IMMIGRATION BUREAU SPEAKS
Report from the Treasurer on Finan.
cial Matters.

cld1 MATTERS.
About a week ago the REFLECTOR
called attention to the silence existing
around the headquarters of the state
immigration bureau and our remarks
have been widely commented on by
the state press.
The treasurer of the bureau has
aroused himself and issues bare state
ment of receipts and disbursements, a
copy of which was received today by
by Director Sterl. 1t shows that the
bureau has received from the various
counties 1896 as assessments and ST.
$3.50 for books, a total of So, 762.4O.
1t has expended s3,17S,S2, leaving a
balance of $5S3.5S on hand. No infor-
nation is voucbsafed as to what has
been done with the expenditure, but it
has presumably gone for books and Of
ficers' salaries. Dickinson county sent
in SIS and has received about 5000
of the Kansas books. About half of
these have been sent out or given away.
The report is altogether too meager and
we hope will be followed by one in &C
cordance with the Capitals suggestions
given in our editorial columns.
The bureau has had less success than
was anticipated owing to the failure of
excursion arrangements, but it is hoped
that the advertising matter sent out
may do some good. Kansas is speak
ing for herself this year and if crop
prospects realize anticipatiOns immigrt-
ton will be eminently satisfactory this

Letter to Agent Roger.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec. l.
The Rosebud Indians on Wounded
Knee have not come in. but have moved
about ten miles north. across White
river, close to the Bad Lands. They
went there in view of having a con-
venient hiding place when the troops go
after them. They can easily hide, but
the troops can starve them out in short
time. About 100 lodges that stood
OH the north side of Wolf
creek have disappeared since
last evening. they having pulled
up stakes between then and daybreak.
The Indians who broke into houses
were starving and had to do something
TO Keep body and soul together. The
troops are still ready to move on a mo-
ment's notice. "Nighthawk," one of
the chiefs of the Rosebuds, sent a letter
to Agent Roger this morning. 1t is re-
ported that this letter contains this
threat: "Send your soldiers to take us.
We are ready to fig t." The failure
OF the government to protect
the property of friendly indians
has caused great deal of adverse talk.
Word has been received here Tonight
that Indians from four other agencies
are Joining the hoStiles in the Bad
Lands. This will swell the hostile force
to 4,0U0. Little Wourd has made an
other effort to persuade his braves to
forego hostilities, and he barely escaped
from them with his life. Scouts are re-
turning constantly, and report Increased
preparations for war. Gen. Brooke is
restless over the non-receipt of orders to
act. The hostiles report the rounding
up OF 1900 government cattle and
horses.

Republicans in Caucus Decide to
Push the Force Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Repub-
fican senators were this afternoon in
caucus for an hour and hall, engaged
in the consideration of the order of BUS
mess. The main topic of discussion
was the national elections bill. The
friends of this measure recalled to their
fellow senators the implied pledge given
at the caucus last session that the bill,
if allowed to 20 over until the reassenl-
bling OF congress, would be taken up
and pressed to final vote without
the intervention of other bus
iness. They urged that the time
had come to redeem the pledge
and that the senate should at once pro-
ceed 10 the consideration of the bill.
Certain senators who have in the past
been set down as opponents of the elec-
ton bill, or who, at least, were supposed
to be lukewarm i'll its support objected
hot to the general principle of the bill
itself, but to the adoption of policy
that, i'll their Judgment, would probably

legislation during the remainder of this
congress, without guarantee of a sue
cesSful termination of the attempt to
pass the elections bill. Several Western

tion Oh the part of the ma
jority, the bill could be passed.
After a long discussion. the
caucus agreed tiiat the elections bill
shall be taken up in the senate to-mor-
row, with the understanding that it
shall lie kept before that body until
finally acted upon. Furthermore, to
guard against expected opposition from
tile Democratic minority in the line of
dIIatory tactics, committee of five SEN
ators was appointed TO cooperate with
the Republican members of the commit
tee OH rules i'll the preparation of rule
to secure closure of debate when de.
sired by the majority. The old caucus
committee on the order of business was
reappointed. and instructed to prepare
programme to govern the proceedings
OF the senate after the elections bill
shall have been disposed of. 1t is stated
that there were no votes cast against
these determinations of the caucus.

RAN THE GAUNTLET.
Judge Burus, OF DeadwOod, Els
capes With His Life.


PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D.. Dec. L.
Judge Burus. OF Deadwood. came in this
noon from running the gauntlet of the
hostiIes' camp. He says he Is de-
voully thankful at having escaped
with his life. There is no
doubt. he says. but that the red workers
for war are preparing thoroughly for a
great struggle, and that they have no
thought of giving up their purposes. A
member of the camp proclaimed his ap-
pr0aeh when he was long way of, so
that when he neared tue camp he
found it bristling with prepara
tiuns for an attack. The hostile
band is made up almost exclusively of
young men, who nave diSregarded the
advice of their old chiefs, taken the
reins into their own hands and have
vowed to fight until death. The ghost
dance, Judge Burus said further, is
being done all night long, and is varied
during the day with the old-time war
dance. He C, rrobOrates fully the
previous reports as to the abundance Of
toOtl and ammunition which they have,
and says they are making up big
supply of a new pattern of tomahawk,
which is more ugly than the Old style.
" hat friendly Indians there are left
here at the agency are coming in and
telling Agent Rover that they do wish
that this thing could be settled without
bloodshed. Rogers reply is, in effect,
that he is afraid it is too late now.

Mr.. Mccarthy followed Mr.. Parnell.
He explained how he went to Mr.. Glad

nnght to settle It's quarrels among them

Statesmen. Mr. Gladstone told hIm
that he regretted the disOrganiZation of

him as representing the party and
therefore could not treat with him. He
would offer no suggestion, nor would he

not give any document with any GER

some of those concerned. He (Mc-

had been his keeping private until now

Mr.. Parnell-l am perfectly willing

effect that the question of the retire

tanned the views of their constituents on
the subject, the party then to meet in

Parnell ruled out of order any reference

this brought him into frequent collision
with the different speakers. esp cially
Mr.. Healv, with whom Parntll eX-

great passion throughout. The meeting
adjourned until noon tomorrow.
