OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 3O-A special to
the Bee, from Pine Ridge, late tonight,
says Red Hawk and Gay Belt, agency
police, have just returned from spy work
at the camp of the hostiles in Bad
Lands. One had horse shot from un-
der him, and both were chased away
with bullets. The hostiles said they
were prepared for last great battle,
and all were thirsting for blood.
Another special to the Bee from Pine
Ridge says: The Indian police last night
notified Agent Roger that panic had
been caused in the camp of the friendly
Indians, by an urgent invitation to join
the dancers. Roger sent an extra guard
of one hundred scouts, but in spite Of
this, the Indian village melted away
during the night. and this morning over
two-thirds of the 5000 who were here
last night, had disappeared. Itis learned
that the hostiles moved their camp into
the Bad Lands, and there await the
coming of the troops. Scouts say that
region is better adapted for Indian pur-
poses than the lava beds in Oregon. 1t
is an utterly barren region of precipitous
cliffs and cations. Few white men are
acquainted with it, but the Indians
know it perfectly. The fact that it will
be possible from there to con-
tinue their raids on the settlers on
the surrounding lands with impunity
constitutes the reason, according to the
correspondent, why the troops should
push after the Indians now. A scout
who brought information of the move
ment, said the hostiles had slaughtered
800 head of cattle, mostly government
property. General Brooke received dis
patch from General Ruger, warning him
that about 1000 Cheyenne warriors are
on the way from Cheyenne reservation
to join the hostiles. This was the day
set for the appearance of the Messiah,
but he did not appear. A half-breed

NIORLEY'S MANIFESTO,
He Alleges That Parnell Has Done Him
Gross Injustice.

Gross Injustice.
LONDON, Nov. 30.-Morey has written
the press in reply to Parnell's action
with reference to the land bill. Both
Gladstone and himself completely recog-
nized that their relations with the Irish
party were those of an independent al
lance, and not fusion. "Parnell,"
he says, "imputed to me the remark
able object of absorbing the Irish party
into English politics by means of Office.
l made no such proposal. 1t was
natural that in free confidential dis
cussion of the possible future, l should
wish to make sure for Gladstone's in
formation that Parnell would still hold
to his self-denying declaration of 1880.
His answer was what 1 fully antici-
pated."
Morely says that Parnell's account of
what passed on the same occasion on
the subject of evicted tenants of the
plan f-campaign estates, is incorrect.
Though he, (Morely), foresaw difficulty
in the way of the legislation, he never
said that he or any OF his colleagues had
formed any conclusions against this leg
islation. He did say that, whether by
direct or indirect action, evicted tenant is
ought not to be allowed to suffer. He
never hinted that it would be impossi-
BILE for an Irish parliament to do any
thing in the matter.
In conclusion he says that on Novem-
Der 10th he was under the most distinct
impression that Parnell did not object to
the suggestions thrown out at Hawarden
a year ago, as subjects for provisional
examination, If those suggestions were
likely to make the scheme generally &C.
ceptable to Great Britain.

purposes and have station from which
they should never be absent. They
would stay the entrance of an
enemy until battle-ships could
arrive. This type is less ex-
pensive than sea-going ships, and an
swer as no other type can the require
ments OF American harbors. Further
more the movement towards the crea-
ton OF a naval militia would receive ad-
ditional strength and encouragement.
The harbor defense ships would be the
rallying point, drill hall and naval
school for young men who had shown an
earnestness in the organization of ma
val militia. 1t should be their privilege
to become the principal source Of supply
for the complement of both officers and
men OF their local ships, and the result
would be an addition of incalculable
strength to the naval resources of the
country. If such plan is adopted, it is
reasonable to believe that Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Bait more, New Or
leans, San Francisco and the cities on
Puget sound will become centers of ma
val strength, instead Of being as they
are today conspicuous examples of mari
time weakness and inviting attack.

A Widow Killed While Attempting to
Prevent Bloodshed.
DAYTON, Wash, Nov. 30.-Mrs. Sarah
Hester, a widow, was accidentally shot
and killed last night at her farm, about
seven miles from here, by Charles
Robinson, farm hand. Mrs. Hester
entertained number of friends during
the evening, among them G. G.. Ander-
son, formerly in her employ. After all
the guests had departed, except Ander-
son, who it seems was paying his ad-
dresses to Mrs. Hester, Charles Robin
son remarked that it was about bed
time. Aderson made an insulting
remark to Robinson, who then ordered
him out of the house. Anderson then
drew revolver, and pointing the
weapon towards Robinson, pulled
the trigger, but the cap snap
ped several times, and the weapon
was not discharged. Robinson then Sc
cured a shot gun. At this juncture Mrs.
Hester pushed between the men, think
ing she could prevent bloodshed. The
gun, however, was discharged, and Mrs.
Hester received the full charge in her
right side. Robinson at once surrend-
cred to the sheriff, but Anderson es-
capped, and posse is now looking for
him. The coroner's jury rendered ver-
dict OF accidental death by shooting.

CHICAGO. Nov. 30.-Tonight while
O'Brien, Gill and O'Connor were draw
ing up the document severing their con-
nection with Parnell on the lines agreed
upon with their colleagues in the after
noon, the other delegates, Dillon, Sulli-
van and Harrington, were dining in an
other part OF the city in company with
Mrs. Parnell, the aged mother of the
man five Of them had decided must le-
tire. So far as can be learned, knowl-
edge OF what had been done was kept
from the old lady. and to those who
knew what was going on down town,
the scene must have seemed strangely
unreal.
The delegates who signed the mani
festo were deeply agitated this evening,
but felt that they had taken the only
proper course. 1t was announced late
tonight that Harrington, who did not
sign the manifesto, will separate from
his comrades and return to Ireland. In
an interview Harrington said the leader

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-Adjutant-General
Williams tonight received a telegram
from General Brooke of Pine Ridge
agency, saying there is no material
change in the situation. The reported
depredations by Indians are not yet sub
stantlated, but parties are looking into
the matter.
General Brooke adds: "rhe Indians

stone to Terms.


LONDON, Nov. 30.-Parnell and such of
his party as support him, had a confer
ence last night. 1t is understood that
Condor, Roche, Deasy and Lane urged
Parnell to retire. Parnell, however, ex-
pressed his determination to fight to the
last. If ParnelPs supporters adopt OBJ
structive tactics at the meeting to-
morrow, the anti-Parnellites will

and vote for his retirement, else.
where. The report is current that un-
less Gladstone withdraws the denials in
his letter, parnell will produce proofs
hitherto withheld OF the accuracy of his
statement.
There is rumor that Parnell has Of
ferred to retire voluntarily, if Gladstone
will sign paper pledging himself to in
cluded in the next home rule bill certain
points specified by Parnell.
The Daily Telegraph says Parnell has
sent an ultimatum to Gladstone with
the threat that unless he received within
twenty-four hours reply favorable to
his interests, he will reveal every ything
concerning the relations between the
English radical party and himself. Glad
stone ignored it.

PARNELL rs MAD.
DIR. Parker and Michael Davitt Express
Their Views.

Their Views.
LONDON, Nov. 30.-Dr. Parker, in his
sermon today, said Parnell's manifesto
showed that the writer must be mad.
Michael Davitt, in an interview re-
garding the declaration of the Irish
delegates in America, said tonight it
rendered Parnell's continuance in the
leadership an impossibility. Its weight
with the Irish people will be immense.
The party has come through the ordeal
with the greatest honor, and he believed
it will remain united and independent.
He believes tomorrow's decision will be
practically unanimous. A few may join
ParnelPs treason. If Parnell remains in
parliament, and is hostile to the Irish
party, he will be an intolerable menace
to their efficiency and unity. Ireland to
a man will repudiate him, and Cork win
do its duty. Home rule must not be
further endangered by misplaced gener-
osity towards him or those who may up
hold his effort to smash the party.
Though he has lost Ireland's confidence,
he still retains their gratitude; but if
he makes further attempt to disturbe
the party he will be crushed.

Arohbishops Walsh and Croke Say Par

DUBLIN, Nov. 30.-Archbishop Walsh,
in an interview today, said his recent
utterances were guarded because Par
nell had not then spoken. Now, he
says, unless Parnell clears himself of the
charge of adultery, the party taking him
as their leader will not find the support,
cooperation or confidence of the Irish
bishops. Parnell's breach of Glad
stones confidence, THE archbishop con-
sidered blamable.
Archbishop Croke, in telegram to
Mccarthy, said: "All are sorry for
Parnell; but still in Gods name let him
retire quietly and with good grace from
the leadership. II he does, the party
will remain united in an honorable alli-
ance with the Gladstonians, and home
rule will be certain. If he does not, tile
alliance will be dissolved. home rule in

the advantage of the cause of furnishing
conclusive testimony of the capacity OF
our party and people for self-govern
ment. We cannot relinquish
the hope that in the face of such de-
cisive action by the representatives of
the Irish people, Parnelps sense of
patriotism will withhold him from
plunging Ireland into those horrors of
dissension which have go often robbed
her of liberty at the moment it was
within her grasp, and save him from un-
doing in one passionate hour the results
of all his Incompatible services to his
country"
