WEST SUPERIOR, Wis.,, Dec. Cir
cult Judge Marshall has rendered de-
cision in the case of The State of Wis
consin. in relation to Edward c. Lin
coin.against the Board of Review of the
City of Superior. This decision, in
effect, declares the act OF the legislature
OF 1868, vacating the plat of Deans ad-
ditlon to Superior, to be invalid. Since
the passage of that act the property
known as Deans addition has been
assessed for taxes as land and not
as lots. Recently Edward c. Lin
coin, owner of lot in Deans ad-
dition, made application to the
board of review to have this lot assessed
to him as lot and not as lands. TIE
board denied his application, basing the
refusal upon the legislative act of 1868.
Mr.. Lincoln excepted to the ruling. and
brought action in the circuit court for
the purpose of reversing the decision of
the board. In the hearing of the case
the counsel for the reIator took the DO
sitiOn that the act of 1868, vacating the
plat, was invalid. and on that ground
asked that the ruling of the board be re-
versed. Judge Marshall sustained
that position. The decision, while
directly affecting bnt Que lot IN the ad-
dition, is more tar-reaching In it's scope.
There are upward of 1900 lots in that
addition. which stand upon precisely
the same fOating. These lots have since
1869 been assessed, taxed and sold for
the non-payment of taxes as land and
not as lots. Large numbers of tax titles
have accumulated thereon. The effect
of the decision is to render such tax
titles invalid. There are also some
eleven additions to Superior similarly
situated. and these will in measure be
affected.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-in an interview as
to whether he saw any reason for
changing the opinion already expressed
by HIM on the Parnell leadership, Mr..
Harrington, one of the Irish envoys,
said:
Il am sorry to observe that some Of
The best known among the Irish bishops
nave expressed themselves against Mr..
Parnell being continued in the leader
snip, and am still more sorry wneE
remember the ground upon which they
have based their opinion. If we were
selecting leader for the Irish people l
think IL might naturally enter INTO our
consideration to give due weight to
the charge made against Mr.. Parnell.
But that is not the position.
10 my mind the majority of Irish
priests will not follow the lead of the
two Irish archbishops in this matter.
MIR. Parnell is Protestant. They have
no spiritual charge over him and they
VIII see the absurd inconsistency of
setting him aside and calling upon
their people to follow the leadership of
England politicians, scores of whom

DelusiOn the Cause of the Craze

Insufficient Food and Religious
Delusion the Cause of the Craze.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Gen. Miles,
who has been in Washington since last
Saturday night in daily consultation
with Secretary Proctor, Gen. Schofield
and Secretary Noble upon matters re-
lating to the Indian situation in the
Northwest, left for Chicago to-day. The
general believes that danger is immi-
nent.
1.-The seriousness of the situation" )"
he says, "has not been exaggerated.
The disaffection is more widespread
than it has been at any time for years.
The conspiracy extends to more differ
ent tribes than have heretofore been
hostile but that are now in full sym-
pathy with each other. and are
scattered over arger area os
country than in the whole history of
Indian warfare. 1t is more compre-
hensive plot than anything ever in
splred by the Prophet, Tecumseh or
even Pontiac. The causes of this diff
Guilty are easy of location. Insufficient
food supplies, religious delusions and
the mate disposition of the savage to go
to war. must he held responsible"
''Are the campaign preparations on
the part of the government complete?"
was asked.
Not quite" replied the general.
Everything will be ready i'm few
days, though. Troops and supplies are
Ell route and will be ready very speed
lily. All that is possible is being done
to encourage the loyal and reduce the
number and influence Of the hostile,
and in this way an outbreak may be
averted. l sincerely hope there will be
no hoStllltleS, for general uprising
would be a serious affair."
How many Indians will you have to
contend wit?"
altogether there are in the North
west about 10000 who are affected by
the Messiah craze; that means fully
5000 fighting men. Of this number, at
least a third would not 90 on the war
path, so that leaves us with about 4,0CO
adversaries. There are 5000 other In
dianS in the territory, who will need TO
be watched if active operations take
place. Four thousand Indians can make
an immense amount of trouble. But a
tithe of that number were concerned in
the Minnesota massacre, yet they killed
more than 500 settlers in very brief
space of time"
What is the totai strength of your
force?'
Gen. Miles avoided the question some
what by referring to the great necessity
which existed for more cavalry.
Altogether" he said, I'VE have about
1000 mounted men. We have plenty of
infantry, but you cannot catch mounted
Indians with white foot soldiers. The
infantry had one or two good fights in
1876 and ~, but such engagements are
rare in frontier warfare"

ginning of winter?"
"Yes, in some respects 1t is" replied
the general. "Their argument is good,
though. They are better armed now
than they ever were, and their supply
of horses is all that could be desired.

WASHING Ton, Dec. 2.-In the senate
Mr.. Hoar moved to proceed to the con-
sideratiOn of the house bill to amend
and supplement the election laws of
The United States, and to provide for
the more efficient enforcement of such
laws. Mr.. German demanded the yeas
and nays on the motion. The yeas and
nays were taken, and the vote Ga strictly
party one) resulted: Yeas Al, navs 30.
so the election bill was taken up, and
the clerk began to read it. Mr.. HOar
suggested that instead of the original
house bill being read, the substitute re-
ported by the senate committee ON
privileges and elections be read.
Several Democratic senators expressed
dissent to that proposition, and Mr.. Har-
riS said: mo, no, let the original
house bill be read" So the clerk pro-
ceeded with the reading of the original
house bill. The reading went monoton-
Ously on and to empty chairs up to Q

the consideration of the election law.
and Mr.. German rose to argue against

decide what, if anything, was neces-
sary to be done as result of the COM
mittee's visit to Chicago. Mr. Flower
said he thought the committee was
unanimous in the opinion that the ma
tional commission should give the Chi
cago local committee more liberty. The
commissions duties should be merely
supervisory. The Chicago people
should control the management of af-
fairs. and be made responsible for the
results. He was opposed to any divided
responsibility.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-The Irish envoys
will proceed with their tour as origi-

ments make it imperative for them to
return to London with the least possible
delay. This decision was reached at a
conference this evening, during which
the situation was freely and clearly
discussed. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion that the mission of the delegation
was in behalf of the Irish cause in gen
eral and the evicted tenantry in partic-
ular, rather than in behalf of any par
tlcular man or leader, and that there
fore as natural sequence the move
ment ought not to be allowed 10 suffer
