message to the hostiles camped At the
mission stating his terms. He said they
must come into the agency in small
squads. and GO into camp on their
grounds near the friendly Indians
He would not object if they chose
their own camping grounds, but the
Brules and the Ogallallas must not camp
together. and must submit To the laws
governing the reservation 1t l. learned
from official sources that this Is General
Miles' final action. If the Indians do
not accept these terms General Miles
will 60 after them, and there viii be

Shots were heard on the outskirts Of
the camp this morning. but they we1e
stray shots fired by the pickets- The

and the conference viii determine which.
! Father Jutz informed General Miles that

Father Juz says the Indians do not
want to be disarmed, This is the key
note of the conference If General
Miles says they will not be disarmed, a
peacable settlement will take place. a
plan has been suggested to separate the

Father Crafts was seen this morning.
The venerable priest Is slowly improving
He was asked what he thought of q

situation Is very serious, and the Indian:
must be very carefully handled or ther,
will be more trouble"
What is the cause Of this war, faith.
er?''
The Indians have been starved snt
left naked; not this year only, but fol
years"
| The attendant advised the priest no
to talk any more, as he Is not yet out O
danger.
All Of the hOstiles reached the mission
five miles out last night late. Th'
troops are pressing them closely, anC
have guarded all avenues of escape
The delay in arriving is due TO the lacl
of transportation. The head of the banC
reached the agency at noon. Few o
them are armed, having hid their arm
in the sand hills.
General Miles says the Indians are il
bad shape, and have done well to get il
as soon as they did. There is rejoicin,
at Pine Ridge over the peaceful outcom
of the war. The Ogallalas were delight
ed TO get back to the agency Tn
Brules were little sullen, but now, a
the Ogallalss have left them, they see tn
futility of attempting to fight. Tha
the WAT is over is the general opinion o

German Government to officially de-
clare the Elbe closed TO navigation.

In both cities all the theaters and other

AFTER all the diplomatic verhage of
the correspondence between Secretary
Blaine and Lord Salisbury Is cleared
away SAWS the National Democrat We get
iust about this for the net result.
England viii not admit that we
have exclusive rights in Behring Sea
will not admit that that Is CLOSED sea =
But England Is perfectly willing to enter
into an arrangement for the protection
Of seals from extermation. Mr.. Blaine
replies that we have a right to exercise
exclusive jurisdiction over Behring Sea,
if we want to; but We don't assert the
.sclosed sea" theory, and We are willing
to arbitrate for the preservation Of the
seals from indiscrimnate slaughter. 80
the war with England is postponed.
This gets US back to where Mr.. Bayari
had to drop the matter. He took no
stock in the '.closed sea- theory, and
was opposed To- the capture of British
sealers and secured the release Of several
Of them. he simply asserted that If
4 everybody hunted seals proniscously
they wouldn't last three years, and he
| proposed that we and England, Germany,
Russia, and Japan should enter into q
| joint agreement for the protection and
perpetuation of the seal fisheries. The
other Nations concerned readily assent
| ed 10 this, and then Mr.. Blaine came
along and asserted the closed sea" the
ory and rejected arbitration. Lord Sal
| isbury retorted that the CLOSED sea
theory would never he admitted, and
1 that if, in the application of that theory,
| English sealers were molested England
would fight. Then there was brief lul
in the correspondence, after which Mr.
Blaine writes NJ tinterminable length tha
the evidence in favor Of the "closeC
sea" theory is overwhelming, but tina
| our Government does not assert that the
ory, and never did, and while it refuses
to submit tweedledum to arbitration it i
! willing to arbitrate tweedledee.
And having fallen back on Mr.. Bay
ards position, Mr.. Blaine concludes b,
quoting, as the best expression Of hi
sentiments, a passage from one of tn
dispatches of Mr.. Phelps, Minister Il
England under President Cleveland.

DURING the month of December last
there were granted by the Pension Bu-
reau 9521 increase cases, 3599 original
invalid cases, and 51S2 cases under the
Dependent Pension act of June last.
The pension agents fees in these cases
amounted to 1896, 1885. At this rate
the fees Of these verminous infestations
Of an unclean system would amount
annually to 81, S4S, $50. When 1t is
considered that the pension agent rem
ders no legitimate service that the ex'
soldier could not perform for himself,
the waste and inquity of this annual
swindle carried on under protection OF
the laws is at once apparent.

RECENT developments in this city,
says the MeadulIe Messenger, are of ma
ture to modify the first impression in
reference to the Delamater bank failure.
There was general sympathy expressed
tor the members Of the embarrassed
firm and there is yet concerning some
of them. But several transactions have
been revealed that will require n large
mantle of charity to cover, unless ex-
plantations and restitutions are promptly
made. The hypothecating of county
orders after they had passed into the
County Treasury, or had once been paid,
and other crooked transactions, are
offenses that cannot be condoned.

Is 1883 there were 4 200, 600 bushels
of oysters received at Baltimore from
the Chesapeake Bay beds, but this sea
son the receipts to the same date have
fallen below 1900, 900 bushels, while
packing houses throughout the State are
closed, and from all parts of the bay
comes the story of exhausted beds. The
violation of the culling law, and the
consequent destruction Of the young
oyster, is responsible for this condition
of things. The law is a dead letter, and
a great industry is being ruined. Near
ten years ago Professor Brooks, of John
Hopkins University, uttered the warn
ing against the wholesale depletion OF
the oyster beds: but the work has con
tinued, and even now the oystermen dc
not seem to realize the gravity Of tn,

cheaper than the cost of the administra-
