O'Brien and the Ex-Leader Will
Meet in Bouiogne.
BoULoGNE, Dec. 3O.-Mr. Parnell, ac-
companied by number of his lieuten-
ants, landed here from the Folkestone
boat. Messrs. O'Brien and Gill have
also arrived from Amiens. Mr.. Parnell
was accompanied by Messrs. John Red
mond, w. Redmond. Kenny and Clancy.
all OF whom are members of the British
house of Commons: Scully, the defeated
candidate of the ParneiIites at North
Kilkenny, and Mr.. Byrne, editor of the
Freeman's Journal. Mr.. Parnell looked
well in health when he landed here,
though his right eye was still bandaged,
the result OF the stuff thrown in his face
during the political campaign in North
Kilkenny. Shortly after landing Mr..
Parnell went to the Hotel du Louvre.
where he eventually met William
OBrien. Messrs. Parnell and O'Brien
then retired to private room, which
had been engaged by telegraph, and the
two leaders renamed in conference for
about half an hour. At the expiration
OF that time Mr.. Parnell and Mr..
OBrien had luncheon together, SEEM
Ing to De on very good terms.
Naturally there is considerable spec
ulatiOn as to what took place at the con-
ference, but little or nothing is actually
known at present concerning the ar
rangement discussed. After luncheon,
it was unanimously decided that only
Irish members of parliament should
take part in the conference. conse-
quently Messrs. Scully and O'Bryne
were excluded from the meeting which
took place during the afternoon between
the Irish leaders. 1t is not expected
that any definite information OF the re-
suit of the negotiations will be made
known tonight.

result was that the WatutaS were again

killed and had nine men wounded.
Lieut.. Sigl, of the German force, was
wounded in the head. The Watutas es-

quantity of ivory, gunpowder. about
100 muskets, and quantity of

RESTLESS BUCKS.
War News Excites Them and They
Take to the Hills.

Take to the Hills.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec. 80.
The news of the battle at Wounded
Knee excited the Indians at the agency
in an alarming manner. The entire
camp was soon in commotion and the
lestlesS young bucks at once took to the
hills, apparently eager for the fray.
Even the most loyal of the Indians
were affected and the couriers them
selves seemed eager for blood. 1t was
not long before desultory firing was
heard near the agency.
Little Wounds men have fled back to
the range north of here toward Two
Strike, and both gangs are preparing to
attack the agency. The firing last
night was just west of the school house,
and between the police and Two Strikes
gang. Bullets whistled past the build
lngS in a startling way. The troops
here are the infantry under Maj. Wheat
on, with one Gatling, four heavy guns
and one Hotchkiss rifle. There will
probably be only heavy skirmishing un-
til morning. Every one hopes that the
troops will arrive from the railroad by
that time.
There are 5000 Sioux encamped about
tiie agency buildings. lnelr tepeeS are
pitched i'll hemisphere to the north,
west and east, and along deep rayine,
through which Clay creek flows. If all
these Indians revolt it would not take
them long to wipe out the handful of in
fantry from Omaha and massacre the
entire camp. Every building at the
agency is builtOf wood, and after lOotng
the traders stores and the government
storehouses the Indians could complete
their work in short order by applying
the torch. The Indian school houses,
which are just west of the agency
buildings and within rifle shot of Gen.
Brooke's headquarters, are immense
wooden structures. There are nearly
200 Indian boys and girls in the schools.
The teachers are whites or half-breeds.
People who can leave the agency are
doing SO as rapidly as possible.

/.
Chairman of the Lac vui ParIe dele
CATION said that there were only twenty
one delegates from that county; the re-
port credited the county with twenty
two. 1t was understood that this was a
move to exclude John Lathrop, ex-
secretary of the Alliance, as delegate.
President Hall put the motion to the
convention, when Mr.. Lathrop ap-
peared to be ousted by an overWheJni-
ing vote. There was instantly a call
for a reconsideration Of the vote. Presi-
dent Hall, in placing this before the con-
vention. remarked thatgrave charges had
been made against Mr.. Lathrop, their
late secretary. If these charges were
to come up in that convention, they
surely were not going to deny him an
opportunity of stating his side of the
case. 1t was only common fairness
common justice-that Mr.. Lathrop
should be admitted as a delegate.
Hon. P. H. Rahilly excitedly jumped
on the floor, and, amid cheers, declared: ::
Il hope no gentleman will prefer
charges against any officer or ex-oficer
of this Alliance. Let US have no moro
quarreling."
This regrettable episode was ended
informing the delegates that no attempt
was being made toexclude MIR. Lathrop.
There were only twenty-one delegates
from Lac qui Parle county, and Mr..
Lathrop was one of them.
Five delegates from Pipestone County,
Industrial union asked to be admitted
to the convention. The constitutional
question was raised. and. amid storm
of questions" Doc" Fish rose TO ex-
plain. 1t was decided to give the dele
egates the right to the floor and debate,
but not 10 vote.

soldiers. Now with the Indians flying
where they might, it was easier to reach
them. The Gatling and Hotchkiss guns
were trained and then began a heavy
firing which lasted half an hour, with
frequent heavy volleys of musketry and
canon. 1t was war of determination
now with the troopers, and it was diff
cult to restrain them. Tactics were al
most abandoned. About the only tactic
was to kill while it could be done where
ever an Indian could be seen. Down
into the creek and up over the bare hills
they were followed by artillery and
musketry fire, and for several minutes
| the engagement went on until not live
Indian was in sight.

ANOTHER ENCOUNTER.
Indians Attack Wagon Train and
Are Exterminated.

Are Exterminated.
RUsHVILLE, Neb., Dec. 3O.-The
Omaha Bee correspondent telegraphs:
''Advlces from the seat OF war give uthe
news OF another encounter between the
troops and Indians at point within
four miles of the agency. The Seventh
and Ninth cavalry were just coming in
from yesterdays battle field, followed
at some distance by their provision
train. On reaching the point named
large body Of Indians, headed by Chief
Two Strike, dashed suddenly upon the
train, captured it and were making off
toward the Bad Lands when the
cavalry wheeled and gave pur-
suit. In the battle which fol-
lowed, over thirty Indians were
wounded. but no soldiers were killed.
According to the latest reports Two
Strikes Indians had yesterday been
considered peaceable and subdued, but
their sudden change of mind causes the
gravest fears here that perhaps none of
the so-called friendlies can be relied on.
However, word from Gen. Brooke to the
settlers to-day is somewhat reassuring.
it being to the effect that great body
of the savages have remained loyal all
the while, and that nearly all the rebels
are dead. He further says the settlers
here are not now in danger. Reliable
news is also at hand that Col. Henry is
now approaching the agency with
700 Indians captured in the Bad
Lands. This is believed to IN
clude all the remnant of the rebels
on the reservation, and hopes are
entertained of a speedy settlement. Ii
has cost the lives OF about 25O Indians
and 25 or 80 soldiers killed and wounded
to effect this result, if indeed it may be
said that peace is yet established. The
body OF gallant Capt. Wallace and the
other dead soldiers arrived here at
noon from the agency and will be
shipped to Fort Robinson, the nearest
military post. Rushville is crowded
with settlers. The churches and all
public rooms are thrown open, and no
effort is being spared to make the
refugees comfortable. They are here as
previously reported, on the advice of
Gen. Brooke. They are not only ready
to defend their homes, but MANY are
anxious to enlist with the regulars if
further fighting should occur.

around the agency building, and, if an
uprising occurs. as now seems only toe
probable, nothing can save from an
awful death the corporal's guard
of infantrymen sent from Omaha to
guard the ranch. Every succeeding
hour makes danger more imminent.
From midnight until early this morning
deSultOry firing in the outskirts of the
agency warned the brave defenders of
the agency buildings that their hours of
safety were numbered. Little Wound
and Two Strike, inflamed to avengful
passion by the news of Big Foot'S fatal
treachery, are reported TO be massing
their bands for instant attack. The In
dian police already have had lively
skirmishing with the hostiles in the vic
unity of the school building. If an at
tack is made the result will be the in
stant destruction of the entire camp, as
all the buildings are of wood, and as
they are in almost defenseless condi-
tion. Everything is hoped for upon the
arrival of Gen. Miles, who is on his way
to the scene of danger. A panic also
prevails at Rushtown, but it is thought
the town is not at present in danger.

CALLED TO ORDER.
The Great Convention Opens at
the Newmarket.

the Newmarket.
After night spent in lobbying the
delegates to the Farmers Alliance con-
vention were rather slow in repairing
to the Newmarket theater yesterday
morning. and, consequently 1t was
nearly 10 o'clock when President Hall
raped the 700 or 500 delegates present
to order. The hall was we'll filled, but
not with Alliance men exclusively as
the report of the committee
on credentials demonstrated. There
was host of active workers, almost as
i've work in securing the Republican
nomination for governor for Gov. Mer-
riam two years ago. These men, in
stead of taking seats in the rear of the
hall, t1Ocked to the front, and, by mix
ing with the delegates, assisted very
materially in helping the Donnelly
men on numerous motions.
When the convention was raped to
order President Hall made few re-
marks complimentary to the Alliance,
and especially calling attention to its
rapid growth in the last few months.
He was followed by Mr.. Donnelly, who
presented the resolution adopted by the
executive committee, which provided a
pau lOA tiiO oPpOlhblll VI a COul
tee on credentials. Mr.. Dohnelly an
nounced that blanks had been printed
to conform with the terms of the reso-
luton. ''Jack" Diamond, of Blue
Earth, moved the adoption of this reso-
luton. This was opposed by Albert
Warren of Lincoln county.w who thought
no Alliance that
Had Not Paid
its dues should have the right to vote.
The resolution was carried when it was
understood thatin cases where delegates
were not present alternates should cast
their votes.
Senator ID. W. Hixon, of Grant county,
was named as chairman of this commit
tee by the chair, and after each county
had selected chairman to act with
him the delegates resumed their old oc-
cupation of working for their respect
i've favorites. While the credentials
of the delegates were being examined
by the committee in the room back of
the stage, the delegates grew very rest
less. When Mr.. DonnelIy presented
his scheme he announced that it would
enable the committee to report iii half
an hour. Shortly before noon, however,
tired of talking where it was useless, an
ardent Donnelly man, Pat Rahilly,
who, as one Of the delegates re-
marked last evening, was missing
during the late campaign, bobbed
up With motion requesting the sage

WOUNDED KNEE CREEK, S. D., Dec.
B0.-The correspondent of the Omaha
Bee wires his paper as follows: ''ln the
morning, as soon as the ordinary mill
tary work of the early day was done,
Maj. Whitesides determined upon dis
arming the Indians at once, and at
o'clock the camp of Big Foot was sur
rounded by the Seventh cavalry and
Taylor's scouts. The Indians were sit
ting in half circle. Four Hotchkiss
guns were placed upon hill about 200
yards distant. Every preparation was
made, not especially to fight, but to
show the Indians the futility of re-
sistance. They seemed to recognize
this fact, and when Maj. Whitesides
ordered them to come up twenty at
time and give up their arms, they came,
but not with their guns in sight. OF
the first twenty but two or three
displayed arms. These they gave up
sullenly and observing the futlity of
that method of procedure, Maj. White
sides ordered a detachment of K and A
troops, on foot, TO enter the tepees and
search them. This work had hardly
been entered upon when the one hun
dred and twenty desperate Indians
turned upon the soldiers, who were
gathered closely about the tepees and
immediatly
Storm of Firing
was poured upon the military. 1t was
as though the order to search had been
signal. The latter, not anticipatin
any such action, had been gathered in
very closely and the first firing was
terribly disastruos to them. The reply
was Immediate, however, and in an in
slant it seemed that the draw in which
the Indian camp was set was sunken
VesuYius. The soldiers, maddened at the
sight of their falling comrades, hardly
awaited the command, and in moment
the whole front was sheet of fire, above
which the smoke rolled, obscuring the
central scene from view. Through this
horrible curtain single Indians could be
seen at times flying before the fire, but
after the first discharge from the car
bines of the troopers, there were few of
them left. They fell on all sides like
grain in the course of scythe. Indians
and soldiers lay together, and, wounded,
fought on the ground. Off through the
draw toward the bluffs the few remain
ing warriors fled, turning occasionally
to fire, but now evidently caring more
for escape than battle. Only the wound
ed Indians seemed possessed of
The Courage of Devils.
From the ground where they had
fallen they continued to fire until their
ammunition was gone,or until killedby
the soldiers. Both sides forgot every
thing only tue loading and discharging
of guns. 1t was only in the early part
of the affray that handto-hand fighting
was seen. The carbines were dubbed,
sabers cleaned and war clubs circled in
the air and came down like thunderbolts.
But this was only for a short time. The
Indians could not stand that storm from
the soldiers--they had not hoped 10. 1t
was only stroke of life before death.
The remnant fed. and the battle be-
came hunt. 1t was now that the
artillery was called into requisi-
tion. Before the fighting was
so close that the guns could not be
trained without danger of death to the
