TEN THOUSAND BRAVES.
A Confederation North of the Canadian
Line-sitting Hull and Spotted Eagle
LargeIy Reinforced.
New York Times.l


CHICAGO, March 27-Information Of trust
worthy though unofficial nature, received di-
rect from Fort Walsh, in the Canadian
northwest territory, gives the outlines Of
the line. The intelligence has peculiar sig
nificance, coming as 1t does from O. post IN
the heart Of the Indian country, and where
communication with the tribes under Sitting
Bull and Spotted Eagle is of weekly !, occur cur,
Spotted Eagle have been reinforced by tho
lodges from the Missouri river agencies,
including those from Red Cloud, and it is
estimated that between 5000 and 1000 warriors
are within radius OF 100 miles from Fort
Walsh. Great numbers OF the savages are
reported as having been out after the buffalo
In large and small parties, and have APP
preached close to the boundary line. and have
undoubtedly roved south toward the Missouri
river, and it Is these which have been mem
toned in the recent dispatches from Gen.
Miles as having been seen by his scouts. The
Indians are reported as being very restless,
and under the circumstances members OF the
mounted police were to have kept the NOM
ster village under surveillance since the first
OF the present month. The troops at the
various posts have been advised con staTitly OF
all movements OF the Indians, In order that
the proper precautions. may be taken to pro-
that might happen to occur It is evident
that the Canadians anticipate trouble Of some
nature and which Is contrary to all the re-
winter. 1t was not believed that any of the
Indians north of the line meant trouble, but
that they had sought refuge ON Canadian soil
to escape further hostilities.
A grand council of the head chiefs was held
in the camp OF Sitting Bull during the last
week in February, when it was decided that
the Indians would resist the Buffalo law,
which weHt iHte effect February 15- Some 81
the head chiefs harangued the others for not
rising up and driving the white people out Of
the country. Sitting Bull is reported as
having counseled moderation, and as saying
that the white mother had proved TO be his
friend. He would not fight against the people
of the white mother. He breathed defiance
against the Americans, and said their soldiers
were on the Milk river waiting to attack his
people If they went in search Of food. He
could not keep his people quiet. He wanted
to know where the Long Knife (meaning
Major Walsh, commanding the main body
of the mounted police,) had gone to. He
wanted the Long Knife to come and tell his
people not to go to war. The Long Knife
had been his friend, and had told his people
the truth. Oulette, a half-breed, spoke in the
same strain. The Indians under Sitting Bull,
at the present time, number more than when
he met Custer on the Little Big Horn. He
could probably muster 10000 warriors with
out any great effort If he desired to take the
field, and this army would be splendidly
armed and equipped with all the munitions

WASHINGTON, March 2S-Mr Harrison,
chairman of the Committee on Civil Service
Reform, made frantic effort to-day to get up
his report relieving Doorkeeper Polk, but the
Democrats in the House voted almost solidly
against touching it, and Mr.. Harrison was
crowded off the floor In great rage. It looks
very much as ii the Democrats intended to
let Polk stay in for the present and give the
old man chance Or course the committees

posed to be Fatally Scalded.
Yesterday morning about Z o'clock the at
tention of our citizens was attracted by
loud explosion in the direction of McKu-
sick's saw mill. Following the explosion
dense cloud of smoke and steam was seen is
suing from the mill. The accident was
caused by the bursting of aue in one of
the middle boilers. This is new boiler,
just put in last spring. Competent judges
who were on the spot say that the iron is of
a poor quality and not fit for boiler use.
The engine had been stopped twice during
the morning in order to fix some bolts and
pulleys, and they were about to start for the
third time, when the explosion occurred.
The flue collapsed the whole length and
the steam es capped from both ends. In the
rear of the boilers the rock foundation was
torn up and scattered in every direction. In
front the damage was more terrible. Ed.
Smith, the freman's son, who was standing
on one side of the boiler, was blown through
the side of the building, striking against
2x4 cross piece. He was slightly hurt in
the side. The steam also scalded
him severely below the knee. 1t
SeoIiS udrVelOuS THAI ue eSCdpcu WITHOUT
farther injury.
j. w. Herring, who was driving dump
CART was in a direct line with the boiler. The
force of the steam threw the horse twice, but
he was only slightly scalded. He was also
cut in the neck by a fragment of iron.
Herring was scalded from the head to the
knees. In his agony and fright he jumped
over steep embankment into the lake,
which is about foot and half deep at this
point.
On coming ashore he was assisted to the
Cook house and placed in bed. Everything
was done to alleviate his suffering, which
was intense. It is doubtful if he survives.
His parents, who reside at Point Douglas,
have been telegraphed.
Boards torn from the mill in front of the
boilers were carried into the lake, over 100
feet distant.
Has. McKusick estimates the damage at
81 900. 1t will be some time before the
mill will be ready for work.

that their work will be fully completed by

is to find sufficient clerical assistance to

LOOK OUT!

Plan to See Both Fairs For Nothing! !!
Every day adds something to draw big
crowd to the two Minnesota fairs. Yester-
day the ground was staked out on which to
erect grand tower on what Judge Meeker
used to call "Capitoline Hill,'' midway be-
tween the two fair grounds and overlooking
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The tower is to
be in University park University avenue
on the high point two miles east of the
university tower.' The hill is three hun
dred feet above the river, and
tho tower to be fifty feet high,
substantially made and handsomely painted.
1t will afford visitors spectacle Of rare
and varied interest sure enough. The en-
tire city of Minneapolis is taken in with the
advantage of good light and excellent posi-
ton. Many of the fine edifices that adorn
the bluffs that surround st. Paul are taken,
as we'll as the two driving parks, fair grounds,
State university, Hamline university, Cath
Ollie Industrial school, st. Joseph seminary,
State reform school, Fort Smelling, Falls of
Minnehaha, the new tower on Smelling ave-
nue., Lakes Como, Harriet, Calhoun, and
splendid view of the Falls, the suspension
bridge, the Mississippi and Minnesota riv-
ers and portions of twelve counties, etcy
etc. 1t will be objected that sight seers can
take IN both shows without buying ticket,
but if Col. King and President Finch can
stand that a gratifed public will have to.
