INDIANS STARVING.
Appeal From Their Agent for Instant
Help or They Will Die Like Dogs.

FT. ToTrEN, Nd, Feb. 11.-Between 500 and
1000 Indians credited to the Devils Lake
agency are wholly destitute of clothing and in
the last stages of starvation. Unless furnished
with food, clothing and medicine at once the
Indians will die like dogs. Disease has brought
fully one-haf Of them to the verge of the grave
and the recent inclement weather enhanced
their sufferings. Indian Agent Cramsie has
Issued the following an appeal for aid:
Il desire to appeal to the American people
for relief for the Indians of Devils Lake. who
are IN starving condition and very destitute
OF clothing. The circumstances have been
fully reported to the Interior department. with
proper estimates for articles of food and cloth
ing. from time to time since August s, 1889,
and have been furnished $780, which was ex-
pended III food and long since issued. L am in
formed that no further relief can be rendered
by the government until Congress makes an
appropriation, but from appearances the In
dams Will be i'll their graves before relief by an
appropriation can be used. These Indians
have supported themselves for years by their
own industry without government aid and
their present destitution Is through no fault of
their own. but is due only to the total failure
OF their crops. the same in the case of white
settlers in the neighburhood and while the latter
are receiving from the different counties the
wards OF the general government are starving
With other misfortune the grip has added to
their sufferings. Their only means of subsist-
ence is from the sale of wood, which has to be
carried to market from IA to 20 miles, and the
price obtained for it is small that very little
food can be purchased with the proceeds; be-
sides, the Indians are so very thnly clad that
there are not many who can make tue journey.
Amy contributions of subsistence or clothing
Will be thankfully received by the undersigned
and properly distributed.

pany took IRE. The watchman at the brush
company's works SAYS he first saw the fire near

PARLIAMENT OPENS.
A Session that is Likely TO be Very
Tempestuous.

LONDON. Feb. 1l.-This afternoon begins a
parliamentary session which, if present antici-
pations are realized, promises 10 be the Storm
lest and most obstinate, as far as opposition 10
concerned, that has engaged the attention Of
her majesty's Legislators for a long time. Those
who are in a position TO judge express this
opinion aud 1t seems TO be accepted by tories
ana liberals, nationalists and radicals that
there is much to be done before the house can
settle down to real work The tories have bills
and schemes to present, but before any head
way can be made with them the liberals have a
few questions to ask about the dispute with
Portugal and probably will inquire If Lord
Salisbury purposes doing any thing about Crete
or Armenia. The Nationalist intend either by
themselves or through their allies. TO raise the
question about the Piggot forgeries. while the
radicals, under the leadership of Labouchere
promise 10 make II hot for the government in
regard to the Cleveland-street scandals and
other West End filth of more recent date.
THE CASE OF Mr.. PYSE
The session will begin with the introduction
to the mouse of members elected during tho
recess. This ceremony is followed by the
moving OF new writs, one OF which will be for
the seat for West Waterford. made vacant

overheard from the Dublin packet about a
year ago while crossing from Holyhead. Mr..
Pyne VIII be remembered as the Irish member
who dehed the emergency men in his castle,
which he made lmpregnable, and for the merry
chase he led the detectives who were following

made by three members of parliament stating
their belief that Mr.. Pyne Is dead has been
lodged with the speaker, and new writ will DO

tories viii contest this seat but there lis little
hope that they can poll even votes enough TO

returned without opposition.

LIMA, ONO, Feb. 1L.-Quite sensation has
been created here over the testimony of ]. b.
Showalter, deaf mute employed at the
Standard oil refinery. given at the inquest be-
ing held by the coroner. Showalter said that
the morning before the explosion which killed
one man and injured five Others he was at work
in the still house, when a strange man ap-
preached him from behind and tapped him on
the shoulder. He looked around and the
strange man motioned for him to follow him.
he did SO and the fellow gave him a note tell
ing him everything was fixed, and then when
he gave him the tip to look out Showalter
was frightened and did not work the next day,
when the explosion took place. The strange
man he had never seen before and the sup
position is that the explosion was the work Of
some one as revenge against the company. The
matter Is being fully investigated.

to settle In the states. He wanted the govern

THE NEW CODE.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois called up for consider
alton the proposed code of rules and he offered
q resolution providing that general debate shall
close at o'clock tomorrow and that (after de-
bate under the five-minute rule) the previous
question shall be considered as ordered at
O'Clock tomorrow.
VIGOROUS PROTESTS
against cutting off discussion in such short
order were made by Messrs. McMiIlin, Hooker,
Springer, McCreary and Flower, but they were
OF no effect, and Mr.. Cannon demanded the
previous question. But the House would not
sustain this demand, and, many republicans
voting against it, the demand was rejected by
an overwhelming vote of 50 to 49,
Mr.. Springer Immediately claimed the floor.
but Mr. Cannon declined to yield it. He pro-
posed either to lose the previous question or
ut least to get some indication at what time
this year gentlemen on the other side were
willing to close debate. He demanded the yeas
and nays on his demand for the previous ques-
tion. But not sufficient number OF members
arose to enforce this demand and, amid ap-
plause from the democratic side, the Speaker
So announced:
Mr.. Cannon then yielded the floor, recogniz-
ing, as he said, that his colleague (Mr.
Springer) was in charge of the resolution.

THE DEMOCRATS WERE JUBILANT
over their victory, and as Mr. Springer rose to
make motion he was greeted BY many of his
colleagues as being in charge of the proposed
new code.
Mr.. Springer then offered resolution provid-
ing that general debate shall proceed until ad-
Journment tomorrow, after which the code
shall be considered under the fve-minute rule
until O'Clock Friday, when the previous ques-
ton shall be considered as ordered
This resolution was adopted without objec-
uon, and MIR. Cannon good-naturedly crossed
over to the democratic side and congratulated
his colleague upon its success.
THE DEBATE BEGINS.
Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) in supporting the new
code said that while it had been charged on
the other side that the changes in the rules
am )unted to revolution, no one had pointed
out wherein this revolution would materially
and unfavorably affect the business Of the
country. He hoped that the leaders of the
revolutionary theory would specify wherein the
revolution lay.
