HE SIOUX HEARING.
An Almost Unanimous Preference for
Civilian Agents.
fBy telegraph to tho Dispatch.l


WASHINGTON, February 9.-The pow-wow
with the Sioux delegation was continued
at the Interior Department with Indian
Commissioner Morgan presiding. After
several Indians had expressed preference
for civilian agents rather than army OIL
GERS, the Commissioner suggested that the
sentiment Of all present ON that point be
taken. The interpreter was instructed to
ask oil who favored civil rather than mill
tary control TO rise to their feet. With
single exception all stood up. The excep-
tion was Major Swords, the chief of the
Indian police at Pine Ridge. The Com
missioner explained his vote by saying that
he had been offered position IA the regu-
lar army by General Miles This remark
elicfted considerable laughter among the
spectators.
All the Indians complained more OF less
Of insufficient rations, but not Of actual
suffering for food. Most of thom wanted
schools like those at Hampton and Carlisle
established on their reservations, where
their influence would be felt by the
parents OF the children under training as
well as by the children themselves.
Renewed complaint was made to-day
that whites were employed at the agencies
for purposes TO which Indians were better
adapted. Other complaints were that
white squatters encroaehed upon Indian
lands and could not be ousted because the
boundaries had not been definitely sur
veyed; also, that where reservations adj
joined the lines were not clearly marked.
No promises were given by Commissioner
Morgan or Secretary Noble beyond what
are contained in the Sioux agreement OF
1889, and that such matters as boundaries
and the encroachments OF squatters should
be attended, To.

Especial scicgrsm to tins Dispssch.l
Pulaski. Va, February 9.-About, 2
o'clock this morning the town was startled
by terrific explosion at the Pulaski IRON,
Furnace. Despite the rain crowds started
for the scene OF desolation.
The damage was found 20 be centred IN
the engine-house. where the massive dow
inc-pipe had been exploded by pressure
of gas and the two engines OF aoJ-
horse power each were strewn wi.n
dlbris. while against the front wall Chief
Engineer Hemmeriy was found bleeding
and nnoonscious. 9. NJ White, water-ten-
der and Edward Sublett. a boy. were also
taken from the ruins. but proved 10 DC
hut SLIGHTLY hurt. The engine-house,
LARGO brick structure, is almost wreck as
10 the walls. while the roof Is virtually
gone.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPES.
General Manager Eckman was standlng
h,t a feyy feet from the building when the
EXPLOSION occurred and his escape from
fivinp missiles was remarkable. Boss-Ma-
cbinist Cbamplaine and his son we're IN
the wrecked building, but escaped unnurt;
-Four physicians were quickly on the grounu
and tenderly cared for the engineer
His injuries are from conclusion ana the re,
srIlt cannot yet be determined. 1t was feared
that the furnace would have to blow out
but by the good fortune Of having Just re-
ceiyed a third engine. and being able TO
ret some parts from the second furnace
building here. it is hoped that they VIII 6e
able TO bank the fires until repairs can be
made. The accident is of very unusual
character, every precaution being taken 10
prevent such accumulation OF gas.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
The engines had been stopped In order
10 nut in a new tube at the furnace. and at
the signal to put on the blast one engine
was lust starting when the calamity 0c-
cured. The explosion occurred where me
blowing-ppes entered the tub above the
engine. lis force tore out the connecting
pines. and thus wrecked both the blowing
tubes. The damage direct and consequent
tial will reach $4,000, and double tnat
amount if the furnace chllls.

Another provides for changing the

pei action on the force bill. but 1t IS ex-
ceedingly doubtful II they, can move

tive Townsend. of Colorado, tonight. to
discuss the present phase of the Senate

ton should be taken in the matter, and a
determination was expressed that the
House should have an opportunity TO act
upon the silver question in some form.
While the extreme silver-men were unwill-
ing to accept anything that did not en-
body the free-coinage idea, several more
conservative measures were discussed,
among them the free coinage of the Ameri-
can product, and plan of campaign by
which il is hoped to bring the House to O
vote upon the silver question was outlined,
though not formally agreed upon.
