DaiLy BEE NUMBER 169, MILES GOING TO THE ERONT, The General Will Visit in Person the Scene of thnqludi«m Disturbance, MOUNTING REGIMENTS OF INFANTRY. The First and Seventh, Which Have Been Sent to Omaha to Await Orders, Will bo Turned Into Cavalry, Cricaao, Dee. Shortly before noon today General Miles, commanding the divi: fon of the Missouri, arvived from Washing- ton. A number of dispatches ataited him and he addressed himself to their considera tion to the exclusion of all callers, It is understood that the geweral will at once proceed to the scene of the disturbance among the Indians in the northwest, tfe has decided to mount the two infautry regitents which were sent to Omaha to await further orders—the First and Second—horses being got together for the purpose. An order was received from the war de- partment this afternoon authorizing the en- listment in the division of the Missouri of not to exceed two troops of Iudians for each of the cavalry regiments sorving therein and “*two companies of Indians for each of the in- fantry regiments serving in the vicinity of the Cheyenne and Stoux reservations, the whole not to exceed twenty troops and com* panies of sixty men each, in all 1,200 men.

The five or six hundred squaws with them are working day and night aigging rifle pits about the camp. This is something very unusual if not wholly unprecedented on the part of Indians prepaving for war, The rea- son for this move is, our scouts say, more to fnsure the protection of the immense quan- tities of stolen beef and provisions in the camp than tomsure a greater slaughter of soldiers, The moment that these supplies are captured by the military that moment the Indians must surrender unless their thirst for blood is so intense as to lead them to . fight until they are downed, cither by starva- tion or United ates bullets, At best, whether the military can capture the bulk of the hostiles' supplies or not, the Indians have undoubtedly secretad small quantities, sufii- cient in the aggregate to run them for at least eizht or ten wecks.

Wasuixarox, Dec. 8.—General Schofield reccived @ telegram this morning saying affairs were quiet and unchanged at Rosebud agency. This is the only information received n regard to the Indian situation, Orders were issued today for the First, Fifth and Soventh regiments of infantry to procecd at once o the scene of the threatenced outbreak. The First and Seventh regiments will pro- ceed first to Omaha and there await orders. Inspector General Heyl Talks. Chicaco, Dee. 8.—Colonel Heyl, inspector general of the division of the Missouri, re- turned today from a visit to the scene of the Indian troubles. In an interview he said he did not apprehend any sevious troublo, Tho troops are concentrated and seem to have tho situation porfectly in hand. -He asserts that the alarm among the settlers is due mainly to exaggerated newspaper reports, He was at Pine Ridge agency the lust few days and says the dances have nearly ceased. A few of the Ogaltala Sioux, particularly the youn g bucks, were anxious for trouble, but he thought they would be restrained by the old heads, Whe principal causeof the Indian trouble,” snid Inspector General Heyl, “is lack of propor provisions in the way of rations - prin- cipally meat rations. ‘The latter were re- duced 1,000,000 pounds for the Pine Ridge reservation alone, and the author ther have a practice of issuing a steerat the weight at which it was received. For in- stauce, the agent might @et a steer in the fall that would weigh 1,000 pounds. In the spring it would not welgh more than 600 pounds, but it would b issued as 1,000 pounds all’ the same. Of course the Indians would lose the difference. 'This is one great source of dis- atisfaction. The Indians generally, I think, are inclin ptany proposition made to them by the military autborities of @& peaceful nature,” but when 1 left there was a big snow storm and blizzard coming, which I think will cocl theardor of the young bucks. While 3 was there General Brooke enlisted ninety Bionx braves as Indian wolice and avmed them with Springfield rif They were made a guard for the Indian agent. The best evidonce that these Indians were all acting in good faith was that they all cut theiv hair off #hort. \When an Indian cuts off his scalp lock and has his hair cut short you may feel sure that he has effectually departed from warlike customs and severed his connection from the Indian habiis in this line. 1do not anticipate a winter campaien in the Indian country iu that sense of the word, but troops will be kept there as against auy trouble that might happen this winter or any attempt to g0 on the warpath in the spring.

They came in on the Union Pacific and were transferred here to the Fremont, Elk- horn & Missouri Valley road, requiring three trains for their transportation. Miles States His Plans, Cimicaao, Dee. 3, al Miles this even- ing said that it was his iutention tostart for the northwest in a few days, His visit will be for the purpose of thoroughly organizing matters and locating troops at all available and useful points. No startling advices were received from the scene of the threatened trouble today. From Pine Ridge a report came that a severe snow storm was raging and the temperature falling. This is expected to have a dampen- ing effect on the ardor of the hostile bucks. Gene Another Protest Anmvorn, 8, D, Dec. 3, —[Special Telegram to ik Ber]—As a result of the Indian e, petitions to the secret of war p testing against the abandonment of Fort Randall have been numerously circulated and signed througbout the surrounding country.

They Are Charged with Violating Rules of the Trotting Association. Cieaco, Deo. 8.--[Special Telegram to Tup Bee]—The board of appeals of the American Trotting association met in this city today, Eighty cases are pending for ad- Judication, The tirst protest considered was that against Benjamin C. Stanley and muel Hewey of the Minnesota association of trotting and pacing horse breeders.

The evidence showed, notwithstanding aftidavits by the defendants to the con- trary, that the rule had been vio- lated. Sccretary Steiner prosecuted the case. Mvr. Ijams, one of the members, stated that shoald the board establish a precedent by dis. missing the ¢ on the ground of ignorar the entirve fabric of the rules of the associ tion would be affected. The board will pass upon the case in the oxecutive session. The case against Havdenburg & Crockett, own of the black horse, Star Edsall, charged with entering him at Ellensburg and Shenandoah in races out of his class, was begun, Tho howse is said to bo overtwo years old and was entered in the two-ycar-old class. This case was continued for further evidence. - Argentine Republic Finances. Lospoy, Dec. 8.~The English delegates on the Argentine committee have arrived at a unanimous decision, which will be imparted to the governor of the Bank of England to- morvow. They oppose any advances to the Avgenting Republic involving prefer- entiul security over existing credit- ors; advise ~ the funding of the coupens of the national and external bouds of the republic for three years, during which time the greatest possible amount of inflated paper currency be withdrawn and burned. This will give breathing tine and prevent the stoppage of the payment of in- terest. The proposed new funded bonds will be secured by customs receipts, 'The com- mittee hus come to the conciusion thut if ex- change were only at par or even at a moder- ate lu-mumm, the Argentine government could be pronounced solvent.

Nationalist Members of the Commons Hold a Meeting But Adjourn Until Today—Rumors of a Compromise, Dunriy, Dec. 3.—At a meeting of the Catholic hierarchy at the residence of Arch- bishop Walsh today it was resolved to 1ssue a manifesto declaring that the archbishops and bishops of Ireland consider Parnell unfit to remain leader of the [vish party. The ob- jections to Parnell are based maiuly on moral grounds, but it is also the opinion of the bierarchy that his continuance in the leader ship would inevitably cause a disunion of the party. The manifesto issued by theC atholic heir- archy declares that their judgment is not given on political grounds, but solely on the revelation of the divor after which they ave unable to regard Parnéllin any other Tight thun as convicted of on vost violations of Christian confidence, “Fur- ther, we cannot avoid the conviction that a continuance of rnell's leadership will dis- organize and range in hostile camps thoso hitherto united with the forces of our coun- try, Confrouted with the prospect of a continuance so disastrous we see nothing but inevitable defeat, as the general offenses known to religion and society are aggravated in his case by almost even circumstance possible to give it scandalous prominence in guilt and shame.” “Surely Catholie Ireland,”” the manifesto continues, “i50 eminently conspicuous for the virtue and purity of its social life, will not accept as a leader a man wholly dishonored and unworthy of election, and as a resulthome rale will be indefinitely postponed, coercion perpetuated, the hands of the evictor strengthened and the evictees without the shadow of hope of being reinstated.”” SALISBURY’S OPINION, Ife Challenges Mr. Gladstone to Give the Public the Facts. LoxnoN, Dec. 8—[Speelal Cablegram to itz Ber.] —Lord 'y, in a speech at Waterfoot, Lancashire, this evening, smd that while he praised the moral outburst against Mr. Parnell, he regretted that the breachos of the sixth and eightn command- ments committed by the Irish people had hitherto peen allowed to pass with- out blame. Messrs Healy and Sexton, ter supporting their leader, had turned andrent him, The liberal le Lord Salisbury said, took no decided view regard- ing Parnell until they saw what effect the revelations had on_the religious portion of the community. He challenged Mr, Glad- stone to give the facts concerning the Hawar- deninterview, A crisis, he declared, was in- evitable sooncr or luter from the very nature of the alliance between the liberals and the home rulers, Such a vague, durk policy would be impossible in the futire. Clancy's € se Proposal, Loxpox, Dee, 8. s compromise pro- posal involves the temporary retirement of Parnell, subject to certaln conditions being exacted from Gladstene in connection with the proposed home rule scheme in the event of a liberal victory in the next general elec tion. Parncll s in the bost of spirits and ex- presses with: the greatestconfidence the view that the present movement will finally result favorable to nim. The feeling amoug his supnorters is that his position is materiatly strengthened today, especially by the assur- ances of support received from America and Ircland, The municipal authorities of Boyle, Cork and Drogheda, the plan of campaign tenants of Cuross and Mellin and the Boyle branch of the National league have passed resolutions against Parnell._ The municipal council of Ballina, the Newry nationalists, the poor law guardians of Ennis, the Cork Young Ireland society and the Lismore brunch of the National league voted in_favor of his remaining leader. Bishop Gilhooley of the diocese of Elphin and the clergy of his diocese favor Parnell's retirement, A Compromisc Agreed On. Doniry, Dee. 8.—|Special Cablegram to Tue Bre.]—The Freeman's Journal says: At today’s meeting of the nationalist members of the houseof commons in London to con- sider the advisability of retiring Parnell from the leadership of the party, a sugg tion or resolution or some form of amendment will be submitted which will preserve the umty of the party and set the home rule cause on a certain and satisfactory basis, ‘The London correspondent of the Journal says that at today's meeting Clancy, wi the approval of Parnell and his foilowe will propose a compromise for a settlem of the differences between the two factions of the party. Another Cablegram from the Envoys. Cicaco, Dec. .—After reading the test vote in the Parnell meeting in London last night William O'Brien for himself and col- leagues, who signed Sunday night's man festo, sent the following cablegram to the editor of United Ireland: *Stand by us un- loss our party decms it injudicious. Insist that the reproseutatives of the people shall not be bulldozed. They speak from a solemn conviction that Parnell's leadership means destruction,” Gill and Sullivan went to Dayton, O, day to address a meeting. to- Said What Ho Didn’t Mean. Loxboy, Dec. 8,—The News publishes a letter from President Evans of the Liv reform club, who says that Parnell conv: freely with him after the meoting at Hawarden, evidently much impressed with Gladstone’s cordiality and more still with the thoroughness of the liberal leader's proposals concerning Ireland, which Parnell said went further than vroposals from any great English statesman could be expected to go and meant the most satisfactory solution of the Irish problem. A Rumored Compromise. Loxpoy, Dec. 3.—Tho meeting of the nationalist members of the commons to fur- ther consider the question of the retention of Parnell in the leadershipof the Irish party reassembled at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The meeting adjonrned until noon tomorrow, It is probable that a compronise will be ef- fected, The proposed compromise involyes the temporary retivement of Parnell, subject to certain conditions being exacted in connee- tion with his promised home rule scheuio, Parnell and the Leadership. Loxpoy, Doe, 8.—Parnell has decided to state explicitly whether he will retive from the leadership, but has asked e day in which to consider Clancy’s proposal, which was cleverly designed in Parnell's interest, with the doublo abject of gaining thne and pitting the Sexton side further wrong in the event of the almost certain refusal of Gladstone to give the required pledge, Money and Sy mpathy, New Yok, Dee. 2.—The Irish county or- ganizations at & great mass meeting tonight subscribed §1,500 for the ralief of the famine sufferors in Ireland and_adopted a resolution endorsing Parnell and declaring that nothing less than the demands that e has upon the liberal leaders on their advent to power will satisfy the Trish people. Gill and sullivan at Dayton, Dayron, 0., Dee. 8.—The Irish envoys, arvived from Chicago to- night and wore escortod by aldasge procession to the opera house, where they addiessed a large audience of Irish-Amerteans, In the tommens, Loxnoy, Dec. 3,~In the commons today the Trish land purchase bill passed a second reading, Parnell and Wis followers votung with tho government. Thelr Progeamme Stll Uncertain, Citreaao, Dec, 8,—A rumor was eirculated late tonight that the Irish envoys were can- celling all engagemonts and proparing to re turn to Envope, M. B. Stone, who has heen their constant companion sined their arrival, said the report was incorrect and that, the future programme of the party is still a matter of uncertainty. He Would Rather Like to terteit Retreat, Loxnoy, New York Herald Cuble—Special to Bre.]-1n the house of commons today a ratier curious turn of affairs has taken place in connetion wih the Parnell erisis, One of his sunporters,( introduced an amendment pledging the party not to accept any scheme of home rule which did not give the Irish parliament control over the constabulary, judiciary and land. It was intimated that if this resolution was adopted Parmell would reconsider his posi- tion. The mecting having heard Clancy's statement adjourned without much further iscussion tili 12 o'clock tomorrow, Several members of the party give me to understand that in their opinion this will lead to work- ing a compromise. Purmell, thoy say, is be- coming more amenable, but his friends are far too well satisfied and confident to allow of the supposition that Le proposesto make any important change. In case the party passes Clancy’s resolutions, Par- nell will have got them all pledged hard and fast agalnst € stone's new scheme. That, at any rate means death to Gladstone's hopes. Parnell could then go to Ireland and declare that having defeated an indidious attempt on Trish nationality ana inteégrity he proposed to withdraw for life from the leadership. He well knows there would immediately spring up a cry that tho people gould not trust Sex- ton or Healy and that Purnell, who brought to light the treachery of tha liberals, must remain at the head of the party. Inthe face of such a cry as this no one could stand for twenty-four hours against him. Hp would have made a counterfelt retreat merely to render his would-be successors ridiculous and discredited. This is the trué meaning of the sudden break-up of the meeting today and the so-called compromise. Parnell will nev make concessions which would involve his permanent withdrawal in any settlement ar- rive at. He will see his way clear to event- ual victory. Those of his opponents here or elsewhere who take any other view are merely falling into a trap. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, M 5 o] NATIONAL FARMERS ALLIANCE Make a Resolution Introduccd Against Fed- eral Control of Blections. Ocars, Fla, Dee, 3.~The sensation of the moruing session of the farmiers’ alliance was when President Livingston of - the Georgia alliance aroso to a Question ot priviloge and denounced as infamously” false the insinua- tions in certain newspapérs nimed at Dr. Me- Cune and himself apd even gtPresident Polk in connection with thas Tecent, senatorial contest in Georgla, Ho ‘demanded the ap- pointment of a fair and impartial committee 1o thoroughly investigate the charges, Presi- dent Polk and Dr. M cCune also spoke, and it was decided that a committee of investiga- tion be appointed, to consist of one member for each state delegation, to make a thor- ough and searching investigation in accord- ance with the demand of the gentlemen con- cerned, At the afternoon sassion 'W. S. MeAllister of Mississippi introducel a preamble and re olution setting forth that the president of the United States in his annual message Yecom- mends and urges the immediate passage of the Lodge election bill; that said billinvolves a radical revolution in the election machinery of the union and that its passage would be fatal to the autonomy of the state and the cherished liberties of its tizens ; that said bill is partisan in spirit and will be partisan in application, thus revitalizing the gory ghost of scctional estrangement; that in the holy war the alliance has declared against sectionalism, the firesides of the farmers of the north, east, south and west arve citadels around which the heaviest battles are being fought and to the end that victory may crown the crusadeand fraternity and unity reign; therefore be it Resolved, by the Natlonal Farmers' Alllinco and Industrial Unlon of Ameriea In national convention assembled, ‘That we do most soleninly protestagainst the passage of said DLl and most earncstly petitlon our senators to employ all fairand iegal means to defeat this unpatriotic weasure, which can result in nothing butevilto our common and beloved country. MecAllister made a strong speech in favor of the resolution, Delegate Dewing of Pennsylvania said he regarded the introduction of the resolutions as untimely: that the farmers' alliance was a southern organization, saturated with south- ern sentiments, and that the passage of these resolutions would strengtheu their opinion and check the growth of the alliance in the north and east. A delegate from [1linois expressed the same sentiment. e feared that the adoption of the resolution would confizmthe charge that the farmers alliance is a_party body. “The alliance,” he said, *'is gotting ‘a grip in the west and in localties where republican senti- ment is strong. This action of the national order would tend to throw 1t iato political disrepute and stop its expansion over states of the west and northwest, Resolutions were also adopted denouncing the Louisiana jotte a blow at American civilization and morals and providing for the introduction in congress of a resolution eal- ling for the submission to the people of America of an amendment'to the national constitution prohibiting the operation of lot- teries in any state. 'The resolution was adopted unanimously. s A resolution will 'be offered tomorrow en- dorsing Senator Stanford’s bill for loaning money on lana at 2 per ceut interest, mort- gages to run for thirty yours, .

The Indian Troubles Canse a Lively De- bate in the Eenate. L0 BOTH DEFENDED AND CONDEMNED. The Elections Measure Comes Up and Turple Speaks in Opposition to It-The House Passes the Copyright Bill, WasmiNaron, Dee. 3, cussion took place fn the subject of a threatened Joint rasolution to the states ' of Dakota aund Nebraska, Mr. Voorhees charged that tho situation was due tothe fact that the Indians were being sta nd was replied to by Messrs, Dawos and Pierce, The debate was interrupted at 2 o'clock by the election bill coming up as unfinished business. In presenting a petition for an amendment to the tariff vill in relation to the rebate on manufactured tobacco Mr. Allison said the conferces on the part of both houses had agreed to the section, but it was omitted in the enrollment. He had no doubt the matter would receive early attention, Mr. Cullom introduced a bill to reduce let- ter postage to 1 cent. Mr. Hawley, from the committeo on mili- irs, reported and _asked to havo put upon passage & jomt resolution uauthorizing the secretary of war to issue arms and ammu- nition to the states of North aud South Dakota, Mr. Manderson moved to include the state of Nebrasid. M. Voorhees said that if the proposition were one to issue 100,00 rations of food to the starving Indians it would be more con sistent wiih Christian civilization, He r ferred to the statement of General Miles in a published interview that tne Indians were driven to revolt by starvation, and said it was a crime on the part of the government to stand by and do nothing but furnish arms to the whites. The Indians had been suffering for years in silence, There was blood-guiltiness somewhere in connection with it. The nostilit into which the Inpians in the northwest are being starved would result not merely in thelives of many Indians but the lives of a thousand American citizens and a hundred American soldiers being lost. That condition of things had been orought about by a niggardly, par- simonious or dishohest policy—he knew not which, A policy had been pursued to take the lands of the Indians and not topay enough for them to keep the Indians from starving when deposessed of their homes, Mr. Hawley svoke briefly, spying ho had no objection to the remarks of “the senator from Iudiana excopt that they were perhaps a little exaggerated. Mr. wes, chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, very much doubted if short- ness of food was the origin of the trouble or that a good supply of food would be a cure for it. The difficulty with the Indian service all along had been a constant change of pol- icy. Herctofore for years it had been irm- pressed upon congzress that the best way to treat the Indian was tostarve him into self- support. “Root hog or die,”" had been the phrase putover the door of those who ad- ministered the affaivs of tho Indians and the policy had been to cut down year by year the rations required by treaties aud give notice to the Indians that nest year they were only to have so much, the différence to be supplied Ly the labor of theww own' hands. He ‘thought it well to hold out every inducement to the Indians to turn from dependence on government rations and supply th support and that it was well to resort to all the devices within the limits of justice and reason to induce them to do it. As to the suggestion in the public press that the gov- ernment had failed to keep its promises made to the Indians by the Sioux commnis. sion, cte., he said the commission had made two sorts of stipulations with the Tndians, Oneof them was written out in plain lan- guage and enac ted into law by congress, and that stipulation the commission had taken out to the Indians and asked them to accept it. The Indians had just cause of complaint because of non-fulfillment of other agreemen and the commission told them it had vo thority as to those matters, but that it would useits influence with the government in this e. When the Indian representatives came to Washington with the commission a full di cussion was had ana an agreement embodied in a bill, which was submitted to congress by the president. The il thus framed to the complete satisfaction of the Indians passed the house, but where it was now he did not kuow. He knew, however, that the skirts of the executive and of the senate were clean of any attempt to depart_one iotu from the assurances given to the Indians by the com- mission. He (Dawes) saw the Indian troubles with a full appreciation of the danger and of the necessity of some present relief to bring around composure among the Indians and ex- tricate them from the lead of such bad In- dians as Sitting Bull and Red Cloud, who were the bane and the curse of the tribes. Mr. Voorhees repelled the feeble attempt atasneeron the part of Mr. Dawes and said the latter knew the situation just as well as he did, for General Miles had told the public that the Indians had been made hostile and preferred to die fighting than die of star tion. "These red men could enter the field with 6,000 fighting men well armed, and with the advantage of a knowledge of the country could fight 6,000 of the best American troops on terms of equality, He asked the senator from Massachusetts to state whether the fn- dians had enough to eat, whether Miles was right or wrong, and whether the Indians were being starved into belligerency, Mr. Dawes said the great difiiculty of deal- g with those 6,000 Indians who are rebellions is that they bave mothing to They are away from their tepees.

Mr. Pierce of North Dakota said he had sometimes wondeved that the white people in that region did not themselves go on the warpath because they were hungry, The Indians seemed to get mnoble as well as hungry, the further people got away from them. ~ He (Pierce) lived within a few miles of the Sioux reservation. He had been there forthe last two nionths and this was the first time he had heard it asserted that the In- dians were on the warpath because thoy were hungry. He saw Indiaus every day in the town where he lived and they were sleeker and better fed, apparently, than the senator rom Indiana, [Langhter.] He had no doubt but that in some of the agencies there are Indians who complain of insuficient food, but he questioned very much whether General Miles made the statemeot at- tributed to him in the newspapers, The trouble with the Indians is that they ave fed and clothed and allowed to live on the bounty of the government, and the **devil finds wis- chief still for idle hands to do. Mr. Voorhees said he would take the state- ment of General Miles far sooner than that of the senator who lived near the reservation and who with his people wanted to get the Indian lands as soon as possible, One was a relinble officer, the other was the fox, lying around the pen where the geese were, wait- ing to get some of them. ‘The discussion had not closed when, at 3 o'clock, the vice president laid before the sonate us unfiuished busivess the elections bill, Mr. Turpletook the floor in opposition The substitute measure, he said, vested for its support on what was called the suppressed colored republican vote in the south, In the course of remarks he said that in the northern states, where all this outery was made, the colored men had_nomore chance of preferment than & Roman Catholic had in New Hampshire 100 years ago, The suppression of the colored Vote in tho south was the thing manifestly in question— afirmed on one side and deniéd on the other.
