THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.0,; .WEDNESDA ‘JANUARY 14, 1891. 6 PINE RIDGE NEWS. ‘The Star's Special Dispatch From the Scene of War. THE BASE BALL CONFERENCE TODAY. England Approves the Latest Bering re Sea Move. ANOTHER IRISH CONFERENCE. STILL AWAITING EVENTS. Be Decided Movement Yet Made by the Hostile Indians. ‘From the Evening Star's Staff Correspondent. Pox Bivos Aarxcr, 8.D., Jan. 14.—The hos- tiles are apparently no nearer coming this morning than they were twenty-four hours ago. They are still encamped in the same place they have occupied for two days, and have not expressed any desire to approach nearer the strong military force now ready for business. In the rear of the hostiles is Gen. Brooke and a large body of troops, but no movement was either made or expected. Gen. Miles insists that the hostiles practically surrendered when they en- camped within easy range of the big rifled guns, but the fact remains that the delegation of hos- tile chiefs and head men, which was to have come in yesterday for the purpose of discussing the situation, failed to put in appearance. Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse came to the agency and bad a lengthy talk with Gen. Miles. He returned to the hostile camp bearing with i must force matters to a seooay ‘conclusion.

Brooke's camp near the Catholic mission and its passing within range of the hostile camp came usly near ing the trouble which every one be sroided. 4 young Brule hostile, armed with a long-range Winchester, took aim at one of the officers and was with’ difficulty ented from killing him. The Indians who were las. These counseled ‘MURDERERS DEMANDED OF THE HOSTILES. It is betieved that Gen. Miles has demanded the surrender of the Indian who killed Lieut. Casey, Herder Miller and the trooper of the ninth cavalry. All these killings have been cowardly murders. Late last night it became known that Iron Hawk was arguing viciously and noisily in the hostile camp against the proposition to surrender their | arms. and — others insist that | hostiles will be murdered by the | soldiers-if they give up their guns. An early morning to” the Bad Lands was by no means improbable, and there was informa- | tion to the effect that the warlike Brules would | break away from the temporizing at midnight. This did not occur. Gen. Miles, Col. Corbin and Capt. Maus were | up nearly all night and couriers were sent to | Gens. Brooke, and Wheaton. NO STAMPEDE TO THE DAD LANDS. Sensational reports have been sent from here to eastern papers in which it was stated that several hundred Brule warriors broke through the northern line of troops and got away to the Bad Lands. The only foundation for such rumors is the known desire of the Brules to get away. It is generally understood that the report of the board of inquiry in the Forsythe case is in the hands of Gen. “Miles, and there is an im- pression abroad to the effect that Maj. Kent and Capt. Baldwin are not of one mind as to what ought to be done. Shortly before midnight word was received from Col. Merriam, seventh infantry, stating that party of citizens had killed one of party of twelve hostile Indians on the Cheyenne Fiver about seventy-five miles north of this | place. Two horses were also killed and two ‘Wagons captured. G.H.H. a TWO CLUBS IN BOSTON. ‘The Plan Favored by the Base Ball Confer- ‘ence Committee. ‘New Yorx, Jan. 14.—The conference com- mittee of the league and American Association went into session this morning and finished its business at noon. The principal bone of con- tention was the question of allowing an Ameri- can Association club in Boston. The majority | will report in favor of granting Boston an American Association franchise. “John B. Day of the New York lea report The National went into session at 12:15 and the American Association will meet at$ o'clock. From present appearances there can be no settlement of the ulty for two or three days. Boston league men are firm in the refusal to allow another club in the city, but a two-thirds vote is said to be st them on that point. They have achampion in Mr. Day. Injunction papers have been served on Chris. ‘Von der Abe of St. Louis and President Parsons of the Louisville club to restrain the associa- tion from expelling Toledo. The Toledo people claim that they have not violated any agree- tent, as Kochester and Syracuse are alleged to havedone. It is not thought that Toledo will consent to be bought ont. Bennett and Scanlon of the old Wash- club arrived at the hotel about 11 o'clock and said that they had come to look after their association franchise. About 11:30 the association delegates retired to parlor K for deliberation, but adjourned at fifteen minutes to 3 o'clock, because of the fail- ure of the conference committee to have its re- le club will present the it. port on hand.

Loxpox, Jan. 14.—The Russian police have succeeded in obtaining confessions from several of the hundred or more persons to be put on trial shortly for nihilism. These confessions show that the nihilist propaganda is as power- fal as ever and especially strong in the higher schools and universities, from which operations are directed. The nibiliste, the informers say, would for the present be satisfied with freedom of the press and the creation of a national assembly, such as existed until the sixteenth century and was sbolished by the czars.

They are en route for America, The Marie Henriette had been ally chartered espec for the trip, and found great difficulty in mak- ing her way through the dense fogs.

His Condition About the Same, but His Recovery Thought Impossible. There was little or no change in Senator Hearst's condition up to a late hour today. He is simply growing weaker by degrees and will, in all probability, continue to do so until the inevitable end arrives. It is understood that a consultation of physi- cians was held yesterday. The decision has been reached that the Senator is suffering from cancer of the colon or large intestine and there is absolutely no hope of his recovery. Hots blo to hake but little nourishment, enough, however, to sustain life, and his splen- did constitution is doing the ret Th ‘ians realize, mitly, fan do nothing for ‘iim beyond Keeping disease is incurable juestion the physician 8 formed his family that there is absolutely no hope. ‘When the Senator came cast about the begin- ning of the session he went to New York and himeelf under the care of Dr. C. 8.

Dr. Ward has made several flying visits to this city, but there was of | little that could be done to check the advance of the dread disease. Senator Hearst bas not been in his seat in the Senate this session and here is no possibility that he will ever oceupy it again. GOSSIP AT THE CAPITOL. The actual condition of Senator Hearst has been the matter of considerable comment at age that the Senator was dying, if not actually dead. While in, that his condition was greatly improved. 2 EE ASE MeCARTHY CONTRADICTED. Parnell Declares That He Told Him the Points of His Manifesto. At the mecting of the National League at Dublin yesterday Mr. Parnell was given an en- thusiastic reception. He was repeatedly greeted with cheers and reiterated the statement he has previously made, to the effect that he informed Mr. Justin McCarthy as to the chief foatures of his manifesto at least twenty-four hours before it was published. During the course of his remarks Mr. Parnell said that conspiracy and lying were, next to Billingsgate, the prominent feature of his ponent’ resources and arguments. He said outlined to Mr. McCarthy what are known as the four points of his manifesto. Mr. McCar- points of the REDMOND SUPPORTS PARNELL’S STORY. Mr. John Redmond has authorized the Dub- lin Telegraph to state that the night before Mr. Parnell’s manifesto was handed to the press, it was read by Mr. McCarthy in the pres- of Mr. Parnell, Mr. Leamy, Mr. William Red- mond, Mr. O'Kelly and himself. Mr. McCarthy then informed Mr. Parnell that Mr. Gladstone said that if it was published he would im-| mediately flatly contradict it, and dispute Mr. Parnell’s memory as to the Hawarden conver- sation. Mr. Redmond adds, “My recollection inconsistent with O'BRIEN ON THE IRISH SITUATION.

In conclusion he offered, as an amendment, the proj ition presented Mr. Stewart on the Liu instant, providing or the iapenttion of a coinage charge on foreign silver. LATEST FROM GEN. MILES, Indians Have Moved Up and Encamped in Sight of the Troops. A dispatch from Gen. Miles to Gen. Scho- field, dated Jannary 12, was received at the War Department this afternoon: “The Indians have moved up White Clay creck and camped within sight of our troops, and not over two miles distant. Everything indicates that the military will have full con- trol of the entire body. Nothing but a mistake or an accident can now prevent s most desira- ble result. They are, however, very excitable and wild, and it will take much time to get them under full control and restore confidence and permanent peace.” ‘The District Appropriation Bill. Mr. McComas, late this afternoon, succeeded in getting the District appropriation bill up for action. ‘The bill was taken up immediately after the of the army appropriation bill. Mr. Epringer insisted on the Bill being read and the clerk commenced the monotonous reading o the figures and paragraphs. Block Wins His Case. In the Circuit Court, Judge Cox, today the case of Sigmund J. Block against Mary Kelly, action for possession of certain property, re- sulted in a verdict for plaintiff for possession tnd $83 intervening rent es The Eckington Railroad. ‘The stockholders of the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home Railway Company today elected the following as directors: Alexander T.

BUFFALO BILL'S VIEW. * ‘The Situation in the Indian Country = Mar- vel of Military Strategy. Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), who is at Pine Ridge, yesterday wrote the following for the New York Sun, which expresses his views of the present critical situation: “The situation today, so far as military strat- egy goes, is one of the best-marked triumphs known in the history of Indian campaigns. It speaks for itself, for the usual incidents toan Indian warfare, such as raids on set- tlers and widespread devastation, have been wholly prevented. Only one white man has been killed outside the military circle. The presiding genius and his able aides have acted with all the cautious prowess of the hunter in surrounding and placing in a trap his danger- | i,t ous game, at the same time recognizing the yalue of Keeping the game imprisoned for fu- ture reasons. of ovniee, of the cam- paign a originally intended to overawe and pacify the dianffectod portion of the faswaohas and Brules, the Big Foot affair Wounded Knee creek being an unlooked- accident. CREDITABLE TO GEN. MILES’ REPUTATION. “The situation today, with a’ desperate band corralled and the possibility of any individtal fanatical running amuck is most critical, but the wise measure of holding them in a military wall, allowing them time to quiet down and listen to the assurances of such men as Yo Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses, Rocky Bear, No Neel and other progressive Indians, relieves the sit- uation, so that unless some accident happens the military end of the active warfare seems a complete, final and brilliant success, as credit able to Gen. Miles’ military reputation as it is to the humane and just side of his character. “Neither should praise be withheld from Gens.

It is not thought that such a move could be made hostiles without giving sufficient warning or notice to Gen. Miles for him to have sent word of some sort to the Secretary.

The Senator took the floor at 10 o'clock, or immediately on the conclusion of the open- ing routine business, and spoke for about two hours. Asaconsequence very many who ar- Tived about noon were disappointed in missing the speech entirely. It was generally under- stood that Mr. Ingalls would begin bis address about 12 o'clock and if this plan had been ad- hered to he would have spoken to galleries crowded to the point of suffocation.

A POST OFFICE ABOLISHED. Eleven Men Arrested for Conspiring Against the Postmaster. ‘The post office at Catherine, Ala, has been abolished. Two weeks ago the office was es- tablished and acolored man appointed post- master. Some of the citizens objected to this man holding the office and served notice upon him that he should leave the town. Threats of death were made and the postmaster left. Post office inspectors have investigated the case and have arrested eleven men charged with conspiracy to interfere with a government officer in the discharge of his duties. ‘The men arrested are the following named: Ed Taylor, A. Evans, Walt Gamble, W. W. Win- brome, Crosenk Abrahams, W. A. Wooten, C. B. Wooten, Dr. Jim King, O. T. Fontaine, Ed- ward M. Bell and John 8. Lyles. Employment of, Pinkerton Detectives. The House committee on commerce yesterday referred toasubcommittee for consideration and report, the resolution introduced by Bepre- sentative Quinn (WN. Y.) to prohibit the employ- ment of Pinkerton detectives by railroad com- pani ss Secretary Windom and the Silver Brick. Secretary Windom has addressed a letter to Messrs. Merrick and Morse, who recently pre- sented silver brick to the superintendent of the mint at Philadelphia, for free coinage. He says: “I have reosived your communication of the 6th instant, stating that you have tendered to the superintendent of the United States mint at Philadelphia a bar or ignot of silver bullion, with the demand that it be received and coined for the use and benefit of the de- tors, and that upon his refusal to receive it lor that purpose you had applied to the director of the mint to instruct him to do so, and that the director, in response thereto, confirmed the action of the superintendent. You now submit the matter to me as Secretary of the Treasury with the request that I direct the officers above named to receive said bar or ignot, and coin the same for the use and benefit of the tors. T have y considered said tion, but as you do not point out any law and I a: unable to find one, authorizi1 ‘the receipt of silver bullion at the mints of the United States for coinage for the benefit of lepositors, it seems my plain duty to decline request.
