THE INDIAN TROUBLES.

Pine Ridge Agency, s. D., Jany, Capt,
Taylor, chief of the scouts, to day received
letters from Short Bull aud Kicking Bear,
chiefs of the hostiles, stating that they would
surrender at the agency to morrow with all
their people, but these letters a amount to moth
ing in view Of past events, for the indians
change their minds about as fast as they
make them up. The desire Of the hostiles to
come in is doubtless prompted by the approach
of the troops from behind. The soldiers are
slowly closing in on the hostile Villagers. The
scouts report that troops are already close to
the hostiles and that skirmishing continues
at intervals during day and nightllRed Cloud,
who escaped from the h~ostiles, Wednesday.
SAYS there are one thousand warriors in the
hostile Camp and that they are as well armed
IS the soldiers. This shows the magnitude of
the job which lies before the soldiers. for it is
admitted whether the hostiles surrender or
not they will be disarmed and disrnounted.
It cost the 7th cavalry 83 officers and p~riyates
to disarm $50 Of Big Foot's band. 1t is adj
mitted by every one here that the hostlles on
the White Clay Creek will never give up their
rifles and ponies without a fight. The on
mission which has been investigating Col.
Forsyth's management of the troops Of.
Wounded Knee, has finished it's report. la

were oonsequently-not affected by the des
truction of the poles from which the, city,
draws it's supplies. The only relief to the
almost universal gloom along New York's
principal tho~roughfares was the occasional
twinkling of a siokly gas lamp, whose feeble
light cast q few shadows around. The re-
ports received at Police Headquarters during
the night from the different precincts
throughout the city did not indicate any
increase of crime on account of the order of
the Mayor. which left the city without the
usual illumination.
Acting Supt. Byrnes despatched three or
four men from Headquarters with ~instruc-
tons to visit every electric-lieht power com
pany in the city and notify each of them to
shut off all currents until further notice
Then the following general order was sent
to the captains of every precinct in the city
Instruct your men of the Importance of
extraordinary vigilance during tho night.
owing to the absence of electric lights on
many streets.
The storm had its rise in a rainfall which
began in the northern part Of Texas Saturday
morning. 1t developed fully upon reaching
Alabama, and then spread in n northeasterly
direction, following the coast line. By the
time it reached Washington the rain had
changed to snow. AT 8 o'clock Saturday
night the storm was central in Philadelphia
and by 8 o'clock A. NJ. Sunday it had become
central over Boston.
Throughout Saturday a mild and Spring-lkS
temperature prevailed in and around New York
and there were no indications Of the coming biz
gard. About l0.45 Saturday night, when tho
driving rain.storm set in, few persons abroad
were found with umbrellas. For about an hour
the rain fell in driving sheets and then was fol-
lowed by big snowaakes, which increased in
volume and were sent whirling through space
by the ftful blast. 1t seemed almost impossi-
bic for the snow to secure a Judgement on the
water-soaked s~treats, but MS the big flakes in
creased in force and density the streets and
housetops were soon buried out of sight.
Measured by the water precipitation, the
Signal Service Bureau reports the snowfall in
this city equal to so of M inch, butthe pedes-
trian who made his way through the streets
found his travel impeded by a snowfall equal to
four or five inches on a level. There was little
or no drifting, the feeoy particles being heavi-
ly water-charged and packing solidly on what
ever substance they fell. From the time the
snow began falling Saturday night there was
no cessation until 10.40 am. yesterday. Then
the storm ceased and the cold temperature
which had prevailed was succeeded by warm
sunshine and almost balmy breezes, which
speedily converted the streets into pools or
r~ivulets, through which thousands of luckless
pedestrians foundered.
The maximum velocity of the wind in this
city was thirty-six miles an hour. This, coupled
with the great weight of the masses of water
laden snow, brought about the almost complete
destruction of the telegraph and telephone
service. The storm prevailed with greatest
severity between the hours of 2 and 6 O'clock,
and it was during this time that the greatest
damage was wrought.

Government for allowing 80 large debt on the
part of the Colonies.
The Draft was subsequently, passed to second
discussion, and was later referred to a Commlttee
of 5 members.
Without pretending to be a full and accurate
account of the debate, the above sketch will be
found, we think, fairly to represent the sub
stance of it. When our correspondents say
that they have heard that the Draft in its pre-
sent form is worse for the Colonies, they prob
ably have in mind the remark made in the last
Council meeting by his Exeellency the Governor,
as reported by US in our issue Of last Wedncs-
day. His Excellency said in effect that "the
likelihood of passing the Draft in its present
form was not great the prospect rather was
thatif finally adopted it would not be so favor
able to the colony as the original Draft" Our
readers will now be able to judge of this when
they have learnt what views are held by the
Members of the Diet as shewn in the sketch
above, and they will see that if the Draft comes
out of the hands of the Committee with
amendments, those amendments may make
it less favorable for the colonies f; but it has not
been made so blythe Minister of Finances.

the Colonial Law of 81 November 1863 is now

that it is already, or is to. be. entrusted to a

one submitted to the Council some time ago by

The State Department has replied to these inquiries
that the subject is still under consideration by tlie

generally but that it proper to say that as result

the treaty will 90 into effect at the appointed time IN
respect to all the sgnatores except the United staes
and that II will be left open to this Government TO give

propositions. One wac that the approval OF the
treaty by the United States would carry with it a
recognition Of certain French claims to largo part OF
Liberia which recent events show are now beng

regarded as one of the wards of this country SUCH
aggression could not be permitted 1t was also urged
TINT the United States could not consistently with the
Monroe doctrine undertake to join In plan OF dctar

sill another reason put forward in opposition to the
treaty was the contention that it would be unwise for
the United states to give recognition to the present
rather broad and in cases doubtful claims OF
European nations to the best portions OF Africa, which
arc tacny recognized by the treaty.
All OF these arguments were used by the opposition
successfully to defeat the treaty, but as the motion
