help the Indians who fled from the agency on the night of the battle of Wounded Kuee to get away from the hostile. The authorities look upon the request with distrust, and reserve their decision. Father Stephanie, the Jesuit missionary, has left for the Fast. Although he remained here hut forty-eight hours or so, he is authoritatively said to have drawn upon some of the best sources of information among the bostiles. As be was leaving he said to roe: 'I am convinced there will be more bloodshed, 'and that the greatest tight is yet to come." Regarding the condition of Father Crafts, who was stabbed in the battle of Wounded Knee. Father Stephanie . said: "We can now tell nothing at all about bow he is coming ont of it. I would give very litt.e for his life as matters now stand with him." 1 he party sent to Wounded Knee to bury the dead Indians returned late last night. They found and buried eighty-four bucks and sixty-three squaws and children. It was also found that rive had been buried by the Indians. In addition to this total of 152 we have heard now and then of others who have been carried aw&y by hostile scouts, etc., sufficient to swell the number of dead Indians, as a result of the battle of Wounded Knee, to fully two hundred, with several others yet to die in the improvised hospital here. A little Indian baby girl about three months old. being one of the survivors of the battle of Wounded Knee, who lav for three days beside the dead body of its mother, has ben adopted by Mrs. Allison Mailor, a wealthy lady of New York city. Major John Burke, manager of Buttalo Hill's "Wild West" combination, stood as god-father to the child and had it christened Maffgie C. Mailor, the first name and initial being those of the child's new-found' benefactress. Another dispatch from Pine Ridge says: Everything now points to a battle between the bostiles and the friendly Indians, who desire to leave the hostile camp and come to the agency. Ked Cloud has signitied his desire , to return to the agency, but be is nearly blind, and no one will volunteer to lead him in, for the Brules threaten death to the first person that attempts to desert the hostile band. The older Indians want to come in. but the young bucks insist on righting. The cordon of troops id drawing tighter around the bostiles. The bostiles are on guard night and day. Fires are being burned at night to prevent any one from escaping from their camps. General Miles has sent a peace commission to the bostiles. If they still refuse to come in their camp will be bombarded. Machine and shell gnns are bfring placed on all sides of the camp for this purpose. General Miles is fast becoming impatient, and if the Indians do not obey the order to come in ho will attack them. , Crazy as His: Foot's Men. CniCAGO, Jan. 6. A special to the Inter

Ocean from Tine Ridge says: Jack Red Cloud was still at the agency to-day. He applied at the postoffic for his father's mail and all the late papers. He did sot receive them. The earth-works around the agency are growing stead ily in size and strength. General Miles will, in all probability. - draw in around half of , the hostile, but there are three hundred to four hundred who are as crazy as Big Foot's men, and nothing can be done with them but to shoot them. The court of inquiry to investigate the J A. . m , . . M. . . 1 - tie of Wounded Kness is composed of Major Whiteside, General Carr and Captain Baldwin. Carr is expected to.night, and the court will prob ably meet to-morrow. I be inquiries are: First, were the troops properly placed; second, were they properly handled: third, was there unnecessary slaughter of Indians. The only differ ence of opinion heard expressed so far is on the first count; all agree on the second and third, that no one could have done better than Forsythe. Stiles Expects a Surrender of Hostile. "Washington, Jan. 6. General Schofield has received the following telegram from General Miles, dated Fine Ridge, S. D.: "In answer to a communication that I sent five men could come in and learn what I expected them to do, the following Indians came in: Big Road, He Dog, Little Hawk, Jack Red Cloud and High Hawk. The first . three surrendered to me on the Yellowstone m 1S77. The prospects are at present favor able that the whole camp may surrender, ' but I do not wish to anticipate. There are no changes in the condition of the troops." The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has receiveu tiieiouowingieiegrarn, aaiea 1 ine Kiage: "Chief herder Hugh has returned to the agency witn three hundred cattle. . "We have no information as to whether there are any more scattered over the range. Hugh says he thinks the bostiles burned the ranch after he left." It is stated at the Indian Bnreau that these three hun dred head are all that have been recovered from the original herd of about 3,500 bead driven oil by the bostiles. imUSII WITH THE HOSTILES. One Soldier Alleged to Have Been Injured and Several Indians Killed and Wounded. , St. Louis, Jan. 6. A special from the camp near Wounded Knee creek. South Dakota, gives the particulars of another engagement which took place at that point yesterday morning. A detachment of thirty men had been sent out from the camp to meet a wagon train with supplies for the camp, and when ten miles out the wagons were found besieged by a band of one hundred Indians. On seeing the troops approaching the red-skins scattered in all directions, but immediately returned to the attack on finding the small number of men in the detachment. A courier was sent back to camp for reinforcement, but in the meantime an incessant tire was. kept up on both sides, resulting in the wounding of one soldier and the killing and wound ing of several Indians, the exact number of which could not be ascertained, as the reds carried away their dving and wound ed. About three hours after the courier's departure troops were seen coming at full gallop to the rescue. As the troops rode up the Indians scattered in all directions, and Troop F pursued them, but abandoned the chase on account of darkness. The wagon train was escorted to camp in safety. FORSYTIIE'8 SUSPENSION. Correspondence Between Miles and Scho field The President's Instructions. Washington, Jan. 6. The following cor respondence in regard to the Forsythe case was made publio to-day: Under date of Deo. 20 General Schofield telegraphed Uen. Miles expressing belief that he would soon be master of the situation, and asking that his thanks bo given to the "brave Seventh Cavalry for their splendid conduct," Un der date of Jan. 1 General Miles telegraphed General Schofield as follows: Yonr telegram of congratulation to the Seventh Cavalry Is received, but as the action of the colonel commanding -will be a matter of serious consideration, and will undoubtedly be the sub ject of investigation, I thought it proper to advise you. In view of the above facts, do you wish your telegram transmitted as it was sentl 1 1 is stated that the disposition of the 100 soldiers and four pieces of artillery was fatally defective; that a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded by the fire from their own range, and that a very large number of women and children were Killed In addition to the men. General Schofield telegraphed in reply. under date oi Jan. : In view of the aspec t of the case presented In your telegram of yesterday it will be bettor not to deliver my message to the Seventh Cavalry until I have seen your report after the investiga tion you propose, 'ineretote, you win please wimnom it unm runner advised by me. He also telegraphed General Miles on the same night as follows: Your dispatch to me of yesterday and that of The aujuiani-generai have been shown to the President, and in rcriv the becretary of War di rects me to say: The President has heard. with great regret, of the failure of your efforts to secure the settlement of theHoux difficulties without bloodshed He suggest that possibly a watchful observance of the hostile bands that would prevent their breakJug into the settlement and give the Indians time to recover troiu their irisent excitement w ould bo well. Hut he leaves all this to your better information and discretion, and would not have you omit anything that is necesaary to protect the settlements. He hoi- that the renort of the killing of women dbd children lu the affair at Wounded Kuee is unfounded, and directs that you t-aue an immediate Inquiry to be made and report the result to the department.

reionftiblo omrer aud so use toe trooi engage! there so as to avoid its repetition. - I wish to add to the President s suggestions the hope which I still entertain, in spite of the unfortunate accidents wolcn nave occurred, mac jou may te able, by convincing the Indians that the purposes of the arm r are not hostile to them, but, on the contrary, friendly and dictated by a deaire to secure to them future pcaoe and prosperity, to obtain their surrender without further conflict.. General Miles telegraphed General Scho field, under date of Jan. 3, as follows: The directions of the President and yourself is Just the action I had anticipated and taken. Nearly all of the Sixth and Moth Cavalry and becond and Seventeenth Infantry, with one hun dred Indian scouts, are practically on three tides of them, along Heaver, w hue uiver ana Porcupine creek, with General Brooke in command. This may hold them In check. I am In clofe communication with them, and have informed them the only safe road Is toward the agency, and about hair of them are anxious to come In. The others are making desperate effort to keep all at war. 1 consider it very important that the nve oincers that I recommended be placed in chargo or the live agencies. Please inform me if this is approved or disapproved. I have a very great amount of information concerning the conspiracy. It involves all the tribes in the Northwest and the wild tribes in the Indian Territory. Sitting Bull would have been the head, and the movement was to be made In the spring. They expected to strike west to where the ghost delusion originated Nevada. General Schofield received a telegram from General Miles at Pine Ridge, dated Jan. 5 as follows: In accordance with yonr telegram and Presi dent's order, I have detailed a board of ollicers consisting of Colonel Carr, bixth Cavalry; Major Kent, rourth Infantry, and Captain Baldwin, Fifth Infantry, to investigate the affair at wounded Knee, is this in conrormity witn rue President's directions, and does he direct that It constitute a court of inquiry with power to take testimony under oath! Colonel Forsyth'e's command consisted of twenty-six officers and 453 men. Eighty-two Indians and sixty women and children were bried on or near the ground. 1 have relieved Colonel Forsythe from command. General Schofield telegraphed General Miles to-day as follows: In reply to yonr telegTam of yesterday X am directed by the Secretary of War to inform you that it was not the intention of the President to appoint a court of inquiry, nor to order at this time. In the midst of the campaign, any further inquiry than you could yourself make without the necessity of a court, the purpose being simply to determine whether any officer had been to far derelict in duty as to make it necessary to re lieve him from command, such result to follow upon the inquiry which you were expected to cause to be made. You were expected yourself first to inquire into the facts, and in the event of Its being disclosed that there had been unsoldlerly conduct to relieve the responsible officers. The directions of the President were suggested by your telegram or te 1st mat. to me. Opposed by Secretary Noble. Washington; Jan. 6. The Cabinet meet ing to-day considered the Indian question, especially with reference to General M ilea's proposition to relieve Indian agents of charge of the agencies near the scene of the troubles and replace them with officers of the army. Secretary Noble is known to be earnestly opposed to snch a plan, and its accomplishment, therefore, is a matter of doubt. Persons verv close to him assert that the Secretary will vigorously oppose the adop tion of General Miles's suggestions upon the ground that it inevitably would result in undoing all. or nearly all. of the good that has been done in recent years toward the material advancement of the Indian tribes in the Northwest. The Secretary will stoutly maintain this position. r TURTLE 3IOUNTAIN INDIANS. They Are 3,500 Strong, and Are Reported to lie Ready to Inaugurate a Massacre. Fort Totten, N. D., Jan. 6. Rumors are rife here that the 3,500 Indians on Turtle Mountain reservation are liable at any moment to inaugurate a massacre of set tlers living along the North Dakota border. This band of red men, among whom there is a large number of halfbreeds, have been ugly for a long tim,e. and they have several times given trouble. The troops at this fort are ready to do anything in their power to quell an uprising. but their power to do so is limited, owing to the fact that the garrison is made up of only one company less than one hundred men. Company B, Fifteenth Infantry, is stationed at Fort Pembina, and will be called here in case of an outbreak. The immediate cause of the present trouble, outside of the general nnnst among the Indians in all parts of the Northwest, is the failure of the United States commission to remove the Indians of the Turtle Mountain reservation to White Earth, Minn., to which point they asked to be sent. Commissioners Hovne and Mahone were sent here by President Harrison early in December, but they remained only one day. They distributed several hundred dollars' worth of presents, but refused to recommend the desired removal. Settlers are in a disturbed state of mind over the alarming situation, and have sent a protest to Washington against leaving this band here to menace the people. fflA dispatch from Devil's Lake says that no apprehension whatever exists there of the Indians at Fort Totten breaking out. Numbers of them are in Devil a Lake city daily selling hay and wood. They are in poor circumstances and are now not looking for Winchesters or ammunition. What they want is pork and flour. They are getting less than half their usual rations, and the next issue, Feb. 1, will exhaust the supplies, after which they will be without food or clothing until a new appropriation is made. THE FAYERWEATHER WILL CASE. One of the Executors Charged with Unduly Influencing the Millionaire on His Death-Bed. New York. Jan. 6. The Fay er weather will case was up in the Surrogate's Court to-day, the executors contending that Mrs. Fayerweather shoulg state definitely wherein the alleged undue influence upon the now dead millionaire had been exerted. At the close of the argument the surrogate held the allegation was sufficient, but refused to put the executors on their proofs to show lack of fraud. He declared that Mrs. Fayerweather must support ber allegations of undue influence and fraud. According to the Evening Sun the Rev. Dr. Lloyd, pastor of the Central Congregational Church, signed an affidavit, yesterday, which casts a serious reflection upon those who attended the millionaire, Daniel 13. Fayerweather, in his last hours. The pastor says be was summoned to Mr. Fayerweather's house on the afternoon on which the millionaire died. He went in and was told to wait. Word camo from the sick room that it would not be well to have the pastor come in. He learned that the only person in the sick room was Mr. Vaughn, a business acquaintance of Fayerweather, who was indebted to the dying man iu the sum of $500,000. Dr. Lloyd stated at the bouse from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until b, when word came to him that Mr. Fayerweather was jdead. To say be was surprised does not' express it. This was on Aug. 15. Dnring this interval, it is said by Dr. Lloyd, who was so informed by the physician, 'the millionaire, who was partially unconscious, was induced to sign that codicil to his will, which was drawn up by Thomas B. Ritch, a lawyer of the firm of Arnonx. Ritch Sc Wood iord. and which left to Mr. Ritch, Mr. Vaughn and Mr. Buckley an estate which was worth about $3,000,000. There were conditions in the codicil, but it was understood. Dr. Lloyd stated, that these men would distribute the amount among certain colleges, as indicated in the original document, and the rest was to go to themselves. Dr. Lloyd has sworn to this. He says the signature is very unlike that of the millionaire, although he does not doubt his band held the pen. Frederick R, Coudert, counsel for Mrs. Fayerweather, promises some shocking and sensational revelations when the case is beard. It is believed the atlidavit is in possession of Mr. Coudert. Garfield's Log School-House Purchased. Zanksville. O., Jan. 6. Frederick Hartla, agent for Cincinnati parties, has purchased the old log school-house where exPresident Gartield taught iu 1851. The building is wanted for exhibition at the world's fair. The Rev. C. II. Spurgeon, who is slowly recovering his health in France, begins to feel that the devil's vacation is about over.

RIOTING NEAR GLASGOW. Non-Unlonlsts Assaulted by Strikers Con flict Between the Latter and the Police. ' Glasgow, Jan. 6. The disturbances caused by the evictions of the railroad strikers from the quarters provided for them by the railroad companies have not yet ceased, in spite of the presence on the scene of the evictions of large forces of police backed up by the troops. Serious rioting was resumed to-day at Coates bridge, about nine miles from here, on the Monkland canal, the chief center of iron manufacture in Scotland. The police and troops, who have been almost continuously on duty for fortv-eight hours, passed a wearisome night, as the strikers, now driven to extreme desperation, are making the wildest threats. However, the strikers practically abstained from violence through the night, but thia morning they mustered at an early hour about the dormitory at Coates bridge, occupied by the non-union men who have been employed in place of the strikers. After pelting the building with stones the rioters made a rush forward and stormed it in the most approved fashion. The police on duty at that spot made a gallant defense, using their batous freely and charging the strikers in spite of showers of stones hurled at them on all Hides. During the conflict a number of the police, and a still greater number of the strikers, were more or less seriously injured. The rioters were finally repulsed, iust as strong reinforcements of police and troops were being sent to the scene of tne collision. After the first excitement of the collision between the police and the rioters had sub sided the police succeeded in placingunder lock and key six prisoners captured during the fray, 'lhe police could have arrested mauy more of the rioters had they felt so inclined, but they contented themselves with making prisoners of six ox tne ringleaders, or most violent members of the mob of strikers.

THE BEIIRING SEA DISPUTE. . now the Correspondence Made Publio Mon day Is Viewed in England.' London, Jan. 6. The Press Association of this city announces that Lord Salisbury is engaged iu the consideration of the for ty-page dispatch received from Mr. Blaine Dec. SO, the latest dispatch received from Washington. It does not contain a definite acceptance of Lord Salisbury's proposals for arbitration on the main question that of the right of the British sealers to catch seals in liehring sea. The Press Association says that Mr. Blaine discusses only the subsidiary point arbitration on the timeof closing the sealing and ignores Panncefote's note of June last, in which the latter says that her Majesty's government must hold the government of the United. States responsible for the consequences arising from acts of interference with Lntt-i Vessels contrary to the principles of international law. The Press Association also states that no preparations have been made to augment the British fleet in the north Pacilic as such a step might be regarded as a menace. . ; 6ir Charles Tupts?r, the Canadian Com missioner, in an interview yesterday, said he did not believe the United States was preparing her naval fleet to attack foreign vessels, lie thought the American government's statement on the Behring sea controversy might have been circulated for election purposes. The St. James Gazete to-day. says that it accepts the oilicial denial in regard to the liehnng sea troubles, adding, however; "But why is the United States navy being massed in the Pacific unless it is to make the Bebring a mare clausem? Officers of the American navy do not act npon rumors printed in American newspapers. 7 . The Pall Mall Gazette says: "Mr. Blaine obviously means to try more bounce, for the sake of uakine poliMcal capital. ' We are convinced, however, that the Amer icans will not support Mr. Blaine. It is imperative to arbitrate the matters in dispute." The Globe says that it attributes the friction to Mr. Blame's "bragging spreadeagleism." and it is of the opinion that, "in view of a possible, though unlikely Amer ican display of force in Behring sea.' Great Druam ougnt msianuy 10 sirengmen ner Pacific squadrons.7' lhe Globe also advo cates the settlement of all the matters )n dispute by means of arbitration. Sir Edward Clarke, Solicitor-general, sneakinirat Plymouth, to-msht. said, with reference to the Behring sea dispute, that L,ord balisbury was only asserting a doctrine laid down by the United States gov ernment years ago, namely, that no nation could claim sovereignty over the open sea. Hostilities between England and the United States, said Sir Edward, would shock the conscience of the world, and even the con templation of such hostilities would be an outrage upon civilization aud humanity. "It is to be hoped," he said, "that Lord Salisbury's oiler will be accepted; but if an .Lnslish vessel is seized on the high seas,' and violence is used toward isritisn sub jects, one fatal half hour would put it be yond the power of tne two countries to settle the dithculty by arbitration."

NOYEL PHASE OF A FAILURE How Savages of the Congo Country Are Interested in Kean's Wrecked Bank. Bishop Taylor's Mission Funds Prolallj Lost Keim & Co. of Philadelphia Temporarily Embarrassed Other Troubles. CniCAGO, Jan. 6. The developments thus far in petitions for relief by depositors in the suspended bank of S. A. Kean &. Co. had shown that widespread and diversified interests were involved, but it remained for Mr. Ross Taylor, of Evanston, in a petition tiled in the county court this morning, to show that the savages of the far-off Congo have both a temporal and eternal interest in the collapse. It comes about in this way: Missionary BishopWilliam Taylor, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has established a large number of missions in the Congo country. Last year bo returned to the United States and spent some months in raising money lor the support 01 tnese missions. He made broker Kean treasurer of the fund, which amounted to about $12,000. and Kean deposited it in hia bank. In November 'he drew a draft on London for $3,000 of this amount and left for the scene of of bis labors. The remaining $9,000 was still in the bank when it failed. and perhaps the $3,000 also, as it is not known whether the draft was cashed before the failure. Mr. Taylor, of Evan -ton. sets forth in his petition that the money was a trust fund and should bo made whole out of the assets: that, relying on this fund.

Mo., and in 1882 made a special deposit of $12,000 in government bonds in what was then the bank of Preston, Kean & Co., since then reorganized as S. A. Kean & Co. In 1883 Frederick Kerr, cashier of the bank, ab sconded with $30,000 worth of the assets of the bank, together with Mr. Prather's bonds. Prather sued for the value of his bonds, and the case was fought to the United States Supreme Court, which yes terday decided that the bank is liable for the amount of the deposit, which, with interest, amounts to about $20,000. A meeting of Mr. Kean's friends and the attornevs for depositors was held this aft ernoon. It was with closed doors, but, after the adjournment till to-morrow, as signee Jacobs said that there was no doubt but that a satisfactory settlement would be reached. It is understood that an offer of 50 cents on the dollar was made, and that the depositors were willing to aocept that amount, but that the parties in inter est were unable to agree upon the terms of payment.

I1L. savs: The assignment of John C. Dueber and the Canton Watch Company last evening has created considerable excitement in watch factory circles. Aurora is interested from the fact that Charles Rood, chief owner of the Aurora watch factory, has been for a . m -v some nine a neavy creditor 01 Mr. uuener. His friends here claim that the amount due him is only 50,000, as Dueber has been pav ing oil the indebtedness at the rate of $5,000 a month. Henry Kane, superin tendent, and one of the owners of the Aurora factory, has also $5,000 worth of lJnebers naner locked nn in an Aurora bank.

Keim & Co., manufacturers of horse blankets, carriage robes, etc.; and wholesale dealers in saddlery-ware at Nos. 610 and 612 Market street, is temporarily embarrassed and has called a meeting of creditors to be held next Friday. News of the failure to meet its obligations was a great surprise to the trade and evoked ex pressions of sympathy on all sides. The business of the hrin was established in lSGGt It is generally believed that at Friday's meeting a satisfactory settlement will be reached and the hrm will continue its business without interruption. The high in tegrity of the hrm and the extensive nature of its business are believed to be be sufficient reasons for lenient action on the part of its creditors. At present the books aro beins overhauled and a statement of assets and liabilities will be in readiness for Friday's nieeuug. me emuarrassinent oi tne nouse is said to be principally due to its inabilitv to take care of a large amount of paper of the New York manufacturing firm of Welch & Lea. which was driven to the wall last month.
