OMAHA, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1890 NO NEW MOVE AT PINE RIDGE, Troops Still Under Orders to be Ready for Immediate Action, MUCH DISSATISFACTION ~ MANIFESTED. A Hundred More Friendlies Retreat to the Bad Lands to Join the Hostiles and Others Will Follow. Pixe Rinor Acexey, 8. D, (via Rushville Neb,) Dec. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bee.)—The Rosebud Indiaus on Wounded Knee have not me in, but have moved about ten miles north across White river, close to the bad lands, They went there n viewof haviog a convenicnt hiding p! when the troops go after them. They can casily hide, but the troops can starve them out in a short time. About onechundred lodges that stood on the north side of Wolf creck have disappearcd since last even- ing, they having pulled up stakes between then and daybreak. Old-timers do not know what to think about this move. It 18 constdered by some as an omen of trouble, while others look at it in a more cheerfu light. 'The Indians who broke into houses were starving and had to dosomecthing to keep body and soul togethor. The troops are still ready to move on a mo- ment's notice, High Hawlk, one of the chiefs of the Rosepuds, sent a letter to Royer this morning. It is reported that this letter contains this threat: our soldlers to tuke us, ) fight. HiGH AWK, T'he failure of the government to prote the property of friendly Indians has caused a great deal of adverse talk. “Such treat- ment s & burning shame,” said Special Agent Cooper late last night. “I wouldn't blame these friendly Indians if they would every one turn traitors and fight us y seo there have been soldiers here more than a- week, and yet not a mov been made, mot a gun raised, to luut homes and property they left in obedier thoe government's command. These Ind! avenot belng fairly dealt with; no, ways from it. Idid not want to censtre the government, but I tell you that its action, or rather fuaction, during the t week ha laid the foundation for a new source of dis- satisfaction that will keep the In- dians turbulent for four years to come. I have worried and thought bout this thing until [ am fighting mud. Where is the governor of any state in the union that, if he heard a band of niarauds no matter what might be the color of their skins, was robbing and burninghomes and stealing cat- tle by the hundredas of heads,would not order the state militia Yo the spot immediately? And here we have had eleven to twelve hundred soldiers here fora while just such reports have been coming in, verified a dozen times over every duy.” “Yes, sir,” added Agent Royer, “the i tion of the troops during the fivst week, while these depredations have been in fullswing, is golug to result in our having a perfect liell on this reservation for years to come, and L doubt if its influence can ever be er ted. Our action has been that of treachery in the eyes of the Indians and many of them will 'c'.:r y this couviction to their graves with them.” WJUDGE BURNS STORY. Wo are all 0 1o He Gives a Rather Lurid Accouat of the Doings of the Hostiles. Pixe Rivar Acexcy, S, D., (via Rushville, Neb.,) Dec. 1.—|Special Telegram to T Bee.|—Judge Burns of Deadwood came in this noon from running the gauntlot of the hostile camp. He says heis devoutly thank- _ fulat having escaped witt his life. There is no doubt, e says, but that the red workers for war are preparing thoroughly for a great strugele and that they have no thought of giving up their purpose. A member of the camp proclaimed his approach when =he was 8 log way of so that when he neared the camp he fouad it brist- ling with preparation for an attack. The hostile band is made up almost exclusively of young men who have disregarded the advice of the old chiefs, taken the reins into their own hands and have vowed to fight until death. The ghost dance, Judge Burns said, further, 1s being done all night long and is varied dur- ing the day with the old time war dance. He corroborates tully the provious reports as to the abundance of food and amunition which they have and says they ave making up a big supply of a new pattern of tomahawk which is more ugly than the old style. What friendly Indians there aro left hero at the ageney are coming in and telling Agent Royer that they do wish this thing could be settled without bloodshed. Royer's reply is in effect that he is afraid it is too late now. C. H.C. STEALING CATTLE. The Ohief Herder Has Some Sensa- tional News for the Troops. ‘PINE RIDGE AG Neb.) Dec. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tux Bee.]—-John Dwyer, chief goverament herder, came in tonight and gave very im- portantand sensational news, He said that all the cattle had been driven away by the Rostile Indians, and latter had not only taken full possession of the government cattle there, numbering some three thousand head ‘but had burned off the entirs range. He said they had camped in the big basin of the bad lands, also that the hostiles were scouting the whole range between the White and Cheyeune rivers thus placing the lives and property of all settlers between those streams in jeopardy, which means death and utter devastation if interfered with, This means for one thing no more beef for the would be friendlics or government employes on the reservation.

Parnell's Remarkable Sang-Froid in the Eventful Meeting in Room 16, FATEFUL CONFLICT OF FRIENDS AND FOES, Opinfon That in .he Event of Im- mediate Defeat He Will Yet Trample Down All Op- position. [Copyright. 169 by James Gordon Bennstt.\ Loxvoy, Fouse oF Coumoss, Dee. 1, Mid- night.—[New York Herald Cable-Special to Tuk Bee.|—While all the London papers were announcing Parnell's arrival at publin, on his way to Cork, he was quietly break- fasting at the Westminster Palace hotel, his Sunday having heen spent in the way I told you yesterday. He does not intend 1o eiv up anything, and thecefore is not afraid to visit the lady who has brought ail these woes upon the Irish par Fully twenty minutes before the hour appointed for the meeting today he was in the library here, cool and resolute and ready for the fray. He had a long day’'s work before him, as he probably knew, for the programme to be followed was that sketched in my Sunday’s dispateh, Time was to be gained by moving adjournment of the meeting as often as migut be necessary, but I can inform you on the best authority that Parnell never had a moment's doubt of the final result. He was well aware that all those who have long been ambitious to trip him up—all whom he uas offended, slighted and neglected—in other words, at least two-thirds of his party, meant to get him down now and make an end of him, but he was confident that this would Dbe the beginning, not the end, of the struggle, Room 15, overlooking the Thames, was the place ussigned by the sergeant- at-arms for the gathering, Parnell walked in with his usual nonchalent manner, and cast one rapid, keen, healthy glancs around. There they were, the men whom he had made or who had protested undying friendship, now readyto put anend to his political life, HRis faithful band, headed by Dick Power and Johun Redmond, kept near him, Somebody proposed that the meeting should begin by reading the telegrams from American delegates and other sources, but they were not all agaiust Parnell. As tho day woreon Ircland began to kuock at the door of Room 15, and her voice more than once cried out, “Do no harm to the man.” Ttwasin the afternoon that a message from the Dublin corporation was re- ceived sustaining Parnell, A flush passed overthe sallow countenance of the Irish leader as he read it, but he said not a word. His supporters shouted till they were hoarse. The meeting was thoroughly irsh from first to lust. The warmth, eloquence and excite ment, the wild outbursts of feeling some- times clicited cheers that could be heard across the river, We heard them below in the librares and even the house. The Irish party alone could have kept things going at this high state of tension hour after hour. Some times one or the other slipped out fora little refreshment. At 6 o'clock there was a gencral adjournment for an hour. T spoke to one of Parnell’s closest friends, who was looking worn and sad. ‘‘How are matters going!” T asked, “As Ttold you . they would,”” he replied. ““There is no change; they have all come here ‘with their minds made up. The speeches change no votes. It is just the same as 1t is down here. They are all tired out. He (Par- nell) has been badgered and hunted a good deal, but he bears it well.” In fact, 1 saw the leader himself shortly af- terwards and he looked as if he had just strolled in carelessly from the street. He so- cured a vietory after lunch by ordering the admission of the Freeman’s Journal to report the proceedings. This gave great aunoy- ance to the opposition, who were anxious to keep the proceedings sccret. They ave by no means confident of securing the approval of, the Irish people by some of their attacks on their leader., At one time in the early part of the day a large body of reporters had gath- ered outside the room, endeavoring to pick up @ few words here and there. Parnell heard of it and sent a message down to the sergeant-at-arms, who immediately gave orders to have the corridor cleared, There are shoals of reporters at every approach to the fateful chamber, The business of the house, though important, is almost neglected. Such excitement has not been seen since the rejection of the home rule bill in 1856, Healy opened the engagement with a power- ful address, declaring against Parnell for taking a course destructive to Treland’s hopes. Sexton thrilled the meeting with a similar har- angue, in which he did rull justice to Par- nell's services, but dwelt with emphasis upon the immediate shipwreck of the home home rule cause which would be the conse- quence of keeping him as leader. Sexton de- nounced the breach of faith shown in Par- nell's manifesto. He declared that if it went unrebuked, no English statesman or party would ever again put faith in Irishmen. “‘And a good thing, too,”” some one shouted, but Sexton concluded his speech under a tremendous outburst of chee was up all round, John Redmond d Sexton, He reminded the meeting what the Irish representative in parliament was like before Parnell's magic wand trans- ferred him, recalled the way in which one and acother had been led from obscurity to places in the commons, and declared that to depose Parnell was to shut out all hope of the Irish in parliament. This pro- voked cries of *‘No! No!" so vehem- ent and angry that it astonished some of Parnell's friends who did not know how deeply the passion of hate had sceretly eaten into the hearts of some who had appavently been Parnell's most docile followers., The leader himeelf burst into philipic against Sextou, He reproached him with his treachery. We have been your follow- ers,” Sexton replied; ‘“we were not your slaves.” The rebels demanded a4 vote and the Parnellits kept moving adjournments. Once the motion was at the adjournment should be to Dublin, ch motion was debatable at any length un- less the chairman had chosen to shut off dis. cussion and permit a voteto be taken. The chairman, being Parnell himself, naturally al- léwed the proceedings to take their course, Sometimes a telogram was brought in against bim und sometimes it was fayorable. The walls shook with the tumult which each mes- sage excited. Parnell holds that Gladstone's atiack upon /him in the letter to Morley released him from all obligations of secrecy as to anything thav had taken place bety 1 them. “He came out suddenly to destroy me,” ne said this eveniug to a friend, “and I had the right to use cvery weapon I could find to defend myself, aud 1 have uot yet told the worst. **He has defied Gladstone to challenge the trath of bis version of the new bill, and says that he will produce a memor- | Schaefer ran out the 500, leaving anda made at the time, Gl one deolin toacknowledge any farther communication from him. At 11:830 another motion for adjournment was pressed, This time It was till 12 o’clock tomorrow. This, after some demur from malcontents, was carrigd, I am assured the final vote will then be taken and that it will result in the defeat of Parnell by a consider- able majority. After that the battle-ground will be transferred to Ireland and the United States, Parnell willl mount guard in the house with about twenty-five men prepared to take any steps hecessary to sccure his ascendency. In the opinion of some of the oldest members of the house —an opinion sharé, I have reason to believe, by Balfour—ho will yet trample down all opposition and disperse his foes in all directions, Tt isa scrious loss to the rebels that they can not have Dillon and O'Brien among them for at least six months after their return, owltie to their sentence of imprisonment. Pdrnpll and his followers will score heavily during their enforced absence, ! Thus the greatest r¢7olution 1 Trish poli- ties advances. Some of Parnell's antagonists tell me tonight that but for his manifesto they would never havézone against him.

Loxnoy, Dec. 1.—A meeting of the Irish members of the house of commons to consider what action the party is to take in regard to the leadership was held® at noon. Parnell, who was the first to arrive, took the chair. ‘elegrams from the delegates in the United States and Archbishop Croke were read. An adjournment was taken for luncheon. Prior to the meeting Parncll heid a conference with his supporters, Joseph Nolan, Kenmy, John Redmond, William Redmond, Edward Harringtov, Power, Shiel and O'Kelly were present, The proceedings were of a stormy charac- ter.

Redmond replied to Sexton, He made a passionate appeal to the members to pause before they deposed from his rightful position as leader of the Irvish na- tion oue who, by his unparalleled cervices, had earned the gratitude of the Irish people. Redmond, continuing, said the fucts of the divorce case were fully known when Parnell w re-elected leader of the Irish part ssertion was greeted with cries of “No! No!

Tt was a question of dealing with a garrulous old gentleman who monopolized the conversa- tion and whom as everybody knows him it is difficult to get in word edgeways Be- fore you vote for my deposition be sure you are "getting value” for it.

Gladstone has replicd that he willhold no communication with me as leader of the Irish party.” McCarthy, iuterruptis Parnell -He knows y that the same propositions, were bplaced before Harcourt, replies that under no circumstances will he give any promise whatever,now or hereafter, to any Irish party.
