lean Horse, Fire Thunder and Hump, of
the friendlies, and Little Wound, Big
Road, He Dog, Two Strike. High Hawk

prominent hosti es.
General Miles takes with him to Chi
cago forty Indians, who will go to
Washington later on under the care of
the War Department. General Miles
desires that they should go to the capi-

The MINERS, STRIKE.
Little Hope of Speedy Settlement of the
Monongahela Valley Trouble.


Monongahela Valley Trouble.
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 27.-Reports from
many of the up-river mining towns in
dicate that there is very little hope Of
arbitrating the strike which has thrown
1000 men out of employment and is
paralyzing trade in the Monongahela
valley. The leaders among the miners
assert positively that the only basis
upon which they will settle is the pay
ment of the half cent advance. The
operators from the beginning plainly
said they could not pay the price de-
manded.
The miners are strengthening rather
than weakening in the struggle and
settlement seems far off. The pools are
filing up with empty craft, and this,
perhaps as much as anything else, gives
the miners the impression that coal is
badly needed and makes them indiffer-
ent to the idea of compromising. AS yet
there has been no suffering among the
miners, though great many are on the
verge of it. Several of the operators
admit that if the miners stand out five
or six weeks more the advance will be
paid until the empty barges and boats
then in the pool oan be loaded, but that
can be done in about two weeks, and
the run" would again end for the sea-
son.

A DEAD PRINCE.

Prince Baudoin, the Heir to Belgium's
Throne. Passes Away Unexpectedly
Thought to Have Committed Suicide or
Died of Broken Heart.
BRUSSELS, Jan, 24.-Great excitement
has been caused by the announcement
of the death of Prince Baudoin, nephew
of King Leopold and heir to the throne,
which occurred Friday morning. The
alleged cause of death was bronchitis,
but as it had not been known that the
Prince was i'll, the sudden announce
ment of his death gives rise to ainful
rumors. The Prince was born June 5,
1869. He was the son of Prince Philippe,
the Kings brother, and Princess Marie,
of HohenZollern.
The excitement created by the an
nouncement of the sudden death of
Prince Baudoin increases hourly and is
fed 10y the alarming rumorS in circula-
tion as to the cause of the unexpected
catastrophe. One of these rumors hints
that when the mystery now surround
ing the affair is dispelled it will be found
to be in circumstances almost repeti-
tion of the tragedy which recently cul-
minated in Austria with the death of
the Archdul1e Rudolph and the young
Baroness Vetsera.
Attention is directed to the fact that n
German governess was recently-under
peculiar circumstances-dism ssed from
her place at the court of Brussels. 1t is
now said that this woman has been en-
gagged in an intrigue with Prince Bau-
doin which resulted in the birth of n
child.
King Leopold, it is said, undertook
which Prince Baudoin had formed for q
lovely plebeian employed in training
the Princess Josephine. The attach
ment was discovered only recently, al
though an intrigue had been going on
for over year, and prince is said to
have been born who will never figure in
the list of the royal family. Prince Bau-
doin shocked the royal house by propos-
ing to marry the woman he loved, even
at the cost of forfeiting his princely po-
sition, thus following the example of
Prince Oscar, of Sweden, who threw up
his titles to marry Miss Monk. But
King Leopold would not have it. He
drove the unhappy mistress with
her child out of Belgium, with pro-
vision for their support provided she
would never see Baudoin again, and the
prince either committed suicide or as
some believe, died of broken heart.
The next heir to the throne, Prince
Albert of Flanders, is but fifteen years
of age, and in poor health. AS the Sale
law prevails in Belgium, excluding fe-
males from the throne, the kingdom
would be in serious danger of civil war
should young Albert die and King Leo,
pold also. Leopold, however, is not yet
an old man, and is in fairly vigorous
health.

apiece at each other, when both regi-
ments retired, and not n man on either
side was hurt. Some statistical crank
has figured up that it took on an aver
age ton of ammunition during the
war to kill man. However that may
be there were at least q thousand rounds
fired at those six troopers as they went

them was hit.

were correct. The fellow knew The

the Federal commander, and this am

INDIAN TroubIes Caused by whIte Thleves.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 27.-Adjutant
General Mullen telegraphs from ST.
Hilac that there is no change in the sit
uation around Thief River Falls. The
Chippcwas continue to threaten tho
whites, but it is believed n judicious dis
play of Winchesters will cause Il subsi-
dence of trouble without bloodshed.
General Mullen has concluded to place
100 stands of arms and 1000 rounds of
ammunition in the hands of citizens of
Thief River Falls. Investigation shows
that the trouble between the whites
and Chippewas has resulted from tho
depredations of the former upon the
timber upon the reservation.
