Returning Scouts Report.

Special to the Globe.
BATTLEFoRD, May ia party of
scouts under Ross, who went out two days
ago, to discover the direction taken by
Poundmaker, returned to-day. They went
beyond Cutknife hill, failing to find trace of
them. Returning yesterday afternoon they
came across the trail of Poundmaker's out
fit They were travelling eastward, driving
cattle with them. The Indian camp was
discovered on the verge of Eagle hills,
about thirteen miles from here on the open
prairies. The Indians struck camp and
moved further eastward this morning
and are now on the east side of
the Swift Current trail. Scouts
also found traces of small outfit
which had passed in from the east to Cut
Knife hill. This is believed to have been
Rieps emissaries to Poundmaker asking aid.
If this is so Poundmaker is likely going to
Duck Lake, ignorant of RielS defeat. Many
well informed believe that Poundmaker
has by this time taken up a strong
position in Eagle hills, where he can cut OFF
our supplies by the Swift Current trail. THE
fact that he captured the supply teams and
fired ON the police yesterday shows that his
men were On the trail all day, probably
waiting their prey. The most difficult
position to dislodge him from in any event,
Eagle hills is likely to be the place where
final resistance will be made. They must
soon learn of Rieps defeat and return to
Eagle hills if they have gone East. The
scouts saw no trace of the captured teams,
and the fate of the teamsters is still un-
known. The wounded are doing well.
Middleton is expected here in few days.

SOUTHERN BLOOD UP.
A Democratic Fighter in the Sunny
South on the War Path.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D.. c., May 15.-The
split between the factions into which the
Louisiana Democracy is divided widens.
Senator Eustis has gone to Rome, but the
fight is being carried on from his side by
James G. Houston, who makes an elaborate
reply to the recent statements
by Senator Gibson, Representatives
Floyd King and others. Houston
says: ST am prepared to prove that Gibson
has been since 1870 an office seeker, and he
has always been elected by ballot-box stuff
ing. l charge and can establish that w.
D. Kernochan, whom Gibson had appointed
naval officer, is a peeler of the worst de-
scription; that during one of Gibson's cam
paigns for congress he hired a steamboat
and brass band, loaded the boat with the
worst toughs and hoodlums he could find
in the slums of New Orleans and
transported them to a point in another
Plaquemine) parish. There was free
bar and free lunch, and in recognition of
this picnic the ruffians drove away the hon
est voters, captured the poll and carried the
parish for Gibson. God save the people
from such reform. No where, save in
Washington, would the charge be made
that have slandered Gen. Gibson. No such
charge is made, because I would pile
up the evidence so high that
when got through it would look like
mountain of corruption. This last attack
on me think was inspired by the Louisiana
sweeping militia general, j. Floyd King,
who, see, is in Washington He never
had command, but got his title from Gov.
Johu McEnery, who was de jure governor
in 1S72-76, and gave away commissions
quite freely. / have been told by gentle
men, who will substantiate their asser-
tions, that King attempted, while a
candidate for congress in the Fifth Louis
lana district, to lead the white men in their
struggle to protect their wives and daugh-
tiers from outrage at the hands of negroes,
but that when the actual fighting began he
went to the campaign committee with tears
in his eyes and asked them to accept his
resignation. They told him to calm him
self and go home, which, 1 am told, he did,
crawled under the bed and pulled the cover
down to the floor on the side nearest the
door, remaining there until danger was
cover. A general, forsooth. am lost in
surprise, that he should indulge in the criti-
cism upon bulldozing and ward politicians,
when he.has never been honestly elected to

Growing Impression that Arrangements
for Peace Are Likely to Fall
Through.
Assertions Made that Russia is to Make
Demands that England Cannot
Grant
Other DISPATCHES Lead to the Belief
that England VIII N Consent
to Anything.
Announcement Made in the COM
mons that Russia Has Not let
Answered Last Proposals.
The Situation,

LONDON, May 15.-The admiralty has
countermanded the order to discharge the
naval reserves. and there is growing i'm
preston that the arrangements for peace
between England and Russia will fall
through. 1t is stated on authority that has
heretofore proved reliable, that Russia re-
jeets the propositions of England on the
frontier question, and intends to make de-
mands that it will be simply impossible to
grant. Russia has gone on preparing for
war, and is putting everything into the best
possible shape for conflict as fast as
possible.
