PINE RIDGE S. d., (via Rushvine,
Neb., } Dec. 29-When the news OF
the fight and its result reached the
agency, pandemonium broke loose
amongst the 5000 Indians gathered
there and a large number of these
broke away. Loyal friendly Indians,
including Red Cloud. joined the army
force under General Brooke and took
their stations behind our ramparts.
AT shutdown fighting had commenced
within three miles of the agency build
ings and a determined effort was being
made by the rebels to reach and burn
the agency. An Indian village OF
friendlies, in plain sight OF the agency,
was seen to so up in flames just before
dark.
Special dispatches have been sent to
warn the settlers everywhere to be on
guard.
The captain of the Nashville home
guards was given official notice from
the agency this afternoon to make
every possible preparation for defend
ing the town. ana TO see that adjacent
settlers are notified. Already terrified
people are arriving, and before mid
night Nashville will be crowded.

Paddock Will Push Forward His
Pure Food Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The Post
says that Senator Paddock of Nebraska
was in earnest when he warned the
senate few days ago that he would
soon move to lay aside the election
bill and take up the pure food bill, and
he will before long again take occasion
to renew his warning. He will first
give his party, however. ample time
to either pass the election bill or con-
clude to lay it aside. In this connec-
ton it may be interesting to state that
Paddock has been misquoted in regard
to his position on this bill. A dispatch
originally sent from here ascribed an
interview alleged to have taken place
between the president and the senator.
in which che former is said to have
upbraided the latter for not supporting
the bill.
The Interview thus picturesquely
related not only never occurred" said
Paddock, ''but the president never
mentioned either the elections bill or
the tariff bill to me. l have never said
| would not vote for the elections bill.
he continued, although l have been
quoted ms saying so. The truth is that
that there is nothing in the provisions
of the bill Objectionable to me. My
position is that / regard the consider
ton OF the bill at this time as unwise.
| think it would be better to discuss
and pass financial measures. The
elections bill is purely a political
matter. in which only straight-out
republicans in the country are inter-
ested, while financial legislation vital
ly concerns all business men and is
sadly needed. Certainly this is the
situation in Nebraska. | have not yet
received single letter from my state
either for or against the elections bill,
which is Il sure indication of lack of
interest in it. Another thing against
the elections bill is that it is regarded
with a suspicion that may not be we'll
founded, but which is certainly operat-
ing to disturb business relations be-
tween the north and the south"
The Post also says: There is at
present an interesting point OF differ
ence between Senators Edmunds and
Hoar regarding the future programme
in the senate. Edmunds believes it
would be perfectly right and proper
for the presiding officer of the senate
to refuse to recognize the minority OF
the senate and thus bring the elections
bill to vote. Senator Hoarand others
do not go this far, but claim that the
presiding officer has the power to bring
to close any filibustering proceedings
which have for their object the defeat
OF rule. They assert that forcible
measures in this case would be consti-
tutional because the constitution gives
each house the right to determine its
rules. This distinction between the
cloture for bill and the cloture for Il
rule is fine one and has not hitherto
been commented upon.

senator Stanford. Leaning scheme.

Senator Stanford's Loaning scheme.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Secretary
Window expressed to a senatorial
caller the other day his opinion Of the
proposition OF Senator Stanford to lend
money to farmers at 9 per cent upon
their lands. He gravely informed the
senator that he favored Mr.. Stanford's
proposition il he would add three
amendments to it. The first was that
the loans should be extended to all
classes OF property. There is no rea-
son, he said, why special class should
be favored. The second would be to
lend money to men who had brains
but no property. His third PROPOSE
ton was to lend simply upon the title
of American citizenship to men who
are so unfortunate as to possess neither
brains nor property. With these three
amendments Mr.. Window says. with q
cheerful smile, the proposition would
undoubtedly be hailed by great out
bursts of popular approval.

Secretary Hut,erworth Pleased.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Representa-
tive Buttcrworth, secretary of tho
worlds Columbian exposition, is in
very happy frame OF mind, now that
the proclamation has been issued.
Speaking TO an Associated press repre-
sentative, Butterworth said that every
thing was booming and the exposition
would be one Of the greatest ever held
in the history OF the world. A copy Of
the proclamation will be delivered to
representatives Of foreign nations, ac-
companied with n statement containing
all the information necessary to q COM
plete understanding OF the regulations
concerning the fair. News from Lon
don and Paris. he said, was very en-
couraging. The directory had agents
in Japan and China and in fact were
reaching out to the end OF the earth.
Never before, so far as his knowledge
extended, had such extensive prepare
tions and such largo sum OF money
been raised at the inception Of an en-
,erprise as in the present case by the
people OF Chicago.

SwindIed by Bad ConsuIs.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga Washing
ton special says: Frauds by which the
government has been robbed of over
81, 900, 900 within the past twelve
months have just been brought to the
knowledge Of the treasury officials and
searching inquiry is in progress.
The frauds were committed by consuls
and consular agents OF the United
States in Canada and by exporters OF
Canadian goods to the United States.
Some twenty consuls, the larger num-
Der stationed in the province of Onta-
rio, are implicated in the charges. The
process of the fraud consisted in the
appropriation of illegal fees and the
differentiation of exports by the ex-
porters. Consular certificates in blank,
signed by the consuls and consular
agents, were issued for q nominal sum
false returns of the value of the goods
sent to the United States. The evil
dence is not complete as to the per-
centages allowed by the exporters for
the privilege of differentiation, but
enough is known to show that sys-
tematic scheme of petty swindling has
been carried on. The certificates were
distributed in great numbers. The es-
innate of 81, 900, 900 as the aggregate
OF the loss to the government is moth
ing more than an estimate. A further
investigation may show the loss to be
many times that sum and that there
are even more guilty parties than have
vet been discovered.

A Pension Puzzle.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-A pension
problem has arisen under the new PEN
sion law of last June. The act grants
pensions to soldiers who served ninety
days and are now disabled from earn
ing support providing they were
honorably discharged. The officials
of the pension Office were OF the opin-
ion that the act of June ~, 1890. did
not include soldiers who had been in
the confederate service. rs the act is
silent in regard to this class OF pen
sioners; neither does it repeat section
4, l76 or wind up with the usual saving
clause-all acts and parts OF acts in
consistent with this net are hereby re-
pealed. The question was referred TO
