The Sioux Off Their Reservation,
with Soldiers In Pursuit.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Oak, Aug ia
great commotion was caused yesterday when
it was learned that large band Of Sioux had
gone to the Cheyenne country on the Tongue
river, In defiance Of the objections interposed
by Agent Gallagher. They left word that
they were going to attend the sun dance. 1t
is feared they have more serious intentions.
as they have often threatened TO join the
Cheyennes and massacre the unprotected
whites along the.Tongue and Powder rivers.
The Indians requested Agent Gallagher to
let them 20 to the Tongue river country last
week, but the latter, suspecting there would
be trouble. refused to permit them 70 leave
the reservation. As soon as 1t was learned
that the Indians had gone, a telegram was
sent to Gen. Folger, who wired Col. Dudley
at Fort Custer. to send out troops at once to
intercept them. In the afternoon two COM
panies Of the First Cavalry started in hot
pursuit across the country to meet the recall
citrant reds. The troops are In command Of
Major j. w. Hamilton and First Lieutenant
X. p. Wainwright. IL Is believed bloody
battle will he fought before the Sioux are
taken back to the reservation, as they are In
bad state Of mind and reported to be well
armed.

MAKE HIM ARBITRATE.

The strong arm of the law should
grasp President CORBIN, of the Reading
railroad, and the broad boot of his di-
rectory should propel him into the outer
darkness of unsalaried private life. For
the continuance of the great strike
which has already brought considerable
suffering upon the employees and their
families is due to President CoRBIN
alone. The syndicate which virtually
controls the railroad, but which for the
time being has no mandatory authority
over CoRBIN, advises arbitration as a
means of settling the existing difficult
ties.
The employees themselves are anxious
to arbitrate, and the business men have
sent frequent appeals that arbitration
be resorted to. But CoRBIN is Obsti-
nate. He has passed the point where
he could be reasoned with, and now
with blind obstinacy clings TO the deter
mination to crush the strikers at all
hazards. The attitude of CoRBIN
throughout has been discreditable.-
That of the miners has been such as to
merit the appreciation even OF those
who have opposed the strike. They
are sober, orderly and determined. In
requesting arbitration they ask nothing
more than should have been freely ten
dered them at first.
IL CoRBIN persists in refusing to as
sent to it, his directors should find a
way to compel him. The stand which
he is maintaining goes far toward justi-
flying all that dissatisfied working
men are in the habit of saying concern

Singular Phenomena.

To the Editor of the Globe.
When the sublime terror of the late
great blizzard on the 18th inst. was
fairly initiated, the wind was blowing
strong from the east, attended with
snow-SheetS beating in upon us. About
l o'clock in the afternoon there was
mOmentary lull, and dark shadow
yelled the sky, casting a somber gloom
upon the silvery rills dancing over the
drifts. Not five minutes elapsed before
the wind reversed its compass and then
opened its batteries from the west far
more furious than before, and so con-
tinued without abatement. During the
night, while the storm was yet bowling,
though the temperature of the room in
which | lay was quite comfortable,
being well warmed by stove fire, and
no wind could possibly creep under the
bedclothes, every dash against the wall
of the house caused the nerves to SILVER.
The tremor of the very fiberS of the
wood and glass of the double windows
communicated a feeling that seemed,
more than anything else, to be electric
ShiyerS of frigidity shooting through the
body. Can it be possible, l queried, that
this emotion is an absolute negatiOn-
cold? And is electricity producer as
we'll as conductor of temperature? The
shivers did not feel like the usual eff
fects of chill. The trembling of the
nerves was all the while accompanied
with an electric insulation of the whole
person, highly charging the hair of the
head. Cracking noises were heard
around the picture frames and other
furniture; lights there visibly flashed in
quick succession, and these imported
shocks when touched. j. o. BARRETT.
