THE SIGNAL FLASHED
Indians in the Bad Lands Ordered On
the War Path.
RAILWAY PRESIDENTS IN SESSION.
Call Issued for Convention of the
National Union Party.
A CHAMPIONSHIP BOAT RACE.
THE SIGNAL GIVEN,

Indians Ordered to Go ON the warpath
Against the Whites.
OMAHA, NEB., Dec. 15.-The Bee special from
Pine Ridge Agency, s. D., via Nashville, says,
about o'clock Saturday night u great light
suddenly blazed up in the northwest an the di-
rection Of the Bad Lands. The light faded
to sullen glow and then rapidly spread
along the sky for distance of couple
OF miles. Men posted in Indian signals
IN the camp say that this meant that Indians in
the Bad Lands had determined to fight. 1t is
thought that the conflict between the Indians
and cowboys on Battle creek, in which three of
the former were killed, has infamed the In
dians.
The Indians in the camp of the friendlies on
being asked what the signal meant declined at
hrst 10 talk. but being pressed finally said it
meant that their brothers in the Bad
Lands would be on the warpath within
one sun. and that all Indians who
did not join them would be dogs and
enemies forever. The friendlies how
ever disclaimed any intention of obeying the
signal The guards here will be doubled.
nevertheless, and the friendly camp kept IN
der the closest surveillance. II is the general
opinion here that u tight with the hostiIes is
now inevitable.
THE FIGHT AT FRENCH CREEK.
CHICAGO, Dec. ia dispatch received at
army headquarters yesterday from Battle
treeh. D u, stated tDat q letter nad Just Deen
received by courier from Capt. Wells, 1T the
mouth of French creek, stating that fgh.
had occurred there December ~ between
twenty citizens and a roaming band of Sioux.
Five Indians were reported killed, but the loss
of the whites was rot given.
dispatch from Gen. Brooke said that re-
ports received by hin, on The night of the 18th
showed decidedly hostile intent on the part
of the Indians III the Bad Lads. Tie feared
that .he collision between some citizens and the
Indians had turned the scale.
Information from Fort Bennett goes to show
that Indians at Cherry Creek sGercy are greatly
excited. and that under the leadership OF Big
Foot they are keeping up the ghost dance. The
Indians excitement Is increased By the report
that bands of Sioux from Rosebud and Pins
Ridge are moving in the direction OF Cherry
Greek.
Gel. Corbin said last night that it was rot
known whether or not the tight referred to by
Gen. Brooke WIS the one that occurred nc
French creek. If not" continued the colonel,
there have been two rows. and OF the ore re-
ferred to by Gen. Brooke We know nothing as
yet 1t is to be feared now that
blood has been shed that there will be
more trouble, for il an Indian knows
that some of his tribe have been hurt he will
forego his peaceful intentions. Two Strike was
on hi. way into Pine Ridge. and it is TO be
hoped that he won't turn back when he hears
OF the French Greek affair. In all proba-
bility Kicking Bear and Short Bull are the
insugators of such trouble has occurred

Going to Springfield the other day there
was seated in the car one of Holyoke's legal
lights, accompanied by his wife and six-year-
old son and heir, whose sole ambition in life at
present is to learn to whistle. The window
was open, and the boy had been holding to his
hat with both hands for fear it would blow
away. The conductor coming in slammed the
door and for an instant the boy let 60 his hat.
His father reached round through the window
and whisked it off his head. The boy was dis

THE HEBREW PERSECUTION.
Tales Told by Those Who Have Escaped to
England.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The question of immigra-
.tion is exciting lively interest in England.
whittier large numbers of Hebrews are flocking
from Russia. by way of Germany. The British
government has instructed its consul, on the
continent to discourage such immigl alton and
to warn intending passengers not to rely upon
assurances OF finding employment in Great Brit
ain. The Home for Destitute Hebrewsi is thronged
and many Of the nnfoltunatcs are assisted to
PASS on to America. Euglish woTkingmcn are
determined that the four 70 five million Rus
sian Hebrews shall not be unlOaded on these
shores and leading Hebrews are enteavoring
to placate the complainants by the statement
that the refugees will be forwarded rs they ar
rive to New York and other American ports
The situation Of the Hebrews in Russi ia is be-
coming so horrible that they would probably
all leave if permitted. In the words of one of
them their only choice is between baptism and
suicide. Vast numbers are choosing baptism,
oshers risk death in escaping across the from
tier. and how many select suicide the world
outside OF Russia will never know.
Ii is not thought that the great
meeting in the Gmld Hall Wednesday will
produce much influence upon the car. who
has since answered it by decree increasing the
severity of the anti-Semitic laws, and who is
believed to be personally determined to break
the race down in Russia. Chief Rabbi Adler
has stated that il is the greatest trial OF the
Hebrews since Esther, as the number of vic
Tins places this far above the cruel persecu-
tons under Ferdinand and Isabella and other
potentates Of a former age.

PARIS, Dec. 15.-Quite a number of persons
are coming forward and telling Of their con-
nection with Padelwsky. the supposed murderer
OF General Seliverskoff, who was found shot in
the head in his room in the Hotel de Babe.
The statement made yesterday by M. Gre
goire, journalist, that he kept
I'adelwsky concealed in his house from
November IS to December was corroborated
today by Madame Duquery, who, in an inter
view, said that Padelwsky came to her house
Immediately after the murder and asked her
to shelter him. On the same day NJ. Gregoire
and his wife dined with Madame Du-
query: NJ. Duquery was not at home at
the time and Madame Duquery was greatly
concerned regarding Padelwsky's presence in
the house. NJ. Gregoiro and his wife were in
formed as to the state of affairs and afteD talk
ing the matter over it was arranged
that Padelwsky should stay at NJ. Gregoire's
house on Rue Jur. To avoid recog-
milton a.. much as possible Padelwsky was given
suit OF Al. Duquery's clothing and he then
went to the Gregoire residence, where he re-
manned in concealment until the date men,
toned. His own clothing was burned at the
Duquery House.

PAY OF DISTRICT EMPLOYEES.
| First Auditor Fisher FavOrs the APPOINT
ment of n District Disbursing Omcer.

First Auditor Fisher FavOrs the Appoint
ment of a District Disbursing Omcer.
. FIRST Auditor George P. Fisher of the Treas
ury Department today submitted to the Com
missioners q copy of letter recently sent
by him to Chairman Grout of the House Dis
trict Committee in reference to the inser-
ton of a clause in the pending District
appropriation bill authorizing the appointment
OF a disbursing officer, whose duty it shall be
to pay the labOrers and other employees Of the
District Of Columbia in cash. Mr.. Fisher
says that as his Office was principally
the cause of preventing the payment Of
laborers in cash under the order OF the Com
missiOners, dated July %, 1889, because it
deemed the manner in which such payments
were to be made az not warranted by law.
He suggested that the Commission
ers should secure through Congress
the appointment Of disbursiug
officer properly bonded to the District Govern
ment for this purpose. and as this clause now
meets his approval he says he takes the liberty
Of adding his recommendation to that
of Commissioner Douglass and Auditor Petty
for its adoption. He suggested that after
the word approval at the end of the first para
graph and before the figures 81 500 that the
words land transmitted by them to the &C.
counting officers for settlement" be inserted.
He saws that this manner of providing for a
disbursing officer Ia both wise and Just,
and while it apparently retains all the security
that is now attached to the disbursement of the
money, it relieves the Commissioners of much
ar,iuous labor in signing individual drafts. and
makes it possible to pay laborers in the locality
where the service was rendered.

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
The Singular Case of Man Who Felt In
naturally Sleepy.

The Singular Case Of Man Who Felt Tn.
naturally Sleepy.
From the St. Paul Globe
remarkable of suspended animation
occurred recently. Andrew Oleson is an iron
handler, employed until recently by the ST.
Paul Foundry Company. Some months ago
he complained Of an uncomfortable desire to
sleep at all times and he was frequently seen at
his work in n half-awake condition. This pecu-
liar affection grew on him until he was COM
PEELED to throw up his position and submit to
medical treatment. He returned with his wife
and one child to Eau Claire. Wis, where his
parents reside, and there placed himself in the
care Oft physician who had brought him
safely through the ills of childhood. Oleson
seemed to derive some benefit from the treat
ment he received, and on November l. consil-
ering himself cured, he returned to st. Paul
and was employed during the past week in the
performance Of numerous odd jobs about the
residences of Summit avenue people.
Wednesday night he returned home and COM
planned OF n return of the old symptoms. Mrs.
Oleson prepared warm meal for him. of which
he ate sparingly and retired to bed. When Mrs.
OlesOn endeavOred to wake her husband yester-
day morning she was Mortified to find him
rigid, cold and apparently dead. DIR. Bole was
called and he declared after brief examine
ton that the man was alive. Various methods
were resorted to in the effort to effect resusci-
tation. but the body remained rigid. At 6
o'clock in the evening an electric current was
applied at the soles Of the feet and the effect
was immediate. The mans limbs began to
twitcb nervously and in about thirty seconds
he drew both feet up with jerk, opened
his eyes and damned the doctor in choice
Norwegian.
Oleson seemed in no hurry to 60 to Aeep
again when seen last night. His wife states
that this is the first time he has been affected in
the manner described. The physicians to
whose notice the case has been brought regard
it as a most peculiar one. It is, they are
agreed, one Of epilepsy, Of which disease there
are 80 many varieties that it is impossible to
tell in exactly what form it will appear. In OLE
sons case there is no violent seizure, the only
preliminary symptom being. as stated, an ire
sistible desire to sleep.
