'A Good Deal of the Sympathy for Them is Wasted, MONEY IN THE CAMPAIGN. ‘They Were Employed as Teamsters ‘and La- borers in the Quartermaster’s Department— Rapid Transit and Issue of Supplies—A Sioux Boycott—Some Practical Suggestions. ‘Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. Rosuvitie, New., Feb. 2. A great deal of pity has been wasted upon the | poor white settlers whose homes are in the vicinity of the considerably contracted but | still great Sioux reservation.

Hotels have been crowded and livery been more tive circulation during the past Rushville ever saw before. If the Pine Ridge Indians will only make a little more noise in the spring time Rushville lots will move up 50 per cent. RAPID WORK OF THE QUARTERMASTER. Comparatively few people have any idea of the immense business which has to be done by the quartermaster department during an Indian campaign. From the supply depots all over the country clothing and’ hores equipments were gathered; Rock Islaud arsenal sent ammu- nition, and everything necossury was secured in ahurry. ‘There was no red tape to tangie up the proceedings. Just after the Wounded Knee fight there was enormous demand and a greater supply. One evening five carloads of subsi=t- ence supplies arrived at Rushville; by 100'clock the next morning every pound of the stuff was on ite way to Pine Ridge. Capt. Ruhlen and his" little force were worked to the verge of exhaustion. Every wagon had to be twice weighed, the unloading and loading had to be personally superiatended, and every driver had to have a duplicate bili of his evening came all there bills were consoli dated into one general and official bill of Jading, which was forwarded to Capt. Chas. F. Humphrey at Pine Ridge. Capt. Itublen had | but two clerks with him, the principal one | being Mr. Offey of Washington. To do the | amount of work that was turned out at Rush- ville there would be thirty or forty clerks em- | ployed in the department ut the national cap- ital. The little crowd commenced operations at about 7a.m. and toiled so long as there was anything to do, freqently until after midnight. hat if Capt.

THE CLAIIS OF THE PATRIOTS. | The country is full, to the bung, of people | whose patriotism is of the purest quality. But | alittle while ago and every able-bodied man in South Dakotrgand northern Nebraeka was howling for protection. Not that kind of pro- tection which manufactured democratic major- 1, but the sort which is afforded by ‘onal Guard. and troops erything sent to him became hix men who had sold the Indians rifles and am- tnunition and the men who bought the gunsa d their accompaniments. Now the wailers are sitting up nights figuring out how much the government ought to pay them for having camped upon the sacred soil in their immediate than under $150,000.

The earthworks that were thrown up were very light, and, so far as protection was co: |, amounted to noth- ing. When the ninth’ cavalry wus out there, just before the command moved in to the agency the utter unsuitability of the place as a fortification was clearly shown. Liout. McAnaney of the ninth says that the Indians who ocenpied the “stronghold” were mostly civilized. In sw of kis assertion he brings up the statement that while he was nosing around the deserted camp he found an accident insurance policy made out in the name of a prominent hostile. The testimony as to the policy would be pertectif the policy iteclt could only be produced, but Mr. McAnaney, who is one of the best story tellers in the army, asserts that it was lost when the wagon train . fie also says that the pictures tronghold” which appeared in some of the illustrated papers were drawn from memory by a man who wasn’t there. ORIGIN OF THE BARBED-WIRE FENCE. “That torn place in my blouse? Did that on a barbed-wire fence,” said Lieut. McAnaney to me one pleasant Pine Ridge afternoon, when the sun and the mercury were falling with about equal rapidity, the mercury a ahead. the-way,” continued ‘the lieu- tenant, “did you ever hear of the circum- stances which ‘brought the barbed-wire fence into exisience? No? Quite interesting and very true. Years ago a pretty girl, down in the state of Kansas, was sitting on a fence, a board fence, near her’ father’s. house. Alongside the feuce were railroad tracks, andjnst when this beautifai maiden was balancing’ herself on the uncomfortably thin edge of the top board a train rolled slowly by and into the station just beyond. An English nobieman was one of the Passengers who saw the vision of loveliness, as Harry Wright would term it, and he was’ so smitten that he had what Finley would call his ‘luggage’ thrown off immediately. Then he followed the fence until he found the vision. Within afew hours the gentleman with Dun- dreary whiskers (all properly equipped En- glish noblemen have them) and the little Kan- sas girl were engaged, and in a few days the engagement cuiminated in matrimony. Of course the manner of the bride's ¢aking-off— off the fence- soon noised abroad. Then farmers who lived near lines of railroad noticed signs of extraordinary wear and tear in their fences, and soon even the stoutest protection broke down. A little investigation located the cause of the trouble: it was those dear girls, and they were all waiting to be taken off. ither threats nor entreaties were of any ail, and the value of property on lines of railroad went away down because fencing was expensive. The oceasion always calls forth the man, d at that time there came out of previous seclusion the inventor of the barbed- wire fence. That was good for the farmers, but bad for the girls. You never saw any kind of «girl sit ona barbed-wire fence, did you? thought not.” ASIOUZ BoYcorr. One of the things which should be immedi- ately attended to by the authoritics is the boy- cott which practically exists at the various agencies on the Sioux reservation. When a very strong minority of the Sioux refused to treat with Gen. Crook, Gen. Warner and ex- Gov. Foster the members of that minority were promptly blacklisted and they have since been continually under the ban. The majority has been allowed to crowd them and the local offi- cials have been careless of the minorty’s rights. A line has been drawn between the signers and the anti-signers and there has been a great deal of persecution indulged in. In this may be found one of the causes of the late trouble. The persecuted are the hostiles of today. No one need be surpriged if the Sioux in the future declines to sign cnything. Old Two Strike, who has as clear ahead as any of his tribe,’ remarked but alittle while ago that Nhenever he touched a pen he always lost some- thing. in, in- e ont A PLAIN BLANKET INDIAN'S SUGGESTION. The views of an ordinary Indian as to how civilization could be advanced among the Sioux may not be of much real value, but they are at least interestingly suggestive. I asked one of the Ogallalasjust a common, every-day bienket Indian—what he thonght of’ the send- ing of delegations to Washington to see how the white man lived and prospered. He said it would be better to have a number of the men who talk in the big (the Capitol) come out to Pine Itidge and after changing their civilized garments for blankets, breech clouts and moccasins, to live with the Indians and in that way find out what was really needed. ‘The suggestion may not be adopted, but the plan is better than the one now in vogue. PRACTICAL EDUCATION NEEDED. ‘The Brule Sioux never had a more practical friend than Capt. Lee, who for the second time is their military agent at Rosebud. He delioves in Indian edueation and talked to me about it the other evening. “I want every young Indian tobe educated,” eid he, “but the knowledge we feed to him ‘ought to have a commercial value. The Indian who can cor- rectly state the boundaries of Kamschatka has no show whatever alongride of his brother who has no book learning, but who can intelligently earn $10. Classical education for Indians is simply expensive nonsense. Can any reason- able being hope in five years to eradicate the heredity of fitteen generations of savagery? When I was in charge of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe ageney I had a teacher there who would spell same word fifteen different ways on the same page of a etter, but he educated more Indians than any othr teacher I ever saw. He taught the boys what a yard was and made them understand the weight of a pound and the value of a dollar. | Every boy in bis school owned from_ ten to| twenty head of cattle when they studied under him for five years. That's the sort of an.eda- vicinity. When the soldiers arrived at the lit- | tle frontier settlements of Adaton and Oelrichs | there was great rejoicing on the part of the seared inhabitants. The scare is over now and | the bilis are coming in. One of these bills amounted to $87, just jor the use of « small ‘of ground on which two companies of try were camped for three weeks. ‘The estate of,the whole countrs, put up for ion, would hardly have realized that amount on the first day of January last. ADJUTANT FINLEY'S MENAGERIE. Such experiences are not uncommon in times of peace. Adjutant Walter L. Finley of the inth cavalry has not forgotten the day when [he was ove of the attractions in a traveling show. It happened in i888, when that inter- ‘esting body of troops known as the Leaven- worth battalion was doing a practice march from Leavenworth to Topeka.

From Boston comes the story df the impris- onment of six Ameriean sailors for two years and ten months in a Siberian coal mine. Their offense was poaching in Russian waters for seal and walras, One American died after starving | i upon rice soup and being eaten by vermin. ‘This seems also to have been the fate of the twelve or fifteen Jnpanese who made up the rest of the crew. Capt. Joseph W.

The Na- moa left Hongkong for Swatow, a port about 200 miles to the north of Canton, at 8 a.m. op ful | December 10 with five saloon and 220 Chinese deck passengers, the Istter being chiefly re- turned emigrants from the Straits Settlements who had their savings with them. All went well till 1:15 the same day, when the vessel was passing the Island of Ping-Hoi. Sud- denly, from among the Chinese passengers, a band of between forty and fifty men made their ay ‘on deck. They had hanged the dress in which they came on board for a kind of uniform not unlike that worn ¥ Chinese sol- diera. All were armed with revolvers and cut- lasses. Béfore any of the crew could realize what the demonstration meant, the pirates, evidently following a carefully-laid plan, had divided “themselves into four gangs and com- menced sishultancous attack on the saloon, where captain and gers were a Tunch, the engineers’ and ofticers’ quarters, the bridge, and the engine room. The atiack was so sudden and determined that resistance was impossible, and, moreover, the pirates had taken the precaution of seizing thearms and ammuni- tion belonging to the ship. Several of the officers were wounded in en- deavoring to clude their pursuers. Some of the pirates, pointing their revolvers through the skylight, called on the captain to come on deck. One man spoke in “pidgin” English. He said: “We are going to rob the passengers and want io settle with you.” Capt. Pocock sprang fom the head of the table and walked quickly toward the door of the saloon. He had hardly reached the deck when one of the pirates, who was standing at the door, deliberately fired at him, the bullet taking effect in the right breast. Capt. Poeock did not fall at once, but managed to stagger into his stateroom and sank dying on his bed, blood flowing profusely from the wound. He expired there about an hour afterward. Meanwhile the pirates were pursuing their work. The saloon passengers had rushed from the lunch table and concealed themselves in their rooms, into which shots were fired and stinkpots thrown. ‘The second mate,surrounded by a party of pirates with revolvers und drawn cutlasses, was compelled to go into the saloon and tell the passengers to come out of their Tooms and go into the captain’s statetoom and stay there if they did not want to be killed, The passengers thereupon came out of their rooms and went into the stateroom, where Capt. Pocock lay dying. Here they were locked in and a watch of four men put over them. The chief engineer, who was at lunch in his own Toom, ran aft to the saloon, several shots being fired at him on the way. He got into the cap- tain’s stateroom and was kept a prisoner there with the others. The chief officer then hid himself in the pantry, where shots were fired at him and vtinkpots thrown in. It being impossible to «tay there, he came out and was imprisoned in the’ stateroom, the object of the pirates evidently being to getall the officers and Europeans into this place and keep them there. The second and third engineers and third officer were still con- cealed in the engine room. The pirates took the second mate there and ordered him to tell the concealed men that if they came out no harm would be done to them. “They came out and were also imprisoned in the stateroom. All the officers, engineers and European pawen- gers having been put into this place the door was nailed up, the windows closed and the guard of four pirates continued to keep watch over the place, occasionally intimidating the prisoners by thrusting their cutlasses and the tmuzzles of their revolvers through the open- ings of the jalousies fore leaving, the pirates threw a bag con- taining about $200 into the engine room as a present to the native firemen. ‘They quitted the ship about 9 o'clock, having been in posses tion for about eight hours, and a quarter of ‘an hour afterward the ofticers, enginecrs and sengers broke out of their stif_ing prison,where the dead body of Capt. Pocock lay. The shij was then got in readiness as quickiy aa povsible for returning to Hongkong. On arrival, the wounded were at once removed to hospital. ‘The body of Capt. Pocock lay in his state room aud on deck was that of a nger named Peterson, ‘The deck of the ship was strewn with such portions of the passengers’ luggage as had been rejected by the pirates, while ull over the ship could be seen the marks made by bullets and stinkpots. ‘The pirates did not take any of the cargo, although there were forty chests of opium on board. ‘The value of the plunder is suid to be about $20,000. ‘There werea number of rich Chinese passengers on board returning from San Francisco, the straits, &c., to their omes.
