was completed l assisted in removing the
bodies from their old tomb TO their present
resting place. 1t was decided to open
Washington's coffin, and when il had
been conveyed TO the new tomb the lid
was raised. A number of people were
present and stood in breathless silence
while the workmen extracted the rusty
screws. When the top of the
coffin had been lifted looked in. The
body was apparently perfectly preserved,

was dressed or anything further about it.

The Alaskan Alps.

Though by no means the highest
mountain in the world by actual meas
urement, yet Mt. ST. Elias probably
appears as large as, If not larger than,
any other, for it is plainly visible from
the sea throughout its entire height of
eighteen or nineteen thousand feet,
though situated from forty to fifty
miles inland. The Swiss mountains,
which are all under sixteen thousand
feet, are generally seen from elevations
varying from four to eight thousand
feet, while in the Himalayas the plane
of observation is considerably higher.
1t is certainly true that. with the pos
sible exception of Mt. Wrangel, about
which little is known, Mt. st. Elias
presents the greatests snow climb of

synod continued its session this morning.
The question of adopting the new constitu-

'cut Off the debate by calling the previous
question, when the two-thirds rule alone
saved the measure from being at once de-
;feated. 1t raised quite q breeze, as some
,dave been very busy trying to crush it with

cussion might turn the scale. After some
debate the previous question was again
called, when the body was nearly equally
vet. The afternoon was spent in theological
discussions. Tomorrow n lively time is eX-
,pected, as the special order is the adoption of
the new constitution for the theological SEM
inary, involving its complete separation from

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Oak, June 13. (Via

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 13.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE Even Nicholson rode
into Mora, at 9 o'clock this afternoon, on a
gallop and reported that the Chippewa Indi-
ans, located along the southern border of
Mile Laos had begun q massacre of tho
whites.
He said band Of fifty Indians had de-
scended upon the houses of the settlers at
midnight, and with whoop had set fire to
houses and fred upon the fleeing residents.
Jens Magunsen, Hans Jorger, Peter Sven
son and four others were shot dead as they
ran; q dozen were wounded and it is believed
others were killed.
Nicholson left the place before getting
much information, in order to give
the alarm. From Mora he telegraphed
Governor Merriam, but the latter
was at Window, attending meeting of the
G. A. r. Private Secretary Elliott opened
the dispatch and forwarded it to the COVER
nor The latter wired Colonel Bend, Of the
First regiment, to place companies G and @
under arms, in readiness to move.
If Indians are on the reservation, they are
under the jurisdiction of the United States,
and the regulars will have to attend to them.
AT s p. m. General Ruger issued orders to
the officers at Fort Smelling to send three
companies. They leave st. Paul at o'clock
. tonight.
The Chippewa Indians number 1900 and
are located around the shores of Mile tacs,
in Mile Laos county They have taken part
in many uprisings against the whites and
constantly manifest hostile attitude, and
their action now causes no surprise. II they
are not checked at once it is certain many
ives will be lost. The regulars will reach
the scene of the massacre at
noon tomorrow. The reds have been gath
ering at Lonamie for ten days, and held the
annual war dance Tuesday evening. They
had secured a large quantity Of liquor some
where, and were ugly and threatened to get
even with the whites for fancied injuries.
The settlers are constantly encroaching
upon their domain, so they claim, occupying
some of their best land, picking their berries,
and encumbering them by the building of
fences and dams. Reports from Milaca
junction and Atkin, say the settlers have
left their homes en- masse and are fleeing
southwark. A company Of home rangers
was organized at Mora during the afternoon,
and they will leave for Mile Lacs on horse
back at daybreak, armed with rifles and shot
guns.
