HOSTILES GIVE UP.

Many of them on Their Way to the
Agencies - Recapture of Big Foot's
Band.
PINE RIDGE, S. d., Dec. 29.-Big Foot
and his band of hostiles have been capt
ured by the Seventh Cavalry, under
Major Whitesides The capture was
made ON Porcupine creek without a con-
fict All the other Indians in the Bad
Lands have decided to come in, and the
probabilities are that the trouble is
ended. Big Foot's band consisted of
100 men and $50 women and children.
This disposes of the hostile element,
and it now seems certain that all are
coming in. The camp in the lad Lands
/ is now deserted.
RAPID CITY, 5. D., Dec 29-General
Miles has just received a dispatch from
General Brooke stating that Major
Whiteside had captured Big Foot
camp. General Miles expresses the
opinion that the outfit will not
again escape the military. The Indians
that took refuge in the Businesses
of the Bad Lands, failing to receive
aid from Sitting Bull and seeing them
selves surrounded by troops with fight
them, yielded to the solicitations of the
friendlies and are slowly moving into
the agency. Miles scouts and caval-
ry are in possession of their
natural strongholds. Thus, by the
aid of the railroad and telegraph and
the unprecedented quick movement OF
troops around and all over the reserva-
tions, the hostiles find themselves con-
fronted at every point by troops and at
last it dawns upon the savage mind that
further contest with the forces of
civilization is too unequal and can not
prevail.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec 30. - General
Miles advices Of Friday evening that
the hostiles in the Bad Lands had
listened to the logic and persuasion of
General Brooke's Ogalla and Brule
peace commissioners, and We're NOV
ing toward Pine Ridge, were confirmed
by General Brooke's dispatches Satur-
day. The whole body of braves,
squaws and papooses of the Brules,
Cheyennes and Northern Indians who
have been enjoying several weeks out
inc at the famous terrace or wall camps
in the Bad Lands, killing and smoking
beef. stealing horses and engaging IN
other healthful and exciting pastimes,
are now en- route to the hospltabIe
agency at Pine Ridge.

The EVIL Effects of Delay In Meeting Ones
Obligations.

The EVIL Effects of Delay In Meeting Ones
obligations.
Many persons in forming and in car
rying out their ideas of justice fail to
take account of the element of time.
They intend to deal justly with every
one, to withhold IRON no one his due, TO
fulfill every obligation and satisfy
every claim; but they feel no special
duty to hasten these acts of Justice. If
they are done eventually they are con
tent and think that others should be
content also The hours or days or
weeks that may elapse between the
claim and their fulfllment of it do not
seem to them very important, if it is
but ultimately discharged. They would
not for the world qvade debt, but they
will delay its pak.aent without any
punctuation. Tho 4tend to throw all
their influence on tie side of the right
but whether to-de' or tomorrow they
have not decided Now there are, OF
course, some case where this may be
unattended with any apparent evil re-
suits; there are others where mola
or less inconvenience ensues; and still
others where all manner of suffering
and loss is entailod. Those who come
close enough to the poorer classes to
succeed in gaining their confidence find,
hat one prolific source of the suffering
they are trying to alleviate is the
unpunctual payment of services rem
dered. Happily the people who delib-
erately cheat a workman or work
woman out of his or her just earning

means small Slight excuses, such as

AWFUL DISASTERS.


Ice on the River Avon Gives Way. Throw
ing Hundreds OF skaters Into the water
Thirty or Forty Thought to Have
Been Drowned - Two Hundred Lives
Lost by the Turning of the Chinese
steamer Shanghai.
LONDON. Dec. 29.-The ice broke Sat
urday ON the river Avon at Portobello
bridge, Warwick. There were thou
sands of skaters on the surface at the
time. panic followed and there was
rush for the shores. Scores of per-
sons broke through and were rescued
with much difficulty. Many disappeared
under the ice and were drowned.
The scenes that followed the break
ing of the ice were agonizing in the ex-
IRENE. In the mad rush for land
scores of the skaters fell and were
crushed by others who followed. not a
few receiving severe injuries in this
way. The screams of the women
and children and the shriels of the
drowning persons created a panic even
among those who were at a safe dis
tance from he spot where the ice gave
way, and this added to the horror of
the affair. Some of the unfortunates who
went in the water at the first crash and
who were drowned might have been
saved had there been enough cool heads
among the men who were beyond the
danger point. After the scare had sub
sided somewhat hundreds of skaters
were eager to hasten to the rescue of
their comrades who were struggling
in the water. Planks were procured
and pushed to the edge of the
treacherous ice, and by this means
many lives were saved, although
some of the sufferers may die
from the cold and exposure to which
they were subjected. One woman in
the water had just reached the end of a
plank when she lost consciousness and
passed away under the ice to be seen no
more. 1T is feared that thirty or forty
were drowned. as a large number are
missing. The latest reports state that
seventeen bodies have been recovered,
among them several women.
OVER TWO HUNDRED PERSISTED.
Further advices from China as 70 the
burning OF the steamship Shanghai near
Woo Hoo. in the Province of Nagan-
Hoei, about fifty miles from Marking,
show that the disaster was much more
serious than at first imagined.
The earlier advices received stated
that the crew, consisting of about sixty
natives, together with several European
officers, were supposed to have met
death either in the flames or subsequent
ly by drowning while attempting
to escape from the burning vessel. 1t
now seems that the number of lives lost
win amount to over 200, and that they
all lost their lives by drowning. A ter
rible panic, it appears, occurred
among the Chinese passengers and
crew as soon as the alarm of fire
was heard, and the panic increased
terribly when the flames spread beyond
the control of the terror-stricken crew.
The few European officers on board the
Shanghai seem to have done their best to
maintain some kind of order among the
Cinnamon, but without result. The
large majority of those who lost their
lives did so by jumping overheard in
order to escape from the flames; others
met their death through the swapping
of the clumsily -lowered and over
crowded boats.
