At a cabinet session Thursday the India

At a cabinet session Thursday the Indian
situation in northern Montana was the sub
ject of discussion and it was unanimously
agreed that every precaution should be TAX
en- to prevent hostilities. As asequel to this
decision positive instructions have been sent
out from the war department to prevent
Gen. Miles from bringing OF an Indian war.
He is CURLY informed that the only purpose
in sending him into the Indian country was
to protect the navigation of the Missouri
river, a fact which the fighting general
seems to have overlooked. There is good
reason to believe that before these instruc.
tions reach General Miles he will have pre-.
cipitated a conflict. His own official report
Of his first fight with the Indians has been
telegraphed to General Sheridan, of which
the following is the substance as given to a
Chicago Times reporter, at Sheridan's head
vuarters:
Col. Miles says the enemy numbered foul
hundred warriors. The Indians were pur.
sued twelve miles, when the troops in ad.
vance became surrounded, which neceesita.
Ted q rapid forward movement of the main
command. The commanding officer says the
troops fought in admirably order, and are
entitled to much credit /; also that the action
of the Cheyenne, Grow and Sioux scouts was

quite satisfactory. Several hostile indians
were killed and the remainder were forced
to abandon a large amount of property. He
reports that Sitting Bull is now encamped
on Little Rocky creek, just north Of the line,
and he thinks it possible that the main body
of his Indiana may be engaged at that point
Col. Miles telegraphs that he expects to
move against the camp of the hostiles.
It appears from this that Sitting Bull is
on the Canada side and there is a SUPPOSE
ton that Miles may cross the line in pur-
suit Of the Indians, if he fails to receive the
war depsrtment's caution. General Sheridan
was asked if Miles would be permitted to go
upon Canada soil, and his reply was, II
would rather not say anything on that sub

A correspondent Of the Chicago Times
says that the administration Of the interior
department by Secretary Schurz is the
source of considerable adverse comment in
Washington. The mis%management of In
dian matters is the text for the numerous
complaints arising, the public having dis
covered that no improvement has grown
out of the s%tupenduous reforms (?1 institu'
ted by. Hayt and Hammond. The case o
DR.. Livingston is cited as an evidence o
the incapacity of the Indian branch Of tn
service and its disposition to persecut
rather than prosecute. If the Times cor
respondent will dig down into this subjec
he will unearth a great many things of un
aavory odor.

Especial to the Omaha Bee.]
Grand Island, July %, 5 p. ma special
messenger who has just arrived from the
northern part of the state brings intelli-
gence of a desperate fight between a body
Of detectives, consisting of w. H. H.
Llewellyn of Omaha, Hazen Of Pappillion,
and another whose name is unknown, and
four of Doc Middleton's gang, on one of
the branches of the Long Pine, near the
Niobrara river, about 40 miles from this
place.
1t appears that a we'll laid scheme for the
capture of the outlaw and his band had
been perfected, and the detectives, after fol-
lowing them up for some time, came upon
them Monday. One of the party drew a
6ne bead on Middleton and would have
probably terminated his career forever,
had not the weapon failed to 60 off. This
gave the outlaws the advantage, and they
returned the fire with interest.
A number of shots were fired by both par
ties, and when the smoke of battle had lifted
it was discovered that the effects were alike
disastrous to both detectives and outlaws.
Hazen had received three shots, one through
the right side of the neck, one through the
upper portion of the left arm and the third
through the body just below the ribs, the
latter bullet coming out near the backbone.
The wounds though serious are not danger
GUS. The detectiYe, whose name was not
learned, escaped to a belt of timber close by
and succeeded in eluding pursuit, reached
Columbus. Llewellyn it is thought also es.
capped and went for a detachment of soldiers
encamped about forty miles from the scene
of the fight. Hazen also reached a place
of safety.
The redoubtable Middleton was the mos,
seriously wounded, a bullet entering the
right groin and lodging in the thigh bone
BE was unable to escape or to be moved from
the spot upon which his followers at once en-,
camped. Middleton is in a hopeless condi
ton physically, but he is guarded by abou
sixty friends who have rallied to his pro
lection from all quarters. The entire coun
try is reported wild to protect the outlaw
and it is estimated that he can muster 20
men on short notice to defend himself agains
any party sent against him. He will b
backed by ever thore who do not sympathiz
with him, as they dare not do otherwise
Llewellyn had authority to take any detaeh
ment of soldiers he may come across an
use them, and there is little doubt but h
has by this time attacked the Middletol
gang in their stronghold. There is in al.
about $4,000 reward offered for Middleton
and the intention of the party who met hir
was to capture or kill him.

THE WHEAT CROP OF NORTHERN DAKOTA
Fargo Republican .

The numerous readers of the Republican
in the states, we are aware. look with con-
siderable interest for the report of the
wheat crop in northern Dakota, which we
have faithfully and truthfully given from
time to time. 1t is now to be stated that
this great staple is so far advanced that an
unprecedented crop is assured. Harvesting
has already begun, and the wheat, both in
quality and quantity, exceeds the estimates
made by our best farmers. We have had
no tornadoes or hail storms to destroy the
growing crops. The weather has been, in
the main, cool and dry enough to prevent
rust. The chinch bugs are in lows, and We
shall send to market this year, millions of
bushels Of the best wheat in the world, the

The most important Indian intelligence
received since the recent outbreak of hostil'
tiles in the upper country came to Bismarck
last Wednesday by the steamer Eclipse, just
in from Fort Benton. As the boat wasround.
ing a point near the Muscleshell river about
seventy Indians rose up out of the grass and
made the air vocal with their yells. They
made no attack on the boat, but succeeded
in badly frightening a party Of excursion
lists on board, who were taking a trip. The
boat confirmed previous reports of skirmish.
es with Indians, brought the details of the
massacre of the Lambert family near the
Assiniboine camp at Wolf Point and Of a
possible conflict between the Assiniboines
and the Yanktonias and gave as a general
summary the information that the country
was alive with Indians. From the report
brought by the Eclipse it appears that par
ties of Indians from Standing Rock and Red
Cloud agencies are scattered all along the
river. If this statement is correct the move.

Mr.. H. e. Sargent, general manager OF
the Northern Pacific railroad, who lett the
city on last evening for st. Paul, permitted
q representative of the Times to peruse a
letter Just received from Mr.. Billings, pre-
sident of the company, enclosing . resolu-
ton passed at a meeting of the directors
held in New York OF the 10th inst, and
giving some points of information regarding
the new highway to the western sea. MI;
Billings states in his letter that the board
approved the action Of the general manager
in ordering the construction Of one hundred
new box cars. The directors, who are the
largest stockholders in the road, subscribed
for $4,000 900 of the bonds Of the Pen
d'Oreille division. The company has just
purchased 10000 tons of steel rails and fast
enings for this division in addition to 2,5OO
tons already shipped and Mr.. Billings
also states that negotiations are in progress
for the purchase of five thousand
tons Of steel rail for use on the
Missouri division, from Bismarck
westward. The company Is now using
eleven thousand tons of stee! rail in relay
ing the track on the Minnesota and Dakota
divisions. Another party of engineers Is
to be dispatched at once to locate the line
of the Missouri division between the Little
Missouri river and the Yellowstone. Mr..
Sargent assured the reporter that the pros

the road in Minnesota and Dakota was
