WAR AFTERMATH.
New Discoveries of Victims Of
the Wounded Knee Fight.

New Discoveries of Victims of
the Wounded Knee Fight.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. 10.
"A meeting of the commanders of the
several army camps around the agency
with Gen. Brooke was held to-day, after
which the officers repaired again to
their respective commands. The meet
Ing was held to decide upon certain tao
tical movements, and at the same time
the situation was considered and
the condition of each command
discussed. The uneasiness of the
Indians is noticed to-day and this
morning had by this evening
to a certain extent died away. AS a
consequence of the excitement OF the
morning Gen. Miles ordered forage for
twenty days longer, The order was is
sued to Department Quartermaster
Humphrey and was Immediately COM
piled with. On Saturday last the latter
officer countermanded all orders for
supplies at the instance Of Gen.
Miles, who had come to the con-
cluSion that it was about time for the
troops to return home. He now pro-
poses to remain here until the Indians
have all recovered from the shock which
they say the killing of Few Tails gave
them. On Saturday last Quartermaster
Humphrey had seven days supplies on
hand. These, with the amount ordered
to-day, will tide the army over till about
Feb. l6. Lieut.. Getty, commander
of the Cheyenne scouts, lately
under command of the lamented Lieut..
Casey has been ordered to remain here
until after the close of hostllities. He
will then return to Fort Keogh, where
he will assume the duties of quarter
master of the Twenty-tirst infantry.
He has recommended both Capt. Lock
wood and Lieut.. Hodges to succeed him
as commander of the now famous scouts,
This afternoon one of the Indian police
at the agency discovered the bodies of
four dead Indians in a creek near
Wounded Knee. One of them was a
boy, two were girls and the fourth an
old squaw. They were victims of the
battle of the Goth. This evening F. d.
Lewis, special agent. arrived to take
the place of Special Agent Cooper, who
has gone to Wisconsin.

HIS FIRST OPINION.
Justice Brown Hands Down De-
cision Involving Polygamy.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. = Justice
Brown to-day rendered his first Opin-
ions as member of the United States
supreme court. He delivered two opin-
ions. Of which the more important was
in the case of George II. Cope VS.. Janet
Cope and Thomas II. Cope. brought
here on appeal from the decision of the
supreme court Of the territory of Utah.
The question involved in this suit is
whether or not son by polygamous
marriage has the right of inheritance
from his father, it being claimed
that he was an illegitlmate
child and therefore not entitled to a
share in the distribution of his fathers
estate. The court in its opinion holds
that the son by polygamous marriage
did have this right, and reverses the
judgment of the territorial court. The
court discusses the Edmunds and the
Edmunds-Tncker anti-polygamy acts,
and says the latter act declared legiti-
mate all children of Mormon parents
born within twelve months from its
passage. The object, the court says,
was to make these unfortunate children
an especial object of care, and to make
the parents relinquish polygamy by fix
ing period until after which their OIL
spring should be legitimate.

NO COIN IN SIGHT.
Montana's Legislators May Go
Without Pay.

Special to the Globe
HELENA. Mont, Jan. 19-Montana's
second legislature will serve without
pay, either per diem or mileage, unless
the supreme court says otherwise. State
Treasurer Hickman to-day decided not
to honor bills of senators and repre-
sentatives for mileage, and when they
ask for their per diem the same course
will be pursued. The refusal of the
treasurer is based on section 5 of article
ii of the constitution, which fixed the
compensation of the members of the
first legislature at So per day and mile
age at 20 cents per mile. 1t also pro-
vIded that pay of subsequent legisla-
lures should be fixed by law. No laws
were passed by the first legislature,
and no appropriation was made to
meet expenses of the present body.
The same section provides that no legis-
lature shall fix its own compensation.
Treasurer Hickman asked that some of
the senators or members make a test
case, but none OF them interested seem
inclined to do so, considering the law
against them. The only possibility Of
this legislature getting pay is for some
subsequent body to make an appropria-
ton for that purpose. There is nothing
whatever political in the treasurer's ac-
ton, as both sides are affected alike.
Nothing was done in the legislature to-
day.

the American people, and their verdict had
been one of condemnation of the rulings OF

BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. 19.-The Dem
ocrats held caucus tonight to review
the situation and gained one independ-
ent member, which gives them twenty
five solid votes for the first ballot to-
morrow. 1t was rumored that the
Pierce faction of the Republicans would
hold caucus tonight, but it was
thought best by the leaders not to do so,
as it would have tendency to antag-
onize those who happened not to at
tend. 1t is claimed by the Pierce men
that they have a sufficient number
of votes to secure the caucus
nomination, and it is believed tonight
that Pierce will be nominated on the
first formal ballot in open session. In

V1NToN, To-, Jan. 19.-In the case of
The State VS.. Hofft. Judge Kline to-day
held the Wilson bill constitutional and
the Iowa prohibitory law in force as to
imported liquors. Judge Kline says
the right of congress to permit

ages is clearly and repeatedly
recognized and stated in Leisey VS..
Harden. The Wilson bill is not retro
active. 1t does not undertake to make
criminal acts done beforeit enactment.
The laws must be construed in the light

liquor law was always in force as to
domestic liquor, but prior to the pas

original packages. The bill simply

A Complete Working Model Ar

CHICAGO. Jan. 19.-The model of the
much-talked-of Mount Carmel air ship
arrived at the Polk street depot last
evening. The ship is about thirty feet
long, the buoyancy chamber occupying
four-ffths of that length, and is six and

plated by the inventor, MI. Pennington,
the air ship itself being in contempla-
ton much larger, and with correspond
ingly greater carrying capacity. 1t is
not known just when the trial trip at
the exposition will take place, as it will

model together.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The house

Mississippi river has about agreed to re-
port to the house in modified form the

improvements between the head of the
