seems that Carr's command is to con-
Stitute the east and north sides of the
square. From the expression upon the
faces of the officers and men as they
pulled out through the snow and bitter
cold it was evident that they did not
relish zen. Miles orders. Three COM
panies of the First infantry from San
Francisco have already arrived. and six
more are expected to-day to replace the
Second. A scout came in yester-
day and reported that the main BODY
of the hostileS had moved back twelve
miles from the agency and toward the
Bad Lands Oh the north. Another
arrived last evening and reported the
Indians indulging III wild war dance
only eight miles from here. A party of
Indian scouts visiting the scene of Mon
days battle found nine Indians, who
were wounded in the fight, still alive.
Two of them had been taken to a log
hut near by and were being cared for
by sqnaw that had remained behind.
The other seven, all OF whom were
found lying in gullies remote from the
battlefield, having survived the blizzard
without any attention of any kind. Two
were bucks and the other five were
SquawS. There was scarcely enough
life left in any of the seven to pay the
scouts for bringing them in, but they did
so, and they are now with the others in
the Episcopal church. In addition to
the nine adults found, two tiny Indian
babies, neither of them over three
months old, were found alive, each be-
side the dead body of its mother. They
were we'll wrapped up. but how they
ever survived the fearful weather of the
last forty-eight hours seems a miracle.
The little innocents were brought to the
agency and found friends in the wives
of some of the Indian scouts. OF thirty
five wounded Indians brought in after
the battle, nearly all of whom were
sauaws and children, not one has rs yet
died, though: many of them are badly
-mangled with bullets. The rear guard
of the party of charitv-doiDg scouts that
went out on their search for wounded
Indians were forced to exchange several
shots with some of the rowing hoStileS.
After the late battle the Indian scouts
went over the field and picked up all
the disabled hostiles they could find be-
fore the troops were compelled to hurry
in here and protect the agency.
From the uprising that occurred, as
previously described. the Indian scout
that fell at Wounded Knee was given
military burial yesterday by his COM
rades under the command of Lieut. Tay-
lor, Rev. Mr.. Cook presiding. The

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-CharleS e. Mullen
and Harry Featherstone, the South Chi

fession to Inspector Hunt.
"Featherstone." said Inspector Hunt,
detailing the planning and execution
OF the South Chicago job and gave
Mullen the responsibility of suggesting
it. His story tallies perfectly with Ben
nett's and Corbett's.
''FeatherstOne also admits being con-

spector Hunt, ..that he conceived the
plan Of the robbery and impaired his
scheme to FeatherStone and a man
named Hickey. They spent Christmas
night at Mulien's house and made ar
engagements to rob the bank on Satur-
day. Just on the eve of the robbery
Hickey weakened and refused to go
ahead with the job. Mullen and FeaIh-
erstone were very angry at this action of
Hickey'S, but did not abandon the idea.

drove back to Mullen's house aud COM

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Some quiet
consultation has benin progress among
the Republican senators now in the city
with reference to the next weeks pro-
ceedings. The speeches made by sena-
tors Teller and Wolcott last Tuesday
have made some impression, but, as
they were expected, their effect was not
so marked as that resulting from the
few remarks made by Senator Hale. In
his complaint that trial had not been
made of the old-fashioned methods to
secure action upon the elections bill, he
undoubtedly voiced the feelings of some
other conservative Republican senators
who feel that it would be unwise to
change the rules and adopt closure UNI
til the usual routine methods had proven
to be ineffective. Ghe talk this morn
ing among the senators revealed dis
position TO allow this conservative ele-
ment to satisfy itself by an actual trial
of the futility OF the old system Of
campaign, which resolves itself into
matter of physical endurance. This
would involve the holding OF night SEES
SonS of the senate, in addition to the
usual daylight sessions; Just how many
no one can tell, but as many as may be
necessary to convince the senators who
are still reluctant to admit the neceS-
sty for a closure rule. Inasmuch as
there is a general desire among the Re
publican senators to confer upon the
subject in caucus, there was no disposi-
ton evidenced TO arrange programme
upon this basis to-day. but the general
tone of the discussion may be signifi-
cant as fOreShadOWing one result of the
caucus. OF course there is no comfort
for the silver men in such project
indicated above, for it will
merely prolong the fight and
thereby render still more unlikely
any silver legislation. Thus far five
Republicans have agreed to vote against
the elections bill on a direct vote, and
there are two others who say they would
vote for motion to lay it aside and take
up finance. This is not enough. a
Republican senator who is earnestly OPP
posed to the elections bill said to a re-
porter to-day that in time it would pass
the senate, but it could by no POSSIBLE
ity be passed by the house in its
amended form. BY the time it got to
tie house. he said, it would be too late
for the attendance of quorum to be Sc
cured in that body, The bill, he said,
could never become law. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Aldrich has decided not
bring up his closure resolution Tuesday.

When Justice Brown takes his seat the
supreme court bench will once again be
full. By reason of various causes, the
court has been one short of its full
working strength-eXcept during one
brief period-for several years, in fact
since the long illness of the late Justice
Woods. A number of important cases
have accumulated since Justice Mii1er'S
death and are awaiting assign
ment for argument as soon as
the new associate justice takes his
seat. These cases involve 4 variety of
interesting and difficult legal problems
and Judge Brown will almost at the
start have an opportunity to show his
full capabilities. Among the cases
which the court advanced Oh the docket,
but announced that 1t would not assign
tor argument OH a particular date until
there was full bench, are three or four
suits brought by express, sleeping car
and telephone companies against the
state of Tennessee. The general ques-
ton at issue in them is the constitutions
ality OF state laws imposing license
taxes on the agents of these companies,
especially when nothing but an inter
state business is performed. An orig
inal package case from Kansas is also
awaiting action, and the court.
after once hearing counsel at
length in an important mining
suit from Colorado, has made an order
that it desires the case re-argued before
a full bench. and has advised counsel to
have plans and models of mining veins
and lodes to exhibit, in order that a
complete understanding of the con-
troyersy may be reached. This case,
which was originated by the Iron Silver
Mining company, is of great Importance
throughout the Western mining regions.
Another suit Oh the docket, awaiting as
sienment. is Of very general interest
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad COM
pany has refused to comply with an or
der of the interstate commerce commits
sion forbidding the making of special
rates to dramatic organizations, and it
is purposed by the pending suit to re-
view some OF the most important pro-
visions of the interstate commerce law.

teresting maritime suit involving juris
diction over the bays OF the common
wealth; and other states also con-

FATAL "CANDY PULL"
The Handy Pistol Robs Two Men
of Life.

NEWPORT, Ark, Jan. "A conflict
over the ownership of piece of land
led up to fatal shooting at Newark,
fourteen miles from here, last night, in
which two lives were lost and two more
JeapordiZed. The rival claimants were
w. L. Magness and G. E. Perdure, the
latter section foreman on the St.Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern railway, the
former saloonkeeper at Newark. A
negro named Cleveland rented the land
in controversy from Magness. Perdure,
week ago, moved his family on the
place and into the house occupied by
the negro. Last night the negro invited
his white friends to candy pulling.
This angered Perdure. Perdure ordered
the negro out of the house and the
negro ordered Perdure out. A few
words more and both men were dead in
about fifteen minutes. Henry Perdure
received three serious bullet wounds
and Magness two. These are considered
fatal. When Perdure was shot he was
taken helpless to his bed, where he
died, his last words being, 81 am still
