Delegation of Hostiles Sent to Washington by General Mile His Action Approved. Washington; Jan. 15. General Scbofield received a telegram from General Miles, this morning, dated Pine Kidge, Jan. 14, as follows: In order to restore entire confidence anion tbee Indian, I have found It necessary to send a delegation to Washington to receive assurance of the bitrbeat authority of the food Intention of the government towards them. This will answer a double purpose namely, satisfy them, brldjre over the transition period between war and peace, dispel distrust and hostility, and restore confluence. It will also be a guaranty of peace while they re absent. I ask that my action may receive thi Approval of the department by telegraph, Eve rything Is progressing satisfactorily, ana I can see no reason why perfect peace may not be established. By direction of Secretary Proctor, Gen. 8choheld sent the following reply: The Secretary of War conferred with the President and the Secretary of the Interior In regard to your proposal to send a delegation of the fcloux chiefs to Washington, and they approve of your recommendation." The secretary of the Interior has sent an agent to conduct them. It is id desired that the delegation be as small a possible five or six, and not more than ten. If the delegation has already started telegraph at once the number, route and commanding officer. In reply to the telegram sent to General Miles to-day concerning the time of the departure of the Indian delegation for Washington General Miles says: There Is no necessity for haste. I do not Intend to send the delegation until this matter 1a entirely settled here and the Indians do as I have directed, which directions they are now complying with in every respect. This Indan war I now consider at sn end In the most satisfactory manner. A more complete submission to military power has never been made by any Indians. The report that any have escaped is not true. Mr. Dawes, from the committee on Indian atlairs. reported a resolution to the Senate to-day, which was referred to the committee on contingent expenses, directing an inquiry into the condition of Indians in North and South Dakota, Montana and elsewhere; the causes leading to the occupation of Indian reservations by troops; whether treaties with the Indians have been futilled: concerning arms and muitions of war in possession of the Indians; what steps are needed to disarm them, and wbether. in the care and control of Indians living in tribal relations, it is necessary to disarm them, or wbether the control of the Indians should be transferred to any other department of the government. A MISCIIIKF-3IAKER. Opinion of the Interior Department Concerning Father Craft, Indian Missionary. Special to the Indianapolis Journal, Washington. Jan. 15. It appears that Father Craft, the Catholic missionary who was stabbed and almost killed by an Indian in the Sioux battle at Wounded Knee, has been a source of considerable concern on the part of the Interior Department for many years. The Indians have in many instances disliked him becanse he was regarded by them as too good a friend of the soldiers, the settlers and the government, while the latter bave often accused him with inciting the Indians to acts of violence. At the time of the battle of Wonnded Knee (it is the impression of the Indian Oftice here) Father Craft was regarded by many of the Indians as a traitor to them. At any rate, he has been a peace-disturber, and a source of much annoyance to the Interior Department, and had he not been a representative of a popular religious organization would undonbtedlv have been kept off the reservation. This is the statement of officers in the Interior Department. Sec. retarv teller bad rather Craft put oH the Koseuud reservation in January, 1894, and ne am noi return to u nil mere was a change of administration. 'Appeal of Indian-Service Reformers. Philadelphia, Jan. 15. The executive committee of the Indians' Rights Associa tion met hero yesterday and formulated and adopted an appeal to the citizens of the United States in behalf of the Indian. The appeal is a lengthy one, and reviews the work that has been done among the Indians by various denominational bodies and the causes of the present uprising among toem. me appeal says: The first and most important requisite is a single, responsible, competent head for the management of Indian affairs, and charged with that duty only, which shall reiort directly to me i'reMiueni, ana wno snail do loosed to by the country at large for a successful Indian management. An Indian servioe, wholly free from the Interference of partisan politics, which shall continue its policy and carry out its educational work undisturbed by changing administrations, is necessary. While we do not advocate a complete transfer of Indian management to the WarDepartinent we believe that all the advantages which the advocates of that plan desire couKl be obtained by detailing many able and experienced army otlicers to serve as Indian agents, without the counter-balancing disadvantages which we believe would result from such radical change. War Correspondent Missing;. . DuLUTif, Minn., Jan. 15. A telegram has been received by the Dulnth Daily Tribune, dated Kushville, Neb., stating that Guy W. Butler, special correspondent, who left this city about ten days ago for the scene of the Indian trouble, started on a visit yesterday to the camp of the hostiles, and had not been beard from since.

It is alleged here that the Chilian government allows no dispatches to be sent out of the country. Nevertheless, it is avowed that the condition of Chili is that of armed peace; that the government is concentrating its military forces and that the Chilian Congress will demand the resignation of the President of the republic. The Chilian men-of-war have given notice that they will begin a blockade of the port of Iquiqui on Jan. 20. The importation of provisions into Iquiqui has already been stopped.

The protests of British workingmen's clubs, and the published statements of widespread misery and destitution in London, have caused the Odessa syndicate engaged in exporting Russian Jews to turn the tide toward the United Stales, and an extensive emigration of the persecuted race to North America may be expected. A Paris dispatch states that the young men candidates for tho priesthood who have been compelled to enter military service are exercising an excellent Iniluenre upon their fellow-soldiers, and that many of the clergy are convinced that the newsystem will work to the benefit of religion, instead of, as has been anticipated, to its injury.

Flttabnra Bankers Withdraw Their Contemplated Loan to the Wetlnghou Company. Pittsburg, Jan. 15. The announcement this morning that the advisory board appointed by bankers and business men of this city to look into the affairs of tbe Wedtiughoaso interests,, with a view of loaning the various concerns 'n need of assistance $500,000 to carry them through their present financial difficulties had returned the checks, notifying the subscribers that it would not be advisable to use any of the fund, occasioned no surprise, as tbe action had been expected for several days. The result waa there was no material decline in the stocks to-day. Financiers and stockholders now favor' the appointment of a receiver for the Westinghouse Electric Company, and an application to court looking to that end is exEected soon. It is stated that Mr. Westingouse is now in New York after funds, and, if successful in raising the necessary amount, he will be able to weather the storm. It is said. Mr. Weutinubouse telegraphed from New York to-day that matters there are rosy. It was generally believed that there were two reasons which led the advisorv committee to return the money to the subscribers, one being that the resoluton under which the committee is acting entailed npon them the arrangement for the extension of all tbe claims of general creditors something which would lead to weeks of hard work and for which tbe members did not have time. The other reason was that the committee could not use the money without practically assuming the direction of the business of the company, which they did not care to do. The capital stock of the company is 10.000.000 and the par value of the stock $50. It is now selling at 87. Two suits were entered here against the Westinghouse Electric Company this afternoon for small amounts. One was by tbe Key-stone Bank, of Erie, Pa., for $2,000, and the other bv Park Bros. &. Co., steel manufacturers of this city for $800. Mr. v Paul D. Crovato, counsel for Mr. George Westinghouse, jr., was seen tonight, and, beyond making the following statement, refused to say anything relative to the iinancial condition of Mr. Westinghouse's affairs: ; The rumors regarding the financial difficulties of Mr. Westinghouse and the Westinghouse Electrlo Company, which have been sent out Irom Pittsburg during the last day or two, are-very largely exaggerated. Mr. Westinghouse expects to return to Pittsburg to-moirow evening, and with the assurance of assistance which he has recently received here, has strong hope of relieving the Westinghouse Electric Compauy, which is the only one of his companies in serious financial difficulty. The reports which have been sent out witnin the last day or two are so full of errors that it would not bo profitable to discuss them in detail. Close of m Big Ducket-Shop Firm. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 15. Allen & Co., bucket-shop brokers, have decided to close their business. About twenty country correspondents arrived this morning, attracted by the report that the firm waa in difficulties. Others came in this afternoon.

The losses will aggregate fully $500,000. . , Other Business Troubles. Grove City. Pa., Jan. 15. 51. L.

The Stoneboro concern is a small one, and its deposits amount to only about $15,000. Tbe trouble is due to inability to realize on investments. Bradford, Pa., Jan. 15. The firm of Rich & Robinson, shoe-dealers of this city and a branch store at Lima, O., failed throe weeks ago. Their store was closed by the sheritt on judgments amounting to $9,000.

Come Before the Columbus Convention. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., Jan. 15. President J. B. Rae, and Secretary Robert Watchorn have issued a call for the annual convention of the United Mine-workers of America, to be held in Columbus. O., beginning Feb. 10. The questions of screen, yearly scale of prices, cash payments instead of the "truck' system, and eight-hour day will be before the convention for solution. Tbe scale goes into eflect May 1 next. It now properly refers to Eastern coal, particularly Ohio and Pennsylvania. Indiana having withdrawn from the domination of these two States a year ago; but the rates established will more or less directly affect Indiana and llliuois coals as well A slight reduction would place these coals in the Chicago market in active competition with Western coals. The operators will make a strong tight for a reduction, but the miners will demand an advance. The eight-hour day movement is depending on the miners for its inauguration, according to the action of the National Federation of Labor, at Detroit, recently. May 1 will be the time for its beginning. This, then, will be a question of paramount importance, and ail delegates are urged to report with ample instructions. Theie are two national bodies of miners the second being included in National Trades Assembly 185, Kniehts of Labor. That order will meet in Columbus a day prior to the former order. Indiana miners will be represented. Seven Hundred Will Strike To-Day. Chicago, Jan. 15. There now seems to be no question that nearly seven hundred men who to-day are employed as telegraph operators and station agents on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road will hand in their resignations at 7 o'clock to-morrow morning. At the general offices of the company, to-day, they display ignorance as to tbe intention of the men. General Manager Earling is not in the city, and it is understood be is taking active measures to break the force of the strike and prevent a serious interruption of the business of the road. Th committee representing tbe operators and airents have been receiving dispatches at frequent intervals all day from the various divisions, which indicate that there will he no failure in any quarter to carry out the programme. Mary operators who have been asked to take the places of the men who are going out have refused, and have apprised the committee of their action. Grand Chief Thurston, of tbe order of Railway Telegraphers, said to-day: "Tbe Dubuque division operators will leave almost to a man. as will also those on the other principal divisions of the road. There is no dancer of the trouble spreud-ug. All the authority in such matters rests with me, and I am prepared to aay that the strike will be confined to the

John Orth" and Ills Mother. Pall Mall Gazette. The Grand Duchess of Tuscany has not gone into mourning for her missing eon, "John Orth," or Archduke John, and at the Austrian court there is a suspicion that this eccentrio Prince is merely in hiding. He did not secure to himself all the obscurity he wished when he assumed the name of John Orth, for by that name he was known to the whole world, and everybody persisted in treating him like an archduke traveling incognito.

Some also think that bis mother isaware of this and has communicated the fact privately to the Emperor, but that the secret will be kept so far as the public is concerned. Periab. the Thought!

Pressure has become very strong when even the Philadelphia Record expresses regret that no reference was made to the silver issue in Grover Cleveland's latest recital of his speech.
