easy one aud money was plenty, I remained
there until June, ISs9, at which time the dis
covery of the nature of the house caused Ham
mond aud myself to leave London. The house,
I was told by Hammond, had been running be
tween three or four years and during the year
I was there about twenty men visited the house
regularly. Many of these were introduced into
the house under false names, and the names of
some were never known either to Hammond or
myself. Seven of the meu I became personally
acquainted with, and their names were the
Earl of Eustou, Lord Arthur somerset, Robert
Jorvoice, the Queen s officer. Dr. Maitland,
Percy Stafford, the capitalist, Hugh Waglin, the

CONGRESSIONAL.
i
in the senate.
Washington, January 7th.—ln the Senate
the conference report on the public printiug de- !
flciency bill was agreed to.
The financial bill was then taken np, and
Daniel spoke iv favor of free coinage.
Plumbjlollowed. He credited the Silver Act
of last session with having had the effect of
preventing a universal financial panic. What
ever may be said about its shortcomings, Its
effect ou the immediate situation has been of
munificent character. He did not share the
fears of the Senator from Ohio (Sherman) as to
what would happen ftom the free coinage of
silver. Perhaps he was not as sensitive on that
point as be might have been if he had not heard
to oiten similar forbeariugs from the same
quarter that had not been realized. He (Plumb)
was not able to give his support to the bill re
ported by tbe Finance Committee. He was op
posed to the first section, providing for the pur
chase of »12.o fiO,!MO worth of silver. It would,
of course, add that much money to circulation,
but It would bear ou Its face a disposition to
help a certain class of people at the expense of
the treasury. It was in the interest of our
trade aud of honest money that the country
should establish as nearly as possible parity be
tween gold and silver. The population of the
country was increasing at tne rate of 2% per
cent., while business was increasing at the rate
ot 6 per ceut. Circulation should bave relation
to both population and business There should
be international bimetallism. He/li-1 not hold
that the ftve coinage ot silver was the cura for
all evils, but he did contend that It was a long,
wise aud much-ueeded step in the right direc
tion.
Hiscock spoke agains' free coinage. The
people tbat he represented never believed that
the free coinage of silver would place that
metal on parity with gold.
in the housk.
Washington, January 7th.—ln the Honse the
Senate bill increasing from fifty to seventy tbe
number of army officers who may be detailed to
military colleges, was passed.
The House then went into Committee of the
Whole on the shipping bilL
Herbert of Altbama opposed the measure be
cause it proposed an indiscriminate subsidy to
vessels of every character In foreign trade. It
was the natural result of the McKinley bill, he
said.
Dingley of Maine, reviewing the decadence of
American ghippicg Interests, said that in suca
a condition as the country now found itself with
only ]_}£ per cent, of the foreign carrying trade,
with Great Britlan entrenched on every ocean
route, it was obvious, tbat it was utterly out of
the power of private individuals, without assist
ance in some direction, to dialodee tbe shipping
of Great Britain. It wm said that the bill
wo-uld not do for the merchant marine what
was claimed for it. We could judge ol that by
what a similar policy had done for France.with
less maritime people than those ol the United
states.
Within five years from the establishment of a
subsidy system, tbe steam tonnage of France
had doubled. With the widest extent of coast
known to any nation, the United States could
reap a benefit from subsidies far greater thau
any other nation. Italy had adopted a subsidy
policy in ISSS, and in four years her steam ma
rine had increased 40 per ceut. The maximum
expense of the bill the first year would be
$2,000,000, of which all but about MByHO or
HOO.OOO would come from tne postage and
tonnage dues, taking the highest rate of in
crease in tonnage, and he intimated aa a result
of the provisions of the bill, lhat the greatest
amount of expenditure that would be needed
in one year would be *7.000,00f>, after which the
rate of payment would steadily diminish.
Dockery of Missouri said there were three
causes that constituted a barrier against any at
tempt to restore the American canying trade.
The first was the differeme of cost bttween
American and foreign vessels; the second, the
greater running expenses of American vessels
were under, and the third, the harsh aud re
strictive features of our navigation laws, exact
ing heavy tonnage dues. Consular tees and other
dues. Furthermore, the Republican policy of
exclusion of imports was at war witn the inter
est ol the American carrying trade. He was op
posed to subsidies and other protection to special
industries, and asked Farqubar, Chairman of
the committee, how much the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, waich, at one session, he
said, corrupted the employes of the House,
would get.
Farquhar replied thai it would get the same
as all other steamship companies.
Dockeiy said that was no answer, and asktd
if the Pacific Mail stock had not risen ou tte
probability of the passage of the bill.
Farquhar warmly replied if It were so, he
was giad of it, and hoped fie stock of every
American company would increase in value.
Dockery said he ivauted to take home to the
farmers of the '..'est that 55.000,000 that was be
ing taken away from the Treasury to gusiain
and support New England ship owners. George
Gould, he understood, was oue of the "laboriug
men" to be beuefi ted. Loukery then invited
attention to the restrictive scope of tbe recip
rocity advocate Jby Secretary liiaine. So far as
the farmers were concerned, a defect that was
fatal to the subsidy was aline fatal to reciproc
ity. The farmer could derive no benefit from
reciprocity, because the Sjuth American coun
tries had almost every article necessary for
their own consumption. Let the cauntrT re
turn to that policy under which it explored
every sea and cast anchor iv every harbor. Di
vested of every artificial restriction, our com
mercial marine could renew and assert its im
portance upon the deep.
Pending further debate the committee rose
anij (hcj Hous? adjourned.

•That," answered Sir Johu, "seems to be a
new point raised and lakes us back lo ISI6.
.Napoleon whs then confined ou St. Helena, and
Great Britain s action in excluding vessels
from waters within c gbt leagues ol St. Helena
was a measure ot war, tak-u in concert with
the great allied Powers, which alone would be
interested in resisting the cession of dominin,
and al that time tbe assertion ot sovereieutv by
every maritime Power iv seas surrounding" her
lossessiotis was vastly more common than it is
to-day. It will be lor Blame to enforce this con
teniion in the face ol th.- fact that Dwight
Foster, who conducted ihe case for tbe United
states before the Halifax Commission made it
a strong poini that the pretensions of all mari
time countries at that time could not be cited
at the present day as defining bounds of inter
national law as regards marine jurisdiction.
Great Britain has been lor years asser- iug sov
ereignty overall the seas surrounding the Brit
ish islands, and she had claimed, with acqui
escence of both France aud Spain, all tho bank
fisheries within sixty miles ol the coast of New
foundland and the whole bull of St. Lawrence,
so that even If the question of St. Helena were
not en'.irely exceptional aud the result of a
compact, it belonged to a period which cannot
be cited as a precedent iv modern international
law."
"What do you think of the questions which
Blame desires to submit to arbitration ?"
"Tbey are all involved ia the reference which.
Lord Salisbury proposed—What were the rights
exeicised by Russia iv Behring Sea? How far
were they conceded hy Great Britain? Was
BelniDg Sea included in the Pacific Ocean ?
and so on. Blame obviously is cot sincere in
his contention, because he coull have raised

IT WILL BE GRAND.
The Marysville Citrus Fair Will Be *
World-Beater.
[Marysville Appeal, January C»h.]
The people of Northern and Central Cali
fornia may be congratulated on tbe cer
tainty that the citrus fair to open in Marys
ville on Monday, Tie 12th instant, will be
the most beautiful spectacle of iv kind ever
seen on earth. This may sound 3ike ex
travagance, but it is sober fact. Citrus faira
are confined to California and Florida, and
not before in Amerisa bas such pains been
taken or opportunity afforded for elaborate
arid artistic decoration and grouping of ex
hibits, such as will be seen in the pavilion
here next week. It will be a feast for the
eye; an astounding, enlrancing display of
beauty in foliage and fruit. Everybody in
the State should see it, for i' will be worth
a long journey to behold. It is to be a
prond week for Northern California, for
-Marysville is doing more than justice to
tbe occasion. Score* af entbusiastic-ladie.
are lending their skill and taste to volun
tary labors of adornment. Some idea of
tbe extent of tbe decoration may be gained
from the bare statement that thousands of
feet of evergreen "rope*—literally more
than a mile of it—has been made for fes
toons, wreaths and ornamental eflects, and
many thousands of oranges have bean used
in the ornamentation of the walls and ceil
ings.
Such beauty and fullness of decoration aa
will distinguish th".* fair bas never before
been attempted in displays of citni* fruits.
And the showing af fruit promises-!c be of
a completeness, merit and attractiveness
corresponding to the decorative effects.
Our citrus fair is to be a splendid object
lesson, combining edncation with enter
tainment; a world-beater and a glorr to the
State. '
