Major IiiRea , in reporting hia recent
fight with the hostile Indiana , eaya :
"My talk with the hostsles on tlio Slat
of Dccembar leu iiu 1o believe them
sincere , but they , through the chief
cf the Grofta , cent nio yesterday a
very impertinent message , that they
would uot move , nnd would fight me.
I moved against thosn to-day , sur
rounded their camp , shelled thetn ,
and comppllcd them to nurroiider ,
ailed and wounded ts-o , and did not
oae a man. I have now at the
agency about 500 hostiles , about 300
lorses and forty guns. They threat
ened to fight , but on the appearance
of my men showed none. They do-
aeried their villages , and I burned up
about sixty of their lodges , which
will hurt them badiy. I will atart at
daylight after the hostiles , who have
; oue to the Yankton csiuji , Iwclve
miles distant. The Yanktons , with
sixty of their principal men , assisted
me to-day. They have asked me to
; ivw them some of the ponies which I
laptured. I will moveupion the
3rowa to-morrow. These people are
in great distress for want of tnod and

them. The thermometer is 20 ° belo r

VTASiHNaroft , January 6 1 a. m.
Mrs. Chmtiancy , in further con-
rersation yesterday on the subject tJf
tier alleged published letters , said
that when she spoke oT the published
letters to the Washington reporter
Tuesday she had not read them , nor
did she do so until Tuesday afternoon.
She wished to say that not one of
thcso published letters was written by
tier. They were base , malicious for-
jerlea , and evidently were gotten
up to play thc'r psrt In this case.
Mrs. Meloy , who he's been her con
stant companion eince her return to
Wa-mlngtcn , states that the published
tatters are not the letters written
by Mrs. Ohristiancy to Giro. Mrs-
Chrgtiancyreferriii ! | ; to the talkaboat
her , said : "Let them trlk , but they
should think of Chriitlimcy , too. If
itwas wrong fet too , as I know it
was , to write letters to Giro , is it not
onR ( or Mr. Christiansy to be mak
ing love to a Chllifn wo nan ? " Mr.
Delgardo , who recently arrived ,
speaks In anything but compliment
tary terms of Mr. Chrisuancy's do
ings in South America , and Btatfs
that his life Is one course of carousal ;
that a Spanish-Chilian women of
wealth came to the legation frr pro
tection , and h there yet , and it is
generally understood that Mr. Chris

engaged to her , and it is therefore
important for his suit to he brought
to a successful close on his behalf.
SENATE.
Sjccltl Dispatch to Tax OKI.
WASHINGTON , January 5. The cha'r '
laid before the senate a letter from
Gen. G.irfield , informing the senate
that he has , by a letter cUted Decem
ber 23,1880 , directed to the governor
of Ohio , declined to accept the office
of senator , to which ho has been
elected by the legislature of that state.
A large number of executive com
munications , the accumulation of the
recesi , were laid before the senate Im
mediately afisr the reading of the
journal. Among them was a deferred
report on the removal of the Ponca
Indians , on which Mr. Dawes gave
notice that ho would make a speech
when the report shall have been
printed.
The chair also laid before the senate
a memorial from the republican cen
tral club , of New York , asking the
passage of the Sherman refunding bill.
A very large number of petitions
and memorials were presented by the
different senators , and referred.
Mr. Whyte introduced a joint reso
lution for the purchase of the sword
belonging to George Washington. Re
ferred to the committee on the Yorktown -
town centennial.
On motion of Mr. Butler the reso
lution was adopted calling on the sec
retary of the interior for a copy of the
report of the superintendent of census
relating to alleged frauds in the
enumeration of the inhabitants of
South Carolina , under the tenth cen
sus.
sus.Tho usual morning business having
been disposed of , Mr. Whyte asked
the senate to suspend the Anthony
role and consider in the morning half
hour certain district railroad bill * .
This was antagonized by Mr. Voor-
hees , who sought present considera
tion of the bill for the relief of Ben
Holiday. The morning hour was con
sumed in the contest
The senate finally took up the bill
for the relief of Halldsy , by a vote of
34 to 20. This bill , which haa been
before congress for nine years , pro
poses to pay the claimant 5530,749 on
account of his contract for carrying
malls , and for losses tustained by
having carried mail on a different
route from the one specified in his
contract , and m satisfaction for prop
erty taken and used by United States
troops during hostilities with the In
dians. The bill and an elaborate re
port on the claim was read by the
clerk.
clerk.Mr.
Mr. Kernan offered a substitute for
the bill authorizing Haliday to prose
cute his claim before the court of
cUims , with the right to appeal by
either side to the supreme court of
the United States. Mr. Kcrnau
stated that he offered the amendment
because he could not , on the report
as here presented , vote for the bill.
He proceeded to read from the testi
mony to chow that he evidence was
too IOOBO and imperfect to warrant
the action by congress in appropriat
ing any definita sum in the settlement
of this claim.
Mr. Hoar said the claimant had no
original authority to go to the court of
claims , and came to congress , where
he had bsen kept for years through no
fault of his. It would be a gross outrage -
rage to discard him , now that his wit
nesses whom he could have called ,
were either dead or scattered , no one
knows where.
At 3:30 : o'clock the egaate on mo
tion of Mr. Harris , went into execu
tive cession , and whoa the doors were
reopened , adjourned.

A military coimmaaionor Of high
rank , who has been making investi
gations in Ireland , has forwarded
to the government a full report of his
observations and opinions , of which
hb following lA d s'ynopsi.S !
First No actual , organized rising is
lared at present. A determined leader
light have Incited a rising , but the
irecautloaary measures of dispatch-
ng extra forces throughout the coun-
ry , wllickhavo befiii adopted , greatly
esseucd the probability of such an
courronco.
Second There Is no occasion to
ear that the presence of forces will
ggravate the disorders occurring
ail ? .
Third If her majesty's govern
ment at once takes measures for the
epressionof lawlessness , a peaceful
elution of the present dfEcultiosand {
, cessation of the outrages and' dis-
urbances may be looked for with
onSdenco. People well acquainted

tate that a rising Was neve ; Intended ,

Messrs. Lyons , Kelly , and Power , on
, he chnrgj of sedition. The prison-
T3 were regularly admitted to bail.
NO FAVOKS FKOM THE COUHTS.
In all the decisions thus far made ,
t is evident that the courts' pur
pose is to uphold the government , and
hnt the land leaguers have no f.irurs
; o expect. All meetings of the mag-
istratoshave been antagonistic to the
boycotterj , and so far a the courts
are concerned , the so-called obuox-
; ous Individuals throughout the coun
ty will receive protection. The
courts' inquiries were mainly directed
as to the object of boycotting. The
state trials came to a sudden termin
ation yesterday afternoon , and the
taavemers were remanded , bail being
refused.

tinnes , although there is no indication

attack may reasonably be expected.
WILL FIOIIT IT OUT.
A Constantinople dispatch says :
Turkey Is energetically preparingfor
war with Greece. The porte is under
stood to adhere to iho intimation con
tained in the note of October 3 , con
cerning the frontier between Turkey
and Greece , while Greece claims the
fulfillment of the decision of the Ber
lin congress. The diplomatic scare of
last summer , so feeble and futile , has
had the effect of nerving the porte.
Judging from present indlcationa Tur
key and Greece will fight out the old
controversy to the end.
BICYCLISTS COM ISO.
The Sportsman yesterday says :
"Wo understand that a party of Eng
lish bicyclists will start for New York

do so.
