BUFFALO NEWS NOTES.
Wholesale Horse Stealing and Monster
Mastodon Teeth.

From the Buffalo Echo.
G. D. Forrest, from the upper end, was
down this week and reports an almost
wholesale stealing of horses, which has
occurred within a few weeks. He him
self lost eight head Of blooded stock while
Mr.. Smith lost twenty; Mr.. Morrison,
forty-one; Mr.. Danley, eight, and two
others in the neighborhood are missing,
making in all s~eyenty-three head between
Gilman and the Montana line.
We were shown a tooth last week by
John Powles, which he found along the
banks of Clear creek, below this place,
remarkable for its size. The face meas
ured p by 8 inches, while its length is
fully five inches and may have been
much longer. 1t was a grinder and
showed that the animal was 4 grass eater.
1t is possible that the animal itself was
fully twenty feet in height. 1t is more
than probable that it belonged to the
~mastodon, several thousand years extinct,
Quite a quantity of bones, the remains Of

county of late and as digging increases
more will be brought to light. They are
usually imbedded from fifteen to twenty
feet.

The Mercury Dips Down to Thirteen
Degrees Below Zero.

1t was quite a chilly day yesterday and
very few people seemed disposed to loiter
about the street corners to talk tariff or

THE CHEYENNE INDIANS.
How They Appear to the EsthetIc senses
of Editor Morrow.

From the Buffalo Echo.
Nearly one hundred Cheyennes during
the week were oscillating between Fort
Mckinney and Buffalo. They embraced
warriors, squaws, papooses, cayuses and
dogs. A more wizzened up set of human
beings could scarcely be found anywhere.
As most of the squaws did not seem more
than half clothed, for a pinching cold
day, their faces presented a more than
usually wrinkled and savage aspect. Ex
cept an occasional article of white mans
clothing, they were in a decidedly print
tive state, and several of the bucks. in
fantasticalncss of rig, could have wed
with Dan Rice in his best days. The
Cheyennes are about four hundred in
number, and have two chiefs, White Bull
and Two Moon. The former was here
and is a fine specimen Of the Indian, and
is particularly at home on a square meal.
As usual they were busy bartering small
articles of their own manufacture. In
front of our office, where a party had
stopped, we saw one little act of gallantry
We did not expect. A young squaw. evil

win the Rate be- Lowered.

CHICAGO, December l6.-The North
western Railway lines held a session this
morning, taking up the question of re-
ducing the rates from Northwestern and
Western points on grain and merchandise
in view of the prevailing low price of &C.
reals and in Difference to numerous appli-
cations, and possibly also in Difference to
a movement actually inaugurated in Iowa
to this end. Nothing definite was ac-
~complished, the sentiment of the meeting
being somewhat averse to any immediate
reduction in heexisting tariff. The sub
jcct, however, will be further debated be-
fore any definite vote will be taken. A
proposition was also made before the
meeting of issuing passes to manufac-
turers at competing points, but this being
in direct violation of an agreement only
recently entered into, concerning the pass
system, it was vigorously opposed, ono of
the roads declaring that if it was adopted
it would proceed to issue trip passes and
ignore the recent agreement.

Suit for Libel
And In Doing So Snarls at the

The Blaine Suit Ended.

INDIANAPOLIS, December l6. - Mr..
Blaine this morning dismissed the suit
against the Sentinel in the United States
Court. The principal ground was that he
could not get Justice in Indiana. 1t was
set for trial the 2Sd inst.
The following is Blaine letter to his
attorneys ~instructing them to dismiss the
case. Washington. D. c., December
10, 1SS4.-Messrs. Harrison, Miller &
Elba, Counsellors at Law-Gents: When
l requested you in August last to bring a
suit against the publishers of the Indian
apolis Sentinel for libel, l did so in the
belief that the wrong done me by that
paper, being entirely Of a personal and
domestic character, could be fairly tried
without undue influence from political
considerations. l confess ] was profoundly
amazed to find the matter at once taken
up and the libel reproduced with all DOS
sible exaggeration in every Democratic
paper in Indiana. Except from three
members of the Democratic of that State,
1 never heard that a word of dissent or
disapproval was spoken. while the great
mass of Democratic speakers repeated the
libel from every stump in Indiana with
vituperative rancor, with gibe, and ribald
jest. 1t was thus made, so far as any
matter of the kind can be made, an issue
in an exciting political campaign and the
Democrats OF the State were thoroughly
poisoned in their minds in regard to the
question to be decided at law. Under
such conditions it is simply impossible
that | can have a fair trial or that | can
expect any other result than
that which informally attends a
political libel suit growing
out of an exciting campaign in this coun-
try. If l were unfair enough to desire a
jury composed of my own partisans, |
could not have it. A properly constituted
jury in Indiana would be composed of
members of both political parties in about
equal proportions. When l visited Indi-
ana in October l was repeatedly advised
that six Democrats could not be found in
the State, who, in a political suit. would
give a verdict against their leading party
organ. This did not necessarily convey
an Imputation upon their personal integ-
rity as citizens, but simply that the blind

The Exposltion opened.

WASHINGTON, December l6.-Invita-
tons sent out by the Secretary of State in
the name of the President for the cere
monies in Washington in connection with
the opening of the Worlds Exposition,
at New Orleans, named the hour of 1890
p. m. as the time when the formal exer-
cises at the Executive Mansion would
begin. Before that hour this afternoon
one hundred and fifty or two hundred in
vited guests, comprising some of the best
known people in Washington and includ-
ing a large number of ladies, assembled
in the spacious east ROOM" where the
ceremonies were to take place. The room
appeared precisely as usual except that on
the eastern side, near one of the central
windows. stood a small mahogany table
bearing a telegraph instrument and that
behind it on an easel was a large picture
of the New Orleans Exposition buildings
and grounds, beautifully framed in fresh
rosebuds and carnations interviewer with
smilax and maiden hair ferns. The
frame was surmounted bya floral scroll
composed mainly of white carnations, upon
which the words, 40 the President"
appeared in red and blue immortelles.
At the telegraph instrument table sat
Mr.. NJ. Marean, Manager of the Western
Union office, who was to manage the tel
egraphic part of the ceremonies. 1t was
expected that the signal from New Orleans
announcing all in readiness would be
given promptly at ! O'Clock, Washington
time, or noon by central
meridian time in New Orleans.
Instead it was $50 O'Clock when the sig
nal was received. This was followed by
the transmission Of President Richard
sons address, followed by a suitable re-
ply by the President, which was tele-
graphed to New Orleans. Remarks were
then made by Senator Logan on behalf
of the Congressional Committee. At the
close of the remarks the President, at ten
minutes past 3, touched the button ofthe
instrument and started the machinery in
the Exposition Building.
