TEE INDIAN CRISIS.
The Hostiles are Drawing Near
the Agency.
GENERAL NILES DLTIMATUM.
He Refuses to Farley Further-The Situation
is One of Great Anxiety and
Much Uncertainty.

CAMP AT ADAToN, Jan. II, via Chadron,
Neb.-[ Special telegram to THE HERALD. i
A detachment of companies d, E and L,
Sixteenth infantry, is just in from escort
duty from Gen. Wheaton's camp on White
river, twenty one miles from here. Four
troops of the Ninth cavalry, General V.
Henry commanding, and four companies of
the Second infantry under Wheaton, are
there. Eight squaws and six bucks
surrendered to Wheaton yesterday.
Their supply train from Pine Ridge
agency was fired on last night by hostiles.
Early this morning the Second and Ninth
broke camp to follow the hostiles, who are
moving toward the agency. Gen
eral Brooke is within four miles
of the hostile camp Sklrmishing
at long range between pickets and hostiles
has been going on. The belief that the
Indians will surrender is gaining much
credence Yet a disarmament will no
doubt be attended by another slaughter, as
the Indians are desperate.
Two wagon loads of heavy overcoats
came to US from Pine Ridge agency this
evening. They were much needed, as the
nights are cold and bitter. Indications
point to winter campaign.

revised statutes as to appeals to the su-
preme court and made an explanation in
regard to it. He referred to the case of
the japanese murderer Jugiro, sentenced
to death by electricity, an appeal in whose
case was denied by the supreme court, and
said the attorney for the prisoner has ap-
piled for another writ Of habeas corpus to
the same court and claimed he could bring
up an appeal on writ of habeas corpus as
often as he could find new ground of ap-
plication. His own Judgment as a lawyer
was that no further legislation on the sub
iect was necessary, but the Judge before
whom the last application came up, hela
that he was compelled to grant an appeal 70

Adams, of Illinois. argued the resolution

Crisp of Georgia, said there was no ex-
press rule authorizing the discharge of the
committee, but this was in ordinary cases
Inc original resolution unquestionably was
question of the highest privilege. If the
committee refused to report the resolution
motion to discharge was privileged.
The speaker inquired whether the gen
tleman believed the original resolution was
one Of privilege.
Crisp replied he had assumed the speaker
had so held.
The speaker stated he had not. On the
contrary, in a somewhat similar case, she
ruled and the House sustained his ruling, -
that the resolution did not present CUES

Stewards New Finance Bill Amendment

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Senator Dawes
introduced o-day proposed amendment
to the apportionment bill, the purpose of
which is to increase the representation in
the House to $780, 1t gives Arkansas :
Congressman; Minnesota, s; Missouri, 16.
and New York, 3D.
During the debate on the finance bill to-
day Mr.. Stewart sent to the clerks desk
to have printed a proposition respecting
his free coinage amendment, which, he
said, might be offered if any one desired
TO DO so. This proposition, if adopted.
would take the place of the free coinage
bill down to certain point. 1t is the same
amendment, in substance, but has attached
proviso that all silver bullion not the pro
duct of mines and mills or smelters of the
United States, and all silver ore and bull
lion the product of other countries than the
United States shall, in the discretion of the
secretary of the treasury, be subject to a
mint charge, to be fixed from time to time
by him, said charge not to exceed the diff
ference between the market value of
said silver bullion in London at the
time it is deposited and the coinage
value thereof, the secretary to make
such regulations as may be necessary to
determine whether such bullion is the bro.
duct of the United States
This proposition will be held in reserve
until some agreement is reached respecting
its final disposition. 1t was drawn after
consultation among several Senators upon
the theory that it would receive the
support of some Republicans in the 81 n
ate and House who are favorably disposed
toward an effort to enlarge the use of
silver, but fear disaster as result of
unrestricted coinage. Senator Stewart
however, IS not committed to it in any
way, having simply offered it in order tn
get it in print for better examination.

Silver Purchases and Pension Disbursements

WASHINGTON, Jan l2.-Five hundred and
eighty three thousand eight hundred
ounces of silver were offered for sale to-
dap and 2S3, 500 purchased at prices ranging
from 0525 to 10y
Secretary Window is authority for the
statement that the growing treasury sur
plus cannot now be used for the purchase
of per cents. for the reason that it will be
needed to meet the pension payments due
for the month aggregating S25000,O3O The
available net cash surplus is $4,000, 600. but
by continued excess of receipts over ex-
penditures it will probably reach the re-
quired amount by the time Indicated. The
secretary is of the opinion that the bust
ness of the country will be improved bv
making these payments monthly instead of
quarterly, and he has made recommepda-
ton to that effect. If this is done, he saws it
will do away with the present necessity of
keeping large sum of money in the treas
ury vaults for three months when it might
just as well be in the hands of the people
entitled to it.

Rennrt of the Ballot Rnr committsp

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The report of the
ballot box committee, which last session
made an extensive investigation into Ohio
political affairs in connection with the al
legged subscriptions by members of Con
gress OF stock in patent ballot box, was
today presented to the House by Chair
man Mason. The main report, which Is
signed by ali the members of the commit
tee, finds that the alleged contract was pre-
pared by Richard G. Wood: that ali the
signatures thereto were forged, and that
Frank Willard and Frank Davis were
without evil intent in the transaction; that
Wood uttered said forgery for the purpose
OF procuring Governor Foraker's recon-
incubation of himself to the mayor of Gin
cinnaI for appointment to the office of
smoke inspector. The committee further
3lnds that Governor Foraker and Murat
Halstead uttered said forgery by publish
ing Ii in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
but finds that neither Foraker nor Hal
stead in uttering the forgery knew the
same was forgery.
The committee finds that no one of the
persons whose names appear On said al
legged contract had or has either
directly or indirectly any unlwful.
corrupt or improper or any other
connection with or interest IN the ballot
boxes, which are said to be the subject of
the alleged contract, and there never was
any other contract relating to said ballot
boxes in which either of these persons or
Jointly with others was in any way inter
ested.
The supplementary report is signed bv
al The members except Chairman Mason
II finds that the conduct of Wood during
his negotiations with Foraker disclosed
h q q -,1~ E1.,1;o
scrutiny of the face OF the forged paper
must have shown its false character and
the persons whose names were forged
should have suggested a yeriflcatiou of the
corrupt paper before it was uttered or pub
lshed, the publication showing Campbell's
name and suppressing the other signatures
was almost as bad as the original fabrica
ton OF the original paper. The entire
transaction, the members say, is an example
OF methods deserving the condemnation of
al parties and all good citizens
Chairman Mason, in the min Oritv report
does not agree with these additional find
ings He does not see that careful
scrutiny of the forged paper must have
shown its false character. 1t is easy now
TO know, in January of 1891, what ought
10 nave been known ii 1889. Whether or
not Foraker and Haistead treated well the
gentleman outraged by the forgery. by not
seeing them personally, is a question of
etnlcs not involved in the inves tigation.
Nor does 1t throw any light upon the sub
7ect as to who uttered any forgery. Being
deceived is the only o1fense of halstead and
Foraker. They have each made reputa-
ton aud character equal, perhaps, to any CT
the gentlemen who were outraged by the
forgery. Since they found they were de-
ceived they have done all in their power as
honorable men to make amends. To ask
more seems TO MIR. Mason an Injustice and
be respectfully protests against the censure
his associates in the additional findings of
summarized above.
