Federal Officers Capture Heavy
Consignment Of Contraband
Opium.
PORT HURON, Mieh,, Dec. 15.-For
some time it has been well known here
and at other points along the border,
that big consignment of opium was
en- route through Canada, and that an
effort would be made to smuggle it
across the border somewhere in this
customs district. Yesterday afternoon
four custom officers were despatched up
the shore with instructions to look after
consignment of the drug, which would
be landed probably at Sand Beach, or
near there. The plans of the officers
were successfully executed, in so far as
securing the drug is concerned. but no
arrests have yet been made. The opium
was landed from little schooner near
Port Hope and hidden on the shore, the
schooner at once putting back to Can
ada. The officers found the opium last
night, but the confederate who was
guarding it escaped. The opium was
valued at about SIG, 600, and was brought
from Vancouver, B. G. 1t is believed
that Labelle, the famous snuggler, who
recently escaped from the United
States officials after he had been arrest
ed here and was being taken to Detroit,
was engaged in the present enterprise.
Arrests are almost sure to follow.

LONDON. Dec. l5.-Lord Salisbury

Lord Salisbury has resolved 10

Tory-Democrat leader, if not against

reference to the new Egyptian cam

50 far that he cannot afford to risk

There is no doubt that England alone

such conclusion of hOstilities. the
only complication involved in this mode

obstacle may be surm0unted by diplo-

Monday. John Coles, the librarian OF
the BritishGeographic society, expressed
his belief, in an interview this aft
ernoon that Stanley is prisoner in the
hands of the Mahdi. This theory, he
asserts, is the only one accounting for
Stanley's long silence. The Mahdi is
friendly TO the ZanZibaris, and this fact
renders il likely that Stanley and Emin
were surrounded in their stOckade by
the natives until their provisions gave

Zibaris TO save their own lives, and were

SWEENEY MUST STICK.
Gov. Larrabee Refuses to Accept
the Resignation of the Senator
and COngressman-Ele


Special to the Globe.
MASON CITY, TO-, Dec. 15.-Gov. Lar
rabee to-day notified j. II. Sweeney
that he could not at present accept his
resignation as senator. Sweeney is the
congressman-elect from the Fourth dis
trict. 1t is limited very strongly that
the governors refusal to accept his
resignation means that he will be called
upon to serve at an extra session this
winter. If the famous railroad case,
now being tried before Judge Brewer
in the United States court, should
happen to be decided in favor OF the
railroad and against the Iowa commits
sioners, that decision will have signlfic-
ance in reference to an extra session.
Sweney's past record as a railroad legis-
lator proves that he would be con-
venient man to have in the senate in
case of an extra session for the governor
to rely upon to strengthen the present
law, or to help to pass maximum rate
law. 1t is evident that the governor
will not disband his forces while his pet

CAMP POPLAR RIVER, Mont, Dec.
ia terrible tragedy, resulting in the
death of four persons and the fatal
wounding of fifth, occurred at Fort
Peck Indian agency this morning. For
upwards of a week Pretty Boy, one of
the Yankton Sioux trite, has been load
ed with liquor. Agent Cowan
attempted to discover Pretty Boys
source of supply, but in vain.
The Indian not only managed to get all
the whisky he wanted, but had some to
spare, and this he distributed among
the younger bucks at the agency. This
morning Pretty Boy made murderous
attack upon his squaw. Selling a
stick of firewood, he dealt the help
less creature blow on the bead
which cut deep cash in the scalp
and fractured her skull. Not satisfied
with this, the bIoodthirsty brute, erazed
by the liquor he had imbibed, jumped
upon the PROSTATE body of the squaw
and, taking knife out of his belt, made
preparations to scalp her. By this time
a crowd of nearly 100 Indians had gath
cred around the couple. In the crowd
were a number of Indian police, who
RUSHED UPON PRETTY BOY
and dragged him from the body of the
squaw. This so enraged Pretty b
that, shaking off his captors, he ran to
his tepee and secured Winchester
rifle. He at once opened fire on the po
lice, instantly killing two of them and
fatally wounding third. He then pro-
ceeded to where his squaw was
lying, and placing the muzZle of
the rife between her lips, fired four
shots, literally blowing the womanls
head to pieces. This done, the red devil
attempted to effect his escape, firing re-
peatedly at the Indians who were in
pursuit of him. Finding escape inn
possible. he halted on the brow of a
hill about a mile from the agency, and
after severing the arteries in his wrist
with his hunting knife, shot himself
through the heart, death being instan-
taneous. The affair
CREATED GREAT EXCITEMENT
at the agency, and had it not been for
the presence of Capt. Lloyd Wheaton
and two companies of the Twentieth in
fantry, the family of which Pretty Boy
was the black sheep would have
been lynched. An examination
of the body of the squaw
showed that she was enceinte.
and that her accouchement would prob
ably have occurred within few days.
When not in liquor Pretty Boy was one
of the most tractable and peace
ably disposed Indians at the
agency. The fact that this uag-
edy is directly attributable to the
liduor he had obtained surreptitiOusly
will result in an investigation. and If
the party who supplied the stuff can be
located, he will be made an example of.

RoLLA, Dak., Dec. 15.-Trouble has
been brewing for some time on the
Turtle Mountain reservation. Of late
the Reds have been over-officious in
helping themselves to government ra-

the ears of the Indians in Manitoba, and
as a result several hundred of them

of robbing Uncle Sam. To-day a COM
pany of soldiers from Fort Token ar

ner in driving away the Canadian tribes,
who have no rights on this reservation.
