DESPERATE REDS
After Being Captured They Attack Their
CaptCrs.

Captcrs.
WorSDED KNEE CREEK. Neb., Dec. 20.
Bright and early were the troops up
this morning. Ats clock they were or
dered to be in readiness to move. Atthat
hour the cavalry and dismounted troops
were massed about the Indian viii
lage, the Hotchkiss guns overlooking
the camp not fifty Yards away Col.
Forsythe ordered all the Indians 10
come forward away from the tents.
They came and sat in a half circle until
counted. The dismounted troops were
then thrown around them, Company
X, Capt. Wallace, and Company Il,
Capt. Narnum. The order was then
given to twenty Indians to 20 and get
their guns. Upon returning ii was seen
that only two guIs were had. A
village, resulting in thirty eight guns
being found. AS this task was about
completed, the Indians, surrounded by
Companies X and &, began to move.
All of sudden they threw their hands
to the ground and began firing rapidly
at the troops not twenty feet away. The
troops were at great disadvantage,
fearing shooting their own comrades.
The Indian men, women and children
then ran to the south, the battery firing
rapidly as they ran. soon the mounted
troops were alter them, shooting them
down on every side. The engagement
lasted fully an hour and halt. To the
south many took refuge in a ravine,
from which it was difficult to dislodge
them. 1t is estimated that the soldiers
killed and wounded number about fifty.
Just now it is impossible to state the
exact number Of dead Indians. There
are many more than fifty, however,
killed outright. The soldiers are shoot
ing the Indians down wherever found,
no quarter being given to any one.
Capt. Wallace, X. troop, with cavalry,
was killed, and Lieut.. Darlington, OF
Arctic fame, was shot through the arm
at the elbow. The troops are still firing
from the camp and pursuing the enemy
in every direction.
To say that it was most daring feat,
120 Indians attacking 500 cavalry, eX-
presses the situation but family. 1t
could only have been insanity which
prompted such deed. 1t is doubted
if before night either buck or
squaw out OF all Big Foot's
band will be left to tell the tale OF this
days treachery. The members of the
Seventh Cavalry have once more shown
themselves to be heroes in deeds OF dar-
ing. Single handed conflicts were seen
ali over the field. The death of Capt.
Wallace causes much regret. The poor
fellow met his death by n blow on the
head from war club. Full particulars
cannot be given until sometime tomor-
row.

Irish Factions.
BouIoGNE, Dec. S0.-The conference
between larnell and O'Brien took place
here this afternoon. Mr.. Parncll landed
here from the Folkestone boat at 2;oo
arrived from Amiens. The meeting
z. NJ. Nessrs. O. Brien and Gill have also
was held at the Hotel Du Louvre.

and Clancy, all Of whom are members OF
the British House Of Commons; Mr..
Sculle. the de- ated candidate of the
parnellites at North Kilkenny, and Mr..
Byrne, editor Of the treeman's jour
nal.
Mr.. Parnell looked we'll in health
when he landed here, though his right
eye was still bandaged, the result OF the
stuff thrown in his face during the po-
litic;l campaign in North Kilkenny.
Shortly after landing Mr.. Parnell
went 10 the Hotel Du Louvre, where he
eventually met VIM. O'Brien. Messrs.
Paraell and o Brieh then retired to

gagged by telegraph, and the
two leaders remained in conference
for about half an hour. At the eXplra-
ton of that time Mr.. Parnell and Mr..
O'Bricn had luncheon together, seem
inc TO be on very good terms.
Naturally there is considerable spec
ulation as 10 what took place at the con
ference, but little or nothing is actually
known at present concerning the ar
rangement discussed. Ii is expect
ed. however, thai if the conference
is resumed this afternoon, statement
Of some description will be given 10 the
press representatives who are mustered
In force about the Hotel Du Louvre.

Senate.
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 2i.-1n the Senate
to-day Mr.. Edmunds asked unanimous
consent Tor the passage of a joint reso-
luton extending until July /, 1891, the
period during which the laws of Ne
braska shall be in force in the territory
of oklahoma. Mr.. Edmunds explained
that the act creating the territory placed
over it the laws OF Nebraska until the
close Of the first session of the territori
al Legislature. 1t had been presumed
that the Legislature would enact a code
of laws, but it had failed to do so, and
the term of its service would expire to-
day. If Congress failed to act now,
the territory would be in a
state Of chaos. The resolu ion
was laid over. Mr.. Morgan
called up his resolution directing
the committee on privileges and cleo
tons to amend section 81 of the cleo
tion bill. a message from the Presl-
dent was soon afterwards received and
read. returning without his approval
the bill appropriating SO 600 for a pub
lie building at Bar Harbor. Me-, on the
ground that the public needs at
that place did not justify such an eX-
penditure. 1t WAS referred to the COM
mittee on public building and grounds.
The Senate then ad ourDed till Saturday
afternoon, with tbs understanding that,
at that time. the vice-president shall
declare the Senate adjourned till Mon
day at noon.

noon and the vice president presented
communications from the governor OF
Idaho, transmitting credentials OF the
senators elect from that state-Messrs
George l.. Shoup and Wm. J. Neon
nell. Mr.. ShOup WAS present. and Mr
Hoar e, corted hlm to the clerk 3 desk,
where he took the oath of office. There
was long discussion over the fact that
the Idaho Legislature had elected
their senators because the term
OF one expired March 1 next and over
a report that it had illegally fixed the
terms OF the senators. The latter re-
port was said to be untrue. 1t was
finally decided to refer the credentials
of Messis. Shoup and Mcconnell to the
committee on privileges and elections.
The Senate then resumed the consider
alton OF the elections bin, and Mr..
Hoar yielded the floor to Mr.. Hiscock,
who addressed the Senate at length in
support OF the bill. He was followed
by Mr. Hoar Without concluding his
speech MIR. Hoar yielded for an execu-
tive session, and the Senate soon ad-
jourDed. The Senate confirmed the
nomination of Henry B. Brown, OF
Michigan, to be associate justice of the
supreme court.

DCBLIS, Dec. 29.-Athlone, Roscom-
mon and Westmeath are being excited
by , proclamation placarded in all
prominent places. 1t states that
true Irlshmen have resolved to
support their independence, and
shat the Kilkenny reverse is

Is threatened by calamity surprising
d thousand coercion acts-the lowering
of the flag Of independence on the
vague promises of British statesman.
Irish history teens with disasters
resulting from reliance placed upon
Englsh. promises: The proclamation,
continuing, asks the people to sustain
the Independent party in Parliament,
adding that with the people of Ireland
aod America united beyond it, it should
sustain the leader who made that
policy and led them To victory until
now. The issue between the indie
pendent party was as TO whether the
people should choose their own leader
and party or as to whether they should
Become merely a part of the English
Liberals and accept leader dictated by
the English leaders. That would not
be Home Rule We want real HomeR Rule

other patriots gave their noble lives.

HE DUG UP TROY.
Death of DIR. Schlfemann, the Great Arch
po1uyi>t.


biologist.
BERLIN, Dec. 27.-Dr. Schlieman, the
famous discoyerer ot ancient Troy, died
last night.
Heinrich Schliemann, the son of a
Lutheran pastor. was born in Mecklen-
burg in 1922. He amassed fortune in
business while still comparatively
young man, and in 1863 withdrew from
commercial pursuits and devoted HIM
self anew TO tavorlte study OF his
youth, the subject of Greek antiquities,
especially as bearing on the Homerlc
times. In 1868 he undertook q pro-
longed journey through Greece and
Asia Minor; and, in 1870, he began at
his own cost, OH the hill of Hissarlik,
those excavations, continued with some
interruptions for more than ten years,
whose results nave made his name
famous. His excavations at Mycena
have also been attended with much s;!c-
cess; but the Trojan explorations have
been of greater Importance, and have
been given to the world in three vol
umes, in German and English. Trojan
Antiquities appeared in 1873; Iios in
1880, and Troia: Results of Latest Re-
searches and Discoveries on the Site o.!
Historic Troy, in 1888. The final out
come of his labor, in which he
was assisted ultimately by other trained
observers and skilled architects, is that
on, around, and near the hill of Hissarlik
there are piled up the remains OF seven
successive towns or cities. Deepest be-
meath the rubbish are traces of small
town of date absolutely unknown. The
next above it exceeds the first greatly
in point of grandeur, yet seems also to
have been prehistoric.
The second city appears to have been
overthrOwn by some great catastrophe
about the twelfth century i. G., GER
tainly not later than the tenth century
b. c., and it is that which DR.. Schlie-
mann ultimately came to regard as
identical with the Troy of Priam and OF

GLASGOW STRIKE FAILS,
The Men Willing to Return to Work, but
Their SeryiceS EeieGfeI

Their Services Rejected.
GLASGOW, Dec. 27.-There is a slight
change for the better in connection
with the railroad strike. Even the
strikers admit that the railroad com.
panies are making improvements in the
train services. The North British
Railroad directors have declined
to allow the Motherwen engine
drivers to return to work in spite of the
fact that these men have rendered their
submission, and would be of great as
sistance in breaking up the remains OF
the strike, as coal, with the drivers as
sistance, could be brou ht in consIdera-
BILE quantities from Motherwen. The
freight traffic is still ia a state of almost
complete paralyZation, and the number
OF factories and mills which are closed
on account of the strike increases day
by day.
