He Finds that the Indians are Not
Living Very High.
Plenty of Soap and Very Little of
Anything Else.

OMAHA, Neb., November 25.-A special
from Pine Ride agency, S. D., says: The
condition today is considered critical. The
indications are now good that the Indians
are on the point of joining the ghost dancing
faction. What the result will be cannot be
forseen.
A special from Rushville. Neb., says: To-
day. or at farthest tomorrow, is the time set
for bloody engagement between the SOL
dierS and the Indians at Pine Ridge. Ad'
vices up to noon today report all serene on
the battle ground. Your correspondent in
terv:ewed Baptiste Courier, squaw man,
now living on the Sioux reservation,
who has lived among the Indians 80 years.
He Is intelligent, wealthy and of wide influ-
ence among them. He stated that no out
break or dep7edations of any nature would
occur. General Brooke asked II. o. Pugh,
the issue clerk of the supply department,
what rations the Indians are getting. Pugh
said: They are getting 10 pounds of bacon,
three pounds of beans. $50 pounds of beef,
one pound of baking powder, four pounds Of
coffee. 30 pounds of flour, two pounds of
soap, seven pounds of sugar, and two BUSH
els of salt. This quantity is allowed to 100
rations. for 100 Indians per day for two
weeks"

eral with much emphasis. "Who of US
doesn't know that people can't live on that.
don't care whether they are Indians or
what they are, people cannot be satisfied or
contented if they don't have enough to eat"
Said Agent Roger, "They do not get all
the beef coming to them. Beef weighing
HOO pound when it gets to us shrinks to 700
before it gets to the Indians. The Indians
are the losers"

Letter from Gladstone Urging tho
Irish Leaders Retirement,

LONDON, November 25.-ParlIament reas-
sembled today. The speech from the throne
alludes to the threatened potato famine in
West Ireland. and expresses regret at the
existing condition Of affairs. The Queen
says she trusts that measures may be taken
to mitigate the peoples distress. The speech
further says that bills will be introduced
relative to land purchase In Ireland. tishes.
assisting education. reform Of private bill
legislation for Scotland, extension Of local
government In England. and II the work Of
the session permits, a bill relative to local
government in Ireland.
After few minor members had spoken
the address was agreed to, the first time In
fifteen years an address was agreed to on the
day Of the opening Of Parliament.
Mr.. Parnell entered the House Of Com
mons at two o'clock, After congratulating
Mr.. Corbett, home rule member, upon his
recent marrige, he managed to evade the
crowd OF journalists waiting in the lobby In
the hope Of obtaining an Interview with tho
Irish leader, and left the House accompanied
by Justin Mccarthy. The Nationalist mem
0ers all declared thatif Parnell was elected
to retain the leadership, he would receive
the full support Of bis party. Individual
Nati1nalsts. recognizing the feeling OF the
English Liberals IN tn6 matter, expressed
themselves onnosed to Parnell's retaining
leadership. No one knew what Mr.. Par
nel's decision would be, but all declared ne
would do thr right thing. The Liberal mem-
ners were aiu"st unanimously Of the cOnvic.
tlon that Mr. Parnell would have to go.
The Press association states that IL Mr..
Parnell persists in retaining the public lead
eTship of the IIish party, Mr.. Gladstone
will immedia civ return to Hawarden and
not appear in Parliament until after the
Christmas holidays.
At the requ-s stuf Mr.. Glf dstone, Mr.. Nor
ley has communicated to Mr.. Parnsll, let
ter witten to him Monday by Mr.. Gladstone
Ia which he says that notwithstanding the
splendid services rendered by Mr.. Parnell TO
MS country, his continuance at the present
moment Ia the leadership would be prOduc-
tive of consequences disastrous In the high
est degree TO tbe cause of Ireland, would
place many hearty and effective friends OF
the Irish cause 10 a position Of great embar-
rassment. and would render Gladst0ne's re-
tentiOn Of the leadership Of the Irish party,
based as IL has been mainly upon the prose-
cutiOn of the Irish cause, almost a nullity.
It Is learned that Mr.. Gladstone had an
interview with Mr.. Parnell before the pub.
lcation of the letter to Mr.. Morley, and urged
Parnell to retire from the leadership Of the
Nationalist party.
Several Liberal candidates have written
letters that they withdraw from the field

MES that he acted In cruel manner toward
the plaintiff, and says that he used only ne

His Followers Desire.

LONDON, November pa meeting Of the
Irish Home Rule members of Parliament
was held today before the opening Of the

the leadership at the express desire OF his
followers.

ing, in which he thanked his followers for
his reelection. He said Ii, was for the Irish
members to decide whether he should lead
them. IL their decision had been a negative
one, or there had been any diversity OF opin-
ion among them he would cheerfully have

the conviction that his colleagues desired to
still utilize his services in their common
cause induced him To resume Its hare ship.

handed TO Mccarthy bundle OF papers con-
tanning a memorandum for his guidance as

by the patentees that the car is to be
the car of the future, as the dangers Of
travel will be reduced to minimum, whilst
the expense of running and keeping In order
will be far less than the ordinary wooden

the twelve districts there have been built q
total of ITO vessels, with an aggregate ton
mage OF 64,361. This total Is made up Of five
steamers, including the Portland and Cot

including the Rappahannock and Shenan-

Stands al the head, with total OF AZ vessels
TO its credit. This years activity has not
been eoualled In a decade. Last winters
big ice harvest In this state, and the advance
in South American and other freight rates,
have largely Influenced shipbuldlng opera

wages for their labor, carpenters being paid
from 90 10 to 80 75 DER day.
