ALBANY, Aug. 27.-Dennis Fennhan,
editor of The independent citizen and a
member of the executive board of Dis
trict Assembly 246 is authority for the
the statement that a general order for Il
strike Of all knights of Labor on the
Central road will be given Immediately,
and on all connecting roads aiding the
Central to move freight on Thursday.
Messrs. Wright and Devlin Of the execu.
tive board, K. of L., were interviewed
by United Press reporter. "Che ac-
ton Of the board in the West was no
surprise to us whatever. We had an
ticipated such q move, and, in fact, had
been assured by Mr.. Sargent before he
left New York that such an action
would have to he taken as their charters
did not allow a strike in sympathy.
The knights, however, will
Have Their Direct Support,
and that means plenty Of money and a
general strike, if, in filling our places,
their rights are infringed upon" Mr..
Wright said: "The impression seems to
be that the fight is ended because i, gen.
eral strike has not been ordered. That
is wrong. We did not expect general
strike except in our own order and that
will occur at once. All that Mr.. Pow
derby asked has beeen accorded him

action we should feel even more encour

Census Shows 2,2OO Fewer Indians at
Rosebud Agency Than Ratioms Arc
Issued For.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Reccntly the
Indian office received the first report
from A. I. Lea. who is engaged i'll tax
ing the census of the members of the
Sioux tribes in the Dakotas. He has
completed the enumeration of the In
dials i'll the Rosebud agency in South
Dakota, and finds that there are 5,1GG
men, women and children located there.
AS the Indian office has been for the last
few years distributing rations at the
agency there OH the basis of Il popoula-
ton of about ! 800, naturally the inquiry
arose us to
Wha! Had Become of the Odd 2,.OO
Indians. The query was put to Indian
Agent Wright, who has reported each
quarter the number of Indians on the
reservation, and in reply at first he said
that he himself would take census.
This was done, anl us result he re-
ported that he found only about l25
more Indians than Mr.. Lea had found.
He thcrcupon accounted for the discrep-
mcy between his original figures and
those of Mr.. Lea by stating that owing
10 the epidemic which prevailed
among the Indians last year and the
prevalence of the measles and small poX
among the children, the number had
decreased. Indian Commissioner Nor
gan looked over thcreport of the agency
physician for the year ending June 30,
1890, and found nineteen deaths re-
ported and nothing said of an epidemic.
He tlscreupon reached the conclusion
that Agent Wrisht's explanation was
hardly adequate to account for Il NOR
tality which had swept ont of existence
so per cent of the Indians of the Rose
bud agency.
Directed an Investigation.
Secretary Noble concurred in this
view. and an order has been issued Iii
rectinS that an investigation be made of
the affairs at the Rosebud agency, with
the view of ;:scert;ining the present To-
cation Of the 2.20O Indians who have dis
appeared since Agent Wright's last re-
port and the taking OF the census, which
has Just been concluded. Special Agent
Lea is going on with the work of taking
the census; of the Sioux tribes Of Indians,
and perhaps he will discover that large
bodies of Indians are also missing from
other reservations.

A Lively Time With Pail Of I

n Lively Time W lth Il Fan OF Tar.
Lewiston CMel journal.
Mr.. Buzzell put some tar in tin
pail and placed it upon the stove to
melt the other day. In the bottom OF
the pail was a small hole which had
not been noticed. AS the tar began
to melt it flowed through the hole
and soon took fire, making lively
blaze. Mr.. Buzzell seized the pail
and started to run Out out of doors
with it, in doing which he received
some painful burns on his hands.
In his hurry he did not see the
shepherd dog lying on the floor, and
stumbled over him, spilliDg a quanti-

tail, which was long and bushy.
The dog scared out of his wits, and
with his burning tail Taring up like

kitchen and dining room, setting fire
to the walls, wood work, tables and
chairs. Finally they managed to get
the dog out of doors, and the animal
extinguished his own fire by rolling.
The aid of about fifty of the men
from the tannery was quickly obtain

was finally extinguished, as there
was a good supply of water on hand.
AS it was, damage to the extent OF
$1,000 was done by the fire, the loss
being covered by insurance. The dog
