The Wash ington correspondent of the Phila delphia Time telegraphs the follow ing to-night: President Harrison has this week issued an edict that J. Donald Cameron must not be re-elected to the United States Senate. Benjamin Har rison early this week sent Private Secretary Elijah Halford over to Ho. 1829 J street for Matthew Stanley Quay. The Junior Senator hastened to obey the Presi- dental summons. Mr. Quay was informed that the Administration wanted Don Cam eron beaten for the benate, and that if Mr. Quay desired the continuance of the semi amicable (but yet eomewhat strained) re lations -nith the "White House, he must cither take a hand himself in defeating Cataero.i, or call off his lieutenants in the Legis'aturc from the support of Cameron. fccnator Quay was informed that Cameron , had made peace between the White House and himself impossible; that he bad called Harrison to a 1'lorida Senator "a chump," and had declared his intention of never coming near the White House in the event of Harrison's election, and had further de clared that in all the Harrison household not a "thoroughbred" could be found. o Caineron Man "Need Apply. Mr. Harrison went on to declare that he had given 1 .s promise to prominent Pecn STlvnians,who demanded.th.it the admin istration assist in downing Cameron, that Dave Martin must be made to understand that the administration, backed by civil ser vice rules, demanded that if the Philadel phia office holders expected to keep their heads on, they must keep away from the fight at Harrisburg, and Mr. Harrison ad mitted that he had given assurance to the anti-Cameron Philadelphians "that no ap plicant for office in Pennsylvania, sailing under Cameron's colors, could or should hereafter successfully present any claims to official favor from the President." Mr. Quay was informed that if he owed anything to the Senior Senator that there would be neither difficulty nor delay in liquidating these obligations. At this Quay, who has never been charged by either Iriend or foe with deserting friend, bristled up and answered with vigor: "But, Mr. President, I do not owe Don Cameron a dollar." Notice Served on Qaay. At this the President giew white about the "gills" and gave the silent Senator his ultimatum, that if Mr. Quay supported Cameron in the pending contest there conld not be any longer peace between Mr. Quay and the Administration. A third person to this interview insisted to the man of Beaver that the re-election of Cameron meant cer tain political death to Quay; that when two men rode the same horse, one must needs ride before; that if Cameron got sis years more in the Senate, Quay's prestige and power were at an end. The conversation was frank on both sides, but Mr. Quay at once declined to make any promises, and asked time to consider. The interview was renewed at the Senator's house, No. 1829 J street, and he was re minded that there had not been any social intimacy between the Quay and Cameron families, and that the "combine" made in Allegheny county between Sam Barr, an ex-Cougressmau from Dauphin, and for many years General Simon Cameron's pri vate secretary, and Chris Magee, which elected Cameronian Senators and members of this Legislature, while it defeated Dela mater, was ratified by Cameron himself. Explained the Harrisburg Situation. Mr. Quay listened to all these statements, urged with all the eagerness of Presidental hatred toward Mr. Cameron. He promised to give the matter serious consideration, and gave Mr. Harrison's next friend, who con ducted the second interview at the Quay mansion, a promise to make his decision during the week last past. The first thing Quay did was to telegraph to bis son Bich ard at Harrisburg to come to Washington. Richard answered the summons and reached Washington Fridaymorning by the early tram. He explained the situation; that Tjggart claimed to have 31 votes; that these votes wore Taggart "masks," but behind these they were ior any candidate whose shibboleth was "anything to defeat Cameron." On Friday Senator Quay remained at home all day. and his depression of spirits was plainly evident He talked about the fight, but rather guardedly. He said an agent of the Associated Press had just called to ask him whether there was anything in the rumor that he would resign his seat in the Senate. No Intention or Resigning. "I told him," said the Senator "that this was the first I had heard of it I did not be lieve it was true; that it reminded me of an old roundhead farmer named John Milton Oliver, of Washington county, whose obitu ary was written in all the country papers. When Oliver's neighbors called ou him to condole and ask for an ex planation, he said: 'Why, boys, when I first, heard of it I knew it was a lie," The Senator's good humor was not restored even by the humorous side of the situation, and he said: "I have almost made np my mind, force bill or no. force bill, to pack up and go down to .Flor ida and stay there during the remaining ses sion of the Senate." At 8 r. si. Mr. Quay received a summons to go to the Senate. He did so, and remained to cheer the fighting Bepublicans until 8 o clock this morning, when, completely worn out, he went home and slept till 2 P. M. to-day, and after a hasty breakfast at 2:30 p. m., returned to the committee room on Inter.State Commerce. Here he made short work of 20 or "30 visitors who had waited all day lor him. lie Will Support Cameron. But before he went down to the floor of the Senate, he took np the conversation where he had broken off short the day be fore, and said: "It is clear to me that in this contest it is my duty to support Don Cameron for Senator, and that yon can say is what I intend to do." He expressed him self as feeling better after his all-night vigil on the force bill last night, and said that the fight had not got even warm, as the Be publicans must give battle for at least a week, till Gideon Moody and Pettigrew, of Dakota, and Ingalls, of Kansas, and three other Western Senators could be brought back to Washington. The Senator -expressed doubts about the passage of the force bill. Senator Me Pherson, of New Jersey, on the other hand, gives it as his opinion that a majority of the recalcitrant Senators will be whipped into its support. Quay's, closest friends declare to-night that Thomas Victory Cooper, "the red headed and hopeinl" Collector, will not keep his head on longer than the ides of March, and there is a whisper that as to the Harrison aud Cameron fight the end is not yet Harrison is in a white heat, and has his anti-Cameron war paint on, and in the event of Cameron winning, the two Phila delphia officeholders, at least, will go, and go soon. A SCARE ABOUT TELLER. The Colorado Senator is Urged to Look After His Fences. Dexvcb, Jan. 17. Several telegrams have been sent from here to Senator Teller at AVashmgton, urging him to come to Col orado, as his chances for re-election to the "United States Senate are in danger. This conclusion is without foundation. While there is a factional fight in the Re publican members of the Assembly over local matters, there is not the slightest doubt that every Bepublican of both Honses will vote &r Mr. Teller next Tuesday. The Be publican majority on joint ballot will be 50, their being 49 members in the House and 26 in the Senate. THE SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOESBXF. Moody Will Undoubtedly lead the Straight Republican Hosts.

It was discovered to-day that forgery or something very like it had been resorted to to give vitality to the rumor that the New York and New England and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Bail roads were to be consolidated. To-day the New York, Hew Havea and Hartford people learned for the first time that they were saddled with the New England system at a price 14 points above the market, and had guaranteed to pay 4 per cent dividends on the common" stock. In other words, New' England bad risen during the night from 41 odd to par. President Clark, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, was greatly worked up at tne receipt ot a telegram this morning from a prominent Boston broker dated New York. It was the first intima tion that he had had that a con. tract was in existence by the terms of which the New Haven Company were to bny the New England and that Mr. Clark's signature was attached to the docu ment He lost no time in informing his correspondent that the document was a for gery, and that if the forgers conld be found out he wonld make them smart for it Mr. Clark had not heard that there was a second fraudulent contract floating around, which was a companion piece to the one referred to in the dispatch, and which purported to have been Signed by Jay Gould and Russell Sage, besides being wit nessed by ex-Judge Dillon. Iu this second agreement Jay Gould and Bussell Sage, who are supposed to have ac quired a controlling interest In New York and New England, in which, they are di rectors, appear to pledge themselves to turn over the road to the New Haven Company on the terms offered by Mr. Clark and the other four directors.

The Legislative Committee of the State Farmers Alliance was in session to-day, and, among other things, proposed to establish a State Agri cultural Bureau, believing that enough can be saved from the letrenchment in other de partments to run this bureau, which is to furnish farmers facts relative to the grading and shipping of grain.

The Board of Health to-day discovered that a case of smallpox had broken out in a house on North Everett avenue, in a remote district The board was quickly assembled and every precaution directed to prevent the spread of the disease. The patient ia a mail carrier named William Hosier and it is thought he contracted the disease while carryingmail which was sent from Texas, where the disease is epidemic. The health authorities insist that their precautions are so thorough that no one else can contract the disease without invading the premises. A big placard bearing the word "smallpox" was hung np on the house to-day and greatly startled the community. Several families are moving away. THE LONG DAY ENDED. AFTER A SESSION OF TBTBTY HOURS THE SENATE ADJOUENS. Final Action on the Elections Bill No Further Advanced A Crisis WIU Be Beached, However, in a Day or Two It Is Thought Washington, Jan 17. After 30 hours continnous session, the Senate finds itself no further advanced to final action upon the elections bill than when it entered upon its consideration at the beginning of the second session of the Fifty-first Congress, now rapidly drawing to a close. The stubborn fact still confronts this friends of the bill that they must secure a Bepublican quorum before auy progress can be made, for, although the minority has not yet resorted to the extreme practice of refraining entirely from voting, it is generally understood that they will do so in case of necessity, although with some re luctance. At present there are 44 Bepublican Sen ators in Washington, or one less than a quorum, supposing that the Bepublicans who are numbered with them attend and vote. Whether they vote for or against the bill, and itSySupporting propositions, is not the important question. Their votes one way or the other are desired in order to make the quorum in case it is decided to call up the cloture resolution. The Bepub lican absentees are Blair, Chandler, Far well, Moody, Fierce, Pettigrew and Sauire. The Senatorial contests in which the three first named Senators were interested have been practically settled by caucus action, so they may be expected in Washington in a short time to make the necessary quorum. It is not clear how the proposition made by Senator Stewart this morning, to recom mit the elections bill, can come before the Senate as long as the present programme is kept in operation. When daylight arrived this morning the Senate was still in session with the elections bill before it At 9:30 o'clock a quorum appeared and Mr. Faulkner proceeded with his speech. -Notwithstanding bis long vigil Mr. Faulk nerwas in good voice, and when not quoting from his books spoke with earnestness. He concluded at 1030 o'clock, having held the. floor tor almost 1- hours. Mr. Daniel followed in a long speech against the bill. Mr. Stewart gave notice of a motion to recommit the bill. Several unimportant amendments to the bill were adopted, when Mr. Aldrich gave notice that on Tuesday next he would ask the Senate to proceed to the consideration of the resolution to change the rules of the Senate. The bill was then laid aside, and the Senate at 6 o'clock ad journed. ' THE WAB IN CHILE. Troops 'Remain Faithful, and a Reward Offered for Submission. Lima, Jan. 17.

New Yobk, Jan. 17. Most of the lead ing Bepublicans who congregate at the Fifth Avenue Hotel have in the last month smiled at the reports of any friction in the Bepublican County Committee. In fact, the. factions which since the advent of the Harrison 'administration have ex isted among the Bepublicans in New York City and in the State have nnited in disavowing the reports of trouble. "But it was learned to-day that there is a fire smouldering under the ashes which is likely to burst out any time. In the last two Sundays important con ferences have beep held by Bepublicans, who were determined to advance the prin ciple of home rule in the government of the affairs of the Bepublican party in New York City. Men who are known to be openly opposed to ex-Senator Piatt were not invited to them. Neither were the personal friends of ex-Senator Warner Miller. Further information regarding the conferences is that this new movement is meant to divorce the management of the Bepublican machine in .New York City from the management of the machine in the rural districts.. There was no personal strictures upon Mr. Piatt, but his interference in city politics was con sidered unwise and detrimental. It was said to-day the plans will be put in the form of a document, which will be handed to Sen ator Evarts and will eventually be pre sented to President Harrison. ' TO FIGHT THE TABIFF.

HE HAD CAUGHT A SLIGHT COLD And Was Confined to His Bed Only Three Days "Before the End Came. A GREAT MAR'S INTERESTING CAREER Washington, Jan. 17. The community was greatly shocked this evening by the news that George Bancroft, the venerable historian; was dead. It had been realized that Mr. Bancroft conld hardly survive much longer the increasing infirmities inci dent to his extremely old age, but he had been in cheerfnl spirits and apparently bet ter health this year since his return from Newport than for several seasons past, so that his death was sudden and unexpected to all save a few intimate friends who knew of the attack of illness which carried him off. Death occurred at 3:40 o'clock this afternoon. The end was quiet and peaceful and came after a period of unconsciousness lasting 24 hours. tgMr. Bancroft for some time past had been in the habit of spending about five months in Newport and for the winter and colder season in Washington. Two years ago he had a serious attack of sickness, which kept him in bed fonr or five weeks, and as he was then in his 89th year, grave appre hensions were felt for his life. He recov ered, however, though never after that as strong as he had formerly been. HI Only Three Days. He came to this city from New York Oc tober 1, in good health and spirits. He had an excellent appetite and a good iaculty for' sleep until last week, when he caught a slight cold. He had always lived carefully, but generously, and had said repeatedly within the last six months that he never felt better or had a better appetite. Notwithstanding his cold he continued to seek outdoor exer cise every day until Thursday, when be took his bed as a matter ofprecaution. The whole illness was less than three days. He failed rapidly yesterday and became uncon scious in the afternoon, in which' state he remained until the end. His son, John C. Bancroft, who, with his wife, kept house for the historian, was with him in his last mo ments. It was decided this evening to hold the funeral services at 10 o'clock Tuesdav morn- 1noinJ3t Jolux'iySniscopaUChnrch(.'jTleii interment will taice place at Dorchester, Mass., where Mr. Bancroft's wife is buried. The Historian's Daily Life. Mr. Bancroft was always fond of outdoor exercise, which contributed in a large meas ure to his good health and prolonged life. Alter his horseback rides he regularly walked about the city attended by an old servant He lived in a large old-fashioned, double house on H street in a fashionable neighborhood,andhisgardenhere,as at New port, was filled with choice roses, in which flower he delighted. He regarded his life work as finished two years ago, and of late had done no literary work. During the last decade he had re vised his great work, the history of the United States, going over it in a severelv critical style and eliminating the flowers o'f rhetoric in the earlier work. His last pro duction was a history of the formation of the Constitution, He undertook to write a history of President Polk's administration, in whose Cabinet he served as Secretary of the Navy, but was compelled to abandon it George Bancroft, the historian, was born in Worcester, Mass., October 3, 1800. In 1817 he graduated at Harvard, and in 1818 went to Germany to continue his studies at Goottingen, where in 1820 he received the degree of doctor of philosophy. After sev eral years' travel in Great Britain and Cen tral .Lurope. he returned to the United States, and in 1822 served as tutor of Greek at Harvard, At that time he was being prepared for the ministry, but soon -afterward turned his attention to letters. In 1823 he published a volume of poems, and began contributing to the North American and American Quarterly Reviews' translations from the German poets and original 'articles. Later, in connertion with Dr. J, G. Cogswell, he opened the Bound Hill School, in North ampton, Mass., of which the historian Mot ley was a pupil. At that time he translated some of Heeren's works from, the German, followed in 1834. 1837 and 1840 by the first three volumes of the History of the United States. nu Political Career. An active advocate of the principles of the Democratic party, he frequently spoke on the stump and in the lecture room. In January, 1838, President Van Buren appoiutcd him collector of the port oi Boston, which office he held lor three years. In 1844 he was nominated for Governor of Massachusetts by the Democrats, but not elected. In March, 1845, President Polk called him to a seat in his Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy, which he occupied until September, 1846. He resigned to accept the appointment ot Min ister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain, where he remained until the summer of 1849. In England and France the public archives and many private collections of important State papers were open to his in vestigation. When Mr. Bancroft returned to, the United States he chose New York City for bis home, and resumed work on his important History of the United States. In 1852, 1853, and 1854 were published volumes 4, 5 and 6 of this great work. His Eulogy of Lincoln. In April, 1865, he delivered in New York City, at the obsequies of President Lincoln, a eulogy on tbe departed, and in February following he pronounced an oration on the life and services of that distingnished man. In 1858 appeared the seventh volume of his History, followed in 1860 by the eighth, and in 1866 by the ninth. In 1867 he was ap pointed Minister to Berlin, where he con tinued for seven years. In 1874 he returned, and made-his home in Washington, during which year he pub lished the tenth volume of his History. From that time until 1881 he was engaged ou his History of the Formation of the Con stitution, which was published early in 1882. Since then he has been largely oecnpied with a thorough revision of his History of the United States, published in six volumes. Mr., Bancroft has been correspondent of theBoyal Academy of Berlin aud also of the French Institute. He was made D, Cs. t& mzJmmtt George sBancron. L. at Oxford in 1849 and Doctor Juris by the Universitv of Bonn in 1868, and in Sep tember, 1870,' celebrated at Berlin the fiftieth anniversary of receiving his first degree at Goottingen. One of the Great Historians. Of his history William H. Prescott says that it places him among the great historical writers of the age; and Edward Everett re marked that be was one .of the ablest his torians that have appeared in the English language. In an address of his, which was given at the third meeting of the American His torical Association, of which he was Presi dent, at Washington, April 27, 1886, and afterward published in the Magazine of American History for June of the same year, Mr. Bancroft wrote, what will now be read with especial mterest and solemnity, viz: "I was trained to look upon life here as a season for labor. Being more than fourscore years old, I know the time for my release will soon, come. Conscious of being near the ahore'of eternity, I await without im patience and without dread the beckoning of the hand which will summon me to rest." GOV. CAMPBELL'S ENEMIES.

TELEOBAM TO TSX DISPATCH. Columbus, Jan. 17. The State prison is becoming an interesting source of news. Warden Dyer has been served with a habeas corpus writ to appear before the United States Court at Cincinnati, and show by what authority he holds a prisoner named George Alexauder, received from Tennessee in 1889 on a two years' sentence for obtaining an illegal pension. He was convicted on two counts, and his attorneys claim he cannot beheld on more than one nndcr tho circumstances. . Bud Smith, an eight-year prisoner from Stark county, died in the hospital from heart trouble. He was a lourth-termer and his relatives did not know where he was un til he died, when a half brother, a promi nent citizen of Alliance, was informed. It has developed that the investigation which has been ordered of the management of the penitentiary is the outgrowth of the late special session of the Legislature, when Governor Campbell made a great many enemies among the members. One of them stated to-day, if the Governor wanted- an investigation so badly they would give him more of it in con nection with the State institutions. It has been arranged to spring a surprise at the meeting of trustees of tbe Blind Asylum next Monday evening, when the Superin tendent will preier charges against the steward, charging him with drunkenness and jising the money of the State to keep a supply ot liquors on hand.

A STUPENDOUS PLOT, Mormons Charged With Inciting 10, 000 Indians to Revolt and REVEL IN PILLAGE AND MURDER. General Miles' Action Crushed tho Upris ing at the Start. ' THE SAVAGES ARE STILL RESTLESS rSPECIAL TELEOBAM TO TnK DISPATCH. 1 PineEidge Agency, S. D., Jan. 17. General Miles is of the opinion, from his -own observations and conversations he has had with old scouts and Indians, that a gen eral uprising in the spring was contem plated by the 10,000 redskins in the North west. The ghost dance, as it is now gener ally known, was merely a cloak or griev ances which the Indians have suffered dur ing the past 15 years, and the Messiah idea was the creation of meddlesome Mormons in Utah and Nevada. Combining their dance with false teach ings of the Mormons, the leaders in the plot hoped to inflame every Indian in the North west with religious fanaticism, so that when spring came and the grass was green they would be sufficiently excited to join in a re volt, which was to extend from the British line to the Indian Nation, and from the Missouri river to California. It was the teaching of the Mormons that when all was ready the followers of the Messiah would have only to stamp their feet and the earth would open and swallow up the whites. The Indians were well prepared for the revolt. They were poorly clad and half starved through the mismanagement of their affairs by the Interior Department at Wash ington, and in this condition they were greedy to accept any belief that promised them the return ot their bnffalos. Preparing for the Upheaval. Shrewd'old fellows like Sitting Bull had been working for years for an upheaval, which would involve all the Indians in tbe Northwest Their yonng men had Deen buy ing guns and saving their ammnnition lor tbe trouble which was to come at a vaguely fixedjdate in the future. So industriously did the savages, prepare themselves for war that Pine Bidge Indians were frequently caught digging bullets out of buttes at Oel ricb, where Captain Wells and his two com panies of soldiers were spending the summer in rifle practice. Enough information has been gained to show that the Indians who were to take a prominent part in the upheaval were Sioux, Arapboes, Shoshones, Cheyennesand Crows. The Utes, Piutes and NezPerces were to take the warpath during the excitement. This fact is proved to some extent by tbe gradual spread of the ghost dance to all these tribes during the present winter. The leaders of this stupendous plot meant mur der and pillage throughout the Northwest. With all their people inflamed with relig ious fanaticism, they could command a well armed warrior for every soldier in the United States army. Working on the Young Braves. They were the irreconcilable savages of the Western Indians, who have done all in their power to stop the advance of civiliza tions and who have been embittered by the harsh treatment of the Indian Bureau. The younger and more progressive element in the tribes conld not be inflammed Into revolt by mere harragues for war. It was for this reason therefore, that the Messiah craze was started. . ihVnaturalxnporstltiou of the redskins soon absorbed the teachings of the wily old fellows, and when the snow came even the staunchest friends of the Government among tbe Indians were dancing with insane vigor. -The killing of Sitting Bull, however, upset everything, for a time at least. The Indians became divided among themselves, and then disconcerted at the rapidity with which troops were concentrated, it became evident to them that death was sure to follow any demonstration on their part pin the turmoil which existed in the great Sioux Nation, many of the Indians of the Northern agencies stampeded for Pine Bidge, which seemed to jthem to be the pos sible theater for the crash. Some of them came all the way from the Crow country, while others represented Standing Bock and the Cheyenne river agencies. Still others came from the Missouri river. Crashed the Plot Big Foot happened to get into the crater just when it was hot There was an ex plosion, and Big Foot and his 200 people were wiped out. This conflict destroyed whatever life there yet remained in the plot Sitting Bull's sister is a prisoner at Pine Bidge. In an interview with The Dis patch correspondent to-day she admitted that the Indians had contemplated an up heaval in the spring, and that if it had not been crushed by the masterly work of Gen eral Miles and his subordinates, tbe extreme Northwest would have been pillaged from end to end. There is some doubt, however, as to whether the trouble is all over. There are still thousands of savages in a restless con dition. They are stunned for the moment by tbe terrific blow the army has strnck, but there are many who believe that as soon as the grass gets grown a revolt will break out in another quarter. The 10,000 Indians who are here at Pine Bidge are also to surrender their arms. They have had 48 hours in which to turn in their rifles, but up to noon, to-day only 81 weapons had been handed to Agent Price. With few exceptions, ths guns antedate Daniel Boone. Broles May Make Trouble. The Indians in the hostile camp had a conncil all last night The Brutes, want to remain here with tbe Ogallallas, but it now seems probable that they will be separated, the Brnles being escorted back to their old reservation by Captain Taylor's scouts, or by a detachment of military. There is a possibility of trouble if this step is taken, as the Brnles say they are willing to do everything General Miles orders, provided they are permitted to re main here. The Sioux from the northern agencieswill be weeded out of the hostile Village and given new camping grounds, preparatory to their transfer to their homes. So firmly convinced is General Miles that the war is over, that preparations are being made to send the troops back. Te garri sons at Ft Boblnson, Ft Niobrara and Ft McKinney will be strengthened for service during tbe winter. The famous Sixth Cav alry, of New Mexico, has been assigned to the Department of the Platte and will be stationed at Ft Kinney and Ft Niobrara. General Carr, who commands this regiment, will have his headquarters at the latter fort Fts.' Bobinson, Niobrara and McKinney commandthe great Pfhe Bidge Agency. Tbe Seventh Infantry, from Ft Logan, will be ordered home. The flying Ninth Cavalry will probably return to Ft Bobinson. Cranks Are Pouring In. The Seventh Cavalry, whose home is Ft Biley, in Kansas, will, it is said, be ordered to New Mexico. It is probable that a regi ment of Infantry will be kept at the agency during the winter. Every possible precau tion will be taken to keep'the Indians from' breaking loose again in the Spring. Cranks are beginning to cdme to the agency. The Eev. Dr. Hansen, of the Ar bitration Leagne of America, is here. He is a Quakerfroin Philadelphia. He is going to put down the rebellun by persuasion. There is a Messiah at Bushville, who is laid up with, a broken leg, which he got wl"le drunk. Miss Sickles, of Chi cago, who is here to get Little Wound to lecture at the Auditorium, hu been unsuc cessful. Miss Elaine Goodalft, who has made some sort of a reputation as a magazine writer, is about to marry a full-blooded Sioux doctor. Then there are reports of the coming of English officers, who are going to join Buffalo Bill, who has gone away, and kill all the Indians in sight. There was another dentil in the Indian hospital to-night Sheath-the-Knife, a venerable savage who got mixed up in the Big Foot fight, passed away without uttering a word. The doctors wanted to saw his leg off, but Sbeath-tbe-Knife couldn't see how he was going to ride a horse with one leg, and so he refused to submit to the amputation. A WICKED COMPROMISE, FATHER CRAFT DENOUNCES THE BE TEKTI0N OF CIVIL AGENTS. He Says the Indians Should Be Looked After by the Soldiers Story or the Out break and the Causes Leading Up to It Promised. ruriCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCHM New 1'obk, Jan. 17. Father Francis M. Craft, the young Catholic missionary who" was wounded at the battle of Wounded Knee creek, says in a letter received to-day by General O'Beirne, Assistant Superin tendent of Immigration-: "I think I am en tirely out of danger now. As soon as J am able to write a long letter I will send you a full account of the battle, with a map and a full account of the Indian situation. I will begin it to-day and finish it as soon as lam able. For the present there is some thing I wish you would see carried out with all tbe force possible. It is this: This agency, Pine Bidge, now has a military agent and has been entirely transferred to the War Department This is as it shonld be. "Had it been done in time enough before the battle ot Wounded Knee, to silence the malicious whites, who were opposing the plans of therarmy and misrepresenting its intentions-, and jn time to enable the of ficers to matur lans and carry them out nnoppos . ttfj '"'Id have been no battle, as y6v fyifo ""1 I send you the full accon- O the transfer has been made, the-- J'o ' safely in and 'the trouble prabv Vn 4. -d the good results of the traniK 400, w on all sides. But this is not t. Au " other Sioux agencies, the Bostvt it Creek, Cheyenne Biver and Standiu jk. "In the case of those agencies thet has been a disgraceful compromise. A military agent has, it is true, a supervision over each of those agencies, but the civil agent has been allowed to remain. This is very wrong and entirely unnecessary. The only excuse offered is that the Indian ring can not afford to loose the plunder it has so long enjoyed, and for which it has caused misery, starvation and bloodshed. Noth ing less than an entire transfer of all the Sioux agencies to tbe War Department will be of any use. The compromise is disgrace ful, unnecessary, useless and a dead give away of the motives of the Indian Depart ment "Please protest strongly and unceasingly through the press, and by every other effect ive means, against tbe compromise, and de mand that the transfer be entire and im mediate. Use my name in this matter just as you please. I will write again very soon. Yours sincerely, F. M. J. Cbatt. "P ST Be.

T., Jan. 17. There is trouble at the Kiowa Indian school at Ana dorka, Wichita agency. On the 9th mst the principal of the school punished a Kiowa pupil for some misconduct. Imme diately afterward, the boy persuaded two other Indian pupils, to run away from the school with them. Their absence was noticed that evening, but the principal supposed that they had gone to the camp of the refractory boys' parents, which was two miles distant Saturday morning the teacher went in pursuit of the truants, bnt they were not to be fonnd. Th-ir parents were notified of their absence, and friends were started out in search of them. They were found Sunday, the first one, about 10 years of years of age, about 20 miles distant from the school, and two others, three or fonr years older, were found within the next ten miles. All had been frozen to death. It is supposed that the boys lost their way in the heavy snowstorm. As soon as the principal learned of their fate, tearing the vengeance of the Indians, he left that locality for parts unknown. A report says that 400 or 500 angry Indians were camped in the vicinity of tbe agency, and are threatening to burn the school build ing and to kill the principal if he can be found. An application has becD made to tne commanding officer at Fort Sill for troops to prevent any outoreaK. Want the Oleo Traffic Regulated. Mason City, Ia.. Jan. 17.

LENDING A HELPING HAND.' I Unanimous Sentiment ia Favor of Adopting Lenient Action. AM0DKT OP THE LIABILITIES. Statement Hade by a Trusted Represent - tive of the Firm. TBE PUESIDE3T KETDKSS TO THE CITI , M If the action taken and the sentiment ex pressed by the creditors at their meeting, yesterday afternoon, can be takaa -as a cri terion, it might safely be said that tbe trouble in the Westinghouse affairs U about over. Never was there a more unanimous senti ment in favor ot giving a company every chance to recuperate than that expressed by the 30 persons representing firms to which the Westinghouse Company is indebted, as they gathered in the office of J.B. Haines & Sons, before the meeting was called to order and discussed the all-absorbing topie No one appeared who was not a friend of the company and willing to take any action that would help it out ot the present difficul ties. One man was heard to remark: ".Not only sympathy for Mr. Westing house, but sympathy for Paporg should prompt us to be lenient, as, if we should al low this company to drop it would make an awful sore place in our industries. In fact, we can't afford to do it and I hope the proper action will be taken." That seemed to be echoed by all present, as on every hand men talked of the great damage it would do the city to allow this matter to be dropped. What 3Ien From Other Cities Think. A gentleman representing an Brie firm was present and bis remarks indicated the feeling that i? prevalent in other cities. The fact that the advisory committee returned the checks was constrned by him to mean considerable more than it does, and he says that others thinkis he did orrthis question. After it was explained he acknowl edged that he had not previously fully un derstood the matter and returned home last night feeling somewhat relieved. It was shortly after 4 o'clock when W. B. McLean, Chairman oi the Creditors' Com mittee, called the assembly to order. Charles A. Wolfe, as secretary, read the report of the committee. This committee had in structions to visit the Westinghouse. build ing and secure a statement of the Indebted ness of the company. There, the report said, the committee waa received by Vice President Bannister, who treated the mem bers with the utmost courtesy and did all ia bts 'power to further their work. The amount of liabilities held by local men is placed at about 147,500 and that of ontalda creditors at about $300,000. Mr. Bannister in his conversation with the committee, said that matters are looking; mnch brighter just at present, and if tha creditors follow out tbe policy as laid down by the committee the business can soon be placed on a paying basis. Business Large in Volume and Profit At present, said Mr. Bannister, the busi ness is large in volume and profit and it can and will be carried on on a basis to guaran tee success. The banks are amply secured and preferred stock accepted by the creditors will be good, as it has the first chance at tha assets of tbe companv. A telegram was received by the creditors committee from a Mr. Hartley, of Chicago., The gentleman had been asked bv creditors' of the company there what action they should take and he was withholding his advice until he should learn what action was taken at this meeting. One Chicago firm that holds a claim for $2,500 has declared its willingness to take that amount in preferred stock." Chairman McLean "At cresent the busi ness of the Westinghouse Electric and Man ufacturing Company is doing a business of $15,000 daily, and that without agents out See what an immense business that is and what it can be made after this trouble is over. See how great a benefit it is to Pitts burg to keep it here. Mr. Bannister assured the committee that with proper management it would be worth $600,000 profit per year to the stockholders. It wonld certainly be a great pity to allow this concern to leave Pittsburg, and I don't believe anybody here wants to see that occur. This committee was appointed and this meeting of creditors called to take action that will prove profita ble to all concerned. Agree to Accept Preferred Stock. "Now, we have a paper to present, which I hope you will favorably consider, as it is of great importance to all present and to tho entire city of Pittsburg." Secretary Wolfe read the beading of the agreement to take preferred stock in lieu of casbj as follows: "We, the undersigned creditors of the Westinghouse Electric and Mauntacturfhg Company, agree to accept preferred stock at the par value of $50 per share to the amount set opposite our names, on the condition that $1,500,000 be sub scribed before February 3, 1891, the amounts to be entered as a credit 1m the several ac counts." As an explanation, theSecretary said that the intention was to give all present a ch an c to sign the paper, and the first of next week, the committee will visit all the local credit ors and make an effort to have all sign. F. J. Totten I move that all present who are teady to take preferred stock sign tho paper. It was seconded, and when the question was declared open for discussion Mr. Totten said: "Although my claim is not large, I want to give tbe company a hand, and I be lieve everybody here feels the same way. To Help City, Company and Employes. "We will not only be helping the com pany," continued Mr. Totten, "but we will thus help the city and the great number of men who depend on these Institutions for a livelihood. I wonld like to ask one ques tion: Will any action we take give the peo. pie who have entered suit any advantage?' J. B. Haines, Jr. No; Mr.'Westinghousa will not allow that to ocenr. Judgment cannot be secured before February 8, and the result of this action will ba known on. the 3d. If it fails, I believe Mr. Westing house will ask for a receiver rather than give these men an undue advantage. Beside, I believe when they see the action taken at this meeting they will retrace their steps and accept the preferred stock. It is a shame that any sucn action was taken. There is only about $3,800 in question In all of tbe suits. In a general disenssibn in a conversational way many expressed the same belief "as did Mr. names. Air. Totten said beonly aske. tne question to get an cxprcasiuanropinlo. s i .; 1 -4 li? ftl i-v-t,. - ,T &&kZZ,cH iiC-1'
