KU-KLUXING IN KENTUCKY.
An Inoffensive Woman Beaten-Th
 Desperadoes Escape.

An Inoffensive Woman Beaten-The
 Desperadoes Escape.
 Jay Drawn, Dick Smith, Steve Centers, and John Drawn went to the house of Mary Pig man. in the mountains, near Manifee Ky. All the men wore red bandannas tied about their faces. Mary Pigman bears good reputation, but she had incurred the enmity of the. Drawns. The crowd rapped at the door, but Miss Pigman refused to let them in. Thereupon they smashed the door in and entered. They seized the terrified woman in her night clothes and dragged her out of doors. They made the woman walk bare footed over the snow to a neighborng strip of timber
 The crowd dashed her to a sapling. Then they beat her unmerciully with switches. Then united her and whipped her back to her cabin, leaving her there in horrible condi- ton. There was scarcely spot on her body that was not bloody.
 Circumstantal evidence pointed to Dick Smith as one of the r,ifans. Hewas arrested and turned States evidence Squire Hamil- ton issued warrants against all members of the crowd charging them with KukluNing. The warrant against Jay Drawn was placed in the hands of Constable Kelton, who ar rested Drawn in Powell county. He gave bond for his appearance and was released.
 At the trial Drawn took a friend by the arm and strolled down the road a short dis tance. if he had something confidential to tell him. When he had got a sufficient dis tance he gave a wild yell jerkcd two big re- volvers from his boots and broke down the road for a patch of wood at | clipping run.
 At the sound of his shout three men were seen coming with Winchester rifles toward his brothers friends. Drawn soon reached the crowd, and all of them started on q re- treat for the timber. The constable hastily gathered posse and started out to bring Jay Drawn back to justice.
 On the edge of the woods fight occurred. A hundred shots were exchanged Kelton the only man who was wounded. He was shot on the nose, the ball just grazing the skin The Drawn party retreated in good order. Their object was not to fight. but to escape, and they succeeded in their purpose. They are still at large among the hills, and have plenty of friends.

The House.

The River and Harbor bill, which is still in the House, will probably get Io further, as time would be wasted in attempting to per feet it, for the President, it is understood, will not sign it. Representative Butterworth, of Ohio, introduced for reference a joint reso- lution authorizing the President to invite the members of the Parliament of Canada and the Premiers and Cabinets of the several provinces to visit the United States on May 1, 1889, and be the guests and partakers of the hospitality of the people of the United States. An appropriation of S15o,O0O is made to carry out the provisions of the reso- lution. and joint committee of the House and Senate is provided for to receive and en- certain the nations guests.
 In the Honse the Senate bill, granting a pension of $:, ,,50O to the widow of General Sheridan, was taken up, amended by reducing the pension to S250O, and passed. Kilgore, of Texas and Cheadlc, of Indiana, rcsorted to ilibustering. but without success. Subse- quently the Senate refused to concur ill the amendment. and asked for a conference. MT. Mills motion to consider his resolution de- claring the Senate tariff bill unconstitutional was antagonzcd by. Mir. Randall and beaten by a vote of 1i3 to SS. The deficiency ap- propriation bin was taken up, and it will take some time to dispose of it. The bill retiring General Rosecrans. with therank of Brigader- General, was called up, and a long debate followed. The bill finally passed.

Discussion Better Than Police.

Professor Felix Adler delivered on Sunday, at Chickering Hall, New York City, his first address since his return from the West. The subject was. "The New Radi- calism." "Thc people of the present age, said he, 'nre seeking the doors of the churches in multitudcs, not to come in. but tn go out. Tho movement in all of the Vest cities is acquiring firm foothod among the better class of people. In St. Louis it has been wonderfully successful. In Chicago Professor Sulter has devised and carried out successfully debating society, which has done more good than the entire police force of the city. In this wonderful institution a millionaire merchant may be found acting as chairman, and seated next to him may be a Socialist of the most violent type. They both come there to learn, and are mutually benefited by an exchange of views from their widely different stundpoiutS."

TURTLE MOUNTAIN TROUBLES.
The Cause of the Threatened Indian Outhreak.

The Cause or the threatened lnO1an Outbreak.
 Fort Totton, from which troops have been sent to the agency of the Turtle mountain band Of Pembina Chippewas, is in the north ern part of Dakota, fourteen miles distant from the Devils Lake terminal station of a branch of the St Paul, Minneapolis and Man. itoba Railroad. The Indian reservation is a small one in the extreme north of the Terri tory, nine miles from the Canada line. The trouble appears to come chiefly from half breeds, who have squatted upon the public lands around the reservation, and refuse to pay county taxes on the ground that a tract of 5000, 900 or 10000, 900 acres lying north and northwest of Devils Lake belongs to the full bloods and themselves, and that for 1t the Government shobld make them compen- sation.
 Official documents show that in 1925 the line between tho Chippewa and Sioux country ran from the mouth of Buffalo River to the Rcd River of the North, and along that river to the Mouth of Outard or Goose Creek. In 1851 a treaty was negotiated with the Chip pewas and half breeds for the cession of cer- tain lands in Minnesota on the Red River, lying East of line drawn due North from the head waters of the South branch of Goose River to the Canadian line. This treaty was never ratified, but in 1863 a treaty was ratified with the Red Lake and Pembna Chippewas for a larger session of lands in this same region. These lands had for their southwestern boundary the Cheyenne River from it's mouth up to Devils Lake, and thence northerly to the Canada line. This includes an important portion of northeastern Dakota between the Cheyenne River and the Red River of the north now covered with railroads running in every direction and occupied by scores of hourishing | towns.
 Bills pending in Congress provide for the acquisition of title to the lands known as the Red Lake Reservation, and for the removal of the Indians on them to the White Earth Reservation The question has been compli- cated by the fact that the half breeds now making the trouble have. according to Secre- tary Villas, no claims to the lands for the cession of which the Government is treating, or to the greater tract which the Chippewas have never ceded Unofficial reports have given the number of Indians on tbe reserva- ton at 3,7OO, with enough absent hunting g to make 5.2OO.
