The American passenger pigeon COM
passes the whole Atlantic ocean. The
speed of its flight is approximately
known, and it is able. to cover sixteen
hundred miles in twenty-four hours
This, indeed, is marvellous when it is
seen that, flying at. the rate of nearly
seventy miles an hour, it takes the bird
two days and two nights to cross.

HOSTlLES GIVE UP,

Many of them on Their Way to the
Agencies - Recapture of Big Foot's
Band.
PINE RIDGE, S. D., Dec. 29.-Big Foot
and his band of hostiles have been capt.
ured by the Seventh Cavalry, under
Major Whitesides. The capture was
made on Porcupine creek without con-
fict ALI the other Indians in the Bad
Lands have decided to come in, and the
probabilities are that the trouble is
ended. Big Foot's band consisted of
120 men and $50 women and children.
This disposes of the hostile element,
and it now seems certain that all are
coming in. The camp in the Bad Lands
is now deserted.
RAPID CITY, S. D., Dec. 29.-General
Miles has just received dispatch from
General Brooke stating that Major
Whiteside had captured Big Foot's
camp. General Miles expresses the
opinion that the outfit will not
again escape the military. The Indians
that took refuge in the Businesses
of the Bad Lands, failing to receive
aid from Sitting Bull and seeing them
selves surrounded by troops with fight
to the death ca starvation confronting
them, yielded to the solicitations of the
friendlies and are slowly moving into
the agency. Miles scouts and caval-
ry are in possession of their
natural strongholds. Thus, by the
aid of the railroad and telegraph and
the unprecedented quick movement of
troops around and all over the reserva-
tons, the hostiles find themselves con-
fronted at every point by troops and at
last it dawns upon the savage mind that
further contest with the forces of
civilization is too unequal and can not
prevail.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 90. - General
Miles advices of Friday evening that
the hostiles in the Bad Lands had
listened to the logic and persuasion Of
General Brooke's Ogalla and Brule
peace commissioners, and were NOV
ing toward Pine Ridge, were confirmed
by General Brooke's dispatches Satur-
day. The whole body of braves,
squaws and papooses of the Brules,
Cheyennes and Northern Indians who
have been enjoying several weeks out
ing at the famous terrace or wall camps
in the Bad Lands, killing and smoking
beef, stealing horses and engaging in
other healthful and exciting pastimes,
are now en- route to the hospitable
agency at Pine Ridge.
