TIE PAaNELL MuDDLB
Still the Cause Of rEoubls--Farnell's
Future Action Yet UnknoWn.

LONDON, Nov. s6.-Today's events has
not relieved tension, but rather acccntuated
the complications Of the situation. Glad
stones letter produced strong impression
upon the Nationalists last evcning. and
from indications given at . hastily sum-
moned meeting there was reason to believe
today would bring about new Developments
which would lead to an amlcaole settlement
Of the trouble. Although the conferences
held today prove that great divergence Of
opinion exists, they show that PArnell 10
firmly resolved to adhere to his decision
and unless \ vote OF no confidence 10 paced
by his followers will not Abdicate the lead
crship.
Today, after q long and earnest discus
sion Of the situation, in which the most
candid and outspoken opinions were given.
Parnell positively gained victory. The
members. however, who advocated his re-
tention, deprecated the idea Of final deci-
sion until the opinion of the entire party
shall have been recorded. The meeting
adjourned after nearly three hours Of
speech making, to obtain the views Of
absent members Of the party.
A careful inquiry brings out the fact that
little doubt exists as to the upshot of the
matter. When the party resssemhlcs on
Monday. it 10 probable that PArncll will
again be urged to retire by section Of his
supporters. Already reaction In his
favor has set in, aud If vote was taken
1t 10 expected that large majority would
be found upon his side. The Welch MEM
oers of the party held q meeting and resoly-
ed that they were convinced that the price OF
retaing Psrnell in the leadership would
be the postponement Of the home rule be-
yond the span Of Gladstones public life
and that they were more determined than
ever TO rally to the support of Gladstone.

Tho way to Lake Tchad.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-An interesting ques.
ton about Lake Tchad has just been set
tied by British explorations southwest of
that famous salt sea. II has long been sup
posed on native information tina. the
Benue branch of the Niger. which is navi-
gable to the far interior. had permanent
connection with the Shari River, through
large swamp, which was said to be
navigable for small boats. The Shari
is the most important tributary of
Lake Tchad, and if the native reports were
correct it would probably be possible in
vessels of ligh. draught to reach this IA
nous lake on the border of the Sahara
from the sea. The British Investigations.
however, have dispelled this pleasant pros
pect. They say that no such immense
marsh az that described under the name of
the TuboIi Swamp exists, and that there is
no connection between the basins Of the
Benue aud the Shsri. 1t will therefore not
be possible for little steamers to leave the
Atlantic Ocean and find an uuimpeded way
to the salt waters of the lake.

the crimes committed on the Putumayo
river and in the Gaqas'a territory acts of
piracy, and will endesvor 70 organize
an expedition in Caucs to proceed to

requisite. In another despatch the Colom-

the man hunters travel in steam launches,

humanity, and which are 90 vile that they
would shock the savage dwellers in the
heart Of Africa.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Las: night General
Miles received the following from Govern
or Milletse. South Dakota. He Immediately
alter raid that Generals Ruger and Brooke
were making all preparations possible 10
protect lives and property
PIERRE, s. D., Nov. &c.
Scotty Phillips, who has one thousand
head Of cattle, has lived at Mouth Grande
Stone Butte Creek, with an Indian family
since 1879, ard Waldron, a cattle man
seven miles this side of Phillips, left their
places at 2 P. NJ. yesterday to bring me
Intelligence.
Phillips is reliable. He thinks there will
be an uprising very soon. and bases bis be-
lief as follows; Eight days ago five
lodges, containing twelve buck.. armed with
Winchesters and laden with ammunition,
csmped at his house, going from Rosebud
to a large camp formed on White River at
the mouth of Pass Creek. He talked with
them an hour. They were surly and defiant
in manner. One said he had seen the time
when he used 10 beat brains and drink
women's blood, and the time is comiag
when he will do it again. He said Phillips
was raising hoyses for the Indians. Phillips
knew these Indians we'll, Yellow Thigh be-
ing their leader. Whitfield, settler at the
mouth of Pass Creek, had his house broken
open by Indians and all his goods and horses
stolen about ten days ago. Phillips, in
these last few days, had twenty cattle
killed by Indians and Waldron seven that
they knew of. Three half breeds from
White River stopped at Phillips house
night before last. They said that
they expected to find the settlements
destroyed when they got gone. Threats
are made against half breeds and
all Indians who will not join the ghost
dance. Phillips says everybody who has
been among the Indians any length of time
cay there is going to be an uprising very
quick. Pass Creek dance has been running
Il month. Phillips and Waldron say it is
Short Bulls headquarters and they think it
is the point fixed for the concentration of
all bands. They think there are now 1000
lodges and 1900 armed warriors there. The
Indians claim that they will not give up
Short Bull. but will fight when
the soldiers try to arrest him.
They say as soon as'the fight begins hail
storm will kill the white soldiers. The In
dians say they have shirts that are bullet
proof. This talk is from Indian runners
passing the Phillips place between Stand
ing Rock and the camp on Pass creek. l
know Phillips well aud would take his
Judgement on the situation in preference
TO any body know.
If you deem this information of any i'm

City. have requested the Secretary of
War and again make application through
you for one thousand guns and ammuni-
ton to be shipped to me at Huron.

Atlantic Association May go to Pisces

New YORK, Nov. 2s The Atlantic As

likely. from present appearance, to break
up. The New Haven club is after an
American Association franchise but there
ia little hope of It's hsvipg the desired graf
fled. A Pennsylvanis League is talked
of and as Harrisburg and Lebanon are an
xious to organize such a league, there is
nothing left for the Atlantic Association.
Newark is quoted as saying that they wan.
no more bsse ball, but if New Jersey
league is organized team will represent
that city. No one worked harder for the
success of the Atlantic Association than
President Brodea and it is mainly through
his efforts that the collapse did not occur a;
