than the usual employment Of military
couriers sent from Post to Post, with the
attendant risks of life and property. The
necessity for prompt intelligence along
this range Of military Posts cannot, in the
judgment Of your committee, be question
ed, and the line will greatly benefit and ex-
pedite military movements in section
overrun with hostile Iadians, where troops
are constantly employed in checking dep
relations upon the settlers. ~
1.-The bill provides that private Dispatch
es Of lawful nature may be transmitted
over the line, when the same is not needed
for public use, at reasonable rates, to be es-
tsblished by the Secretary of War. This
will create, as your committee are advised
and believe, an amount of revenue at least
sufficient to keep the same in repair, if not
more. The rules and regulations govern
ing the use of the line are to be determined
by the Secretary of War, so that il will be
strictly under control OF the military all
thorities. Other departments of the Gov
eminent, and notably the Indian Bureau.
as suggested by General Crook, will be
largely benefited by the construction of
this line.
''Your committee, therefore, in view OF
the recommendations of the Secretary of
War, the General of the Army, Lieutenant
General Sheridan and General Crook, be |
lieve the construction of the proposed line
Of telegraph is military necessity, and
will accomplish desirable results OF value
70 the Government and to the people of
hat locality. They therefore recommend
he passage of the bill.''

The last and grandest entertainment OF
the season took place yesterday afternoon.
1t was an earthquake, in fact three of 'em.
for We felt three distinct shocks following
each other at intervals of perhaps halt an
hour. The last shock was the most severe.
The most remarkable thing about it was
that the ground opened about 200 feet
above the barricade for distance of 500
yards, revealing coal vein which crops
out from the lower (east) side of the fis-
sure at least five feet thick. An awful
smell ofsulphur was emitted, nearly sitting
every man in the garrison, at the same
time was horribly suggestive. and would
have converted even Bob Ingersoli had he
been here. Real estate is now quoted yerv
low at Glendive. No serious damage was
done except knocking the petrified soldier
off Of Glendive Butte. Poor fellow. he
was our protector all winter, while the
hostlles were crossing a short distance
above here, seeing him, of course they
took him for a Lookout and kept away.
Now there is no telling how soon we NAV
be jumped.-GLcndire Letter in Bismarck

The Indians Coffee and Sugar Ra.
tiOns.

Orders have been given by Mr.. Hayt.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, forbid
ding further gratuituous issue of coffee and
sugar to the Indians at their agencies. In
order to secure application to duty on their
part, he says that only as they work. and
in payment for their labor, will they receive
coffee and sugar rations in future. These
two articles of diet are known to have an
important influence with the Indians. and
Mr.. Hayt believes they will be likely to
form part Of the agencies employed in
controlling them. At the CHEYENNE
agency the plan is to be put into operation
at once, the Cheyennes being already cutie
restless and irritable because they are not
furnished with these commodities rs "a
tons, But the Indian Bureau is firm on
this point. Some Of the agents are much
exercised about this policy, because they
say it will cause war. Army officers also
agree that this plan of MIR. Hayt's is the
surest way to bring on war that could be

THE MONTANA AND DAKOTA ME.
ITARY TELEGRAPH LINE.

The Senate Comitthe on Military Affairs
to whom was referred the bill to provide
tor the construction, maintenance and CD
Grafton of a military telegraph line in Mon
tana and Dakota reported favorably on the
same. This appropriates the sum of $780,
zoo, or so much thereof as may be neces-
sary, for the purpose of constructing, OBJ
Grating. and maintaining, under the direc-
ton of the Secretary OF War, military
telegraph line from Deadwood, in the Ter
ritory Of Dakota, to Fort Ellis. in the
Territory of Montana, embracing by con-
nection the line Of military Posts at or
near the Yellowstone and Big Born rivers.
Gen. Sherman, in writing the Honorable
Secretary Of War, says: II most heartily
approve of the measure +
A telegraph line from Deadwood Citv. in
the Back Hills, to Forts Keogh, Custer and
Ellis, in Montana, would be most valuable
to the military authorities. Its mainten-
ance will cost less than the usual military
couriers sent from Post to Post, using up
and killing annually many horses. This
telegraph will furnish prompt intelligence
along line which must soon be occupied
by settlers, and will greatly facilitate such
settlement, soon to be followed by the
usual stages and travel.''
The Secretary of War. Geo. W. McCrarv.
concurs in the views expressed in General
Sherman's letter.
General Sheridan notices with pleasure
the Introduction Of the bill, and writes the
chairman Of the committee as follows:
If you can in any way expedite the mas
sage of this bill it would be of the greatest
to the military service and a
large economy in our expenditures, live
can connect Forts Keogh, Custer and Ellis.
1t will be OF great value in our military on
erations. The necessity for line of this
kind has been SO great that if could only
have gotten money enough out of our
army appropriations to have purchased
the wire and insulators and hire GOOD
foreman, l would have put the wire un
myself by the labor of the troops. and
would have had it built now.
am SO anxious about this line. or some
other line making connection with the
Posts named, that believe we could nut If
lp from Deadwood to Fort Ellis without
t. costing cent more than $4,000.
Gen. Crook writes In regard to this
'roject leg leave to say that regard it
S measure of public importance. In
Military point Of view it would be of In
value, and any reasonable sum
