WASHINGTON, March 30.-Al dispatch
from Pine Ridge Agency says tfSt the
probability of another Indian war is very
promising, for the young men are becem-
ing uneasy and the more conservative
ones are holding secret conferences. War
is in the air. Couriers have been sent
out in every direction to the various
agencies to ask for the cooperation of
tho other tribes should their assistance
be required, and in almost every case as
sent has been given.
The Sioux feel deeply the cut given to
them at the conference at Washington.
They say that they were snubbed; that
no attention was paid to what they had
to say, and very much ill-feeling exists
among them.
They see around them that the govern
ment is making active preparations to
quell any disturbance that may arise,
and this excites them. They know the
strength of our government and that
without reinforcements the Indian can
d nothing; hence their call upon their
allies, which has met with such ready re-
Spouse. Councils are being secretly held
in every Indian camp.

STABBED TO DEATH
Brutal Murder by an Italian
Near Camden N. J.
he KILLED HIS s1sTER-1N-1Aw
The Assassin Captured and Lodged in the
County Jail.

He Meant to XIII His Wife But Was Pro-
vented by His victim-The Girl Sank
Down and Died Before the Eyes of Her
Parents Young Man Murders His
Companion.
CAMDEN, N. J., March 80. Tho body
of plump, pretty Italian girl, II years
old, lies in the Morgue, with a great,
gaping stiletto wound in the centre of
her breast. She was Giovino Donore, and
she gave up her life to save her sister
from the murderous fury of her husband.
Her murderer, Dominica Fileppo Coco,
aged 90, is safe in the County Jail, and
the authorities have q score of witnesses
to show that Coco was bent on murder
when he went down from Philadelphia
on Saturday night to see his wife, Clio
who's sister, from whom he has been sep
arated since January 10.
Cocco's wife lived with her parents at
Cedar Brook, little hamlet on the Cam
den s. Atlantic Railroad, about twenty
miles from this city. Coco blamed his
wife's relatives for his marital troubles,
and, going to their house, called his wife
out. The parents endeavored to inter-
fere, and Coco, drawing a long-bladed
Stlletto, threatened TO XIII the OLD man,
Michall Pinto. Giovino heard him and
declared dramatically, "You shall not
kill him; you must kill me first"
Coco glared at her angrily aud walked
away with his wife. Giovino followed
them. Just as Coco drew his stiletto
upon his wife the girl stepped between
them and caught the Infatuated Coeco's
arm. The latter seized the girl about the
waist. With his left arm he bent her
body forward and gave his stiletto one
fierce upward thrust. The girls blood
followed in a stream, and she sank be-
fore the eyes of her parents, sister and
several others, and died in few minutes.
Coco had brought a bundle Of clothes
with him and had left them at the rail-
road water tank. He went directly to
them, threw off his bloody cap and
shirt, replacing them with others, and
drew on a pair of overalls. He then took
to the woods, where he remained all
night, and in the morning boarded the
first train for this city. He was cap
tured at the depot in this city by Officer
Hart
He was given hearing before the
mayor and admitted the murder, saying
that the girl had struck him in the head
with an axe. He was committed.

Five Par1or Cars Burned.

PHILADELPHIA, March 30.-Shortly after
8 o'clock last night fire was discovered in
the conductors room of the Reading
Railroad Company at the Kaight's Point
ferry slips, and in less than an hour the
entire property, including the three slips
and eight coaches, were destroyed.
Three alarms summoned the entire de-
partment to the scene. A shifting engine
removed the passenger coaches, while
citizens pushed several other cars out OF
danger. In spite Of their efforts five par.
lor cars, valued at 5000 each, were de.
stroyed. The flames spread so rapidly
that Evan Fox, night ticket agent, was
caught in his Office and narrowly escaped
death. In his efforts to get out he was
badly burned.

Tho Brazilian Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 80. The Brazilian
newspapers, which arrived here in tho
mails ON Saturday, contained little else
than the discussion Of the reciprocity
treaty with the United States. While
the remonstrances to the treaty arc very
loud and earnest, they come almost en-
tirely from English, French and Germa n
supporters, who have reason to fear that
they will lose q large share Of their trade
because of the advantages offered in tho
treaty to the merchants and manufactu-
rers Of the United States. The Brazilian
government is prepared to carry the
treaty into effect upon April l, and neces-
sary instructions have been issued to all
the collectors of customs.

FAMOUS MURDER TRIAL.
bennington of Fargo Sets Up Hynotism I
His Defense.

FARGO, N. D., March 30.-It is possib3
that the trial of Joseph Remington for
the murder of J. I. Flett may become one
of the most famous cases in the United
States.
AS the case at present stands it will be
almost impossible to convince any jury
of his innocence on the grounds of in
sanity or any of the common pleas, hence
it is almost a settled fact that the de-
Tense will be on the same lines as that of
Gabrielle Bompard in Paris last year,
wherein it was claimed and so clearly
proven a case of hypnotism that her ac-
complete was sentenced to death, while
she received a term of imprisonment.
The theory in tho Remington case, it is
understood, will be that he committed
the act while hypnotized by the Mime
apolis woman whose name has been so
frequently mentioned since he murdered
Flett.
Competent authority, who have visited
Remington in Jail with this theory in
view, are said to DO of the opinion that he
is SO constituted as to be susceptible to
mesmeric influence. Should this line of
defense be adopted it will probably be
the first one of the kind in the United
States

prince promptly replied that he wanted
the same room that he had occupied the
last time he had stopped at the hotel. He
said he wanted to be saved the annoyance
of going to one place for his wardrobe,
another place for his writing utensils, still
another place for his bureau and some
where else for a mirror. He wanted them
all combined. The landlord stroked his
