OMAHA, NEB., January Ga special
from Pine Ridge says: Everything now
points to battle between the hostile
and the friendly Indians who desire to
leave the hostile camp and come TO the
agency. Red Cloud has signified his de-
sire TO return to the agency, but he is
nearly blind and no one will volunteer
10 lead him in. for the Brules threaten
death to the first person that attempts
10 desert the hostile band. The older
Indians want To come in, but the young
bucks insist Oh fighting. The Gordon
of troops is drawing tighter around the
hoStiles. The hOstiles are on guard
night and day. Fires are being burned
at night TO prevent any one from eScap-
ing from their camps. Gen. Miles has
sent peace commission to the hostiles.
II they still refuse TO come in their
camp will be bOmbarded. Machine and
shell guns are being placed on all sides
of the camp for this purpose. General
Miles is fast becoming impatient, and If
the Indians do not obey the order to
come in he will attack them.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, January e.
The Postofiice fight is still on, and in
stead Of weakening with age, constant
ly becomes more bitter. So hot has the
| fight become that the belief is gaining
ground here that all The applicants will
be knocked out and that dark horse
will yet win the race.
j. w. Malcolm, who was defeated for
the Republican nomination for judge Of
the criminal court, went to Washington
this morning, and it is said that
he is seeking consolation for his
defeat in good fat post
office job, which is worth
good deal more than the judg-
ship. Other knowing ones assert that
Malcolm did not gn in his own interests,
but To urge the az 0ointment Of still an
other dark horse whose name is not
given. Then again 1t is asserted that
well known Republican attorney, OF this
city, who is always mentioned In cOnnec-
tion with every available Office, as
though he were the only man in the
party fit TO hold Office, will be the next
postmaster.
Mr.. Hanna said to your correspon-
dent, the other day, that the matter
was settled, and had been so for some
time, but that through the pressure
brought to bear on the Presi-
dent, the appointment had been
withheld. He (Hanna), however, knew
how it would end. There had not been
aS much uncertainty about the matter
as was generally supposed and the
President knew all the time whom he
would appoint. Mr.. Slack has little
to say in regard to the matter, but main
tains a discreet silence. He appears
very anxious, however, since the dark
horse phase has been put on the matter.
Atkinson's friends claim for him that he
has the best and most complete recon-
mendations ever filed in any con-
test for postmaster, and say that
for the sake OF the Republican party
the President cannot afford to ignore
them. 1t Is understood that II Atkin-
son is not recognized in the appointment
his friends, and he has large follow
in, will hold the Republican party re-
sponslble for 1t.
1t may be said here that the Atkinson
men, il they find that he cannot get the
appointment himself, will then attempt
to control the appointment in the inter
est of some one who has not autagOnized
him. This may account for the feeling
that dark horse will be the winner.
If, on the contrery, either Atkinson or
some one OF his dictation receives the
appointment fully as much of rumpus
in the party may be expected as If At
kinson is defeated. The muddle is daily
becoming deeper, and nothing but fail
ure to appoint postmaster at all can
keep the party from internal fighting.
Tomorrow is anyiously awaited by the
candidates and tieir friends as the day
on which sometkng is likely to be done.

PITTsBURG, January 6.-The Morse
Public School, in the Twenty-iiith ward,
has returned to the use OF coal.
For some weeks past the supply OF
gas in this locality has been decidedly
weak, So much 50 that It has been found
impossible 10 heat the school.
Shortly before the holidays the gas
supply in the school for two days was
entirely cut of. Complaint was made
to the company and they promised to
remedy matters. 80 that the school
would be heated and the supply increaS-
ed. During the vacation OF the past
two weeks the fires were lighted, but
the heat had seemingly decreased in
stead Of increased.
At meeting OF the School Board,
held last night, it was decided after
quite discussion, to return to the use
OF coal. 4 force Of workmen were put
to work this morning taking out the gas
fixtures and fixing the fires preparatory

Secretary Noble Kicks.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January ct
is stated at the interior Department
that the War Department officials to-
day received 4 telegram from General
Miles urging prompt approval OF his
recommendation that the Indian agents
at the South Dakota agencies be super
seded by army officers and stating that
the situation demands that the changes
be made at once. Secretary Noble de-
clned to say anything upon the subject
when questioned to-day, but persons
very close to him assert that the Secre-
tary will vigorously oppose the adoption
of General Miles plan. on the ground
that it inevitably would result in
undoing all or nearly all OF the good
that has been done in recent years to-
ward the material Advancement OF the
Indian tribes in the Northwest. Tie
Secretary will stoutly maintain this
position.
The Cabinet meeting to-day consider
ed the Indian question, especially with
reference to Gen. Miles proposition to
relieve Indian agents Of the charge OF
the agencies, near the scene of the
troubles, and replace them with officers
of the army. Secretary Noble is known
to be earnestly opposed to such plan,
and its accomplishment is therefore a
mater of doubt.

BEHRING SEA MIDDLE.
Comments of the british Newspapers ON
Blalne's Position.

LONDON, January 6.-Sir Chas. Tup'
per, the Canadian Commissioner here,
in an interview said he did not believe
the United States was preparing her
naval feet to attack foreign vessels.
He thought the American Governments
statement on the Behring Sea contrO-
versy might have been circulated for
election purposes.
The Pan NAL Gazette says: "Mr.
Blaine obviously means TO try more
bounce for the sake Of making politi-
cal capital. We are convinced, how
ever, that the Americans will not sup
port Mr. Blaine. 1t is imperative to
arbitrate the matters in dispute"
The Globe says that it attributes the
friction to Mr.. Blaine's dragging
spread d-eag geism," and it is OF the opin-
ion that ''in view of a possible, though
unlikely, display OF American force in
Behring Sea, Great Britain ought in
stantly to strengthen her Pacific squad
rons."
The Globe advocates the settlement OF
all the matters in dispute by means OF
arbitration.
Tie st. James Gdzette says that it ac-
cepts the official denial in regard TO the
Behring Sea troubles, adding, however,
But why is the United States Navy
being massed in the Pacific unless ii Is
to make the Behring Sea mere clauSem?
Officers of the American Navy do not
act upon rumors printed in American
papers"
The Press Association of this citv an
nounces that Lord Salisbury IS engaged
in the consideration of the forty page
dispatch received from Mr.. Blaine, De-
cember 30, the latest dispatch received
from Washington. II does not contain
a definite acceptance of Lord Salisburys
proposals for arbitration on the main
question, that of the right OF the Brit
ish sealers to catch seals in Behring
sea. The Press Association says that
on the time Of closing
the sealing. The Press Association
adds that Mr.. Blaine has not replied to
Sir Julian Pauncefote's note OF June
last, In which the latter says that Her
Majesty's government must hold the
of the United States re-
sponsible for the consequences arising
from acts of interference with British
vessels contrary to the principles Of in
ternational law.
The Press Association also states that
no preparations have been made to aug
ment the British fleet in the North Pa
ciiic Ocean, as such step might be re-
garded as menace.

Governor Benver,s Message.

HARRISBURG. PA, January G.-Gov-
crnor Beaver in his annual message to
the Legislature advocates the passage
OF such laws in regard to the ballot as
will secure to every voter freedom from
dictation in casting his vote aud abso-
lutte certainty as to its being counted as
cast, and expresses the opinion that
,Lere can be no danger Of going too far
In either Of these directions. He calls
upon the Legislature 10 organize a
commission to supervise the part which
Pennsylvania shall take in the Worlds
Fair, and asks that liberal appropria-
tion be made for the erection OF suita-
bic buildings and for stimulating In
every proper way a complete and salts
factory exhibit Of the States Industries.
The balance OF the message is devoted
to purely State matter.

Rumors are current here that the $500
Indians on the Tuttle reservation are
liable at any moment to inaugurate a
massacre OF settlers living along the

been unruly for some time on account OF

here are totally inadequate to protect
settlers should an uprising occur. Set
tiers are much worried over the Situa-
