ONLY A FEW LEFT.
Survivors of the Black Hawk w ar
Meet in Old Age.

VI Ildm n w
Meet in Old Age.
GALENA. ILL.,, Aug. 2S.-The first re
union ever held of surviving soldiers of
the Black:Hawk war of 1882 was held
to-day at Lena. the nearest village to
Kellog's grove, where the decisive bat
tie of the war was fought. Seventeen
whlte-haired veterans, each more than
seventy years of age, registered their
names at headquarters. There are
thirty-four known SURVIVORS Of the con-
flict living in this section. All who
were not too enfeebled by age to at
tend were at the reunion. Judge Kinds,
of Lena, made an address in which he
referred to the fact that Zachary
Taylor, Abraham Lincoln and jefferson
Davis saw service in the Black Hawk
war. Judge Kinds speech was fol-
lowed by one from Gen. q. W. Jones,
who was an aid. de-camp on the staff of
Gen. Dodge, the commanding general
in the war Congressman Hit also
made an address.
A resolution demanding pensions for
the survivors was adopted. Rev. Bar
ton Cartwright resented the assertion
that the war was unnecessary, grow
ing out of an unprovOked attack Oh
Black Hawk by Maj. Stillman's forces.
He has vivid recollection of the affair
at Stillman river, and stated that Black
Hawks braves attempted to massacre
the soldiers while they were asleep.
The alarm was given and the soldiers
began the attack, which resulted IN the
bloody war. A permanent organization
was formed, and it was decided to hold
another reunion at Lena, June 25, 1892.

INDIA Is SETTLING.
Little Needed to Foment Discord
and Rebellion.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-A number of ex-
ceptiOnal meetings of the India council
have been held recently, due to advices
from Simla on the disturbed state of
India. The immediate question before
the council, whether the government be
authorized to proceed with a retrial of
the Bungobasi case and prosecute for
sedition other native papers, was de-
cided in the negative. The government
seems to be afraid to risk the failure of
the prosecution, which would result in
a serious blow to the prestige of British
rule. The st. James Gazette, always
well informed on India, says the coun-
try is in dangerous state of ebullitiOn,
and since the marriage reforms were
passed the discomfort has been of rapid
growth.
Many large cities are ready to burst
into seditiOn and will be difficult to con-
troll. The disatfected have lost that
wholesome respect for British author
lty which was sufficient for three dec
AIDES to keep the peace. Any deliber-
ate attempt to foment open sedtion
may readily succeed; the prospect is al
together gloomy. According to high
official in the India office, the govern
ment is aware of the tendencies to dis
order in the great cities but is satisfied
with the general position. A native
press association, forming under the
sanction of the government, is expect
ed to promote harmony by a moderate
expression of views based on accurate
news

PRISON REFORMERS.
The Principle of Fines Favored
by the Congress.

Il liz Il EInCADAC VI II hiCS oROA w
by the Congress.
CHRISTIANA, Aug. 2S.-Tne interna-
tional congress now in session here,
which is considering the question of
the treatment of criminals and the best
means to be taken to improve the GRIM
inal classes. has passed resolution in
favor of the extension of the principle
of fines. The congress holds that, in
stead of sentencing criminals to terms
of Imprisonment, fines ought to be de-
termned upon and inflicted in proper
ton to the position of the criminal.
When such course is deemed advisable,
the resolution also says, these fines
should be payable in installments, and,
when q sentence of Imprisonment is
imposed. the offenders ought to be
granted the option of a fine as a means
of reducing such term of imprisonment.
Some members favored a remission OF
punishment for small eXtOrtiOnS in the
event Of the prisoners making cOmpen-
SatiOn showing that they regretted hay-
ing committed the offense charged
against them. The congress also placed
itself on record as favoring an inquiry
into the system of convict labor, and
recommended that a detailed and an
alOgOus statistical report upon the char
acteT, habits, occupation, health, ma
tiOnality, religion. past life and career
after leaving prison of habitual Grim
inalS should be drawn up in the differ
ent countries sending delegates to the
congress.

GALLUS AND GAY.
A French Murderer Who Has
Small Hone Beyond.

PARIS. Aug. ga youth named Bail
let, who had been convicted of commit
ting several atrocious murders, was be-
headed at DOuai. near Lille, in the de-
partment du NOrd, this morning. The
execution of this young criminal is re-
markable from the fact that he exhibited
the most callOus demeanOr and seemed
to have the most utter disregard for
death. At 500, when Ballet was
awakened, he joked and laughed with
the executioners, priest and prison at
PENDANTS. and actually succeeded in
shocking those who might naturally be
supposed to be somewhat hardened and
accustomed to unnatural death scenes.
The young rascal positively refused
to listen to the priests comfOrtings and
admonitiOns, and continued chatting
gaily until the last. When in front of
the dascule of the guillotine, and upon
the point of being thrown upon that
sliding plank, Ballet shouted: Viva
la republlcr' The words were hardly
out of his mouth when the eXcutioners
seized the young criminal, threw him
under the knife aud a second later his
head rolled into the basket Of sawdust
waiting to receive it.
