Nobody slept at Mammoth last

Within an incredible shoit linn

the victims, mangled by the terri

watcher pushed forward to the

mothers stood still in fear that their
loved ones were among the dead.
Tears couised down bronzed and
bearded cheeks and were dashed

The rescuing parly proceeded with

Fifty collins arrived from Pitts

justified Judge Stearns in refusing

be very light on the Sound and
there are more bolts than are

brought back for repairs which will
probably not be completed for sev

will be need for a Seaside boat and
if the water is too low at Ilwaco for

Their Money Loaning Scheme.
Omaha, Feb., Jan. 28. The na
tional farmers alliance bad a lively
discussion at to-day's session on
the amendment to the constitution
to exclude women from acting as
delegates, and it was finally voted
dowu.
The amendment making all la
boring men eligible to membership
was tabled by a large vote.
At the afternoon session the re
port of the committee on resolu
tions was adopted. The rerort
declares in favor of holding a con
vention on February 22, 1892, to
fix the date and place for holding
a convention to nominate candi

dent of the United States.
In this preliminary convention
the representation is to be one
delegate from each state in the
union.
The resolution favors the aboli
tion of all - national banks, and
that the surplus funds be loaned
to individuals upon land security
at a low rate of interest ; declares
for the Australian ballot law ; de
mands the foreclosure of mortgages
held by the government on rail
roads, and "favors the electien"of
president and vice president and
U. S. senators by a popular vote ;
that the alliance shall take a part
as partisans in the political strag
gle, as aflilliating with the repub
licans or - democrats; that the
inter state lav should be so
amended and enforced as to allow
railroads a reasonable income on
money invested. The resolution
further demands that the morU
gages on the Union and Central
Pacific railroads be foreclosed at
once a id the roads betaken charge
of by the government and run in
the interest of the people with a
view to extending both lines to the
eastern seaboard. The free and
unlimited coinage of silver is fav
ored, and that the volume of cur
rency be increased to $50 per
capita. A demand is made that

this morning as to the final dispo
sition to be made of the Indians
at Fori .-heridan, General Miles
said :
That is a matter to be de'er-

Sitting Bull and other chiefs are
killed, and I have most all other
Indians left without leaders, there
is no danger of a further outbreak

brought to Chicago are a crowd of
outlaws. Three hundred Indians
were arrested and sent to Fort
Sully. All others are now under
control of military authority and
back on tneir reservations or on
their way there.
