sn.aIN AND SCALPEn
Bloody Encounter Between Redskins.
 Some Cowboys Killed.

WINNIPEG. Man., May 22.-Word has Just been received here of ferocious fight which took place near Fort Mcleod last week between band of Blood h. dians on one side and force composed of soldiers, cowboys and Gros ventres on the other. The Bloods have lately been stealing horses from the Gros Ventres, and the latter, assisted by soldiers and cowboys, made .an effort to recover the stolen animals.
 As usual, the stories as to the number of killed and wounded are-conflicting, but 1t is certain that quite a large number were s ...in. Most of the bodies were car ried away by friends of the fallen, but three or four were discovered on the field minus scalps.
 Tho Bloods appear to have gotten the worst of the encounter. They got away with most of the stolen horses and are now being closely followed by mounted police.
 Another encounter Is likely to take place when the police come upon them and serious trou ble Is feared. It is al- legged that American Indians in Montana a are going to the Bloods' assistance.

 The masons have been discontented for long time, and their last demands having heen refused, they declared a strike, which began yesterday.
 Three thousand men left work and building operations have ceased through out the city and suburbs.
 The strike on the tramways has been averted, but the men are not satisfied.
 With more unanimity of action on their part, traffic might be stopped at any mo- ment; but evidently the time is not ripe for decisive action on either side.

O'BRIEN ON THE RACK.
The Fiery Editor Gives Evidence
 Before the Parnell Commission.
I8OYCOTTS DO GOOD
The Witness Approved Them and Thought They Prevented Crime People.

LONDON, May 22. - William OBrien
 testified yesterday before the Parnell
 commission. Owing to MT. O'Brien's
 weak condition, tho result of his long im-
 prisonment he was allowed to remain
 seated. He described the wretched con-
 dtion of the people of Tipperary and
 other counties prior to the formation of
 the National league. The poor tenants
 were in debt up their necks, and had ab-
 solutely no redress against brutal and
 oppressive landlords.
 The league, he said, prevented whole
 sale famine and fearful war in the west
 of Ireland in 1870. MT. O'Brien said that
 he ully approved the practice of boycott ting and delared that 1t had had the effect of preventing crime.
 The condition of affairs in Mayo when Mir. Davitt formed the League there was appalling Wholesale famine and bank ruptcy seemed inevitable. Farmers sold everything at dead loss. The land lords did nothing to alleviate the distress. They denied that any distress existed. MT. Reid, one of the counsel for the Parnellites, read an article from United Ireland denouncing the Phoenix Park
 murderers and asserting that the assas- sins, if discovered, would be more likely | to be lynched in Dublin than in Lon don.
 Mir. OBrien said that the anger ex pressed in the article was undoubtedly genuine. The view of the nationalists was that the government should pursue | policy of conciliation and thus obtain l the peoples sympathies with the law But the members of the government lost l their heads and passed strong coercion measure, under which the country haG been terribly disturbed for three years. The government in 1882 suppressed United Ireland because witness charged the government in that paper with get ting up crime, which charge he was per l fectly prepared to prove.
 MT. O'Brien attempted to enter into ! the details of the alleged outrages insti gated by the government, but Attorney General Webster objected, and his ob- l jection was sustained by the court. The commission then adjourned.

MALIETOA AS KING.
Tho American Com missioners Demand
 Ills Reinstatement.

BERLIN, May 22.-A serious hitch has occurred in the negotiations between the commissioners to the conference on Samoan affairs.
 The United States Government insists that Malietoa be restored as king. This is the chief point at issue.
 The German government is reluctant to agree to that proposition. Its repre- sentatives point out that Germany has pardoned Malietoa, and declare that they think that that Is tho best their govern ment can do so far as it is concerned.
