EVIDENCE a. to Gen. Reno

Evidence as to Gen. Reno.
Chicago, Jan. 15.-It is claimed by
the fgiends of Maj. Reno that yester-
days evidence before the court OF in.
quiry was important in that it shows
4 that Maj. Reno could not have heard
the noise of the skirmishing from the
position which he occupied when las 1t
will be attempted to prove by subse-
quent witnesses) he should have taken
a. hand in the fight.
The allegations of Whitaker. six in
number, and summed up as being gross
cowardice and neglect of duty, are be-
fore the court in the form of letter.
Lieut.. Geo. d. Wallace, of the Sew
enth cavalry, was the first witness to-
day, and was introduced by Recorder
Lee. He detailed the method of divid-
ing Gen. Custer's force. He said Gen.
Reno's forces, when they came upon
the scene, were exhausted through
swift marching, and when they met the
Indians, were overmatched for the
time and compelled to retreat.
Lieut.. Wallace testified that Custer's
command, on the 25th of June, at Lit
tie Big Horn, consisted Of II companies
Of the Seventh regiment. aud were SO
disposed as to march down the right
bank Of the river at about Eoon. Col.
Benteen had four companies, Maj. Reno
three, ana Gen. Custer the rest. After
the division of the forces Maj. Reno
crossed to the left bank, and the two
columns-Reno's and Custer's-moved
down a tributary to the Little Big
Horn, about -12 miles on opposite
banks. Then Reno recrossed, and they
proceeded together. Witness was rid
ing with Reno's command. The orders
given Reno were, that the Indians were
about two miles and a-half ahead, and
that he should ride forward briskly and
charge them as soon as he met them.
Again crossing a deep ford, they gal
loped forward with this command Of
about 140 men, who had been marching
three days and all the night preceding.
They We're exhausted and breakfastless.
Witness gave AN account of the Indian
village as being about three miles long
and of width ranging from 100 yards
to half mile. lie recounted the man.
oeuvres Of the savages as the troops ap-
preached. They didn't mass, but
skulked about in all directions. Reno
halted about $50 yards from the stream
near quick bend in the river. The
Indian village was beyond the beud
but oil the same side of the river. They
dismounted and advanced, when skir
mishing Immediately began. This wal
between 2 and 8 O'Clock, and some 30t
Indians were in sight. They seemed
perfectly informed as to the movements
of the troops for days preceding this
The engagement began and Reno, aftel
dismountlng, went back to see to thu
horses. After that the witness did moi
hear of him again until they began thu
retreat from the village. All the am
mrnition was gone from their saddles
before the retreat commenced. The re.
treat was ordered because they were Ii
danger of being surrounded on all side:
by the Indians, without any natural de
fenses. He did not see Reno until afte
he crossed the creek on the retreat
He last saw Custer after he gave th'
order to move.
The court decided to take all the tes
timony relative to the engagement tina

NEBRASKA.
Sum mary of the Situation.

l
Fort Robinson, Jan. 15.-There has
been a temporary calm in military
movements for the past ten or twelv.
hours. The fleeing hostiles entrenched
themselves on a mound on White Clay,
foiled the troops, and at night, there
being no adequate force to either force
them into submission or keep them
from running away, they escaped.
When the troops next came up with
the desperate band the latter had taken
possession of natural mounds Of pro-
lection on the north fork of Indian
Greek. Here the troops abandoned
pursuit yesterday and returned to Fort
Robinson.
To-day Gen. Crook sent positive or
ders that the pursuit of the Cheyennes
be continued, and company E, Capt.
Lawson commanding, left for the front.
Tomorrow company II, Capt. Wes-
sells commanding, will go forward to
join the forces, and under the command
of the last named officer the pursuit
will be resumed. The troops will be
supplied with six days. rations.
There are ffty-two bucks and but two
squaws and children in the fort prison.
Of these there are fourteen wounded.
One old squaw is dying tonight from
the effects of six gunshot wounds. The
captives state that while they had a
hand in planning the escape they are
yet opposed to returning to the hated
southern reservation; and here their
parents are buried and their children
were born. Thus far no order has been
received for their removal. Aside from
the Efforts the military made the night
of the escapade to restrain the Indians,
Ed. Cooke and Dick Deer were most
prominent in doing their share of the
killing of bucks. But one scalp is re-
ported and the credit of that is given
the citizens. Five soldiers have been
killed, or died from wounds, and eight
wounded. Thirty-two Indians, of
which TWENTY-FIVE were bucks and the
remainder women and children, have
been killed, and twcnty-six buried in
one common grave. 1t is believed that
about fifty Indians, including Dull
Knife have escaped. Wild Hog, Old
Crow, and one other savage are in irons
in the camp. one mile from Fort Rob-
inson.
The Sioux at Pine Ridge agency have
as yet made no demonstration other
than in indulgence in an exhibition of
grief over their slain relatives. 1t is
not believed among the army officers
here that an outbreak will be made,
but il no better management prevails
in restraining the Sioux from indulging
in q dance than was exhibited in
the capture.f the Cheyennes there can
be no safe predictions MS to the result.
The Sioux say they can feed the Chey-
ennes il the government can't, and
would scrimp themselves rather than
see their relatives starve. 1t will re.
qnire evidence to prove that the hostiles
were not permitted to escape.

Some Senatorial Stories.

New York, Jan. 15.-Collector
Smith, of Chicago, having arrived at
Springfield, there's some apprehension
in some quarters that his mission is to
defeat Logan and elect Farwell sena-
tor. The Times correspondent thinks
nothing can beat Logau, who it is
known is an anti-administration man.
The senatorial ight in North Caro-
lima has been unexpectedly ended by
the withdrawal of Merrimon, which
leaves the field clear for Vance.

COTTON wal once king for the reason
that it formed the bulk Of our exports.
Breadstuffs are now on top and propose
to stay there. But the rivalry is a good
one and interesting as well. Forty
years ago meats and breadstuffs made
a small show in the export tables of the
United States. Seven-tenths OF the
value Of agricultural exports, from 1886
to 1910, were made up of unmanufac-
tured cotton. Breadstuffs constitute
one-tenth during the same period.
Twenty years ago, with a large increase
oil cotton exports, the proportion be-
tween 1855 and 1860 was reduced to
six-tenths, while that Of breadstuffs
had advanced from one-tenth to Q
sixth. A great revolution has resulted
since that period. While the produc-
tion of cotton is greater than ever, and
its expectation equal to that of any
former period, the value Of breadstuffs
and meats exported has been for sever
al years a larger figure than the value
of cotton. In 1873 the value Of these
food supplies amounted to 1906, 000,o C0
of the 1886, coo, 900 of agricultural ex-
ports, and cotton s19l, 00oo, 000-56
per cent. against 35. Breadstuffs alone
produced nearly 81 per cent.

These figures are for 1878 in the
United States and for 1873 in most Of
the other countries. But that year
was more favorable for them in figures
than last year, since their herds are de-

other hand the annual increase In the
United States is immense and some fine
figuring Is necessary TO keep the run.
