BTARDIHS BOOK AOKKCY, N. D,, Special
Telegram, DM. 2.—The seat of war has
bMB removed to Washington, so far as I
era lean. Whether Gen. Miles made a
mistake in giving Cody his wide-open com
as baton or not is something for the ftiture
to determine. Suffice it as a bit of general
news to say that Sitting Boil has not been
arrested, nor is he liable to be for some
time.
We left Fort Ystes before noon yesterday
and by 2 p. ni. were within Bye or six miles
Of Oak Creek, our point of approach. En
route we met the agency interpreter, Louis
Primeau, who reported that Sitting Bull
bad camped at Oak Creek the night betore
(Friday) and most have reached the agency
by noon of Saturday.
Arriving at Holsey's ranch, four
miles from Standing Kock, we sent Pony
Bob, a rather celebrated character (who
carried the news of Lincoln's election from
the California border to 'Frisco, 101 miles,
in eight and one-half boure), to Yates to
get the truth. He returned as fast as horse
flesh would allow with a note Irom Col.
Drum, of the Twelfth infantry, commander
of Fort Yates, saying:
Dear Colonel: I have sent two courier* after
you, but they have mined you. I hope you an
comfortable. The order to arreat Sitting Bull
has beni suspended. There is a report that
fiittlng Bull is to come in to the post. He could
not be arrested now should he come.
1 learn upon arrival hete that Maj. Mc
Laughlin was much sttnrlsed at the mis
sion of Colt Cody. He believed that he
should have been allowed to make the ar
rest through the agency of his Indian police,
and felt himself fVilly master of the situa
tion on Standing Rock reservation, but felt
that the time for Sitting Bull's arrest had
not yet come. Gen. Ruger, commanding
the department of Dakota, shared the con
victions of-Agent McLaughlin, and it is be
lieved felt some resentment in that Gen.
Miles had given Cody an important mili
tary commission and had ignored him
(Ruger) completely.
Cody and I)r. Powell have cone back.
Sitting bull is not coming in. So far as
.heard from, the religiously frantic reds are
still dancing, and if they would kindly
cateh cold an&die, owing to over-exertion
and exposure, the equation would be
solved. Ad interim, treat with shadows of
doubt stories of massacres, cavalry raids,
treaties, and all that genus. A bit of bliz
zard would be wholesome, but, even with
out winter's chiljing.blast, we of the great
Sioux reservation are not likely to near
more horrors akin to those of'72 and '7G.
AT PINE RIDGE.
bj Some
Galling Inactivity Aroused
Spirited Ramon.
PINE KIDOB AGENCY, S. D., Special Tele
gram, Dec. 2.—The situation at Pine Ridge
continues to be in a very unsatisfactory
condition. No one seems to know whether
the military are up here for their health or
for service. The principal work for cor
respondents is to investigate the dozen dif
ferent daily rumors and try to avoid send
ing out unnecessary alarms.
A synopsis of the situation, as it appears
to-day, is that there are between 3,000 and
4,000 Rosebud Indians wandering over the
Pine Ridge agency helping themselves to
anything that they can carry, and sending
back insolent messages to orders sent out
by scouts ordering them to come into Pine
Ridge.
Tne agency is once more worked up to
great excitement by reports brought in since
supper by a portion ot a scouting party that
was sent out this morning. The report is
that the Rosebuds are now in the Bad
Lands, having advanced twenty miles to
day, and that they have driven off with
them all the horses and cattle from ranches
belonging to the following men: Batitz.
Pierau, Charley Cooney, Billy McGaw,
Dick Stirks, William Vailandran and Yel
low Bird. The number of horses that they
havl stolen is estimated at from 400 to 500.
The scouts also bring word that the Rose
buds met Little Wound's band and forced
them to join with the marauders, and that
they are now all together. Two policemen,
Guy Belt and Red Hawk, sent out from
here yesterday, have not been heard of but
the scouts report that a Rosebud policeman
who was riding a pony from this agency
had his horse shot Irom under him this
morning when he interfered with the Rose
buds for impressing Little Wound's band.
"Will the cavalry ever move?" is the ques
tion now uppermost at Pine Ridge agency.
VJSBY MUCH ALARMED.
8ettlers on the North Dakota-Hontana
Border Fear Kvil Work.
DICKINSON, N. D., Special Telegram, Dec.
2.—The Indian troubles are causing much
alarm to settled in remote places west of
here. The citizens of Belfield, twenty miles
west, were surprised yesterday to see set
tlers with their families coming from all
directions, very much scared, they having
heard that Indians were campeu on the
Grand river fifty miles south.
The situation was so alarming that a
leading citizen arrived here from Belfield
to-day to consult with the authorities and
learn the truth of the situation. Your cor
respondent has good authority for saying
that bands of Indians are congregating in
the Grand river district and act suspiciously.
Amass meeting was held at Belfield this
aiternoon and a delegation will be sent to
confer with the governor.
THE CANADIAN BEDS.
Xalk of Thelr Coralng Over the Bound
ary Line.
WlJfNrpitG, Special Telegram, Dcc. 2.—A
Regina paper says:
It is altogether probable that the Indians in
Canada are aware of what the redskius in the
Dakotas and Nebraska are doing at the present
time, and that they are at least aware ol the
messianic craze which is creating such commo
tion among the Indians. Ale.wdays ago a Sioux
aquaw in town said that next season was going
to be a wet one here that the Indians were ail
going to move to the other side ol the line, and
that everybody who remained here would be
changed Into Huh. The squaw said that the In
dians were all to gather at a certain place, which
coincides with what is said by Short Bull, who
claims to be the messlah or Hiawatha.
They Congratulate Ilnd.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Dec. 2.
—Representative Lind of Minnesota, accom
panied by Mrs. Lind and their children,
reached Washington to-night. They arc at
the National hotel, where they will make
their home for the winter. As Mr. Lind
entered the hotel lobby a group of mem
bers, including Blonnt, Shively, Green and
two or three others, chanced to be there
and they gave him a reception such as is
given to the few Republicans who pulled
through at the election. They congratu
lated nim on his good- luck and then took
turns explaining how it all happened in
their districts.
Board of'Control.
CHICAGO, Special*—Rumor atthenatfonal

President Palmer has announced liis ap

the express conditions: of the act of the
commission Mr. Palmer.and Col. McKenzle

other-members will, it is reported, be: Gov.
Waiier of Connecticut, Judge Lindsay of
Kentucky, and Gen. St. Clair of West Vir

According to different authority Messrs. De

night and the robbers were captured bare

Just s* the train enteredthe Bogus Chltto
•waai|i» .a tog* heavy man, with a red
bandaAa handkerchief over his face as a
masli effected an entrance into the mail
car and covered the mail agent with a big
revolver. The mail and express are carried
in the ordinary cars In use on small roads,
one-half the car being devoted to the ex
S'w.WOt, a door leading from one into
the other.
The ni«ll agent was standing with his
back to the door and was not aware of the
presence of the robber unUl he felt the cold
perrel of a revolver against the back of his
bead. The robber told the clerk that he
did not want anything from him, but that
Jf must precede him into the express car.
The agent's only alternative was to complr
with this request or be shot. Once in the
express car the robber requested the express
messenger in alike manner and made him
deliver up his money package. They then
jumped off the train, leaving the agenta too
badly irightened to stop tne train and at
tempt capture. All the money packages
with one exception were transferred at
Winona for New Orleans and the robbers'
haul was light, only one psckage contain
ing about $850 being secured. The agents
gave as good a description of the robbers as
possible.
This aiternoon a man answering the de
scription of the robber got on the train at a
small station west ot here. Arriving at
West Point, the conductor informed Agent
Evans of the robbery and pointed out the
man who answered the description. The
fellow at once took to his heels and en
deavored to get awav. Marshal Stacy end
several others started out to capture him
and were successful in catching him near
the city limits. The fellow had been Joined
by a pal, and both were arrested and taken
to jail. When searched, considerable plun
der was found on the suspect. Both men
are now in jail and will be held nntil the
mail and express agents can be brought
here to identity them. The officers are con
fident that they have the right men.
THE TBOOPS AT KEOGH.
Several More Companies Arrive—Will
the Cheyennes Be Removed?
FORT KEOOH, Special Telegram, Dec. 2.
—Two more companies of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, Capt. Roe and Lieut. Loughbor
ough, with Col. Van Horn in command,
arrived here early this morning. Capt
Adams'troop of the First cavalry came in
this afternoon. There are in all lour com
panies of the Twentv-fifth infantry under
command of Col. Van Hom, two troops ol
the Eighth cavalry and one of the First,
and three companies of the Twenty-second
infantry. Col. Swain arrived to-day and
will resume command. Two more troops
of cavalry are en route, and on their arrival
the fighting force of Fort Keogh will con
sist ot seven companies of infantry and five
troops of cavalry. The two companies ol
the Twenty-second infantry whicn started
Friday to Fort Lincoln and were ordered
back, left again for that post at 10 o'clock
this morning on a fast train.
Rumor has it that the large
concentration
of troops at this point has a view to remov
ing the Cheyennes from their present res
ervation to that determined upon by the
Cheyenne commission which met here last
month and acted upon their case.
AN OUJKAGE.
A Fort Inspector Maltreated by Spanish
Smugglers.
PUKTA GOBDO, Fla., Dec. 2.—News has
just reached here of an outrage committed
by Spanish smugglers on the port sanitary
inspector in Charlotte harbor. His name
is Morris Cochran, on appointee of the
state board of health. He boarded a Span
ish schooner, and when asked to show his
papers the crew seized him and threw him
overboard, afterwards cutting his boat
loose. With much difficulty he reached
the shore. The schooner sailed off and her
name conld not be learned.
The state health officer, Porter, has made
an official complaint to the treasury de
partment, and the marine hospital service
besides notifying the state department that
league limit. Cuba has placed a high duty
on American fish, and this, with violations
of the law, has broken up the export fish
business irom Key West, which formerly
amounted to $100,000 or more annually,
and the state health .board asks tor a coast
patrol. A revenue cutter is insufficient.
DEFENDED HIS MOTHER.
A Helena Man Shot, Perhaps Fatally,
After Firing at a Woman.
HELENA, Mont., Special Telegram, Dec.
2.—Charles Thomas was shot and proba
bly fatally wounded to-day by the son of a
woman with whom he had been living and
whom he has been trying to force into a
marriage with him. Thomas was arrested
last night tor drunkenness, and released on
bail. To-day when he approached the
house the woman came out on the porch.
He grappled with her and pulling a pistol
aimed at her head, which he held under
his arm, and fired. The ball passed through
her ear, inflicting a slight wound. The
woman's son rushed out of the house and
fired.at Thomas, hitting him in the bead
and inflicting a wound from which his re
covery is pronounced extremely doubtful.
Gan. Miles In Consultation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Gen. Miles, who
is to take care of the crazy Sioux Indians
and keep them from scalping the palefaces,
according to their supposed plans, arrived
here last night. When the Indians be
gan to show a disposition to carry things to
a dangerons extreme with their ghost dances
Gen. Miles, in command of the department
of the Missouri, asked permission to corny
to Washington and consult with Gen. Scho
field, his superior officer, and Secretary
Proctor. Almost immediately upon his
arrival. Gen. Miles called upon Gen. Scho
field and had long consultations, both at
Gen. Schofield's house and at Gen. Miles'
rooms at the Ebbit house. The
conierence was resumed to-day but
just what conclusions have been reached
is not known yet, as G»n. Miles denied
himself to reporters to-night. There is no
doubt, however, that plans have been out
lined for a decisive movement against the
Indians if necessary. It is believed that the
extended consultations related less to steps
to prevent an outbreak now, as everything
possible has been done to this end already,
than to plans of campaign in case of a gen
eral Indian war.

London, Dec. 2.—Mr. Parnell.br tele
graph, invited those of his colleagues who
wera fcvorable to his retention of the lea
dershlp to meet h|m Saturday evening at
the Westminster Palace hotel. Twenty
lour of those invited met Mr. Parnell and
together they discussed the situation. Mr.
Parnell informed those present of the rela
tions between himself and the Ltberal lead
ers and expressed a determination to fight
to the last.
Another canvass of the Parnellite party
was made yesterday for the purpose of
forecasting the result of the vote to betaken
at to-morrow's meeting regarding Mr. Par
nell's retention. It showed that Messrs.
Jnstin Huntley McCarthy, McNeill, Mc
Kenna and Tuite are now pledged, against
Parnell, and Messrs. Leamy, James P.
O'Gorman-Mahon and Clancy for him. It
is estimated that forty-eight members of
the party will vote against Mr. Parnell and
twenty-four for him. The votes of seven
are doubtful. This estimate does not in
clude the delegates now in America.
Rumors are current to-night that Mr.
Parnell has been during the day in private
consultation with two members of the Sal
isbury cabinet^ one of them Lord Kniits
ford, who is known to possess the peculiar
personal confidence of Lord Salisbury.
Nothing is known as to the object or mean
ing of the consultation, but surmises are
afloat, apparently countenanced by promi
nent Conservatives, that an understanding
may be arrived at between Lord Salisbury
and Mr. Parnell, the former to pass the land
purchase bill as amended in accord with
Mr. Parn ell's views, and also to concede at
least partial home rule to Ireland, in the
form of provincial councils for tne admin
istration of the local affairs of the several
provinces. This would be satisfactory to
Ulster, and allay the strenuous opposition
which home rule has encountered in that
section of Ireland.
Mr. Gladstone and Sir William Vernon
Harcourt were in conference Saturday. It
is understood that Harcourt will lead the
Liberal side of the debate in the house of
commons this week.
Then is a rumor that Mr. Parnell has
offered to retire voluntarily if Mr. Glad
stone will sign a paper pledging himself to
include in his next home rule bill certain
points specified by Pamell.
The question of expelling Mr. Parnell
from membership, will be brought before
the committee or the National liberal club.
Timothy Harrington has wired the Dub

AND NOW HOBLIT.
He, Like Oladktone. Denies Statement#
Made by the Irish leader.
LONDON, Dec.2.—Mr. Morley writes to
the press as follows:
The manifesto ot Ur. Parnell contains two or
three statements affecting me which I desire
without losa of ttme to correct.
First—Imadeno sort ot attempt to fetter
Mr. Parnell'a action with reference to the land
bill. He agreed with me in all our conversations
that the bill ought to be opposed as omiting the
priucipie of local control and for other reasons
speciiied in his speech of April 21. The only
question was as to the form of motion for the
rejection of the bill. I pointed out to him on
AP'l1..1.4,
tbat»
many Liberals objected to
tne(bill, an amatiQxiiet&t suiting their reasons
would be less suitable than a motion for its
rejection simpliclter. Parnell assented. Two
days later be explained to me his alternative
plan for fining down rents, and this
ut his request was immediately com
municated to Ur. Gladstone. The same evening
I wrote to Parnell that Mr. Gladstone felt that
we could have nothing to Bay about his plan,
Dne way or another, but that, of course, he was
perfectly free to propound It on his own responsi
bility, so completely did we recognize that our
•elations with the Irish party were those of an
••dependent alliance and not ot a fusion.
Second—Mr. Parnell Imputes to me in ourcon
rersation of Nov. 10, five days betore the pro
wedings in court were begun, a remarkable pro
posal with the object of absorbing the Irish
party into English politics by means of office. I
nade no proposal. It was natural that in a
free, confidential discussion ot the possible
future, I should wish to make sure tor Mr. Glad
stone's Information that Parnell still held to his
self-denying declaration ot 1880. His answer to
my inquiry waa what I fully anticipated.
Third—Mr. ParnelTa account of what passed
on the aame occaalon on the subject of evicted
tenants on the plan of campaign estates is
wholly incorrect. I observed that some direct
action might become necessary. Though I fore
saw difficulties lu the way ot legislation, I never
said that I or any of my colleagues had formed
any conclusions against legislation. I never said
or hinted that it would be impossible for an
Irish parliament to do anything in the matter.
I did say that, whether by direct or indirect
action, evicted tenants ought not to be allowed
to suffer. Aa to Tipperary, there is all the dif
ference between a sensible perception of diffi
culties and the despair which Mr. Parnell
ascribes to me.
Mr. Gladstone is well able to deal with his
own share of the manifesto, but I am bound to
say that on Nov. 10 I was under the most dis
tinct impression that Mr. Parnell did not ob
ject to the suggestions thrown out at Hawarden
year ago as subjects for provisional examina
tion, if. those suggestions were likely to make
the scheme generally acceptable to Great'
Britain.
SAID BY GLADSTONE.
(•arnell's Manifesto Widens the Oalf
Made by Becent Disclosures.
LONDON, Dec. 2.—Mr. Gladstone, writing
to Mr. Mel lor, the Liberal candidate at
Bassetlaw, says:
Mr. Paraell's manifesto baa widened the gulf
made by recent disclosures and separated him
from the Liberal party, who have now to con
sider the gnat and noble cause ot justice for Ire
land apart from any individual name. But I
am glad to think, so far as appears, there will
not be a severance between us and the Nation
alist party, for Mr. Parnell throws over his col
leagues. He acknowledges In them no right or
autborHSXts'and goes past the constitutional
representatives ot liis couiitrv in bis fancied ap
peal to the nation which' had chosen them to

Tbis Should Have Weight.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.—The Parnell
branch of the Irish National league to-day
adopted a resolution calling upon Mr. Par
nell to retire from the leadership of the
Irish parliamentary party, and the secreta
ry was directed to telegraph the resolution
to Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, who are in
Chicago, and to the Irish leaders in Lon
don. This branch is one of the oldest in
this country and has been regarded as one
of the most important. It reached its de
cision to-day after a discussion lasting tor
more than an hour.
Burning of Propeller.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 2.—The propeller
Cormorant of Buffalo burned at the Ohio

The fire caught in the oil room in some un

Those who fulfilled their engagement made
for the party, a fortnight or more ago to
dine with lbs. Parnell were Dillon, T. D.
Sullivan, who agreed to the paper against
her son, and Timothy Harrington, whose
sense of persona! loyalty, it was reported,
was too strong to down, even though it
isolated him completely from his fellows.
So far as could be learned Mrs. Parnell
mercifully knew nothingoi what was being
done in the closed room down town. The
dinner had a score or more persons pres

strangely unreal.
After the dinner, at which there was no
speechmaking, the company adjourned
to the parlors, and whether by chance or
for what reason sang "God Save Ireland"
and "Deep in Canadian Woods." Shortly
after tbis John Dillon withdrew and hur
ried back to the hotel. The manifesto to
which his name was attached had already
been nearly all given out as it was written,
a few sheets at a time. The bulk of the
document was at that very moment on the
desks in the London newspaper offices,
where it had been cabled word by word as
rapidly as it crossed the threshold of the
room where O'Brien, Gill and O'Connor
were weighing their phrases.
O'Brien was deeply agitated during the
writing. His cheeks were ..feverish in ap
pearance and his voice, whether from emo
tion or the tax of his speeches the night be
fore, was broken and choked. Gill looked
very white, and, like O'Brien, seemed deep

temperament better than any of the others.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Arehblshop Walsh and Othera Express
Forcible Opinions.
DUBLIN, Dec. 1.—In an interview Arch
bishop Walsh, referring to his rccent letter
on the Parnell difficulty, says:
Tbeletter was guarded because Mr. Parnell
bad not then spoken. But now Ms manifesto
etmbles me to speak more plainly. Unless Mr.
Paraell clears himself ot tbe charge ol adultery.
Archbishop Walsh speaks only of the
moral aspect of the manifesto, saying that
he leaves its political bearings to the Irish
members.
John O'Leary, the Fenian, In an inter
view thus refers to Mr. Parnell:
Though I never was Parnell'a follower, I say
Parnell is the only fit leader of the Nationalists.
It is stupid to abandon him because Gladstone
screeches. Gladstone's revised scheme can sat
isfy no possible party in Ireland.
LONDON, NOV. 30.—Dr. Parker, of the City
Temple^ said in his sermon to-day that
every line of Pamell's manifesto showed
that the writer of it was mad. Gladstone
must be simply heartbroken. As for home
rule, it was dead, and nothingcould revive
it during this generation. The non-con
formists bitterly repented that they ever
touched it under the delusion that they
were dealing with aman of simpleand pure
patriotism.
Michael Davitt was to-day shown a tele*
the leadership
was an impossibility. He said:
I never doubted the decision of Dillon and
0 Brien when the case was fully before them.
It must nave cost them much pain to arrive at
such a decision. Its weight with the Irish peo-
S•rough
le will be immense. The party has come
the ordeal with the greatest honor, and
1 believe it will remain united and independent.
Its claim to the confidence ot Irish
men is stronger than ever. I cannot
,to° .hl*b!y the many who risked
the closing of their parliamentary career and
stood true to Ireland in this trying crisis. Their
... Wi,
be forgotten. With regard to
Jieveltwill be prao
tlcally unanimous. A few may join Parnell'a
treason. But it speaks well for thi
of all that no hard word has been
those who previousl'
be patriotism
said so that
those who previously supported him may still
take the patriotic side without loss of dignity.
If Parnell remains in parliamentand is hostile
to the Irish party, he will be an intolerable
menace to their efficiency and unity. Ireland to
a man will repudiate him, and Cork will do Its
duty. Home rule must not further be endan
gered by misplaced generosity toward him or
those who may uphold his effort to smash the
party. Mr. Gladstone is more than ever bound
to the Irish people and their cause. They have
given proof throiish their representatives of
faith in his resolve to give them agenerous home
rule, and he will not disappoint such confidence.
His haud will be strengthened in England by
Parnell'a ill-aimed shaft. Altogether tbe posi
tion 1b clearer and more bopetul. As for Tar
pell, though he has lost Irelnud's confidence, ha
still retains hergratitude. But it he makes any
further attempts to disturb the party he will be
crushed.
Cork Disappointed.
CORK XOV. 30.—It was expected that Mr.
Parnell would arrive in this city at 2 o'clock
this morning and a large crowd gathered
to await his coming. The mayor and a
committee of the National league were in
waiting to present him with an address
of welome and confidence, and a
thousand persons bearing torches and ac
companied by several bands of music were
line. When the hour for his arrival had
passed and it was found that he had not
come, great disappointment was expressed
by his waiting supporters. After giving
hearty cheers for Parnell the crowd dis
persed.
Suspending' Judgment.
DUBLIN, NOV. 30.—National league meet
ings held yesterday at Limerick. Kilkenny,
Monaghan and elsewhere voted to support

you were learning your letters very fcu

"But it isn't any more, papa," the
small bov answered. "I 'cided to call it q."
''decided to call it q? What fort"
Well, I can't remember very well.and
the round letter is easy to tell, so I 'cided to
call it so that I should know it."
"But you can't change the names of tha

"Why, papa," returned Percy, appal

letters got their names, and you aaid folks
just 'cided what to call 'em, and I have

His father saw that the boy was really in "l
earnest and not in the least inclined to be

laughed and sat himself down to explain
