This un- ensiness has been occasioned by a variety of circumstances. The first is the dificulty the Indiaus experienced in agreeing upcn the question of turning over their arms, submitting to the segregation of the several tribes and the manner in which thoy are to =D Treated by the government. Now that they have comeat tho request of General Miles, many of the Rosebud Indians fear to leave this ageney leston their way to the former place they be set upon and killed by the sol- diers, Tn he council yesterday an unceromoniovs discussion took place in which the Rosebuds bolaly chargad that the Ogallalas had com- mitted as many crimes as they had them: solves, Bad fecling was also engendered by the statement of one chief that he intended to turn over all the Indiuns o the soldiers, As @ consequence of these actions the col- lection of arms has beeu anytbing but satis- factory. The nows of the murder of Few Tails and four of his band and the wounding of wife also tended to inflame tho India here, It was discussed m yesterday’s cou cil and 15 denounced by all fa tions, ey y every whito man around the agon, shooting universally condemned as & cold-blooded murder. This morning the Tndians vounded up their ponies, which have been grazing on the bank of White Clay creek, and herded thiem near their village, while the Indisns them- sclves hung around the tepees and in knots diseussed the question and silently watched the agency, Colonel’ Shafter and Acent Pierce last it broke up threo gambling dens and de- yed their furnitire, The commanders of the several camps, Gencral _Brooke, General Carr, Colonel Henry, Colonel Shafter, Colonel Offley, oloucl ~ Wheaton, Major Wells, Major Whitside @ Captain_Capron nt it council with General _ Miles, shortly after noon, after which the officers i uestion ropatred to their respective cam ing was neld to decide upon certain al movements, and at the samo time tho situation was considered and the condition of ench command discussed. The excitement of the morning, 1o a certamn extent, died away dnring thpgrsteinoon and following it camo Tywo Strake with about thirty Indians, who rned over to Awent Pierce abbut twenty ‘guns of various patterns, Among nem were small Henry rifles, which arepracticall Iess, both to Tndinns and w cartridges cannot now be pi Among the guns turned over were a numbe of this pattern, which the Indians have not been able to use for some time, As i eonsequence of the excitement of tho morning General Miles has ordered forage for twenty days longer. The order was issued to Dopartmental ~Quartermaster Humphrey and wis immediately complied with On Saturday last the laiter ofticer countermanded all orders for supplies at the instance of General Miles who had come to the conclusion that it was about time for the troops toreturn home. He has since changed his mind and now proposes to remain hero until_the Indians shall have recovered from the shock which they say the killing of Few Tails gavo them, On Saturday last Quartermaster Humph- rey had seven days' supplies on hand. These, with the amount ordered today, will tide the army over till about February 16, Licuten- ant Mallory, who has been activing chief missary of the department in the field, W¥ not ordered to increaso his stores, bo- cause his supply wus calculated to Jast until February b, The address to the soldiers by General Miles, aiready published in these” columns, \ h1as been received by the army who areno: ‘more than ever, willing to undergo the su foring and privations of a winter campaign, if such should be roquired. The band of Cheyennes which for several days has been located ncar the Drexel mi yion, hawving been stopped there by an order from Washington, leaves tomorrow on its march to Tongue river. It will beunder the direction of Uaptain Ewers. This move gives General Miles hope that he will ulti- mately bo permitted toseparate the host| and forward them to the agencies to which they belong. . Lieutenant Getty, commander of the Cheys enne scouts, lately under tho command ot the lamented Lieutenant Casey, has been or- dered to remain here unfil after the close of hostilities, Ho will ‘then roturn to Fort Keogh, where he will assume the duties of quartermaster of the Twenty-first infantry. He has recammended both Captain Lock- wood and Lieutenant Hodges to succeed him s commander of the now famous scouts, A number of complaiots duily reach camp criticising General Miles because he does not move upon and annihilate the Indians. The answer mado (o these from headquarters is that the forcein the fleld is composed of soldiors and not butchers, that even the com- mander is under orders and that those orders aro that the war must bo brought to a close without bloodshed. This afternoon one of the Indian policemen at the agency discovered the bodics of four dead Indians in o creek near Wounded Knee. One of them was a boy, two were girls and the fourth an old squaw. They were vie- tims of the battle of Decomber 20, This evening F. D. Lewis, special agent, arrived to take the place of Special Agent Coaper, Who has gone to Wisconsin, THEIR OPPORTUNITY.

What England Sceks in Her Difficulty with Portagal, Pa Jan. 19.—|Special Cablegram to Tue Br]—The Journil Desbates gives prominence this morning to an lnterview with a high Portuguese ofticial on the rell-l tlons between Portugal and Brgland. ™ n the course of this interview the official expressed himself as hopeful that an amicable under- standing viould be reached between the two countries upon all the points of dispute touching African possessions, which have caused so much irritation during the pastfew months, Such an understanding would, in his _opinion, have & most salu- tary effect on the domestic poli- rvis of Portugal, It would put au end to all talk of ai Iberian federation for defensive and offensive purposes, and would wake impossiblo tho double revolution in Spainand Portugol for which enthusiastic republicans huve thought the times were rap- lily riponing. and which was to end i & union of the two conntries, 8 @ powerful ortuguese republic, The advan- cruing to England by the proposed tanding would be of sufiicient import. , the Portuguese official thought, to jus- sify that country in refraining from further insistence on & complote settlement of the ob- noxious elaims, In on editrial _aricle commenting on this interview, thoTournal attaches much weight to the views there expressed and thinks they will probably be_verified by ve- sults, What England needs, tho Journal says, Is notso much a _greater extension of territory in Africa as fresh outlets for her ever increasing commercial enterprise. Lord Salisbury, it believes, will not insist on @ recoguition of British sovereignity over the territory in dispute, providea Portagal will remove tho restrictions on British com- merce In that region and will hereafter do wothing to impede the extansion thero of British trade relations. A Blue Book, Loxpoy, Jan, 19.—|Special Cablegram to Tue Bee.)- A blue book upon tho Anglo- Portugese dispute regarding territory in Africa has beenissued.

It is announced that Lord Salis- bury has entrasied the British minister to Portugal, Sir George Glyan Petrie, K. C. M. G., with power to arrange_for the settlement of all mattors in dispite between Portugal and England. Sir George Glynn Petric is now in _ Lisbon and itis understood that everything in con- nection with the African dispute so far as Great Britain is concern: is now in the hands of the gentleman mentioned. e —— KANSAS CITY’S SETBACK.

She entered tho school room and in no very mild language began abusing Miss Schmelka for not allowing their their children to occupy some cortain seat in_ the room and, becoming rather loud in her abuse, one of the larger boys of the school attempled to oject her, but the teacher would not allow the boy to doso. This so enraged the alveudy frenzied woman that she stampeded the school ana slupped the teacher first on one cheek and then on the other, twoor threc times. Upon being arrested and brought ve- fore Justice Homer, she declared that she ‘would uot be tried befere this justice, and he informed herthat she would ha to make out her aMidavits for a change.

It had beon supposed by Drs, Hare and Everett, the physicians who waited on him, that Sheedy had died from the effects of the blow received on his head, and they told the newspaper men and friends of the deceased that death was caused by a hemorrhage of one of the Dblovd vesscls at the base of the brain caused by the blows received, This the physicians evidently believed,. In the autopsy today o careful examination was first madeof tho prain. The physicians were astonished to find no evidences of a clot or rupture of any blood vessel whatever in any portion of tho brain.

After testifying McFarland was taken to the county jail. J. J. Stepnoy and Hurry Cowter had been arrested to appear as witnesses.

The mission, so far, has been in vain and it s believod will bo. It is known that the Rock [sland and Northwesternwould not have gone 1nto the assoclation originally, had they not been bound by the p eliminary agreement before Gould secured control of the Union Pacifie. It would have surprise to Chicago railroad men if both of these lines w W tomorrow, sal s of the officers have b ur- ranged s follows: Chairman Walker, §12,000 ayear, and Commissioners Midgely, Faithom Finley, Smith and Vining $10,000° each. Should any of them bo getting more than tliis avprosent the difference is to be made up by the lines now paying tho larger salaries. Thys, the interstate commerce railway asso- clation lines must make up an additional ex- pense of £13,000 for Chairman Walkel he western freight 2,000 for Mr. Midgeley and the southwestern rallway and steamship company £,000 for Mr. Faithorm.

Crsao Jan. 10.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre.]—The Railway Press bureau says: It has just developed thut the abrogation of divisions between the Hutchinson & South- ern and Rock Islnd is ono of the smoothest tricks, for a_small one, ever played by Gould. Tho Hutchwson & Southern built on money furnished by the Union Pa- cific at the solicitation of President Chrystic. The line runs south, into the Indisn Territory from Hutchinson, A spur of the Union Pa- cific runs to MePherson from Saline, botween McPhorson and Hutchinson, & _distance of twenty-seven miles, the lincs’ are connected by the Roclk Island. In other words, a Union Pacific branch is cut off entirely from the main line unless it makes a trackago contract with tho Rock [sland. This contract was madeout last Friday, It was abrogated b the Union Pacific. Apparently Gould has cut oft a valuable feader, but tho milk in the cocoannt is seen when it 18 learned that what is Gould’s Union Pacifle loss is Gould's Mis- gain, The Hutchivson & was times south of Hutchinson, and it might as well be in Patagonia as far as delivering truffic to the Union Pacific is concerned. A Cut to St. Louis. Cuoro, Jan. 10 —(Special Telegram to full connection with the crime he was asked | myp Bee,]—Representatives of the St. Louis how he had given such a complete desorip- tion of a_man who had never existed. McFarland then admitted that this descrip- tion was gotten up by Mrs, Sheedy and she uad gaken grout pains n tesching it tobim, Aflother suspicious circumstance is the al- leged fact that tho female domestic at Mr. Shoedy's home was sent away atnoonon the day of the murder, and was given perinis- sion to stay until midnight if she wished. The girl has been mnotilied to appear before the coroner’s jury. At present’ M. Sheedy is the central ob- Ject of interest. She bas lea an eventful career, although she isstill young. Although yet under_thirty she has been married threo times. Her first husband's name was Mc- Cool, and the fellow while she was living with' him was sentenced totho penitentiary, at Joliet, 111, for forgery. She then married a stonemason named Merrill, Shortly after- wards she came with Merrillto Lincoln, This was in 1886, A few months later Mer- rill left his wife here while he went back to Tlinois, and it is said_that it was during this absenco that sho became intimate with Sheedy, who afterwards secured hera di- vorce, and it Is reported, paid Merrill consid- erable money to stay away from Lincoln. Considerable comment has been caused by the fact that no money can be found belon;,- ing to Sheedy. There is not even a cent (0 his credit in any of the banks. Walstrom raises a great objection to his belng lockedup in a cell when he claims that he 1s dnnocent of any connec- tion with or knowleage of this crime. On his hand was found a_dlamond ring be- longing to Mrs. Sheedy. This was first iden- tifled by Detective Malone. Walstrom has told two different stories about the ring— first, that he got the ring in Buffalo, N. Y.; and Second, that a cy prian here in love with him let him wear it. Mrs, Sheedy has not been taken to jail and will not be, but will instead enjoy the hospi- tality of Marshal Melick’s home until her pre- liminary examiuation is held, Tue Bee.|—Judge Tuthil, in instructing the new grand jury today, had a few words to say regarding bankers of the class that have been causing so much suffering among poor depositors in Chicago of late. “Some of these bankers are no better than common rogues,” said the judge to the jury, “and it is s public duty you owe to investi- gate their methods of doing business," Then the judge quoted from the statutes of this state to show that bankers, knowing that thoy were insolvent and continuing to operate their business, should beswiftly pun- ished. The court iy the beginuing of his charge drew attention to the number or larceny cases tbat are on the docket and went on to say, “Thereis a variety of roguery, but the greatest rogue of all 1s he who, under thecloak of doing legitimate banking business, robs his depositors. He offers himself as a safe person to receive de- its of money from citizens and knows he s not such a person as he represents himsel( to be and, when such an one recelves the money he just as much deprives the people of their money as if he had stolen it. Such cases should receive your most serious atten- tion. You should take such action as will deter others from defrauding the people of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dol- You should look upon such violators of the law as though they had filched money from the pockets of depositors as if each depositor bad an offense committed against him, —— An Unpleasant Discovery.

LixcoLy, Neb, Jan. 19.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—“What ate they going to do?” is the question everybody is asking about the gubernatoriul contest which will begin at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning, The evidence taken before the notaries fills thou- sands of pages. To read it all will take weeks, enacting an eunormous expense, and perhaps defeating much legislation demanded by the alliance, If the testimony is mot all read, how will the hearing be shortened, aud who will determine what tes- timony shall be receiyed! If the hearing s limited, what will be the limiti These are the leading questions, and until & very late hour tonight no satistactory or reliable answer could begiven. 'The Inde- pendents are the attaching party, and tha opposition is waiting for them to show thei¥ hana, Two caucuses have been in session, and the notel lobbies have been full of men anxiously seeking information about the programme for the contest, ‘The vepublican- democratic conference had no definite news of the iime of action agreed upon in the camp of the enemy, and as the opposition poliey is a aefensive one the couference adjourned without deciding on its plans for the cam- paign. However, the matter was re- ferred to o committee of five, who are expected tolearn the plans of the independ- ents and before morning formulate a line of defe.se. The committee have gone nto ses- sion at midnight. Tn the independent caucus it was decided that a conclusion in the gubernatorial con- test snould be reached by uext Satur- day, if it were possiole to bring it about. It was agreed that each side shall have two days in which to introduce testimony and present its case. This will take until Fri- day, and on Saturday each side is to have threo hours to make an argument, pre- sumably by attorney. talk of limiting the aring days, but that proposition was ov tho interest of so-called fairness, also talk cf holding night sessions dui hearing.

They will insist that to gain a corrvect. measure of the flimsiness of the testimony it should be vread and the case should not be tried on 8 garbled and colo brief made up by paid attorneys.
