Three negro boys, Joe Moore, Richard
Reed and Bill Jones, all between l6 and

him of their joke. Joe told them that
they might laugh, but would never eat
anything else of his. Friday Joe cooked
some fish, dosing part of it with strych-
nine, and asked the boys TO eat with him
and they ate dinner. Immediately Joe

Harrison, sold it and took the 3 O'Clock
Savannah train and has never been heard
OF since. Bill died almost Immediately

CHICAGO, Jan. Capt. Z. L. Hug
gins. at army division headquarters, re-
ceived a dispatch this evening from
Assistant Adj. Gen. Corbin, at Pine
Ridge, saying a number Of Indians are
coming into the agency from the camp
OF the hosIiles. How many of the savages
are en- route it was impossible to approx
mate. According to the dispatch, the
general situation had not greatly changed
IRON the day preceding. The message said
the difficulty was well expressed BY one
old Indian, who today put in an APP
pearance at Pine Ridge. He declared
that the trouble is hat too many lies are
passing 10 both directions between the
agency and the Sioux camp. The inference
is that when the real situation becomes
clearer to both sides the end will be less
distant than it has been made to appear.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan. 7.-Cour.
lers from amongst the hostiles repeat the
announcement that nothing can arrest
bloodshed. At headquarters, however,
hopes are entertained that the trouble
will soon end in peace. Gen. Miles has
not yet heard from Big Road. Jack Red
Cloud. He Dog aud Little Hawk, who
conferred with him on Monday and re-
turned to the hostiles. He expects them
tonight or tomorrow. If they do not
come then it is probable that the general
will take the field after them with but
little delay.
Late this evening the general received
word from old Red Cloud that he would
come IN tomorrow and bring all the In
dams he could with him. fhe general
thinks Two Strike will accompany Red
Cloud, and that he may be followed by
all the other Indians.
Advices from Washington
the approval of Gen. Miles suggestions
of putting the agencies where trouble ex-
lists under military control was received
tonight. Miles was satisfied that this re-
form will inure TO the benefit and happi
ness of the Indians. basing his opinion
upon the records of the officers he has
selected. All OF them have, in times
past, had experience 10 handling Indians
and with success.

New YORK. Jan. The stock mar
ket today was strong throughout, with a
decided increase in the orders executed by
commission houses. The pressure of
short stocks upon the market prevented
any material advance in the general list,
and gave the market a feverish tone,
which lasted throughout the entire session.
A strong undertoue, however, asserted
itself. and little or no impression was made
upon the list. The final changes tonight
are generally fractional gains, but the only
ones of importance were advances of

Overlapping is merely an Intelligent
adjustment of pressure on woodcuts-
a pressure adjusted to suit the resist
ance, so that light lines shall have little
and solid surfaces much pressure. Sc
treated light lines will print sharp and
clear; the compact and closer lines OF
middle tints will be smoothly gray, and
the solid portions of the dark shadows
will be full velvety black. The differ.
ent degrees of light and shade in every
woodcut require this graduation OF
pressure. The theory seems simple
enough, but putting the theory in prac.
tice is not.
Every printing machine is made so
that the pressed and the pressing sur.
faces shall be in exact parallel-so that
pressure shall be absolutely uniform in
every part. If woodcuts were like the
ordinary text types of books and news.
papers in their equality of color and
their equal resistance to impression,
there would be no need of OVERLAPPING
no more pressure would be required ir
n porthn than in another. But
woodcuts aFa c~onspicuously unequal
the thin lines, the close lines, the solid
blacks, are irregularly combined. Yet
each must have n different degree Of
pressure .-Theo. L. De Winnie in Cent.

clared for war. Both chiefs are supposed

WAsHINGToN, Jan. - Secretaries
Proctor and Noble and Gen. Sohofeld
had a conference at the war department
this afternoon in regard TO the Indian
troubles and agreed TO recommend to the
president the appointment of an officer of
the army as agent of the Indians at Pine
Ridge agency, thus necessitating the re-
tirement Of Indian Agent Roger from that
duty. The officer SO appointed will, how
ever, retain his position III the army. The
Indian agents at other agencies will not
be disturbed, but, as shown in Gen.
Schofield's telegram oil the 6tn inst. to
Gen. Miles, army officers have been
designated to lake military control OF four
other agencies. with instructions to CO.
operate with the agents of the interior de-
partment. The report that these agents
have been displaced is without foundation,
except so far as relates to Pine Ridge
agency. Capt Pierce ofthe LIST infantry has
been selected as the agent at Pine Ridge
agency and will probably be appointed by
the president tomorrow. A message cm-
bo1ying the facts given above has been
sent by Gen. Schofeld to Gen. Miles
Secretary Proctor il considerably exer-
cised over the newspaper reports OF a con-
troversy between the war and interior de-
Dartments in regard to the Management Of
the Indian campaign. He said this alter
noon that the two departments were In
perfect harmony 10 the matter, and au-
thorized the most emphatic denial of any
report indicating the slightest friction be-
tween the two departments.
The commissioner OF Indian affairs has
received a long report from the agent at
Pine Ridge about the Wounded Knee
fight, according to which the fight was
started BY a medicine man of Big Foot's
band. When the soldiers were searching
the teepees for arms he suddenly began to
cry out: Kill the soldiers; their bullets
won't have any effect on our ghost
shirts" at the same time throwing up
handfuls OF dirt into the air. After a
short performance he fred his gun in the
direction of the military. and this started
the fight.
