STARVING INDIANS. The Indians at the Poplar river agency In Northeastern Montana are reported to be on the verge of an outbreak. No one will be surprised at this news when it is known that these Indians, about six thousand in number, are actually in a starving condition. They have had only half rations for the past year, and lately they have been so reduced that they have been compelled to kill and eat their dogs and finally, to keep themselves alive,they have killed a few range cattle. It was only when they began feeding upon the cattlo that thefacts of their condition were brought to the attention of the authori- ties,and now Major Hartz,commanding at Poplar river, has called for reinforce- ments, He foars an outbreak, and needs forces to keep the Indians in a starving and dying condition, and to protect the range cattle. It seems to us that the proper thing to do would be to allow them to feed on the cattle, and let the owners seek compensation from the gov- ernment, which is responsible for the situation. Necessity knows no law, and the worder is that these Indians have not gone upon the warpath long ago. The Piegan Indians at Blackfoot agency, also in Montana, have been treated in a similar manner. They have been wast- ing away and dying for a year for the want of food. The deaths average one daily out of a total of two thousand. (iame has entirely disappeared, and thelr only dependence is upon the short rations. Governor Crosby protests in the name of the people of Montana against keeping the nation’s wards within the limits of that territory in such a piti- able and starving condition, Human- ity and justice gdemand their immediate relief, and he calls upon the secrotary of the interior to take the responsibility of ordering the issuance of full rations until congress meets in De- cember. This deplorable state of aftairs is due entirely to the action of the demo- orats in tho house of representatives, who, following a cruel and false policy of economy, withheld proper appropria- and the Denver Z'ribunc tenders the fol- | to shed crocodile tears over Mr. Ran- lowing advice: 5 % som'’s defeat and promise great things for Don't pay a cent in Colorado Springs! | his future, when it is notorious that its Trame otelainsist on thele prosent Bro-| oditor viod with Thurston and Philips in somewhere else, or take your grub and doing the dirty work of the monopolies in camp out.

In January, 1841, the ships of the English fleet were ordered to attack the Rogue forts which defend the river approaches to Capton The Chinese troops fought well and offered at some points & stabborn resistance even at close quarters; but the forts were carried, one after another, and either destroyed or occupied. The following demands were then formulated as representing the terms on which the English government were prepared to_recognize a satisfactory set- tlement. The recognition of the king of England as an independent sovereign, an apoligy for discourteous treatment of Lord Napier, and the right to trade with any post where an imperial custom-house was maintalned, formed the chief points. But although Keshen consented to these terms, as well as to the surrender of Hong Kong, it was only with the intention of gaining time, as his instructions from the Emperor Taoukwang did not allow him to make concessions to the foreign bar- barians, but urged him to get rid of them by some stroke of diplomacy. CARRIED BY STORM. Several weeks further delay ensued, and in February, 1841, the remaining forts of the Bouge were attacked and car- ried by storm. Keshen was disgraced and summoned to Pekin, while in the fol- lowing month the foreign settlements of Canton was occupied by an English force and the town placed under the command made a friendly understanding possible, The Celestials o far slated their preten- tions as to admit Lhat there were other independent governments in the world besides theirs, and that they were en- titled to certain rights and consideration. The disturbed state of China herself lent welght to these opinions, and while the imperial authority was being reasserted to a great extent with forelgn aesistance, the Tsung-Li-Yamen under the guidance of Prince Kung, had an easy task in showing that an agreement with the European powers was essential to the well being of China, C— CHARITY BEGINS A’i‘ HOME, How No, 16,366, New Orleans Men Win Parts ot the Capital ¥'rize of 8 000, Eugene Gaudins, warehouseman for Messrs.

The capture of the Taku rorts brought the imperial government to a more yield- ing frame of mind, Two commissioners were appointed on the arrival of the first Knglish yessels at Tientsin, and after nu- merous delays, negotiations were begun in as much earnestness as Chinese tor- Iversation would allow.
