which they could obtain for them in

in 1900, this traffic has ceased, and the

population into the classes of mobiles
and serfs, nearly equivalent to those OF
masters and slaves, though still sub

the then governor, collected sum of
money for Miss Marsden. and many
other people in high position made her
presents of wa-m clothing and other
things she would want in the North.

This was Archbishop Dyonesius Of

work he has done among the half

nee, and the following committee was
named to confer with the similar COM
mittee named by the Alliance: Hon.
Matt Walsh. of Minneapolis, chairman;
Hon. II. G. Bull, Wright county; Hon
f. S. BattIey. Ramsey; Hon. r. l.. Pen
ny, Hennepin, and Col. j. III. Coates, of
Benton.
When this committee appeared in the
hall and started towards room 167,
where the Alliance committee was
waiting, a great sign of relief went up
from such veteran Democrats as SEN
ator Durant, of Saltwater; Hon. K. G.
Farley, of Scott; Hon. j. S. OBrien, of
Saltwater, and host of others.
One enthusiastic Democrat declared
on the spur of the moment that:
"The country was saved. and the next
speaker would not be a Republican"
At the first meeting of the conference
committees the Democrats simply an
nOuRced to the Alliance men that they
presented the name of Mr.. Stivers to
their party for its approval. The
Alliance committee reported this to
their caucus, and shortly returned with
the announcement that Mr.. Champlin
had been nominated by the farmers.
After short discussion both
committees returned to their par
ties. and again journeying back
back to Room 1877. The Alliance men
were willing to yield anything but MIR.
Champlin, while the Democrats still ad-
hered to MIR. Stivers. With matters
in this shape the Democrats adjourned

ALLIANCE ON TOP.
In Nebraska They Have Every
thing Their Own Way.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. Sat IL o'clock
tomorrow the twenty-second session of
the legislature of Nebraska will begin.
Interested politicians are working over
and speculating upon the rather extra
ordinary political situation. The In
dependent, or Alliance people,
claim "a OF the 100 members of
the house, and 1S of the 33 members
of the senate. The Alliance forces are
strongly organized, and the opposition
has little hope of breaking their ranks.
The chances are that the Alliance will
organize both branches of the legis-
lature and control the law making
throughout the session. This unity and
strength of the Alliance is doubly sig
nificant. Boyd, Democratic, was elected
governor by a plurality of only 1,444
over Powers, Independent. The Alli-
ance is contesting Mr.. Boyd's cleo
tion on the ground of fraud and in
timidation. The legislature is the
sole judge Of the elections. 1t
is predicted tonight that the Alliance
will not only seat Powers, but may seat
the entire Independent ticket, throwing
out the Republican state officers elected,
despite their pluralitieS, ranging from
1900 to 1900. Another complication is
the alleged ineligibility of Gov.-elect
Boyd, which may prevent his Inaugural
ton if he is declared duly elected. No
serious trouble is expected, although
all parties are deeply interested and
there is some talk of coercing any Al
lance men that may be disposed to bolt
the party caucus.

PIERRE, S. d., Jan. 5.-The Pierre In
dependents and Democrats held two
caucuses to-day, and Republicans are
together tonight, to decide upon an Or
ganization of the house tomorrow and
lay plans for future movements in the
senatorial contest. At the first caucus
of Independent and Democratic men,
bers in the forenoon nothing was done,
but later caucus bore fruit, according
to the best belief, though the utmost
secrecy is observed. Democratic MEM
bers tonight wear smile which fore
bodies the election of Bartlett Trip for
senator, and the harmonious feeling be-
tween them and the Independents is
sufficient to carry out all plans they
have laid. 1t is reported that a COM
bination of Democratic and Independent
members, with their majority of
four votes in the house, will or
ganize it by giving some Inde-
pendent not named the speakership
with full control of committees, and in
return they will name Tripp for sena-
tor. Republican strikers to-day have
been on still hunt for Independent
members whom they might cajole into
working with them to effect success.
They want to name Robert Buchanan,
of Sioux Falls, for speaker. Senators
Pittigrew and Moody, with every prom
inent politician in the state, are now on
the ground, and every aspirant, open
and secret. has arrived. To-mOrrow's
fight for organization promises to be a
most interesting event in the history of
the state.

PREPARING TO CLASH.
Indications Point to q Great
Battle at an Early Day.

Battle at an Early Day.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. s.
The indications that the greatest battle
indndian history is almost at hand are
increasing. The report of every scout
adds new and strong support
to this view of the situation.
Gen. Miles has also said so in
Strong words. The small handful of In
dian employees here affirm it yehemently.
Before the terrible clash comes they
want to try and rescue their relatives
from the enemy's camp, and are now
ceaferring with authorities for permis-
sion at the risk of their lives to make
the attempt. These Indians in govern
ment employ here also express the hope
that they can induce many of those
who were friendly before the
Wounded Knee battle, and were re-
maining here according to instruc-
tiOns, to come In and be saved from the
certain annihilation that awaits them
within the ranks of the hostiles. EX-
tensive rifle pits are reported being dug
twelve miles west of here by the hos
tiles. Last night the hostiles turned,
burned many houses belonging to the
settlers along the White river, and fin
iShed killing the last remnant of the
great herd of government cattle that
they raided so heavily about a month
ago and have been drawing on
ever since. Notwithstanding the mil
itary protection afforded the white
people of the Pine Ridge agency,
they stand at this hour in great peril
and must so remain until this crisis is
all over. Ever since Gen. Miles ar
rived he has received the most urgent
admonition from the administration to
avoid further bloodshed. Further
bloOdShed, however, cannot be avoided.
There is rumOr current in official cir
cles here that general call for vOlun-
teers to protect the adjacent terri
tory will be made. The shooting
with pitch partially burned last
night created considerable comment.
The Indians have superstition that if
the first fire arrow fired into an enemY's
camp is eXtinguiShed in its flight, it is
evidence that their contemplated raid
will be failure. The arrow fell near
the hotel where the correspondents are
quartered, which is near the center OF
the agency. The arrival here of large
number of physicians indicates that the
war department is convinced that great
bloodshed is at hand. Following is
list of army physicians now here:
Drs. Bach, Hartsuff Bradley and Hoff, of
Omaha; Drs. W. II. Gardner and Angelist of
San Francisco; Dr. Z. F. Gardner, Fort
Porter, Buffalo, N. VI DR.. Ives, Fort Sill
Ind. Ter; DR.. Evarts, Davis Island, N. Y;
Dr. Lauderdale Fort Ontario. Oswego, n. Y;
DIR. Colbourn, West Point, n. Y; DR.. Gibson,
New Haven, Cohn. DR.. Glennan, Fort Riley;
DR.. Ewing, ST. Louis.
Nearly all these physicians state that
they were summoned by telegraph
day or two after the battle of last Mon
day.

MADIoN, Jan. 5.-The government
of Wisconsin is again in the hands OF
the Democracy, for the first time since
Gov. w. Il. Taylor stepped down and
out on the Sd of January, 1876, and
Harrison Ludington was sworn in.
The assembly chamber was jammed
with people who took every opportunity
to give vent to their enthusiasm. There
was burst of applause when Gov. elect
Peck, followed by the new state officers,
all accompanied by the outgoing Of
fcers, entered and took their seats in
semi-circle. Lieut.. Gov. Ryland was
the only absentee of the outgoing
officers. Ex-Congressman Burr w.
Jones. of Madison. escorted the
lieutenant governor-elect in the
place of Mr.. Ryland. sChief JUS
tice Cole and Mayor sBashford oc-
cupied the speakers desk. Mayor Bash
ford, stepping forward. announced that
the time had arrived to administer the
oath of office to the officers-elect, and
invited George W. Peck to come for
ward and be sworn in. The latter ad-
Justice Cole administered the oath in
the usual formula. After Gov. Peck
had stepped down the lieutenant gov
ernor took his place and was sworn,
and so on through the list During the
impressive ceremonies the audience
maintained quiet. When Mr.. Hummer
was brought in the crowd in the gallery
raised cry
ssHurrah for John Hunner!''
When Attorney General O'Connor ass.
cended to take the oath, another burst
of applause went up and ttle university
boys raised the college yell" "Wis-con-
sin h-'Rah-'Rah." The cere-
mony occupied about five minutes, after
which Mayor BashfOrd addressed the
audience, announcing the reception and
the ball to follow. Then the band in
the gallery played, and the big audience
slowly flocked from the big hall. The
inaugural ball tonight was the brilliant
feature of the days events. The as
semby chamber of the capitol was hand
somely decorated and there was
a great crush present, all parts of
the state being represented. EX-
Secretary Villas and Mrs. Villas were at
the head of the reception committee,
and received the guests as they came in.
The floor of the senate chamber was
covered with canvas, and here the dane
ing was kept up until late hour. The
toilets of the ladies were very elegant.
Gov. Hoard left tonight for Canada TO
fill a lecture engagement. Gov. Peck
announced the following appointments:
Superintendent of public property, E.
V. Briesen. Columbus; adjutant gem
eral, j. B. Doe. GAINESVILLE; quartermas-

Washington, Jan. 5.-To Hon. John M.
Thayer, Governor of Nebraska, Lincoln,
Neb.: AT your request rations will be issued
for the time being for the people who have
been obliged by the Indian troubles to leave
their homes. This OF course. is only for the
emergency. They should be provided for

have been gwen for the issue of any arms
and ammunition that can be spared from

from the arsenal if there are not sufficient
at the fort. REDFIELD PROCTOR,
Secretary of War.
The governor is also in receipt of an
extended letter from Hon. George w.
Martin, special relief commissioner,
who is at Rushville, in which he says
the apprehension on the part of resi-
dents in the small towns along the
Northwestern Nebraska border is fully
warranted. Settlers for miles around
have fOcked to towns. fearing an at
tack from rowing bands of Indians, and
the settlements are menaced. Many
trains arriving in Lincoln to-day brought
one OF more companies of the Nebraska
national guard en- route to this locality.
Tomorrow practically the whole of the
state militia will be quartered on the
border
