England's Action toward France will Cause New Foundland to Tear 1 : Down her Flag. lbe Hostile Indians Capture .3,000 Head of Cattle A General Pight . ' - to be Expected. The Old Fifth Avenue Theatre Burned in New York with a Loss of Half a Million Dollars. Manuel Garcia, the Havana Brigand ,.s, . Chief Escapes from the Troops. ON THE EVE OF RATTLE. General A pprehenalon Outbreak, of an Indian Pixk Ridge Aokxcv, S. D. Jan. 1 The . Upper Brules are now in open rebellion. After two months of unrest and uncer tainty Ihe Sioux have finally shown their hand. r Three thousand of them, nnder the leadership of such cunning fellows as Big Rod, Kicking Bear, Little Wound, Short Bull and Jack Red Cloud, and even old Red Cloud himself, have . turned upon the government. Ameri can Horse is now the only remaining loyal chief, but . hia .following is small and it would make no difference whether he counseled war or peace. Squads of Indians have been leaving' for the war- path to-day. Under cloak of the heavy . snow storm, which has been raging ' since sarlv morning, thev started off . north, but their : destination is not ' known; ' It is thought, however, that " they will make for the Bad Lands or vicinity of the old Spotted Tail reser vation. Troops have been ordered to in tercept .them. Depredations have al ,. '' ready begun on ranches. Scores of houses along White river have been burned and - cattle run off and killed. A scout came in late Tuesday night from the vicinity of ite river, near the mouth of Hay creek, and reported that three cattle men left their ranches after they heard of the engagement between Forsythe's troops and Big Foot's band, and they have not returned yet. It is feared they have been killed. The hostiles sent word to friendly Indians that all spies would be . killed. It . is reported that . John Dyer, chief herder of the govern-1 . ment cattle, had to leave the govern ment herd, which consists of about 3,000 head of cattle, and look out for his life. The herd has been seized and appro . ' priated by : Indians. r Two teamsters, ' ., who are supposed to live in Rushville, - were found dead in the road ten miles from the agency.' " ' General Brooke has ordered 100,000 rounds of ammunition' from Omaha. The panic in railroad towns in the vicinity of Pine Ridge agency is inde scribable. Settlers are pouring into vil lages on foot, in wagons, and on horse . back. Many of them have abandoned their stock and household goods, while others have brought - cattle and ponies with them. Some refugees who traveled . through the blizzard yesterday ' were badly frozen, and'many women and chil .dren are ill from exposure. At Chadron, jUany, Rushville, Oelrichs, Buffalo Gap :ad Valentine the panic amounts to a tsxnpede. At Rushville guards are on day and night. . Refugees and citizens Shane made for the school houses, armed men patrol the streets at night and ' sentinels have been posted along the road leading to Pine Ridge. The danger - of Chadron, which is the biggest town in Nebraska, west of Fremont, has caused .the citizens to organize themselves for f he defense of " the town. The savages burned the Catholic mission near Chadron early ' yesterday. " General Brooke will send a company of soldiers to guard the town as soon as reinforce ments reach him. General utiles, at the bead of the Sixth Cavalry, left Chadron for Pine Ridge at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. . Companies of the Eighth and Ninth cavalry at Rosebud ageney have also been ordered to Rushville. It has been snowing furiously oil 1 day, . and tine temperature is rapidly growing eolder. One battalion of the Seventh cavalry 'left for the west yesterday morning to prevent the Indians retreating on old trails south- of the Black Hills. "One troop also acted as an escort to General Miles, who came back with them from Chadron. ' . , - Couriers are in from General Carr's ' ' command saying he . is coming from White" river, and was within - fifteen miles of here last night, - A scout who 4ne in Tuesday night said that Colonel Sumner and Captain Wells are west of him, forming a line to the north of the Indians. . This, with the troops from the Seventh, should confine them to the reservation. All was quiet here during the night, bat rumors are out that the . Indians would make an attack before Vf,-morning. By 4 o'eloek it was raining hard, and by noon yesterday a genuine , blizzard obscured everything 300- feet away,' 'yesterday the burial of thirty dead took plaee at the Episcopal cemr - tery, just east of eamp. , Tuesday night "Standing Soldier" brought in a party of seventy -two Indians, whom his In ' diaa soldiers had captured on Medicine creek, fifty miles east of ' here. - The party, which included . only nineteen well-armed bunks, submitted to being 'disarmed at the agent's office without a murmur. The camps of Two Strike an4 the rest of the fugitives were plundered Tuesday by friendlies who remained. - Qae bodies of Big Foot's band lie nn tnried where they fell. Three companies of the -First infantry from an Francisco have already arrived .nd six more are expected tonight to re place the Second. . A scout turn in this morning and re- -ported the main body of hostiles had moved back twelve miles from the iBgeney and towards the Bad Lands on Jie north. ' . j ' Another arrived this afternoon and re ported the reds indulgedpn a wild war dance, only eight miles from here. '. A party of - Indians scouts to-day visited the scene of Monday's battle and found nine Indians who were wounded in the fight still alive. Two of them had been taken, to a log hut near by and were being cared for by squaws that had remained behind. The other seven were found lying in the gullies. LATEST FROM: THE HOSTILE CAMP. Ked Cloud and Little Wound Want to Surrender. Washington,- Jan., 3,-rGeneral Sco field this morning received the following telegram from General Miles. Dated Pine Ridge, Jan.2. "There is a report from the Iodian camp that Red Cloud and Little Wound are determined to come in with their followers. Their lives have been threatened by the hostiles, who are determined to go to war. There is also a report from the same source of an engagement between the Indians and cavalry, in which a number of Sol diers were killid and some Indians shot. If this is correct it is probably on the line of White river. General Brooke now has command of that line and will give all necessary directions. General Schofield said to a reporter after this telegram was given out that nothing additional had been received up to the present time "I still have hopes that we shall yet be able fo get the Indians into camp withont a fight. The forces now in the field under com mand of General Miles are about 8,000 officers and men." SENATOR FAKWKLL'8 DENIAL. Say he Did not Make Anything Out of ' the Silver Fool. Chicago, Jan. 1. The recently pub lished story regarding the alleged silver pool mentioned the name of Senator Farwell in connection with it. In an interview to-dav Farwell said he never bought a dollar's worth of silver pre vious to the silver legislation last summer. While he was told others who werfe en deavorine to make ' someting out of the anticipated fluctuation in price, he steered clear of it. He knew, of course the price would go up, and when some friends in London cabled for their views he ansyrered to the best of his knowledge. He received no profit directly or indi rectly through the speculations of friends, Regarding the silver pool, he said he had been informed a pool did ex ist, but this did not come to him until long after silver legislation; There was not a hint expressed concerning the pool while the matter was before cong ress. The senator denied flatly he was in anv way concerned in the Bateman failures, or that he speculated in silver. QUAKER AND JAP. A Philadelphia Girl Harries the Man of Her Choice. . Philadelphia, Penn., Jan. I. Miss Maria Elkinton, the accomplished daughter of Joseph S. Elkinton, a promi nent member of the Society of Friends, and Inazo Zsitobe, a young Japanese, were married this morning at the Friends' meeting house, Fourth and Arch streets. - Every effort had preV' iously been made by Miss Elkinton's relatives and friends to prevent the con summation of the union. Argument and persuasion, however, were alike unsuccessful in making the young lady swerve from the man of her choice, who had, out of regard for her, become a member of the Society of Friends. Mr. Nitobe is about 30 years of age. and is of high rank in his native coun try. For six years he has been travel ing through Europe and America, study ing to fit himself to occupy an important government office. Mr. and Mrs. Nitobe will leave in a few days for San Fran cisco en route to Japan. , NEW "SPIRIT LEVELS." An Ingenious Device to Circumvent the Prohibition Laws. . St. Paul, Jan. 1. An ingenious Minneapolis man has invented and placed on sale what he calls a "spirit level" and with it proposes to knock out prohibition in Iowa . and the Dakotas. The "level" consists : of a small box, the ends of which are sealed, but a gentle punch breaks the paper and there is ravealed on one end - a round hole tliat will receive a lead pencil and on the other end, when broken, appears a cork. The thirsty purchaser who pulls gently on this brings to view a long vial fillet! with brandy or old rye or anything that may be desired, provided the assortment of "spirit levels" in stock is large enough. Holes in the side admit to view an air bubble, which verily makes the affair a spirit level, albeit not a very accurate one. . Saloons are doing a land office business in levels. FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE BURNED. Loss of Half a Million Dollars-No Lives Lost Xew York, Jan. 3. A fire last night broke out in the Fifth avenue theatre about fifteen minutes after the perform ance closed, destroying property to the value of about half a million dollars. A careful estimate of the loss by fire last night places the total loss at $567,000. Insurance more than half the value. Prof. Herman says the fire started in the "snpes" room of the Fifth avenge ' . theatre. Herman's theatre found not to be badly damaged after all. The greatest Joss is by water, and will not exceed $250,000, - A rumor was started that some lives were lost, but a careful investigation failed to confirm it. It was not till after six o'clock that the fire was under control. . San Franclaco's Export for 1800. Sax Francisco, Jan. 3. The wheat exports during the year 1890 aggregated 13,014,000 centals valued at $17,278,000. Increase over 1889 of 900,000 centals and in valne of $T3o,000. No Chance In that Iadtea Situation. Chicago, Jan. 3. Adjutant General Corbin received a message from General Miles written last night, in which he stated there was no change in the Indian situation. THEY UNDERSTAND BLAINE. Comment of the London Papers on the Position Blaine Asame. Loxdox, Jan. 5. The Pall Mall Ga zette says : "Case for arbitration 111 the Behring sea dispute is so clear and Lord Salisbury's offer so ample and the feeling that America fovors arbitration is so general and strong it seems neces sary to look. for Blaine's motives for his warlike attitude elsewhere than in the merits of the ' case. It is clear that Blaine speaks not for the nation, -but for his nartv. That he means io bluff and plays to the anti-English galley." Comments of the St. James Gazette The St. James Gazette says: "There is no reason for anticipating a rupture as Blaine's political party is at low water mark and he resorts to the old devices of "twisting the British lions tail." MAY APPEAL TO THE V. S, Great Indignation in New Foundland the Action of England. at Halifax, N. S. Jan. 3. Advices from New Foundland indicate great excite ment and indignation over England's renewal of the Modus Vivendi with France. This action is received as blowjto the liberty of the people. Crowds assembled and condemned in strongest terms this act of the home government Some have suggested that the English flag be pulled down and an appeal be made to the United States for protection Emma Abbott Dying- from Pneumonia. Salt Lake, Jan. 3. Emma Abbott, the prima donna, is dying in this city She came here to fill a four nights' en gagement, and despite the advice of her physicians went on the first night. The next day she was taken alarniingly ill with pneumonia, and has been failing rapidly since. Physicians say to-night she cannot live. She is totally uncon scious and the end is not far off. Emma Abbott Dead. Sax Frax Cisco, Dal., Jan. 5. Private advices received here state that Emma Abbott died at Salt Lake City this morning. ' THE BEHRING SEA TROUBLE. The London Papers Relieve their Minds in Regard to Blaine's Action. . Loxdox, Jan. 6. The St. James Gaztlt, to-day says it accepts as official the de nial in regard to the Behring sea troubles adding, however, but why is the U. S. navy being massed in Pacific waters, unless it is to make Behring sea a war clause. The Pall Mall Gazette says ; "Blaine obviously means to try more bounce for the sake of making political capital. We are convinced, however, that Ameri cans will not support him. It is imper ative to arbitrate matters in dispute." The Globe says it attributes the fric tion to "Blaine's bragging spread eagle- ism," and it is ot the opinion that in view of possible, though unlikely Ameri cans displaying force in the Behring sea, Great Britian ought instantly to strengthen her Pacific squadrons. The Globe also advocates the sentiment of all matters in dispute by means of arbitra tion. THE ALLIANCE WINS. In the Legislature of Nebraska the Alliance has a Majority. Lincoln; Neb. San. 6. The legisla ture was organized at noon to-day. The alliance having a clean majority, elected the temporary officers without any trouble. S. M. Elder the temporary speaker of the house, is without educa tion or experience and a turbulent session is expected. . Hat the Thanemore Gone to the Bottom Baltimore, Jan. 3. Dr. Laville, local government inspector - of cattle here, says that the carcasses of cattle which were found on the coast of England to-day, bearing the U. S. inspection plates upon their horns were a part of the cargo of the steamship Nessmore. which left Baltimore December 10, bound for London, and already reported arrived out. The steamship Thanemore left Baltimore November 26 for England with several hundred cattle aboard. Nothing has been heard of her since then. Railroad Accident at Spokane Falls. Spokane Ealls Jan. 6.

IN FRIGHTFUL PERIL General Miles Thinks the Greatest Battle of Indian History s at Hand and May be Fought Today. The Situation at Pine Ridge Agency Proves to be Yery Alarming, but the Troops are Prepared. THE INDIAN WAR. Strong Probabilities of a Great Battle Soon. Omaha, Jan. b. the Jiees corres pondent at Pine Ridge telegraphed that all is one long continued round of excite ment here and an attack from the Indians is momentarily expected. As to the situation here, considered in its entirety, indications are that the greatest battle in Indian history is almost at hand. The appearance of every scout adds new and strong support to these indica tions that were only emphasized bv the bloody affair on Wounded Knee. General Miles believes exactly this and has said some strong words: "With out desiring to make the situation a particle darker than it really is, for God knows the truth is bad enough, every thing constrains me to say that the dan ger in which tire Pine Kidge agencies and the white populace stand at this point and must remain until the crisis is allover,is one of most fearful peril that can well be imagined, and I say this not for a moment forgetting and knowing perfectly just what military protection we have here." Since Gen. Miles arrived he has re ceived the most urgent admonition from the administration to avoid further bloodshed. Further bloodshed cannot be avoided. Col. Forsythe has Been Relieved. Washington, Jan. 5. The report of the' relief of Col. Forsythe of the com mand of the seventh cavalry by General Miles is confirmed at the war depart ment to-day. The Fight is On. Omaha, Jan. 5. A special from Rush ville says : "Heavy cannonading is go ing on north of there this morning but i news of the battle is not yet received The Omaha guards who volunteered their services have been ordered to hold themselves ready to move to the front. May Cause More Trouble- Orders telegraphed from " military headquarters to Captain Woods of the 15th cavalry to disarm Indians in the Cheyenne and Araphoe country created the greatest anxiety among settlers of Oklahoma and on the borders of Texas. The Indians are peacable enough and the taking away of their arms will it is feared have the effect of raising a spirit of resistance which is now dormant. General Miles Killed. Chicago, HI., Jan. 5. A special dis patch from bt. Paul to the morning papers here says a telegram has been received in that city which reports that General Miles has been killed in a battle with the Indians Captain Higgins, act ing as assistant adjutant-general, in charge of army headquarters in this city has heard no news regarding the killing of General Miles. He. does not credit the report. , A dispatch from Gordon, reb., re ceived this morning says the report is current there that General Miles was killed but the report is unfounded. Not Credited at Washington. Washington. Jan. 5. Nothing has been received at the War department about the rumor that General Miles was killed by Indians and the report is dis credited. The Battle Is Dlsasterous. Omaha, Jan. 5. A disastrous battle is reported to be in progress within three miles of Pine Ridge. Nothing definitely learned. ONE SHARP FIGHT. Indians Attack a-Government Train. A Fight Ensues. St. Louis, Jan. 6. A special from the camp near Wounded Knee creek, S. D., gives the particulars of another en gagement which took place at the point yesterday morning. A detachment of thirty men were sent out from the camp to meet a wagon train with supplies for the camp, and when ten miles out the wagons were found beseiged-by a band of 100 Indians. On seeing the troops approaching the redskins scattered but immediately returned to attack on find ing the small number of men in the detachment. A fight ensiled resulting in wounding one soldier and killing and wounding several Indians. The exact number has not been ascertained as the redskins carried their dying and wounded away. EYIDENTLY NOT DEAD. General Miles Telegraphs to Washington that There Must be a Change. Washington, Jan. 6. It is stated that the interior and war department officials to-day received a telegram from General Miles urging the prompt ap proval of his recommendation that the Indian agents at the South Dakota agencies be superseded by army officers and stating that the situation demands the changes be made at once. HE WILL NOT HAVE IT. General Noble Opposes Turning the In dians Over to the War Department. Washington, Jan. 6. A cabinet meet ing to-day considered the Indian ques tion, especially with reference to General Miles' proposition to relieve the Indian agents of the charge of the agencies near the scenes of the present trouble, and replace them with officers of the army. Secretary Noble is known to be earnestly opposed to such a plan, and its accom plishment is therefore a matter of doubt. An open river to the sea means six to eight cents a bushel more for wheat to every farmer in fcastern Oregon, i.asl iregontan. A POLITICAL FARMER. The Hon. T. T. Geer airs his views on the Oregon farmer, in the New Year edition of the Oregonian, to the great edification of T. T. Geer, and the be- littlement of the Oregon farmer. He growls at the farmer for growling, and then anathematizes growlers on general principals. The trouble with the Hon. T. T. Geer is that his head has swelled on him and his hat pinches. He feels big all over. If he could get a new hat made over the rotunda of the capitol at Wash ington, a pair of shoes with the San Francisco dry dock for lasts, and a pair of pants made to fit the forks of the Santiam, he might find room for himself, In the remarkable article of which he has lieen delivered, among other things he says: "With his natural and ac quired advantages, the future Oregon fanner, will be a man whose indepen dence and intelligence will not be out ranked by men of any profession what ever. Indeed, we get glimpses of him now, in the more progressive farmer of the present." It will be readily seen that the Hon. T. T. Geer has not a very high opinion of the farmer in general, but pausing long enough in his tirade against the farmer, to indulge between sentences in a little introspection, he catches a glimpse of an intelligent farmer, who is far in advance of his times, knows all about running the government, has the tariff on one end of his tongue and the Bible on the other, knows the past, is daddy to the present and grandfather of the future, and withal is a living image of the Hon. T. T. Geer. This exponent of egotism rattles off the prices our farmers obtain, "Wheat Co cents a bushel ; hogs 5 cents a -pound, gross ; potatoes 75 cents a bushel," and so on to the end of the chapter.' The gentleman finds his prices in Portland, not where the products leave the farmers hands. Here wheat is 50 cents a bushel potatoes 50 cents a bushel and hogs from 34 to 4 cents. Quite a difference, but Mr. Geer's article would not sound so well, nor the sentences fill out with that sonorous rotundity, so dear and so har- monious to such writers as Mr. Geer, who can set down and in terse English, albeit garbled facts, prove to the satis faction of themselves, at least, that the American farmer is the happiest and most blessed of men. That he is rolling in wealth, or ought to be ; living a life of luxurious ease, and seeping the deep and dreamless sleep of childhood, un- haunted by visions of debt and mortgage. of interest, taxes and the sheriff; of drouth, fogs, storms, the devil, T. T.Geer or any other unavoidable calamity. The picture is well painted, but is not true to nature. . Notwithstanding the state ments of Mr. Geer, the farmers are the hardest worked and poorest paid, con sidering the money invested, of any class of people in America. And in the face of Mr. Geer's assertions, we state with out a particle of fear of contradiction by facts, that the farmers of the Inland Empire are charged heavier transporta tion rates, than those of any other sec tion of America. We assert that the farmer's products are rated by the rail roads not for what would bring a fair re turn to them, but for what they will standi and not drive the farmer from his land. The farmers of Eastern Oregon are not that indefinite article known as mossbacks, never have been, and never will be mossbacks, for the simple reason that it is not among the possi bilities. hen the railroad company collects its freight bills, the farmer has to hustle too lively . to allow the moss to grow on him. In this respect he is rolling stone, and work as he may,- he gets no fatter financially, than the hen who wears the feathers and flesh off her breast, hatching ra brood of chickens for the pot. Mr. Geer looks to the future for "intelligent farmers," but we can assure him that those of the present day are intelligent enough to understand that Mr. Geers success as a farmer, is due to the fact that his principal crop is F 1 . 1 .

The New Year edition of the Oreg onian grows on one. it can t be skim med because before you know it you have struck something that interests and then astonishes you. Yon find for instance, that 10,000 men are engaged in manufacturing industries, enough al most to account for all enumerated in the recent census, and yet you have always thought Portland was pre-eminently a mercantile as distinguished from a manufacturing city. You find her manufactures for the year are valued at $27,000,000, an" increase of $6,625,622 over 1889. You find that Portland has the largest flouring mill on the coast with a capacity of 1000 barrels a day You find that she made in 1890, $800,- 000 worth of lumber more than in 1889, $500,000 more cured meats; $675,000 more furniture, and so on to the end of the chapter. More than all, you find yourself lost in following the maze of figures, which indicate the growth of the city, and you involuntarily remark, truly great is Portland, and equally great tne Dig paper that has aided so materially in building her up. The Washington Star says, a new silver dollar is to be created by the pan- American monetary conference which meets at Washington soon. It will cir culate throughout all the republics of the new world, and will resemble the United States silver dollar, with a por trait of Columbus in place of the Goddess of Liberty. ' It is high time the weary old damsel be taken off the dollar. For lo these many years she has backed the legend 4'In God we trust" until trusts have become so numerous that she is forced oufr of business. Besides the likeness of Columbus is peculiarly ajprq priaie on the good old silver, dojlar, since like him, its last days have been spent ip chains. The silver legislation of the past twenty years has been of THEY MAY SURRENDER. Five of the Leading Indian Chiefs Come in for a Consultation with Gen eral Miles. Indian Chiefs Come in for Consultation. Washington, Jan. 6. Gen. Schofield has received the following telegram from Gen. Miles, dated Pine Ridge, S. D., Jan. 5th : "In answer to a communi cation 1 sent to the hostile camp yester day, saying five men could come in and learn what I expected them to do, the following came in : Big Road, He Dog, Little Hawk, Jack Red Cloud and Big Hawk. The prospects at present are favorable that the whole camp will sur render, but I do not wish to anticipate. There are no changes in the condition of troops." Chicago Wheat Market. Chicago, 111.
