IS JOHN ]. INGALLS, READ OUT OF THE
REPUBLICAN, PARTY9

The Topeka correspondent of the
Chicago NeWs says
For the past six weeks the Republican state
central committee has been making efforts to
persuade John ]. Ingalls, to stump the state In
the interests Of the party, but all to no purpose
This morning the Topeka Capital, the official
state paper and Republican organ, which has for
years supported Senator ingalls,, prints the fol-
lowing:
The question Is often asked. What Is Senator
Ingalls, doing for the party that hOnOred him 80
many years? The answer must be, nothing.
His lecture engagements engr0sS his time. He
has put few new blocks into the old speech Of
last year, eliminated the local politics and IL
goes as lecture. Wa recognize the old chest
nuts as reported In the daily papers. The Re-
publican party, fortunately, never depends on
one man. He may be the leader to-day, but II
death or disappointment, or Q dlsOrdered liver
bearers spring up to carry the banner on to
victory. That he Is not q leader to-day Is more
due to the supreme egOtisH and cold bl00dPd
gelAshnesS Of the man tnan to his lack Of ability.
Forgetting the gallant, Self-Sacrlhclng fight Of
his party chat went down to defeat withlhim, this
supreme wOrshlpper Of himself, turned his back
upon the political friends Of quarter OF CEN
tury, as well as upon those who laid aside their
support. Since his phil0sophic tumble, which
the people OF Kansas Spurned with contempt,
regardless OF party, he has Withdrawn from the
Shiny pool Of politics to play the sphinx. No
man IN American history was ever 80 greatly
h0nOTed for the single talent OF sarcastic OFatOry,
He has had great opportunities and has most
slgnally failed as leader, politician and friend.
To-day In Kansas the ex-senator Is neither
missed nor regretted.
The NetCs makes the following
omissions from the Capital editorial
Of it's Sunday issue, October Is:
He delivered his old speech the other day at
the auditorium at Chicago, The ex-senator
seems to be living In the phllosOphic atmosphere
Of the nOn-partisan, who quietly awaits the jump
Of the historic feline. Kansas goes along about
as usual. He could have been great Republl-
can leader in his state and the nation after his
defeat by the Alliance. Forgetting all these rhe
gallant, Seli-sacrihclng fight OF his party that
went down to defeat with him)a as well as what
was due the party In his state and nation, he ap-
pears before the people Of the country, through
the press Of New YOrk,. Boston and Baltimore az
the eulogist Of the new political force that de-
feated him and his party. q.
The Atchison Champion quotes the
editorial with this preface:
WHERE IS MR.. INGALLsp
This, from the Topeka Capital, which abused
the Champion for It's Stslwart fight against In
gals re- election to the United States Senate, IL
worthy Of note.
Well, well, the poor, old Capital at
last is unwillinglyforced to admit the
righteousness and wisdom of the
People'smovement in Kansas in 1890.

Now, We do not attempt to make the Tax Re-
form Association responsible for this circular.
The association, as body, may know nothing
about 1t. But when the platform Of the aSSOcia-
ton Is read. It looks very much as though some
agencies were at work to put the plans favored
By 1t into effect. The writer does not know
Thomas Berkely. But such documents as the
above are being sent around, and they should
cause every Alliance man and patriot In the
country to be vide awake and on the alert.
Keep your eyes open. DeSpiSe not seemingly
small things. Be sure Of the man you select 70
legiSlate for you. II there ever was time 10 be
on guard and to determine to act independently,
now is tho time. Every man b expected to do
his full duty. II. W. AYKR.

Disarming the Indians.

PINE RIDGE, Jan. 16-This morning it
was reported on good authority that Gen
eral Miles had ordered the civilians to keep
out Of the hostile camp because heintended
to disarm the Indians, if he had to shell
their camp to accomplish his purpose.
Adiutant-G General Corbin was asked if
General Miles had issued such an order but
he would neither admit nor deny that such
determination had been decided upon
So long, he claimed, as arms were being
surrendered by the Indians there was no
necessity to use force. This morning about
twenty Indians came into the agency un
der Little Hawk and surrendered thirty
one guns. Their clothing was not searched
and no one doubted they bore hidden arms
which they would not hesitate TO use in
case of an emergency. Thus far fifty
guns had been turned over out of at least
AGO which the hostiles are believed to
possess. The Cheyennes belonging to Lit
tie Chiefs and Standing EIk's band left to-
day for Tongue river as it was decided that
they cannot live comfortably among the
Sioux.

COMMANDER REITER
Is Refused a COurt-Martial by
Secretary Tracy.
Tracy Says the Assumption That the Depart
ment Cannot of Itself Pronounce Rebuke
Is an Unheard of Proposition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Secretary Tracy
has written letter to Commander Reiter,
who was censured for his action in the
Barrundia affair, denying his request for a
courtmartial and telling him that the de-
partmsnt regards his case as having been
finally disposed of.
The secretary says, in part: 'You state
the departments action in your case CON
stitutes q public rsprimand and that this is
punishment that can only be legally in
ticted by sentence Of naval general court
martial. Your statement show. you are
ignorant Of the first principles of naval
discipline. The assumption that the sec
rotary OF the navy cannot pronounce a re-
Duke, public or private, upon an officer for
breech OF discipline or failure of perform
ance OF duty without obtaining the sanction
Of a court martial is an unheard of prooosi-
ton. The department inipartially awards
praise or blame TO an officer who deserves
the one or the other as occasions arise, and
the practice Is as cid as the department
itself"
The secretary also reminds the com
mander he was not censured without being
heard, as he (the secretary granted him a
personal interview, during which he was
given the fullest opportunity to make any
statement.
The House at the evening session passed
the Dill granting pension Of $50 month
to General Franz Siegel, and one granting
a pension OF 500 month TO General N. P
Banks. The passage Of the latter bill was
greeted with general applause on both sides
OF the House.

Miss Goodale,s Report ON Wounded Knee

WASHINGTON, Jan! 16.-The commissioner
of Indian affairs has received from Miss
Goodale, supervisor OF education at Pine
Ridge, her report on the battle at Wounded
Knee. She says her information is chiefly
from Indian prisoners engaged in it and
persons VINO afterward visited the scene.
Survivors of Big F'oot's band are unani-
nous in the statement that the Indians did
not deliberately plan any resistance; it was
not d war party. Many of them were un-
armed, intending to visit the agency at the
invitation of Red Cloud. When they met
the troops they anticipated no trouble.
| There was constant friendly intercourse
between the soldiers and Indians, even the
women shaking hands with the officers and
men. The demand for their arms was
surprise 10 the Indians, but the great ma
jority chose to submit quietly. The tepees
had already been searched and a large num-
Der of guns, knives and hatchets coniscated
when the searching of the persons of the
men began. The women say they, too,
were searched and their knives (Which
they always carry for domestic purposes)
taken from them. A number of men had
surrendered their rifles and cartridge
belts when one young man (de-
scribed by the Indians as a good for nothing
young fellow fired a single shot, This
called forth volley from the troops and
the firing and confusion became general
81 do not credit the statement made by
so me that the women carried arms and par
ticipated actively in the fight. The weight
of testimony is Overwhelmingly against this
superstition. There may have been one or
two isolated cases of this kind, but there is
no doubt the great majority of the women
and children as well as many of the I'M
armed men and youth had no thought of
any thing but fight. They were pursued
up the ravines and shot down indscrimi-
nately by the soldiers. The killing of
women and children was in part unavoid-
able, owing to the confusion, but l think no
doubt in many cases it was Intentional The
party who visited the battle field January

were lying close to Big Foot's while women
and children were scattered along dis

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.l
PINE RIDGE, Jan. 16.-Judge Burns, of
Deadwood, who has just returned from the
bad lands, tells an interesting story about
the preparations Short Bull and Kicking
Bear had made for siege when they were
entrenched in that rugged district. Judge
Burns rode through the country and saw
the rifle pits the savages had dug and the
earthworks they had thrown up. The rife
pits were protected by semi circular
mounds of sand and stones, and loop holes
had been bored through the breastworks.
They had also cut strips in the perpendicu
lar columns of stone which led down to the
trails branching in all directions. When
they left their stronghold to come to the
agency to treat with General Brooke, thsy
cached wagon load after wagon load of
jerked beef, which they had prepared in
the event of siege Judge Burns dug up
pipe which the savages had buried with
the stem above ground, a token of relent-
less war In ridiculous con trast with this
sign of bloody intentions was the fact that
General Miles partly wooed the savages back
to the agency by means of crackers and Gig
arettes. Judge Burns says that the coun
try for miles around is strewE with these
ludicrous weapons OF warfare.
luere was q touching reunion mere To-
day. 1t was one of the many anomalous
situations in this strange war, where full
blooded Sioux ministers have read the
burial services for white soldiers who were
killed by relations Of the pastors, and
where the soldiers made Christmas presents
o the children of the Indians whom they
killed three days later at Wounded Knee.

calico and new shoes, and was given
warm bed in a log shack. To-day how
ever, a squaw, who bad been painfully
wounded in the legs at Wounded Knee was
brought into camp from the village of the
hostiles. Through some mysterious means
she learned that child who bore strong
resemblance to the one she left for dead on
the field was at the agency. A runner was
sent after the wait, and when he returned
with the child in his arms the squaw
raised herself with great effort from her
pallet in the tepee and clasped the little one
to her breast. The woman proved to be
the girls mother. A singular feature of
this incident is that the child lived four
days on the field without food or water,

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. I
New YORK, Jan. l6.-A railroad signal
designed to prevent loss of life and prop
erty through telegraph operators forget
ting to signal trains was tested yesterday at
Somerville, n. j., by company of repre-
sentative railroad men. The mechanism is
very simple. The electric current which
moves the red blade over the white face of
signal targets short distance either side
of the station. has two breaks. One break
is closed by key on the operators desk,
the other by drop shutter arrangement
which shows the words ''train ordersn
when the current is broken and the danger
signal is displayed. This shutter is out of
the reach of the operator sitting at his desk.
A move on the key on the desk from the
''sE.ety'' to the danger side breaks the
current in two places, the danger signal
is displayed and down falls the shutter
marked 'train orders''' Now should the
operatoa go to sleep or forget his orders
| and move the key over to the safety point,
only one break in the circuit is closed and
the danger signal remains displayed until
he goes to the back of the office to close
the other break by pressing the button
and there ''train orders stares him In the
face.

Probably Murdered for His Money.

by his father who died in Denver Lambert
also said Carbon had $4,000 in cash and
diamonds valued at SIS, 900 with him. Mrs.
Ledet, who is handsome young widow,
says several days ago Carbon proposed
marriage to her and Wednesday as an evil
dence of his sincerity gave her s42 900.
Mrs. Ledet locked the money in a closet in
her room. Yesterday morning she discov-
cred the money was stolen. Carbon and
Lambert are both missing and no trace Of
them has been found. Mrs. Ledet's theory
is that Lambert murdered Carbon and
stole the money. Carbon told Mrs Ledet
his father left him fortune of 100000 in
