MEMBERS OF THE HARVE8TER
TRUST FALL OUT.
The Prsposed Tract Goes to Pieces There
Wilt Be an Increased Production and
Loot Prices for the Benefit of the
Farmer,
Chicago, Jan. 10. The harvesting i
trust has gone to pieces, and before very '
long the American Harvester company j
will be a thing of the past. It was only I
a couple of months since it was brought j
into existence with a capital of S3.',000,-
000. Things went swimmingly for a '
while and arrangements were ia .prog-1
ress for dispensing with thousands of i
traveling men and other employes and ,
of centralizing the business. This
week the representatives of the '
firms in tho combine came together at
the Auditorium hotel, when it was de- '
veloped that the majority of tho direc
tors had mapped out a line of policy by
which prices to the fanners ware to bo
materially raised and the supply houses
consolidated. There was a vigorous re
moustrnaco to thi3 course on the part of .
the McCormicks, theDeeriiigs. the Whit-
man-Barnes concern" and the Ohio house j
of Warder, Bushncll fc Glesr.cr, and
after a stormy meeting of several hours
duration they withdrew. This morning
thev served notice of their withdrawal
from tho company. It is given out that
a war to the knifo between the dilTereut
concerns is now inevitable. There will be
increased production and low prices, and
the farmer will get tho benefit.
PROGRESS OF BILLS.
What Northwestern Congressmen Are
Doing for Their Ciuistlluencv.
W.viiim.tov. Jan. 10. The delega
tions from the northwestern states in the
present congress have been unusually
successful in pas-ing bills of local bene
fit to their several states. Hills of local
interest to Minnesota, tlie Dakotas, Mon
tana and Wisconsin were pretty well .
i cleared up at the last session. There
still remain on the calendars of both
i houses several bills of local importance.
j however, which stand a fair show of
passage between now and March 4.
A important bill to the newly ad- (
milted states is a measure providing for
the commutation of timber culture en
tries after four years' residence and the
payment of Sl.tT. per acre for tho land or
for making final proof after eight years
of residence without tho payment of this
amount. There are alo several amend
ments added to this bill which are of
minor importance. The bill is now in
conference committee and awaits the ac
tion of that body. The bill providing for
supplying seed grain to districts which
have suffered from drouth in the past
vear north of the 47th parallel Is still
pending in committee and will prob- '
ably be reported within a short time. A
measure of importance to Minnesota and .
South Dakota Is that ratifying the treaty J
between the Wahpeton and Sisseton In- j
dians for the sale of their reservation.
As is well known, this bill has been .
hanging fire since last winter, and those
woo have It in charge aro making stren-
nous efforts to get it reported from the
hou-e committee on Indian affairs. It
passed the senate last session. The In
dians on this reservation are suffering
for want of food and clothing,
and the ratification of this treaty
and the payment of the appro
priations involved would be sufficient
to satisfy their wants. The bill has a
fair chance of passaso this session.
The next bill of importance to North
and South Dakota and Montana is that
affording irrigation and providing for
segregating the arid and sub-arid lands
and the turning over o different states
public land for irrigation purposes. Sev
eral different schemes were presented to
congress last session and money was ap
propriated for surveys, but nothing defi
nite has vet been accomplished in this
direction. The members from
the
states interested are going to make an
other, and it is hoped an effective effort
thi session to pass a bill providing for
the irrigation of these lands and the
measure bere mentioned seems most
likely to be reported favorably from the
committees and passed. There are -sev-
schools and land officii,, the new states.
It is not probable that the measures ap-
propriatins monevs for Indian schools
will become laws at this session. The
Indian war in South Dakota is likely to
prove an effective barrier in preventing

ase. The evidence was all in on Thurs-
daynichtand Fridav was devoted to
-ounsels' pleading to jury. iue pleas or
JudceCarland and Attorney Winston,
for the defense, were simply superb.
Not a point was overlooked, and during
their pleas it could be seen that
the jury was affected. During Attorney
Winsor's plea there was many a hand
kerchief used, by both audience and
jurv. D. R. Bailey, state's attorney, In
dosing for the state, tried very hard to
stem the tide which was flowing in the,
interest of the defendant, but it wa
love's labor lost." The case went to
the jury at 4 o'clock and before 5 they
returned with a verdict of acquittal.
Last cvenine Mr. Manuix was congratu
lated on all sides. The verdict was very
popular among this community. Mr.
Manniv was asked by your correspondent
whether he would commence action
asainst the Western Union company for
daraaces. and he replied that he was not
prepared to say, but the prevailing opin
ion is that he. will.

TIGHTENING THE CORDON.
Orders Issurd the;Aruiy to Close In on the
Indians from All Sides.
Pine Ridge Agency, S. D.. Jan. 10.
Thursday afternoon all the commands in
the field were ordered to march from
three to six miles nearer the hostiles.
Late Wednesday night the order wa- put
into effect. It of course attracted th
attention of the Indians. At the inter
vals of two or throe days the cordons
will be drawn more tizhMy around the
i hostiles until thv asrfe either to romf
in peaceably or L whipped into -ubmi-
sion. "

That they are now awaiting the oppor

is believed he wilt co'rariiiiHfrato

could thn be attacked from all sides.
There are now fewer than a thousand
soldiers within a mile of headquarters.
Before those stationed in the field could
reach here great damage could be done.
Gn. Miles, as if impressed with
this fact, extended tho breastworks
around the school, which will command
a larger extent of the friendlies' camp.
He a-G received word from Gen. Brooke

S1AKVATION 8TUR1KS DENIED.

Washington. Jan. 10. John II. King,
railroad commissioner, of South Dakota,
and ex-State Senator F. M. Goodykoontz,
of Chamberlain, are in tlie city on legal
business. Both arc well informed as to
tho condition of things on the Sioux res
ervation, ami are emphatic in their dec
larations that there is no foundation
whatever for the reports that the In
dians are half starved or suffering In any
other way through the neglect of tho
government.
Mr. King ha-j been identified with the
reseivation for ten years past, and at
tended the pow-wows held by the com
missioners sent out in 1SS2, 1S33 and
1SS9. He has personally seen the rations
issued to the Sioux, and in a talk with a
reporter of the Pout said:
"The Sioux Indians are the best fed
peoplo on the earth. They consume
more meat per capita than the city of
Washington or any manufacturing city
in the United States. They were fed
for four years without any treaty obli
gations whatever, after the treaty of
1S0S had run out, and before the Black
Hills wero purchased. Then we moro
than doubled their rations, and for
twelve solid years after 1STG we have
given them the equal of a pound and a
half of beef every day for every man,
woman and child and papoose on the
Sioux reservation. When an Indiaa
dies they refuse to disclose tho fact, and
(iraw 1 atieiM far him. until tlui Ilnitmt.
States discovers it, and in this manner
the. government issued over 4,000 extra
rations for four years prior to last year,
and I believe we aro now issuing over
2.0G0 extra rations to those In
dians that are dead. As soon as a pa
poose is born it is put on the ration rolls,
and draws a pound and a half of raw.
meat every day. Many infants dte, but
if the agency physician does not know
it the agent does not. -They go right
along drawing rations.
"Beef, coffee, flour and bacon are
issued once or twice a week enough lo
make the poor settlers in Nebraska and
Dakota look green-eyed withcnvy. We
have -given these Sioux an average of
nearly SI. 750,000 every year for twenty
years.
Just think of nine pounds of fresh,
meat be-.ide.s flour and other things to a
lamily of six every day. and then believe
the .-lories ajHJiit.starviiig if you will.
ft r rwentv- three years, tid within
tlie last two years, the government' lias
undertaken, to. lessen the ' jioiind-' a'nd'a
half to a pound and! a quarter of. -l)ef
dailj. and ij; gcves'.the howl "of '."starva
tion" Wl.y McsYyour soul, we Jiaie this
year h-.! ghtN"i).0Ja) worth of oee.f 'from
the Sioux Indian's .themselves "1.710",000
pounds of their own raising. . and then
enero:-iy turned around and gave it'all
back jo thern in rations. We 'have (hn
the same with wheat' and oafs." We hire
many of the-m. and board amfclothothem
he-ides."
They have oyer 15.000 dogs oh the
Sioux re-ei vatlon that the government
feeds, keep- alive", andlf they get a little
liungrv they can arid do kil! a few dogs
and have :f fe.i-t. They have large herds
of cattle, and some families of Indians
i that the goxernment has fed and clothed
aiwas aie in-uay worm .-:.iiuu.
The gove'riitnent in the past has made
ihr e mi-takes with the Indians, all of
v.hh h the present secretary of the inter
ior i- trying to correct.
1. They have done and are doing too
much of this fending and clothing busi
ness. :.'. They -hou'ld not be allowed arms.
Nearly ery Indian has a Winchester,
but he never hunts. There is practically
no game.
3. The government should have day
-ehool- on the reservation and educate
tin Indians at homo instead of sending
them to Carlisle and other boarding
-chools. Let the little fellows go home
every night-and tell their parents what
thev have learnrd during the day. and if
the patent- lefuse to -end their children
to -chool, let the penalty be no rations.
"The Indians can be civilized. No
military is needed. The story that the
Indian-are starving is ab-olutely false.
No matter how high the authority nor
from whence it comes, it is not true.
The present war is a- misunderstanding
and the result of a religious craze. The
Indians do not want to light, but thev
are compelled, and it may not be possi
ble now to avoid it. Neither the mili
tary nor the eastern philanthropi-t
should have the management of the
sioux, but plain, practical business men
in the west, who believe that the Indian
can " civilized and educated that he
hs- rights but not that because he is
an Indian he should be allowed to live In
idleness and ignorance all his life and be
supported by the government forever.
Disarm and educate the Indian at home,
put him on lands in severalty, protect
him in hi property, and the Indian prob
lem 5 solved.

Bayart,
Wasbihstox, Jan. 6. Special:
seven senators were present at 10 o'clock
when the senate was called to order. After
a laps of three-quarters of an boar a
Quorum appeared. A communication trot
the secretary of. the treasury asking for all
appropriation of 150.000 for the repair of
the government bulldltg at Chicago, was
laid before the senate and referred. Th
moraine business having been concluded,
the senate resumed the consideration of
the fuanclal bill, which consumed the time
of the balance of the session.
WasbkoxoNi Jan. . The bill repealing
the law authorizing the president to sus
pend the totanage does was passed. Mr,
Farqubat move that the boose go Into com
mittee of the whole for the eonslderatioB
of the shipping bill. Mr. Springer more
as an amendment that the committee con
sider the options bill. Rejected. 101 to 93.
Mr. Farquhar's motion was agreed to, 11?
to 03. The measure was discussed at
length, after which the house adjourned.
Washington, Jan. 9. The conference re
port on the public printing deficiency bill
was agreed to. The financlul bill was taken
up and Senator Daniel spoke In favor of
free coinage. Upon a motion to go lato ex
ecutlve session Senator Edmunds, In a tone
of bitter sarcasm; said: "Tho senate is
drawing to an end and this moat important
and Immaculate bill ought to be got into
the form of a law at the earliest possible
moment. The country, of course, 1- suffer
lng for It. Disaster and bankruptcy are
laid to be Impending, and therefore we
ought not to leave a stone unturned to get
an Immediate vote upon it." After exeeu
tive session the senate adjourned.
Washington. Jan. 7. After tho senaae
bill Increasing from fifty to seventy the
number of army officers who may be de
tailed to the military colleges was passed
the house went Into committee of the whole
on the shipping bill. Mr. Herbert, of Ala
bama. ODDOsed the measures because it
proposed an Indiscriminate subsidy
to vessels of every character
In the foreign trade. It was the natural
result of the McKlnley bill. Mr. Dockery,
retorting, said he wanted to take the fact
home to the farmers of the west that
15,000,000 was being taken from the treas
ury to sustain and support a few New Eng
land ship owners. George Gould, he under
Stood, was one of the "laboring men" to be
benefited. Mr. Dockery then invited at
tention to the restrictive scope of reciproc
ity, as advocated by Secretary Blaine. 8o
far as the farmer was concerned, the de
fect that was fatal to a subsidy was alike
fatal to reciprocity. The farmer couPJ de
rive no benefit from reciprocity because the
South American countries had almost every
article necessary for tiielr own consump
tion. Let wjc country retorn to that pro
pitious policy under which it explored
every sea and cast an anchor In every har
bor. Divested of artificial restrictions, our
commercial marine could renew and assert
Its importance upon the deep. Pendiag
further debate the commute rose and the
house adjourned.

ing hour in the senate a number of public

journment Wednesday. The bouse bill ap
propriating 100,000 for a public building at
Davenport was parsed. Seuater Turpi ad
dressed the senate in support of Senator
Stewart's amendment for free coinage. H
was followed br Senator Call and the bill
was then laid aside. The vote on the Daven
port building bill was on motion of Senator
Vest reconsidered, amended and again
passed. After executive session the senate
adjourned.

authorizing the Issue of certificates of serv
ice to the telegrapb operators who were
with the union urrny during the war. . Ia
the committee of the whole, Mr. Fithlau, at
