Voung-Man-Afrald-of-Hls-Horso , and StandIng -
Ing Soldier were llred by tbo hostile. * . The
Inattor Is being Investigated.
Ho Dog nnd Jnclc Red Cloud , the latter the
Bnn of old Hed Cloud , and about ono hundred
others hove returned to the o.unp. Still more
have promised , but have failed to keep their
word. Oeneral Miles say !
"At last accounts the Indians were fight
ing among themselves. The camp was a
pandemonium , "
There was no head to the hostllcs. The
dcaperadocs were destroying their own pro
perty. If those Indian * who belong to this
ngency como In , the others , the trcneral
thinks , will endeavor to got back to their
own reservation. The hostile clement , ho
Bays , Is composed of outlaws from Standing
7ock { , Cheyenne River and Uosebud reserva
tions.
The troopi on the other sldo are frequently
skirmishing with them and will follow them
if they como. Should such bo the case the
general thinks the military problem will be
solved. Control of the Indians , however , ho
hnld.s will still bo a matter for serious con
sideration , because bo will have to bo so
cared for as not to bo n terror to the poojilo
of these states and go to war In the spring ,
even if ho should desire to.
Miss .Sickles of Chicago is still hero , aiding
in the work ot bringing the conflict to n
peaceful termination. When she wns su
perintendent of the Ogallala's school at this
place , she aroused the anger of Red Cloud ,
Llttlo Wound and several other chiefs sus
tained her mid , it is thought , thus saved her
life. She now hopes to have some inllucnco
over the last named chief , who is hold by
many to bo the most Influential among the
hostllos. She has had ono conference with
him and other chiefs where ho was camped ,
n few miles out of the city. She feels she
may yet seeuro another conference , or that
the chief may come In to talk with hor. If
she should , it Is not likely thut ho will bo mo
lested.
Eastern people , It Is claimed , are anxious
to huvo this chief brought to them to detail
his wrongs.
Ucnural Miles received n uoto in Indian ,
couched In terms of angelic sweetness nnd
innocence. It came from Sitting Bear anu
Short Hull. They had stopped tboir ghost
dance , they said , because tno general bad
asked them. They would cotno In nnd bo
good Indians. It Is unnecessary to say that
the word of these wily chiefs was not re
spected from tlio first. They have been the
must implacable enemies of peace. Tnoy
have asserted that they would never come
in , even if only fifty romalnod out. The let
ter was Intended fora purpose nnd General
Miles seems to understand what that purpose
was. Colonel D. linehc , medical director of
the department of the Plalto , has been ap
pointed by General Miles acting medical di
rector , division of the Missouri , in the field.

Sioux CITY , la. , Jan. 0. [ Special Tele
gram toTiin Ur.K. ] Major W. W. Anderson ,
for four years Indian agent nt Crow Crook
und Lower Brulo , was In the city today. Dis
cussing the Indian troubles ho said If Agent
Gallagher had been retained nt Pine Ridge
the trouble would uot have assumed the
proportions that it now has. Gallagher was
thoroughly acquainted with Indian ways and
nnd would have stayed at the ngoacy and
quelled the disturbance , or nt least checked
it , but Royor failed in this. When the
trouble wns first inaugurated ho fled to
Huskvlllo and called for troops. This stop led
the Indians to believe him a coward
nnd they naturally grow bold and were defi
ant and unyielding. When ho returned to
the agency with the troops the bold nnd un-
sympathotlb front put on by Royor widened
the gulf and Increased the animos
ity. The Indians had told him that
they had no desire to fight , when
they did at Wounded Knee , hut would have
avoided It if they had had confidence in the
troops. They tolcl him that instead of form
ing Hues to disarm thorn they circled about
thorn so that when their weapons
were gone they would have no
means of escape. This with the
belief that the soldiers who wore to disarm
them were n portion of the trosps in the
great Custor expedition nnd wcro bent on re
venge for the tcrrlhlo results , made the In
dians , believe that they wore to be massacred
and -they preferred to die lighting rather
than to bo massacred.
Mr. Anderson says that ttio ghost dance is
a hoax nnd that the Messiah crnzo is not the
cause of thn trouble. For five yours the gov-
onimont has boon violating the Sioux treaty
of 18T15 , by giving the lirllnna only a
fraction of the rations agreed to nt that
time. The violation of this treaty , ho says ,
ho knows Is the real cause of the trouble , ami
that ' tbo Messiah craze Is n piece strategy on
the 'port of the bldor and wiser heads among
the Indians to excite the young bucks to as
sist them. The old Indians , ho says , do uot
believe In the Mosslnh at all.
When asked why the Indians hod not re
sented the violation of thu treaty before this
tlmo , hesuid that until two years ago they
! mu good crops and had muuogcd to gut along
well with the short rations. Two years ago
the crop failures came , and with
this , ho says , the Indians com
menced to starve , nnd ho hero cited many
instances of his own knowledge \vhoro In
dians had been in n starving condition. Ho
said that ho know of their going two or thrco
days without food ana eating the carcasses of
horses burned In a tire at Ctiuuborlutu to keep
them from starving.

port tbnt the grand duke of Meoklenburg-
Schwerln had offered to Prince Bismarck
the presidency of the grand dticnl ministry.
The grand duke Is the head and front of the
feudal rulers of Germany. Attached by an
cestry to the Slavs , ho made the attachment
stronger by marriage to n member -
bor of the Kussinu imperial family.
His family is older than the Hohcnzollonis
and fully as proud and ho considers himself
nt least the equal of the Gorman emperor.
His discontent with the kaiser's policy both
in its niitl-Uussian features and Its contempt
of ancient feudal privileges has long beenjap-
parent , nnd if the statement of the usually
well Informed Frankfurter Xcltung proves
true it will be taken for granted that ho has
now struck the first open blow against the
ruler of the new Gorman empire. There is
no doubt that ho has many sympathizers ana
that the kaiser has good cause for alarm.

AJIVSEJIEXT8.
Bizet's romantic grand opera , "Carmen , "
with Jessie Bartlctt Davis in the title role ,
received a very strong interpretation at the
Boyd last night by the Bostonians.
Until the Hnalo of the opera-was reached ,
there was some doubt whether tbo company ,
which has been identified so long with
lighter compositions , could successfully
handle so exacting a score as "Carman , "
but nil doubts wcro set at rest
by the time the opera wns ended.
Among grand operas ' 'Carmen" deservedly
takes high rank. tVrlttcn by a' master of
musical construction upon a nigh muslcianly
piano , it has for years ncen first In the reper
toire of great artists ,
Tt affords a wide scope for strong dramatic
work nnd the wisdom of Its selection by the
Bostonlans was enthusiastically proven last
evening.
From principals down there \vni an Intelli
gent appreciation shown that was very re
freshing after the surfeit of opera coinlquo
which theater goers have had since the sea
son began.
Thorn was no hesitation In the rendition of
the thrilling story , and the ensemble was
quite up to the heavy requirements of the
work in hand.
The Carmen of Jessie Bartlett Davis
is ono of the strongest studies yet given by
that very charming woman. It is seemingly
a labor 01 love with her , for it affords imiK-
nlllcent scope for the display of dramatic
ability , which is an unknown quantity
usually to the lyric artiste.
No point has boon allowed to cseapo un
noticed nnd her realization of the character
proves Mrs. Davis to bo ono of the leading
singers of the operatic stage.
Miss Jullotto Cordon has developed wonderfully -
dorfully since last heard hero n year ngo.
Her voice has grown In volume , and she sings
with delightful intelligence. As Micheala
she won a highly gratifying success , display
ing a beautiful voice , particularly clear and
limpid In the uper register.
Mr. W. II. MnoDonnld as the Torreador
wus thoroughly In harmony with the role.
Ho was in line voice and sang his stirring
numbers remarkably well , considering that
ho is ono of the hardest worked members of
the company.
Mr. Ferdinand Shutas Jose was some
what of n disappointment , not in his vocal
efforts but in his interpretation of the book.
Ho speaks "ngllsh with dlMlculty and 'alls
very often to appreciate the nice distinctions
drawn hy the ndnptcr. Hut musically hU
work wns very pleasing. Ho has a strong
tenor voice , particularly well developed hi
the mlddlo register and with n hotter knowl
edge of the language will provoto bo n valua-
bio acquisition to thoorg.mintlon.
George I ) . Frothlnghani nnd l-Ved Dlxon

Under the competent direction of Mr. Sam
Studloy the orchestra acquitted Itself most
creditably , contributing materially to the
successful proftenlntlon of the oporn.
And the chottiH deserve no Hinalt part of
the credit for the success of the performance ,
for throughout It sang with the nicest dls-

A compromise ou the silver coinage quos
tlon Is probable. The advocates of unlimited
free coinage now acknowledge that If they
continue upjn ttio line they UM fallowing ttioy
will forever strangle their po > iton ! , and they
nro considering u compromise. Speaker
Reed will never permit unlimited frco coin-
nge to como before the house even though it
could got out of comtmttoj , nnd ho will not
suffer consideration of any iliiaticUl measure
which could bo amended unuor tlio rules by
the acceptance of n free coinage ftf.ituro un
less ho bun assurance that no Hank movement
like that which sidetracked the election bill
is attempted. Ho will lake no chance * .
Ono ot tbo leading free coinage advocates
said this afternoon to your corrutpoiulciit on
the floor of the senate : " \Vo may com pro-
mis o on free coinage for American sllyor. "
Others hinted a similar contemplation.
Chairman Dorsoy of the house committee
on banking nud currency , who will have
charge of the fluanco bill now brjforo the sen
ate when It goes to tbo lower branch of con
gress , whether it contains free colnngo or
not , said : ' 'Tho speaker will odor no hind
rance to froa. coinage for American silver.
Wo would promptly report It from commit
tee and it would bo adopted on the
lloor of tbo house without delay.
1 believe the same action would bo given an
amendment which went further and author
ized the secretary of the treasury to buy nil
tno silver bullion offered from whatever
source and Issue certificates upon It. What
the anti-froo colnairo men object to is the
creation of a market in the United States for
all the silver produced in the world at a
fixed price. If wo can make 8 cents worth of
bullion worth SI In gold by simply stump
ing it with federal authority the
government of the United States
and not the foreign powers
should beiiellt by It. So long as wo conliiio
our coinage to silver purchased at market
prices created by the standard of other nro-
ducts our government inakuj the profit of the
coinage , but whenever wo make it possible
for foreigners to send their M ) cents wortli of
bullion hero nnd get in return a certificate
worth SI in gold we open u milling business
for the world which we must aoino day
balance. "
Them is a gradual shifting of the free
coinage advocates to this way of looking at
the problem , and n compromise is becoming
more and more likely every day.
WANA > IAKIU'K ro-iTALTUMWiurii niu. .
The house committee on postofllcei uud
post roads adjourned nsfaln today without
takiim action unon the Wananmker bill to es
tablish a limited postal telegraph , The op
position , which consUUi solely of the lobby ,
tin-ling that a quorum of the committed could
bo prevented , mustered all of it.s forces , nnd
by discussing dilatory motions until the hour
for the meeting of the house caused Iho meet
ing of the committee to-cud without result.
The friends of the bill , however , take now
hone , for on Tuesday of this week the oppo
sition being afrntd to go into the committo
and vote against the rejiort. had to content
themselves with breaking a quorum.
The bill would have been reported
favorably on that day even though Cnndlcr
of Mussaenusetts , one of the strongest supporters -
porters of it , was away in Florida but for
the absence of Hayes of Iowa , who. though
promMng to bo present , carefully stayed
away. The friends of thu bill rallied niuln
today and made a quorum , but the opposition
rallied nnd , knowing its own weakness , chose
to right nnd it fought successfully for delay.
To these who have watched closely from the
inside the postal telegraph light in this and
the last session of comjross some recent cir
cumstances nro curious and interesting.
There Is no doubt that the rumors of Post
master General Wnunaumkor's ilnnn-
nancial embarrassment , which have
appeared from time to time have
emanated irom Iho ofllco of Jay Gould. It Is
certain that ho threatened months ago to
play havoc with Mr. Wauumatcor's llmmclnl
credit , and it is certain that tlio reports which
liavo boon telegraphed east from western
cities wcro sent there by the opposition people
ple to bo telegraphed oast. These rumors
have recurred again nnd aeniu , hut so far
from frightening the poitmnstcr general or
causing him the slightest , annoyance , person
ally or nnnncially , they have only served to
draw his friends closer about him and to com
pact them in better fighting form than ever ,
Ho has never worried for u moment about
the affect of these rumors , which in
themselves , however baseless they might bo ,
would wreck almost any business man of
largo operations , for the very fact tuat nil
these rumors caused no annoyance at all Is
the best poislble evidence of his financial
soundness. On the contrary , in the postal
telegraph , as in his anti-lottery and other
lights , he has gone on por.iUtontly and good-
naturedly , gaining u point and making a
friend wherever ho could. Seven of the nlno
republican members of tbo committee and
several of the democrats arc heartily with
him in this , as In his otner postal roforniB.
The two republican memb rj who luivo soon
the most service and uro with him nt heart ,
namely , Binghatn of Philadelphia ,
the chairman , und ICeteham of Now
York , the next member in point of service ,
oppose the postal tclogragli bill by trying to
prevent its consideration. All of thp other
republican members are hoirtily In favor of
it , as the president , n majority of the cabinet
and the postollico committee of the sunato
are. The policy of delay was effectual in the
case of the anti-lottery hill until attention
was drawn by the ncwjpapon to the fact that
tlio measure had been carefully stowed away
for seven or eight months. It was said nt
the time that thu muHi who-should delay thu
consideration of the null-lottery hill should
luivo $1,000 n month iordoingso , und It is well
known that the scandalous methods of thu
lottery lobby , who scorned to have no end
of money to spend , being brought to the at
tention of the people was the chief causa of
the passage of thu bill. The limited poitul
telegraph bill has encountered within thu
last fortnight thu united opposition of the
democrats on the postollico committee of the
house , If it should roach the house calendar
It would rocelvo there united opposition
there , Some of the straight democrats on
the coinmittue , like Hlount of Georgia nna
Crain of Texas , who have studied pjitnl tol-
egniph'y and have buliuvod iu It and bctldoi
have lar o farming constituencies which
want It , liavo boon nt noart in favor of the
Wmmnutlcor bill , but u united democratic pol
icy has been doturiniucd upon , which proposes
that ull legislation In this direction shall bo
stopped nt all hazards , ut least until thouoxt
session. This will rob the rupubl uans of
any credit for legislation among the indus
trial and farming masses , wno are generally
supposed to have had things all their own
way in the recent elections. Thu dtivulop-
intiiits of today ns will us moro direct information
mation from certain domocr.ttlo campaign
managers entirely confirm thu belief that the
democracy will fiirnlsh u compromise postal
telegraph next session if it must , which it
would prefer not to do , but at any ruto U has
already made an alliance by which all poUul
tulcgrnph legislation is to bo staved off us
long as it can bo.
