Partial Consolidation Between the East
ern and Boston g. Maine Railroads.
BOSTON, Dec. A.-The Advertiser says nego-
tiations looking to the establishment of strictly
mutual business relations between the Boston
Maine and Railroads have recently been re-
Vived, and an arrangement satisfactory to all
parties will soon be arrived at. The general
features OF the plan include joint administer
ton OF the two roads under one manage
ment, so that all trains may be despatched
and fares regulated as one system. Wher-
ever the roads converge in the same town or
city there will be consolidation SO far as to
have but one station and one set of officers for
local administration. Fares to such points
will be the same on each road and tickets is
sued for these points over one road be equally
good upon the other.

Sitting Bull Coming t

Sitting Bull Coming to Negotiate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The following dis
patch has been received at the War Depart
ment: 4l- ~ tra - ?.
l-0.g ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec 20.
just received intelligence that Allison, q
scout, arrived at Poplar river yesterday even
ing on his way to Fort Buford with q delega-
ton from Sitting Bulls camp. Sitting Bull
himself was to reach the mouth of Milk river
to-day Allison will leave Poplar river to-
morrow. F
(Signed) TERRY, Brig. -GenI.
Allison, in his report, says the Indians are
like so many wild cattle. The least thing
would excite or stampede them. Gen. Terry
has ordered Major Ilges to preserve the most
thoroughly circumspect and peaceable attitude
towards the Indians until the end of the nego-
tiations for the surrender, and to avoid making
any display of his force as far as practicable
Whenever an opportunity offers he is to assure
the Indians of his peaceful disposition, if
they wish to surrender, and avoid alarming
them. Gen. Terry says the number and dis
position of the Indians, with the chance Of
surrender reported by Allison, win not warrant
too little precaution for some different course
the Indians might take in regard to the agency
or small force in vicinity, or change of mind
about surrendering. t5-rI

Howard, of Fall River, charged with perjury

A Lively Scene in the Brazilian Senate.
There was a lively scene in the Brazilian
Senate on the occasion Of the debate over the
bill for railroad franchise in the Doce valley
Senator Silverea Lobo made furious speech,
in which he attacked Senior Alfonso Celso, ex-
minister of finance, and asserted that he had
been bribed with shares to favor the Leopold
iona Company and of having received sic, 900
from an English gold mining company to stop
the execution Of a law imposing a tax of 20
per cent upon the gold produced. Senator Lole
shook his fist threateningly at Senior Cellso,
who sat quietly in his place until the charges
of corruption were made, when he sprung to
his feet and shouted. "You are scoundrel
and an infamous calumniator." An excited
scene ensued, and nearly every Senator sprung
to his feet. The President rung his bell VIC
lently and ordered the session suspended until
order was restored when Senior LoDo continued
his speech.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-Tne Ponca chiefs
to-day were examined by members of the COM
mission appointed by the President. They
told the story of their removal from Dakota
and of the hardships they suffered, but added
that the good time had now come for them !;
that they were entirely satisfied with the
land they now occupy and want to remain in
their present location. In answer to a ques-
ton whether this change of mind had been
brought about by any threats or promises, they
said there had been no Inducements of any
kind offered them, but they had considered the
matter among themselves and come to the
conclusion it was best for them to remain in
Indian Territory and to make their reservation
there their permanent home. They also re-
quested this determination on their part to be
communicated to Congress.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec 24-Fire was discoy-
ered,in the job printing office of the Free Press

tinguished it spread to the rooms of the news

Congressional Committee that these nine bags
here to New York by the committee for the
purpose of being franked in that city, and after
having been ranked were returned here in
order to be filed with printed documents for
distribution through the mails. From the
same testimony 1t appears that the Democratic
committee here was in the habit of sending
unfrankable matter through the post office,
this class of matter being done up in packages
with one or two congressional speeches in front
so as to deceive the post Office authorities as to
the true character of the packages. 1t is pro-
bable that the report of the investigation will
be sent by the Postmaster General to the House
