vote in the various meetings of Parnell-
ties, on the question of Mr.. Parnell's
retention of the leadership shows that
the most eminent members of the Par

retirement, while the fifty men who
were insistent in season and out of sea-

affairs in spite of every thing, were
those of paratively minor ability
or individual influence. This solid

agentat Lower Brule, heard that Il ghost
dance was in operation at the mouth of

police to the scene for the purpose of
breaking up the dance and arresting

the ground, and making a charge sue

was Chicken Head, who, like the others,
was armed. lie attempted to resist,
but the police were not to be deferred,
and Captain Fire-Thunder, Chief of the

rushed in on him and graSping him
around the waist carried him bodily to

There is talk among the Indians OF

work faithfully and promptly. and will
not be deferred from carrying into eff
feet any orders. 1t is not anticipated
that these Indians will commit any
deeds of violence here, but If they
should get away and join the others
they would undoubtedly act with the
majority. The agent and police SO far
have them under control, however.

CHICAGO. Nov 29.-General Miles
left for Washington Thursday after
noon, in response to request of the
Secret ry of War received several days
since. He had postponed his departure
until the arrival from Pine Ridge
Agency, the seat Of the alleged troubles,
Of Colonel Ludington of the quarter
masters department.. This official ar
rived at noon Thursday, and his report
to the Commander of the Department of
the Missouri was to the effect that tho
energetic action manifested by tho
troops has had most salutary
effect upon the disaffectcd redskins.
He added that the anticipated danger
might be considered as fairly past
This report tended TO confirm the dis
patches received here by General Miles
since Tuesday, as well as to strongly
bear out the theory that the extent of the
redskin uprising in the Northwest had
been more than exaggerated. As ono
Oh the pfOHlIu cHL army oLIGIttiS az AiSesa-
quarters put it, lit was more of cor
respondents than an Indian scare.
At the same time, General Miles goes
to Washington with the recommends
ton that, with the view of avoiding any
possible trouble, tho troops now in
service around the Indian agency should
be kept in tho same localities until
spring. He is also strongly in favor OF
both disarming and dismounting the
aborigines, not only during the present
situation, but for all time to come. He
believes they should not have the Same
facilities in the future for arming and
mounting themselves as they have in
the past, and is of the opinion that
if proper precautions are taken at
this particular time the liability Of fut-
ure Indian uprisings may be avoided.

New YORK, July 29.-Edison has invented
another thing, but has not yet put it to the
test. 1t is an improved Telegraph for signal
ing long distances, and may be used at
night with artificial light as well as in the
day time. The Wizard has been at work
for some time on this instrument, and a
test will be made in the next few weeks at
Mount Dunderburg, between Peekslzill and
New York, the OBJECT Being to demon
strate the possibility of signaling long dis
tances with the instrument, the fact having
been proven beyond the shadow of u doubt
that it would work short distances.
The principal advantage of this instru-
ment over the old style Of Photographs that
the enemy, even if they may know the code
which is used, cannot read the signals. 1t
may also be used at right with calcium
lights. There Is no belief that Edison's in
vention will ever take the place of the
signal corps. The instruments are too I'M
wieldy ana heavy to make itpracticable for
field work, or for any work in fact, except

liShed between distant points
