Twelve Hundred Troops in Camp-Ex-
Agent Magilicaddy Talks.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Nov. IS
Grim preparations for war in the presence
of apparently peaceably disposed Indians
are still in progress Yesterday two bat
teries of mounted howitzers from Fort Nc
Kinney were planted on hill which COM
mands a fine sweep Of country. There are
now about 200 troops in camp here This
is the biggest assemblage of regulars in an
Indian campaign since 1877. Troops are
still on their way here and to the con-
tiguous country.
Man Who Knows the Sioux.
Dr. V. T. Magilicuddy, formerly agent
here and the best posted man on Sioux
character in America, is at the agency
now. Asked what he thought about the
situation, the doctor predicted an after
clap in the shape of an investigation that
would determine the responsibility for the
scare. He INDUCED in some severe strict
ures on the Indian bureaus policy The
present trouble arose, first, because the dis
cipline at the agency had been relaxed;
second, because the Indians were not prop
erly fed, and partly because the Messiah
craze was good excuse for demonstra-
ton in the interest of righting the many
wrongs under which the Indian labors.
Good Word for Little Wound.
Concerning Little Wound, of whom so
much has been said, Dr. Magilicuddy said
he was perfectly honest and trustworthy.
During the Sitting Bull war he was one of
Gen. Crooks scouts and was always con-
sidered faithful and reliable Big Road
was a fighting man with Sitting Bull, but
since then has abandoned the warpath and
is as good an Indian as lives now What
these men have said about their suffering
from hunger can be depended on. Sitting
Bull is mainly responsible for the'wa talk
that has been going on. This old sinner
has still great influence among his own
people and has spent all his energy in stir
ring up strife.
A Cattle killing Scene.
One of the sights at the agency when the
beef is distributed is the Indians killing
cattle. The beasts are driven out into the
prairie and the redskins hunt them pretty
much as they would buffalo. The fusil-
ade is very lively until all are killed.
Then the squaws set upon them with
Knives They dabble their hands in the
blood and have the hides off before the
flesh of the animals has stopped culver
ing. The ivers, kidneys and tongues are
eaten raw AMI the entrails devoured with
'elish. The feeders are besmeared with
blood, and as they return to camp with the
beef on their saddles and over their should.
Frs they are indeed CORY lot.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.r
NEW YORK, April 27.-The Chicago car
penters have been endeavoring to arbitrate
with the employers associations, and In this
city the organized carpenters outside OF the
American Federation are alleged to be
opposed to the undertaking, while
the date of the formal demand
upon the bosses has been fixed upon
as May 5. The number of carpenters in
New York, organized and unorganized, is
estimated at from 5000 to II, 000 The Uni
ted Order of American Carpenters is fixed
at 2,OOO. This is an independent organiza-
.tion. The Amalgamated Society of Car
penters and Joiners, which also claims
membership of 1000, is connected with the
Central Labor Union. Finally there is the
Progressive Society, composed mainly of
Socialists and other radicals, and which have
limited membership of German-speaking
carpenters, who look upon the eight-hour
They will, it is said, remain neutral in the
present fight until something positive is
developed.
The number of non-union carpenters Is
placed at about 5000 in busy times, and at
one-third of that number when work is dull.
The boss carpenters are not formally united
in this city, but it is believed that very few
will accede to the demand OF the eight-hour
men. 1t is said that many have placed
contracts out of town in anticipation of
trouble, and it is unquestionably true that
a great deal of work will be sent to smaller
cities in case there is strike.

THEOSOPHIC THEMES.
They Are Exemplified in n Letter From
Madam Blavnisky TO Her Disciples
She Advises n Modification
nf fhp
of the Secret Work.

CHICAGO, April 27.-A room at the
Palmer House was comfortably filled to-day
by the delegates to the Fourth Annual
Convention of the American Section of the
Theosophical Society. The meeting was
given something of an International charac-
ter by the presence of Bertram Keightley,
of London, as the bearer of a communica-
tion from Madam Blavatsky, the ruling
spirit of the organization. Mr.. Keightley
is the madam's private secretary. He had
also lengthy address from the Council of
the British Section, and other fraternal
communications to the convention from
branches in various European countries.
When Mr.. Keightley. a quick, nervous
young man with a beard of Partisan cut,
and marked English accent arose to read
the words entrusted to him by the high
priestess and founder, he was warmly ap-
plauded. Madame Blavatsky warned them
against the results of the present germinat-
ing, in man, of the latent psychic and occult
powers into such forms as "Christian
Science, "Mind Cure" etc.
Understand cnce for all. she said in
her letter, ''that there is nothing spiritual
or divine in any of these manifestations. The
healer interferes, consciously or uncon-
sciously. with the free mental action of the
person he treats, and this is "Black
Magic"
{. The first session of the convention was a
private one. The General Secretary's re-
port, which was made public, said
the visit to Japan by Colonel o.
colt, one of the founders of
the organization, had been of momentous
import to the Buddhist Church. An in
formal conference of leaders at Bombay, the
report also stated, has taken the place of
the convention usually used at headquar-
tiers in Adyar, India. Allegiance to this
headquarters was announced to be still
warm, although, at the advice of Madam
Blayatsky and Colonel Olcott, its wishes
regarding dues had not been obeyed. The
report recommended the suspension of all
forms of initiation. The existing one, the
report sale, while solemnly symbolic, merely
confer signs and words by which
membership can be proved, and it
was thought that this could more
simply be accomplished. The objections
were that the society was not secret body,
was not the custodian of any occult truths,
was morally an organization of students and
philanthropists. The present system of
grips and passwords arouses, in many coun-
tries, distrust and antagonism.
Papers on theosophic subjects by Mrs.
Phelon, OF Chicago, and the Chairman, DR..
J. D. Buck, of Cincinnati, occupied the
remaining time of the convention.
