Hard on the Agent.

WASHINGTON, Jan. % Red Cloud in an
interview to-day with the Secretary of the
Interior and Commissioner OF Indian Affairs
demanded the restoration of his horses or
cash. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs
remarked the whole number of horses taken
from the Siouxs up TO date is Z, 600, which
were sold for $40 400, and that the War De-
partment could not satisfactorily account
for the proceeds of these sales This fact, he
added ironically, was strong argument in
favor of transferring the Indien Bureau to
the War ID. partment. Red Cloud then said
want new agent. McGillicuddy is bad
man. He is quarrelsome and calls us bad
names. He says we are old women. He
steals our supplies. You do not make him
give vouchers for our supplies. You take
bis word and he steals from us.

A Political raaic in Frapce-Departuro OF


PARIS, Jan. 2I The Duclerc Cabinet is
virtually defunct The political psnic is
.nabated, and fnnd-holdeYs are throwing
their stocks in the market The want of a
guiding star is universally felt, and the pos-
sibility of military p-orunciaEsnto is
freely talked of. Throughout tho Bourgeois
class there Is reaction against the regime
of the doctors and Journalists. Ii is certain
that the Chambers viii adopt Floquet's pro
posal. Gambetta's death has thrown the
whole working machinery of France cut Of
gear. Late last night it was sscertained that
all the ministers, save Duelerc, Billot aud
Jaureguiberry. had resigned. although Presi-
dent Grevy personally pleaded with them
not to desert him.
The Bonapartist Deputies deny that any
of them will resign in order to create a
vacancy to be contested by Prince Jerome.
The idea of having Prince Jerome tried by
the Senate appears to have been aban6oaeo.
Ex-Empress Eugenie win leage Paris to
day for England.
The departure of Eugene attracted large
crowd, who evinced the wsrmest sympathy.
Grand Duke Constantine carried to her a
private message from President Grevy that
her presence in Paris was undesirable. 1t is
difficult to say whether her departure is due
to that message or 20 the persuasion OF her
friends, all of whom were grieved by her
impudent action. There was no deep laid
scheme in her coming, but, hearing OF the
arrest OF Prince Napoleon. she teiegraph5d
Rouha that she was coming with attendants,
and asked to have the same rooms occupied

Judge Gray's Decision Upon the Bell TeIe-
phose Patent.

BosToN, Jan. 24-Judge Gray, of the Uni
ted States Circuit Court granted an iDjunc-
ton against the Peoples Telephone Com
pany (Dolbear's patent) in favor of the Bell
Telephone Company. The stock of the lat
ter Company jumped from 800 share, at
the close of yesterday, to 1926 to-day. The
point of the decision Is that Bell was the
nrst inventor who successfully used the elec-
trio current for the transmission OF articu-
late sound. The differences of Dolbesr's
and Bells plans we're not such as to warrant
the former 10 claim the Invention OF the en-
tire system. The essence of Bells invention
consists not merely in the form of apparatus
he uses but in the general process or method
of which that apparatus is the embodiment.
The defendants have, therefore, infringed
Bells patent by using his general process, or
method, and should be restrained by iDjunc-
ton from continuing 20 do 50.

Md, Jump the Traek-FearfuI Loss OF
Life.
WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. GA special
from Keyser, W. Va, says one of the most
terrible and fatal rsilroad accidents
that ever occurred in this part of the
country happened on the Georges Greek
and Cumberland Railroad, running from
Cumberland to Lenaconing. To-day, it
seems three coal trains consisting of three
locomotives, fftyswe hoppers and seysn-
teen gondolaS, all ioaced, started from Cum
berland about O'clock this afternoon, all
coupled tosethe1 one engine in front
another in the middle and one in the rear
this being the safest way 20 get down grades
this bad weather, In going down one of
the steep grades about ten miles from Cum
berland, the train Started down the steep in
cline at fearful rate of speed. The train Kept
the track until they gotten to a trestle work
having a reverse curve, where ethefrOntengine
flew the track, dragging all the mer, sixty
nine cars and locomotives after it-all
going rolling and tumbling down a steep
hill, which was between eighty and one hun.
dred feet high QUITO the track of the Eek
hart branch of the Cumberland ard Penn
sylvsnia Railroad. The loss Of life is fear
found amid the wreck and more
missing. Each train consisted of a
conductor, two brakemen, firemen and en-
gineer, in ali fifteen human beings, not one
of which can be found alive to tell the fear
full tale. 1t Is supposed that other bodies
are either among the wreck or have jumped
to save their lives, and are lying
down the mountain somewhere, either dead
or badly hurt, and if expose ed to a night
like this will surely freeze to death. So far
/ am unable 10 give you names OF
the killed The loss will be heavy on the
read, it being recently built.
