A Ewttphg Chtllerge to Lighlwtisat Pngi!it-Otiitnl
Sjcrtog Xw of the Dy.
Local billiard room keepers held an im
portaut meeting yesterday at the office of
George Meyer, the agent of -the Brunswick
& Balke Company, to discuss the desirabil
ity of holding a Stale championship billiard
tournament in this city. As a result it is
very probable that a tournament wiil be
held during the middle of next February.
Those present at the meeting were: Messrs.
Meyers. Harry Davis, Ed Morris, "William
Dodds, Murphy, of the Seventh avenue, and
Stofft, of the Monongahela House.
The most important question was that re
lating to the ways and means. It was
pointed out that $1,000 ould be required as
prizes for the plaj ci. and their expenses would
Lave to he paid, together with other necessary
expenses. The folio ing sums were then cuat
auteed at the meeting: Six entries at $J0 eich,
Urunsnlck fc Balke. 2)0; Harry l-avh-, $100;
WillUm Dodds, J50; Morns Kuehne, 25.
making a total of 4073. Messrs. Murphy and
Ktoff: stated that the proprietors of their rooms
would likel contribute (25 lor each room. It
is also thought that Brook.-. fc JlcUall will sub
scribe SiOO; that Grail & Co.. of the Collender
Company, will donate $50. This would make a
total of 59.3.
After a Ions discossion it was agreed that
Mr. Mjeis have power to try and secure suffi
cient additional pioniiscs of subscriptions to
definitely decide to hold the tournament. Mr.
Meters stated that he had every confidence of
securing all the money requisite. The leading
bu-inessmen will boisiteu.
It was further agreed that the game to be
nlajedbctbe 14-inch balke line. This condi
tion as necessary tu make the event oneota
championship kind. Mr. Meyers pointed out
that mere will be plenty of tune for intending
contestants to practice between now and the
middle of February. The games w ill be plaj ed
on a oxlO table, and a buildinc has not yet
been secured. 1 he tournament will consist of
15 gaines, and will last from the Monday alter
noon until the Saturday evening. Two games
per dav will be played during the Urst three
dajsaiid three games per day during the bal
ance of the week.
fcpeakiug of the project Mr. Meyers said: I
think the tournament will be a go and it will
be a success McLaughlin. Cline and Burns
will coiuc Horn the eastern part of the State,
ana I think they will bring more entries with
them. Messrs Dodds, alter and Bushart
will represent our city, and without doubt the
affnr will be exceedingly interesting. I am as
anxious as anybody to see who is our best
pUer. aud when tuat is proven wc can give
credit to our recognized champion. Depend
upon it a tournament will do a great uealot
good in 1'ittsburg because there are lots of
pUjeisherc."
Another meeting will be held in a few days,
w hen it is expected the necessary funds will
have been collected.

All lead" sam the startc and each man
grasped his oars. "Go" he shouted. There
was a whirl of wheels and the oial indicated
fcrthe first two minutes that China's cham

indexed as the wiiinei. but Ireland's champion
had still a few links ot power in reserve and in
the last three minutes of the race the index
hand of his dial indicated he was in the lead.
They finished uith Largan the winner, Ross
second and Plaisted Ijst. At this unexpected
result the audience applauded liberally. The

COL r0RSYTHE RELIEVED.
SUPEBI0BS NOT SATISFIED WITH HIS
ACTIOS AT WOUNDED KNEE.
The Killing of Indian Women and Chil
dren to lie Investigated Some of the
Officer's Comrades Say That He Could
Not Have Prevented It.
WAsniNaTox, Jan. 5. The report of the re
lief of Colonel Forsytbe of his command of
the Seventh Cavalry by Generalities, which
has boen telegraphed East from an unofficial
source, is confirmed at the War Department
to-day.- The officials, however, show a decided
disinclination to talk about the matter.
Neither Secrejary Proctor nor General Sctio
fleld is willim: to say very much on the sub
ject, although both practically admit that
General Miles did not act entirely upon his
own responsibility.
Sscretary Pioctor said to a reporter: "Gen
eral Miles did it. It is a very much mixed up
matter, and I may explain it later."
General SchoQeld was rather more com
municative. He said: "There is not much
that I can sty about it just now, but I am
willing to explain as far as I can. It bad been
suggested by a person whom I cannot mention
that it would be well to look Into the matter of
the fight on Wopnoed Knee creek the other
day, as the reports stated that several
Indian women aud children were killed.
Accordingly General Miles, at a sug
gestion from here, relieved Colonel
Forsytbe o.T bis command, pending
an investigation of the circumstances
of that right, which investigation is probably
now being conducted by General Miles.
Yes, the general management of the fight Is'
also to be looked into, too, but the particular
point in question is the death of the women
and children."
Considerable criticism against Colonel For
syte's suspension is beard in the War-Department.
It seems to he directed against the pol
icy of relieving an officer during the progress of
a campaign. Instead of waiting until the
troubles are settled. As tn the charge that
Colonel Forsytheallowed his men to kill women
and children, it is asserted that it would be im
possible in the hurry and confusion of an unex
pected fleht. and the subsenuent stampede and
"pursuit, to detect the sex of tho Sioux. One
omcer remarked:
It is preposterous to say that it is necessary
in an Indian skirmish to stop firine lone enough
to find out just what sort of an Indian yon are
shooting at. The women and the men look
very much alike in their blanket costume, and
the former are qnite as fierce fighters as the
men. A Sioux squaw is as bad an enemy as a

He Thinks His Indian Policy Has Been tbe
Proper One.
vashingtok, Jan. 5. Secretary Nonle was
questioned to-day as to what action had been
tacen on the recommendation of General
Miles that tbe Indian agents of tbe South
Dakota agencies be relieved from further duty
and that their places be filled by military
officers. The Secretary said he did not care to
discuss the matter further than to say that the
subject had not been mentioned to him by any
one with authority to act in the matter. It is
believed, however, that should General Miles'
recommendation be submitted to him by the
President for his views, tbe Secretary would
stroncly oppose tbe transfer. ,
The Secretary spoke with some earnestness
of the reports that have been in circulation re
cently to tho effect that tbe Indian were in a
starvihg condition, and that the pending
trouble grew out ot tbe fact that the Govern
ment had not kept its agreement with the
Sioux, but on the contrary had al
ready begun tn cut down the rations
supplied t them in violation of all treaty obli
gations. The Secretary denounced these state
ments as unqualifiedly false. It was time, the
Secretary thousbt, that these people should be
compelled tn do something; and he had lost
patience with thoso who upheld the Ind'ans
in their idleness. He sincerely tecretted that
the recent action of the miiitarv bad resulted
in bloodshed, and he congratulated himself
that his department was In no sense responsi
ble for it.
ITLATGHLIN IS BLAMED.
The Agent Said to Have Directed the Killing
of Sitting Dull.
CniCAGO. Jan. 5. The AVtxi says: It Is
stated on definite authority that complaints of
a series nature are to bo lodged against Indian
Agent McLaughlin, who directed the killing of
Sitting Bull. The complaints were suggested
in a mild way by a number of Army officers
whom a reporter visited. The sequel will
demonstrate the intense feelinc which resulted
from the Sl'tinc Bull affair.
Agent McLaughlin's interference distarbod
the cherished plans or the Department of the
Missouri and hastened, if It did not cause, the
recont trouble. Itv is alleged that there were
improper motives behind the killing. The
charcesacainst McLaughlin and other Indian
agents will be preferred by army officers who
are satisfied that tho Indian agents ate respon
sible for the outbreak. Interviews with a num
ber of army officers are then given. Colonel
Cnrbin said:
T am positive that General Miles has never
been given any official report of the killing ot
Sitting Bulk Until the Department isapprised
of all the circumstances in tbe case it would be
unwise to express any hasty criticism of the
action which nas ledun to the present coinpli
cation. I know that General Miles has been
very anxious to learn the truth of the Sitting
Bull affair. Agent McLanghlin's report may
have ocen delaved for very good reasons, but at
the same time this delay has caused much an
noyance to tho Department.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5. Governor Thayer
to-day received the following telegram:
Washingtok, Jan. S.
To Hon. John M.Thayer, tlovernor of Nebraska,
Lincoln, .Neh.:
At your request, rations will be issned for the
time being ror the people who have been
utilized, by the Indian troubles, to'
leave their homes. Tlils is, of course,
for tbe emergency. Ihey should be provided for
otherwise as soon a possible. Directions nave
been given for tbe issuo of any arms and am
munition that can be spared from Fort Robin
son. The supplies can be sent from the arsenal
If there aro not sufficient at the fort.
Uedfikltj PnoCTOR, Secretary of War.
The Governor is also in receipt' of an ex
tended letter from Hon. George W. Martin,
Special Relief Commissioner, who is at Rush
ville, iu which he savs the apprehension on the
part of residents in tbe small towns along the
Northwest Nebraska burder is fully warranted.
Settlers for miles atound ' have flocked to
towns, fearing an attack from roving handset
Indians; and the settlements are menaced;
Many trains arriving in Lincoln to-day brought
one or more companies of the National Guard
en route to this locality. To-morrow practically
,tbe whole of the State militia will be concen
trated on the border.
ANXIOUS TO ENLIST.
The Indian War Brings Applicants to the
Kecrultlng' Offices.
Chicago, Jano? Captain Mathey, formerly
of tbe Seventh Cavalry, hut noav stationed in
Chicago, said this evenlug that the fighting
with the Sioux Is having a marked effect at the
army recrultlne offices. He is in charge ot that
branch of the scrvico at Chicaco, aud finds that
since the slaughter at Wounded Knee the num
ber of applicants for enlistment here has Just
doubled.
A curious coincidence lies in the fact that
Captain Mathey was until a few months ago
the commander ot Troop K, of tbe Seventh
Cavalry, His immediate predecessor in com
mand was slain in tbe Nez l'crces outbreak
and bis Immediate successor was Captain Wal
lace, who perished at Wounded Knee.
