CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-The board of lady
managers of the worlds fair this morn
ing reassembled and elected Mrs Potter
Palmer as president, Mrs. General John
A. Logan having declined the nomina-
ton in favor of Mrs. Palmer.
When the national commission re-
sumed its session this morning, the
trouble between the executive and for
eign committees was settled, by the
adoption OF resolution setting forth
that no disrespect to the foreign COM
mittee was intended, but simply an in
timation as to the state of the funds
available, that strict economy was nec-
essary in all the committees.
The auditing committee reported the
expense of the commission to date to be
$51 900.
The report OF the committee on build
ings and grounds was then taken up.
This is one of the bombs
which was expected to explode
with great violence, as it embraced
what proportion of the fair should be
placed on the lake front. 1t recon-
mended that the fine arts and decorative
art buildings, music hall, electrical dis
play, water palace and steel tower, with
other germaine exhibits, be placed on
the lake front, with the main depart
ment buildings, government and state
exhibits in Jackson park, and the over
flow in the Midway Plaisance and Wash
ington park.
Commissioner De Young of G California,
who introduced a resolution several
days ago resembling the acceptance of
the sites, announced that he had not
called it up because he and all the
others were now satisfied with the man
ner in which the buildings had been
allotted. With all the buildings grouped
together he did not care which of the
side affairs were put on the lake front.
He moved to strike out the words "dec-
orative art buildings" and leave it SIM

about 300 braves of the Two Kettle band,
all painted up and acting in very sus-
picious manner. Cowboys who arrived
here tonight stated that the Indians
killed number OF cattle, and are act
ing in strange manner, and the famous
Indian, Steps he-Cripple, had told
them thay had better keep on their
guard. Some of the chiefs told Norvil
that several of the hostiles had urged
them to go and join in the ghost dances,
making threats if they did not enough
force would be sent against them to kill
them all. They claim to stand in great
fear of the hostiles.
All Quiet at Rosebud.
Fort NIoBRARA, Neb., via Valentine.
Nov. 20.-The troops from Niobrara
reached Rosebud agency early this morn
ing, and found all quiet and peaceful.
The Messiah craze has not been as prev
alent at the Rosebud agency, and most
of those affected by it left several days
ago for Pine Ridge to participate in the
ghost dances. The presence of large
numbers of Indians with dozen wagons
yesterday in Valentine, for the purpose
OF freighting agency goods to Rosebud,
when they knew the troops were march
ing to the agency, was assuring to the
people that little trouble was to be ap-
pretended. 1t is also considered good
evidence that there will be no trouble at
Fine Ridge, where, it is thought, most
OF the present row was caused by the new
and inexperienced agent.
More Troops to March.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 20.-Orders have
been received at Fort Omaha to have the
four remaining companies of the Second
infantry ready to go to the front at a
moments notice. The companies i'm
mediately began to pack up, and inside
OF two hours everything necessary in
winter campaign was ready and has
been placed on board the cars. These
companies, as far at least as the com
manders are concerned, comprise some
OF the oldest Indian fighters in this Sec
tion of the country.
General Brooke and his battalion
reached Pine Ridge agency early this
morning. Two troops of cavalry that
have been patrolling the north confines
of the reservation all summer will Join
the command tomorrow. The Pine
Ridge Indians are greatly excited, and
continue dancing. General Brooke is
informed that bands OF Indians are en-
route from Rosebud agency to join those
at Pine Ridge.

PARNELL AT THE HELM.
HE WILL CONTINUE TO STEER THE
HOME RULE CRAFT.
People Stand by Him He Will Not De-
sert His Post.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-Parnell has sent to
several Of his colleagues a communica-
ton to the effect that as long as he is
supported by his colleagues and the
Irish people, he will remain at the helm
in politics. He says he mas never
sought either Office or reward of any
kind from any English party, and he
does not seek their assistance now. The
Irish people, not English politicians,
must decide the question Of the leader
ship of the Nationalist party. At the
present critical juncture he would be
false to his duty to Ireland If he should
desert his position because OF private
matters, with which politics has no con-
cern. When his missionis accomplished,
and justice has been won for Ireland
after her long struggle against over
whelming odds, the people may choose
whom they will to conduct their local
affairs.
DUBLIN, Nov. 20.-The statement is
made in Nationalist circles here that
Parnell will resign his seatin parliament
at the end of the session and offer him
self for reelection.
AT great National meeting today the
lord mayor made the opening address.
He said the only crime Ireland would
take notice of, was one Parnell was in
capable of committing, namely treason
to his command.
Justin Mccarthy, in moving vote of
confidence in Parnell, said he did not
ignore the serious nature Of the question,
but was sure it would not cost them a
single friend.
Timothy Healy in seconding Nc
Carthy's motion, said for Irishmen, Par
nell was less a man than an institution.
McCarthy's resolution carried amid
great enthusiasm.
LONDON, Nov. 90 Gladstone tele-
graphs that it is not true that he has
conveyed an intimation to Parnell as to
the course he should pursue.

The Concord's Trial Trip.

New York, Nov. 20.-The cruiser Con-
cord on her trial trip made eighteen
knots per hour, against strong tidal
current. She proved to be the fastest
gun boat yet built for the navy, but
despite her splendid speed, the Concord
failed to develop the requisite 34OO- horse
power. The failure is due directly to
trouble in the second hour OF the test,
with the after feed pump, and the leak
ing of the after boiler. Before the trial
ended there were from two to three
inches of water on the floor of the fire
room. A rupture had occurred in the
nipple of the side pipe leading to the
after air pump. 1t is notable that not
withstanding this trouble, she developed
nearly 320O-horse power. The test will
probably not be accepted as official.

France, and played an important part
in the recent arrests of nihlists in Paris.
A newspaper recalls the fact that a
servant of Seliverskoff, named Muller,
was assassinated in Paris in 1868; that
the murderer was never found. Since
then the general had received num-
Der of letters threatening him with
death.
Eclair says the Nihilists' committee
decided that if Sophia Gunsberg, ar
rested at st. Petersburg for having
bombs, was sentenced to death, Seliver-
skof should be killed. The woman was
sentenced to be hanged Monday. The
shooting of the general was ordered the
day after.
A person resembling Padlesky crossed
the Belgian frontier Tuesday night.

Immense Forest Fires.

SANTA Cruz, Nov. 20.-Two immense
forest fires are raging in the woods north
of this city, one at Cave gulch four miles
off, and the other near Bonny Doom, a

England's Big Guns.

The great game of gunnery brag is
over and the authorities have thrown I'M
the sponge. The Victoria's guns are so
defective that even the British admiralty
dare not send out the ship to carry the
dag OF the commander-in-chief on the
Mediterranean station. One of the 10
ten guns is bent between the trunnions
and the muZzle more than two and a
half inches out Of the straight line, and
the worst part of the business is that the
Victoria and her sister ship, the Sanspa-
rell, will probably be hors de combat for
very long time, as there is no prospect
of these monster ITO ton guns being of
any use, and it will be big job to alter
the turrets to suit smaller and more SER
viceable weapons.
The Camperdown, which has been Sc
lected to take the place of the Victoria.
was supplied forrthe maneuvers with
three cut of four guns which were de-
fectlve. The inner tubes split during
the test, but the authorities decided to
admit 1t. At the conclusion of the ma,
nelvers these three guns were ordered
to be returned to Woolwich, and Admiral
Rodney was requisitioned for three
others to make the Camperdown fit for
sea- We now have of first class battle
