GENERAL TERRELL DYING.
His Physicians Agree that He Cannot Survive
for Many Hours.

General w. H. Fl. Terrell, for many years a
man of prominence in the public affairs of lndi-
ana, is dying. He has been in bad health for
the last several years, and during a part
of the time he has been wholly IN
able to endure any laborious %exertion.
He became broken in constitution from the
effects of a severe cold, caused by being caught
in a rain shower, resulting in the development
of consumption, which grew upon him until
the emaciation reduced him to a
ghost of the vigorous physique which
he once possessed. He has been secretary of the
Republican State central committee since 1882,
and the duties of that position have been rather
a severe tax upon his energies. He
was at the committee rooms last
Monday, attending to his correspondence,
but complained of feeling worse than usual, and
the next morning he was unable to rise from
bed. His condition has rapidly grown worse
since, and yesterday he was unable to speak, his
tongue having become paralyzed. His physi-
clans think that he will not live many hours
longer.
General Terrell has lived in Indiana since
1928. and has been one of the most prominent
public men in the State. He was Adjutant gen
eral for several years, and the official reports
WHICH he puD1Sneu during the une tnaO ne Heiu
the Office are among the most reliable documents
that belong to the State archives, while the vol
ume on Indiana in the War is the only com
plete and reliable history of the part taken by
the soldiers of Indiana in suppressing the re-
bellion. During the administration of General
Grant he has Third Assistant Postmaster
general, and later he was the United States
pension agent in this district, in addition to
which he was held a member of other prom
inent public positions. 1t was his
intention to have written a history
of Indiana, but his feeble health
prevented him from applying himself to the
work. There is no man better prepared or quail
fled for such an undertaking. as he has given
much time to research into the early history of
the State.

The Overland Telephone Company.

The suit brought by the Bell Telephone Com
pany against the Overland, " noted in our col
umns last week, does not seem to have had any
material effect on the latter's organization. The
parent company in New York have retained
Harrison, Hines & Miller to defend the Indiana
company, and, inasmuch as the courts of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey have refused to inter
fere in any manner with the business of the
Overland in Philadelphia and Newark, it is fair
to assume that the Indiana Overland Telephone
Company has come to stay. We are reliably
advised that a company is now being formed
OF the preliminary arrangements are being
made-to operate an exchange in indianapolis
and unite with it the eight counties surrounding
Marion. From the character of the men en-
gagged in the enterprise we navo NJ aesSot of its
success, and will hope soon to congratulate the
public upon their release from the monopoly.

Kew. Mr. MdDleS resignation AcceDbeus
At the close of the prayer meeting services
at the First Baptist Church, last night, the pas
tor, Rev. H. c.. Mabie, addressed a few words to
the congregation regarding his resignation OF
this charge and the acceptance of a p~astorate at
his former home, Belvidere, Ill. He again ex-
planned that the change was made on account of
his failing health and a knowledge that he could
not longer do the work of this large congrega-
ton. 1t Belvidere, which is the home of his
trusts that he will be able to regain his health
and be given strength for greater usefulness.
Bidding the congregation good night in order
that the report of the committee appointed on
the 9Th inst. to confer with the pastor regarding
his resignation might be read and acted upon, he
retired and the Rev. Henry Day was called to
the chair.
The committee reported that they had con
ferred with the pastor, and there had been an in
terchange of views, resulting in the convincing
of the committee that it would be right to accept
the pastors resignation. and they recommended
to the church the adoption of the following reso-
luton:
That while we greatly deplore the apparent neces-
sity, on account of his impaired health, we accept the
Rev. H. G.. Mabie's resignation of the pastorate of this
church, the time of service to expire with the present
month. D.. M. SUTTON,

When President Harris, of the North
ern Pacific, was at St. Paul he was
interviewed at length by a Pioneer Press
reporter, and, among other things, he
was referred to the extension of the road
to Portland o. Puget Sound and there
connect with a line of ocean steamships
to Japan. It has since transpired that
three months ago the Northern Pacific
sent a trusted agent to Hong Kong to see
how much business could be diverted
from the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany to a proposed line to connect at
Portland or Puget Sound with the
Northern Pacific. The agent has made
a favorable report and sufficient capital
has been raised in London to establish
the enterprise. For the present the
company will charter a lew ocean
s'tramps," of which there are plenty in
and around Hong Kong, and will proba-
bly, begin the shipment of tea next
month. 1t is claimed that the route be-
ing much shorter to New York than the
Pacific Mail, all tea trade must neces-
sarily come by the new route.

THE Pioneer Press, referring to the
IIuiy,
ALEX. c. BOTKIN.
e. S. Marshal

The Pioneer Press, referring to the
deplorabIe condition Of the Blackfeet
Indians, makes the following plea for
them, and urges the department to
overstep its authority, if needs be, to re-
lieve these starving people: "They have
than a ledge of gold would help a miner
starving in lsome lonely gulch. What
they need is an extremely moderate
support from the government, sufficient
to supply their present needs and to
give them a start for the changed future
they are forced to- face. This has not
been given. The agency warehouses
are empty. stores and appropriations are
exhausted, and congress has adjourned
to visit the circus at Chicago. Mean
time Women and children are starving,
and men are considering whether they
had better suffer this fate with their
families or make a raid upon the nearest
settlers and perish by the speedier agen-
cy of the rifle and bayonet. This is the
inhuman tragedy which is being enact
ed in the far west, as the continuation
and natural sequel Of our Indian policy.
Surely the government at Washington
would be held guiltless were it even to
overstep the bounds of its authority, if
necessary, in order to make some pro-
vision through these months of hard
ship for a starving and desperate peo-
pie; and it need not fear that the ma
ton, when it comes to understand these
facts, would not justify and uphold such
action.n

The Blackfeet Indians.

Writing to the Sun, Major Allen, the
agent, has the following in reference to
affairs at the agency, setting forth that
an outbreak on the part Of the Indians
is not imminent:
It is true that the Piegans have not
nearly the amount of food they should
have, and it is equally true that many
have died Of starvation; but it is not
true that they have threatened to MUIR
der the whites. They are in no condi-
ton to go to war, for few of them have
arms and less have ammunition. Be-
sides this they well know that, should
they attack the whites, they themselves
would receive 10 quarter. They fully
understand their weakness, and it is not
at all probable that they will indulge in
the pastime of killing a few white peo-
pie when they know the terrible punish.
ment that would be inflicted upon them
for such indulgence. IF | felt that there
was any danger of an uprising | would
not only send my wife and little ones
away, but would advise the removal Of
the other white women who are here;
but I do not think there is any danger.
Z hope that the settlers in the vicinity
will find out the truth and cease to be
uneasy as far as the fear of losing their
lives is concerned.
