Floors at the Shoreham Have Fallen. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE WORKMEN. A Scene of Great Confusion, But For- tunately No One Injyed. An accident which might have resulted in the death or maiming of many individuals took place at the Shoreham Hotel this afternoon shortly after 2:30 o'slock. Workmen were engaged in Jacking up » mis- placed girder, which was supposed tobe useful 8s support for @ portion of the hallway on the sixth floor. The jack rested on the stair hallway on the fifth floor, and as that was simply a mass of light timber, heavy concrete and orna- mental tiles, the floor resistance was insufficient, and the jack, supports and everything else but the workmen fell on the floor below and the sudden impact caused that to give way also. LANDED IN THR BASEMENT. ‘This wes repeated until the mass of timber ‘and plaster landed in the basement and blocked up the interior entrance to the cafe. The escape of the workmen and of those who ordinarily use the hotel stairways was hardly short of miraculous. Among those who witnessed the affair there was an organized tendency either to say noth- ing or to make as light as possible of the oc- currence. Manager Keencn, looking dolefully at the tons of debris, and then up through the ragged short-cut to the roof, said it was but a little matter which would soon be righted. The accident was, however, deemed of suffi- cient importance to demand the stationing of bell boys and others at the hotel entrances with instructions to prevent or retard the entrance of any persons who were not on the register or the pay roll.

Capt. Penney Writes portant Letter to the Indian iestoner. Capt. Chas. G. Penney, U.S. A., the acting Indian agent at Pine Ridge agency, has written under date of April 7. long letter to the com- missioner of Indian affairs relative to the con- dition of affairs at the agency and the prospects for the future. He enumerates the cause of the outbreak among the Indians last winter as being the failure of the government to keep faith with the Indians and to fulfill its solemn treaty obligations and the failure of the food suppiy. “So far as the rations are concerned,” the captain adda, “this has been remedied in the mat- ter of beef, which under existing contracts can now be made right. So far as legislation goes the other causes of trouble have been made right, but as the Indians see it, it is at this date only another promise, As another promise backed by the performance of the agreement in regard to rations it seems to inspire hope again among thera. HOPE SHOULD NoT BE DEFERRED. The writer thinks that it is important that this hope be not long deferred. He ur strongly the great importance of doing some- thing, however small, in the way of a begin- ning of the fulfillment of the promises which have now become « part of the law of the land. The captain states that “the general effect of the recent outbreak upon the minds of the Indians has been bad, Wholly bad. Severe losses which they have suffered and the destruction of life which has ensued has made their hearts bitter and sore. They feel that they bave not been whipped and that the soldiers were afraid and held their hands in fear and not in merciful ki nest. Had they been thoroughly chastised, the half of them killed and the remainder cowed into abject subjection, horrible and uncalled for a» such a would have been, they would have felt they been Punished and in crouching fear would have insted the rod of correction, as these poor, ‘oppressed and down-trodden people have done so often before. They are generally no less in- clined to be turbulent, and the memory of the Jose of kinsfolk, friends and fellow-tribesmen rankles in their hearts and is an ever-present source of discontent, which may break out whenever the needed spark is applied.” DANGER TO BE APPREHENDED. “So farasIcan ascertain,” the writer con- tinues, “there are no indications of a growing discontent, but there is danger to be appre- hended of fature trouble. I amled to this con- clusion because the people are in a state of unrest. They have not begun their farming nor their usual avocations, their houses and places of abode have been plundered, and they, only half hearted in their work, feel that it is hardly worth while to try again lest there be another war and all their work go for naught. I see it in the way in which they listen towhat I tell them, trying hard to believe that what I say is true and yet ouly half believing. You ask me to state specifically the facts on which I base my bad opinion. It is more than I can do. Come out here and live among them and see it on the expression of their faces and hear it in the tone of their voices. An In- dianis a merry, happy, careless child, full of friendship and good, or he is # raging devil, full of blood madness. ‘These people just now are neither. ‘They may be either.’ HOW PEACE CAN BE ASSURED. The captain thinks that peace and quiet in the reservation would be assured by allowing the delegation that was selected by Gen. Miles and visited this city last win- ter to come here again and ‘have Gen. Miles with them. He says that they fecl that when here last that they were not allowed to talk; that they were not treated with the re- spect and consideration due them. He further advises that his recommendation in regard to increasing the police force to 100 men be ap- proved. He commends the establishment of subissue stations and thinks that the boys who come from manual training schools should be given a chance to make the shoes, the harness, wagons, éc., that are used by the Indians. —_—____+.

Over 40 per cent of the electors did not appear at the polls, and consequently did not vote. The nationalists, at the last elec tion, polled a sufticient number of voter to swamp all rivals, but now they only muster s bare one-fourth of the electors. One reason of this apathy was that Prince Bismarck did vot take any part in the contest. He did not evca issue an address to the electors. ‘A Hamburg dispatch this morning says thet Prince Bismarck received with equant the result of the voting at Geestemunde and was rather gratified at not being defeated, in wew of the active opposition of the government erd socialists, The prince, his friends say, is conti- dent of the election on’ the second and is well satisfied with the prospects of going to the reichstag.
