Rebellion I'm China.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Chronicles
Tien Tsen correspondent says: The
outbreak in the north is officially de-
scribsd as a rain Of Monaghan rob-
bers. 1t proves to be an insurrec-
tionary movement Of serious dimen-
sions. To-day's dispatches state that
in Mongolia and some districts nearer
the capital the revolutionary feeling
is spreading rapidly and the number
of rebels is alarmingly increasing
An insurgent force, consisting of sew
eral squadrons of Monaghan cavalry,
besides infantry, is reported advano-
ing on Picking, where the utmost
alarm prevails.
The population of large area,
actuated partly by inclination and
partly by fear of the rsbsl soldiery,
has joined the movement together
with several mandarins. The impe-
rial troops have started to meet the
rebels. The entire Christian popula-
ton of King Chan was massacred.

Idaho's Opal AIines.


S. Frankel, OF New York, Presi-
dent Of the North American Gem
Opal Mining company, of this city,
and one OF the heaviest dealers in pre-
cious stones in the United States,
sailed for Europe Tuesday, having in
his possession 5000 karats of opals
that were mined three aud one half
miles from hero, valued at from $50
to $50 per karat, which he will dis
pose Of and will also float $4,000
worth of the conpany's stock there.
The opals which he has with him are
tho result of the company's opera
tons since August-good pay for the
work, surely.
Tho field where the mine is located
has boon prospscted thoroughly, and
it oil shows up as well as the present
prospect. The idea, therefore, is ap-
parently to got the wealthiest capt.
talists Of Europe and the United
States interested and develop the in
dustry on gigantic scale. 1t is not
at all improbable that Moscow may
yet become the opal mining center of
the United States-or, possibly, the
whole world.

THE FATED SEVENTH CAVALRY.

From he Chica0o News, Dee. ~.

From he chicago NerS Dee. ~.
The Hon. George w. Steele, governor of
Oklahoma, who was an army officer for
sixteen years, during which time he was
located at Fort Laramie, and other places
in the heart of the Indian country, re-
marked, as he was preparing TO leave the
Grand Pacific this morning, that he was
personally acquainted with Chief Big
Foot, the Ogallala Indian who led his $50
bucks against 800 cavalrymcn of the
Seventh Regiment in the Bad Lands. ~
can imagine" continued the Governor,
why Colonel Forsyth placed so much
confidence in the Indians Those Ogal-
lalas are the most warlikc Of the Sioux
tribes. An Ogallala prizes his gun more
than his family or tepce, and | can easily
see how they felt when ordered to disarm
themselves. Big Foot had the whole
scheme cut and dried. They expected to.
kill at least twenty soldiers at the first fire
and then all could escape with but few
might be asked; why did Big Foote
choose to surrender to the Seventh Cav
alryY
what importance do YOU attach 10 that
question:" Mr.. Steele was asked.
1T reminds me of the story of q trooper
who was relating his experiences to crowd
in Guthrie not long ago. lie said he had
served II" the Seventh Cavalry, hut had
heard SO much talk about the Messiah and
his warnings to his people, in regard to the
historically numbered regiment, that he
concluded that it would be best to get out
of it.. According to the troopers story, he
heard an Indian, who claims kinship with
Spotted Tail, remark that the Indian Mes
siah had warned the redskins that If they
did not follow up the work of their
brothcrs--nearly completed when por-
ton of the seventh was annihilated at the
time of the Custer massacre--the palefaces
would eventually wipe out the redskins.
Perhaps il was because of this that, Big
Foot resolved to surrender Ia Indian to
the officers of the seventh, and then am
bush the unsuspecting soldiers. The
troopers story is related for what it is
WORTH
General Steele thinks the only possible
