ginm.J It is very piob.iblo that the people
who settled on the Crow Cieek and Wlnnc-
hngo Indian icscrvallon In Dakota between
Februaryi7and : April 17 last , under the
provisions ofn pioclamatioii Issued by Presi
dent lithnr , Ihiowlng the ip civntion open
to settlement , and who Avcre compelled to
move oil of Ihe settlement1 * they nlado by n
proclamation Issued on the latter date by
Pccstdent Cleveland , revoking the founcr
pioclamatioii , will IK-paid for the looses they
sustained. Kver sluco the invocation of
Piesldeut Aitliui'spioclamallon , the sulTer-
rrs from It have been appealing to tlio pi evi
dent nud interior dcp.iilincnt for
icllef. They say they made entiles
on the icservntlon In good fnith ,
hnv ing n perfect right to do so under the first
proclamation , nnd that two months after-
want , when they had just . ' ( ot , settled In their
new homes thcyweic foielbly driven away ,
vvheieby they lost all Ihey expended for their
buildings , fences , etc. , nud the sacrifices they
made in leaving their old homes , since 11 was
by deception o i the patt of Ihe government
and an older over which Ihey had no eon-
tiol. That thijy sustained their losses liicy
very naturally concluded the troveinment
would lelmburse them.
To-day in Iho senate Mr. Harrison 10-
Hpomleu to the appeals of these disappointed

and the admission to statehood of thu south

nnd complete the same as icqiiiied by law ,
nnd their claims shall for such a time have a
piefeience over later entiles ; nnd when they
.shall In other lespccts have complied with
tlie law icgulating such entries , especially
liomesteiulcis , shall bo entitled to have .such
lands , and patents theiefor shall be issued.

bloody an it fatal low , which occurrcil near
licro Mond.xy , has Ju t been iccclved In all its
minuteness.
The paitlcipanls In tlio fracas were Iho
faint lies of W. W. Westbrook and A. Olbson.
The founcr consisted of the father null three
sons of lighting a'je , and the latter the old
man nnd 0110 son.
Some daysnio the ( ilbsons secured a mnlo
careas" to bait for wolves. ' It was so success
ful that \Vcslbrooks raided the bait and
carried oil halt of It to plant on their own
premises. This plating brcat'h of pioporty
rights was piononncccl a casus bellli and the
Gibsons took down their lllnt lodes ami lusty
navies and went gunning for the Westbrooks.
They met by chance on the highway. The
Westbrooks had heaid of tlm declara
tion of war , nnd had thrown out
a skirmishing linn to pievcnt a surprise.
AVhen the factions hove in sight , the West-
brook light mtlllcry was unmasked , and a
bullet pleiced the heel of Gibson's mule.
This unguarded shot smote the bull's-eye of
peace In the old man's licait , and ho chaiged
on the enemy with n wild war whoop. The
onset \\asnol unllko acyclono in a land
locked valley , and paralyzed the Westbrooks ,
both sue nnd sons. When hostilities ceased
through lack of ammunition and nm-
teilal to play on , three Wcst-
brooks lay bleeding and dead on the field
while the fomth , coveiing the foim of old
Gibson , rammed a pistol into his ear and
snapped the tiiggcr several times. It failed
to explode , and Gibson lives to attend the
luneral.
Old Weslbrook got a bullet wound over the
right cyo ; his son Tom icccivcd a dcith
wound in the neck ; and Jim , another son ,
had his scalp funovved with a shot.
Gibson suricudcicd to the atithoiities.

THE RIOTING COKE WORKERS ,
A Battle Between tlio Policemen and Strik
ing Hungarians One of the Dis
turbing Element Killed.
I'tTTsnvnn , Jnn. 20 , A dispatch from
Mount Pleasant to-nlgljt says : ShcilIT Stew
art and forty deputies , nnd Detective Bropliy
nnd twenty armed polifo from Pittsburg , had
a desperate conflict th B aftcinoon with iBO
strikers , who had attacked the men at the
Alice works in the moinlng. The iloters
rested for dinner. Then they massed at the
Mutual woiks , near Sloncrville. At this
point a negro , without pro\ocatlon , fired at
the Hungarians with a shot gun , but failed
to hit any of them. They surrounded his
house , dragged him out , boat him fearfully
and left him for dead , with his skull frac
tured. Ilo will probably die.
At1 ! o'clock the.stilkcrspassed up toward
Morowoort , llouilshiug every manner of
weapon Irom lovolvcrs to case serapeis.
They wcie headed by Stephen Stamix , main
agitator of the strike. When they readied
shaft A , Morewood mines , they cncouiitcied
sixty-two deputy sheriffs and policemen
drawn up for battle. Detective Biopliy talked
to the foreigners , telling them It wns useless
to icslst , and that ho would arrest the ling-
leaders , liiophy arrested one striker , which
opened the ball. The combat was hand-to-
hand , but the olllccis won , anestlng tlilitecn
men nnd one woman , who were sent to jail
at Gioeinllle. The balance retreated. Over
n hundred shots woie filed and several Hun-
Kalians injincU. How many ts not known ,
as thoyweio c.uiicd away by companion * .
Only one olllccr was slightly hint. The
authorities , it is stated , telegraphed to Pitts-
burg lor more olllcd * . The strike is only in-
nuguialcdnnd moio bloodshed Is feared ,
Tills strike Is undoubtedly the most dan-
ecious In the history of the coke country.
Tlio operators have an entirely different class
of men to deal with , as Hungarians when
drunk ate unmanagnbloand mote like fiends
than men. In loimcr bliiUes this element
was not In the field , and the operators had
more intelligent men to deal with. A leellng
of insccuiity prevails and citizens near the
vaiious tlneatencd districts are arming them
selves and otherwise pieparing to defend
their homes as best they may.
A dispatch at midnight says It is thought
one Hnngniian killed in the fialil with
tlio police this afteinoon. A special train
lelt Giecnsbiug tliis evening with the
prisoneis guaidcd by policemen. A
liot Is also icpoited to have occuiied
at the Donni'lly and Diamond works , al)0ut )
tlneo miles east of Mount Pleasant , in which
live Hnncaiians and three Ameiioans were
Injured. The condition of allaiis at mid
night is pood. A special train has just nr-
ilvcd at St.uidatd , with a police lorce , which
will bo used tonight to aireit some men
charged w'lth assault.
STOXKVIM.H , Pa.-Jan : 20. The situation
assumed an alarming phase in tlio coke re
gions tills moi ning. Three bundled strikers ,
armed with bars , coke-Jorks and revolvcis ,
stalled on a march. Thcydto\c tlio men
fiom woilc at the Alice , and chaiged the
wardeiibol tliecoko. yard at a place a mile
southwest of heio. A boy named Meurer
was tenibly beaten , and a yard uoss ham
mered. Every o\en tiont was crushed in.
The greatest trouble Is yet to come. Satur
day will bo pay-day , aim on Monday ten days
will have expired since the notice to quit had
been given to the strikois in the company
houses. Thcie will likely be serious trouble
when ejectment Is attempted. The rcpoit
that the governor has Ijecn.called on for aid
is nntiue. The sherilTtwIll not send until lie

Iiesolved , That the secietary of the tieas > -

papers in relation to the contract let to Brain-

ing Information that the woik of said pon-
trart would bo peifoimed by convict labor ,
and consequently the contiactois who cin-
iiloycd fieo laboi could not alfoid to compcto
for the work.
In otreilnplhc resolution , Mr. Hole said
no had not been mcp.iicd to believe without.
urther intormatlou that the seeielary ot tlie
treasuiy Would let any contiact lor woik to
bo done on puiilie buildings In such way that
the work would bo done by coin lot mbor.
Ho ( Mr. Hale ) had locelved Inloimntlon of
such character as made It desirable to ascer
tain the facts set liirth In Ills resolution , Ho
did not belicNe a contiact for public work
should bo let topinplojeis of convict labor
when theie was no lack of ordinaiy labor
In the conn I ly , Ilo did not believe that lice
labor should be put on competition with con
vict labor.
The ipsolulloti was azreed to.
Mr. Moirlll addicted the senate on the
silver question. He picuilsed with the ro-
niaik that the elaborate speech of the senator
fiom Kentucky ( Buck ) seemed to throw the
buiden of the lojolnder on the tnoiids of the
ndmlnlstiatlon. I do not mean , lie continued ,
tocncmacli upon the pilvileges which so
many democratic senators appear so eager to
enjoy of rushing totluucscuo ofthe piesulcnt
and the becrcmry ol the tipasiny , against
whom the ciuel ittack is made , upon tlio
cnidinal mcasuia ot the ndmlnistiiitiun , us
1 know the fate oL those who ventuic to In-
li'ileio with family miaueK But this
measure , thiongli w lilch sliver might bo main
tained on a par with gold , is so wet thy of all
accppllon that I fear It will not have , after
the heat of demonstration , an acknowledged
leadci of his patty In tlio btato asaiusl it , or
thai unanimous suppoit to which it may be
laiily entitled. In the first place , let me say
there are no pai tie * , so far as 1 know , in the
senate or out of it , that pioposeor h.x\o any
wisli to deinoiipti/.o It , for to cluuceotheiwiso
is a baseless assumption and unwoithy ol the
aicna of fair debate. K\eryboily is willing-
nay anxious to kpcp ns much of silver as
can bo done and keep it at the bamo time nt
par with our gold coinage. Tlio only hostility
aiisesiiom whathociiis to ho a mixed and
passionate puiposo on tlie pai tot some ot
its advocates to promote such an
exceas of silver coinacn as will drive cold
out of the countiy , anil IP.IVC our vast tiadu
and commciee based upon sliver only. In
reaching ; tills position ot .silver inoiiomct-
nllsin , it is impossible to 1)3 ) blind to the dN-
nbtioits contraction ot the piteulating mpdi-
um of the country that would at once occur ,
tor when tlie moment anivcs that gold com
mands a premium it will beheld as a rom-
modlty for. sale , not chuulaUng on n small or
0 per cent premium , beine : as pioducthoof
universal hoaiding at Sopor cent , and no
possiblondvantaso to our people could bo ex
pected Irom following the lame and fpcblo
example of India or Me\Ico in utill/.ing sil
ver currency only.
Mr. Morrlll insisted that theio wns no war
upon silver , but liom the substance andel-
fect ol the declaiation of wai that bait been
made upon gold by the leader ol the demo
cratic patty in the senate , liom the plcasuip
which the senator Irom Kentucky had
evinced In delivering in tlio senate his an
tagonism to tlio piesident nnd scciotaiyof
the tieasuiy , it seemed to Mr. Moriill that
that senator had been for the moment under
a delusion. He was still belaboring with
left-handed compliments some republican
picsident and secretary , but Mr. Monill
could look on with compostne , confident as
lie was ot the suivival of the fittest. His
( Morrlll's ) convictions that continued coin
age of largo amounts of silver would drive
nil gold out ot the conutrv , was based on the
expeiieneo of all clvlll/ca people that inferioi
money never failed to expel superior , and
tlio fact that our own silver mines furnished
moie than one-half of thu annual silver yield
01 the woild.
Mr , Moirlll denied that there had been any
failure on the part of the treasury ollicials to
comply with the laws regaiding the applica
tion of the money recehcd Irom custom
duties. It would not bo contended , ho f aid ,
by anjbody , except , poihaps , the senator
1 10111 Kentucky , that as each piece of money
was iccelved at a custom house it was to bo
branded and set apait in a sppauto eompait-
nient. If it was in the ticasmy , that was
enough. By the repoit of the United States
ticasuier , Moriill continued , itappc.iislheiu
Is somewhere In the treasury Slii'i15'J5XX ( ) of

some miracle they can find moio favor in

It hem ouiselves with any pinlsowoilhy
coullallty. Whenever thu government , liom
inability or from indisposition , shall fail to
maintain the silver dollar on u par with gold ,
all of the silver coitiliratesns well as all tlm
other paper curiency. together with tlio sil
ver dollar itself , will lull to cvact tlio eom-
meiclal value of the bullion contained in tlio
standaid .sliver dollar. All nur legal tender

The distinguished senator w.ws nls banner ,
reckless ot tlm clouds without any silver lin

Mr , Morrlll contended that the public faith
was pledged to the payment of fhq bonds.
both principal and liifeicst , In gold , and that
our credit would bo dUhonoied by paying
them oil' In silver woi th 7'J cents on thu dollar

.Mr , Beck said tobtoptho coining of silver
money in oulcr to make MT ! money moio
valuable was like stopping giinding wheat
Into flour in outer to make mom value. The
pmposo was to suspend it now and never
lesumu roinnup. The arguiiient
showed that silver was good enough lor

only pel son that had In wiitlugneu'Pdtp

Hot bo allowed to slrlko down oue-hnK the

ment of itfonle , by the people , and for tlio
people , and the people would see It was not
turned into a government of bondholders ,
by bondholder * nnd for bomlholdcis. Mr.
Beck gave notice that in duo time ho. would
icply to Mr. Morrill's speech.
ifr. Morrlll said that Mr. Beck's reply re
minded him of tlie sloiy of t.io boy who ciled
when his mother whipped him , nnd when
asked by his mother why ho cried so much
hauler than had been lift custom on similar
occasions , replied , "because , mother , I sco
von are giowlne wrnker and weaker every
time jou flog me. " [ Laughter. ]
Mr. Teller denied the slatPiupiit by Mr.
Moriill to the olTcct that IOT.,000,000 of the
21UOO,003 silver dollars nlicndy coined could
not bo got Into cliculntton. That statement
bad been mndobythc pieMdetitamlsccrctniy
ol Ilie tioasury , and had not been made by
accident , nnd so far ns the treasury otllclals
WPIO coucci nud it wns Intended to mislead
nnd had misled the people. By the tame
piocess nf lo lo it could be asserted that SSV- !
000.000 of gold In the trcasmy could not bo
put Into circulation. The government , Mr.
Teller said , had made 52i , OiWoot , ) piolit on the
coinage of silver. The talk of the BOVPUI-
iiu-nt lo'lntr moncv in silver colnaeo wasall
bosh. Mi. McPhcisou p\pnM ed lilm clf in
ta\or ot ai much silver coin us would keep It
on a par with gold , and argued that Messrs ,
Teller and BOCK , and the i > poplo of their way
of thinking , weiepudcavoiluglo bilng the
countiy to a silver basis.
Mi. Beck said the people of the west bail
shown fheir confidence In silvei' . Tlu-vhiul
sent east ( iO.DOO.OOO gold dollais and took sil
ver cpitllicalos lor them , sustained by silver
aloni' , until the treasury slojipcd It.
Mr. McPhornou asked il M r. Bivk meant to
say that all this vast amount of gold had
been sent to the tieasury ftom the east lor
the pui pose of potting sliver ccitlllcatcs ?
Mr. Beck said ho did.
Mr. MePherson "Lot mo tell the senator

Mr. Teller , in whose tlmiMiioit of the debate -
bate had taken place , declined to yield any
longer , and continued liNiemaiks. Heio-
pudiated the idea implied bj the gold advo
cates , that the people whom ho icpmsoulcd

Aflor a long discussion on the pension

motion down , and on motion of Mi. Matson
went Into a committee ot the whole with
Mr. Weber of Texas In the chair , the pin-
pose being to continue the discussion on the

The Hist billon the calendar , however , was
the senate bill for the purchase of the old
pioduco exchange In Now Yoik city , and
Mr. Symesof Colorado , receiving locogultlon
ot the chair , slated that that was thopicclso
bill he wished to talk about , nud immediately
proceeded to deliver u speech in opposition
to the suspension ol silver dollar coinage.
Ho ildlculpd the asset lion made by tlm preii-
dentandsccictaiv ot the ticasury that the
silver dollar could not bomadolociiculntu ,
and dcchucd thai lite coinage and legal len
der laws had been willfully violated by the
executive olliccis of the goveinment. The
lalsooutciv that the people would notic-
cclvo the silver dollar was madn for the pin-
pose of deceiving the people. It was mndo
in puisuanco of u gieat conspiracy formed ot
the bondholders , capitalists and monopolists
ot the money centers to dumcnctl/o onu-hnlf
of the metal money of the world , nnd it was
a matter ol seilous public conccin that the
highest officials of Iho goveinment wcie aid
ing this conspiracy by violating tlie plain
letter and spiilt of the law.
Ills criticism against tlio piesent adminis-
tinllon , ho admitted , applied as well
