''" INDIAN BUREAU.
A Washington telegram of October 10,
declares that the Indian bureau is preparing
for the attack which is certain to be made up
on it as soon as Congress meets. The advo-
Gates of the transfer of the bureau to the war
department will take advantage of the Ute
outbreak to urge the necessity Of an immedi-
ate change in the Indian system. One of the
arguments which will be used is the charge
that the Indian bureau was advised in time
of the imminent danger of an outbreak on the
part of the Utes, but delayed calling for
troops for. the reason that it was hoped that
the difficulties might be averted, and because
there was a strong desire not to;seem to be
upon the military in the conduction
of Indian affairs Secretary Schurz and Com
missioner Hayt, however, will undoubtedly
claim that the delay in going to the relief of
Agent Meekel, if there was any delay, is not
to be attributed to the Indian office or to the
interior department. =

ion rendered in the United States circuit court
for the western district of Wisconsin, by JUS
tice Harmon of the supreme court of the
United States, Judge Drummond of the United
States circuit court and. Judge Boon, of the
United States district court, in the case of the
Chippewa mill owners vs.. the Mississippi
River Logging company, AID Beef Slough
Boom company, involving the right of the de-
PENDANTS to run logs down the Chippewa riv-
er, and to maintain booms, dams etc., in the
Chippewa river and Beef Slough. In the pre-
7ious suit brought in the name of the United
States against defendants, the latter demurred
to the complaint and Judge Drnmmond sus.
tanned the demurrer to the amended CON-
plant was also sustained by the demurrer
but gave leave to amend, and defendants de-

mill owners then took a new tack and induced
one Edward Herman, proprietor Of steam

asking an Injunction restraining the Logging
company from running loose logs, etc, on the
ground that it was prejudicial to navigation
on said stream. This is the suit which has

ends the litigation.
TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A severe and frightful accident occur
red on the Michigan Central railroad, short
distance from Detroit, Mich, on the 18th inst.
The Pacific express train, bound west, which
left Detroit forty minutes late, collided with a
switch engine on the Michigan Central road
at that place, telescoping the baggage and
express cars, and piling the remaining
coaches eleven in number on top of each
other. The first coach was filed with emf
grants, most of whom are killed or seriously
injured Many occupants of other coaches
were also killed or injured. It is supposed
there are about twenty to twenty-five passen-
gers killed and twenty to thirty wounded.
The majority of the number is thought to be
emigrants and second class passengers Ply
sicians and surgeons were summoned from
Jackson to the scene of the disaster, and
special train carrying physicians left Detroit
at 8 NJ A large force of employees of the
railroad company, together with large num-
Of citizens Of Jackson, arc on the ground ex-
Treating the bodies from the wreck Railroad
officials and surgeons are busily engaged
among the wounded, doing everything in
their power to alleviate sufferings. Among
the injured was Mrs. j. F. Pannell, of St. Paul,
head cut, and her son, E j. Pannell, leg broken.
AS near as can be ascertained the accident was
caused by the switchman having charge Of
making up freight trains at Jackson Junction,
occupying the main track with the switch
engine and caboose, understanding that
the Pacific express was considerably
behind time. the express train, however,
had made up nearly all the lost time.
