fuii and compiets understanding between Crozier and Sitting Bull before the latter left Canadian territory. It Is now ascertained that Sitting Bull has acted in bad faith all through the negotiations, and that he was principally influenced by lingering hope of of the mounted police. Had Allison fs7 ceived your instruction to use great haste in bringing negotiations to speedy close in time, believe could have bagged the whole camp on the morning of the 11th inst When Sitting Bull once he started for Canada up Porcupine Greek immediately after his courier had left, showing thereby that he intended deceit and had no intention to surrender. Low Dog, the hostile who killed the mail driver Henry Frieze i'd July last, between Sarnail's station and O'Fallon Greek, is with Sitting Bull, and no doubt exercises bad influence; he being afraid of being punished f6r this murder when captured. The man Thompsoil's infiu- ence has been very bad throughout. He is the wheel of the camp, and his occupation is gone whenever Sitting Bull gives up. The column from Assiniboine might safely return without interfering with the success of fur ther movements, and the. detachment from the Seventh infantry pertaining to Fort Bu- ford can now be relieved, as have enough force to do what might be required of me"
 If Major I1ges is correct in his impression that the Canadian government has instructed its officers to deliver Sitting Bull and his fol- lowers upon a request being presented, think he should proceed at once to the bound ary line and ask that they be given up. but of course it is entirely beyond my province to direct such action. I ask for instructions, and that they be given as speedily as pos sib1e. sent this direct, In the absence of General Sheridan from his headquarters.

ssLord Dundreary's'' Last Hours-Going
 Down to His Grave Amidst Ills
 Friends.
 LONDON, Jan. 23.-The sudden death of MT. Sothern was not generally known among his friends until Friday, though his death occurred about o'clock on Thursday. He had been living in London at the apartments of his sister, Mrs. Cowan, at the corner of Oxford and We're streets. Two weeks ago he left London for Bournemouth, returning to town few days ago. He had been under the care of Sir William Jenner and Sir James Paget since his first arrival in London, and was only able to see his most intimate friends. Mr. Edwin Booth called few days ago and paid him long visit Mir. Dion Bouci- cault and other old friends were frequent vis- itors His malady was of very complicated nature. He had been great sufferer from cancerous affection for year past. month ago Sir James Paget called in the assistance of Sir William Jenner to discuss the chances of delicate operation Sir William Jenner, however pronounced against 1t, saying that cure was impossible and the operation would only give unnecessary torturs. Since Mir. Sotherns return to London the physicians have been in constant attendance. On Thursday morning the end was seen to be not far off, His entire system grad ually collapsed and he sank all day, until just at twilight he quietly pass ed away. the only people present being his sister and a servant It is estimated that his personal estate is not over $40, O00.

Heavy Mail Robbery-Nearly Two Hun
 dred Thousand Dollars Stolen.
 CHICAGO Jan. 23.-A heavy mail robbery came to light here to-day which the postof- fee and government special agents have been engaged upon since Thursday, but without results so far as known. It appears that the Michigan Southern train, with mail car at tached due here at 7:45 o'clock on Wednes- day. did not arrive until 10:5O p. m., and in consequence there were no mail wagons at the depot to receive and transfer the mail to the postofice The agent in charge of the car locked it, and going to the post office delivered his official papers, and secur- ing wagons returned for the mail One of the first pouches unloaded to the wagon was 8 special one containing registered letters and other registered valuables. The aggre- gate contents are said to be worth $1OO, ,OOO to $50, GOO. The messenger declares it was intact and all right when loaded upon the wagon and when delivered to the postofhce here. Between 12 and o'clock that night it was thrown into large safe and laid under lock and key until Thursday morning. When taken out large slit was found in the pouch, and a great portion of it's con tents had been abstracted. The messenger, the driver of the mail wagon, one of the rail road men and others who had handled the pouch were placed under arrest, but the greatest secrecy was maintained and nothing leaked out about the robbery until to-day. Postmaster Palmer is not in the city. His assistant, MT. Squires, admits that there has been a large robbery, but will give no partic- ulars, claiming it would defeat the efforts being made to apprehend the thieves. He, howev- -er, thinks the robbery did not occur in this city The pouch was reconstructed at Rochester and 8 special agent has been sent there to learn what were it's exact con- tents. Superintendent Rawlings, of the mon ey order department, says that seventeen packages were taken from the pouch, most of them consigned to this city, but few for Milwaukee, Omaha and Burlington.

when 1t was closed at bedtime, and that he had waited or q neighboring hill to witness the burning of the house The papets were not found at the point he indicated Little confidence is placed in any of his statements. I am not able to say how much further his torture has been proceeded with, and it is doubtful if 9 jury can be obtained in Flaw kins to tfy him.
 The conviction as to lis guilt may be said to be unanimous and the feeling against him is very great. No doubt is entertained that he will be hung for the coldest double mur- der and attempted cremation ever known in East Tennessee. Since his first torture it has transpired that contrary to his protesta- tlons he had taken the overcoat and pocket knife of one of his victims to Pumpkin Val ley and left them with his mother, where they were found There is no public cen- sure of those who have tortured him, for such is the feeling over the murder at mid night of all the males in the house and his attempt not only to burn their bodies, but to destrdy by fire the lives of two lonely ladies who were sleeping in the large mansion, and his confessed cool, deliberate perch on the wooden hill to witness the work of the flames. that his lynching would be witnessed without 8 shudder by the public.

E;xtorting Confession-Torturing a Mur- ,,derer to Acknowledgements of
 Crime.
 BRISTOL, Jan. 23.-The trial of Joe Harris, the alleged Marble Hall murderer, is set for Monday, at Rogersville, before Judge Hacker, but he has not yet succeeded in obtaining counsel, while numbers have volunteered to prosecute him. The stories of his legs burst ing from frost-bite during the recent cold weather are probably untrue, but that he has had to submit to torture since his first i'm prisonment cannot be doubted. Several at tempts have been made, with only partial success, to extort from him such confession as would lead to the discovery of more eyi- dence against him. On one occasion he was hanged and the rope broke, letting him fall After regaining consciousness he adpitted that he had lied, and proposed to tell the truth and show where he had deposited the papers from Browns pocketbook He said the implement with which he had killed Brown and Aeck would be found in the cis- tern, and that he was concealed in the house
