WAsHINGroN, D. C., January l4-Gen. SchoIeld this morning received the follow tng telegram from Gen. Miles at Pine Ridge, dated last night;
 Gen Brooke's command Is now camped five miles distant on White Clay Creek and the entire body of Indians are between two commands. Gen Brooke has com handed his force witA considerable six i'll and excellent Judgment. The greatest diff aculty now is to restore confidence. The Indians have great fear that their arms will be taken away aud then treated like those on Wounded Knee. They have 3 large number of wounded woulen and children, which creates a most depressing focliug among the families and desperate disposition among them. Military measures and movements have been successful The control and government row becomes the problem, yet no serious embarrassment is apprcheuded at present.

 Trouble Is Over.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, :. Dak., January 1.-The hostile Indians still remain in the camp they went into yesterday about two miles from the agency. They have made no attempt to come nearer with the excep- ton of those who desired to visit some of the friendlies, and who were compelled to take circuitous route around the agency to reach them. These were generally met about half d mile beyond the brcastworks by pickets by whom they were compelled to surrender their arms until after their return from their visit. The number of these visitors this morning was somewhat greater than it was yesterday.
 Young Man Afraid of His Horses came tn from the camp this morning to arrange for meeting of the hostile chiefs with Gen. Niles

Trade in the East.

The merchandise movement at Boston
has been fair, in wool slightly larger with
out much change in goods. and in boots and
shoes with better reports from agents,
yhile leather and hides are quiet. Trade
In lumber is very fair and prices firm. At
Philadelphia the coal and iron trades are
more active, apd the hardware trade outside
the city, iewelry and paints somewhat i'm
prove: the chemical trade is fair, and glass,
fiouors and tobacco are quiet. Worsted mills
are running full time at good prices, and
knit goods have a very satisfactory season,
butin wooden yarn and goods, trade is dull
and Improbable. AT Hartford it is noted
that goods DO not justify the higher prices
said to be asked for the increased clip
of wool AT Baltimore trade ia
only fair, but manufactures active,
and at Cleveland better weather
brings some improvement, with unusual
activity in manufactured iron. Cincinnati
also notes Improvement, and great activity
In building and materials, and Detroit finds
better trade with better country roads. At
Chicago wool receipts gain third over last
wear, and wheat receipts are larger, but
decrease appears in -four, corn, meats, lard
and hides Dry goods sales equal last year
for the same week, and sales of clothing
and shoes show increase. The grip retards
trade at Milwaukee, but further improve
ment is seen at St. Louis; trade is fair at
Kansas City and Omaha, and better at
Denver Cotton is quiet and lower at New
Orleans and sugar active and lower,
general trade being fair. At Savannah
trade slackened slightly and is rather dull
Jacksonville, but extensive investments

The four statesmen descended Capitol hill
together. They drifted down Pennsylvania
avenue, conversing on political topics.
They had halted on corner near the Ma
tional hotel preparatory to separating,
when cab was driven to the curb near by.
Its driver was in alteration with woman
inside the vehicle. Governor Curtin was
even then telling the Senators and Speaker
the story of his meeting with the old lady
in the capitol. The alteration attracted
his attention. The driver was using villain
Gus language. He insisted that his passen-
ger should leave the hack then and there, or
he would pull her out.
"Something told me.' said the governor,
that it was my old lady who was in
trouble"
He stepped to the door of the hack and
looked in The suspicion was confirmed.
She was the old woman whom he had sent
to the hotel, and she was in trouble. The
driver had not taken her to her destination.
He had stopped at two or three saloons and
spent his fee for liquor. Possibly he had
forgotten where the old lady was to go, but
at all events he had determined to drop her
on the street and let her shift for herself.
He was filing the air with profanity and
threatening the poor old woman with VIC
lence. The governor was indignant. He
asked the hackman whether he had not paid
him to take the old lady to a specified place
of shelter The driver swore that he had
never seen him before and threatened to
punch his head if he did not mind his own
business. The governors indignation was
getting the better of his judgment. Sher-

1T WAS A FRAUD.
There Is no Reason Why the Coming Season
Will See Any Improvement.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Is it reasonable to suppose that If
charge of 10 cents per foot front for sprink-
ling is made (Which is unius9 that good
service will be had? On Third West
street, do not see how the law of equity
will act or can be done the property
owners. There is less than twenty eight
feet for wagon road, land that is appor-
toned out on each side for travel" and this
much is in deplorable condition. We
have often asked to have these defects
remedied, but so far our petitions have
been in vain. The balance of the street is
covered with railroad tracks. twelve
to fifteen inches above the street, switches
poles, ETC., which is very nice, no doubt,
for sprinkled boulevard. Last year the
sprinkling wagon did not average three
trips day. This may have been caused
by the bad condition of the street, for it
seemed that the water gave out in the
so bad full tank could not be pulled, and
what sprlnkling was done was past the
width of the wagon mostly On one side of
the street. The suction caused by passing
trains was such that the sprinkler did not
offer any relief from dust to inhabitants.
Still they paid in advance for this accom-
mediation and felt to say: I'VE thank
thee, o Powers, for liberal government so
that we might see their liberality Ito
Omaha contradictory, but deliver us from
their liberal ways"
So MOTE IT BE.
