furnish additional details of the premature
explosion yesterday. The President and

seconds after it was submerged there was q
terrible explosion. Everybody was startled.
Lieut.. Totten, in charge Of the battery, said
he had not fred it. It was subsequently as
certained the battery exploded itself, The
President and everybody felt they had =
narrow escape, and were truly thankful the
torpedo did not explode on deck. Mrs. SEN
ator Hawley. the only lady on hoard, was
very much excited.

The coal mining troubles at Hooking Val
Icy, Ohio, which have prevailed for two
months, have broken out more impetuously.
The miners have Union and are opposed TO
the working OF Swedes or other non Union
men whom they designate as "blacklegs."
There were Ill Of Plnkerton's men guarding
the Snake hollow and Longstreet mines and
on Saturday night they were attacked by
some three or four hundred masked or black
ened men. The guards, who were armed
with 10 shooting rites, opened fire and 1t
was weakly responded TO for nearly an hour.
After the firing, O'Hara, The Captain Of the
Snake Hollow Guards, was found dead with
several bullet holes In his body, and two
other guards were wounded. If any Of the
rioters we're injured they wore removed.
The sheriff Of Hooking county telegraphed
Governor Hoadley asking for troops to pro-
tect the jail aud save further bloodshed, al
leging he was worn out with two months
incessant duty. The sheriff Of Pekin also
asked Tor troops. Governor Hoadley imme-
distely called out several companies Of mill
tia and placed them at points ready for trans
portation TO the scene Of the troubles. He
then, on Monday, went to the mining dis
tricts, having previously asked the leading
miners 10 meet him, and consulted with them
on the situation. They protested there was
no occasion for troops and he exacted from
them promises TO support the civil authori-
ties or he would order the troops In. He
seems TO have acted with excellent judgment
In the matter and It may be further blood
shed will be averted.

The Starving Piegans.

HELENA, Aug. 29.-Gov. Crosby states
that the special agent sent by him TO inquire
into the condition of the Piegan Indians, has
just returned and found that these Indians,
about 1900, are dying from the effects of
gradual starvation at the rate of one q day.
The men and women are gaunt and spirit
less, and the children emaciated. All are so
weakened by the lack of sufficient food for
the past two years, that dreadful suffering
and death will occur shortly. The appro-
priations for this year only permit the agent
to issue two pounds of beef and three
pounds of -four, entirely inadequate 10 sup

an unnatural and inhuman state of affairs
existing, and calls upon the Secretary of the
Interior to assume the responsibility Of issu-
ing full rations until Congress meets In De-
cenber.

THE Chief Of Police, Pttsburg, recently
ordered the Austro-H Hungarian Consul to take
down his flag, acting on the authority of city
ordinance prohibiting the hanging out Of
swinging signals, etc. The Consul did not
take down the Gag, and would have permit
ted the matter to drop, interpreting II as an
act of the Chief of Policies ignorance of the
treaty right to display flags, which happened
TO be on the occasion of the Emperor's birth.
day. The Chief Of Police, however, was
obstinate about IL and brought suit against
the Consul for dIsobeying his orders, and the
matter has therefore been taken up by Baron
ScbaeiTer, the Austro Hungarian minister.
Secretary Frelinghuysen has called Governor
Patterson's attention TO 1t, and he has In
turn called on Mayor Fulton, of Pittsburg,
TO explain matters In way to smooth the
thing over. But the Mayor says he was
absent when the flag was ordered down, and
will consult his lawyer before taking any
action. At the bottom Of 1t, probably, is an
inimical feeling toward the Consul, grow ing
out Of the importation of the Hungarian
miners aud their employment In Pennsylva-
MIA mines. The Mayor Is doubtless now

CAIRO, Aug. 27.-~Major Kitchener tele-
graphs FROM Dongola that sry brought In
reports that Gordon gained . great victory
over the rebels on Aug. IL, and two rebel
leaders were killed in the engagement.
Rumors are current that Egypt has notified
England she Is bankrupt, and since yesterday
she Is unable to meet current expenses.
Cen. wolseley's appointment is due to the
statement thst Gen. Stepbensou's plan Of
the campaign via the Nile is impracticable.
The rebels attempted to capture Khartoum
on the 12th inst, and continued the attack
until the 14th, when Gen. Gordon clevsrly
outnanked them. Many rebels were killed

dition by November 7. He declares with

THE BLAINE LIBEL SUIT.
The Defendant Wriggiing to Get Out of Very
Small Hole.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 31.--Late last even
ing the defense in the Blaine libel suit filed
demurrer to the complaint, alleging that 1t
does not set forth facts sufi cient TO constitute
cause of action. Miller & ELAN, attor-
neys for Blaine, appeared in court this morn
ing, and by agreemen. argument on the
demurrer is set for Tuesday next. 1t Is said
the answer Of the Sentinel company has been
prepared, and that the defense will not wait
to be ruled to answer by plaintiffs counsel.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. IAN argument
was made in the U. S. District Court, Judge
Woods presiding, on demurrer filed by the
Sentinel company to the complaint Of James
G. Blaine, charging libel. Attorneys for dc.
Tense commended: First, that the description
Of Blaine In the alleged libelous publication
Is not sufficiently specific, and might have
referred to some other Blaine. Second, the
publication was in the nature of an inquiry.
Third, the article was not libelous In itself,
and Blaine, In order TO recover, must sue for
special damages. Attorneys for Blaine re-
ported briefly and Judge Woods took the
matter under AMUSEMENT. 1t Is not known
when his decision will be given.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Sin the United
States District Court to day Judge Woods
overruled the demurrer filed by the defense
in the Blaine Sentinel suit. The attorneys
for the defense appeared and announced the
Sentiners answer will be ready to morrow,
and Blaine's counsel waived the formality
Of the ruling of defense to answer. The
Sentinels counsel say they will not possibly
be ready for trial before November, for the
reason that most Of the witnesses live at a
distance from Indianapolis and great deal
of work will bs required taking dispositions.

rally here to-day. The City Hall was packed

and observation Of the practices Of the Dem
scratic party in Congress aud the country
has demonstrated to my mind that the safety
and the welfare Of the people Of the United
States continue TO demand its exclusion from
power and authority. Whatever doubts or
difficult les may embarrass eur countrymen
here and elsewhere, 1t seems to me, In the
present attitude Of political affairs, the defeat

to any other. 1t has been wrong for more
than quarter Of . century, and feSr will
continue so for as long time to come"

AGENT ALIENS PLAN.
"If the Supply Runs Out the Responsibility
May Rest Where it Belongs"

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 3l.-In regard to the
reports of the distressed condition Of the
Piegan Indians, acting Indian Commissioner
Stevens to-day stated that the Indian Office
Is In no wise TO blame for this condition Of
affairs. At the last session of Congress, the
Commissioner had requested an appropria-
ton of S75, 900 for the maintenance OF these
Indians; this amount, in the opinion of the
bureau, being the smallest sum that would
suffice for the purpose but the House cut
the estimate down to $4,000. The Senate
increased the appropriation to $4,000. This
money, although used TO the best advantage,
is not enough to feed the Indians during the
year. On August IS Agent Allen made the
following report on the subject: 'Under
date of June 4, 1854, l wrote your Office
reviewing the estimate for supplies made by
my predecessor, JohL Young, for the year
ending June 80, 1885, and showed that the
amount Of meat estimated for was only one
fourth the quantity required, and of -four
only about one-third the quantity required.
He asked for 100000 pounds of beef gross,
and only 10000 pounds has been purchased,
less than one-6fth rations, or less than five
ounces per day for each person. The -four
purchased for the current fiscal year gives
less than six ounces per day to each person.
On such an allowance, having nothing else,
how could they avoid starviug7 photographed

issue only that amount, the needs would not
be met; but 1 am issuing more than that,
and will continue TO do so while have it on
hand, for these Indians shall not die of star
walton while have anything to give them.
II the supply runs out the responsibility may
rest where II belongs. At present there Is q
great abundance of berries, and these help
to prevent starvation, for the Indians gather
and eat them in great quantities. But the
berries will soon be gone, and then there
will be nothing but meat and -four.

The Democratic papers that are extolling
ConkliRg on the presumption that be will
not speak for Blaine, had better 60 slow.
That he is personally unfriendly TO Blame
may be true; and If the campaign runs as it
does now there will be no occasion for him
to bear hand. But II matters get bad, as
they did four years ago, and Conkling's SER
vices are needed for the success Of the Re-
publican party, he Is likely to come to the
front and make speech that will make Dem
ocrats wish Cleveland and Hendricks and
George William Curtis had never been born.
Conkling is a Republican, ana the ablest
man in the United States. He has grew
ance that he ought not to have, but 1t is not
big enough TO keep him quiet If be Is needed.

NEW York, August 27.--The Commercial

tention to the following facts as possibili-
ties: While the prospects Of the Republican

namely: This campaign Is not to be mere
child's play. Republican hand organ, may

HENDRICKS GREAT BIG SPEECH.

The Democratic campaign In Indiana was
opened last Saturday night with hundred
speeches. Mr.. Hendricks, the candidate for
Vice. President, made the speech at Indian
apolis. Coming from that source 1t would
properly be looked 10 as the main charge Of
the battle-as q political revelation from
which the pop-gun orators all over the land
would get inspiration and ideas. II the rea-
sons he offers, which are not fallacious,
fimsy and easily controvertible, are all, or
the strongest, why the Republican party
should 20 out and the Democratic party In,
then we think q dsinterested judge would
say promptly-Mr. Hendricks, you have not
made out case. We confess disappoint-
ment. The Republican party Is either bet
ter than we thought IL was, or Mr.. Hen
bricks is OF able TO draw an indictment
showing Its dement's. The front Of the ar
gument accusing the Republicans party Of
keeping up war taxes and thereby accumu-
lating q dangerous and evil surplus In the
Treasury Is mixture Of sophistry and mis-
statement, The war is over, but portion
of the war debt remains and any surplus that
remains is applicable on this. 1t Is our duty
TO keep paying that debt instead of having IL
hang, . burdensome legacy, upon posterity.
The World spplauded France for rapidly ex-
her war debt, but candidate for
the second Office In the United States seeks
the vote of Americans by complaining Of
taxes which are honestly collected and ap- |
piled to the payment Of our war debt, Be-
side, succeeding Congresses have diminished |
and annulled the war taxes until now tax |
for revenue Is only levied on such necessities
rs whisky and tobacco. Mr.. Hendricks sor-
rows over our little navy when IL Is an un.
disputed fact that the Republican effort last
winter to improve It was killed by the Dem
ocratic House, on the thin pretext that the
would not judiciously expend
The money. These are the main arguments
be oiIers--the tariff and Martin-Kosta-Mc-
sweeney portions being only special appeals
Tor votes. 1t looks ~ though the Demo
,rats would have 70 fall back on Cleveland's
etter for campaign material.

THE political campaign as developed to
date points to Joseph K. Toole, Esq, of Hell.
ena. and G. w. Stapleton and Samuel Word,
Esqs., of Butte, being the most prominent
candidates for Delegate before the Demo-
cratic Convention. Mr.. Toole will have
considerable strength, but his candidacy is
weakened somewhat by the sentiment that
the West Side Is now entitled to the nomina-
ton. Those mentioned as Republican can
dldates have not so we'll defined their
strength, but those most prominently men
toned are A. G. Botkin, Esq, of Helena,
Hiram Knowles, ESQ.,, OF Butte, and A. F.
Burleigh, Esq, of Miles City. We do not
know, in fact, that any Of these gentleman
are candidates, but each has friends who
would be glad 10 support him.
