EMMA ABBOTT DEAD.
The Great American Songstress, After a Brief
illness, Dies in Salt Lake City.

HELENA, MONT, Jan. "a special telc
gram from Denver, Col, states that Emma
Abbott died at Salt Lake at 1.45 this morn
ing. The death of the famous songstress
was caused by a sudden attack of pneu-
monia.
Emma Abbott was born in Chicago in
1854. Her first public appearance was in
Il little town near Peoria in 1868. She made
her debut as an operatic singer in the
Covent Garden Theatre, in London, May 2,
1915. After a tour of the principal cities
of Europe, she came to New York, where
she made her first appearance in July, 1915.
In February, 1877, she was married to c. ],
Wctherell, who was her acting manager
until his death, in Denver, two years ago
A close estimate places the amount of her
fortune at s3,0oo,o00.
Her business affairs arc said to be in
good condition, as she was methodical and
careful. Her will, which has been made
for some time, makes her only child, Il boy
of 10 years, the principal legatee, although
it is understood she made other bequests.
A short time before her death she turned
to Mrs. Pratt, the wife of her manager, and
asked: aWhat dat" is tt,is:' being toitl
she replied: at is just two years ago tina
| my husband died"
Calling Miss Annandnlc to her. she sait

she passed away. Her remains were taker

Riches Take Wings.

A London dispatch to the San Francisco
Chronicle states: "It would be difficult to
find parallel to such sudden descent
from immense wealth to comparative pov-
erty as that Of the partners in the great
firm of Barring Bros. Il Co. Lord Revel-
stoke was building Il splendid mansion in
Mayfair, which was to cost 100000, but
has surrendered this, as we'll as the rest OF
his property, to the creditors, to be realized
as among the assets of the firm. The
other partners have dealt with their prop
erty in the same way.
Mr.. Hodgson, who was silent partner
only, and drew $4,000 year for his share
of the profits of the business, had a mag
nificent place in Kent, where his family
had dwelt for three generations. This he
has given over as it stands, house, furni-
ture and everything to the liquidators, and
finds himself beginning life again at
an advanced age at a salary of $500 year
in the service of the revised limited COM
pany of Barring & Co.
Another partner, Mr.. Stewart, father-in-
law to Herbert Ward, of Stanley and Africa
fame. had purchased one Of the most pala-
tial houses in Carlton House Terrace, and
was spending e150,000 in decorating and
furnishing. The house was to have been
occupied by him this spring, and great
house warming was planned. He consid-
ers himself fortunate in obtaing a pur-
chaser for it in the person of Mrs. Mackay.
Yet another member of the firm, Henry
Bingham Mildmay, had splendid house
and estate In Kent, for which he has found
q tenant for three years in Sir Henry
James. t5

THE MINERAL LANDS BILL.
he Northern Pacific Taeking on Amendments.
Especial to the journal. ]

Special to the journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The House Com
mittee on Mines and Mining to-day had its
final meeting upon the bill to adjust min
eral lands within the Northern Pacific
grant in the States Of Montana and Idaho.
Three amendments were made to the bill,
which were suggestions by the Northern
Pacific Company. They provide that no
examination shall be made Of these lands
east of the 10th meridian, which is east of
the line OF the Grow reservation, and con-
tirming to the Northern Pacific all lands
east of that line. Another amendment pro-
vides that the examination Of all lands
shall be completed by the LIST Of December,
1892. Another provides that all lands to
be hereafter surveyed shall be examined
within six months after pas*s are MED IN
.4..slI land offices. These three amend
ments will be offered on the floor q the
House when the bill is called uEfor con
sidcration. Another amendment, which
the officers of the company have suggested,
is definition 81 "lands," whether mineral
or non mineral. 1t was the desire Of the
company to have the mineral character of
lands defined to mean such lands as are
more valuable for mineral than for any
other purpose. A majority of the com
mittee, however, decided that the courts of
the States should decide upon the mineral
quality of lands. Chairman Carter, Of the
committee, expects to have day set apart
soon for the consideration of the bill, and
it will undoubtedly pass at this session.
The fourth amendment which the company
desires to the bill may be added in the
Senate when it reaches that body.

City. Idaho, says that adviccs from Poca-
tcllo state the indians on the Fort Hall
reservation have been dancing. and 200 in
war paint have taken to the mountains
with arms. causing great excitement. Gov
crnor Wiley has been asked TO order the

pany of United States cavalry at Boise bar
racks will be sent there at once. The
Indians on the reserve number 1900 or
lluu OF the Bnnnncks who caused tho pro-
longed war twelve years ago The people
at Pocatcllo have almost no arms, and the
towns of Blackfoot and Eagle Rock are on
the border Of the reserve.
There is considerable excitement over
the hostile attitude of the Bannacks at the
Fort Hall reservation, and the Governor
has sent the citizens of Blackfoot 300 guns
and 5000 rounds of ammunition, at their
own request.
The Indians who took TO the mountains
are working eastward, toward Wyoming

MARCUS DAILY has resigned his position
rs general and quartermaster of the Dem
ocratic party, and Tim. Collins, of Cascade
county, has been selected to conduct that
party in its future plans. There are two
qualities that have never been denied t"
Mr.. DAILY by his bitterest 1s>'fty enemies
his bnsineaa r,.saclty and the ability to use
his dollars. The Helena Independent
weeps, the Miner walls, and the world Won
ders what will become of the STANDARD

tires his dollars, they will have hard row

other man the party is indebted for victory
in the late campaign, But none of his
friends haye been able to persuade Mr..
DAILY te remain at the head of the State
Committee. His long head sees change

AMONG THE HOSTlLES,

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan, 6.-Capt. Bald

been appointed as a board of inquiry to sit
In the case OF Col. Forsythe, suspended pend,
ing an investigation of the fight at Wounded
Knee. Word has been received through
scouts that Short Bull, one of the most de-
termined and implacable foes of the whites,
has taken command of the main body of hos,
tiles and intends to make descent on the
agency. AS there are only about six hun
dred soldiers here, the gravest apprehensions
are felt.
Yesterday q detachment Of thirty men was
sent out from the camp to meet wagon
trai with supplies for the camp, and when
ten miles out, the wagons were found be-
sieged by a band of 100 Indians. On seeing
the troops approaching, the redskins scat
tered but Immediately renewed the attack
on finding the small number of men in the
detachment. A courier was sent back to the
camp for reinforcements, but in the mean
time an incessant FIRE was kept up on both
sides, resulting in the wounding of one sol
dier and the killing and wounding of several
Indians, the exact number of which has not
been ascertained, as the reds carried their
hours after the courer's departure, troops
were seen coming at full gallop to the rescue.
The Indians then scattered in all directions,
and the wagon train was escorted tu camp
safely.
Sunday night will never be forgotten by
any one who spent it at Pine Ridge Indians
have always been permitted to come in, and
during the day and evening wander around
the agency as they pleased, carrying guns in
their hands. By the excited actions of half.
breeds and squaw men it was soon learned
that there was plan to take advantage of
this leniency and gather in the town late in
the evening, and at a given signal for each
Indian to pick out his man and kill him on
the spot The success of such plan was
selfeyident. There arc less than 500 soldiers
here, and they are on the far outskirts of the
village at their earthworks. Such force
with their cannon would keep large num-
ber Of Indians at distance in the day time,
but Mt night the picket line is necessarily
weakened and drawn out Into too long line
to hold back any rush. while cannon are USE
less. The hostiles were to be close at hand,
and as soon as firing began, they were to
rush In. Finally the half-breeds told certain
Indians that the whites were on to the
scheme, and told the bucks to light out, or
the soldiers would make It warm for them
In an hour there was not an Indian In camp,
except uniformed scouts and police.

THE message of Governor Toole, which

in literary sense an able production. Had
that voluminous document been read be-
fore the students Of the College OF Mon
tana or an audience Of citizens as an essay
or lecture upon the present condition, the
future Of our State and its needs, no critic
would have denied that it was thorough,
complete and accurate. Many of its recon-
mendations are those acceded everywhere
to be the necessities of the hour. But the
vital point, whereon his Excellency might
have redeemed his party and redeemed
Montana, was ignored by him when he
read his suggestior.s, his conclusions, be-
fore body that has no more power to
1 carry, out his ideas than an audience OF
foreigners. Had the Governor been firm
and not dominated BY the leaders Of his
stubborn party, bis influence would have
