INDIAN HUMANlTARiANS.

White Man t" be Tortured by savages.a
Washington, Oct. 1S-Secretary
Schurz before leaving Washington to-
day telegraphed as follows:
TO Gov. Pitkin, Denver, Col: If the
associated press reports that two COM
panies of militia have been started for
the Ute reservation to arrest Agent Ber-
ry, and that conflict between them and
the Indians is anticipated, it seems al
most inevitable that if this proceeding
goes on conflict will come. Such
force is not necessary to secure obedi-
ence to state process on the part of
government officers. and the government
of the United States will be entirely
ready to aid in enforcing such process
without an aggressive movement Of
state troops calculated to bring on dis
astrous conflict with the Indians. Any
prisoner arrested under process is enti-
tied to absolute protection against mob
violence, and the state authorities should
accompany any arrests bv adequate
guarantees of personal safety to their
prisoners. This being evident. there will
be no reason why the accused should not
willingly obey any lawful process, and il
they did not certainly the government OF
the United States would not counte
nance any such disobedience. most
certainly impress upon you to arrest au,
movements or conduct on the part o
the state militia which can possibly Leaf
, to so disastrous consequence as an In
dian war would be.

The storm which prevailed on Friday
afternoon and night was quite general
throughout Nebraska, and in some sec
tions very heavy fall of snow is report
ed, particularly in the Elkhorn Valley,
where the snow drifts in the cuts on the
Niobrara & Black Hills railroad were
piled up from seven to eleven feet high,
blockading the road and delaying the
trains The train due on Saturday, on
the st. Paul & Sioux City road, ran into
a big snow drift a few miles north of
Tekamal. and had to be shoveied out by
the train men, who accidcntly pulled the
rear coach off the track. The train was
delayed about five hours.
There was also a heavy snowfall on the
Republican Valley road. and between
Oceola and Stormsburg there were drifts
seven feet deep in the cuts.
The Union Pacific is clear, and trains
are all moving. Telegraphic communi-
cation was cut off during the storm. The
railroad wires were gotten up again as
far rs North Platte by Saturday night.
For twenty-four hours there was no tele-
graphic communication with points west
Of Columbus.

MINNESOTA, IOWA AND DAKOTA.
st. Paul, Oct. 1S.--The storm has not
been very severe ut st. Paul, and the alb
sence of telegraphic communication
prevents obtaining any. definite informa-
ton OF the condition of the country
north and west OF here. To-day is dry
and warm here, with the little snow on
the ground rapidly disappearing. Com
munlcation by telegraph III every direc-
ton is cut Off for a distance exceeding
twenty or thirty miles. All known of
southern Minnesota is learned from Mil
waukee. Nothing is known of the North
ern Pacific country yet, except the re-
port that the storm is more severe and
the snow heavier than was experienced
all last winter.
The arrival of delayed trains on some
of the railroads and explosion of the lines
by the railroad officials on others still
blocked furnishes more definite informa-
ton as to the extent and damage of the
storms of Saturday and Sunday. The
snow is mainly confined to the southern
part of the state, along the Southern Min
nesota road and Sioux City east of St.
james. On these lines the cuts are full
of snow, and drifts several feet deep are
on the track, and no trains have moved
since Friday night. On the Hastings
and Dakota the travel is prevented by
snow. East of Stewart on the northern
lines there is less snow, the detention ol
moving trains arising mainly from thu
disabling of telegraph lines by wind
Theirs is some snow, however, on the st
Paul, Minneapolis & Montana in th'
wooded country west of here, and on th'
Northern Pacific east Of Red river. Tel
egraphic services is still in crippled
state on all the roads. st. Paul was com
pletely issolated for twenty-four hours
and for three days has only had commu
nication with Milwaukee. Trains ar
now moving nearly on regular time O
all the roads centering here except tn
Sioux City l. Manitoba.

ed resulting from it are numerous, viii
