DIsARm1NG THE REDSKINS.
General Miles Says His Method
Working Satisfactorily.


PINE RIDGE, IS. D., Jan. 21.--This
morning all the troops, with the excep-
ton Of the First infantry, broke camp
and moved to the banks Of Craven creek,
about four mics south of the agency
The redskins are at loss to understand
the move. Not a few of them looked
upon it with apprehension, and they
have accordingly doubled their pickets.
General Miles has defined the duties
of the army officers detailed to the diff
ferent agencies. It has been decided
that the First infantry of San Francisco
and four troops of the Ninth infa ntry
will remain at this agency after the
main body Of soldiers shall have been
ordered home.
In regard to the criticism which
Miles method Of disarming the Indians
evoked, that gentleman says the work
has proceeded satisfactorily. and he will
continue to disarm them in his way,
and take his own time to do it.
Colonel Corbin, assistant adiutant
general, has been called home to
Chicago by the serious illness OF his
wife. All the troops in the field will be
reviewed tomorrow morning by General
Miles.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAY.
GEoRGE w. BoGUE OF CHICAGO AP.
POINTED RECEIVER.
The Company to Be Thoroughly Re-Or-
ganized and Placed on Paying Basis.
A Side Issue in the Matter.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2l.--George M. Bogue
was this morning appointed receiver fol-
the Pacific railway company, on COM
plant by the judgment creditors. The
bill sets forth that the company, which
was organized in 1889 by G. B. Holmes,
the well-known cable road man, and
other capitalists, with acapital Of $780,.
600, is insolvent.
It is stated to be probable that the
Pacific raiiwaycompanyof OF Eos Angeles,
CAL, will shortly hea fe1fganized. The
confession ofindGment .th8 other day fol
$1628 on note executed Januafy 9th
to Edward w. Russell by G. B. Holmes,
is said to be an entering wedge in that
direction. The Pacific railway is q
cable road operated by G. B. Holmes,
its president. The stockholders are
mostly Chicago men. Over 81 ZOO, 600
was raised in this city alone. Instead
of being paying investment, the road
lost money from the start. Now the in
debtedness is said to reach the neigh
borhood Of 100000. The trouble
seems to be that the in
vestment is too heavy for the amount
of business done. The recent Judgment
is said to be the fiist move by the Chi
cago stockholders to put the Pacific rail-
way on new basis. II was in fact q
preconcerted movement on the part of
the creditors to obtain other judgments
and have the road placed in the hands
of receiver. It is then the intention
to completely reorganize the company.
1t is said the road is now earning
$3.50, 900 year net, and that by cutting
down expenses and running it on close
business principles, it can be made to
pay, or at least clear expenses.
There is side issue in connection
with this matter. The ecorporation known
as the National railway company met
yesterday. 1t is one Of c. B. Holmes
street car syndicates, and it seems some
stock of it's St. Louis lines was trans
ferred to the Los Angeles road. The
stockholders were inclined to make q
row about it until explanations were
made and per cent. dividend de-
clared.
