Local billiard room keepers held an i'm
portaut meeting yesterday at the office OF
George Meyer, the agent of the Brunswick
& Bake Company, to discuss the desirable
itv of holding a State championship billiard
tournament in this city. As result it is
very probable that 4 tournament Will be
held during the middle of next February.
Those present at the meeting were: Messrs.
Meyers, Harry Davis, Ed Morris, William
Dodds, Murphy, OF the Seventh avenue, and
Stofft, of the Monongahela House.
The most important question was that re-
latiug to the ways and means. 1t was
pointed out that 81 ,00O would be required as
prizes for the players, and their expenses would
have to be paid, together with other necessary
expenses. The following sums were then guar
auteed at the meeting: Six entries at $50 each.
Brunswick & Bake, 500; Harry LAWS, 500;
William Dodds $50; Morris & kuehne, SO.
making total of 500 Messrs. Murphy and
Stoff. stated that the proprietors oftheIr rooms
would likely contribute SIS for each room. 1t
is also thought that Brooks & Mccall will sub
scribe siOO; that Graft & Co.. of the Collender
COMPANY will donate $50. This would make
tu;al of S915.
After long discussion it was agreed that
Mr.. Myers have power to try and secure suti-
cient additional promises of subscriptions 10
definitely decide to hold the tournament. sir.
Meyers stated that he had every confidence OF
securing all the money requisite. The leading
business men will be visited.
Il was further agreed that the game to be
played be the l4-incE balke line. This condI-
ti0n was necessary to make the event one of
championship kind. Mr.. Meyers pointed out
that there Will be plenty of time for intending
contestants to practice between now and the
middle of February. The games will be played
on i 5X1O table and building has not yet
been secured. The tournament will consist of
Is games, and will last from the Monday after
noon until the Saturday evening. Two games
per day Will be played during the first three
days and three games per day during the bal
aEce oi the week.
Speaking of the project Mr.. Meyers said: Il
think the tournament will he 80 and II Will
be a success. Mclaughlin. Cline and Burrls
will come iIom the eastern part of the State,
ana think they will bring more entries with
them. Messrs. DoddS, Walker and Bushart
Will represent our CITY, and without doubt the
aff2Ir Will be exceedingly interesting. l am as

player, and when tnat is proven We can give
credit to our recognized champion. Depend
upon 1t : tournament will do 4 great deal OF

players here"
Another meeting will be held in few days,
when il is expected the necessary funds VIII
have been collected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-The report of the re-
lief of Colonel Forsythe of his command OF
the Seventh Cavalry by G en- eralMiles. which
has been telegraphed East from an unofficial
source, is confirmed at the War Department
to-day. The officials, however, show decided
disinclination to talk about the matter.
Neither Secretary Proctor nor General Scho-
field is willin: to say very much on the sub
ject, although both practically admit that
General Miles did not act entirely upon his
own responsibility.
Secretary Proctor said to reporter: Gen
eral Miles did it. It is a very much mixed up
matter. and may explain it later"
General Schotield was rather more COM
nunicative. He said: There is not much
that l can say about it just now, but am
willing to explain as far as can. 1t had been
suggested by person whom cannot mention
the fight on wopnded Knee creek the other
day. as the reports stated that several
Indian women and children were killed.
Accordingly General Miles, at sug,
Forsythe o. his command. pending
an investigation of the circumstances
of that hight, which investigation is probably
now being conducted by General Miles.
Yes, the general management of the fight is
also to be looked into. too, but the particular
point in question is the death OF the women
and children"
Considerable criticism against Colonel For
sythe's suspension is heard in the War Depart
ment. 1t seems to he directed against the pol
icy of relieving officer during the progress of
campaign, Instead of waiting until the
troubles are settled. AS to the charge that
Colonel Forsythe allowed his men to kill women
and children, it is asserted that it would be i'm
possible in the hurry and confusion of an unex-
pected fight and the subsequent stampede and
pursuit, to detect the sex Of the Sioux. One
officer remarked:
1t IS preposterous to say that it is necessary
in an Indian skirmish to stop firing long enough

At your request, rations will be issued for the

for the emergency. They should be provided for
otherwise as soon a possible. Directions have

Proper One.
wAsHINGToN, Jan. 5-Secretary Noble was
questioned to-day as to what action had been
taken on the recommendation of General
Miles that the Indian agents of the South
Dakota agencies be relieved from further duty
and that their places be filled by military
officers. The Secretary SAID he did not care to
discuss the matter further than to say that the
subject had not been mentioned to him by any
one with authority to act in the matter. 1t Is
believed, however. that should General Miles
recommendation be submitted to him by the
President for his views. the Secretary would
strongly oppose the transfer.
The Secretary spoke with some earnestness
of the reports that have been in circulation re-
Gently to the effect that the Indians were in a
starving condition, and that the pending
trouble grew out OF the fact that the Govern
ment had not kept its agreement with the
Sioux, but on the contrary had al
ready begun to cut down the rations
supplied to them in violation of all treaty obli-
cations. The Secretary denounced these state
ments as unqualifiedly false. 1t was time, the
Secretary thought, that these people should be
compelled to do something. and he had lost
patience with those who upheld the Indians
in their Idleness. He sincerely regretted that
the recent action of the military had resulted
in bloodshed, and he congratulated himself
that his department was in no sense RESPONSE

The Agent Said to Have Directed the Killing
of Sitting Bull.
CHICAGO. Jan. 5-The Ne,0s says: 1t is
stated on definite authority that complaints of
a series nature are to be lodged against Indian
Agent Mclaughlin. who directed the killing of
Sitting Bull. The complaints were suggested
in mild way by a number of Army officers
whom a reporter visited. The sequel will
demonstrate the intense feeling which resulted
from the Sitting Bull affair.
Agent McLaughlin's interference disturbed
the cherished plans of the Department of the
Missouri and hastened, if it did not cause, the
recent trouble. 1t Is alleged that there were
improper motives behind the killing. The
charges against Mclaughlin and other Indian
agents will he preferred by army officers who
are satisfied that the Indian agents are respon-
sible for the outbreak. Interviews with num-
Der of army officers are then given. Colonel
Cnrbin said:
II am positive that General Miles has never
been given any official report of the killing OF
Sitting Bull. Until the Department is sapprised
of all the circumstances in the case it would be
unwise to express any hasty criticism of the
action which mas led up to the present compli-
cation. know that General Miles has been
very anxious to learn the truth of the Sitting
Bull affair. Agent McLaughlIn's report may
have been DELAYED for very good reasons. but at
the same time this delay has caused much an
noyance to the Department.

PARIS, Jan. 5.-The police has just dis
covered that the International is revived.
This is one great association, which in
cludes Russian Nihilists. French Anar-
chists and Italian and German Revolution
aries. 1t is divided into three sections.
The first deals with propaganda by violence,
and is composed chiefly of Russians, French
and Italians. The second, which is the
governing body of the International, is
situated in Germany.
The English Socialists who are affiliated
to the new International, take no part in
the violent proceedings which are. ad-
vocated by their continental colleagues.
To-day search was instituted, and many
arrests were made. 1t is probable that
before long some of the foreign revolutiopr
aries will be expelled from the country.
