Only Nine Rifles Surrendered.

PINE RICE, S. D.. Jan. 15.-This after
noon the Brules abandoned their proposed
camp near Red Clouds house and
pitched their tepees with Ogallalas, form
ing a camp nearly a mile and a half in
length and connecting with friendlies
south of the agency. The main part of
the camp extends westward from White
Clay creek up the bluffs, on the summit of
which the Indians have posted pickets to
Of the bluffs just about the time the main
body reached its camping ground, sudden
ly appearing as a display party, both
mounted and on foot, after the most ap.
proved military fashion. Since the sur
render by Big Road Of nine rifles this
ceived from those in camp. All the guns,
rifles and Hotchkiss guns in the agency
are however. trained in that direction to-
night and the indications of life in that
quarter will be watched with interest.
Tomorrow it is expected that other chiefs
will turn over to Agent Pierce the arms
of their followers; but it is doubted whether
the surrender will exhaust the supply of
the hostiles. The Indians Of Big Road have
done in that matter of giving up their mis-
cradle weapons same as the warriors of
Big Foot when the tepee OF the latter was
searched Tor the weapons winch II was
known it contained, the massacre at
Wounded Knee took place. There is no
doubt entertained, however, that General
Miles will order q searching of the tepees
tor any more arms; There IS
the hidden weapons in the Bad Lands or
near the camp which the hostlles have
abandoned. Such being the case, the In
dams will scarcely miss the weapons
which they have surrendered or will vol
untary surrender. Knowing chat they may
at any time regain possession of those
which they have temporarily stored away
in their tepees o. In the hills. General
Miles has already assured the Indians that
hereafter they will have nothing to com
plain of so far as their treatment by the
government is concerned.
THE WAR AT AN END.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-In reply to a tel
egram sent to General Miles to-day con-
corning the departure of the Indian
delegation for Washington, General Miles
says: "There is no necessity of haste. l
do not intend to send the delegation until
this matter is entirely settled, and the In
dams do as have directed. which direc-
tons they are now complying with in
respect. This Indian war I now
consider at an end in the most satisfactory
manner. More complete submission to the
military here has never been made by any
Indians. The report that any have e.
capped is simply not true"

colt to adjourn was defeated. that ex-
tension of the senate woulu not result in
any measurable advancement of the cleo

vince a few republican senators who are
of conservative opinions that the old meth
cd of passing measures obnoxious to the

no longer effective. The majority feel
that after the short practice in tactics tried
to-day, the few senators who have retained

sent to support the proposed closure rule.

Faulkner is addressing the senate on his

more than a dozen senators on each side
of the chamber but there are large re-
serves in cloak rooms and committee
rooms ready to meet any phase of the
question that may present itself. Various
efforts have been made by Faulkner. but
he said HOar had left in his place while
he himself retired for refreshment, to
take part in the discussion. Spooner
disclaimed having been left by HOar
and declared that he was present

walk into the trap which Faulkner had
prepared for him. The galleries.. which

Can They Unite on q Man?
Topeka, Kas., Jan. 1.-THE question Of
the success of the attempt of the farmers
alliance to elect a farmer to the senate to
succeed Ingalls, seems at present to hinge
upon the ability of the alliance to agree
upon a candidate in the caucus. All the
member are at present very reticent o
the senatorial question, but all agree that
when the time comes, they will agree upon
a candidate and elect him. Up to the
present time q remarkable harmony has
prevailed in all the alliance deliberations
and the only disturbing element has been
the Turner letter. Caucuses are held every
night after the adjournment of the lower
house. at which the course of action for the
succeeding day is agreed upon. The al
cuses are secret, but so far as has been
learned, all the action taken in them has
been unanimous. These nightly meetings
have had the effect OF accustoming the
alliance men to caucus methods, and they
say that when the senatorial question
comes up they will dispose of it with as
much ease as they have disposed of other
questions in the caucus. 1t is a significant
fact that a majority of the caucuses have
been attended by more than a quorum
OF the entire house.
II FARMERS BETTING DESPERATE.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 16.-A special to The
Journal from Topeka says: Sensational
developments in the senatorial fight may
he expected soon. Farmers alliance menu
bers in caucus last night decided to unseat
seven republican members of the lower
house and seat seven contestant farmers
alliance candidates. When this fact be-
came known to the republicans of the SELL
ate, they met and it is said decided to
adjourn the senate ON the very day the re-
publicans of the lower house are unseated.
The Adjournment will be sine
die, and will prevent the hold
ing of a joint session for the purpose of
electing a senator. The choice of a sena-
tor to succeed Ingalls, will then devolve
upon Governor Humphreys who, it is said,
will name ingalls, to succeed himself. An
adjournment of the senate would also pre-
vent making of any appropriation to pay
the expenses of the state government for
two years. but this will not stand in the
way of carrying out the plan decided OR.

There was a car in tile yard of the
New York Central at AZ street, New
York, a few days since, which was a
novel specimen Of labor saving ma
chine. Inside the car is some clock like
mechanism, which, as the car goes over
the track, records every defect in the
rails II the rails have spread the
thirty-second partof an inch beyond the
standard width, or there is loose joint,
or defective connection, the machine
notes it all down. as well as the distance
from one place to another. Formerly
this work was done by an army of men
called track walkers. Now a single ma
chine does il with unfailing accuracy.
II is proposed to develop the invention
so as 10 combine the detective mechan-
ism Of the car with an ordinary coach.
50 that mechanical examinations OF the
tracks can be made by the regular trains.
