Buffalo BiIl's Iniuns.

CHICAGO. March 14-Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Morgan arrived here from
Washington City today. He is strenuous
ly opposed to the plan of Buffalo Bill, who
has the consent of Secretary Noble to take
the hostile Sioux now in confine-
ment at Fort Sheridan and other
Indians to Europe with his Wild
West show. This afternoon Morgan held a
consultation with DIR. Eastman, the Sioux,
in regard to the matter. 81 never was in
favor of taking the Indians from the
reservation" said Morgan. land l still

Neighhors outrage q Kansas Farmer.

KANSAS CRY, March li.--David Handy,
farmer living with his sons near Piper,
sixteen miles northwest, came before the
county attorney at Wyandotte. Kan, last
night and said that on Thursday night s.
s. Barker, 7. Eastman, E. 0verton and J.
Swallow, all prominent farmers of that
vicinity, came to his house, chopped
open the door, seized himself and son,
bound them to fence in their night
clothes and then wrecked the house and
destroyed the furniture. They left Handy
and his eldest son tied to the fence, not
withstanding the night was bitter cold,
and. taking the youngest boy, made him
walk barefooted in the snow half a mile,
when they set him free. The boy returned
home and released his father and brother.
The men named by Handy have been ar
rested. The outrage grew out of litigation
between Handy and Eastman.

ve captain Dick Fslkenberg Prepar.
ing TO Conquer the savages.
NEW YORK. March 14.-[Special. Cap
tain Dick Falkenberg has called for to-
morrow morning at his residence, No. 265
west Forty-first street, a meeting of
gentlemen who are to accompany him in
ms expedition through the unxeplored
parts OF the new state of Washington. They
start from New York on Sunday. March
and travel right through TO Seattle.
where they will be joined by a few more
gentlemen DESTROYS of adventure and
lame. The party to start from here
comprises about eight men, but Captain
DICK Is willing to accept more followers,
upon acquaintance and information he
nnds them to be made of the right stuff.
At Seattle the captain will lay in pro-
VISIONS for an eight months trip across
the unknown regions which are bordered
by the Olympic mountains. The first
journey will be made to the north, where
they will find a few settlements
and get fresh provisions for q
second trip in q southwesterly direction
toword the Pacific, and then a third
march will be made across the unexplored
section back to Seattle. Each of these
trips will take about eight months, and ia

are SO thick that the men will have to cut
their way through, and cannot possibly
take saddle horses. Captain Dick SAYS that
If possible he will take along one pack
mule to carry their provisions which will
not be much. lie will take along only
-four, salt and small quantity of meat.
He thinks there is game and fruit enough
to live on.
There are current among natives and
settlers of the section to be visited, horri-
bic tales of q wild tribe of Indians
living in the Olympic mountains.
They are reported to be cannibals
of most savage order. People have
disappeared from the neighborhood and
have never been seen again, and it is sup
posed that they were kidnapped by these
wild Indians and fricassed. It's claimed
that white man has never vet entered
that section and returned to tell the tale
Fear of these cannibals has prevented so
far ali attempts to explore the rich tract
Of land.
It is known to rain there, but not single
stream comes down from the Olympic
mountains to the outside. Captain Dick
reasons, therefore, that all rain and water
from the mountains runs to lake some
where in the center of the unexplored area,
and that such lake must have some SUBJ
terranean outlet to the Sound or the Pacific
ocean.
