English organization, is declared by its

Sunday Amusements.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 8.-All the theaters,
concerts and other places of amusement
which have been in the habit of giving
Sunday performances for a long time
were closed to-day by order of the police
commissioners, and last night two or
three places attempted to resist the law,
but they were fOrcibly closed, and about
fifty persons arrested. 1t is estimated
that from three to five times as many
people frequent these places on Sunday
as attend church, and public sentiment
seems to favor closing them. The pro-
prietors say they violate no law in keep
ing open, and intend to test the action of
the police in the courts.

Indignant Irish.

nation meeting was held here to-day by

guard over the Herald Office to prevent
its being demolished. Maggie has re-
ceived many threatening letters. The
circulation of the paper has quadrupled
since the conflict began.
The Indian Humbug.
Los PINOs, Dec. 9.-Saturday at I2
O'Clock Jack, COlorOw and twelve other
White River Utes, took seats in the coun-
Gil, Ouray being among the Indians
present. When the Indian commission
AAOu SlhCh lhCll oCllo, dll-
dressed the Indians, setting forth fully
the demands of the commission, Its
right to make the demand and saying
that their patience was already exhaust
ed with the Utes. Today" he said,
"is your last chance. We will wait no
longer for your final answer, and we
want no evasiOns." A list of the Utes
charged by the agency woman with tax
ing part in the massacre was then read.
Hatch then asked the following question:
will you surrender the men whose
names are on this paper, to be tried, and
if guilty punished. and if innocent ac-
quitted"'
The question was put twice, and after
consultation evasive answers were re-
turned both times. When the question |
was repeated the third time, Ouray replied |
without consulting the other Utes:
"How do we know that these Indians |
you name were at White River at the |
time of the massacre? Or, even if they |
were there, we do not know that they !
we're concerned. These women mention |
ed names which first came to their lips, |
they knew them to be guilty or |
not; we cannot depend on what they say"
That is what We depend on said |
Hatch. Adams then addressed the In
1ians, making an address of one hours |
duration, saying among other things,
hat the commission did not want to
punish Colorow, Jack and others that
.ook part in the ThOrnburg fight. but
he cowardly dogs who participated in
he massacre of unarmed men at the
agency, closing by saying: I'VE want
hese Utes, and we will have them"
The Indians held a consultation in a
Ow tone of voice, among themselves, but
lid not seem inclined to reply at all.
When Hatch again arose he asked if the
,uilty Indians were to be surrendered,
aging that he made the last appeal. No
me moved or spoke for moment, when
Iolorow lighted "A big pipe, the pipe of
'eace. Each Indian present drew his
.nife and laid it on his lap, and the
question of peace or war being then pend
ng, Colorow passed the pipe to the
ext man without smoking, and it went
round. When the circle was finished,
e jumped to his feet, Strengthened him
elf to his full height, pulled his belt
round until the knife sheath was in
with force on the floor quivering and
inging. Instantly every Indian present
ropped his hand TO his hilt and laid his
and on his knife or pistol. The whites
id the same, and the two parties stood
icing and defying each other for some
loments, each waiting for the other to
lake forward move. There were but
x white men, while there were twenty
We Indians in the room, and fifteen sol
iers in an adjoining room. Finally
'uray spoke as follows:
