Director G. P. O'Xeill, of the local N. L. Club is making every possible endeavor to get matters into such a condition this week as will permit ot the signing of players as soon as the Conference Committee settles present National League difficulties. There is not much prospect of the dtfiuite organi zation of the new local club, and Mr. O'Neill will, therefore, apply for a "Pro motion" charter. It this is obtained it will hold cood the contracts of all players sicned under it and nben the club is thoroughly or ganized and a proper charier obtained tl.e con tracts made under the "Promotion" charter can be transferred. Tins Jlr. O'Neill considers the only safe way to proceed, and lie hopes to hare the charter in question tins week. The truth is that matters are more muddled in the two clubs than the pnlilu has any idea of, anil one authority stated yesterday that April maybe here before the new club can be organized so as to elect a Presi dent. It is Mated that the debts of each club are larger than was generally anticipated. This uiav cause some difficulties in dissolving the two clubs. All along it ha been understood that the grand stand at KxpoMlion Park was part of the assets ot the F. L. club. It now transpires that the stand does not be long to the club at all, and that instead or be ing an asset it is a liability, inasmuch as the P. L. club had it routed for 5500 per jear. It is owned by the Pittsburg and West ern Railroad. The liabilities of the P. L. club are such that it is estimated that an assessment of CO per cent on the money al ready subscribed to the club" stork will be nec essary. These facts will tend to make tp-daj's meeting of the 1. L. club a very important one. A trcntleinan who is in a position to know stated esteiday that the N. I., club till also hate a number of difficulties to eccuuter be lorc dissolution i effected. The deb:s ot the club arc about E5.000, and thee debts must all n cleared off before a consolidation is effected. The debts are chiefly loans advanced by local lank6. Altogether ihe trentlcman above re ferred to thinks that the joint debts of the two clubs will not be far short of 10,000, ai.dthis all must be s-tied before the new club ran be organized. It is beeauso ol the probability of iu.iuv wee Ks neing spent in settling up matters that Mr. O'Neill has resolved to apply for a "oi "motion'- charter. The rumor to the effect that the Conference Committee would meet here this week turns out to be a little wide of the mark. An official of the local N. L. clubs'ated last evening that unless a change is made the Arbitration Com mittee will meet here shortly. F0LFT3 GOSSIP. The Boston Baseball 'Writer Gives a Tew Interesting Pointers on General Affairs. ConnESi'ONPLsci: of the dispatch. Boston. Nov. 2J The hascball magnates at this cnu of the line are as dumb as the pro crbjalo3sterwhen questioned regarding the baseball prospect for 1S91. "Oh. everything is lovely," sajs the genial Triumvir Conant. "The League is on top again and we are in no Lurry to sign men." Conant is the man who fixed a contract for ilike Kelly dm ing the recent Leairue meeting in New York. He is a heeler for Kelly, but the other Boston directors Billings and Soden have sourca on the 00,000 beauty, and it is no sure thing that Kelly will bo with the Eos ton team next season. Al. Spalding and Anson are still stuck on "Kel," and they will do all in their power to secure him for the Chicago team; in fact many Chicago writers have already booked Kelly for Anion's team. One thing i certain, however. If lr. Spalding wants Kelly he inut put up good money for his release, fepilding latich- at tho idea of putting out much money fov Kelly's release, but the Triumvirs have not forgotten the nice little check for S10.000 t' at Spaldicg secured for Kell 's release four jears ago. The Bos ton Brotherhood tea-j is still in existence, but it is likely that the will be boucht out before many weeks. Th-.- Brotherhood seems to be buried beyond resurrection. but the Boston backe -s would continue tho fight if a good cir' nit could be formed. Kelly's haste in making arrangements to play with the League 'iub has made him many enemies. IL; aso backcapped his own men and accused tuem of ungratefulness at the time the club was tendered a benefit at Music Hall in Octo ber. "Yes," says Kelly, "it oost me SlfcO to bring Hoey and Evans on from New York, and the rest of the men would not piy me back out of their snare of the proceeds'." Some of the players" friends then silled into Kelly, but the latter proved equal to the emergency by deny in? etervthing. The Boston league club backers arc not in love with Spalding's scheme of placing an American Association team in this citv, and ceitainly no one can blame them for protesting against such an invasion. In the first place, no sueh deal will be sancuoned bv the Triumvirs until tbey get back the men that deserted them a j ear ago: and as tnrc is opposition to this liemc from the B'otherhood mil. it will be eithrr a tight or sell out. The Brotherhood backers are hanging on by their eyelid, but thcvnill makeasuong bluff if the plavers re main firm. A club in this city would have to be remarkably strong to make a living in the American Association, and this is why the nionejed men benuid the Brolherhood club are so anxious to retain their present team. Kellv, however, sat s that he will not play sec oiki fiddle in a Sunday pUjiug organization, and tu'nyiif his fellow players declare them selves in the same way. After the storm blows over an effort will be mane to secure Johnnie Waid to Captain and manage the Boston club.. The League folks have no love for Ward, but it is nut at all prob able that be mil be boycotted for i-iciung the Brotherhood insurrection. In manv lespects the uprising was a blessing. It showed that ball player-' contracts weie worthless in the old form: it also broke tip the sales system, and just now ball plajers are signing thice-year oiitract. which insures freedom for -the plajer when his term is up In case Ward should come to Boston. Keilv will bs cither transferred to Xcw York or Chi cago. Mr. Spalding is a big stockholder in the New Yirk club, and he can easily arrange a deal with Mr. Day for Ward's tiausfer to Bos Ion. Day has no love for Ward, and imw that Glasscock has signed a three-ear contract with New York, Mr. Day would be glad to sell "Ward to Boston. This would shut out Pitts burg, unless Mr. O'Neil is willing t talk busi ness with John B. Day fur a tran-fer. Ciiakles J. Foley. FASTEST ON BEC0ED. A Speedy Two-Year-Old Goes a Mile in 2:07 1-.

To the s-portin: Editor orTlie Dispatch: I understood from good authority when I made the deposit of 30 iu good faith, that Mr. Keilly was willing to wrestle me at catch weight. Now he says if I mean business, so does he. That is just whatl mean, ana furth ermore for hismvusutn, providing we can agree upon a reasonable weight. Any more newspa per correspondence "n the subject would be useless. I will do as Mr. Reillv Miggests. meet him at The Dispatch olScu Tuesday evening, at 8 o'clock, and see if we can come to terms. My idea 1", that it is far better to arrange matches when possible, than to claim a cham piorship and never wrestle. ,James Connors.

A Probability That They Ml Meet In tbe King Before Long. Boston, Nov. 30. X finish fight between George Godfrey, the colored heavy-weight, and Jake Kilram is one of the probabilities for tho near future. Immediately after Dunn decided Godfrey a winner in tbe recent battle with Smith, Billy Muldoon, on behalf of Kilrain. challenged Godfrey for a fight for $2,500 a side and whatever purse might be offered. At the time Godfrey said nothing, but later he met Muldoon and Kilrain in New York and the subject of fighting was again opened. Phil Dwjcr offered to back Godfrey against Kilrain for 15,000 and Mnldnon p greed to make a match for that sum, but Godfrey wouldn't make the match. The offer of a $3,500 purse didn't move him. He said be proposed to get some money by sparring at exhibitions, and after, a few months he would talk of fighting again. The Chelsea fighter lid scarcely reached borne before he was offered another chanco for a battle. Jimmy Doherty, of Cambridge, who has met Godfrey twice, is anxious for a third meeting with tbe colored man, and his friends believe that ho can lower tbe colors which Ashton. Cardiff and Smith have failed to no, D dierty has hosts of friends in Cam bridge, who are convinced that he showed him self the equal ot Godfrey in both his former battles, one of which was awarded to Doherty on a fouL Doberty is now ready and anxious to fight Godfrey for the best available purse to be of fered, and bis friends will make a stake of SUM) a side. . Godfrevsaid to-day: "I don't see why Kil rain should be so anxious to fight me. Why don't he try some of those men I've whipped? I don't want to keep fighting all the time. I want to get some of this easy money that poorer fighters than 1 am are getting by show, lug. If lever meet Kilrain I'll give bun a thundering good licking. I never set my mind on whipping a man yet but that I did it. and I won't tail in this cither. As for Dohertj 7 Why he ain't in it a: all. I've already whipped him mice, and if be ever gels in front of me again I'll kill him. He'd better take on one of the many whipped champions who have taken the loser's enuafter fighting me. Still I will meet Doherty for a $5,000 purse, it that offers, any-wherc." FrrrsBiJBG pugilist knocked out. A Fierce and Brief Contest Done Up in Eight Lively Rounds. "PFftAt.

A barn back of the driving park in Versailles township was the scene of the battle. The Sght was fierce and brief, resulting in Hays knocking his opponent out in the eighth round by a sweeping upper cut. There was no interference whatever, and everything was carried on satisfactory. Burns made a favorable showing, but was unable to w ithstand the well directed blows of his plucky opponent. The first fiw rounds were give and take, and at the end of tho contest both men showed signs of considerable punishment. Tbe Pittsburg sports backed their man well and lost considerable money.

Officially Slated That $133,000,000 Will be Used in '92, Willi an UKKNOWN DEFICIENT THIS YEAE. Annual Report of the Secretary of tbe Interior Department. A DEFENSE OF THE TKESEST CENSUS "WAsniXGTOjr, Nov. 30. The annual re port oi Secretary Noble, of the Interior De partment, will be presented to Congress to morrow. Upon the subject of pensions he savs: Tho work done by the Pension Bureau has reached wonderful proportions, and its expend itures havesent into tne channels of trade and commerce in our country more than !100,000,WX) tbe past year. The use of this vast sum has served more than one valuable purpose. It bas been not alone a relief to hundreds of thou sands of families of the soldiers Who in differ ent wars have served their country, chtrfiy those who defended tho Union against seces sion, but it has also transferred at most oppor tune moments the accumulated treasures of tho Government to the hands of the people, "bless ing him that gives and Jiim that takes." Tho pensions granted by previous legislation will be largely augmented by those now being allowed under the act entitled "An act-granting pen sions to soldiers and sailors who are incapaci tated for tbo performance of manual labor, and providing fur pensions to widows, minor chil dren and dependent parents," approved June Ti. 1890. This bill was passed iu accordance with she strong recommendation contained In your message at the opening of the Fifty-nist Congress. It mav be well to mention here that the rea son why our pension roll is greater than that of other countries is not nlnno because tho war was colossal, having enrolled nearly 2,250,000 of men on one side, but because, the country they saved being a republic, each individual of that vast army had a recognized claim to the aid of the nation. In other lands officers get much and men little: here the large bulk of pensions goes to tho rank and file, and tlio immense numbers of these and their depend ents swell the pension list to proportions com mensurate with the size of the army and the uemocracy oi onr principles. KOLLS ASD CLAIMS. At tbe close of the fiscal year ISM thero were 537,'Jf 1 pensioners borne upon tho rolls. Their classification is given by the Commissioner as follows: Array invalid pensioners 392,809 Army widows, minor children and de pendent relative8 106.456 Navv invalid pensioners 5,-71 Is'uvy widows, minor children and de pendent relatives 2,460 Rnrvivors of the War of 1812 413 Widows of soldiers of the War of 1812.. 8,010 Survivors of the Mexican War 17,1S Widows of soldiers of tbe Mexican War b,TC4 Total 537.944 At this writing (October M, 1890,) there are claims pending, 92.221. Of these there have been received under the act of June 27, 1893, 483,273. It may be explained that many of tho new claims are by those who have old claims pending, so that tbe number of claims are many more in number than tbe persons making them. It anpears from tho Commissioner's report that there were 66.C37 original claims allowed during the year, being 14,716 juore original claims than were allowed during the fiscal year 1889 and 6,385 more than were allowed during the fiscal year 1SSS. Tbe amount of the first payment in these C6.637 original rases reached S32.47S.S14 IS. being Sll.0Su.492 05 more than tbe nrst payments on the original claims allowed during the tiical year 18S9. and 510,179.225 72 more than the first payments on the oriental claims allowed during the fiscal yearlSSS. Tbe average value of the Hist pay ments on these original claims for 1890 was S4S5 71. The average annual valne of each pension at the close of the fiscal vear was 5133 94. The appropriation for the last fiscal year was but jsaooo.003. This, as was pointed out In tho Secretarj's last annual report, was not only inadequate, but must have been known to be so when made: for tbe estimate of the ear be fore was SSO,0O9.O0O, and there had been then in curred a deficiency of at least S.S.000,000, and, as the pel siou list was constantlyincreasing.lt was apparent that this additional sum, if added, wuaisr-Mt be enough to meet the obligations to accrue before the end of even that fiscal year. A 'DEFICIENCY this teak. Tbe appropriation for the present year is 97,090.761, tut such bas been the great number of pensioners added to thejist by special acts of Congress and the energetic work of the bureau that a deficiency appropriation will bo required, the amount of which cannot yet be accurately stated. The energetic work under the pieseut administration of tbe bureau has been already specified. But its force lias been largely increased, and its work will e much greater than even heretofore. By the act of June 27, 1890, tbe employment ot an additional force of 4&$ medical examiners, clerks, and other emnlutes was authorized, in addition to which 175 clerls have been ordered from the field where-they wero employed as special ex aminers, thus adding, with the 438 above men tioned, 613 to the force employed in tbe office on September 1: and the whole number of officers and employes on the roll is 1,C6A The rstimate for army and navy pensions for 1E92 is about S133,000,0oa The great work of this bureau, the results of which draw so heav ilyupoti the National Treasury and should therefore be scrutinized with the utmost care, is done at present upon a thorough business basis. All claims upon which larce first pay ments may accrue are carefully examined by the Deputy Commissioner and Commissioner before allowance. Rejected claims aie re opened only upon order of the Deputy Com missioner. The Medical Division has been re organized, strengthened and nut under stricter rules. The Finance Div.9ion"scnuintzes all ac counts pertaining to the bureau, and especial care is taken that all letters from claimants be lopliedto without delay. The Board of Ue revieu, that operated rather to obstruct the al lowance of just claims than to advance the in terests of the Government, has been abolished and the force distributed among the other divisions. By extraordinary efforts tbo caes in the hands of special examiners in the field have been reduced in the last year from 14,225 to 7.S-2-I. including those passing from and to the office. The work under the law nt June 27, 1890. has been so arranged that depcudeut pensions will be adjudicated as rapidly as they are com pleted without interfering with completed claims under the old law. Under order No. 162, September 26, 1899. claimants under tbe de pendent pension law aro given the benefit of all proofs that may have been filed in claims made by them nnder other laws. The details arc furnished in the very carefully prepared and accurate report of the present Commis sioner of Pensions. It is deemed 100,000 claims are already in the pension office that cau be allowed u-icier this order. AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED. The Secretary concurs iu the following amendments suggested by the Assistant Secre tary: "In tbe second section of the act of June 27, 1899, it is provided that, "persons who are now receiving pensions under cxist'.ng laws, or whose claims are pending in the Bureau of Pensions, may, by application to tbe Commis sioner of Pensions, in such form a& he may prescribe, showing themselves entitled thereto, receive the benefits of this act." In view of this provision, that, in many cases wherein "claims aro pending in tbe Bureau of Pen sions." but whcicin appeals to the Secretary have been tiled, tbe Mijudlcation of the same would be greatly facilitated, and the ends of jiiftlce sooner reached, if the aforesaid section should be so amended as to authorize the Secretary, when adjudicating said appeals under the old laws, to allow pension under the new law without a formal application to the Commissioner, where, from tbe evidence in the paper", it shall be clear that the 'claimant was entitled to pension under tbe new law. Tbe amendment thus suggested would save expeuse. labor and delay to many worthy claimants, and relieve the Bureau of Pensions of a heavy burden in the administration of the law. "Willi reference again to this act, attention is called to that clause in'its third section which provides peusion for minor children who are 'insane, idiotic or otherwise permanently help less.'. The clause properly provides that tbe pension cranted to such cniUren 'shall con tinue during the life of said child, or uurlngthe period of such disability:' but, under the law as It stands. In order that 'such children shall be pensioned during life, or 'during the period of such disability,' it must appear that the father, or the mother, diea prior to tbe expiration of the limit afhxed to the pensionable, minority period. T.z., 10 j oars of ace; and, therefore, if, when; tbe parent dies, the insane, or idiotic, or otherwise, permanently helpless child Is more than, instead or -nnder, 18 years of age,' a minor's pension cannot be allowed. In view of this fact, -the act should De n amended as to admit all 'insane. Idiotic or otherwise perma nently helpless .children' to minors' pension, re gardless nf tho. date of the parent's death, or remarriage, at any period prior to and includ ing the ago ol 21 years." THE CENSUS DISPUiE. Upon the subject of the census the Secre tary, among other things, says: There wa:greatc-.r,in the selection of the 42,000 enumerators, the special agents and ex- perts. The clerlis, numbering nearly 2,000. were examined according to rules established by the Secretary, A girat many improved tabulating machines were employed and every preparation made to secure a prompt and accurate enumer ation and an early tabulation and announce ment of tho result. In a reDort daled October 28. 1K.0, made upon the substantial completion of tho enumeration, tho Superintendent presents a very full ex Planation of its validitv. showing the unfairness of any comparison between the percentage of increase between 1S70 and 1S80 and that bctweeu 18S0 and 1890, The discussion contained In the Superintendent's paper cannot be fairly abbre viated, anil it is appended In full. There have been some contests, and in some Instances cor rections have been made on applications for enumeration. But 80 per rent of all the com. plaints against the eleventh census, and there were only about the same number against tho tenth census, have, on careful investigation, been found grotmdles. It is a noteworthy fact that upon the promul gation of tbe questions to be answered for the purposes of the census, some relating to dis ease and other oC the subjects above mentioned, a great number of editors throughout the conntry began a bitter attack upon the whole census system and used every means ot argu ment and Invective to array the people against replying to tbe inquiries of the enumerators, and even denounced-tbe whole work in ad vance. But the people recognized the census as a national work, meant not only for the ne cessities of our own Government, but for tbe benefit of all men, and the questions, includ ing those relating to farms, homes and mort gages, were almost universally and Dromptly answered. This censns will, it is believed, be found to be reliable. To say that there are no errors in it would be to claim for it moro than can be expected ol any snch work. But those who find tho molt fault with it are those who f torn the beginning bavo endeavored to defeat it. The great body of our people are content with it. The disputes that have arisen as to certain cities, and even one Statp, have been patiently heard where it was asked, and opinions given at length setting forth the reason for tbe action taken. Time alone can now test tho eleventh census, exnosinn- errors, if anv exist, and con firming its substantial accuracy. The work has certainly been most carefully prepared, aud as the result goes to tbe country, tbe Secretary feels that the duty imposed upon the Census Office bas been faithfully performed. THE PATENT OFFICE. There Is no bureau that bas earned by its own success greater claims to an increase of foice and room for its officers and clerks than the Patent Office, and the Secretary strongly approves the recommendations of the Commis sioner. The total number of applicatious re ceived, including re-Issues. tradcuiarks,designs, etc., was 46,140; tie number of patents granted was 25.S57; trademarks and labels registered, 1.636; patents expired, 11,885; the total receipts Sl.317,203 21; the total expenditures were 51,031, 17J 56. leaving a surplus of S2G6.029 65 to be turned into the Treasury of the United Stales to tbe credit of the patent fund, and making a toial balance in tho Treasury on account of the oatent fund of $3,790,556 23. The Commis sioner directs attention to the great increase in tbe number of applications received, and re ports that despite such increase tbe number on hand and in condition for action at the end of the fiscal year was less than at tho correspond ing period in any of four previous years; that the work of the office is moro nearly up to aate than it bas been tor years, a result due to no increase in the number ot employes, irauouio unflagging industry and well-directed skill of tbe entire office force. In fact it has been a year of much executive achievement in all the bureaus of this depart meut.iFrom the public domain a new Territory has been formed and organized; former Terri tories have advanced to States; four, admitted to the Union last year, have obtained full rep resentation in both Houses of Congress, aud two more, admitted this year, have elected their State officers and are about to choose their national representatives. In the protection of the public timber lands during the yes.r 55 ageuts were employed. mere were reported 3iu cases oi trespass, in volving $3,064,151 66. The sums recovered dar ing the fiscal vear by tbe Government for snch suits amounted to $100,940 32. TACANT PUBLIC LANDS. The vacant lands in the United States, ex clusive of those in Alaska, at present extend over 586,216,861 acres, of which 2S2.772.439 are already surveyed. Alaska contains 577,390 square miles, or :'9,u29,CC0 acres, of which not more than 1,000 acres have been entered. The azgregate reaches 955 746,461 acres. The fol lowing bgnres, taken from the Commissioner's report, show the lands claimed by the subsi dized railroads and other corporations. There were certified or patented up to 1S9U: Acres. Forrailroad purpo'e3 (1S50 to 1S90). 51,379,346.21 For wagon road purposes (1821 to 1S90) 3.712.7&1.S2 For canal pnrnoses (1828 to 1)J)... 4,421,073.00 For river improvements (18.3 to 1S90) 1,406.210.80 58.092,360.90 The educational branch of the Indian serv ice has received throughout the year the special attention which its importance de mands. .The effort has been to extend ana liunrove tbe system already exlstinc, to en large tho school facilities, to increase the at tendance, to make more uniform the course of study and instruction and to secure teachers of the best qualifications. When the present administration began there was little or no re straint upon any seeking to take Indians off the reservations for exhibition in this or other countries. Tbe first act done by the present Secretary was to require a bond of any per son asking such privilege, conditioned on the fair payment and treatment of the Indians and their return to thsir homes, and for the employment of a white man to be selected to go along with tho Indians and look to their rights and welfare. This, it is thought, did much good in some cases; but ex perience has shown since that in other cases the Indian has greatly lust by such employment. He is taken into strange and most exciting surroundings, he is taught to renew the wildest and most savage scenes of Indian warfare, and too often tempted to recur in practice to tbe lowest vices. When mis fortune overtakes him in any form of disease or accident, or bj.nkruntcy breaks up the show of lus employer. Ms condition on return home is not a good object lesson of the benefits of civilized life as tound by him in the capitals of our own or other enlightened lauds. The re sults are, m fact, deplorable, and it has been ordered that no inure such licenses or contracts shall be made or approved, and that all Indian agents shall exert themselves to prevent and defeat any attempts in future to take Indians from the reservations or elsewhere for such purposes. , If some act of Congress wero passed forbid ding any person or corporation to take into em ployment or under control any American In dian, it would be of much assistance to tho department in enforciug this policy.

TlTLIonAlt TO THE OlSr A.TCH.1 Somerset. Nov. SO. It now appears that the escape of the Nicely boys was a delib erate and skillfully planned affair. The father of the Nicelys was in town for several days Inst week. He had also been here during the week of their former attempt to escape. His presence evidently had much to do with this break, so it is said. When tbe news of tbe escape had spread a public: meeting was promptly called and convened at tbe Court House Valentine Hay, one of the most prominent attorneys of the bar here, presided at the formal meeting , to-day. During the progress of the meeting Sheriff McMillan arose and made a state ment with a view of exculpating himself in regard to the escape. He wound up by offering on bis own behalf $200 reward for tbe e covery of the Nicelys. This was augmented by an additional $100, offered by District Attor ney John Scott, and was followed by Mr. Hay, who proposed that a popular subscription of $10 per man be taken up. It is expected that this popular subscription will aggregate $1,000. John H. Ubl, Chairman of the Democratic County Committee, offered an additional S100. Upon tbe breaking up of tbe meeting last nigbt organized search was at once inaugu rated. Two young men at once started across the Laurel Hill Mountains to Jones' mills, in Westmoreland county, to give tbe alarm in that section. Jacob S. Picking, with several others, in light wagons and on horseback, left for an all-night ride, via Jennerstonn, to Ligonicr and the vicinity of the homes of the Hicely fam ilies. Couriers were despatched to Centerville. Shanksville and other points not accessible by telegraph. In the meantime, telegrams were sent to all near and far points within reach of the operator here, who was kept up all night. The County Commissioners have been In ses sion all day considering tbe question of offering a county reward for the capture of the murder ers. At a late hour this evening they had ar rived at no conclusion. Atlup. 3r. tbe Nicely brothers had not been captured, although tbe entire country is aroused and scouting parties on horseback are scouring every section of tbe county. Parties from Westmoreland and Cambria counties are meeting panics from this county hourly in tbe country districts. Tho opinion is growmc: hourly that they are secreted in this very town by powerful friends, who have a direct interest iu their escape. The two prisoneis who escaped at the same time with the Nicelys are also at large. Scouts have just returned, who report that the trail of the murderers has been strnck four miles northwest of this place, at the village of Husband, and that tbe lugitives are headed in the diiection nf tbe Laurel Mountains, toward their former homes. The Sheriff and depcties have just organized a posse of determined citi zens, neavily armed, and are now off in hot pursuit. OIL PRODUCTION DECBEASING.

THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN. THE PLAN WHICH IS BEING PURSUED BY GENERAL MILES. He Will Corral the Ilostiles Within a Line of Soldiery Before Swooping Down Upon Them Preparations Are Now Complete and Troops Will March. Pkte Ridge Agejict, Nov. 30. The cause of General Brooke's delay in moving against the 1,300 or more ghostdancers, who for some four days' past have not only been pillaging and burning the cabins of tbe set tlers in the vicinity of Wounded Knee, but have defied interference by the troops, leaked ont this morning. General Miles, who has this en tire northern Indian trouble in hand, so far as its suppression by military force is con cerned, is working on a great plan, which is this: To bem this fmost troubled portion of the country entirely in with soldiers. The links in this chain of military, which will be perfected in a few hours, are around by the east to North Rosebud, Lower Brule, Fort Sully, Cheyenne Iliver post, and by the west to North Oelrichs, Fort Meade and Standing Rock. There is the circle, with Fort Robinson on the southwest and Fort Niobrara on the southeast, as supply sta tions and bulwarks to the entire scheme. At 8 o'clock last night we thought the hour to march was at hand. The cavalry received orders not to remove any part ot their uniform, to sleep on their arms and hold themselves in readiness to move at a moment's notice. There was a heavy under-current of ex citement, but official mouths, as usual, were closed tight. Bach member of the small army of correspondents got out his horse, saddled and bridled and packed, to accom pany the troops to the front, but this morn ing finds the troops still awaiting the order to march. When it comes, as it undoubted ly will, before these lines reach the reader, the only portion of the encampment that will go will probably be the cavalry. PITTSBUES HOLDS HEB GEIP.
