HosTILEs ROUNDED UP.
Many Surrender and Troops Chasing the
Stragglers.

RAPID CITY, S. D., December "a
Two hundred and forty-four of Sitting
Bulls followers have surrendered at
Fort Yates and Fort Bennett.
Col. Sumner has rounded up $50 Of
Big Foot's people on the Cheyenne
river. and will probably bring them into
Fort Mead. Col Merriam is following
up the stragglers from Humps camp,
who have broken through the Gordon,
and are supposed to have Joined the In
dians in the Band Lands. The majority
of the outlying troops are now concen-
tra,ing along the Cheyenne river, and
the order Is daily expected TO close In
on the renegades.
Indians last night set fire TO 4 ranch
belonging to man named Mccormick.
Troops were Immediately sent out, but
on arriving a. the ranch found nothing
but heap of smouldering ashes. The
Indians had taken everything Of value,
burned tons of hay and killed nine
beeyes. Mccormick and family had left
the ranch some days ago.
A courier has arrived with the follow
ing advices from Ceston, ;. D.: "The
situation here remains unchanged.
Things have better look since the dis
affected Indians from the North have
been captured and returned to Fort
Mead. Concerning the situation in the
Bad Lands, there have been no reports.
Two cowboys who reached the camp
Yesterday report having seen Two Strike
and Kicking Bear leave the cabin Of
Kicking Bears brother-n-law, who is Il
squaw man, living 10 miles from here,
and 90 towards the Bad Lands. Two
troops OF cavalry stated TO head them
of, but after pursuing them for 3 miles
the Indians disappeared into the Bad
Lands. The troops returned to camp
at midnight.
Another party OF troops left here yes
terday to capture band OF Indians
who had the night before attacked two
couriers and chased them some distance,
firing shots at them. They proceeded
about nine miles south of here, when
they saw party of Indians two miles in
advance Of them. They Immediately
gave chase, aud when the Indians saw
that the soldiers were gaining on them,
they abandoned the two squaws and one
papoose who were riding behind them
on the same ponies. These were made
prisoners and brought back to camp.
The Indians managed their escape.
The Governor Of the State has issued
a large number OF Springfield rifles 10
ranchers and cowboys for protection to
themselves and homes. 1t is reported
that some cowboys have lain near the
reservation line for Indians and when
they appear shoot ut them, thus causing
Il great deal OF ill-feeling and trouble
which is hard TO overcome. There is no
doubt that, although the Indians are
the principal aggressors, since the ar
rival of the troops, the cowboys and
ranchers have become very daring and
are now themselves moleSting Indians
instead of protecting their homes. The
Department Commander has given or
ders TO watch closely all settlers and
disarm and make prisoners Of any Of
them caught In the act Of invading the
Indian reservation.

PHILADELPHIA, December 2i.-The
members OF the theatrical profession in
this city aud New York are at present
agitating the formation of coalition
with the Knights of Labor for the pur-
pose Of forming union with the Peo-

OF the work of the Farmers Alliance
and the Knights, says: This condition
of affairs will readily open the way for
the Theatrical Federation, which. if
il but clasp hands with the tremendu-
Gus movement now coming into
active existence, will be in 4 posi-
tion, as we foretold In the first of
these articles, to hold control, not
alone Of State or city, but OF Congress
itself Should the Theatrical Fedora
tion, when it is fully formed and in
moving shape, become part OF the
great mass of federated labor, and
should it assist the trade unions by Civ
ing benefit performances for them when
they are in need Of funds, then this
stage calling will be so placed as to
command the political influence and
support the Peoples party at any and
all aims"

Encouraging Prospects NearsVaucluse and
News From other Wells.
Soscial Tske1rQgl 10 the REGISTER


ST. MARY'S, December 2i.-The Dun
can well adjoining the Stewart farm be-
low Vaucluse came in yesterday with a
good showing of oil, but not sufficient
gas to flow. The well will be pumped.
One OF the most remarkable, as well as
encouraging characteristics Of this well
is the thickness and coarseness of the
sand. There is reported % feet OF oil
sand with very open and coarse grain.
All the operators are much exercised
over the discovery.
The Gulch Oil Company's well, near
the river shore close to town, is down
|, 100 feet, with good showing for oil.
The Storey well, on the Stewart farm,
is flowing about twelve barrels per day.
The Acre and Half CompanyS Nos.
| and > are making about thirty barrels
per day.
The Bear Creek Refining Company, OF
PENNSYLVANIA are drilling well between
Belmont and Eureka near the railroad.
The well is expected in any hour with 4
good showing of oil and gas.
One of the great difficulties at present
around Belmont is the terrible condition
of the roads. Coal at times cannot be
brought to the boilers, and this shortage
of fuel frequently stops the pumping,
and many wells are compelled to pump.

CHICAGO, December 24.-Chairman

ment allowed by law, the motive for de-

whom notice was served are NoOnan, of
the First district, Caldwell, OF the Thir-
ty-ninth. Arnold, of the Fifteenth,
Dawson, of the Seventeenth, and Cop

charges Of bribing voters and promises

BISMARCK'S GAME.
The Conflict Between the IandtaS and
the Government.


the Government.
BERLIN. December 2i.-The RcichS
Anzeigcr, an official paper, declares
the inability of the government to ac-
cept the amendments of the commission
to which the governments communal
bill was referred.
This confirms the threat made by
Herr Herrfurth, Minister to the Inter
ior, that If the Landtag supported the
amendments it would be Immediately
dissolved.
The Hamburger Ndchrichtcn, in an ar
ticle inspired by Prince Bismarck, urges
the dissolution OF the Landtag as nee
essity. Itsays the accomplishment of the
dissolution will be "to play at Bismarck'
game" by resulting in the return OF a
National Liberal and Radical majority,
which will lead in the conflict between
the government and the Landtag.
Prince Bismarck also attacks the Of
fer of tariff concessions to Austria,
which, he says, would be tribute paid
for alliance" lIe thinks that the Land
tag ought to appeal to the country on
this question also.
