Official Dispatches From Gen. Miles—Disin- tegrating the Hostile Element. Secretaay Proctor this morning received a telegram from Gen. Miles, at Chicago, saying that Gen. Brooke reports that one great cause of complaint on the part of the Indians of Rose- bud, settled on Pass creek, is that they were ordered to move east of the boundary when they had been assured they would not have to move. They ask to be transferred to Pine Ridge and the Indians of that agency have consented. In the opinion of Gen. Brooke, if he can be authorized to give them the assurance that they will not have to move it will weaken and disin- tegrate the hostile element still further. DISCRETIONARY POWER TO GOV. BROOKE. Gen. Miles says that he wired Gen. Brooke that he had diseretion in the case, but that he did not think promises to the Indians were necessar} i He told Gen. Brooke to assure them that “we have secured them increased rations ve Ke- eured occupation for a large number and the | military will be their friends as lon obey orders, but are prepared to be their ene- | mies if they commit crimes or defy the govern- + ment. Gen. Miles adds that Gen. Brooke has been authorized to make the transfer an: will be no difficulty in making it nent should it be found to be expedient future. “TWO STRIKE” COMING IN. Another telegram from Gen. Miles stated that reports received yesterday from Gen. Brooke are favorable, announcing still further disintegration among the hostile element. He | expe ‘Two Strike in tomorrow. ‘his is the man who, not more than thirteen | dered Gen. Seliverskoff. The neighborhood of days ago threatened to stab Gen. Brooke as the signal to commence hostilities. ‘This, however, was in a harangue of an Indian in’ the pres- ence of hix own people, Gen. Miles remarks, and not in the presence of a strong body of United States troops. The general that if this disintegration continues the roxpects are favorable, but would still leave se dificult work of controlling and governing | the Sioux tribes during the winter and taking | such measures as will gain their confidence and | prevent the possibility of their breaking out in spring. BASE BALL PROSPECTS. A Promising Plan for Locating = Nine Here. The deciding step toward organizing a stock company for the purpose of securing a fran- chise in the American Base Ball Association was taken Inst night at a meeting of those inter- ested, which was held at Willard’s Hotel. Those present were Messrs. Michael B. Scanlon, Charles A. Barnes, Robert M. Drinkard, Henry Bennett, Justin McCarthy, August Bruehl, John J. Hogan, Edwin Suther- land and Dr. C. M. B. Harris. Mr. Drinkard, the temporary chair- man, explained that the plan of or- ganization was a company based on a pital of $20,000 divided into forty sha worth $500 each, of which twenty-five already been subscribed. This insures a suffi cient sum to go ahead with the preparations for next season, and a club will be formed whether the remaining fifteen shares—which are pected to go very soon—are subscribed or not. He said that several offers of land for ball had been made, but one had been viewed with especial fayor. This came from Geo. Truesdell, and related to the location of the grounds on the line of the Eckington elec- tric ray, @ short distance beyond the boundary. Dr. C. M. B. Harris was elected temporary treasurer and Mr. Thos. B. Kalbfus temporary secretary, and the meeting adjourned for a week. a’ ‘Treasury Department Changes.

Parliament is disturbed at present with the was being decimated by emigrants instead of swelled by immigrants. But parliamentary discussion points contrari- wise, and the question now is whether the Haworth law, that taxes all new comers, prevail, or wheth shall be accepted, which, based upon the custom in America, is intended to restrain all from lunding who cannot prove their ability to pay their way. If it were not for the overshadowing Irish uabble this question of immigration would loubtless attract more attention, as investi ‘ion into the matter shows that the influx of foreigners, Germans who are able to live on a very small sum, has been reducing Wages toa point at which the ordinary man is unable to make both ends meet. ROYALTY'S LACK OF RESERVE. One of the peculiarities of loyalty is the entire lack of reserve and modesty that private Persons are glad to wrap about them in those matters that seem to demand delicacy in re- mark and treatment. It is hardly to be sup- posed that the refined American maiden, ever mting her the license that Euroy lieve she enjoys, would care to her garters into inch pieces for dis tribution among the — male _—_ guests at her marriage, and yet that is an established custom in Germany. ‘Neither would she care to make public display of her underwear, as did the Princess Victoria within the past month for afew days preceding her nuptials. But after all this has been done it is not in the slightest degree astonishing that the Emperor William should order prayers to be read inall the churches of the country for the safe and happy accouchement of the Empress Auguata, which, in view of that inevitable incident, his majesty has directed shall be done. In connection wit this event it may not be inappropriate to ob- serve that the result of the new census of Ber- lin shows that city to have 1.574.495 inhabit- ants, an increase since 1385 of 250,000. KOSSUTH NOT ENDURING POVERTY. From Vienna it is learned that the great Kos- sith is not suffering from depressing pove as has been reported, but is in comfortable cir- cumstances. Although not rich he lives a acett juiet life with his sister, Madame ‘who for many years was a teacher of languages in New Nork, by which calling she accumulated sufficient to stipport her modestly and which she now shares with her brother. THE POPE'S SUCCESSOR. From Rome comes the tidings that the French and Spanisn cardinals are combining for the nomination of Cardinal Zigliani as suc- cessor to his holiness Leo XIII in the chair of St. Peter. , The feeling is general that the elec- tion of a foreigner to the office of the supreme pontiff would be an impossibility, the only available members of the sacred college being the Swiss Cardinal rmillod and the Amer- iean Cardinal Gibbons As it is most improbable and contrary to all experience that either of these prelates, worthy as they undouLt-dly are, should be chosen, and as, in View of his holiness’ extreme age and fai ing health, a selection is imperatively neces- sary in order to preserve harmony in the church and to avoid all unseemly ta ittle doubt that the choice of ears lege isa mor very respected and esteemed. INTERNATIONAL RESENTMENTS. Germany and France appear to bear their mutual resentment ever in mind.

This has placed a somewhat heavier burden of trouble on the Fri than they pat upon Germany in their Koch stroke. It has made it necenary for the exhibitors from France to send their merchandise to Dunkirk, thence they are taken by an English steamer to Hull and thus to Revel, from where they are sent by rail to Moscow. By this means Germany is avoided entirely, but ata risk of breakage and a prob- 9 able loss that is DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. YROPOSED WESTWARD EXTENSION OF THE WASH- INGTON AND GEORGETOWN RAILROAD. Some time ago, as printed at the time in Taz Stan, President Hurt of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company requested per- mission of the Commissioners to extend the lines of his company past the stable in Ge town to the entrance of the Free bridge. ‘Th matter was referred to the attorney for the Dis- trict, that he report at an early day whether the Commissioners had the power to grant the company the permission desired or not. Aa sistant Attorney Thomas today submitted his opinion, in which he holds that the charter of the company forbida the extension desired and that Congress is the ouly power that can grant the request. Spezking of the matter witha Stan reporter Commissioner Douglass said that he wax sorry that the matter could not be adjusted by the Commissioners, as he believed the extension of the roud as ‘asked would be a great benefit to the publi was of the opinion, however, thut the company would experience no trouble in getting Con- Gress to grant the extension desired. sos ent ie A Boy Charged With Larceny. An innocent-looking sixteen-year-old boy, named Poindexter Hamilton, was arrested Thursday by Detectives Horne und Mahon and locked up for larceny. This boy. a good-look- ing lad, was arrested when he was but nine years old, but he was not prosecuted at that time, and no doubt thought that he would get off as easily this time. He lived “with ‘his mother at No. 915 G street northwest, and" re- cently he has stolen articles of clothing and jewelry, a revolver and a clock. He returned some of the articles, but was arrested before he had time to restore all his plunder. When arrested he admitted his guilt. —— Marriage Licenses.

His amend- ment brought ona discussion at great length. MR. INGALLS ON SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT. Mr. Ingalls objected to the proposal and pro- ceeded to give his views on the District govern- | ment. An absolute despotism prevailed here, he said. The government was an anomaly and this was the only place under the flag where — the People had nothing | whatever to say as to their local government. | _ “It is not wholly to the praise of republican | institution id Mr. Ingalls, “that in wpite of all this Washington is the best governed city in | the world.” The experiment of self-govern- ment had been tried and had failed. ‘The government had then by unanimous | consent of the two houses and of ‘the people of | the District, with the exception of those wish- ing office, been change overnment of this city was not open to invidious criticism when compared with that of other cities.

Senator Dolph thought the present ad minis- tration of affairs in Washington was against the spirit of our government. Mr. Reagan held that the government of the District wis extravagant in the extreme.

Dr. Shippen and were opened by the singing of the chunt, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth” by a male quartet. After a brief prayer Dr. Shippen made an ad- dress in which he paid an eloquent tribute to the character and lite of the dend man. The quartette sang “Abide With Me” and after- wards came the closing prayer by Dr. Shippen. The casket was wrapped in the stars and stripes and buried under a wealth of floral of- ferings from his friends and comrades, the G. A.

A Brilliant Gathering to Hear His Story of the Rescue of Emin.
