Th Oullty Reported Kille I.
Capt. Frown doei not anticipate any
farther trouble. It is reliably re
ported that police tried to arrest
the pnllty partita thin ufternoon
a od khled Two Strikes, his two son
and White Face Horse. New of tho
Indian di.'hculty was it rat conveyed to tho
officers of the department of that l'latte by
a lirt reporter, (ien Frooke and hit en
tire start" were at a photograph unliery at
the time and );ii-riil y esprened the
opinion ttiat tiiere roul I be no foundi

He pave an a reaaon for this fact that
Two Strikes ami hie band belonged at

the killing
Col. Slieridan hurried to tho l.ovfqunr

truth of the run. or. He r.'ro sent
a aiudlar tnepa;e to Maj. Wriwbt at

hberidau said it seemed improhahle that
anything very extensive or ecrious could
have taken place, for if on outbreak hi
occurred, the Sfnts at i'iie Ilidi
won:d have telegraphed the nrwi

be in Iiushvillo in abut ten hours. The
troop wou d have to march from Knsh

miles. There are sixty Indian
pi.liremeri at Pint I.ide agency, and
nix. ut th same number to Rosebud. Gen.
Ürooke said to a reporter of the lief that
lie had roceived the newa of tho killing
of tha four white men and two In
dien at the beef camp known as
Humphrey'! ranch, twenty-live mi'ea
northwest of l'ine Ridge azeacy. The
rews bad been brought to the teleirrph

vended, so tt:e general eeeiped to think it
had ben a drunken row between cow

l'resident Harris ni'f action in appointing a
southern stste rights democrat tj this hirt
court ot last resort, in the prciant ciitlcal
national situation, Is a gross betrayal
of public trust and party fsilb. In

parly perfidy little short of a moral crime.

protect the lives of bts own cahiuel in the dia

of the victims were left to a bitter life of pov

demned, whether this act of President
Harrison the greatest solecism io party pollilos
ever oommbud by any preaideut, and tbe
first Instance since the foundation of the re
pub lean party of a president selecting for
the supreme court a man of opposite puiaiotl
parly was done in personal pnjue over bis

the republiean seua:e owes it to the
party of Lincoln, Grant and lilaine

eon firm it would be le confess rspublieialsm a
sham and all its glorious principles eauting
hypocrisy. For any senstorof republican faith
to vote for it is to stultify himself and his
party as much as if he had voted for
Cleveland in November, If demo
rrats and unrecanted believers lo
secession and state rights and free tra.le and
hatred of the ttulon siddier raty be appointed
to the euprcne bench by a republican presi

there would seem to have come a time wbeu

CLEVELAND'S LiUSY DAY,
He Had Many Callers nnd Conferences a
Well.
New York, Feb. 1. Special. Mr.
Cleveland's last businsps day in the city
before hi departure for Washington to be
Inaugurated as president wai a bney one.
lie cumo in on Ti carl v train, as ho lias
been doing for the pat two weeks, and
found plenty of callers awaiting hie arri
val, and aa far as possible he saw every
body that came. In the afternoon a Ion?
conference woi held with ex-Secretary
Faircbild, ex-Mayor Oraco and Oswald
Oltendorlor. These gentlemen were ac
cords'! all the time they wanted and no
doubt diecupied fu ly all the different
question! in which they wer interested.
He left t!ie oflice about 4 o'clock, iceing
State Senator McClellarpl for a few min
utea. He waa accompanied on hie return
to Fakewood by his old postmaster-general,
Don M. Dickinson, who, during the
past fortnight, has made several aimilar
journeys.
As he has already announced this la Mr.
Cleveland's last business day it tho city
before bis departure for Washington for
the inauguration eierciaea. He will, por
baps, he compelled to return to the city
two or three times, but, if ao, it will be to
attend to matters rsiju ring personal at
tention, and he will not go to bia oillce
nor receivo visitor. It in certain that his
plans at Lakewood will make. It lmpoibld
for him to aoe any considerable number
of ca lere. He has reched just such a
place in his work that he ran now go
on and complete it Thus far he baa had
no opportunity to think of bis inaugural
add re, or ol tho policy to be pursued on
a good many important queaiioua that are
either continuous In their inteent or cer
tain to arise immediately after his as
!umptioa of office. Jie baa laid to iome
of his best friends that he wül not be able
to give them any special time or attention
during tbe next fonr weeks.
Congressman O'Ferral waa in the city
today and called upon Mr. Cleveland, al
though he ineirtted that he had no cabinet
appointments to urge. Mr. OTerrai ia
the moat prominent candidate for the suc
cession to the governorship in hi state, and
haa long been regarded as a strong free
silver advocate. Today he said on this
question: "As to piiverlegielation in con
gress, if tbe Andrewa silver bill could ever
be brought to a vote in the house. 1 think
it would pass. Tbe free coinaire members
will vote against it and doubilees filibuster
all they can. I doubt very much whether
it w ill come to a vote this eesMon unless
some kind of a cloture rule is put in oper
ation. I am not eo rabid for free coinage.
Tbcu. I waa're-electod two years ago and
my constituents instructed me to vote for
free coinage, and I did so. But since that
time a decided revolution ha "taken
placo in tbe eentiment of the peo
ple in luv district. They thought
two yenra ago that free i ver would
be the wav to relieve the money situation,
but now, they have modified their views
greatly on the mbject. They want a good
dollar now. and they are net anxious for
fiee coinage. In other sections of the
Jrouth the aenlirnont in favor of fro ilu,r
has changed. There I the ultra advocate
of free Kilver, Congressman Fiorce of
Tennessee, who even failed to r ecu re a re
nomination the last time and thinking tho
free silver element wa strong enough to
elect hitn, ran a an independent. Ho
was badly defeated, showiug that ho mis
took the real eentiment of tbe pcop e.
Other extreme free silver men in tho
South have found that their constituent
are not extrem sts on the eulject. 1 hxve
not decided yet how 1 will vote on tho
Andrew eilver bill. 1 certainly would
like to sen the Sherman ailver purchase
act r'pnled and Ica pilver coined. I
should be willing to v. do for a rv.enpur
that w ould rep I it and restore the Wand
act. Then instead of MXXM.K) being
coined monthly only f.'.UtXl.OUO would be
coined."
Mr. O'Ferral'said that tho anti-option
bill would certainly pas if it camo to a
vote by two lo one. lie favornd an oarly
extra session in order to begin work im

in connection with bis duties aa circuit

members of the bar wjjh whom bo haa al

no communication with the president

hope. I wart not consulted, aud ae

the matter. I have no i loa who will be.
my aucewbsor, but 1 would like to say a
word about nn item I saw in a morning
paper. It wua said whuu I wa appointed
that Harri-iou might appoint his old
law partner, (ien. Miller, to the
place I vncated. .Now, aa a
matter of fact, such a thing is imponsillo,
even bad the president dcfired it. My
succehior must e taken from my own dis
trict, (ien. Miller Is of the seventh dis
trict and ia not e igiblo."
"Do you think the president should
hum let Cleveland mako tho appoint
meiit?"
"Not at all. It Is ne new thing for a re
tiring president to make such appoint
ments. President John Atfmi'i
appointed Chief Justice Mar
ahull only two days before the
inauguration of Thomas JoUerson, who
objected to such action aerlouely, and
l'resideut Jackson appointed Justice Car
ton and bad him continued on the morn
ing of March 4, onlv a few hours
before ho ' retired from the pres
idency. The appointment of a
democrat by republican president
see. is a good step to ward removing the
court sti I further iro'n the realm of Col
inen, with w hich it ahould not have tho
leant connection."
