Los Angeles herald., 1890-11-20

Indians at Rosebud have risen en- masse
and are proceeding to Pine Ridge, the
adjoining agency, which is about fifty
miles distant. Ii it should prove to be
we'll founded, all the available troops
will be ordered to the scene of the
trouble mediately. So far as known,
the troops OF the department. of Dakota
have not yet been called for.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 19.-Transpor-
tation for the Fort Russell
troops was received here this
afternoon seven companies, under
command of Colonel B. H. Off1ey, are in
readiness to move, and expect to leave
today for Pine Ridge agency, S. D. No
trouble is expected from the Shoshones
and Arapahoes, and Indians in Wyom-
ing.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-General Scho-
field received dispatch from General
Miles, today, stating that troops had
been sent to Pine Ridge and Rosebud
agencies, upon representations that the
Indians at those places had gotten be-
yond the control of the agents and In
dian police.
General Schofeld sent reply, approv-
ing General Miles's course, and adding
that the cavalry and artillery at Fort
Riley and all other available troops will
be placed under his orders, if the emer-
gency seems to require it.

He Admits That There Is Cause for APP
prehensiOn.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-General Miles was
seen by an Associated Press reporter
this evening, and asked for the latest
information about the Indian troubles
"The same turbulent spirit among the
Indians is manifested at the Rosebud
Pine Ridge and Cheyenne agencies, as
yesterday" said he. "There is more
threatening state of affairs at the Pine
Ridge agency than elsewhere, and my
latest official reports are that troops
have gone to Pine Ridge from Rosebud.
General Brooke, with three troops of
cavalry and five companies OF infantry,
will reach Pine Ridge tomorrow
Lieutenant-Colonel Smith will reach
Rosebud with three companies
of cavalry and three OF infantry. In my
opinion these forces will be sufficient to
protect the lives and public property at
nit any overt acts before the arrival OF
the soldiers will have quieting effect.
II have information that night before
last, American Horse had narrow es-

He is prominent Sioux chief and a
friend to the United States government.
He always has been inclined to peace
and loyalty, and can attribute his at
tempted assassination to nothing but
the hostile and disaffected spirit Of the
turbulent Indians. He has been stren-
uously opposing their actions"
Referring to a dispatch saying that it
was rumored that an outbreak had
taken place at the Rosebud agency, the
general said he considered the story pre-
mature. Both Generals Ruger and
Brooke are acting with the greatest dis
cretion and care to prevent hostilities,
protect settlements and maintain gov
ernment control over the Indians.
"The danger is not over" said he,
"however much that result might be
desired The dsaffected Indians are
scattered over several hundred miles OF
territory, and aggregate in round num-
bers six thousand warriors. The troops
scattered over this territory number
about six thousand, and not more than
fifteen hundred of thisnumberare effect

oranges will be the largest and finest
ever grown in the state. All the growers

POLITICAL vENGE EANCE.
A Russian Agent Mysteriously Murdere
in Paris.

IN Far1B.
PARIS, Nov. 19.-General Seliverskoff,
Russian agent in France, died today
from the effects of mysterious bullet
wound in the head. One report says q
stranger called upon him yesterday at
the Hotel Bade, and after he departed
Seliverskoff was found by his valet un-
conscious, shot in the head. Other re-
ports state that the general received no
visitors. No weapon was found. The
furniture was not disarranged. The po-
lice at first attached suspicion to his
valet.
The authorities are conducting an in
quiry into Seliverskof's death. The
police are convinced that his valet had
nothing to do with the shooting. The
assassin is believed to be Russian Pole
named Podelsky, servant, who has
absconded.
The further the authorities inquire into
the case the more the evidence tends
to prove that the murder was committed
by Nihilist, and that it was an act OF
political vengeance.
A man resembling the suspected muir
derer was arrested near the Spanish
frontier tonight. Another Russian has
been arrested here. The friends of the
murdered general do not think the
murder was due to Nihilists.

DUBLIN, Nov. 19.-United Ireland
says: "We do not desire to condone
ParnelPs grievous sin; but from Ire
land, which he has served so long and
faithfully with such devotion and mag
nificent success, he may at least look
for generous forbearance in the hour of
his trial. He yielded to temptation to
which many great and wise men have
succumbed since and before the days of
King David. He has atoned by what, to
man of his proud spirit, must have
been indeed bitter and humiliating, but
to the coercionist clamor for his dis
missal from the Irish leadership, Ire
lands answer is sharp and decisive
no! Irishmen have no mission to Judge
his private life. Leave that to his con-
science and to God, who weighs the
temptation with the offense."
The Limerick and Ennis board of
guardians have adopted a vote of conf
dence in Parnell.
At private meeting of the Irish

Associated Press Dispatches.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia special from
Rushville, Neb., says as soon as the
troops arrived there today, couriers
rushed with the news to Pine Ridge
agency. Word was received tonight
that the Indians under Red Cloud de-
clare that they will meet the troops in
battle tomorrow. Agent Roger and his
Indian police are powerless. One of
them. Thunder Bear, arrested bad In
dian last Saturday, but was overpowered
and the prisoner released. Several
other prisoners were released, and the
rebels threatened to burn the agency
buildings.
The Indians at Pine Ridge agency are
about equally divided among good and
bad. Red Cloud and Little Wonder
have been fermenting trouble for several
weeks, while American Horse and
Young -Man-Af -of-hi is-Horse tried to
pacify the warriors.
Last week a big meeting was held
thirty miles from Pine Ridge agency, at
which reputed apostle of the Messiah
was present. He told the Indians to
return to the agency and await the COM
ing of the Messiah, who is to arrive to-
morrow, in the form of a buffalo. He
will give the signal for the opening of
the conflict which is to annihiate the
white race. This fact causes great fear
in the minds of old Indian 6ghters; un-
less there is an absolute failure to get
word from the Messiah on the day of
the arrival of the troops,a conflict is GER
tain. Major Buffers column went
into camp tonight, prepared for what
now seems fatal combat. MANY of the
friendly Indians have left the agency,
and are now encamped at Rushville.
They have signified their intention of
aiding the whites.

BOYCOTTERS BEATEN.
A SACRAMENTO JUDGE DECIDES
AGAINST THEM.
An Injunction Granted the Sacramento
Bee to Restrain Its Striking Employees
: from Injuring It's Business.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 19.-In the case OF
James McClatchy & Co., proprietors OF
the Evening Bee, against G. w. Mckay
ct al, prominent members OF the Sacra-
mento Typographical union and the
Council OF Federated Trades, who were
conducting systematic boycott against
the paper, Judge Armstrong granted the
restraining order asked for, forbidding
the boycotters from doing any acts tend
ing to injure the business or property of
the paper. The order of the court is
made to include advertisements in news
papers and printed circulars. The de-
cision is OF great interest, as it goes to
establish the illegality of the boycott.
The boycott was brought against the
Bee to induce the management to accede
to the terms of the striking employees.
The immediate cause of the strike was
the discharge by the Bee on October
10th, of stereotyper who, it was
claimed, had broken his contract and
had badly used the machinery in his
charge. The Typographical union de-
manded his reinstatement, declaring he
was discharged simply because of his
unionism. that the charges against him
were false and that his place had been
filled by nOn-union man. The man.
ayers OF the paper refused to accede to
the unions demands, and claimed that
the new stereotyper was union man,
and that the charge of abuse of machin-
cry was founded on an experts report.
The court considered the subject from
the statutes and common laws stand
points. The political code says: Every
person is bound to abstain from injur-
ing the person or property of another,
or infringing on his rights.
The decision was in the following
words: ''The defendants are response
BILE for all the acts tending to injure
plaintiffs business, if done intention
ally. The acts of the defendants
are certainly unlawful and infringed
upon the rights of the plaintiffs. The
defendants claim the right to speak and
to print as they will, under the state
constitution, but the same section says
they are responsible for the abuse Of
that right. Defendants are insolvent
and cannot pay damages. If they can
not be restrained, plaintiffs are not guar
anteed the right of acquiring, possessing
and protecting property, guaranteed by
the constitution. If plaintiffs have no
redress there is no security for property
or rights. The injunction is granted as
prayed for"

TROOPS ON THE MARCH.
Gen. Brooke Hastens to the Scene of
the Trouble,

OMAHA. Nov. 19.-General Brooke,
commander of the department of the
Platte, has left for the scene OF the ex-
pected Indian trouble. General Brooke s
command will. it is expected, leave
Rushville tonight and the cavalry are
under orders to move from there not
later than II O'Clock tonight, with the
aim Of reaching Pine Ridge agency at
O'Clock Thursday morning. The inten-
tion of the command is to mass as many
troops as possible at the same moment
in the vicinity of the agency. Agent
Ryan at Pine Ridge, telegraphed the
general repeatedly, and when the order
was issued centering soldiers in the vi
cinity OF his station, begged that the in
formation might be withheld from the
newspapers. He feared it would reach
the savages as soon as it would
be settled, and before the troops could
prevent it the Indians would massacre
every white person found on the reser-
walton.
1t has later been announced that the
