President and Member of the Council and an Attorney Indicted on Bribery Charges. Kansas City, Jan. 1. Late yesterday the special grand jury impaneled for tho purpose of investigating charges of bribery against members of the City Council found indictments against tho following persons: Fred M. Hayes, Speaker and member of the lower house of the Council; Dennis Bowes, memberof thelowerhouse.andLewisIrvine, attorney for the Eleventh-street incline plane. Tho indictments against Councilmen Hayes and Bowes are for offering to accent a bribe. The indictment against Irvine is for offering to give a bribe. The charges made against the members of the lower house of the Council which led to the investigation resulting in the indictments originated with the projectors of the Eleventh-street inclined plane, and grew out of their failure to get a franchise ordinance passed by the Council after having purchased ground for their terminals and made all other arrangements in the expectation of getting the franchise. The chief backer of this enterprise was Thomas Mellon, a banker of Pittsburg. Pa., and his agents in Kansas City were Lewis C. lrviue, his attorney, and W. A. Mellon, his nephew. m m Preparing for a Long Strike. Marlboro, Mass., Jan. 1. A meeting of the executive committee of the United Hoot and Shoe-makers' National Union was :ield here to-day.

The ineetintr also decided upon a financial plan that will bring sufficient aid to the strikers to enable them to hold out nntil next summer if needed.

RECEPTIONS AT THE CAPITAL

Brilliant and Successful New Year's Levee at tbe Executive Mansion. Pretty Decorations, Unique Floral Designs and the Gorgeous Uniforms of the Diplomates f Make an Attractive Spectacle. How Mrs. Harrison and Other Members of tbeKeceiving Party Were Attired. Mrs. Miller's Reception Also a Pleasant Affair Idaho's Second Senator Arrives and Discusses Mr. Dubois! Election. TIIE WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION. An Unusually Successful New Year's Dresses Worn by the Receiving Party. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 1. President and Mrs. Harrison received all the diplomatic. official and social world of the capital at their New Year levee. The occasion was more than ordinarily brilliant, celebrating as it did the completion of the White House improvements and the christening of the Blue Parlor. In each of all of these details Mrs. Harrison has been so closely interested that she enjoyed the admiration that everybody else so freely expressed in the results. Of course, there was a dainty floral decora tion in all the parlors, but in the Blue Room, whose graceful proportions and rich ornamentation needed nothing to accent them, Mrs. Harrison had only a few flowers placed. The thrill of excitement caused by the report of the tire at Secretary Blaine's house and the discovery later that it was in Mr. Letter's home was the one unlooked-for incident of the day. A heavy fog prevailed all day, but it did not seem to detract anything from this reception or at any of the other omoiai nouses. Many a glance of sympathy followed the deDarture of Secretary Tracy from the brilliant scene at the White House just after he had escorted Mrs. McKee to the Blue Parlor and had paid his respects to the President and Vice-president and their wives, lie wore black gloves and a black tie. All looked forward to tho grand entree of the diplomatic corps, led by the suave dean. Baron Fava. Secretary Blaine performed the agreeable duty of presenting the foreigners to the President, being assisted by M. Sevellon Brown. As they passed by the receiving party in stately but swift procession, one scarcely took in the details of tbe elaborate court dresses or the flashing military uniforms. The corps turned out in larger numbers than ever heretofore, nearly all of the thirty-three countries with which we have diplomatic relations. Many of the gentlemen were accompanied by their wives and daughters, and this so augmented the throng that the capacity of the Red Parlor, where they had gathered before being presented to the President, was scarcely sufficient. In all the gayly-appareled throng, Mr. Ye Cha Yun, the Corean charge d'affaires, and his pretty little wife, looked very demure. The little madame had on a dark gown of blue silk and held in her tiny kid-gloved hands, a small card-case with an em broideredjocket handkerchief folded inside. ;ke supreme ccrt justices. After the corps came the Supreme Court, headed by the Chief-justice, who had with him Mrs. Fuller and a number of young ladies. Justice and Mrs. Blatohford, Justice Field, who had his nieces. Miss Held and Miss Condit Smith, Justice. Mrs. and Miss Harlan, Justice Lamar, Justice Brewer, Justice and Mrs.' Gray, Justice Bradley, exJustice Strong and his daughters. In the lino with tho members of the international American conference were the international .railway conference, tbe judges of the Conrt of Claims, and of the District courts,-the commissioners of the District, ex-ministers of tho United States and exmembers of the Cabinet. There were but few ladies. After the first half hour the Vice-president and Mrs. Morton withdrew from the reception. Miss Rachel Sherman accomEanying them, and went bacn to their own ome to commence their reception. Their withdrawal was also the signal for the departure of Secretary Blaine and his daughters, who had also a peremptory engagement to meet. The Cabinet ladies all felt equal freedom in leaving the line early and before the reception was an hour in progress, the President and Mrs. Harrison alone remained to receive the constantly increasing throng. Many of the ladies who formed part of the pageant be hind the line, aleo forsook their places early, so that when the public was admitted it did not have what has always added such an attractive feature to these receptions the presence of a large number of ladies. Of the number who did stay with Mrs. Russell Harrison, Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Dimmick, were Mrs. Howard White, Miss Ida Thompson. Mrs. John W. Foster, Mrs. Ramsey and Mrs. Charles Alexander. General Schofield headed the long line of officers of the army, and Commodores Ram say and Farquhar the officers of the navy. The ladies invited to receive with Mrs. Harrison represented the families of Senators and members of tbe army and navy circles and a number of her own as well as Mrs. McKee's personal friends. Of tho fifty invited there were present the wives of Senators Blackburn, Aldrich, Blair, Cullom, Gray and Jones of Arkansas; the wives of Representatives Andrew, Coggswell. Dalzell, Grosvenor, Mrs. Lieutenant Andrews, Mrs. W. C. P. Breckinridge, Mrs. and the Misses Ernest, Miss Clark of Boston, Mrs. Soley, Mrs. Ramsey. Mrs. J. Mills Browne, Mrs. and the Misses Ransdell, Mrs. Halford, Mrs. William Haywood, Mrs. William L. Harris, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. F. Gardner, Mrs. Michener. Mrs. John Hay, Airs, and Miss Warder, Mrs. Catlin, with tbe young ladies of tho Cabinet, their guests and those already mentioned. toilettes of the ladies. Tho toilettes of tho receiving party, as well as of many of the ladies calling, were very elegant. A fair share of them woro imported gowns, which were donned for tbe first time at what is considered the leading dress parade of the season. Mrs. Harrison's Baltimore gown gave herself and her friends unlimited satisfaction, and it was generally regarded as the most becoming that she has ever worn. It was of paleblue satin, brocaded in wavy Bnes of yellow. The front drapery was of jeweled net, and where the trail fell back from the sides there were blue ostrich tips, cauebt with sprays of gold wheat. She wore some tine diamond ornaments. She carried a bouquet of long-stemmed pink roses and a large point-lace fan. Her gloves were of palest tan. She was unusually animated, and took the opportunity of asking all her intimate friends their opinions of the White House, with its new decorations and electric lighting. Her housewifely care, which never deserts her, seemed to exert itself in a marked degree to-day, and while others were admiring the new lights she was planning the changes which she thinks necessary for their improvement. Mrs. Morton's gown was of white brocaded satin, flounced with old Venetian point. Her waist bad elbow sleeves and tbe square opening at the neck was tilled in with lace. Sbe wore a deep necklace of pearls. She also carried a large bouquet of pink roses. Mrs. Windom wore a gray-striped silk with tine lace. Mrs. Miller wore a French gown of dovegray crepe with black ostrich feathers bordering. Mrs. Proctor was in black velvet, a prin

cess gown with fine old lace at the Vshaped opening at the throat. Mrs. Rusk wore an elaborate costume of blue brocade and point. Mrs. Noble was dressed in white silk, brocaded in roses. Mrs. McKee's gown of creponne fitted her like a charm. The straight drapery had slashes, where a pleat of embroidered crepe showed around the hem. In the crepe frills around the neck she had several handsome diamond ornaments. Mrs. Rnssell Harrison's dress was also pink, striped silk, made with a long train and a pointed waist She wore a diamond necklace of large solitaires with a diamond rose pendant, and another large diamond star glistened in her corsage. Mrs. Dimmick's gown was black sicillcime, the square opening in the waist being tipped with ostrich feathers. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Boyd, of Philadelphia, are guests of the White House. The latter is a close personal friend of Mrs. McKee, the two ladies having been school-mates together at 'Indianapolis, They will remain until after the Fuller-Wallace wedding. Mrs. Boyd wore a trained gown of whito brocaded silk, trimmed richly in rose point. In the lace on her bodice were many line diamonds. Miss Love, of Muncie, was among tho callers at tho White House. J. B. Turner, the new messenger at the executive mansion, and a product of Muncie, did himself proud announcing the thousands of callers. He proved himself a veteran in the work. Mr. IL S. McKee made rather an nnusnal entrance to a scene of such ceremony. He left Indianapolis yesterday afternoon, and arrived at the White House just in time to see his wife descending the grand staircase on the arnr'of Secretary Tracy. Not having broken his fast since he left his home, he was remarkably choerfnl under the circumstances, and received many warm welcomes. ' Mrs. Miller's Reception. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 1. A charming company of ladies surrounded Mrs. Miller at the home of the Attorney-general, and for three hours of her reception they were all kept so busy that neither the interest nor the pleasure of the event had time to lag. Mrs. Miller returned shortly after 12 to her home, and, after joining her receiving party at a hastily-snatched refreshment, was again at her post Miss Miller was as usual a most effective assistant. She was attired in pink brocaded satin with tulle. They bad assisting them their guests, Mrs. Hale, of Peru, and Miss Knox, of New York; Mrs. Taft, the wife of tbe . Solicitorgeneral; Miss Ransdell, daughter of Marshall Ransdell, and her guests, the Misses Wallick and Peck, of Indianapolis; Miss Keyser, Miss Carrie Parker and Miss Cadwallader, of Cincinnati, who is visiting Mrs. Butterworth Howe. In the pretty dining-room the young ladies did the honors. There was an abundance of seasonable delicacies and plenty of hot or cold drinks, but no stimulants were oflered. Mrs. Miller wore French gray crepon, with a stylish and becoming garniture of black ostrich feathers. A PRETTY SCENE.

Floral Devices and Gorgeous Uniforms Add to the Attractiveness of the White House, Washinton, Jan. L The year 1891 opened wet, disagreeable and gloomy, and the streets were so filled with slush from the melting snow that pedestrianism was difficult and decidedly unpleasant. New Y'ear's day, however, was generally observed, notwithstanding the weather. The President's reception was, of course, the social feature of the day. The historic White House, which has been tbe scene of so many brill iant spectacles, never looked prettier than it did to-day. Special pains were taken - with the decorations, and everything was done to make the mansion as attractive as possible. The government conservatories snd hot-houses were taxed to their utmost capacity for flowers and plants, and the 6upply being inadequate t J meet tho President's desire, recourse was had to private dealers. In fact, it was found necessary to go to New YorK and Philadelphia for some of tho flowers used in the devices. These were all of a patriotic character, being facsimiles of the flag of the Union and the national coat of arms, both of which were prominently displayed in different parts of the house. The reception began at 11 o'clock, the receiving party taking their places in the Blue Parlor at that hour to the familiar strains of "Hail to the Chief," played by ihe full Marine Band, which was stationed in the vestibule just inside the main entrance. Vice-president Morton and Mrs. Morton and all the members of the Cabinet with ladies of their familes, with the exception of Mrs. Biaine, had previously joined the President and Mrs. Harrison and followed them down stairs to the reception. Here all the gentlemen, with the exception of the President, retired to the rear of the Blue Parlor, where a large number of invited guests had already gathered. The receiving party then formed a line between the entrance and exit doors. The members of tbe diplomatic corps wero first received. They were nearly all present. All wore full court costume, which in many cases, notably the Russian, German, Austrian, French and Chinese ministers, was of the most gorgeous description. They were presented by Secretary Blaine and Aristant Secretary Wharton, and made a brilliant spectacle with their glittering jewels, gold braids and clanking swords. Baron Fava, of Italy, who is dean of the corps by . virtue of seniority of service, led the procession, and was followed by Senor Romero, of Mexico. Nearly all the diplomates were accompanied by ladies. The other official receptions were largely attended, most of the people who visited the White House calling on the Vice-president and the members of the Cabinet, all tbe latter, except Secretary Tracy, keeping open house. Secretary Blaine gave the diplomatic corps a breakfast immediately- after tho reception of the corps at the White House, and afterwards received the public. Miss Blaine assisted him. IDAHO'S SENATORS. What McConnell and Shoup Say About tho Legislature Electing Three Men. Special to tns Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. L Senator-elect L. J. McConnell, of Moscow, Ida., has arrived. He is a man of quiet yet affable manners, with rather a solemn face and a full beard, containing a good many white hairs. He looks fifty years old, but he is a hustling business man, with a taste for politics, and eight years ago was president of the Oregon Seuate. While he was telling some friends to-day that the pan-handle of Idaho was the finest grain country in the world his colleague, Senator Shoup, came in and the conversation took a different turn. "Whatever objections may 'be made to the election of three Senators at once," said Mr. McConnell, "no point can be made against Governor Shoup or myself as the regularly elected Senators from Idaho. If the Senate should not see tit to recognize Mr. Dubois's election at present it will not hurt him any, since the Legislature can immediately proceed to re-elect him to fill the place that Governor KhouD or 1 will vacate on the 4th of next March. There could be no objection to that, I think." , "I'm afraid McConnell has the age on me," put in Governor Shoup. "You see, as his name comes first when we draw for terms, he will have the first draw; that means, I'll have to take the paper that's left. Under such conditions. 1 feel pretty sure that I'll get left by getting the blank. That will wind up my senatorial career in a little over two months." The Idaho Senators have all made good impressions here. They are able men and sterling Republicans. Victim of Christian Science.' Sioux Falls, S D., Jan. 1 Justin A. Pettigrew, a brother of United States Senator Pettigrew, died hero last night. Senaator Pettigrew is much Incensed at the Cristian Scientists who attended the sick man.

WILD RUMOR FROM SALT LAKE

Sensational Keport that Fivo Troops of Cavalry Yere3Iassacredby Indians. The Story Contradicted from Tine Ridgelisht Companies of Soldiers, with Four GatUttgtians, on Their Way to the Front Funeral of Members of the Seventh Cavalry Who Fell at Wounded Knee. General Brooke Relieved by General Miles, the FormerTaking the Field-Nebraska State ililitia Ordered to Ch-dron. REPORTED MASSACRE. Fire Troops or Cavalry Said to Bars Been Butchered by Indians. Salt Lake. U. T., Jan. 1. Eight companies of troops JS0 men left this morning for the front, via the Union Pacific, Cheyenne &, Northern and Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroads to Rushville. They took four Gatling cannon and left in the best spirits. Eighteen cars were required to accommodate the troops. Much excitement prevailed here to-day over the reported massacre of five troops of the Ninth Cavalry by the Indians, and the suicide of Maj. G. V. Henry, their commander, rather than be captured. Colonel Blunt, commanding the Sixteenth Infantry, remains here. He "fired" a Tribunereporter out of his office, last midnight, when the latter came to ask him for information. BURIAL OP THE DEAD. Bodies or tho Soldiers Wbo Fell Victims to Indian Treachery Laid ot Rest. Omaha, NeL, Jan. 1. A special to the Bee from Pine Ridge agency says: General Miles has assumed command of tho forces here, relieving General Brooke, trho started this morning into the field with the Second Infantry, going by way of Oelrichs to ft point 6ome fifteen miles north of here. Yesterday, umid as wild, blinding and bitter a wintry storm as ever swept this bleak and barren country, wero laid away to their last rest thirty of the brave boys who " fell with face to tho foe in the bloody encounter at Wounded vJCnee. It was 2 o'clock when the funeral cortege, with General Forsyth and Major Whiteside at the head, and composed of fifteen wagons bearing the rudelycoffined dead, followed by an escort of Companies A, K, B, I, D and E. of the noblo but unfortunate Seventh Cavalry, together with an assisting sauad from the Second Cavalry, wound away from the camp up to the little cemetery situated at the crest of the hill, northwest of the agency. The surviving members of the fated companies looked louesomo enough with their fearfully-thinned ranks. Tho vacancy so striking In contrast with the rest of the column caused the tears to start in the eyes of many a comrade for the comrades lost. The graves were in rows of six, close together in the southwest corner of the cemetery, and overlooking! the camp. After the reading of the burial service by Rev.Mr. Cook, the Episcopal clergyman, aided by his assistant, the bodies were lowered, into the grave. Owing to the intensely critical condition of the surroundings, with hordes of the enemy flocking about the agency threatening an attack, tne usual salute of guns was omitted, while soft notes from the bugle and the wail of the storm whispered the last loving good-bye. Tho remains of Captain Wallace will be sent to Fort Riley, Kan., for interment Those of Captain Mills, who was found dead in his tent from rheumatism of the heart, from which he had been a sufferer for a ion? time, were sent to Omaha. One hundred and thirty-live Indians of Two Strike's band came in to-day and joined American Herder's camp. They reported to Captain Ernest and he issued them rations. Reports sent out from Lincoln that Gen. Brooke has been relieved by General Miles are untrue. General Brooke will remain in command. Reports of a massacre rumored at Denver and Salt Lake aro also untrue. The whole of the Ninth Cavalry is in General Brooke's column. RUMOR ABOUT GENERAL BROOKE. Unconfirmed Report that He list Beea R' lleved or His Command. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. L A dispatch from Pine Ridge says: The Second Infantry has,, received orders to pack their effects and be ready to move. It is rumored that General Brooke has been relieved of his command and ordered home. General Miles will take command in person and conduct all operations in the future. Discredited by Secretary Proctor. Washington, Jan. 1. Secretary of War Proctor was interviewed to-night regarding tho rumor from the Indian agency at Pine Ridge, S. D., that General Brooke had been relieved. Secretary Proctor said that he knew nothing whatever about the matter, and did cot credit the report. General Schofield, tho head of the army, could not be seen personally during the evening, but from what could be learned through other sources there appeared little reason for believing the report to have any substantial foundation. Lieutenant Mann May Recover. Chicago, Jan. L W. D. Mann, of this city, yesterday received a telegram from Surgeon Hartseff, at Pine Ridge, stating that his brother. Lieutenant Mann, of tho Seventh Cavalry, who was wounded in tho battle at Wounded Knee creek, was doing nicely, and, although he had received tho contents of a gun in his right 6ide, the chances for his recovery were favorable. Lieutenant Mann was born in Syracuse, Ind., May 15, 1E54. He was appointed a cadet at large from Goshen, Ind., in 1672. He graduated from the Military Academy in 1SS7, was appointed a second lieutenant and assigned to duty in the Seventh Cavalrr.
