Uiii.J : The question which seems uppermost
In the mlntl of everybody nround the agency
today Is whether or not General Miles will
insist upon the complete disarming of the In
dians. It is u question to which no answer
can bo obtained. This morning It was as
serted on good nuthor'ty ' that General Miles
liad ordered civilians out of the hostile camp
: so ho intended to disarm the Indians If
lie had to shell their camp to accomplish his
purpose. The general could not bo seen to
vtrlf.y the statement.
Adjutant General Corbln was asked If Gen
eral Allies had issued such an order , but ho
would neither admit nor deny that such a de
termination bad been decided upon. So long ,
ho claimed , ns the arms were bolng delivered
by tno Indians , there wns no necessity to
liso force to compel n more speedy giving
up of the weapons. It was the patient
general who accomplished the most nnd Gen
eral Miles was supposed to bo patlcntso long
r.s the Indians seemed disposed to comply
with his demands.
This inonilnK about twenty Indians cnmo
into the agency under Little Ilnwk , n dilapi
dated looking sport In a battered
white lint and surrounded by thlrty-ono
guns , some Winchesters nnd seine ns old hs
the Hood. The weapons were received In the
name nf General Miles nnd turned ever to
Agent Pierce nnd tagged with the owners' '
nnd chief's nnmo for safe keeping. The
delegation wns ns motlo.v n crowd
of crafty warriors as mortal over
gazed upon. They would not hesitate to re-
peit the treachery of Wounded Knee nnd
Agent Pierce wisely prevented all civilians
fiom standing around them during the sur
render , They Itcpt their eyes steadily llxod
upon General Miles' headquarters and
seemed disappointed because ho did
not appear. Their clothing xvas not
( searched nnd no ono doubted that they bore
hidden nrms which they would not hesitate
to use In case of emergency. Thus farllfty
one guns have been turned over so fur out of
nt lonit 1.500 , which the hostllcs are belloved
tO I1O9SC8S.

This r.ftcrnoou ono of the most significant
efforts to promote hntnony omoiiK the Indians
was made in the council to which reference
was mndo in this morning's ' telegrams. The
gathering took place at the instance of the
Ogallalas , nnd was hold In what Is
known as "Loafer's camp , " in the vlclnltj
of the frlcndllcs. Six hundred Brules were
present. The former had prepared a feast ol

Chiefs Standing Soldier , American Horse
Standing Bear , Fast Thunder , Spotted Horse
White Brrd and Bud Wound. Aincng
Brulcj wcro Chiefs Short Bull , Kicking
Boar , High Pipe , Iron Bull , Turning Bear
nnd Two Strike.
Amotlcnn Horse reviewed the circum-
ttnnccs which had led up to th
present difficulty nnd hnd Impelled Genera
Miles to issue bis order disarming the Indl
IUIH. Ho said the order ought to bo compiled
und that they should return to the !
homes and bring their young men torespcc
their coed white friends ; dissuade them from
violence and compel their children to rcturi
i school.
Short Bull said that ho had bcon In troubl
with thu whites before , but that ho hai
signed a treaty which always prompted him
to bo a good friend of the whit
'man. ' A great many of the Koso
bud Indians wanted to como to Pin
Uidgo agency because they knew they wouli
bo treated bojttcr thero. Itosobucl was In . :
hole , They were starved there sometimes
Thov wanted to leave it and llvo with thel
brothers In ono place. People carried lie
about the Indians when they wcro separated
They wanted to llvo In ono family and then
everything would bo all right.
Illph Plpo nnd Two Strike also spoko.
They wcro followed by Standing Soldier , i
fine young man of the Taylor scouts. II
said that some hnd come to the agency t
make trouble and had Killed friendly Indians
that they had caused the soldiers to bo sen
ngnlnst them and mndo General Mlles con1
niaiul them to lay down their nrms. Ho hopc (
nil of them would , comply with the
order , because it would brine pcaco
ngnhi. A short time ngo ho had
brought to Whlto Hat ( Lloutenant Taylor )
n good many of Sitting Bull's ' men. They
were no win the camp of the scouts. "Wucii
they were brought In they had given un
their arms and were to remain nnd
had been well treated and their
nonlcs Imd been fed with grain
niid hny. If Big Foot nnd his
band hnd como In , they would have been
treated In the same manner. The trouble
which killed him and his people was brought
on him by his own people. If they were hero
now , they would tell them something.
Dr. McGilllcudily then gave them
a talk in which ho pointed out
the errors which they had inndo In the
pAst ; the bad leaders they had followed and
the result which had followed them. Ho gave
thorn good advice nnd encouraged them to
oboytho regulations In the future.
-jjleutciinnt Taylor was asked to
speak and Bald that ho know verv
many Ognllulns and was satisfied that they
wcro friendly. He did not know tno Brules
so wall , but felt that there were many good
and bravo men among them who would listen
to reason. The trouble they had ex
perienced hnd been occasioned by a
variety of circumstances. In tlio greater
part of the Indian troubles , ho hnd observed
that the hid Inns had always good excuse for
bringing It on , Ho thought they had hud
some excuse In this instanco. The trouble
was now over and if they wished
to remain in peace , nil they
hud va do wns to comply wllli
the order of General Miles , Those who had
good sense and judgment should sot an ox-
nmplo to , nnd control the young men , of
whom lia know many , who lived lu their
tribes , They had turned in very few guns
and everybody know that they had
ninny more. It was now the
middle of winter. The Great Spirit hnd
Riven them extraordinary good weather , dif

Women would dlo nnd they and tho' soldiers
would suffer , Ho hoped they would Immedi
ately comply with General Miles' order so that
thu soldiers could coon KO homo and ba com
fortable. If they complied with General
Miles' order , some of them would bo allowed
< to go to Washington to the great father and
Btato their grievances to him. Ho dossil by
{ dating that their rights would be recognized
by the present oftlcon who hud been placed
ever them.
Tha council closed In the bent possible
humor , aud it wan uotlced that some of tuo
Brulestmd heard arguments and facts against
their rebellious course to which they at-

Tun BEE. I This afternoon a wind storm nre-
vailed In the agency , raising the dust In
clouds , and rendering It1 almost Impossible to
traverse the streets. Great activity , how
ever , prevailed. Detachments and wagon
trains for suppllos arrived from the neigh
boring camtis ; bucks and squaws fringed
the agency fences and hunt ? with patlonco
and in misery around the stores of the In
dian traders.
The most prominent arrival wns General

which had taken place for many years , llio
general , with nine troops of cavalry , com
prising about five hundred men , Is stationed

from this placo. They will there await
orders.
It was rumored that they would bo sent as
escort to tno Cheyenne * from this place to
Tongue river agency. This rumor , however ,
Is not credited. The regiment has done so
much jumping from post to post for the past
seventeen years that It Is likely , when " it

Several of the commands now In the field

oforo the severe weather , which is propho-

ompanlod by Captain Ewers who , prior to
Captntn PIcrco's arrival , had been in charge

lave no military escort. The captain's duty ,
, mong other things , will ho to satisfy settlers
ilong the route that the Cheyenncs are

Report oT FJnliio Goodale , Supervisor
of Education at I'ino Kldgo.
WASHINGTON , Jan. 1C. The commissioner
of Indian affairs has received from Elalno
Goodalc , supervisor of education at Pine
[ { Idge , a report on the battle at Wounded ,
3ho says the Indians had no intention ol
fighting ; that the first shot was fired by
voung and irresponsible Indian , and in
discriminate firing by the military followed
She thought the killing of some of the Indian
women unavoidable , but the fact that the
dead Indian bucks were found lying together
wtiilo tbo dead squaws and children wcro
found scattered about for a distance of two
miles tends to show that it was wilful.
Miss Gnodalo goes on to say that she was
not n witness of the Wounded Knee fight am'
that her information has been outalncd from
the Indians' who were engaged In It , am
from halfbreeds. The testimony of thesur
vtvors of Dig t'oot's band , she says , Is to the
effect that the Indians did not deliberately
plan resistance. The demand for their arms
was a surprise to them , but the majority o :
them chose to submit quietly. The tepee ;
had boon searched and a largo number o
guns , knives nnd hatchets confiscated , whci
the searching of the persons of the men wns
begun. The women say that they , too , were
searched , nnd tbo knives which they always
carry for domestic purposes taken
from them. 'A number of mun sur
rendered their rifles and cartridge bolts ,
whrn ono young mnii , who is described as a
good-for-nothing voung fellow , llrcd a single
shot. This called for n volley from the troops ,
nnd the tiring nnd confusion became general.
Miss Goodalei does not credit the statement
that the women carried arms and participated
In the light. "Thoro is no doubt , " she says ,
"that the malorlty of .tho women and child
ren hnd no thought of anything but fl ght.
They were pursued up the ravines nnd shot
down indiscriminately by the soldiers. " The
killing of the women add children wns. in
part , unavoidable , owing to the confusion ,
but Miss Goodnlo thinks It was in many
cases deliberate. Tlio scouts who burled
the dead report eighty-four bodies of men and
bovs , forty-four women and eighteen young
children. Some wcro carried off by the hos-
tiles. A number of prisoners , chiefly womnn ,
have since died of their wounds and more
will follow. A party who visited the battle
field on January I njid broucht In seven , re
port that nearly all the bodies of the men
were lying close to Big Foot's tent , while the
women nnd children were scattered along a
distance of two inilos from the encounter.
The report concludes : "Thomain reflec
tion which occurs to mo In connection with
this most un for tuna to affair Is that the same
thing should not be allowed to happen again.
The Irresponsible action of ono hot-headed
youth should not bo * a signal for a general
and Indiscriminate slaughter of tbo unarmed
und helpless. "

Pisu Rinau AOKXCV , S. D , , ( via Kusbville ,
Neb. ) , Jan , 10. ( Special Telegram to THE
BEE. ] The correspondents who had made
preparations to leave the scat of war today
have changed their plans , In the light of
events , and will remain n few days longer.
The promlso of the hostilcs to sur
render their arms is proving as big a
fraud as the bluff inaao by them
In that direction at Wounded ICnoo. General
Mites this morning declared all show of sur
rendering their nrms , so fur , to ho a gigantic
fnreo and ho showed undisguised disappoint
ment. However , the Indians will bo given
further opportunity to como to time , but come
they must , sooner or Inter.
General Miles today mndo another request
in addition to his official orders , that no re
porters or citizens go near the camps of the
hostlles. This request was made principally
to ward against the possibility of treach

Scna > x > rMamlorson made material amend
ments to the Omaha low bridge bill before ho
Introduced It In the senate today. The measure -
uro ns presented In the house by Mr. Heed of
Iowa did not compel the bridge company to
construct a railway bridge , and ns It was pre
sented by Mr. Manderson the structure must
have railroad facilities beyond any question
of doubt. Senator Manderson says ho docs
not want any moro miscarriages oa a brldgo
for railroad as well as wagon and pedestrian
facilities. The title of the dill as it was in
troduced In the house ta as follows : ' 'Author
izing the construction of a dinw. street rail
way , motor and pedestrian brldgo over the
Missouri river near Omaha , Nob. " As pre
sented in the sounto today the title of the
mcasuro Is ns follows : "Authorizing the
construction of n railroad , street railway ,
motor and pedestrian brldgo over the Mis
souri river near Council Bluffs , la. "
At the end of the flrst section Senator
Mandorsou inserted the following so as to
place the question of railroad facilities beyond
yond n perndvonturo of doubt : "And all
railroads reaching tbo Missouri river near
said point shall havp unobstructed approach
to and passage over said bridge for engines ,
cars and trains at reasonable charges and
rates of toll. " At the end of the third sec
tion of the house bill is this provision :
"Provided , further , that said company may
construct a wagon , motor and foot bridge
alone , and in CMSO of the construction of a
wagon , motor and foot bridge only , the draw
may bo of the Same length as herein pro
vided , " etc. Senator Mandorson has In hi *
bill stricken out this provision , ns ho regards
it as prinrn faclo evidence that the company
proposing the construction , of this now
brlnge Is not sure that it will provide rail
road facilities , and the senator says
that if n now brldgo Is constructed
it must hrivo railroad as well as otiioi facili
ties so as to permit all railroads to enter
Omaha upon an equally just , basis. Senator
Mandorson believes that the bill can pass
congress at this session , nnd he Is determined
to make a strong pull in the senate at once.
Tin : iiou.NTr of .MAPLE SIHIAII.
The bureau of internal revenue is having a
great deal of difllculty in arranging for the
payment of the bounty on maple sugar.
Unclor the provisions of the McIClnley bill
every farmer who manufactures moro than
llvo hundred pounds of maple sugar annually
may collect a bounty of ! , & per cent upon
maple sugar that Is over 80 per cent pure ,
and 2 cents per pound upon thut which is 90
percent pure. But there are a great many
dinicultics In the way of carrying out the
law. In the first place the statute Itself Is
ambiguous regarding the time when this
bounty shall commence. , It provides in ono
place that the bounty can. bo collected upon
all sugar manufactured after April 1,1891 ,
but in another placo. where it provides for
> themoney-tcupay tbe < bounty and thorex-
po'nsos attendant thereto , the appropriation
is not made available until July 1 next , so
that it would seem impossible for the presi
dent to appoint deputy collectors before July
'
1 , 'although they must enter upon their duties
April 1. Another dilllculty in the way of
collecting the bounty Is found in making the
polarlscoplc tests. A deputy collector will
evidently bo obliged to go around with a
polariscopo in his buggy from house to house
during the sugar season and personally ex-
amlno the whole make , or the farmer will
have to bring samples to the olllco of the
nearest collector of interim ! revenue. Then ,
again , there are no provisions for protecting
the government against fraud. No man can
collect the bounty unles ho manu
factures moro than llvo hundred
, pounds a year , but there Is nothing
to prevent a neighborhood ot farmers club
bing together and pooling their sugar so as to
produce the limit Jointly In the name of ono
of their number and dividing the bounty
after it Is paid , nor is there any way to pre
vent a farmer'from buying up all the syrup
in his neighborhood and manufacturing it
into sugar. There are also a number of
other dinicultics In the way of n successful
enforcement of the law which the ofllclals of
the internal revenue bureau nro now using
all their ingenuity to overcome.
THK INDIAN nEl'IlEIUTIONS DILL.
In tne senate today during the morning
hour Senator Paddock called up the Indian
depredations bill. Senator Cockrell of Mis
souri objected to Its consideration because
ho said it would occupy moro time than the
ilvo minute * allowed for debate and that it
would bo impossible to do Justice to a subject
of this importance In that timo. Senator
Paddock persisted nnd won the fight. The
bill was taken up and discussed for flvo min
utes and then went on the calendar ns un
finished business , where consideration may
be resumed nt any time ,
The committed on Indian depredation
claims was organized with the present con
gress for the purpose of considering specially
the various bills on the subject which had
been introduced from time to timo. Immedi
ately upon thu organization of the committee
the bills were taken up and discussed. It
has been generally believed that the creation
of some special commission or tribunal to in
vestigate the Indian depredation claims
would prove the surest nnd quickest way to
tnoir payment , but a bill was finally formu
lated during the last session of the senate to
impose the duty of Investigation upon the
court of claims nnd conjointly upon the fed
eral district nnd circuit courts under cer
tain limitation. In the tnoantiino the
house was considering the same sub
ject and finally passed a bill
providing for the creation of an independent
tribunal , which , when It came to the senate ,
was referred to this special committee ,
which , after considering , reported it back tc
the senate with the senate bill as an amend
ment in the nature of a substitute therefor.
Senator Paddock is not altogether satisfied ,
and although acting as chairman of the coin-
inlttco In the absence of Senator Moody , ho
had charge of the subject todav. Ho gave
notice whllo the bill was under discussion In
the committee that tie would reserve the
right to offer and vote for amendments. The
bill limits the time beyond which in the
past the courts may not go to the year
1SC7. mid no claims can bo considered whlcl
shall not hnvo been presented formally to
congress for adjudication before the passage
and approval of the bill. The senator pro
poses an amendment to this by fixing the
date for the beginning of those claims back
1S59 , and ho also proposes that ninety days
after the passage of the bill shall bo
given for claimants to lllo their Claims
Another amendment desired by Bon
ntor Paddock relates to the pay
ment of claims already adjudicated
Under the act of IBT'J the secretary of the In
tcrlor Is authorized through the Indian ofllco
and special agents to investigate depredation
claims and report the sair.q to congress
whether allowed or disallowed , Abou
15,000,000 of these claims have been reported
Senator Paddock Insisted in the committee
that Immediate provision should bo made in
Uils bill for tliObO adjudicated claims , Uo
has had a conference since the bill was con
sidered this morning with Senator Plumb ,
who will propose such an amendment ns that
outlined before each of the amOndmontts will
bo supported by Senator Paddock and other
members of the depredations claims commit
tee ot tbo senate ,

XOFUUEIUL AID rcm senuASKA.
If the Nebraska legislature , as reported ,
asks a SI , 000,000 appropriation from the gov
ernment to rcllovo the dUtross among set
tlers la that state , It will bb doomed to great
disappointment. Such a bill , whatever the
amount named , would most certainly fail to
secure enactment into law. During the last
year of Cleveland's administration ho vetoed
a bill calling for $10,000 fordrouth sufferers
In Texas and was sustained by congress on
the ground that the national government has
no power to make appropriations for objects
local to tbo states. There la , no possibility of
securing aid from the treasury for Nebraska
sufferers. It Is hoped that the senate agri
cultural committee amendment to tlio agricul
tural bill drafted by Senator Puddock , which
calls for nn expenditure of 'i Oi OOO , may become -
como a law when tacked into the appropria
tion bill because a veto of that Item would
mean a veto of the whole bill , but this Is the
fullest possible extent of uongiesslonal aid ,
Even this Is hold by many df tbo strongest
senators and representative to bo a decided
wrenching of the constitution in the line of a
federal interference entirely unwarranted.

Mu.wAUKnii , Wis. , Jan. 10 , Just seventy-
two operators and station agents employed
on the lines of thu Chicago , Milwaukee & St.
Paul system quit work today. General Man
ager Enrllng says the road Is prepared
for any emergency , and nt every station
where an operator quit work another
is ready to take his place , so that the tele
graphic business of the road suffered no de
lay. Earllng also says that of the men out
nine nre employed in Illinois , sixteen in Min
nesota , ono In Dakota and forty-six in Iowa.
In Wisconsin not a single man stopped work ,
atid moro than half of those who did are em
ployed on the divisions in Iowa. The mon
involved in this affair really had
no grievances and were deceived by
the order of railway telegraphers. There has
boon no reduction in salaries , but simply an
equalization. It is stated that of the forty-
six Iowa men who went , out , thirty-four were
employed on the Council Bluils division. At
some of the lowastatlons thu wires have been
tampered with and switches loft open , but 110
serious delay lias-resulted from this.
It Is claimed by the representatives of the
operators that ono of the ofllclals' clerks sid
ing with the strikers carried a telegram to
the strikers' headquarters this mornlnir on
the sly which announced a largo number
qulttlntr.
A dlsnatch from Kansas City says the St.

received no word of operators having re
signed. The Kansas City division Is work
ing all right. The local operators are work-
Ingns usual this morning.

said :
"So far as San Salvador is concerned ,

jut not so with Guatemala. That nation Is
still smarting from the sting Inflicted by
Snlvador. General Barrlllns Is devoting his
entlro energy to recruiting the army and
wringing it up to a high point of excellence.
The army is in a better condition to light than
Salvador's , hut Salvador ib not likely to suf-
Tor , because , as I have good reason to bollovo ,
she will not bo compelled to go Into another
light unassisted. Jnaword , n secret treaty
is nearly completed between Snlvador and
Mexico , whereby the latter will lend any ne
cessary assistance to Snlvador to crush the
Guatemalan forces. It is too bad that this
disturbance should arise just on the eve of

"I've shot a man , Ed , Take my gun anil
call a policeman. "
It was In KO. Goldsmith's lunch room nt
) H5 o'clock last night that young Pat Ford
nado the above remark to the proprietor at
the conclusion of n row that will probably re
sult In the death of ono of the participant ; ,
William Dovnuy , n waiter.
It appears that young Ford , who had boon
Irliildng , went into the chop house and de-
nanded a lunch for which ho said ho could
lot pay. Dovnnoy , who was attending the
counter , refused to nccomodato Ford , who
became abusive and llnnllv applied an epithet
which Uovnnoy roscntcd by a blow.
The men clinched and several spectators nt-
ctnptod to separate them. Before this could
30 done Ford drew a revolver and , placing
the muzzle of it against Uovnny's breastfircd
and Dovnny fell.
t
Ford was placed under .arrest by Officer
iyan nnd , with his vlctlin.removod to the po-
Ice station.
IV. Gaucn was summoned to attend Do-
vnnoy. An examination showed Unit tho-
bullet a DS-cullbro had entered the
wounded man's left hroast about two Inches
above and a Ilttlo to the loft of the heart. A
H-oblng failed to locate the course of the
jail. Dr. Gapcn turned the man over
and found tlio ball lodged Just under the skin
n almost n direct line through the body from
the point of entrance.
The bullet was removed and was found to
bo badly battered , having apparently struck
n rib in passing , but the contact was not
sufficiently strong to dcllcct the course of the
jail very much.
"It is just possible , " bald Dr. Gapen , "that
the bullet may have struck a rib and gone
around vital parts , but that can only bo told
jy results. Tlio present Indications nro that
: ho bullet passed directly through Dovany's '
body , in which case there Is hardly n hope to
bo entertained of his recovery. "
When Dovany reached the station ho was
conscious and inniio a clear statement to Cap
tain Mostyn , lie said :
"Ford cnmo In last night and stood mo off
for a lunch. Ho came again tonight and
wanted me to trust him for another luncK
nnd I rofusod. Ho then became abusive nnd
finally struck mo. I returned the blow , and
ns ho rushed at me wo clinched. Then he
shot me. "
Ford was seen In his cell nnd gave his ver
sion of the affair. Ho took matters very
coolly and did not apparently realize the seri
ousness of the crime with which ho was
charged. He said :
"I went in and nskcd Dovany where Gold
smith was. Dovnny said ho did not know
nnd nskcd mo what I wanted. I sold I wanted
a lunch , nnd ho said ho would not glvo mo
ono. I said 1 would not tuko one from such
of a . . as ho was , and then bo
struck me in the taco and I struck him back.
1 was only In fun when I commenced joking
him. Ho-came from behind the counter then
nu'dkoptistriklngtinoiuthofaco > I bad my
loft'ariaffup ovorm.v'evo to'protect-nniyaulI
and with my right hand I drew my revolver
nnd ilred. "
These nro the stories of the principles In
the affray. Four other eye witnesses , Ed
Goldsmith , Emmil Mlles , J. S. Ward and J.
II. Gardner , were In the room at the time of
tno shooting nn J were all held as witnesses.
Their statements are somewhat conflicting ,
but in the main features support Dovauy's '
version of the affair.
Dovany Is a young man , perhaps twenty-
two years of nee , nnd has been In Omaba
about a year. Ills homo Is nt Gate City ,
Woodson county , Kansas. Ho has the repu
tation of being n very quiet , hnid working
young man , who made few acquaintances
and quarrelled with no one.
The report 6f the shooting created consider
able excitement on the street. Young Ford
Is well known ns tbo son of Henresentatlvo
Patrick Ford , ox-councilmnn , nnd the lender
of the Third ward democracy. The elder
Ford is now in Lincoln attend
ing the legislature. lie was apprised
of his son's deed by wlro last night nnd will
como homo on the first twin today. The boy's
mother was completely prostrated when slio
was informed of the affair.
No charge has been placed against Ford on
tha rcglbtor at the jail. Ho will bo held to
nwalt the results of Duvnny's ' Injuries.
