ALBANY, Feb IA.
The ice in the river as far up as the nail
factory still remains firm Notwithstanding
the pressure which must be on it from
above owing to the break at Troy. The
water has risen until it is now level
with the quay street dock in some places,
and the prospect is that If the present
weather continues the breakup is not far
off. Some ice bridges have already been
removed IN anticipation of the freshet.

The Indian Outbreak.
RED CLOUDS sos KILLED.

CHEYENNE, Feb. Ia,
A special dispatch from Fort Fitterman
says that d Cheyenne runner has just ar
rived there from Red Clouds agency, who
reports that Red Clouds son was killed last
Monday night by party of Sioux, whom
he had compelled to return stolen goods.
Nearly all the Cheyennes and Sioux have
left their agency, and with $50 lodges are
within ilf,, miles of Fort Fitterman and
will come in or send tn that post. The
runner reports plenty of buffalo in Big
Horse county and thinks the Sioux will so
there. Two companies of cavalry were
ordered from here to Fort Laramie.
THE REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
The interior department believes the state
ments regarding difficulties with the Sioux
to be greatly exaggerated. The principal
cause of hosilties is the failure of the de-
partment to furnish tribes who have gone
on the war path with their accustomed sup
plies, but this is due to the delay of con-
gress to make the necessary appropriation.
The specific appropriations from which the
supplies have been taken are already used
up, and there is deficiency for the remain
der OF the year of 100000 for Indian
service.

ALONG TIE DOCKS.

At noon the water was about ten feet
over the docks, and was rising. The ice
is piled up in masses opposite the city, and
indications are that it will remain where il
Is, the wind having shifted to the north
during the morning. Merchants owning
warehouses along Front street, began re-
moving goods likely to lie damaged by
water as soon rs the breakup commenced,
and so far we have not heard of any great
damage resulting, although, as has already
teen remarked, the extent of the damages
cannot be ascertained until the water re-
cedes Saxton & Thompson had II quaint
~ of flour stored on the dock in rear of
their store, but succeeded in getting it near
ly all 10 place of safety. The water rose
eight feet in ten minutes after the breakup
The water has backed up in the Monroe
street sewer, and the meadows and lower
streets down town are flooded, The flour
mills at the dam have been compelled to
stop running, on account of the high wa
water.

After the ice stopped moving this morn
ing it piled up in masses about the boats
belonging to the bridge company. During
the afternoon men who were on the boats
succeeded in crossing on cakes Of ice to the
east shore. Alexander j. Swift, civil en-
gneer of the bridge company, was the last
man to reach the shore. The boats car
ried away comprised floating pile diver,
coal boats, floating derrick, tug, and stone
boat, all of which except the tug will
probably be destroyed.
After the ice broke up the water rose ten
feet in as many minutes. The breaking
was caused by the ice coming down from
the Mohawk and lIoosick rivers. The
water is now receding and all danger of a
frcshet is supposed TO be over.
