Gov. Clough last evening said there
whs very little that was new from the
l if the Indian disturbances. Yes
terday ar'ternoon he had sent instruc
tions to Maj. Libbey, in command of
the two batteries, directing that a por
tion of Maj. Libbey's command be sent
south along the line of the Brainerd
«?v; Northern extension, but later he re
oelved the following telegram from Maj.
Libbey, after reading w r hlch he coun
termanded his former instructions:
- Lake, Minn.. Oct. 11.— D. M. Clough,
i St. Paul: It is suicide to divide
my command as ordered. Cass Lake !s tba

towns. Will obey orders unless sounter
xnand.d. —Maj. Ed. Libbey, Commanding.
The governor slates that he will find
troops of some sort with which to meet
the demand and will leave Maj. Libbey
Where he now is.
Earlier in the day the governor re
ceived the following message from
Adjt. Gen. Muehlberg from Walker,
Minn:
He.d council with several chiefs ?t Indian
bands and all profess peace. I will report in

The following telegram was received
Irom Robert Dunn, postmaster at Ak

The following letter was received
from S. S. McKinley, of Osage, Becker

Th. situation is, I think, on tho rat side

Whisky is being stored on the reservation
In large quantities, and from Park Rap da
to Pine point, a distance of twenty miles,
the Indians are on the road drunk at all
times of day and night, yelling and raising
hell generally. Now if you have the tr ops
at yoLr disposal, and can send them, I think
it would be advisable. Judge Se-arle will

The letter was referred to Gen. Ba

vade sound and healthy lungs. The lungs
_aust first be in a diseased condition.
First a man feels a little out of sorts.
Probably he is overworked and has given
too little time to eating, sleeping and rest
ing. His appetite falls off. His digestion
g-ets out of order and his blood does not
receive the proper amount of life-giving
jmtriment. The liver becomes torpid and
the blood is filled with impurities. These
are pumped into every organ of the body,
puilding up unhealthy, half-dead tissues.
The most harm is done at the weakest spot,
and most frequently that spot is in the
lungs. A slight cold leads to inflamma
tion, the bacilli invade the lungs and we
liave a case of consumption.
Ninety -eight per cent of all cases of
consumption are cured by Dr. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery. It is the great
blood-maker and flesh-builder. It restores
the lo9t appetite, makes the digestion per

Mrs. Ursula Dunham, of Siatersville, Tyler Co.,

The ' Golden Medical Discovery ' promptly

branch of the Chippewas over which Hole
in-the-Day is the recognized chief taking part
in the war with the whites, his position would
be somewhat r.nomalous.
Holo-in-th-Day is adverse to newspaper
notoriety, and would not be interviewed yes
terday. From the tenor, however, of Wood
bury's remarks it was gathered that the White
Earth Indians were glad they were not mixed
up in the row, and will stay out. Indeed,
Ilole-ln-the-Day was accompanied as far as
Bralnerd by two of the Chippewa chiefs, who
have gone to Walker to endeavor to make
peace with their cousins, who are the Bear
islanders. These latter have been persecuted
by sqauw men and mixed bloods until they
have turned against the government which
did not give them justice, at least according to
their notions of what they were entitled to.
It is not likely, however, that they will fight
further, their present hostile attitude being
maintained merely to give time for the gov
ernment to make them as liberal terms as lt
will.

leg was amputated at the city hospital as the
result of a wound received in the fight with
the Indians at Bear island, was reported in
a precarious condition yesterday.
The series of severe shocks which he ha 3

have greatly taxed his vitality and at the
hospital last evening he was said to be very
low.
DISGRACEFUL DOINGS.
Scandalous Exposures at the Lexlng.
ton, Ky., Canip.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 12.— Charges of a
sensational and serious nature have been
preferred against Col. C. L. Wlthrow, of
the Tenth immunes. Conduct unbecoming an
officer is the general charge. He is accused
of frequently having fired his pistol in ihe
middle of the night while intoxicated, thus
disturbing the camp. He took a gun away
from a sentry and fired it at 2 o'clock in
the morning. Last night Col. Wlthrow
was confined ln the special guard house. To
day he was released, being allowed the
liberties of the camp, though he cannot go
outside the guard lines. It is thought he will
be tried by the court martial, now in ses.-l in
Most of the charges were brought by Maj F.
Quay, of the Tenth immunes, who is now on
trial by court martial for other sensational
offenses, one of which is habitual drunken
ness. Col. Wlthrow recently married a
prominent Brooklyn society lady.

MILITARY NECESSITY.
Secretary Alger Will Recommend
Extension of Cuban Railroads.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.— Secretary
Alger will recommend to congress that
the existing railroad system In Cuba
be extended so as to form a line run
ning directly from Cape Maysi, at the
east end of the island, to Cape Antonio,
on the western extremity. He will also
recommend that this work be under
taken by the United States govern
ment and that congress appropriate
the necessary funds. The road is a
military necessity, and, moreover, the
construction of the railroad will give
work to many of the unemployed na
tive laborers. As the road progresses
sections of the country will be opened
up that are now inaccessible to trade.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE THURSDAY OCTOBER 13, 1893.
PRESIDENT IF. OMAHA
IS GIVEN PATRIOTIC AUDIENCE
BY THOUSANDS OF
VISITORS
RED MEN WERE PLEASED
President and Secretary Bliss Shook
Hands With Many of the liraves
lien. Miles Face to Face With
His Old Foe, Geronimoy the Apa
che Chief Greatest Day in the
Exposition's History.
OMAHA, Oct. 12.— When the presi
dential party started for the exposi
tion grounds today there were the
president, with Gordon W. Wattles,
president of the exposition. Then fol
lowed .Gen. Miles, Gen. Greely, Gen.
Wheeler, Secretaries Gage, Bliss and
Wilson, Postmaster General Smith, the
members of the diplomatic corps, sec
retaries of legation and press repre
sentatives. The vast crowd that had
gathered to see President McKlnley
have the club building was ably con
trolled by Maj. Clarkson, general man
ager of the exposition.
President McKlnley received enthus
iastic greeting* at the exposition ground.
In his address he said:
Gentlemen of the Trans-Mississippi Exposi
tion and Fellow Citizens: lt is with g.-smine
pleasure that I meet once more the pejple of
Omaha, whose wealth of welcome is not
altogether unfamiliar to mc, and whose v, arm
hearts have before touched and ruo*ed me.
For this renewed manifestation of /our ie
gard, aiid fcr the cord ai ri-c. ptian of today,
my heart responds witii profound gratitude
and a deep appreciation which I cann.t con
ceal and which the language of compliment
is inadequate to convey. My greeting is not
alone to your city and the state of Nebraska,
but to the people of all the states cf th
trans-MifSissippi group participating here
and 1 cannot withhold congratu a. ions on th
evidence of their prosperity furnishod b
this great exposition. If testimony w.r
needed to establish the fact that their pluc
has not deserted them and th.t prosperit
is again with them it is found here. Th!
picture dispels al! doubt.
In an age of expositions, they have addcv
yet another magnificent example. The his
torical celebrations at Philadelphia and Ch
cago, and the splendid exhibits at New Or
leans, Atlanta and Nashville, are now a
part of the past, and yet In influence they
still live, and their beneficent results are
closely interwoven with our national devel
opment. Similar rewards will honor the au
thors and patrons of the Trans-Mississippi
exposition. Their contribution will mark an
other epoch In the nation's material ad\auce
ment. One of the grea: laws of life is
progress, and nowhere- have the principles of
this law been so strikingly illustrated as in
the United States. A century and a decide
of our national life have turned doubt in:o
conviction, changed experiment into demon
stration, revolutionized old method i and won
tho new triumphs which have challenged
the attention of the world. This is true not
only of the accumulation of material wealth
and advance in education, science, invention
and manufactures, but, above, all, in *he op
portunities to the p?op!e for their own ele
vation which have been secured by Wise
free government. Hitherto in peace and ln
war. with additions to our territory and
slight changes in our laws, we have steadily
enforced the spirit of the constitution se
cured to us by the noble self-sacrifice and
far-seeing sagacity of our ancestors. We
have avoided the temptations cf conquest in
the spirit of gain. With an increasing love
for our institutions, and an abiding faith in
their stability, we have made the triumph*;
of our system of government ii the progress
and the prosperity of our people, an inspira
tion to the whole human race. Confronted at
this moment by new and grave problems, *we
must recognize that their solution will aTrct
not ourselves alone, but others of ths family
of nations.
The heroes of Manila and Santiago and
Porto Rio have made immortal history. They
are worthy successors and descendants of
Washington and Greene, of Paul Jones, De
catur and Hull, and of Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan and Logan; of Farragut, Porter and
Cushing. and of Lee, Jackson and Longstreet.
New names) stand out on the honor roll of
the nat'on's great men, and with them un
named stand the heroes of the trenches and
the forecastle, invincible in battle and un
complaining in death. The intelligent, loyal,
indomitable soldier and sailor and marine,
regular and volunteer, are entitled to equal
praise as having done their whole duty,
whether at home or under the baptism of for
eign fire.
Right action follows right purpose. We
may not at all times be able to divine the
future, the way may not always seem clear;
but if our aims are "high and unselfish, some
how and in some way the right end will be
reached. The genius of the nation, its free
dom, its wisdom, its humanity, its courage,
its justice, favored by divine Providence will
make it equal to every task and the master of
every emergency.
The conclusion of the president 'e ad
dress was the signal for a scene of
wild acclamation. Bowing and smiling
to the crowd of his enthusiastic con
stituents, the president sat down and
gave way to Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith, whose speech
came next on the programme. Mr.
Smith's reception was almost as flat
tering as that given to the president.
He ispoke briefly along lines similar to
those followed by his chief, dwelling
particularly upon the magnitude of the
exposition and the marvelous energy
and genius which the great West had
devoted to its consummation. He also
commended in strong terms the war
policy of President McKinley and
spoke of him ai3 one of the greatest
figures in modern American history.
Al_T_ WERE OHBBRED.
After the postmaster general had
concluded, the surging throng of hu
manity around the platform clamored
for more. Loud calls for Gen. Miles,
Senators Allen and Thurston and Gov.
Holcomb were heard, and they ad
vanced in succession to the front of
the nlatform and in response to th*
deafening cheers of the people bowed
and smiled their acknowledgments, but
did not make any remarks. Then the
Chinese minister, the Korean minister
and Senator Quesada, the Cuban emis
sary, were brought forward ln response
to tiie demands of the crowd. Patriotic
selections by the band closed the ex
ercises on the platform.
After luncheon the president spent
seme time in viewing the wonders of
the exposition, expressing surprise and
gratification at every turn. At 3 o'clock
Mr. McKinley entered the government
■building and stood in the center of the
great structure, while, for twenty min
utes, the public were permitted to file
past him. The president was presented
to the people by President Wattles; to
each one he gave a handshake and a
pleasant word. A number of women
fainted during the reception, but the
best possible order was maintained, and
no accidents of consequence resulted.
A short rest was taken in the upper
gallery of the mines and mining build
ing, where a quiet reception had been
arranged for the president by the com
missioners of the exposition. Between
files of Nebraska regulars and volun
teers the party was then driven to the
Indian colony, Where the president
viewed with much interest a sham bat
tle participated ln hy 600 red men. Be
fore the battle the Indians defiled in
front of the presidential stand, and
Saxs, Foxes, Black Feet, Chippewas,
Arapahoes. Sioux, Cheyennes and Flat
heads saluted the "Great Father" with
cheers and war whoop?. Gen. Miles,
fiom the reviewing stand, saw face to
face his old New Mexican enemy, Ge
ronimo. Before taking* his carriage,
President McKlnley and Secretary Bliss
walked past the line of redmen and
grasped many an outstretched hand.
The Indians gave shouts of pleasure
and gratification at this attention from
their ruler.
Dinner was taken by the presidential
party at the ground. Then followed
a concert by the limes band on the
plaza and ascension of one of the San
tiago war balloons and an extraordi
nary display of fireworks in honor of
the president.
Tired, but gratified, Mr. McKinley
left the exposition with words of pleas
ure and gratitude for the welcome, giv
en him today by the people of the great
West.

•wanted put on paper. The priest trans
lated It for them and wrote it In Eng
lish:
We will from this time lay down our arms
and will fight no more, but we beg you to
settle the difficulties which are oppressing
us. We ask you to meet us at this point so
that we may lay before you, unmolested, all
our grievances, personally. It will be a great
pleasure for us to meet you and have your
assistance in taking a heavy load from us.
Not one of them signed because they
said lt came from all of them.
This meager document, without any
signature of chief or head brave, is all
that has been accomplished toward
peace, nor was this small accomplish
ment easy. It Is no secret that the rebels
feel they have won a victory over the
troops. They killed six men and wound
ed eleven, and now it seems probable
that they tell the truth when they say
they never lost a man. They are much
stronger now, and ln this frame of
mind they were not easily approached
by the peace commissioner.
It was night when the little steamer
came albreast of Black Duck point. All
the shore was black in the shadow of
the pines. The whistle of the boat
was the signal of the peace commis
sioners. The Indians answered by
sending up a rocket. The stream of
fire rose above the trees, but no In
dian came in sight. The water is shal
low along the shore there, and the
steamboat could not approach.
Father Aloysius and Gay-Gway-Che-
Way-Bln-Nung went ashore In a birch
bark canoe.
An Indian sentinel met them on the
shore. They told him of their mission,
and he called Gay-She-Gwon-Ay-
Yoush, who is next ln command to Bog-
Ah-May-Ge-Shig. When he had assured
himself who they were he sent men
In canoes to bring Beauleavi and the
food gifts from the boat. He then con
ducted them through the forest a dis
tance of a mile. Along the way they
met other armed sentries, and at last
oame to the camp-fire.
About fifty braves, some in buck
skin and some in store clothes, but all
in war paint, were sitting about the
fire.
The first thing Father Aloysius did
j was to break open the box of hardtack,
| then he gave them the bacon, and a
j feast was made of it. It was .10 o'clock
when the talking began, and lt was 1
I o'clock this morning when It ended.
j For three hours the pow-wow was kept
| up, and much talking was done. No
j interpreter was needed, for Father
' Aloysius talks Chippewa like a tribes
; man.
Gus Beauleau, who witnessed the
| scene, is an educated man and a half
-breed Chippewa who has been at many
jla pow-wow. He says this was the
i most weird and impressive view that
| ever came 'before his eyes. The slender
I priest, in his long, black robes, was a
I striking picture, standing in the white
j glare of the fire in the circular open
j ing in the depths of the black forest.The
j priest was talking, and around him
I the warriors sat silently listening with
j resoect.
When he had finished Gay-She-
Gwon-Ay-Yoush, massive and majestic
in beads and buckskin atnd the eagle
feather of a head brave In his glinting
black hair, arose to answer him.
"We can fight." he said, "but we
want peace. We have defeated the sol
diers once and we still have our guns.
But we want peace. As much as we
want peace, however, we .want justice
more. When the white men take away
our wrongs we will gladly welcome
peace, but not till then, for we know
how to fight and how to die."
Again the priest sought to soften the
anger ln the breasts of the painted
braves and he talked again.
May-Dwa-We-Nind, another great
warrior, answerd him this time.
The priest was eloquent ln the lan
guage of his adopted people, but these
Bear island braves were eloquent also,
and they never drifted from the points
for which they contended. They said
they want no more stealing of their
timber and no more dragging of inno
cent men to district courts on the pre
text of being witnesses in petty whisky
selling cases.
Father Aloysius told them he could
not right their wrongs, but if they
would talk to Commissioner Jones he
would obtain justice for them. "We
will talk to him," said Gay-She-Gwon-
Ay-Yoush. "And we will tell him all
our wrongs." But then this untutered
savage said: "All the white people reai
the papers and we want the newspa
per men here to write dawn ali we say
so the white people may know our
wrongs, and then take them off us."
Bog -Ah - Nay -Ge - Shik, Gay-She-
Gwon-Ay-Yoush, May-Dwa-We-Nind
and the other Bear island savages
waited in vain today for the men who
would tell the world of their grievances.
It was a queer request for a w.vage
to make, anyway. — A. F. 'Morton.

directly north of here are filling up
with bucks returning from Leech lake,
and Maj. Scheffer considered it best
to take their guns for a few days. What
these peaceful reds will do for food
without guns with which to get lt Is
& question. Since yesterday there has
been a large number of bucks return
ing homeward from Leech lake. Forty
paddled up the Mississippi through
Cass lake this morning.
These are part of the several hun
dred Indians who have been gathering
around Leech lake from the neighbor
ing reservations for several days. Their
return Is taken as a good indication
that the trouble is over or will be. They
were at all times friendly, but when
near the hostiles their movement ex
cited considerable appvehnsion.

PILLAGER SIDE OF IT.
A Translated Interview Witn One ot
the Hostile Braves.
WALKER, Oct. 12.— One of the Fll
lager band has discussed the trouble
"between the hostiles and the govern
ment. His interview as translated Is
as follows:
We are dissatisfied because we are not
getting what belongs to vs — namely, the
, "dead and down" timber on this reservation.
We are being robbed of our pine logs by
the mixed bloods and the white men with
squaw wives. We wrote many letters to
Washington a year ago this summer asking
for the privilege of cutting the "dead and
down" timber, and last fall we were informed
that our demand had been granted. We were
glad, but when we went around to pick the
pine land where we wished to cut fallen logs
we were told by the superintedent of logging
that the lands were taken by the mixed bloods
from other reservations.
We filed applications upon certain sections
of timber, but our applications were not re
spected. We wrote to the commissioner of
Indian affairs, telling him we did not want
any half-breeds or other mixed bloods to log
on the reservation. The letter was written
on July 4 last. No answer came. We wrote
again and still no answer. The Indians are
much surprised and greatly alarmed for the
security of what the government has said be
longs to them. Chief Flatmouth and myself
went* to Washington and asked tho commis
sioner of Indian affairs not to allow mix^d
bloods to cut "dead and down" timber on the
reservation, and were promised that the re
quest of the Indians should be granted. Rt il 1
the mixed bloods continued to cut the log 3 i
and the Indians could not help themselves.
At one time a man named McClure was
sent hers to be superintendent of logging,
but he did not come much to the agency.
He stayed, at Walker and drew money at ths
expense of Indians without doing them any
good. He distributed the pine lands to the
mixed bloods of other reservations. He is
now at Red Lake reservation. I am told the
law says the mixed bloods may file upon
timber the same as Indians, but we have been
assured otherwise, and expect the government
to protect us. We feel helpless. If we were
to take the matter into our own hands we
should have to drive the offenders from the \
reservation, and. that would mean a conflict, j
We want peace, and the government ought j
to heln us to live in peace.
As to the question of removing us to White j
Earth, I would say some want to go and :
others, the vast majority, do not. We never j
have been asked to move and do not expect i
to. The settlers treat us honestly, although ■
we are told the lumbermen pay them to cheat j
us ln their estimates of pine logs. So far
as the settlers and soldiers are concerned,
we have no complaint to make. We supposs
they do their duty.
Only Tliree Killed.
WALKER. Minn., Oct. 12.— A friendly In
dian Just returned from Bear Island declares
that the loss of the tribe in the battle a
week ago was but three. All were killed,
none of the others being struck.
This report shows at once the deadly char
acter of the Krag-Jorgenson bullets, and the
small chance the troops have of dislodging
an ambushed force of the reds without a ter
rible loa* of life.
Ont on a Scout.
BE-v-IIDJI, Minn., Oct. 12.— C01. Johnson
Bent a scouting party of thirty down the
Bralnerd & Northwestern grade today, ettlers
along the line between here and Walker and
the SOO graders feel greatly alarm?d and th->
squad goes to reassure them as well as to
search for Indians. The detachment is com
manded by Capt. Teare. All was quiet here
last night and nothing Is new today. The
people again feel secure as there Is nothing
new from Col. Johnson's stations at Farris
and Cuba.
AU Quiet.
CASS LAKE, Minn., Oct. 12.— Reports to
this point today give no indication of anything
but a continuation of the quiet of yesterday.
No reports have come up from south of
Leech lake, and the people here are without
knowledge of what Is going on there. WiUh
a defeat of the reds there the whole force
along this road may safely be withdrawn.

SOCIAL SIDE OF IT
KNIGHTS TEMPLARS DEFERRING
THE ROUTINE PART OF
THEIR WORK
BANQUETS ARE IN ORDER
Actual RuNiiie*** ivt the Conclave Is
to Be lim uk° n rated Tomorrow.
When the Contest for the Honor
of Next Year's Conclave Will He
gin — — Louisville Seems to Be in
the Lead.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 12.— The pro
gramme of the conclave today was
mainly made up of gaieties consisting
of receptions at the different headquar
ters of the commanderies, balls and so
cial entertainments purporting to make
the local knights, and the visitors bet
ter acquainted. Tne weather was all
that could be desired, and. although it
looked threatening sometimes, the sun,
however, managed to break through
the clouds. This evening, as well as all
day, the streets have been as crowded
•as on the previous days, and the throng
enjoying the electrical illuminations is
as dense as ever. A number of excur
sions on rail, street car lines and by
river were Indulged in by a number of
the visiting knights, and the large in
dustrial establishments of Carnegie
•and Westinghouse were inspected.
Among the social functions this even
ing the reception of Tancred Com
mander}* No. 48, of Pittsburg, was a
very dazzling affair, and lt vied in
splendor with the banquet at Duquesne
garden. The headquarters of Tancred
commandery are located in the court
house, where a large space, 80 by 100
feet, had been transformed Into a per
fect bower of flowers, garlands, flags
and bunting, among which the insignia.
the emblems and the flags of Knight
Templarism predominated. The room
wa? radiantly illuminated with colored
incandescent lamps, and the aspect of !
the hall was one of the magnificent
splendor. All the evening the guests
kept coming and going. At 8 o'clock
dancing commenced and this was con
tinued until after midnight.
The banquet at Duquesne gardens,
tendered to Grand 7'as£er Warren
Thomas and members of the grand en
campment, by the members of the ex
ecutive committee, was another affair
of unusual brilliancy. Covers had been
laid for 1.000 guests, and the decora
tions of the banquet board, as well as
those of the hall in general, were the
most sumptuous that could have been
designed with all the aid and resources
of florist and decorator at their com
mand. Sir Thomas J. .Shryock act^d as
toastmaster on this occasion. The fol
lowing toasts -were responded to: "The
Grand Encampment," by Warren
Thomas; "The Cross," Sir James I.
Buchanan; "Our 1.-adies," Sir William
B. Melish; "Our Absent Praters," Right
Eminent Sir R. H. L»loyd; "Templarism
in the Twentieth Century," Right Emi
nent Sir I. P. Wane-er. The banquet
committee was composed of Sir James
B. Tennyson, Sir 11. Samson and Sir
E. S. Wright, of Pittsburg.
Tomorrow the designation of the
place for the next encampment will be
decided upon. While there are several
cities in the field to get the next en
campment, among them Buffalo, At
lantic City, Niagara Falls, Milwaukee,
Los Angeles, Detroit and Louisville, it
looks, from tho way the Kentuckians
are working, that they will carry off
the palm. The election of the next
grand junior warden, another impor
tant matter, will then be decided.
BUSINESS SESSION.
At the business session of the grand
encampment held this afternoon by-
Grandmaster Warren Thomas, appoint
' ed a committee of five to consider the
question of the place for the holding of
the next encampment, ln 1901, with the
advice that a report be made tomor
row morning, when the matter will be
definitely decided. This committee is
| composed of five Western men with
Past Grand Commander TV. W. \iien
of lowa, as chairman. The fact that
the members of this committee are all
from the West would indicate that the
next conclave will be held ln some
Western city.
Apart from this, the meeting dis
cussed at length the advi.abilitv of
changing several features of the con
stitution without, however, coming to
any definite conclusion. The propo
sition to make Washington, D. C the
permanent conclave city, was also
brought up and while the matter did
not come to a vote, enough was learned
from the sentiment of the discussion to
say that this proposition will not carry,
most of the speakers arguing that such
a movement would .have a tendency of
causing interest to be lost In these
gatherings.
