PARNELL'S BOLD STAND.

The IrUli l.eader Anxious to Kcmain Where lie Is—A Vote of Contldonce In Him Ih PilMCii by ltlg Meeting of

Nationalist In Dublin. LONDON. Nov. 21.—Mr. Parnell has sent to several of his colleagues a communication to the effect that as long as ho is supported by his old followers in tho Houso and the Irish people he will remain at the helm of politics. He says ho has never sought either otlico or reward of any kind from any Knglish party, and he does not seek such assistance now. The Irish people, not English politicians, must decide tho question of tho leadership of tho Nationalist party. At tho prosent critical juncturo ho would bo false to his duty to Ireland if ho should desert his position because of privato matters with which politics has no concern. When his mission has been accomplished and justice has boon won for Ireland after its long struggle against overwhelming odds tlio p, oplo may chooso whom they will to conduct their local affairs. If thoy deslro others as leaders tiioy will ho able to select the men of their clioico.

liitAzn., 1 nd., Nov. 21.—Tho drivers ind day men employed in tho block nines held a mass-meeting hero Thurslay at which a committee was appuintto wait upon the operators with a demand for two dollars a day. Tho demand was refused and tho day men oined the drivers iu the strife. The operators elaitn that to advance the price would be to disturb the market and would be a violation of the yearly agreement. About 2,000 miners aro thrown out of employment, and the situation is becoming serious.

CiiH'ACO, Nov. 21.—^ telegram received by the owners of one of the principal mines at ltrav.il, Ind.. at the close of business hours Thursday evening read: "Situation unchanged. F.very mine in the district closed." Tho trouble is brought about by the demands of the drivers whose duty it is to haul tho coal from the mines. Many of them are boys and all are paid uniform wages on the basis of SI.*'}$ a day. They now want two dollars, although last May employes generally entered into a contract with mine operators for the current year on a fixed scale of wages. Thore are between thirty-five and forty different producers in tho Ilrazil district. Tho strike does not, however, seetn to have extended to the neighboring minos at Carbon, Clay City. Coal ISlulT and Perth, which aro within a radius of seven to sixteen miles from lirazil. At ltrsi7.il proper the principal mines are owned by tho l'.raziI 1 ock Coal Company, which operates twelve minos and produces onethird of the total annual output.

Indiana Kartiiors' Altlaiieo. INIIIANA I'oi.is, Ind., Nov. 21.—Tho Farmers' Alliance of Indiana began its annual State meeting here Thursday. The ollieial reports show that the organization now lias 400 lodges in the Slato and a membership of 15,000. Plans for the wholesale purchase of supplies, to be sold to members at 10 per cent, more than cost price, aro under consideration, and a committee will be appointed to go before the next General Assembly to demand legislation in the interest of tho farmers of the State. The leaders say that the movement will be made more prominent in politics in tho future, and that beforo 1S92 all of the farmer organizations in the State will bo united.

Iu(11-tii:i ISrjHibUouim to Hcighi Work. INDIANAPOLIS, NOV 21.—A largo number of the leading Republicans of tho State, in response to a call from Chairman Michener, met here Thursday to consider plans for strengthening the party organization preparatory fur the contest of 1892. It was decided to at once begin forming Republican clubs throughout tho State with the idea of stimulating tho interest of members of the party in political matters. Although Mr. Michener will in a few days move to Washington it is tho desire of many of the politicians that he shall continue as chairman, and it is improbable that a change will bo made.

Imlhuiit School l*un] Truster*. INIIIANAPOI.IS, hid., Nov. 21. —At a meeting of the superintendents of city schools in Indiana held Thursday night resolutions were adopted opposing any change in the present system of apportioning school funds. There is strong objection to the system by the people in the country, because tho cities are allowed to draw more than their fair share of tho funds on fraudulent enumerations of their school children and they demand that the next Legislature shall change the law.

GOSHEN. Ind., Nov. 21.—An old man named William litillion was thrown in jail here over a year ago on a cliargo of defrauding a creditor. The old man insists that ho has nothing with which to pay the debt. His board in jail for the past year has been paid by his prosecutor.

Ill,OlllisII ED AN ITCll'.VI ED. PINK LTNXIE AUKNCY, via Special Indian Courier to Itughville, Neb., Nov. 21.—Pine Iiidge agency is certainly in imminent peril. Couriers who have arrived hero report that 000 Indians aro dancing at. White Clay, nine miles to the east. Three hundred of them aro warriors, and each has a riflo strung to his back. The Indians aro also dancing at Porcupine, twenty-two miles away at Wounded Knee, fifteen miles distant at Medicine Kod, twenty-live miles to tl* east. and at Curn Creek, thirty-live miles away. All these warriors are heavily armed and are acting suspiciously. Their scouts can bo seen from Pino Ridgo riding leisurely on tho crests of tho Ituttos. The military ollicers and agency officials aro in a quandary. Agent Koyer admitted at noon that there would surely bo a battle, but that tho soldiers would not tako tho offensive until re-enforce-ments arrive from Forts Niobrara, McKinney and Meade. Genoral lfrooke, in command of the troops, anticipates troublo and so does Special Indian Agent Cooper, who has just arrived hero. Thero was a council of war Thursday morning, but no plan of attack has yet been agreed upon. It Is known, however, that some of tho olllcerg advocated a speedy march on the ghost dancers for the purpose of breaking up the frenzied orgies now going on around tho agencies. This plan will doubtless bo adopted as soon as reinforcements come. If the warriors make any resistance the llotchkiss guns will ho turned loose on them without mercy.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 21. (Jpneral Brooke and his company have reached Pino Hidge Agency. Two troops of cavalry that have been patroling the north side of the reservation all summer will join the company. Tho lTno Ridge Indians are greatly excited and continne their dancing. General ltrooke is informed that bands of Indians are en route from Rosebud Agency to join thoso at I'ine Rldgo.

An order has been received at Fort Omaha to have tho four companies remaining thero roady to go to tho front at a moment's notice. The companies aro E, l'\ Ci and II. These companies, so far at least as the commands aro concerned, comprise some of tho oldest Indian fighters in this section of tho country.

ROSEIU'D AGENCY, S. D., Nov. 21.— Thero aro nineteen companies now on hand and ten moro companion within a day's, or. at most, two days', ma^ch away. This makes quite a respectable army, and in the opinion of traders hero will be more ihan sullicient to drive all ideas of winter war out of the heads of tho red men who have been going wild over the ghost dance. The Indians themselves do not appear to look upon tho arrival of the troop3 as a menaco to them. Most of the young bucks aro away, however, having gone up lllaek Pipo creek to hold another dance. The agency ollicers. the traders and those of tin* settlers who were not frightened into fleeing to tho towns along the Klkhom road feel groat confidence that all danger is at an ond. The troops come from both tho east and west and more are expected from Fort Sully and Fort Hennett. where Captain McGowan and Captain Hurst have four companies ot tho Twelfth Infantry. It is belioved that Colonel Sumner, who takes command of Fort Meade, north of tho Black Hills, has orders to send troops from thero to Pino Ridge in case the present forces aro not sufficient to avert any outbreak, as now seems sure.

MANDAN, N. 1)., Nov. 21.—An easier feeling prevails and settlers aro returning to their homes. A Sioux teamster reports tho Sioux waiting for supplies at Fort Yates and thinks thero will bo no immediate troublo.

PiEititE, S. D., Nov. 21.-i-Captain Norvillo, special Indian agent stationed at this point, has returned from a trip up tho lied river, where ho had gone on tho receipt of tbo report that the Indians on account of tho Messiah danco wero failing to attend tho distributions of rations and wero killing cattle. Ho reports that ho found tho Indians rory much excited and koeping up their ghost dances with a zest and perseverance that is alarming. He found "Hump Rod" with about R00 braves of the Two Kettle band all painted up and acting in a very suspicious manner. Tho Indians danced all Wednesday night, and, although the night wasquito cold thoy wore without a stitch of clothing, this being one of tho regulations of tho new dance. When tho captain, who is well known among tho Indians, wont into the camp they refused to recognize him and ho could got no information from them whatever. Cowboys who have arrived here say that tho Indians have killed a number of cattle and are acting in a. very strango manner, and that tho famous Indian, S'eepps-the-Cripplo, told thorn they had better keop on their guard. The Indians purchased twenty-five ponies of ono of tho cattlemen and told thom that they wore all going to Montana to soo tho Messiah.

KANSAS CITY, Ma, Nov. 21.—A dispatch from Pino Ridgo from James N. Finley, formerly of this city, now posttrader at Pino Ridgo agency, was rocelvod hero Thursday night. The dispatch mentions tho arrival of tho troops, and continues as follows: "Tho lnamnH nro actually crazed with religious (anatnclflin, and tho excitement at the ghost dance* Is* of the most Intense character. Add to their cxcilement an utter rcckltssncss of oaosequenoos Induoed by blind fanataclsm and you may gala soma Idea of the situation.
