INDIAN WAR CERTAIN.
GEN. MILES BAID TO CONSIDER
AN OUTBREAK INEVITABLE.
All Available Troops on the Pacific Coast
Ordered to Reinforce the Forces Mow
fa fiouth Dakota-Sitting Hull In*
trlguing In Indian Territory.
Washington, Dec. 2.-*Gen. Miles,
who has been in Washington since last
Saturday night, in daily consultation
with Secretary Proctor, Gen. Schofield
and Secretary Noble, upon matters re
lating to the Indian eituatiou in the
Northwest, has left for Chicago. The
general tielievos that danger is immi
nent.
“The seriousness of the situation," he
says, “has not boen exaggerated. The
disaffection in more widespread than it
ha* been at ucy time for years. The
conspiracy extends to more different
tribes than have heretofore been hostile,
but that, are now in full sympathy with
each other, and are scattered over a
larger area of country than in the whole
history of Indian warfare. It is a more
comprehensive plot than anything ever
inspired by the prophet Tecumseh or
even Pont mo. The causes of this diffi
culty art' easy of ■ location. Insufficient
food supplies, religious delusiou and the
innate disposition of the savage to go to
war must be held responsible.”
“Are the campaign preparations on
the part of the government complete?"
was asked.
“Not quite," replied the general. “Ev
erything will be ready iu a few days,
though. Tr<K>i« and supplies are en
route aud will be available speed
ily. All that is possible is being done to
euconrage the loyal and reduce the
number and influence of the hostiles,
and in this way an outbreak may be
averted. I sincerely hope there will be
r.o hostilities, for a general uprising
would be a most serious affair."
Fully 6,000 Fighting Men.
“How many Indians will you have to
contend with?”
“Altogether there are in the North
west about who are affected by
the Messiah craze; that means fully
6,000 lighting men. * Of this number, at
least one-third would not go on the war
path, so that leaves us with about 4,000
adversaries. There are 6,000 other In
dians in tbe Indian territory who will
need to be watched if active operations
take place. Four thousad Indians can
make an immense amount of trouble.
But a tithe of that number were con
cerned in the Minnesota massacre, yet
they killed more than 500 settlers in a
very brief space of time.”
INDIANS ASK FOR ARMS.
The Santee* Believe They Are in Danger
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 2. A Santee
Agency, Neb,, special says: The Santee
Indians at the agency have taken a now
turn in the threatened trouble in the
West. There are at that place a great
number who have served as scouts in
times past and who have incurred the
hatred of the wild Sioux, and they have
threatened their Jives if ever an out
break occurred. During the negotia
tions of the recent Sioux treaty every
measure for the benefit of the Santees
was vigorously opposed by the Ogalalla
and Cheyenne bands. This further
tended to keep up an unfriendly feeling,
and now the Santees, feeling unsafe,
have asked the government for arms to
protect themselves with in case of a
general outbreak among the Western
Sioux.
RUSHING REINFORCEMENTS.
All Available 1 roups on the l'aClda vw<»
San Francisco, Dec. B.— Orders were
received here for the First United
States infantry, now stationed at Angel
island, across the bay to proceed at once
to South Dakota to the troops
there. Gen. Gibbon, commanding the
department of the Pacific, has received
orders to detach all available troops in
Oregon and Washington,and rush them
to the seat of hostilities.
El Paso, Tex., Dec. o. —Col. Osborne,
commander at Fort Bliss, received or
ders from Gen. Stanley to have his
troops ready to march immediately.
Their objective point is supposed to be
South Dakota.
SITTING BULL IN THE SOUTH.
The Old Sinnrr Hu Id to He Conducting a
Dance Down lit the Indian Territory.
St. Louis, Dec. 3.— A special from
Fort Reno, I. T., to Gen. Wesley Mer
ritt, in command of the Deiwrtment of
the Missouri, says: Christ (lances are at
present being held at Washita river can
tonment and the Re<j Hills. The Red
Hills dance is being conducted by Sit
ting Bull iu person. A Northern Ara
pahoe who has been in the vicinity for
months claims to be disciple of the new
Christ. Sitting Bull has announced that
when the dance is completed he will re
turn to his home iu the North. As he
has already collected a herd of forty or
fifty ponies, presents from believers in
the new Christ, his announcement is
probably sincere.

STAMPEDED BY REDS.
Government Herders Driven Off by Sioux.
Indiana Killing Herds.
Pine Ridge Agency, 8. D., Dec. 2.
Scouts have been sent out to warn set
tlers along the line of the Cheyenne
river. The hostiles are on White river
at the month of Hay creek, seven miles
from the government herd of 5,000
cattle.
All the ranches on White river have
been robbed, ponies stolen and cattle
killed. Four spies sent out Friday morn
ing have not returned, and it is feared
they have been killed.
Signal fires north of the white river
announce the approach of the Chey
ennes. The hostiles sent word to the
friendly Indians that all spies would be
killed. Half-breed settlers are fleeing
to the agency, all reperting heavy losses
in cattle and ponies.
Government Cattle Stampeded.
At 6 p. m. John Dwyer, chief herder
of the government herd, arrived aud re
ported that for the last three days he
and his herders have been obliged to
camp on the buttes and keep a constant
guard oat to prevent being surprised
and assaulted by tbe Indians. Dwyer
reports that he and his herders found it
necessary La look out for their lives and
abandon the beef herd of about 8,000
head. These the Indians are killing for
present use, and driving into the Bad
Lauds for future consumption. Dwyer
reports to the agent that he does not
care to hold his ]*ositiou any longer, and
that there will be no beef for the issue
next week.
Ranchmen are also making a great
skirmish to get in their cattle and horses
to some safe quarters.
PARNELL OBSTRUCTING.
Hla Follower* Attempting to Postpone
tbe Crash att Long as Possible.
London, Dec. 2.— ln the Irish Na
tionalist meeting Tuesday forenoon,
when preliminary business had been
disjioseu of Mr. James J. O’Kelly ad
dressed his colleagues in defense of Par
nell. A recess was then taken for
luucheon. When the conference reas
sembled. Mr. Parnell, leaving the chair,
offered a motion that an adjournment
be taken to enable members to be pres
ent in the honae of commons to partici
pate in debate on the second reading of
the government's Irish land-purchase
bill. It is now quite manifest that no
stone will be left unturned by the par
tisans of Mr. Parnell to postpone indefi
nitely the decision of the party on the
question of that gentleman’s retirement
from its leadership. So true is this that
all hopes of reaching a decision on the
main question have been abandoned.
UNANIMOUS FOR PARNELL.
The National League Meeting at Dublin
Fndoraea the Irlnb Leader—. Several
Other Kndoracraenti.
Dublin, Dec. 2.— The national league
met in tegular weekly meeting in this
city. The proceedings were of a stormy
character. When the names of Sexton
and Healy were mentioned by the speak
ers they were greeted with hisses and
groans. A violent speech was made by
thecbaiiman iu favor of Mr. Parnell.
A resolution was moved by a Protestant
member and seconded by a Catholic
priest calling upon the people of Ireland
to come to the support of Mr. Parnell.
The resolution whs carried without a
dissenting vote.
The national league branches at Bal
lyanders have telegraphed Mr. Finucane
that he ninst choose between the alterna
tive of resigning his seat in parliament
or supporting Mr. Parnell. The board
of guardians at Abbeyleix. Queens
county, have decided to stand by Par
nell. A} Rathcormack and Charlevitle,
Cork county, the national league
branches have passed resolutions endors
ing the position assumed by Mr. Par
nell.
THRESHING MACHINE TRUST.
On* Being Formed with a Combined
Capital of •30,000.000.
Chicago, Dec. l.—The Times says
the threshing machine men of the
United States have caught the infection
from the brothers of the mower and
binder trade and are fonniug a gigan
tic trust, which it is thought will rival
in magnitude the recently formed Amer
ican Harvester company. Negotiations
are now going on in this city between
the representative men in the threshing
machine interest. It is known that a
temporary organization lias been
effected and that very soon articles of
incorjioration will be filed covering the
combine with a capital stock of at least
$20,000,000. H. C. Fogel, of the Minne
sota Engine and Threshing company is
engineering the deal. The utmost se
creey is being observed, and every at
tempt is made to keep the matter from
the public,

WORK OF CONGRESS.
ELECTION BILL TAKEN UP IN
THE SENATE.
A Number of Unimportant Bills Passed.
Copyright BUI Under Discussion In tbe
Heuse—Free Silver Coinage Bills In
troduced—Preparations fer Re appor
tionment.
Washington, Dec. 2.—After the re
port of the secretary of the treasury and
a number of petitions had been pre
sented and referred the senate passed
the following bills: Senate bill to reim
burse the Miami Indians for money
($01,780) improperly withheld from
them; senate bill appropriating $75,000
for a public building at Staunton, Va.;
senate bill donating *o Challam county,
Washington, for public buildings the
proceeds of the sale of certain public
lands.
The senate passed a resolution asking
the secretary of war for information
about the steps taken to disarm Indians
in Nebraska, South Dakota and North
Dakota; also a resolution instructing the
foreign relations committee to inquire
into the advisability of authorizing a
cable to Hawaii. Several other minor
measures were passed, and then the sen
ate by a party vote, (41 to 80), took up
the federal election bill. At 3 o’clock,
by another party vote, the senate laid
aside the unfinished business and con
tinued the rending of the bill. At the
conclusion of the reading the senate ad
journed.
Free Sliver Coinage.
Two bills to provide for the free coin
age of silver were introduced in the sen
ate. One by Senator Teller and the
other by Senator Plumb. Senator Tel
ler said to a United Press reporter: “We
will undoubtedly put a free coinage bill
through the senate at this session and I
think it will go to the president. Of
course I am not so confident of the ac
tion of the house but the senate will
certainly i>ass a free coinage bill.
Copyright Dili Under Consideration.
Washington, Dec. B.— The house
passed the bill referring the claim of
the Chesapeake Female college to the
court of claims.
The copyright bill was called up, and,
after a number of dilatory motions had
been disused of, the previous question
was ordered, 106 to 78 and tbe house
then adjourned, leaving the bill as un
finished business.
The proposition of the bill is to permit
foreigners to take American copyright
on the same basis a* American citizens
in three cases: First —When the nation
of the foreigner permits copyright to
American citizens on substantially the
same basis as its own citizens; second
when the nation of the foreigner gives
to American citizens copyright privileges
similar to those provided for in this bill;
third—when the nation of the foreigner
is a party to uji international agreement
providing for reciprocity in copyright,
*)\ the terms of which agreement the
United Stales cau become a party
thereto at its pleasure. A subsidiary
but important proposition of the bill is
that all Inxilcs copyrighted under the
proposed act shall be printed from type
set wdhiu tbe United States or from
plates made therefrom.
