THE BLAINE HOUSE FIRE. Chief Parris Talks About the Good Work Done by the Fire Department. Fire Marshal Drew has not yet reported to Chief Parris what he considers the origin of the fire at Mr. Leiter's residence which took place yesterday. Mr. Drew is now engaged in his investigation. Chief Parris in an interview with a Stan reporter this morning said that it was imposible for him to determine at this time just the cause of the fire. ‘That fire esterday,” continued the fears out what Ihave frequently an engine company should neighborhood of Dupont Circle so as to be only a short distance from the cipal sub- urban property as well large and costly build- ings in the extreme northwestern section.

The Senate was in scasion just seven and one- half minutes today. The attendance was al- most as largo as it usually is at the hour of meeting. But Mr. Hoar and Mr. Aldrich were absent, and, in accordance with the agreement entered into at the executive session Wednes- day, an adjournment was taken until 12 o'clock on Monday. In view of the complaint of Senator Teller, Senator Hale and others that the managers were trying to force cloture upon the Senate before the usual means of securing action on measures had been tried, Mr. Aldrich hia de- cided not to bring up the cloture resolution on Tuesday. The managers propose to postpone action on this resolution until they have tried and have exhausted every other means of Teaching a vote on the elections bill.

Although it was understood when the Senate adjourned on Wednesday that the session today ‘was to be merely formal there were forty Sena- tors present when the journal wae read, in- cluding Mr. Allison, who ‘had been absent from the city for some ten days past. The Senator- elect from Idaho, Mr. MeConnell, who has not yet been sworn in, was also present and was introduced to a good many of the Senators, as was also Mr. Dubois of Idaho, who has been elected for the term to begin ‘on the 4th of March next.

How Officers Stumbled on a Secret Wire and Gained Entrance to a Club, ‘The New Year reception of the Traymore Club was interrupted last night by the police and the guests of the club were compelled to march to the first precinct station and give their names and deposit $10 collateral each for their ap- pearance. Included in the list were sons of tWo United States Senators, but nearly all of the captured party gave fictitious names. The two men whom the police held responsible were Augustus Brill and Elias Reubenstein. ‘Their true names were recorded and they were held in the station over night, as they could not, under the law, be released either on col- lateral or real estate security. The rooma of the club were on the second floor of No. 910 F street northwest, anda bowl of punch and a Iunch were on a table, free to all. ‘THE RAD. Detectives Raff and Gallaher and Sergeants Perry and Boyle had charge of the raiding party, and found the rooms brilliantly lighted. There was a secret wire running from the rooms to the hallway below, which wasattached ices ree or was a e let visitors in.

MILES’ INDIAN POLICY. ‘His Plan of Campaign Against the Siouz,and ‘What is Said About It. THE HOSTILE CAMP SURROUXDED—ABOUT FIVE HUNDREDB ELLIGERENT RED MEN—ORN. MILES’ FORCES—HI8 COURSE OFFICIALLY APEROVED— UNOFFICIAL CRITICISMS OF THE CAMPAIGN. The official indications are that the climax of the Indian war is near at hand. A. telegram was received this morning by Gen. Schoficld from Gen. Miles at Pine Ridge agency, Dakota, dated yesterday, announcing that all of the hostile, numbering about 3,000 men, women and children, arc now encamped in » section of the Bad Lands, about fifteen miles from Pine Ridge, and that there is an al- ‘most complete;cordon of troops around them. The spot where they have made their stand he describes to be somewhat like the lava beds of California, where the Modocs made their final ~~ It is an excellent ion from the In- ¥ it of = , but north as fastas the Indiens have traveled southward. 500 FIGHTING INDIANS IN THE BAD LANDS. Gen. Miles estimates that there are not more than 500 fighting men in the hostile camp. He adds that the Indians have gathered some cat- fight fo: pea ibe yesfecrneg r supremac; He adds that he now hopes that he will be able close in his circle of soldi ier as to be able to induce them ental stronghold. GEN. BROOKE NOT RELIEVED FROM HIS COMMAND. Gen. Schofield said this morning to a Stam reporter that there was no truth in the report that has been telegraphed from the west that Gen. Brooke has been relieved from his com- wand st Ping and ordered home. Gen. Miles, he added, has charge campaign, and ss it has he bas sta- tioned himself at the most convenient points for general communication | with forces. At first he remained at Chi where he had almost unlimited means for telegraphing. Then he moved his head- quarters to Rapid City, so as to get the quick- est word possible to the whole body of troops moving in from all directions. Finally, when the concentration has so far p as to small compass, "he" has moved ‘again Pine Ridge, and now has command, as before, of the entire body of troops, but ut the int of centralization. ‘This scheme was ren- lered necessary by the conditions which re- quired the congregation of forces from so many points and over such great distances. Gen. Brooke, who has been on the field while Gen. Miles has been maneuvering in this way to get to Pine Ridge simul- taneously wit the bulk of — the troops, bas now left that point for some other place on the scene of action and probably has charge of a section of the forces. Gen. Schofield attributes the rumor to a popular misinterpre- tation of a military movement thatis very easily explained. GEN. MILES’ FORCES. Gen. Schofield went on to say: “It is very difficult to estimate just how many troops there srenowon the scene of action. Gen. Miles has twelve regiments of infantry, five of cavalry and some artillery forces, about half « reg? ment. This gives him seventeen and a half regiments, but that would uot indicate the number of men, for it is impossible to say how fullacomplement the regiments have in the field. “When troops move in the winter in auch A re is =, large. proportion Of tip Wien to bo left becbind from sickness hen and soI would not like to guess how many soldiers there are in the le aroufid the In- dians. Gen. Ruger will. probably remain at St. Panl in commend of the vast region north of the trouble. His services are more valuable there than they would beat ine ‘Hidge. His troops have come south from the railroad and are now in line on the White river, just behind the Indian camp.” GEN. MILES’ COURSE APPROVED. There is nothing in the official atmosphere at the War Department to indicate that Gen. Miles’ course of conciliation or rather peaceful force is not entirely approved by the President, the Sdcretary and the general. “ His dispatches are received and filed without reply and every- thing goes to show that this trio of authorities is perfectly complacent over the situation and its management. The news of the dispatch of which the con- tentsare summarized above spread quite rap- idJy over the department this morning, and caused considerable comment among certain officers who do not agree with their superiors as to the value of the present campaign. CRITICIZING THE CONDUCT OF THE CAMPAIGS. There is astrong party in favor of a more decided style of hostilities, such ae, they claim, would have prevented the trouble at Wounded Knee creek afew duys.ago: | They say that a single assault, with intent to kill if necessary, would precipitate a battle so full of lasting benefit that the loss of a few men—less than were killed — be Segre not be re- garded. © ry of this oy, eee) seems: to be based entirely on the lief that a dead Indian is ever so much more valuable to the government than a captured Indian or one cajoled or frightened into subjection. The Crook people are loud in their claim that if Gen. Crook had been alive the trouble would have been finally settled ‘weeks ago. WHAT GEN. MILES’ FRIENDS Sar. On the other hand, the Miles faction—and the differences between the two have not been healed by the death of Gen. Crook—contend that such a campaign as that which is being conducted by the commander now at Pine Ridge is not only feasible. but the proper style of watfare, every condition be. wrded, ‘They argue, in rebui the ‘deed Indian” theory’ that the Sioor can be easily subjected’ and retarned to "thes reservations ifthe proper means are employed, and they think that the present cam] ‘is ‘the only way to accomplish that ee POLITICS OF THE FUTURE.
