WASHINGTON , Jan. 20. [ Special Tele-
Cimn.l H is very piobable that the people
AV ho settled on the Crowd eck and Wlnnc-
bago Indian reservation In Dakota between
February"and April 17 last , under flio
provisions of a pioclamaiion Issued by Presi
dent Vitliur , thiowing Hie icservntlon open
lo settlement , and who were compelled lo
move off of the f-etllemcnts they nTade by n
proclamation Issued on the latter date by
I'ecsldent Cleveland , revoking the former
] > toclamatlon , will be paid for the looses they
htistalned. Kver since the icvooatlqn of
J'icsldrnt Ailliur'.spioclamatlon , the sulfei-
rrs from It have hron appealing lo the picsl-
ilpnt and Interior depaitment for
lellef. They say they' nimlo entries
on the reservation In good fuilh ,
having a pci feet right to do so under the lift
proclamation , and that two mouths after
ward , when they had just got settled in tiieir
new homes they wcie forcibly driven away ,
whueby they lost all they expended for their
buildings , fences , etc. , and llio sacrllicc.s they
made in leaving their old homes , slncu it was
by deception 01 the pait of the government
and an order over which they had no con
trol. That they sustained their losses , thej1
vpry naturally concluded thu government
would K.niliir.-e : them.
To-day in the senate Mr. Harrison 10-
npondea to the appeals of these disappointed
settlers , and proposed an amendment to his
bill on ( ho subject of the division of Dakota
and the admission to statehood of the south

proper relief. The amendment provides that
for ninety days after thu passage of this act
these settlers may re-enter upon their claims
mid complete tlio same as required by law ,
nnd their claims shall for sucli a time have a
preference over later entries ; and when they
.shall In oilier respects have complied with
the law regulating such entries , especially
homesleadei.s , shall bo en Titled to liave .such
lands , and patents therefor shall be issued.
The money paid for pre-emption and
town site entiles shall bo such ns aio
jequiicd by law in other ca es , and shall
be paid into a geneial fund. The president
shall appoint n special agontnndpr the direc
tion of the fcccictaiy of the Interior who shall
as soon as piaclicablo make Inquiry and ic-
poit to tliosecictary ol the Interior upon the
claims for losses of pcrnoiis who in good
faith , between rVbrnaiy 27 and April 17,1SS3 ,
.settled upon any ol the landiin the Ciow
deck and Winnebago reservation. The
agent shall have power to cause witnesses to
come befoio him at some point convenient to
the reservation , and to administer oaths. He
shall lepoit the Impiovemcnts made by such
poisons , the value of the bamo , the
losses bifclnlned by reason of the
revocation of the executive older
opening these lands to settlement , giving the
particulars of any such losses and all other
facts connected therewith , and. in case the
consent of the Indians Is not obtained then
inquiry and repoit shall be made OH to all per
sons who made claims upon that pait of the
reservation which is not included in the now
reservation. Thu Dakota statehood bill es
tablishes the report of the special agent shall

Ciiio.voo , 111. , Jan. 20. [ Special Tele-
giam. ] A dailiiR robbery Hint would do
cicdlt to Iliu. Jes"e James pang occtnied on
the west side last night. Four men cntcicd
the jewchy store of Severn Bios , nt 775
Wcf-t Mndlson street. One of them asked
to see some watch charm1' . Henry Severn ,
who Is a young man about 23 years of ago ,
was alone In the stoiont the time , nnd in
response to the request placed n tray full of
chaims of nil descriptions befoio him.
Another ot the four asked lo see rings. As
bGAcrn piocccdcd to icach Into the case for
the tray of rings the Hist man
moved behind the counter between
two show cases , and , as the proprietor
attempted to tuin about to icscnt the Intru
sion ho was caught by the neck. A man In
fiont suddenly placed a revolver in close
proximity to his nose and a quiet but em
phatic command was given to icmaln per
fectly quiet and say not a word , unless ho
wished to give up his life with his jewels.
Tlio jeweler , taken completely by surprise ,
was unable to make a move to defend him
self. Tlio youngest man in the paity can led
a laigc bag on his arm and in a few moments
hcand his disengaged companion slipped be
hind the .show cases and completely
emptied them of watches , rings
and other valuables. Mr. Bcvcin
says ltdid not seem more than a minute and
ahalf befoitt the cases wcro cleaned out. Not
withstanding their haste , the men took noth
ing but tlie moil valuable , thus showing tliey
were no ordinary sneak-thieves and their
movements indicated that they had studied
up the ca = e in advance. When the booty was
seemed , the thief who still held tlie propri
etor by the linear , loosed his hold , nnd mov
ing mound in front , produced a revolver and
covered the victim while the other three de
parted. Severn and his enforced vis-a-vis re
mained in this position tluee or four min
utes , when tlio last robber , cau
tioning the "joiing man to re
main where ho was for at least
live minutes , followed his companions. Sev
ern's confusion and astonishment canned him
involuntarily to a obey the injunction. As
soon as ho iccovered himself lie lan and gave
the alarm. A patrol was called , but by the
time the officers arrived no trace of the rob
bers could bo found. Tlie value of the pro
perty taken Is placed at 51,500. Severn is not
sure lie can Identify any of the lobbers. as his
attention was principally taken up by the
grip on his throat and tlie muzzle of the re
volver.

Those who weio not in the Pullmans make
bitter complaints of their sufferings and

THE RIOTING COKE WORKERS ,
A Battle Between the Policemen nnfl Strik *
ing Hungarians One of the Dis
turbing Element Killed ,
PiTTinvno , Jan. 26. A dispatch from
Mount Pleasant to-nlglft says ! Sheiilt Stew
art and forty deputiesTiUd Detective Brophy
and twenty armed polijc from I'ltlsburg , Imd
a dcspernto conflict tli afternoon with 850
strikers , who Imd attacked the men at the
Alice works in the inornlng. The liotcis
rested for dinner. Then they nms&ed at tlio
Mutual works , near Slonervlllc. At tills
point a negro , without provocation , Hied at
the Hungarians with n shot gun , but failed
to hit any of them. They surrounded his
house , dragged him out , beat him fearfully
and left him for dead , with Ids skull frac
tured. Ilo will probably die.
At ! 5 o'clock tlio stilkcifl passed up tovvaid
Morcwood , nourishing every manner ot
weapon from revolvers to case scrapeis.
They were headed by Stephen Stamlx , main
agitator of tlie strike. When they reached
shaft A , Morewood mines , they cnconntcied
sixty-two deputy sheriffs and policemen
drawn up for battle. Detective Biophy talked
to tlie foreigners , telling them li was useless
to lesist , and that ho would arrest the ring
leaders. Brophy aircsled one striker , which
opened the ball. The combat was hand-to-
hand , but the otltccrs won , ruresting thhtccn
men and one woman , who were sent to jail
at Greenville. The balance retreated. Over
n handled shots weie fired and several Hun
garians injuicd. How many Is not known ,
as tliey weio can led away by companion" .
Only one oflleer was slightly hint. The
authorities , it is stated , telegraphed to Vltts-
burg lor nioreolHcors. The strike is only in-
nuguiated and moio bloodshed is feared.
This strike Is undoubtedly tlio most dan-
pprous in the history of the coke countiy.
The opcialors have an entirely different class
of men to deal with , as Hungarians when
drunk aie nnmanagabloau'imore like ( lends
than men. infoimcr strikes this element
was not In the field , and tlio operators had
more Intelligent men todcal with. A feeling
of Insecurity prevails mid citizens near the
various threatened districts me aiming them
selves and otherwise pieparlng to defend
their homes as best they may.
A dispatch at midnight says it is thought
oiio Hungarian was killed in the flight with
the police this afteinoon. A special train
left Giceiibburg this evening with the
prisoners guaidcd by policemen. A
riot is also reported to have occurred
at the Donnelly and Diamond works , about
tlneo miles east of Mount Pleasant , in which
live Hungarians and three Americans were
Injured. Tlio condition of allaiis at mid
night is good. A special train lias just ar-
ihcd nt Slandaul , with a police loice , which
will bo used tonight to aucst some men
chaiged With assault.
STONKVIM.K , I'a. , Jam 20. The situation
assumed an alarming phase In the coke re
gions tills moining. Three bundled strikers ,
armed witli bais , coke-forks and revolvcis ,
stalled on a inaicli. Theydiovo the men
from woik nt the Alice , and chaiged the
waidcnsof the coko. yard at a place a mile
southwest of here. A boy named Menrcr
was tpiribly beaten , and a yard boss ham
mered. Every oven front was crushed In.
The greatest tioubla Is yet to come. Satur
day will bu pay-day , and on Monday ten days
will have explied since the notice to quit had
been given to tlie strikers in the company
houses. Tlicio will likely be serious trouble
when ejectment Is attempted. The report
that the governor has Ijccn called on for aid
is untiuc. Tlie sherifftwill not send until ho
linds himself nnnbie.toi cope with the dis
turbed element. ( > ' *
The ClKarmakcr's Strike.
Nnw Youic , Jan. 20 , Nine thousand
cigarmakers and other employes ot the
trade , employed by the Cigar Manufacturer's
association , me idle to-day. Tlio diicct
cause of the trouble is the refusal of Levy
Brothers to declaio their strike against tiic
now uniform price lists off and return to
woik. Tlie employes have banded them
selves together to resist this demand. By to
morrow the packers in all tlie shops will have
to join tlie strikers. The strike extends to
the cigar box making trade. AV'hen the pack
ers milt woik tlie n umber on strike will have
.swelled to 10,000.
The cigar niamifactmeis this afternoon
issued a statement to tlio public. Tlie state-
made by the men are declined to be mislead
ing and nntiiie. They , tlio strikers , quoted
several cities as paying higher prices than
offered by tills association , leads the state
ment , but they have failed to say anything
about many other places wlieio prices
lor labor arc Infinitely lower than the prices
otlciedby this association. The association

Kcsolved , That llio secretary of tlio lic.is-

ing Information that tin' wotk of vrld con
tract would bo pel for mod by convict labor ,
nnd conseiiuently the contractors who em
ployed fico labor could not nll'oid to compete
for the woik.
In offering Urn resolution , Mr. llalp said
ho hail not been ptep.ucd to bellcvo without
further Information thaltlio seer clary of thu
treasury would let any conduct lor work to
bo done on public buildings In Mich way that
the work would bo done by coinlct labor.
Ho ( Mr. llalu ) had iccelved Infoiinatton of
such ohaiactor as iiiado It desirable to ascer
tain the tacts sol forth In his resolution , ilo
did not believe a I'outtact for public work
should bo lot toemployers ol convict labor
when there was no luck of oidlnaiy lubor
iti the country , Ilu did not believe that tieo
labor should be put on competition with con
vict labor.
The i csolulton was asroeil to.
Mr. Mon 111 mldtr soil the senate on the
silver question. He promised with the re-
niaik that the elaborate speech of the senator
from Kentucky ( Heck ) seemed to throw the
buiden of thu lejoinder on the friends of the
administration. I do notmean , hecontlnued ,
tooncmacli upon the privileges which so
many democratic sonatois appear so eager to
enjoy ol rushing to the rescue of the president
and the secretary of the tieasuiy , against
whom the cruel jtack Is made , upon the
caullnal mcasutd of tha iulmlnlstiatlon , us
1 know the Into ol those who ventuie to in-
teileiovlth family quanels. Hut this
measure , tlnough which silver might bo main
tained on si par with gold , Is so worthy of all
deception that I fear it will not have , after
the heat of demonstiatlon , an acknovvledued
leader of his party In the slate against It , or
thai unanimous support to which it may be
laiily entitled. In the first place , let me say
thoicnro no pnitics , so larasl know , In the
senate or out ot it , that propose or iiavo any
wish to demonetl/e it , lor to chaigeothcivvlsu
Is a baseless assumption and unwoithy of the
aicna of ttur debate. Kverybody Is willing
nay anxious to keep ns much of silver as
can be done and keep it at the same time at
par with our gold coinage. Tlio only hostility
arises fioiu what seems to bo a mixed and
passionate puipose on the pait ol some of
its advocates to promote such an
excess of silver coinage as will drive cold
out of the countiy , and leave our vast ttade
and commeico based upon silver only. In
reaching tills position ot .sliver monomct-
nlisiii , it Is impossible to 1)3 ) blind to tiic dis
astrous contraction ot tiio circulating medi
um of the country that would at once occur ,
for when the moment anivestliat gold com
mands n premium it will beheld as u com
modity fousalc , not circulating on a small pr
G per cent piomlum , being as pioductlvo of
universal hoaidlng at STi per cent , and no
posslblandvantage lo our people could be ex
pected Irom following the lame and focblo
example of India or Mexico In iitlll/.Ins sil
ver cnrieney only.
Mr. Merrill insisted that tlieio was no war
upon silver , but tiom the substance aiidoi-
fect ot the declaration of vv.n that had been
made upon gold by the leader ot the demo
cratic paity in the senate , liom the plcasuip
which the sonatpr from Kentucky had
evinced in deliycring in the senate his an
tagonism to tlio president and secietaryof
thetieasnry it secnieit to Mr. Monill that
that senator had been for tlio moment under
a delusion. Ho was still belaboring with
Icft-liandi'd compliments some lepubllcan
piesidcnt and secretary , but Mr. Moirill
could look on with conipoainc , contidcnt as
ho was of the sin viral of the fittest. Ills
( Mori Ill's ) convictions that continued coin-
ace of largo amounts of silver would drive
all gold out of the countrv , was based on the
expeiicnco of all clvlli/.ed people that Infeiinr
money never failed to expel supciior , and
tile fact that our own silver mines furnished
moie than one-half of the annual silver yield
ot the woild.
Mr , Moil ill denied that there had been any
failure on the part ot the treasury olllcials to
comply with the law s legaiding the applica
tion of the money iccelved from custom
duties. It would not bo contended , ho said ,
by anybody , except , pcthaps. tlio senator
liom Kentucky , that as each piece ot money
was jecelveilatacustom liouso it was to bo
branded and set apait in a sepaiato coiupait-
ment. It it was in tlio tieasuiy , that was
enough. Itv the report of the United Stated
tieasuier. Monill continued , it appeals tlieio

gllng how and where to safely stoic , until by
some nilraclo they can Una moio favor in

dollars in actual ciiculatlon onUido
of the treasury , it also appeals ,
has been constantly giovvlng less since
18&1 , being then 80.8 per cent , and
now only lo,8 per cent. Wo nave coined over
two hundred and littcon million sliver dol-
laio , and Iwvo only been able nt anytime ,
through much cost and tribulation , to get
not quite titty million Into spasmodic circu
lation. The people do not like to ho com
pelled by law to caily it. Wo do not icceivo
It heio omsclves with any pialsowoithy
coidlality. Whenever the government , tiom
inability orlrom Indisposition , shall fall to
maintain the silver dollar on upar with gold ,
nil of the silver eeittllcalesas wellas sill the
other paper cm lency , together with tlie .sil
ver dollar itself , will hill to exact thu com-
meicial vnluoof tlie bullion contained in the
stundnid silver dollar. All our legal tender
must then stand on that basis. Thoieis no
financial or legislative witchcraft that oilers
any other late.
The senator from Kentucky ( Mr. Heck ) oC
couioo expect * to cany the ICmplio slate in
IbSS on his platfoihi. JJo is not himself
eligible as u candidate for the presidency.
The distinguished senator waves Ills banner ,
reckless ot the clouds without any sliver lin
ing which betoken the fate of any democratic
son of Now Yoik who may Fcelc to conquer
under that sign. The inevitable lesult ot
using silver inpayment ot tlio public debt
would bo to banish gold , or two-thirds of all
bur present metallic elicnlntion , and leave. )
us with nothing but silver coinage. Our live
or six bundled millions of gold would soon
command a premium , incieasing day by day.

preciation , and Its depaituro could not

This , or anything , tlie supreme com11ms
nheady announced , congiess juay do at its
pleusuie. Such a.step , once taken , however ,
the experience of the woild shows cannot
easily bo ictraced.
Mr. Morilllcontendcil that the public faith
was pledced to the payment of tlie bonds ,
both principal and infeiest , In gold , and that
our credit would bo dishonoied by paying
them off in silver woithl'Jcents on the dollar
lar , and concluded as follows : "The fact that
the rpicsldent and secictary of the
tieasury. the Measurer , tlio dlioetor
ot the mint and tlie comptroller ot cuiiency ,
experienced tieasnry olliclals , no less under
the pic.sent administration than under the
jnccedlng , are all agreed in uiging congress
to cease ( lie picseut coinage ( if the silver
dollar , uoes tor nothing with tlio senator
from Kentucky and his obedient tolloweis. "
.Mr , Beck said to stop the coining of silver
money In older to make silver money more
valuable was like stopping giinding wheat
Into Jlour in older to make moio value. The
pniposo was to suspend it now and never
lesumo coinage. The argument meiely
fallowed that silver was good enough lor
evcrjbtdv but the bondholder , who was tlio
only pet sou that had In wiltingaeierd to
take it. The bankets and btmuliulikra of

not bo allowed to strike down one-lmlf the
coinage of the world. This was n govern
ment of people , by the people , and for tlio
people , and the people would see It was not
turned Into n government of bondholders ,
by bondholder ? and for bondholdcis. Mr.
Deck gave notice that In duo time lie would
leply to Mr. MorrilPs speech.
Tifr. Merrill said that Mr. Heck's reply to-
minded him of the storv of t.io hey \vho etled
when his mother whipped him , anil when
asked by his mother why lie cried so much
hauler than had been IIH custom on similar
occasions , icplled , "because , mother , 1 see

Mr. Teller denied tlio statement by Mr.
Monill to the elfect that 10.tKX,000 of the
aM.OOO.OOD silver dollars nlrcndy coined could
not begot into cliculatlon. Inat statement
had been made by the piesidentsind sccietaiy
ot the tieasuiy , and had not been made by
accident , and so far as the treasury otllclals
were couccined it was intended to mislead
and had misled the people. By the same
piocess of lo le. It could be asserted that SSW-
000,000 of gold In the tivasuty could not bo
put into eliculntion. The government , Mr.
Teller said , had made S20,000UOt ) ptotit on the
coinage of silver. The talk ol the eovein-
ment losing money in silver coinage wasall
bosh. Mr. Mcl'hcrioti c\ptes ed himself In
favor of as much silver coin us would keep It
on a par with gold , and tiigucd that Mes < i $ .
Teller and IJeck , and tlio people ot their way
of IhliiKliisr , weieendeavoilnglo biing the
country to a sllv er basis.
Mi. Ju-ck said the people of tlie west Imd
shown their confidence in silver. They had
sent east OflK)0,000 ( ) gold dollaisnnd took sil
ver ceitltlcatcs for them , sustained by silver
alone , until the treasury stopped It.
Mr. McPhersoii asked it Mr. Uoek meant to
say that nil this vast amount of gold had
been sent to the tieasury from tlio east foi
the purposeof getting sliver ceillllcalesi'
Mr. Heck said ho did.
Mr. Mel'herson "Let mo tell the senator
exactly what was done. The senator knows
that lor a long time past there has been a
largo incieaso of the gold icseive in the
banks ot New York. They have been ap-
nichending exactly such trouble as Is now
being forced on the countiy by the continu
ance of silver coinage. WJmt do they do' . '
They have deposited their gold In the sub-
treasury at New Yoik. the original ccitill-
catc had been sent to tlio tieasuiy at
Washington , and sliver ccitlllcales
had been issued upon that and chaiged
against the silver upon 'leposlt In the tieas
nry. Now then , what becomes of the ccitlll-

the exchange theic. In other wouls
the bankei lias made a handsome financial
tiansaction by dcpo itim : his gold , which lie
did not want to use , for the pnipose ot get
ting a ceitiliciile. ' '
Air. Teller , inwho.-c time mo-t of the de
bate liad taken pl.ice , declined to yield any
longer , and continued hKremaiks. Heie-
pudlated the idea implied by the gold advo
cates , thai the people whom he lepresented
meant to .scale the debt.
The dolnto then came to a close , and aftei

After a long discussion on the pension

motion down , and on motion of Air. Alatson
went Into a committee of the whole with
Air. Weber of Texas In the eliair , tliopui-
pose being to continue the discussion on the
pension bill.
The liist bill on the calendar , however , was
the senate bill for tlie purchase of the old
pioiluco exchange In Now Yoik city , and
Air. Symes of Coloiado , receiving lecognltion
ol tlio chair , stated that that was the picclso
bill he wished to talk about , and immediately
proceeded to deliver a speech in opposition
to the suspension of silver dollar coinage.
Jloiidlculed the nsscitlon made by the preil-
dent and seoietarv of the tieasury that the
silver dollar could not bo made tochculato ,
and declaied that the coinage and legal ten
der laws had been willfully violated by the
executive olllceis of the government. The
false ontciy that the people would notic-
cclve tlio silver dollar was made for the pur
pose of deceiving the people. It was made
in puisuanco of a gieat conspiiacy toinicd of
the bondholder : ) , capitalists and monopolists
of the money centers to demcncti/c one-half
of the metal money of tlio world , ami It was
n matter ol seiious public concein ( hat the

letter and spiilt of the law.
His criticism against the piesent adminis
tration , ho admitted , applied as well
to the past ippubllcan amuinistiution. In
conclusion ho warned the house that the
dcmonctUation of silver would create a Hat
money party in this country , compaied with
which the cicciiback paity liom tlio close of

The house was then brought luck to the
