LIMERICK, January 11.-Fully 10000 per-

Mr.. Parnell made a long speech. Referring

statements regarding the interview at Ha-

EDUCATED INDIANS ARE BEHAVING.
The School Superintendent Says
They Have Suffered,
But Party of Girls Ran Away from
School.
Another Anxious Day Spent at Pine
Ridge.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE Indian
bureau has received a dispatch from Agent
Waugh at the Devils Lake Agency, stating
that there is no danger of trouble at Turtle
Mountain. A communication was also re-
ceived from Indian Agent Palmer at the
Cheyenne River Agency. he says the farm
ers have been engaged in watching the
camps in respect to their interests to see
that the peaceable Indians are not disturbed,
and to prevent the Indians passing from one
camp to another. This has been done to
prevent the hostile Indians from visiting in
the Cheyenne camps. The police have acted
under the instructions Of the farmers and
have rendered excellent service in all the
camps, especially in camps affected by the
ghost dance. These policemen have been on
duty continuously day and night, often rid.
ing 100 miles without resting, and perform
ing the journey in less than "a hours, carry
Ing messages from the agency to- Farmer
Narcelle at the hostile camps. and to the
troops camped on the Cheyenne rive. These
policemen have been loyal and trustworthy.
Especial attention has been called to what
has been accomplished by Farmer Narcelle,
who succeeded in bringing 458 Indians from
the Cheyenne river district and 26 of the
Standing Rock Indians to the agency head
quarters with less than 100 men, who could
not be persuaded to submit to the authority
aud protection of the Indian office, but pre-
ferred to dispute the authority of the War
Department. The Indians who came in
with Narcelle are now camped near the
agency. They are quiet and have expressed
regret for the trouble they have caused and
promised in the future that they will obey
all the rules of the Indian office.
The commissioner today received the fol-
lowing from Elaine Goodale, supervisor of
education at Pine Ridge:
Your telegram asking how many returned stu
dents aud parenIs of school children are among
the h0stiles is received. 1t is impossible to ascer-
tain at present just who the hostiles are. Some
nave fled from the agency from fear and do not
necessarily assume warlike attitude. In gen.
era way iG is safe to say that those who have par
tcipated In the ghost dances and subsequent dis
tuI banee are of the wild" "heathen'' element
among the Sioux. The great majority of Chris
tan and educated Indians remained loyal and
Stradfast at the sacrifice of name and property
and at The risk Of their lives. 1 think those who
have Identified themselves with us during the up
heaval and thereby lost all they possessed, should
be generously reimbursed for their losses at the
very least. Fifteen or 20 Christian youg men and
women Of Indi IN blood are now serving as volun
teer nurses in our improvished church hospital.
where we have 80 wounded prisoners from the
battle OF Wounded Knee.

the city as 1886 persons. while religious
services are held every Sunday In 81 differ

L-Poverty Is great bar to church going

are left for religious thought or spiritual de-

III.-The absorption of business keeps
many people from church. The den ands Of
business puts such demands on merchants

member has turned sharp corner on them,
