WILLIAM OF HOLLAND DEAD.
The INSANE King Finally Breathes His
Last---eluccn Emma Will Undoubtedly

The INSANE King Finally Breathes His
lie Regent.
The HAGUE. Nov. 24.-The king Of
Holland died ut 6 a. III. His illness took
a sudden turn for the worse in the e
ing, symptoms of ur@mia appearing.
Queen Emma was at once summoned,
and remained with her husband until
his death. The kings last hours were
peaceful, life ebbing quietly away. I'm
medistely upon the announcement of
the sad event the palaces and other pub
lie buildings We're closed, and at all
theaters notices were posted of the can
collation. of all ADJUSTMENTS. The min
listers We're summoned and held a cOun-
Gil at noon.
With William Ill dies the male repre-
s%entation of the great house of Orange.
He was the son of William l, but only
connected collaterally with the famous
William Ill of England. The late king
was born in 1917. He assembled the
throne in 1s49. His only issue is by his
second wife, Emma, being a daughter,
,Wilhelme, now 10 years of age. The
kings death sewers from Holland the
duchy of Luxembourg, which will
probably become attached, under tho
duke of Nassau, to the empire of Ger
many. An act of the Dutch parliament
passed some years ago provides for the
succession to the throne of Holland in
the event of the late kings family be-
coming extinct. Queen Emma is very
popular and will undoubtedly BIO con-
tinued as regent until her daughter at
tains her majority.

ness was commenced aud what has
been accomplished and realized in

settlers who came here with very
little means, if any, who can now show
a good property. 1t is no more than
what hundreds Of people possessed of
no greater worldly means than energy
and push can do by coming to this

The Old Warrior Will Join the Hostilcs
Further South If He Is Molcstcd.
MISNEAroLIs, Nov. GA Standing
Rock Agency, N. D., special to The
Tribune says: The two Indian scouts
sent out Saturday night by Col. Drum,
commanding Fort Yates, with instruc-
lions to scour the country between here
and Sitting Bulls camp and ascertain if
any Indians were on the warpath and
the state of affairs at Sitting Bulls
camp, have returned, and report having
seen nc Indians on the warpath. They
went to Bulls camp on the Grand river.
They being known to Bull as military
scouts, they were at once suspected as
spies and We're treated very harshly by
Bull and others. Bull asked them their
business out there. They said they We're
after two dcserters from the post, which
Of course Bull knew to be untrue. Bull
told them he understood there were
1900 soldiers coming to Fort Yates to
take him and his property, But" said
he, IL have runners coming and going
every day and know everything that is
going on there, and as soon as these SOL
diers come l will take my family and
ponies and those that will follow me
and leave, and they will not get me-"
Continuing, he said to the scouts: "You
see we have
Abandoned tho White Mems Houses
and are living in our native tepees, and
will not return to the houses nor to the
agency" The supposition is that if
Bull hears of any serious trouble at the
lower agency, OF if the military attempt
to take him, he will at nee break camp
on the Grand river and join the hostiles
at the lower agencies, thereby declaring
war against the government. Bulls
son-in-law was in Monday and when
questioned us to whether or not Bull
was coming in said that he was never
coming until the military overpowered
him. Hopes are yet entertained that
all will pass off quietly and that cold
weather will put a stop to the nonsense.
A bowling Dakota blizzard would be q
Godsend to the Dakotas about now.

PRESIDENTIAL ADVICE.

Harrison Will Urge the Passage of the
Force Bill and That the Tariff Bill Re-
main Untouched.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-At the cab
met meeting Tuesday the presidents
forthcoming message was discussed. It
is said that aside from the routine mat
ter generally the. president will urge
congress to stand firm on the tariff bill
and to pass tho force bill and also the
reapportionment bill.
Another point of the message will be
the presidents earnest recommendation
that no further steps be taken toward
the free coinage of silver, but will leave
other financial matters to Secretary
WINDOWS annual report, as he did last
year.
1t is said that the president and sew
eral members of his cabinet reason that
any backward step on the tariff would
throw their party into confusion, and
that the present congress could not af-
ford to undo any Of the work. even
with Democratic assistance, that it did
at the last session, while Blaine has been
generally holding aloof from cabinet
discussions of the policy of the admins
tration.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-All the dispatches
from the Northwest received at army
headquarters during the day were of so
reassuring q nature that Gen, Miles left
for home hours earlier than he has done
for a week past. just before his de-
parture the following dispatch was re-
ceived from Gen. Ruger at st. Paul:
Following of this date received from
commanding officer Fort Yates: Little

ports indicate Sitting Bull and followers

tell what a day or two might bring
forth. In his opinion the trouble would
never be ended until the Sioux Indians
We're put in q position where they could
do no more or mischief. 1t was time
that effective measures were taken to
put a stopto allnonsense among redskins,
and to prevent the possibility of their
making trouble every few years. Later
in the evening Adjutant General Will
Jams stated that q dispatch had been re-
ceived from Gen. Ruger to the effect
that his advices proved that an elaborate
report sent out regarding some 600 In
dams at Devils Lake and Turtle Noun
tain leaving the reservation and prepar-
ing for the warpath was false in every
particular. The Indians at these points
are loyalists.

DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY 1870.

House Will Stand Democrats :2a, Rcpub-
licans 90, Alliance II.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The unofficial
list of the members of the house in the
Fifty-second congress, which has been
compiled in the office of the clerk of the
house is nearly correct as any list will
be until all the certificates are received.
Even then it is not likely to be changed
as the list has been prepared with care,
and in nearly every instance from
official returns. 1t is interesting be-
cause, for the first time. it gives a really
definite idea Of the political complexion
of the next House. It shows that 222
Democrats have been elected on a
straight ticket, the number of Repbli-
cans being o.. 1t gives the Farmers Al
lance a representation of II, but IL of
this number come from the South and
will act with the Democratic party,
thus swelling the latter's aggregate vote
to 234. The Democratic majority over
the Republicans is therefore 100, or 142
counting the II alliance men as Demo-
Gratis.

oLEoMARGARINE LAW VOID.

Minnesota Law Declared Unconstitutional

ST. PAUL, Nov. 26.-The validity of
the state ol~eomargarine law came up
before Judge R. R. Nelson, of the
United States circuit court, on the hear
ing upon the writ of habeas corpus of

Bear last week for selling an original

Co.. of Chicago. shipped by them to st.
Paul and sold by MIR. Gooch, who was
their agent here, to certain wholesale
dealers.
Judge Nelson's decision held that Mr..
Gooch was arrested and held in custody
for doing an act which he was lawfully
entitled to do under the commercial
clause of the constitution of the United
States; and this state law so far as it
prohibited the sale of oleomargarine in

Hump and Big Foot Bands Capture

PIERRE, s. D., Nov. 25.-Parties re-
turning from the Cheyenne agency,
where the Indians were given their
monthly issue of r%ations, state that
everything appears to be quiet and that
about all the Indians receiving rations
there We're present and very orderly,
but with several companies of troops
also present. At the hostile camp on
Cherry creek, which is a s~ub-agency and
run by Hump and Big Foot, u report
stated that the Indians all assembled
Monday, and when the cattle were
driven out to be slaughtered and divided
the mounted Indians swooped down and
captured the entire herd and drove
them to their village one mile away
where the issue was made to suit them
selves. One white mar named Henry
Argell and a halfbreed were in charge,
but when they saw the ugly disposition
apparent they offered no resistance and
started for Cheyenne agency to report.
Capt. Hearst, commander of the troops
there. states that the hostiles have pro-
cured a large amount of firearms and
ammunition and are in fact better armed
than the troops.

to the people that our government is
able to take arc of its wards and pro.

this purpose troops lave been sent to

skirmislling near some of the Indian
agencies, but with the mounted cav.
airy carefully watching the Indians
and every point of danger, people
have no we'll founded cause for fear.
Ii the authorities believe that there
is any danger of m outbreak from the

TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 2I-An opinion
has been handed down in the state su.
preme court which will result in the re.
leasing of about fifty prisoners from the
penitentiary in this state. 1t was in the
case of Washington against J. G. Nc
earthly, charged with grand larceny.
The crime was committed Oct. 10, 1855,
and the state constitution went into eff
feet Nov. /. Mccarthy was tried by in
formation in the superior court at Ia
coma, as provided by the state law. The
case was appealed. The opinion holds
that it was illegal, as a state law cannot
be retroactive, and that he should have
been tried by a grand jury. as provided
by the territorial laws which were in
effect when the crime was committed.
As all the convictions under the state
law were for crimes committed before
tho constitution went into effect the
prisoners will all be released.

BUFFALO BILL ON THE WARPATh

The Famous Scout Appointed Scout by
Gen. Milcs--Of for the Front.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2B.-Buffalo Bills eyes
glowed with a fiery light Wednesday as
he thought of the immediate prospect
OF taking an active part in the cam
paign against the Indians of the North
west. His reputation as 4 scout during
former Indian troubles has led to his Sc
lection in a somewat similar capacity in
the present strained situation by Gen.
Miles. Just what his duties will be has
not been divulged, but he stated that
several of his friends should be allowed
to go with him to North Dakota. In
the secretary's instructions, no mention
was made concerning these friends, but
the desired permission was granted late
last night. Buffalo Bill packed up his
collection of rifles and left the city with
Frank Powell, known as White Beaver;
r. II. Haslan, known as Pony Bob, and
John Keith, of North Platte, Neb.
With these three companions Buffalo
Bill intends to strike terror into the
hearts OF his old Sioux enemies and the
war whoop of the famous scout will
drown the yells Of the Indian fanatics.
