The Hostile Indians Lionized In the East

The Hostile Indians Lionized in the East
49, Tho Friendlies Ignored.
CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-The band of Sioux
who arrived here OH Tuesday on their re-
turn journey from Washington to Pine
Ridge left for their destination last night.
Before leaving, American Horse made this
significant declaration: II signed the
Sioux reservation ceding treaty, but when
1 saw how the mouths of my people were
closed in Washington l told little Chief
Noble that l would be no longer leader of
my people, but would mingle with them
as a warrior In the ranks rather than lift
my voice again on behalf Of the white
man." Louis Primeau of Standing Rock
agency, and one of the Interpreters with
the party, said: "In view of this last visit,
and excitement OF last fall, 1 know-and |
am no alarmiSt-that in spring there will
be trouble. At the Horticultural hall in
Philadelphia, where crowds were pres
ent to see the Indians, the only
chief that received marked attention was
Two Strike, who is hostile and always has
been hostile. The people crowded round
him. shook his hand, showered cigarettes
on him, and made the old fellow weary
with demands for a speech. The men who
have stood by the government for years
saw this and knew that they were ignored
because they were %friendlies. The effect
was bad and not only bad, but lasting. l
honestly believe the attention shown to
actual hOstiles in the east to the ignoring Of
the friendlies will work as much harm as
the little attention shown to both bodies
by officials at Washington. Neither the
friendly nor the hostile is satisfied by his
treatment"

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-A disastrous fire
in the cellar of a Brooklyn tenement house
occurred tonight, and resulted in the
death of six persons. The house was a
five-story brick flat house, Nos. 129 ami
131 Sands street. The building was occu-
pied by thlrty-two families, who are left
destitute by the destruction Of their homes.
The fire started about z p. M, from some
unknown cause, in the cellar of No. 129.
Many escaped by the fire escapes. Among
the tenants OH the floor was
John E. Dorney, q printer.
With him lived his wife, Mar
garet Dorney, their four children,
his wife's sister, Julia Griffin and her
aunt, Miss Mary Griffin. Dorney was
away, but all the rest OF the family were
at home! Julia Griffin and two chill
dren escaped over the roof. Miss Griffin's
dead bdGy was found together with that
of Mrs. Dorney and one of the children at
the foot of the staircase leading to the
roof. One of the children that
was with Mrs. Dorney es-
was so badly burned that the
little lifeless body was found stretched on
the skylight IN the roof. On the third
floor lived Carl Benedict and his wife,
l8-months'-old child and Jacob Benedict,
father of Carl. They, too, attempted to es-
cape by the roof, but the grandfather and
his little grandchild were overcome at the
foot of The fatal stairway n were found
beside two women and q child.

supreme Court Decisions.

FARGO, Feb. 25.-The supreme court
handed down a number of decisions to-
day. In the case of the election of Fargo
Argus directors, a new election must be
held. In the Northern Pacific tax cases
against Mercer and Foster counties and
the one against Mclean county, there has
been a mistrial, as the two judges on the
board at the time of the argument cannot
agree, and the cases must be retired. In
the other case against Mclean and the one
against LaNIoure county, no decision is
handed down. In the case of Helen De-
lendricie, plaintiff and appellant. VS.. Jarvis
Peck. the judgment of the lower court is
affirmed, as the plaintiff did not file excep-
tions to the courts refusal to allow her to
dismiss the action. A rehearing is now
granted in the application Of Rudolph
Evingson for . writ OF certiorari to Will
liam Dance. In the case OF Sandeger and
Haughn VS.. Northern Pacific Elevator Co.,
held that the Plaintiffs had power under
their chattel mortgage to remove and sell
the grain, and are therefore in position to
maintain action againet the defendants.

CREATING a Sensation.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. M-The sensa-
ton in the senatorial situation tonight is
the announcement that the three F. NJ. 3.
A. representatives have been anonymously
threatened with personal violence unless
they force the contest to a close. COckrell
said tonight that the threats had come
from two sources and they were convinced
that it is an attempt to bulldoze them into
a hastyabandonment of their party princi-
Piles. He and his colleagues defy the con-
spirators and assert that they may threat
en- or kill them, but they cannot force them
into voting against their will. The F. NJ.
b. A. representatives are very indignant
over these developments and it is quite
possible that it may result in indefinitely
%prOlOnging the contest.

was made this morning for admission to
probate of TIE will OF the late Hon. VIM.
Window, secretary of the treasury, and the
will was filed with H. l.. Buck, Judge of

bly, yield an annual income to the family
Of $1,000, after the debts have been paid;
the family residence to his wife, who is the
sole e%xecutrix, and the remainder to the
children. His wife will have control OF
the entire estate so long as she lives.

Il SNAP GAME.

The Democrats in the Michigan Senate
Unseat Two Republicans.
LANSING, Mich, Feb. 24.-The senate
was the scene of a most unusual proceed
ing this afternoon. Ten senators were alb
sent attending the republican state con
vention at Jackson. The democrats, TAX
ing advantage of this fact, proceeded to
unseat Morse and Horton, both republic
cans, by a strict party vote, and declared
Friedland and Morrow, contestants, EN-
titled to the seats. The three patrons of
industry senators stood with the republic
cans, but their combined forces were
too weak to stem the tide. Indignation
runs high among the republicans, and it is
not known what action can or will be
taken.

Five of the Miners in the Flooded
Mine at Hazleton, Pa, Are
Found Alive.
They Were Entombed Eighteen DAYS
Without Food, Water, Light
or Heat.
When Found They We're Too Weak,
With One Exception, to
be Moved.
A Miracle Unheard of,

HAZLETON, Pa, Feb. 2.-"Alive ~
"Alive q! was the joyful tidinRs tonight at
11:9O from the Inflated slope No. l at
GAINESVILLE. After eighteen days, en-
tombed in the darkness of a mine, five of
the victims of the terrible disaster are
found alive. Their names are: John Tom
asxusky, Joe Ma%stuskowitch, John Burn0,
Besco Frinko and an unknown Hungarian
who was visiting John Burno. These. with
the thirteen bodies already found, make
eighteen men, the exact number given in
these dispatches the day Of the accident.
How they survived is a miracle.
Nothing like it has been known
or heard of in the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania. The
searching party, after finding Bollock.
Reed, Ball and Smith, yesterday, were
more anxious than ever to solve the prob
lem of the fate OF the remaining five.
Not a moments time was lost to-day in the
search. but all in vain. No traces of the
unfortunate victims could be found until
late tonight, when Superintendent McFar-
lane and Caleb Williams were making a
search in the breast of the east gangway
of the north pitch. They were startled and
Mortified to come across the bodies of the
five unfortunate, and yet withal fortunate
men. They were lying in various posi-
tions and all huddled together in their
efforts to keep warm. A careful exami-
nation revealed the joyful fact that all
were alive, weakened, of course, by the
awful torture of hunger and thirst, but
still alive. They were so weak that with
one exception. they could not be
moved. John : Tomaskaskey's ex-
cellent strength left him in better
shape than any of the rest, and he was
able to be moved to the bottom of the slope
of the first lift into the engine house. Dr..
Doolittle, of the village was summoned at
once and entered the mine. A large
stock of blankets were at once secured and
the men wrapped in them. Tomaskusky
was just strong enough to raise his head,
and able to look around. He was care
fully carried to the engine house at the
bottom of the first lift, and medical aid
given to him there. When spoken to he
raised his ayes mournfully, a look of
despair passed over his face and he NUT
tered, "J0hn much SICK" The rest of the
men could not be moved, but were cared
for just where found. The men will not
be brought to the surface for several days.
Careful nursing will be given them and
every effort put forth to saw their lives, so
that their terrible tale may be heard. Rev.
j. j. Cumminsky of Hazleton was sum-
moned, and visited the men down the
slope and administered spiritual comfort.
