 Review Of Apportfontment Leg1sla-
 ton How tho Representatives Have Been Divided Among the
 Several States.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Superintendent Porter of the census bureau has submitted to the secretary of the interior a report of the operations of the bureau for the six months ended to-day. Among other things MT. Porter says: The passage by the house of representatives of the apportion- ment bill for the first time in the history of the country the same year the census was taken, makes it worth while to briefly review the apportionment legislation. Nu- merous inquiries have been addressed to the census office on the subject, and take this method to answer them. The appor- honment of representatives in congress, according to the enumeration of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth censuses were made by congress. At the first six apportionments congress set forth the ratio of population for each member allowed, and also at each appor- tionment fixed the total number of mem bers of the house. The law for the taking of the seventh census was intended to be permanent. It presented rule of appor- tionment, fixed the number of members of the house 233 and directed the secretary of the interior to make the apportionment to that state thereafter-which was done for that and the next apportionment. The apportionment under the eighth census was made under this law, but congress on March 4, 1869, fixed the total number of members at 241, and the secretary of the interior apportioned the quotas to the states. The ninth and tenth apportions were made by congress-; hence it may be assumed that the power conferred on the secretary of the interior by the act of May 23, 1850, has been repealed by implica- tion.. Heretofore all apportionments have been made at the long sessions of con- gresses, which were elected the second year after each census year. The appor- tionments were made early enough in each such second-year for the election of repre- sentatives to the next ensuing congress. If the apportionment bill which was passed by the house of representatives should pass the senate and become a law the apportionment under the eleventh cen sus would be about two years earlier in time than any heretofore made.

 airy to the Rescue.
 OMAHA, Dec. a1.-A special to the Bee from Nashville says: A blinding snow storm, which is fast assuming the propor- tions of blizzard, began falling here and at the agency at g o'clock this morning. Advices are that the desultory fight was kept up nearly all night at the late battle ground near the agency, until by reason of the suspicious actions of the alleged friend ly Indians in camp near tho agency the troops were called in. It transpired late yesterday evening that the large camp of friendlies located south of the agency is made up almost entirely of old men, ,squaws and children. The question is what has become of the supposedly large number of friendly bucks located there until yester day. A half-breed courier who was through the camp last night reports that nearly every able-bodied Indian had quiet ly slipped away after dusk and joined the hosti1es. Friendly Indians at Pine Ridge now, he says, are prin- cipally squaws and those not able to fight. Up to ii o'clock this morning every thing is reported quiet, both sides resting on their arms and each waiting for some move from the opposing forces. That fur ther fighting will occur there seems no doubt. If the Indians should make an on- slaught during the storm they would un- doubtedly have a great advantage. The danger is that they will now break away to strongholds in the bad lands and will be reinforced. Eight more dead soldiers were brought into the agency after dark last night, being part of yesterdays fatali- ties. The losses to the Indians are known to have been great, but definite numbers have not yet been ascertained. The two strangers who were murdered within two miles of the agency yesterday are now be- ieved to be travellers from Nashville.

CATHOLIC MISSION ATTACKED.

OMAHA, Dec. 31.-A Bee correspondent at Pine Ridge telegraphs that General Brooke has just received news from the scene of fight of yesterday at the Catho- lie mission on Clay creek. Six men of the Seventh cavalry have been killed and many wounded. The first intimation of trouble at the mission was brought late yesterday afternoon by courier who rushed in with the startling news that the mission build ing, where there are a-Qumber of Catholic priests and sisters and hundreds of chil- dren, was surrounded bS hostiles and had been set on fire. The cayalrymen, who had had scarcely any rest for four days, were instantly in the saddle, and with couple of Hotchkiss guns started on a gallop for the mission. AS the. dispatch was being written tho report of the guns could be heard, indicating that hot fight was in progress.
 Two Strike, Little Wound, Short Bull and other chiefs ran away from the agency on Monday night after hearing of the Wound ed Knee fight, taking with them hundreds of warriors. They also compelled the old Chief Red Cloud to accompany them under threat of death. It is these Indians who footed the supply train yesterday morning and in the afternoon raided the Catholic mission

OMAHA, Dec. 31.-A Bee special from Nashville, Neb., says: Chief Two Strike and large body of followers broke away from the agency during the day and start ed either for the bad lands or point near Rosebud agency, it is not definitely known which. Word has been sent to the com mander of the troops at Rosebud to try and intercept the band. Other assertions are momentarily expected, so much so that one we'll up in authority says that by nor ming he does not expect to see single hos tile remaining at Pine Ridge. That in cludes now nearly every able-bodied Indian except the police and some few Cheyenne scouts. Red Cloud and all the lesser chiefs except American Horse have joined their brethren for the last great fight. The storm still rages and gives every advantage to the Indians either for fighting or escape to some safe retreat.

 OMAHA, Dec. 31.-A Bee special from Pine Ridge agency says: Lieutenant Her man Krantzorg, Company A, Seventh cav airy, who was shot in the arm and eide at Wounded Knee, died last night. Several others are near death although most of the wounded are doing as well as could be ex- pected. Francis Schette, troop G, Seventh cavalry, is the name of the other trooper killed yesterday in the battle that took place six miles west of here. The Episco- pal church has been turned into hospital and this morning contains thirty eight of the hostile Indians wounded and captured at Wounded Knee. Most of them are squaws and the majority will die. In ad- dition to Carr's command the Seventeenth infantry and all the cavalry at Rosebud will arrive tonight. Major General Miles will come to-day. scout came in about eight last night and said the hostiles re- assured by the fact that. the soldiers quit the field yesterday afternoon had planned to attack and burn the agency with fire arrows and then stampede the troops and massacre the inhabitants. The report was proved true to some extent, but the very heavy lines of pickets frustrated and stopped the hellish scheme. A terrific blizzard struck the agency at ' o'clock this
 morning. The air is binding with snow ! and the mercury is falling rapidly.
