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.

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

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

trouble. S. M. Elder the temporary
speaker of the house, is without educa
tion or experience and a turbulent
session is expected. .

plates upon their horns were a part of
the cargo of the steamship Nessmore.
which left Baltimore December 10,

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.

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

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

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

PORTLAND AND THE OREGONIAN.
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
