julie, the Catholic priest who was requested by
Gen. Brooke to talk with the hostile Indians,
had returned and reported that the hostiles
had agreed to come to the agency and talk
with Gen. Brooke. The Indians said that they
were in danger of starving. They also feared
the troops. Father julie assured them that il
they came to the agency they would not be
harmed. They said:
I'VE object to the recent census return made
by Mr.. Lee. His enumeration, us he is now
making it, would not give food sufficient for us
to live on. Lee put us down less many less,
for each tepee than it contains. We
are to receive food according to
that enumeration. We shall starvc. we know we
shall starve. If the great father chooses to cheat
us we will have one big eat before the starving
time comes. After that we shall fight our last
EGht and the white man shall see more blood,
more bad b. us from our guns than ever before.
Then We will go to the last hunting ground

THE THIRD PATTY MOVEMENT.
Both Republicans and Democrats Uneasy
Over the Prospect.

The proposition of the alliance TO organize Q
third party is giving the members Of both parties
In Congress some uneasiness. IL 10
not generally believed among politicians that
the alliance would have any great strength
as third party, but il would draw votes
from both the old parties and
greatly change the political situation
There Is no telling which party would suffer
most. and neither Is willing TO take the risk of
the other getting the worst Of it,
Republicans, holding that the alliance Is an
attachment TO the democracy, say that the dem
ocrats would lose most votes TO the third
party. though they confess 60 n fear OF losses
themselves IN the west The democratic as
sumption is that the republican alliance men
would vote for an alliance national ticket. while
most OF the democrats in the alliance would
vote with their old party.
The general opinion seems 20 be that while
the third party movement would hurt both the
old parties and bring n great uncertainty into
all calculations il would destroy the alliance
influence within the old parties and defeat
alliance legislation.

New YORK. Dec. ct came to light yester-
day that Charles S. Higgins & Co., the extensive
soap manufacturers of Brooklyn, have been
financially embarrassed for some time because
Of the tightncss Of the money market, and for
the past week they have been unable to meet
their obligations and were compelled to stop
payment on their notes, and that as a way
out Of the difficulty the firm has been
dissolved and new stock company, to be
known as the Charles s. Higgins Company, has
been organized, in which several Of the princi-
pal creditors Of the firm are members and will
take an active interest. The information was
brought cut while tracking a rumor that Thur
Der, Whyland Il Co.. the wholesale grocers, had
failed. Mr.. II. K. 1hurber acknowledged. on
being questioned. that he had indorsed Hig-
gins Il Co.'S paper and that it had not been

THE QUEENS WEALTH.
1t 10 Enormous, and She Never Lost a PENNY
by Speculation.

1t ID Enormous, and She Never Lost a Penny
by Speculation.
Gable Correspondence OF the Chicago News.
It is believed that the queen is the richest
woman in the world. OF the extent of her pos-
sessions only those few in her confidence have
positive knowledge. but occasionally there is
brought to light some little incident that con.
firms the popular suspicion that her majesty
has most successfully feathered her own nest.
The queen has always surrounded her.
self with tho shrewtest business advisers.
and the manipulation of her finances
has been intrnsted to the closest hands,
1t is said that she has never lost penny by
unwisc speculation. The amount of real estate
she owns in London is simply enormous. One
block alone il said to include both sides OF the
Quadrant and Regent street. from Piccadiily
circus to Oxford street.-the most valuable
property IN the kingdom. Victoria began her
career poor as the average German princess;
the lesson in frugality Taught her by her cAcel-
lent mother ahe has never forgotten. She il
provident to the degree of parsimory. OF the
extravaganza Of the Prince of Wales she has n
special horror and 1t il said that she locks up
her wallet and loses the key whenever she sees
her son and heir coming down the road toward
the castle to pay her call.
Few OF you know that. before she met Prince
Albert Victoria had several affaires de ceur
lOru tlpnlhstOne was her nrst flame. He was
a young Scotchman, tall, handsome and courtly
That she was in love with him Victoria did not
deny. and upon his part Elphinstone was
deeply enamored Of the young lady. But such
| an attachment was wholly out OF the question.
After vast amount OF expostulation, schem-
ing. threatening and coaxing Victoria was in
duced to give up this first sweetheart and the
handsome but poverty-stricken young Scot was
packed Of to the antipodes, where he was
soothcd with the governorship Of Madras.
| Shortly after this Victoria fell in love with
Lord Fitzaian, q handsome and dashing young
| fellow. who, however, seems not to have recil,-
ro:ated royalty's passion. Indeed, Fitzalan
must have been somewhat of a lOafer. for te
had scsndalous affair with a barmaid and
would surely have married the wench but for the
prompt interference Of his father, who
descended upon the couple in high wrath,
made n terrible scene and packed the young
man Oh to Athens us an agent in the diplomatic
service. This unhappy experience seems to
have taught Victoria the needed lesson. AZ
any rate she did not fall in love again until
her lethargic German cousin came along. and
when he did dawn upon the scene il was a
case of true and permanent love-one Of the
most beautiful and most touching examples oi
feminine fidelity. ,

MIR. PARNELL CRITICISED.

Dunlap's Cable Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
LONDON, Dec. 6.--Sir Charles Russell, adj
dressing meeting of liberals at Braintrec
Essex. last night, said that Mr.. Parnell had not
consented to retire even for time and that it
must now be admitted that he had
allowed personal inclination and a desire for
predOninance to overcome all consideration fer
the Irish. Il was evident that Mr.. Parnells
manifesto was based on the narrow, debased
and damnable platform of racial hatred.

Special Dispatch 70 the Evsnis Star
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 6.-President II. E.
ingalls, of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway is
in Richmond today. He says that the report
that his company had bought the branch road
from Gordonsville to Orange as a part Of it's
projected line to Quantico is entirely un-
founded. On the contrary he says that the
Chesapeake and Ohio has about abandoned the
scheme Of building or owning line to
Quantico: that such an enterprise would cost a
good deal Of money and would almost parallel
the Virginia Midland
Mr.. ingalls, says further that he has about
concluded the terms of a lease in perpetuity
with the Richmond and Danville people for tho
use OF the Virginia Midland line, the same line
that they are now using with the exception
that the Chesapeake and Ohio trains will make
connection at Gordonsville instead of Char
lottesville.
