CHICAGO, February ia specia
Helena, Montana, bringing intelligence
of an Indian outbreak at Demarsville
Montana, in the Flathead country
reached here to-day. J. E. Clifford
postmaster at that place, caught an In
dian stealing goods from his store and in
the fight that followed the Indian wat
killed. Many rumors are rife. The
story which is given most credence is
that the Indians lay in wait for Clifford
and killed him and DR.. Cunningham.
1t is reported that an intensely bitter
feeling exists between the settlers and
the Indians, the former having been
greatly angered by prowling Indians from
the reservation.
A large number of Indian women and
children are en- route to the agency at
Arlee, and this would indicate that the
redskins are preparing Tor raid. Great
excitement prevails in that section
among the whites. If it is developed that
the Indians are contemplating an upris-
ing, there will be a war of determination.
SAN Francisco, February 19.-The
Eaaminer's Helena, Mont, special says
that news has Just been received fAm
Missoula that the Flathead Indians are
arming themselves, and that the settlers
in the Flathead Lake Valley are in great
danger. The private letter states that the
trouble originated from the death of
an Indian, who was struck on the head
with a pistol by J. E. Clifford, the post
master at Demarsyille from whom the
Indian had stolen an overcoat. 1t is re-
ported that afterward Clifford and DR..
Cunningham were killed by the Indians.

that California on Wheels" the trav-

siasm East, and he had arranged with

which may apply in their districts for

SAN FRANCISCO, February 19.--The

PARIS, February 19.-In spite OF con-

cabinet crisis appears to be as distant as

the absolute impossibility OF forming q

President Carnot to-day offered the pre-

another refusal. He then summoned
Melire, whom he urged to make
another effort, but he again declined

INDIANAPOLIS, February 19.-Among
the politicians great doubt has been ex-

greatest interest seems to be centered
in the Pacific Slope. Many Repub-
licans openly declare that it will be
a breach of good faith if the Slope is ig-
nored, and they refuse to admit that it
will be. But, after all, there is nothing
in it but conjecture, for no one has any
positive information on the subject.
The General and his family have ac'

YOUTHFUL INDIsCRETroN.

RUSSELL HARRISON, who will next
Tuesday be crown prince of the Re-
publican party, is an indiscreet-talking
young man. He couldn't tell the re-
porters, the day after his arrival in
Washington, anything about the new
cabinet. but he did entertain them by
telling what impressions Washington
customs made upon the royal family.
His pa, and his ma, and his sister, his
sisters baby, and himself were all just
tickled to death with the mannerIy
treatment they were receiving. ut was
so different from what we were used to
in Hoosierdom." said the crown prince
in expectancy. 'Why, here every caller
sends in card.' he is quoted as say
ing. "They didn't do that in Indian
apolis. Out in Hoosierdom the custom
for visitors was to come up to the house
and say, Il am Judge So and So, OF Col.
Somebodyelse, and l want to see the
new-made king AS for cards or man
ners. they knew nothing of either"
Now. young Mr.. HARRIsoN's descrip-
ton of the difference between Washing
ton and indianapolis social customs is
correct enough, but he ought to let
somebody else talk about it. Gen. HAIR
RIsoN'S first official act should be to put
paddock on his boys mouth. With all
the rudeness that prevails in Hoosier-
dom, ii Gen. HARRISON had not been an
Indiana man he would never have been
thought of for president. And after all,
if this is republic and not monarchy,
we fail to see what was wrong about the
Indiana custom.

ercise over the cost of existence will Ill
timately awaken the worklngmen and
the farmers to the dangers of Repub-
iican rule. Mr.. CLEVELAND recognizes
the race question in the South as the
most delicate subject to be handled by
the HARRISON administration. If let
alone, the question will solve itself in
time, but if the HARRISON administra-
ton commits itself to the policy urged
by the more radical leaders Of the Re-
publican party, there is every prospect
of trouble ahead.
Mr.. CLEvELAND's talk throughout is
characterized by sound common sense.
1t is frank discussion of public mat
tiers from plain, honest, patriotic citi-
zen who has occupied the highest
position to which his countrymen
could elevate him, and is now about to
step back into the ranks to discharge
the duties of private citizen as earn
estly and conscientiously as ne per-

In the middle of the Forum where the
world great power lay
Broke there once mighty chasm in the open
light of day. t.
Whence it came or what its meaning baffied
oracle or priest, ,ds
And its presence dimmed Rome's gladness
like a Death's-head at feast.
Yawned its gaunt lips wide asunder and the
sharp gray rocks beneath
Shone, in mingled light and shadow. like
some hell-born giants teeth: u
And blindness, swift as lightning, was the
daring eyeball's doom,
For the curse of Hades smote them in the
cayeru's awful gloom.
Flamens thronged the sacred temples, book
learned in the Sybil' s words;
Augurs climbed the hills at sunrises. killed to
read the flight of birds,
And their edicts. as the heralds OF the gods
supreme disclose,
Fate demands some free will victim ere the
fearful gap shall close.
There is trembling thro' the women, there is
doubling mid the men.
When fair and young, with armor hung. came
Marcus Curtius then;
The voice of love- the ties of blood. al hold
him back in vain
His country calls-he leaped. And life he
never saw again.
Thus thousands wait IN anguish sore TO hear

For them to jump in some pEblic place and

O'Clock a recess was taken until $50 D.
m The senate held long executive
session this afternoon and i'm that seS-
sion transacted more executive bust
ness than has been considered at any
previous secret session during the Fiji
tleth congress. Many nominations were
confirmed, most of them OF little inter-
est or Importance. The nominations of
William s. kosecrans to be brigadier
general, to be placed on the retired list,
ana William +. Smith to be major in
the engineer corps. to be placed on the
retlred list, were confirmed without ref
erence to committee. The nomination
OF Commodore Belknap, which had been
held up because of the attitude assumed
by Belknap toward the Reaches after
the installation of Secretary Whitney,
was confirmed because 1t was in the
regular line of promotion, and because
the nomination was made ineaccordance
with almost unvarying precedent. After
a large number of combinations had
been made the senate got into a dispute
over the nomination of Thomas E.
Hartidge to succeed Thomas Settle, de-
ceased, as judge of the, Northern dis
trict of Florida. This is one of the
iiohiIndGtOuS 6iid6 tilt htpuDilCdu Seild-
tors had determined to hold up until
the incoming of the new administration,
and the Democratic senators have made
determined effort to have it confirmed.
The matter was debated at great length,
and was still unsettled wherrthe senate
adjourned. The senate discussed in
secret session the nomination of Will
lam Webb to be commissioner of the
District of Columbia, but it was not
disposed of. At the evening session
the time was consumed in endeavoring
to secure quorum, but without sue
cess, and at $50 the senate adjourned.

sIMPLIFIED LAND SYSTEM.

Several bright flickers of redeem
ing character are lighting the last hours
of this congress. Not the least of these
is apparently the simplifying of the
land laws, leaving only the homestead
feature. 1t would be vastly better for
the new regions if the timber culture
and presumption features had been re-
moved years ago. The growth of trees
under the former has amounted to al
most nothing, while the lands have
largely passed into the hands of specu-
lators. The temptation has been ire
sistible to most settlers of small means
to get hold of the full 420 acres, although
they had no means to utilize the land.
This has caused loans and mortgages,
oppressive burdens, and prevented the
country from being settled up, as it
should be, by the small landholders.
Those who have the means, and want
more than the homestead, can easily
purchase convenient additions. There
will be no check to bona fide settlement
by the repeal of the acts.
