Chicago, Dec. 3. —General Miles ar
rived from Washington this morning.
He has decided to mount two infantry
regiments which have been ordered to
Omaha, the First from California, and
the Seventh from Denver.
Horses are being hastily got together
for the purpose.
General Miles this evening said it was
his intention to start for the northwest
in a few days. His visit will be for the
purpose of thoroughly organizing mat
ters and locating troops at available and
useful points.
Orders have been received from Wash
ington for the enlistment of 1200 Indians
for attachment to the various regiments
in the neighborhood of the Indian
troubles—two troops to each cavalry
regiment, and two companies to each
infantry.
Inspector-General Heyl, of the divis
ion of the Missouri, returned to head
quarters this morning, after an absence
of nearly two weeks in the northwest,
from Chicago.
"I went to Pine Ridge," said Colonel
Heyl. "When I readied there, on the
20th, I found the Indians quiet, and evi
dently inclined to be peaceful. No
doubt the rapid concentration of troops
at Pine Ridge prevented an outbreak.
Many reports sent by correspondents
were sensational and working great in
jury to the settlements. Many settlers
have sold their stock at a sacrifice, and
are leaving the country. I left Pine
Ridge night before last. It was snowing
hard and a blizzard was blowing, which
will, no doubt, cool the ardor of the
young bucks, while the older men are
pacific in disposition."
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 3. —A special from
Pine Ridge to the Bee says: Sleety
weather, and a driving storm of cutting
sleet prevails here. The troops are hug
ging their campfires. The Indians are
freezing in their tepees. Today Agent
Royer will call in all the Indians at the
agency and give them a big feed at the
storehouse., (Should the present storm
continue, aud particularly should there
be a heavy fall of snow, the ponies of the
tndians, whose hay has been stolen by
tiie hostiles, will die of starvation.
At the best this winter will be very
tough on tho copper-faces who have
bowed their heads to the government
rule in the present instance, while
their rebellious and thriving brothers
are living on tho fat of the land.
The Bee Pine Hidge correspondent
telegraphs tonight that the hostiles are
still making every effort to strengthen
their position in the Bad Lands. They
have the squaws at work digging lifle
pits along ali points where soldiers are
likely to come. They have all the cattle
they have stolen well into the interior of
the region for protection. The military
are still quiet."
Washington, Dec. 3.—General Scho
field received a telegram this morning,
saying that affairs were quiet and un
changed at Rosebud agency. Orders
were issued today for the First, Fifth
and Seventh regiments of infantry to
proceed at once to the scene of the
threatened outbreak.
San Francisco, Dec. 3. —In compli
anne with orders received from Major-
General Schofield at Washington, firiga
dier-General Gibbon, commanding the
division of the Pacific, today directed
Colonel William R. Shatter, command
ing the first infantry regiment, to pro
ceed with his regiment to Omaha,
Nebraska, tomorrow. Colonel Shatter
is directed to have his regiment fully
equipped for service in the field, includ
ing suitable tents for winter service.
The orders apply to all the
companies of the regiment ex
cept company F, which is stationed
at Fort Gaston. Two other companies,
C and D, are now stationed at Benicia,
and the remainder of the regiment is at
Angel island, in San Francisco bay.
Colonel Shatter is also directed to com
municate, en route, with General Miles,
at Chicago, so that further orders may
be received from General Miles by the
time the regiment reaches Cheyenne,
which will probably be Sunday next.
The quartermaster's department will
provide eleven tourist cars and one Pull
man to convey the troops, consisting of
310 men, besides the officers, to Omaha,
and the train, which will be a special
one, is expected to leave here early to
morrow morning.

FARMERS' ALLIANCE.
ADVANCED GROUND TAKEN BY
THE ORGANIZATION.
Strong Resolutions Against, the Force Bill
and Lotterif-s—Stanford's Money Loan
ing Scheme Endorsed.
Ocala, Fla., Dec. 3.—The sensation of
the morning session of the Farmers'
Alliance was when President Living
stone, of the Georgia alliance, arose to a
question oi privilege, and denounced as
'infamously false an insinuation in a cer
tain newspaper aimed nt Dr. AfcCJune
and himself, and even at President
Polk, in connection with the recent sen
atorial contest in Georgia. He demanded
the appointment of a fair and impartial
committee to thoroughly investigate the
charge?.
President Polk and Dr. McClune aIEO
spoke, and it was decided that a com
mittee of investigation should be ap
pointed to consist of one member of each
state delegation, to make a thorough
and searching investigation, in accord
ance witli the demand of the gentleman
concerned.
At the afternoon session McAllister,
of Mississippi, introduced a preamble
and a resolution, setting forth that the
president of the United States in his
annual message recommends and urges
the immediate passage of the Lodge
bill; that said bill involves a radical
revolution in the election machinery cf
the union, and its passage will be fatal to
the autonomy of the states and the cher
ished liberties of the citizens; that said
bill is partisan in speech, and will be
partisan in application, thus revolution
izing the hoary ghost of sectional es
trangement ; that the alliance has de
clared against sectionalism; that the
firesides of the farmers of the
north, east, south and west are
citadels around which battles are being
fought; "and to the end that victory
may~crown the crusade, and fraternity
and unity reign, be it resolved by the
national council of the Farmers' Alli
ance and Industrial Union of America,
in national council assembled, that we
do most solemnly protest against the
passage of said bill, and most earnestly
petition our senators to employ all finan
cial and legal means to defeat this un
patriotic measure, which can result in
nothing but evil to our common and be
loved country."
McAllister made a strong speech in
favor of the resolution.
Delegate Demig, of Pennsylvania, said
he regarded the introduction of the res
olution as untimely; that there was
largely prevalent at the north a feeling
that the Farmers' Alliance was a south
ern organization, and that the passage
of these resolutions would strengthen
their opinion aad check the growth of
the alliance in the north and east.
A delegate from Illinois expressed the
sentiment that he feared the adoption
of the resolution would confirm the
charge that the Farmers' Alliance is a
partisan body. "The alliance," he said,
is getting a grip in tbe west and in lo
calities where Republican sentiment is
strong. This action of the national or
der would tend to throw it into political
disrepute and stop its expansion over
the states in the west and northwest."
After several other speeches, however,
McAllister's motion to adopt the reso
lutions was put and carried unanimously
amid wild enthusiasm.
A resolution was also adopted denounc
ing the Louisiana lottery as a blow at
American civilization and morals, and
asking for the submission to the people
of America an amendment to the Ameri
can constitution prohibiting the opera
tion of lotteries in any state.
A resolution will be offered tomorrow
endorsing Senator Stanford's bill for
loaning money on land at 2 per cent,
interest, the mortgagee to run for thirty
years.

Associated Press Dispatches.
London, Dec. 3.—The meeting of the
Irish Nationalists to further consider
Parnell's leadership, reassembled at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
During the proceedings Parnell an
nounced that the sergeant-at-arms of
the house of commons had granted the
Irish members the use of the committee
room until 7 o'clock.
Healy disputed that the official had a
right to determine the length of the de
liberations and requested that'he be
notified to that effect.
Parnell declined the proposed message
as impertinent.
Objection was raised to telegrams
trom individuals being received during
the proceedings. During the discussion
a telegram personal to Parnell was read.
Sexton said he would persist to the
end in opposition to Parnell, despite the
ruffianly attacks made upon himself.
A dispatch was read declaring that the
tenants on the Smith-Barry estates were
with Dillon and O'Brien in opposition to
Parnell.
A telegram from the Belfast branch of
the National league, read, declared that
the members would have no leader but
Parnell.
Sexton, who represents the western
division of Belfast, said if the opinion of
the Belfast Nationalists was contrary to
his he would resign.
Clancy said he had a proposal to make,
which he hoped would insure a solution
of the difficulty.
Conversation ensued which resulted in
an adjournment until tomorrow, when
it is expected a compromise will be ar
ranged which will lead to entirely new
developments.
Clancy's motion involves the tempo
rary retirement of Parnell, subject to
certain conditions being exacted from
Gladstone in connection with his prom
ised home rule scheme.
Clancy's proposal has raised a hope
among the Nationalists that a unani
mous secernent will be effected. Lib
eral circles, however, do not share the
hope, the attitude and front of the op
Where Did You Get That Coat?
It is perfectly right for a man to ask
Such a question as that, and to take to task
A man so wretchedly clad.
No wonder his indignation rose,
When he looked at that shocking suit of clothes;
'Twas enough to make him mad.
While it might be a little difficult to guess where such
miserable attire came from, it is not at all hard to find out
where it did not come from. Such a suit as that was never
purchased aud never sold at the store of THE LONDON
CLOTHING COMPANY. They keep only such clothing
as will make a man presentable wherever he may go, and
you can depend on it their prices are right. They have the
best stock of RFBBER CLOTHING in the city.

position regarding Parnell being resolute
and unyielding.
Parnell has decided to state explicitly
whether he will retire from the leader
ship, but has also asked a day in which
to consider Clancy's proposal, which is
cleverly designed in Parnell's interest,
with the double object of gaining time
and putting the Sexton side further
wrong, in the event of the almost cer
tain refusal of Gladstone to give the re
quired pledges.
In the commons, today, the Irish land
purchase bill was passed to second read

ers vo ted with the government.
The News publishes a letter from
President Evans of the Liverpool Re
form club, who says Parnell conversed
freely with him after the meeting at
Hawarden, evidently being much im
pressed with Gladstone's cordiality, and
more still with the thoroughness of the
Liberal leader's proposals concerning
Ireland, which Parnell said went further
than proposals from any great English
statesman could be expected to go, and
meant a most satisfactory solution of
the Irish problem.
OPINION IN IRELAND
Divided as tn Parnell's Fitness to Lead
the Farty.
Dublin, Dec. 3. —At a meeting of the
Catholic hierarchy, at the residence of
Archbishop Walsh, today, it was re
solved to issue a manifesto, declaring
that the archbishop and bishops of Ire
land consider Parnell unfit to remain
the leader of the Irish party. Their ob
jections to Parnell are based on moral
grounds; but it is also the opinion of the
hierarchy that his continuance in the
leadership would inevitably cause dis
union in the party.
The poor law guardians of Strongtown,
Carrick and Boyle, have withdrawn
their confidence in Parnell.
The town council of Maryborough
adopted a resolution supporting Par
nell.
The opinion of the Nationalists in
county Tyrone in favor of Parnell is
growing stronger. William Reynolds,
who represents the eastern division, will
be summoned by his constituents to re
sign.
The Naas board of poor law guardians
has passed a vote of confidence in Par
nell.
Cork, Dec. 3. —The Nationalist mem
bers of the municipal council adopted
by a vote of 21 to 9, a resolution expres
sing confidence in Parnell and urging
him not to recognize any action by his
opponents adverse to himself. The" reso
lution was passed after a very hot and
noisy debate. The Catholic bishop of
Elphin, county Roscommon, has called
upon Parnell to resign.
Irish Envoys.
Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 3.—Two of the
Irish envoys, Gill and Sullivan, arrived
