Yesterday,s Big Speech.

Washington, May 16.-Judge Thur
mans speech in the senate yesterday,
gave great satisfaction to his party
friends and is unanimously regarded as
a very strong, effective presentation of
the democratic argument in support of
the political clauses Of the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bills, to which it was mainly directed.
Although Senator Thurman condemned
with great severity what he considered
an injustifable exercise of power in re-
gard to the army bill, he did not sug-
gest that supplies should be withheld as
a means of overcoming it.
His speech in all was calm and argu-
mentative effort, which brought back the
discussion to the merits of the questions
involved in the pending controversy,
without making any threats or indulg-
ing to any offensive extent in partisan
Oratory.

Indians ON the Niobrara

Omaha, May ia letter dated
o'Neil City, Neb., May 18th, was re-
ceived here to-day by George Berry,
proprietor of the Elkhorn valley stage
line, from one of the drivers, stating
that large number of Spotted Tail
Indians are on the Niobrara river, and
that one of McCann's herders had just
been killed. Capt. Munson, United
States army, with company of SOL
diers, are on the Niobrara The killing
of McCann's herder occurred on May
9TH. He was pierced with five bullets
and expired instantly. This trouble
grew out of the stealing of Indian po-
nies by white men, and in the pursuit
they mistook McCann's herder for one
of the thieves. There is no danger to
the settlers as the Indians only want to
recover their stolen stock, and in the
pursuit secured one hundred and eigh-
ty-five head that white men had run off
from the Rosebud agency.

One Mistake Of Moses

San Francisco, May 16.-A Walla
Walla dispatch states that a council
was held on the steamer Northwest,
between Moses and other Indians and
Gen. Howard and Gov. Ferry. Moses
said the reservation they are going to
put him on is not the one he asked for
and that was given him, yet his own
map showed where he marked out the
place himself that he desired and which
was given him. Mclean, the interpre-
ter, says he agreed, in every particular,
to accept the reservation laid off for
him between the O'Kanogan river on
the east and the Cascade mountains on
the west. Moses says he wants the
Colville reservation, for that is what he
went to Washington for. Secretary
schurz has been telegraphed to for in
strnctions. Meantime the Indians and
the civil and military party will pro-
coed to Kittitas valley and wait reply.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 16.-Yesterday
afternoon, Edward Kinlain, of the
South Side, buried a little daughter
who had died the day before. A lady
named Rogers, who had had quarrel
with Kinlain came to the house of
mourning, but as soon as Kinlain saw
her he became very angry and ordered
her out of the house. She went home
and told her three sons about it and
they started for Kinlain's. The coffin
had just been put in the hearse and the
father of the dead girl was just step
ping into carriage when the three
Rogers arrived. They caught hold of
Kinlain and gave him fearful beating
and then the funeral procession started
off. All three of the assailants have
been arrested for aggravated assault
and battery.

New York, May l6.--A special from
the City of Mexico, gives n lengthy in
terview with Gen. Frisbie, formerly of
California, in which he says: The pres
ent annual production of the Mexican
mines is about S25,0O0,OO0. l am not
aware of any shares in Mexican mines
being placed upon the market in the
United States. If mineral wealth of
this country were understood in the
United States, mining enterprises
would doubtless be regarded with ia
vor. He mentioned mine, in which
shares which were selling in June 1877
at $4,000, were now held at 10000,
requires from $25 to $50, 900 to sink "a
shaft 5 to 800 feet. The metal is gen.
orally found il at all, in paying quanti-
ties at depth of 200 to 900 feet. Most
of the mines in Mexico are worked in
primitive manner, machinery being
employed only to limited extent.
American machinery is used only in
the northern states, and is supplied
from San Francisco. English machin-
cry is good, but he considers American
better for gold and silver mines

Horrible Infanticide.

Boston May 16.-The domestic en-

day morning gave birth to child in a
barn on the premises, and threw the
unwelcome visitor through a trap door
into the manure heap below. The un-
natural mother went about her work as
usual, and her deed would not have
come to light had not the infants
voice been heard by parties who noti-
fed the authorities. The babe, when
taken out, had lain five hours in its fl
thy bed. The mother and child were
sent to the aims house, and the local
reporter gravely adds: No criminal
intent to bury the child is charged to
the mother.n

Rebellious Students.

Dover, N. H., May 16.-In conse-
quence of the refusal OF the faculty of
Dartmouth college to allow public read
ing in the college church last Friday
evening, the students assembled before
the residences of President Bartlett and
Prof. Lord, blowing horns and singing.
Saturday morning there was an up
roarous demonstration at prayers. Since
then the faculty have been making in
vestigations, resulting to-day in the ex-
pulsion Of two members of the senior
class. Much feeling is manifested by
the students over this action, and the
classes are holding meetings to consider
the matter. This evening, two stu
dents who are supposed to have given
the faculty information respecting the
demonstration, were taken to the
pump and given soaking. One of
them fired revolver, but no one was
injured.

in chair facing three guns, distant
about three feet, without either BAN
daging or closing his eyes. His wife
spent last night and up to within half
hour OF the execution with him. The
scene of parting was very affecting.
He made short speech expressing
thanks to the officials and others stat
ing that he had no i'll will towards any
but one person, who had sworn falsely
on the trial, and he hoped that God
would forgive him. He babe all good
bye, shook hands with few of the
officers and. others, and then took a
position on the chair, and at signal
from the marshal three concealed
marksmen fired. He leaped from the
chair exclaiming, Oh! God, fell forward

That Everlasting Bill.

Washington May 16.-The time of
the senate was occupied again to-day
by a discussion of the legislative, exec
utive and judicial appropriation bill.
Speeches were made by Eaton, Conk-
ling, Herman, Voorhees,, and others.
There is a strong disposition on the
part of a majority in the senate to dis
pose of the bill tomorrow, but it seems
hardly probable that the debate upon
its political clauses will be completed
before next week, especially as Blaine
intends to speak tomorrow and will
doubtless say something calulated to
provoke immediate replies from great
er or less number of democratic sena-
tors.
