tives of these companies. there were
present j. Pierpoint Morgan, Samuel
Spencer, John Crosby Browne, Howard
Potter and George G. Magoun.
The preliminary agreement, which
has already been published, was pre-
sented by Jay Gould, and read. After
some discussion, Morgan said that after
long consideration simple but compre-
hensive pl9n had been agreed to by
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania
lines for their mutual and COM
petitive interests, and based upon this
plan he had prepared a scheme
which he proceeded to read. 1t pro-
vides for the formation of new associa-
tlon between the several companies
west OF Chicago and St. Louis, to be
under the management and direction of
an advisory board, to consist of the
president and one member of the board
OF directors of each company. 1t shall
have the power to make and maintain
rates between competitive points, and
decide all questions of common interest
between the members. 1t shall have
entire charge of all outside agencies for
securing traffic at competitive points. If
any officer or representative OF any COM
pany shall authorize or promise directly
or indirectly any variation from the es-
tablished tariff, he shall be discharged.
The rates and policy adopted by
the advisory board, shall continue in
force and be binding until altered by the
board, vote of at least four-ffths of
its members shall be required to make it's
action binding upon all. The board shall
appoint arbitrators, commissioners and
other representatives, and adopt by
laws to carry out the purposes OF the as
sociation. No company shall withdraw
from the association, except after ninety
days written notice, by resolution of the
board of directors, to every other
member OF the association, with the pro-
viso, however, that the association shall
continue at least six months from January
1st, next; this agreement to be laid by
each representative present before the
board OF directors of his company for
action.
After long discussion it was adopted,
all voting in the affirmative, except the
Chicago, Kansas City and St. Paul,
which wished more time. The Chicago
and Alton, Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis, and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas will also be invited to Join.

yells the hostiles charged upon the police,
firing as they came. A hand to hand
struggle ensued, during which Sitting
Bull who was not shackled, gave his
orders in a loud voice. For several
minutes the firing was heavy and
deadly. In the furious fusilade, Sitting
Bull fell out of his saddle pierced by a
bullet, but it is not known whether it
was fired by the charging party or the
police. The son OF Sitting Bull
was slain almost at the first vol
ley of the police. The hostiles fired
with deadly accuracy and slowly
dropped the police from the field. If
the cavalry had not come at this time,
it is proboble the force would have been
annihilated. The soldiers were quickly
thrown into action. A skirmish line
was thrown out, and then, kneeling and
firing as they advanced, the troops,
with machine guns playing over their
heads, poured whitening fire into the
savages. Sitting Bulls body, which
had been abandoned by the police, was
secured, as well as that of his son, and
taken to Standing Rock. After the fight
was over the followers of the dead chief
struck out for the Bad Lands.

THE REPORT CONFIRMED.
The First Account Of the Willy Old
IN Chiefs Death.

The First Account of the Willy Old
IN Chiefs Death.
Sr. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 15.-The report
received here late this afternoon that
Sitting Bull had been killed, is appar-
entity confirmed by advices received by
General Miles at military headquarters
in this city. He received two dispatches
this evening, the first from Pierre, S. D.,
stating that Sitting. Bull and son were
killed, but giving no further particulars.
The other dispatch was from Standing
Rock agency, S. D., and stated that the
Indian police started out this morning
to arrest Sitting Bull, having under
stood that he proposed starting for the
Bad LandsRt once. The police were fol-
lowed by troop of cavalry under Capt.
Fouchet, and infantry under Colonel
Drum. When the police reached Sit
ting Bulls camp, on Grand River,
about forty miles from Standing Rock,
they found arrangements being made
for his departure. The cavalry had not
yet reached the camp when the police
arrested Bull and started back with
him. His followers quickly rallied to
his rescue, and tried to retake him.
In the melee the willy old chief is said to
have been killed, and also five OF the
Indian police. One OF the police rode
back to the cavalry and infantry, telling
them to hurry up to the support of the
police, and then hurried on to the
agency with the news of the battle.
Nothing later than this has been re-
ceived, but the death of Sitting Bull,
and at least five of those who captured
him, seems undoubtedly true.

DILLON'S APPEAL.
He Counsels Moderation in Judgment Of
Parnell.

Parnell.
New YORK, Dec. 15.--John Dillon has
issued lengthy letter to the press as to
the more recent events in Ireland. He
says he has been from the first strongly
opposed to any personally offensive
attacks on Parnell, although it must be
admitted that the cruelty unjust charges
he has levelled against members of his
party, and the extraordinary violence OF
the methods by which he has sought to
suppress all expression of opinion hos
tile to himself, renders it very
difficult for his opponents to main
tain an attitude of moderation.
Dillon deprecates in strong terms some
of the language which has been used in
ireland, ION both sides, the past few days.
Referring again to the attacks on Glad
stone and Morley, he says he is con-
vinced there is not shadow of founda-
tion for the charges made against them
charges which would never have been
imagined, much less uttered, says he,
but for the O'Shea divorce case and the
Gladstone letter.
Dillon says his reliance for the salts
factory character of the home rule bill
always has been not on the pledges of
any English statesman, but on the hon
esty and independence of the Irish party,
and above all, on the unity OF the ma
tional feeling of the Irish race. He
still has hopes that the conference
between O'Brien and Parnell may result
in restoring unity, but in the meantime
Parnell has plunged Ireland into con-
hict which wrings the heart of every
Irishman with pain and humiliation.
He has done this for purely personal
end. Dillon feels bound to say that
since he commenced his Irish campaign,
Parnell has used language and done acts
revolving to every freeborn man. and if
he (Dillon) should meet, Parnell in Ire
land, he should tell him that, unless he
very much altered his course, he was
no fit leader for the nations aspiration
to be free.
Dillon, in closing, strongly appealed
to the people in Ireland, notwithstand-
ing the provocation, not to forget the re-
spect due Parnell for his past mighty
work. \

PARTICULARS OF THE FIGHT.
Indian Agent Mclaughlin Tells How
Sitting Bull Was Slain.

Indian Agent Mclaughlin Tells How
Sitting Bull Was Slain.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Indian Com
missioner Morgan this evening received
from Indian Agent Mclaughlin the fol-
lowing dispatch, dated Fort Yates, N.
D., December 18th:
''Thirty Indian police arrested Sitting
Bull at his camp, forty miles northwest
of the agency, this morning at daybreak
His followers attempted to rescue him.
and fighting commenced. Four policemen
were killed and three wounded. Eight
Indians were killed, including Sitting
Bull and his son, Grow Foot. and several
others were wounded. The police were
surrounded for some time, but main
tanned their ground until relieved by
United States troops, who now have
possession of Sitting Bulls camp with
all the women, children and property.
Sitting Bulls followers, probably one
hundred men, deserted their families
and fled west up the Grand river. The
police behaved nobly and great credit is
due them. Particulars by mail"
THE PRESIDENT INFORMED.
Commissioner Morgan showed this
telegram to the president late this even
ing. The president said he had regarded
Sitting Bull as the great disturbing ele-
ment in the tribe, and now that he was
out of the way, he hoped a settlement of
the difficulties could be reached with
out further bloodshed.
sCHoFIELD AND PROCTOR NOTIFIED.
An Associated Press reporter commu-
nicated to General Schofield and Secre-
tary of War Proctor the first information
they had about the battle in which Sit
ting Bull was killed. General Schofeld
was disinclined to discuss the matter.
He INDUCED the hope expressed by 9TH
ers. that it would hasten the settlement
of the trouble. He thought it would
make more definite line between
friendly and hostile Indians.
Secretary Proctor said he did not
think the killing will have any bad
effect on the friendly Indians. They
had not been kindly disposed toward
Sitting Bull, and had no love for him.

Republican Senatorial Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The Republi-
can senatorial caucus tonight discussed
the report of the caucus commit
tee agreed upon today. The two per
cent. bond project found few friends
and was knocked out. The 100000
ounces bullion purchase seemed to have
great strength, but neither on that nor
other propositions was final action
taken. There was d great deal
OF discussion, which may be summarized
as indicative of the willingness of a
strong majority of Republican sena-
tors to considerably enlarge the
monthly purchases. OF silver bullion,
possibly to the extent of $6,000,O0 or
$7,OOO,0OO. Another caucus will be held
soon. The elections bill was not men
toned tonight.

His Celebrated Chorus of Dancers
Closely Pursued by Troops.
ST. PAUL. Dec. ia dispatch to the
Pioneer-Press from Dickinson, N. D.,
about today's fight, says: 1t is esti-
mated that there were 100 warriors in
the band which fled after the killing of
sitting Bull. Several troops of cavalry
are after them in different directions.
and it is expected that they will be
headed off. A general outbreak on the
Sioux reservation is not feared, and the
dissatisfied bands which are now giving
trouble, will soon be placed where they
will cease to be cause of alarm for the
settlers. The Sioux reservation is sur
rounded by troops. thoroughly equipped
for winter campaigning. 1t is expected
that before another sun has set, Sitting
Bulls celebrated chorus of dancers will
be good Indians or prisoners.

 In the army men, varied greatly regard ing theil infirmities. Some were always complaining, always on the sick-list, and yet upon examination but little in the way of ailment could be found.
 Others were non committal and went on duty as long as they were able to stand on their feet and stayed away from the hospit- al and care of the surgeon as long as pos sible.
 A few were n1dIinQerers, and sought to 'pldy-oF sick" as it was phrased in the army. But this class were nearly always detected by the surgeons and very often by their officers. They were held in contempt by all, as a class.
 Sometimes the surgeons erred on the other side, however, and put men on duty who were really ailing, this mistake was unfortunate, but is not always avoidable when some are constantly trying to shirk duty by assuming indisposition. The list of drugs used in the army was not very

MILLION DOLLAR FAILURE.

An old New York Firm of Hattcrs
 Forced Under.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The old established firm of Roberts, Cushman & Co.,, matters, of No. 177 Greene street, shave made an assignment. The concern has always borne an excellent reputation, and the wealth of the individual members of the firm caused it's credit to be practically unlimited.
 The firm was established nearly 40 years ago. The company did business of many millions of dollars a year, and it had the highest rating at the mercan- tile agencies, having been given credit for over $1,O00,O ,O0O.
 An approximate amount of the firms liabilities could not be obtained, but it was confidently asserted that the total indebtedness would not reach $1, 1000, ,OOO. It is said that the firm expected to pay dollar for dollar and that the business would not be discontinued.
 If necessary the individual members will surrender their personal property and real estate, which will be ample to cover everything unless a general and widespread panic ensues.
 The assignment was made to MT. Charles Stone, of Washington County, N. Y. A member of the firm said that the amount owing to the city would not reach very high figure.
