LORD SALISBURY TALKS.
As Expected he has Only Words OF
Condemnation for ParnelI

Lord Salisbury speaking at Water
ford, Lancashire, said that while the
moral outburst against Mr. Parnell for
violation OF the seventh commandment
was creditable, he regretted that Irish
breaches of the sixth and eighth com.
mandments hitherto had escaped con-
domination. Messrs. Healey and Sex
ton, after supporting their leader,
had now turned and rent him. The
liberal leaders had refrained from
taking any decided view OF the scan
da, until they saw the effect OF the re.
lations upon the religious community.
lie challenged Mr.. Gladstone to reveal
the actual facts Of the hawarden in
terview. A crisis had been inevitable
sooner or later from the very nature
OF the liberal national alliance. Such
vaguepolicy would be impossible in
the future.

rates to the st. Louis carnival. The
Kansas City tickets read via Chicago.
Agent McNear, OF the Illinois Central
sent spy to the Office OF the Kansas
City road where he purchased ticket
of Assistant Ticket Agent, Z. S.
George for st. Louis with the pro-
viso that on reaching Chicago he
could dispose of the ticket, and he was
also given the address CT n Chicago
scalper, with whom he could negotiate
for the sale. The address and direc-
tions were written on card and signed
by George. McNear reported the
case to Chairman Finley. OF the inter.
state association, who fined the Kan
sas City 800. The road appealed.
and the decision was reversed. The
Illinois Ceatral agent then reported
the matter to the special agent of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
the latter ordered an investigation by
the United States grand jury. The
Kansas City company deny all respon-
sibility for the action of George, who
was formerly II ticket scalper.

BLOOD FLOWS IN TEXAS.
Convict Soldiers Condemned TO
Death for the Murder OF Guards.

A special from FL Paso, Texas, says:
A bull fight at Jauries, Mex, was at
tended by an immense crowd II was
brutal and fierce in every respect and
one horse, ridden by fighter was
horned three times, ripping the fore
leg almost from the body. The bulls
were vicious and kept the crowd at u
fever heat OF excitement during the
performance. The last bull was
sabered and dragged from the arena
dead. While the soldiers were absent
from the post attending the fight the
convict soldiers revolted at the bar
racks and killed II sergeant Of guards,
corporal and private. The murder
ers, eighteen in number, broke from
the barracks and escaped to the noun
tain. They were followed by soldiers,
three ovcrtaken and shot TO death and
four captured and returned to the post.
They were ordered to be killed at sun
rise the next day.

TO FIGHT THE INDIANS.
Heavy Appropriations to be Asked
For.

A rough draft OF the regular army
appropriation bill is now ready and
will be submitted TO sub committee.
A very significant feature OF it is an
appropriation OF 100000 to all in
carrying on the Indian campaign. An
increase of $3.50, 600 over last year for
the purchase OF horses for the cavalry;
s300.O0 is provided for the special
transportation OF troops, and $500, 900
for the subsistence Of Indians cap red.
This feature OF the bill proves con-
clusively that the war department is
anticipating n lively and expensive
campaign with the Indians.

DARING ROBBERY.
A Chicago Cashier Relieved OF a
Good Sum.

In broad daylight Jos. N. Adler,
cashier of Allerton's Packing Com
pany's establishment Mt the stock
yards, Chicago, was held up in his
Office by two young men of granger
like appearance and relieved of 80, 200
in cash. II had been brought in from
the bank few minutes before to pay
off the men. The two strangers sud-
denly entered the Office and in an In
slant the cashier was looking down the
muzzle of u big revolver. He was
commanded TO empty the money into
a canvas bug which was held by the
second stranger. Eighteen hundred
men were working in the PACKING
house Of which the Office is part, but
when the man with the gun said:
aim nervous and this may go off If
you don't hurry the cashier hurried.
A teamster came into the office, but
was quickly covered by the second
mans revolver. The robbers backed
out of the door, barred it on the out
side, and made off in n buggy. No
trace Of them has been found.

BILL NYE RESPONSIBLE
For the Present Crazy Indian
Outbreaks. i

It is claimed by parties in Reno
that Bill Nye, the famous humor-
ist is indirectly responsible for the
present Indian disturbances. 1t
appears that last Winter when
Nye passed through Reno, he
stopped over day and on the
street was introduced to johnson
Sides, the famous Indian inter-
prefer. He was quite struck with
the peculiarities Of the Indian and
had long conversation with him.,
Afterwards parties in Reno told
Nye several anecdotes OF Sides
which he Incorporated in one of
his humorous letters.
Sides never saw the letter in
print, but he heard of it from
parties who joked him about it,
and many who saw that he was
annoyed, manufactured all sorts
OF yarns about him which they
said they had read in Nye's letter.
He finally became very angry, be-
cause he has led a sihgularly hon
est life and is very proud Of his
standardization and education,
Parties pretended to believe all
sorts of things about him, and
claimed that Nye had written him
up as a murderer, liar, drunkard,
gambler, Lathairo and thief. In
his innocence he saw no humor in
these things, and thinking that he
had lost the confidence of the
whites became very morose.
He then preached a new Mes
siah, because he argued the old
Messiah had not regenerated his
chosen people, but caused them
to believe in wicked stories about
himself.
People who could not distin-
guish the false from the true
needed a new Christ.

PINE RIDGE, Nov. 23.-The mill
tary authorities admit tonight
that a numerous band from Rose
bud is en- route to Pine Ridge.
The dancers are coming into the
agency to-day in squads, prepar-
ing to draw the ratiors tomorrow.
Much loud talk is heard. The In
dams mainly disclaim any hostile
intentions. Their attitude, how
ever, does not satisfy either Gen
eral Brooke or Agent Roger.
The fear is now that many dan
GERS will decline to come to the
for their rations, but or
ganize incursions into the country
bordering on the reservation. In
order that this phase of the ques-
ton may be properly met, General
Brooke has order a large body Of
troops from Omaha and other
points to Rushville. The troops
at other points are under march
ing orders to be ready to cut off
any raiding parties that may leave
the reservation.
