fine young chief, a member OF the Taylor
scouts. He said some had come TO the
agency to make trouble and had killed
friendly Indians. That had caused the
soldiers to be sent against them and
made Gen. Miles command them To lay
down their arms. He hoped all OF them
would comply with the order because II
would bring peace again. A short time
ago he had brought TO White Hat(Lieut.
Taylor good many OF Sitting Bulls
men. They were now In camp. They
had been well treated and their ponies
fed with grain and hay. II Big Foot
and his band had come In they would
have been treated In the same manner.
The trouble which came 10 him was
brought on by his own people.
DIR. McGilliCuddy then gave tho In
dians n talk in which he pointed out 10
them the errors they had made. He sd-
ylsed them to obey the regulations In
the future.
Lieut.. Taylor was asked by the In
dians to speak. He said ho new very
many ORalallas and was satisfied they
were friendly. He did not know the
Brules so well, but felt that there were
many good men among them. The
trouble they had experienced had been
Occasioned by variety of circum-
stances. In the greater part of the In
dian troubles he had observed that the
Indians had always good excuse, and
he thought they had some excuse In this
instance. The trouble was now over,
and II they wished TO remain In peace
all they had to do was to COM
ply with the orders Of Gen. Miles
Those who had good sense should
set the example TO and control the
young men. They had turned la very
fow guns, and everyone knew they had
many more. The great spirit had 20 far
this winter given extraordinary good
weather. If blizzard should now come
up their children and women would die
and they and the soldiers would suffer
He hoped they would Immediately com
ply with Gen. Miles order, 80 the SOL
dlers could soon go home. II they did
some Of the chiefs would be taken TO
Washington 10 state their grievances 10
the great father. Their rights would be
recognized by the presiding officers over
them.
The council closed In the best possible
huEor, the Brules having listened In
tently. Good results are expected from
the council.
Up to this evening the Indians have
turned over fifty-One guns, out of about
/ 400 they are believed 10 possess.
Standing Elk's and Little Chiefs bands
OF Cheyennes left here to-day for Tongue
river agency, distance of about 400
miles. They are accompanied by Capt.
Ewers, whose duty, among other things,
will be to satisfy the settlers along the
route that the Indians are peaceable,
aud that no danger need be apprehended.
The transfer Is made In pursuance OF an
ago by Gen. Miles and other Cheyenns

the election of the committee, which for
three days has been sitting more than
half the time The committee has voted
TO report adversely the Davidson county
case, but while In the Douglass county
case the testimony has been read and
the arguments heard, the combina alton
thought they fear some OF the indcpend-
ents will kick over the traces and oppose
the motion 10 unscat the republican
member, This morning the elections
committee reached the Lawrence county
cases, involving five independent aud one
republican contestants. II took two
men 30 carry the papers, and the COM
mittee cannot well hear the evidence be-
fore the time for the senatorial struggle
begins. Senatorial matters are
still mixed and less noticeable,
however, that the republican man
ayers are becoming more san
guine Senator Moody, who at
first kept in semi-seclusion, now
circuates and talks freely and 10 appar-
emily making friends, II not votes. The
Independents held conference last
night, and It wGs decided 10 make no
caucus nomination at first, but 10 let the
Independent votes go as the members
prefer. The man who thus appears the
strongest is To get the solid support Of
the Independents. At which point the In
dependents and democrats will combine
Is not yet decided, and II is announced
that all parties viii hold caucus tonight
to perfect their plans,
The Warrants and Bonds.
McCormack's resolution 10 investigate
.shs sale ana delivery of Warrants and
bonds attracts much attention. The
point of 1t all is TO save the state from
paying interest on warrants and refund
ing bonds for the same obligation, lOH
per cent In all, and also from the
possibility of paying the prin-
cipal on both. 1t Is held that the
warrants ought to have been
taken up long ago. The governor re-
fuses TO allow an interview on affairs
from July 10 January, amounting to
g., 100 But the shape of things now Is
that for two months at least double In
tcrest, amounting to 5000 monthly, must
bo paid to Treasurer Bailey, and that
the negotiation bonds, with interest,
should be paid.

Had 1t Not Been for His Daring
Many Vessels Would Have
Gone to Pieces.
How Lighthouses, on the Florida
Reefs Were Recently Sup
piled With Oil.
Claus Spreekels Discovered in the
Act of Attempting to Defraud
the Government

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. i7.--SeverAl OF
the great lights on the Florida reefs
have recently had narrow escapes from
running out of oil. Owing to the high
''northers" la the gulf, of late, the gov
ernment lighthouse steamer Laurel has
been unable to visit Key West for over a
fortnight, During the past week news
has reached this city that the Florida
reef lighthouses were getting out OF oil.
The very chance of such an event is
enough To fr.ghtep any one accustomed
10 navigate the Florida reefs. In all,
some eight first order lights stand senti-
mel along the whole chain of reef, com
mencing at Foyer rock and ending at
Dry TOrtugas. Should these lights fail
to be burning, the reefs would be dis
covered only when the vessel was high
on the rocks aud dashing To pieces.
The news ofEthe condition Of the
Florida reef lights no sooner reached
Key West than Capt. Thomas >. Smyth,
commander of the revenue cutter Me-
Lane, volunteered To go through the
storm TO the relief OF the lighthouses. IL
was blowing a gale Of wind In the reefs
when the steamer left, bat the McLane
was out on a message OF death. Away
she few as perhaps she never few before
In her lifetime. The boat groaned, but
she wcathered the storm, and finally
reached SOmbrero Head. The first cut
ter was finally got In readiness, forty
gallons OF oil placed In the bottom of the
boat, and crew In charge of Lieut.
Uberroth, with life preseryers on,
stood ready to pull away the
moment the steamer stopped. Between
the, lighthouse aud the MCLane a heavy
sea was running Nothing daunted,
however, the cutter was lowered 10 the
water, and made q dash at the surf.
With a cry OF horror all on board saw
the boat and her crew disappear, but
only for an instant, for there she was
again, outside the surf, bat full Of water
Her men were overheard, hanging onto
the gunwales and bailing out. In few
minutes UbeFroth was at IL again, steer
ing with q long oar over the stern. "A
second time the cutter was thrown back,
but I'm the third attempt she was carried
over the shoal on top OF huge white
eomber, amid the cheers OF the men on
the McLane,
The cutter made directly for the light
house The wind was bowling and the
seas running so high that no one away
up In the iron structure heard the cries
of the men In the boat Awaiting his
chance, Uberrpth jumped at one OF the
girders of the staircase, lowered tackle,
and In few moments had forty gallons
OF oil out of the boat, To say that the
McLanos boat was a godsend, Is putting
1t mildly. 1t perhaps saved more than
one ship from going 90 pieces on the
night OF the 9Th, on, Sombrero reef
Uberroth succeeded In reaching the Nc
Lane, meeting less trouble In the surf on
the way back.

GOODBYE To-THE SALT TRUST
II VIII Go Out OF Existrnce March 3I-A
Decline Predicted.

SAGINAW. Mich, Jan. l7.~-At the
annual meeting OF the Michigan Salt
association held here yesterday, a bomb
shell was exploded In the form Of q reso-
luton to the effect that the organization
shall cease to exist March 81. Stranger
SIN the resolution was almost unani-
mously adopted. The cause Il said TO be
that ewing to the competition In the
salt manufacturing business through
out the country aud the extent OF
production, the association iu order
10 market the product has been
forced 60 sell large quantities Ia certain
territory Mt less than the actual cost OF
ahe manufactured product, depending
upon the better markets 10 make up the
price. It was the talk among manu-
facturers last evening that a stock eCm-
pany would doubtless be formed TO buy
and sell the salt product. II Is also un-
derstood that similar company viii be
formed by Manistee manufacturers
The manufacturers members of the
association made 2, SD, 600 barrels last
year, and the sales were 2, ,77l, ,252 bar
rcls, Of which amount Chicago
received, l,2O6, 6I9 barrels. The Mich
lRan Salt association was organ

the entire existence OF the association

that have resulted from the organiza-
tion. The action taken promises

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
An Old German Farm = Found Win ai.
Neck Broken.

MARsEIILRs, Ill, ina, 1.-THE mys-
Fiery surrounding the death OF Sam
Swartz, found by the tax collector Of
Grand Rapids township Tuesday after
noon, waA not cleared up by the curoner's
inquest. lie was found lying on the
floor aud against the stove, his body
doubled up and his neck broken, with a
dipper I'm has hand. His body was rigid
aud he had been dead for several days
The dead man and his brother were
Germans, both bachelors, 30 To 30 years
old, Who owned a farm and lived to-
getber without any help. They thought
a great deal OF each other, and when
In liquor would imagine they were sold
iers or Indians, aud would fight and shoot
at each other, apparently I'm earnest but
never with any serious results. A few
years ago they burned one OF their out
buildings during one OF their sprees.
The surviving brother, when found, had
his head done up Ia towel aud his face
was BADLY blistered He explained this
by saying tlTat a Mr.. RugE, Of Ottawa,
called there one day last week and told
him To use hot water for neuralgia.
which he had done and blistered his
face. When asked why he did not In
form some one that his brother was dead
he replied that Monday morning,
when he found him tying on the floor,
he thought he was playing dead, as he
had done so before; that he had built a
fire In the stove, which had burned his
brothers shoulder, but that Tuesday
morning, when he found him still there,
he knew he was not playing dead; that
he had then gone 10 a neighbor's and
told them to get ready for funeral
Nothing further than he will tell can be
known about the affair and he Is sup
posed to be cTazed IL Is supposed that
they were having one OF their imaginary
scrimmages with Indians and the result
was fatal 10 one OF them and has proba-
bly, wrecked the mind Of the other. The
neighbors say that when sober they were
harmless, but when. drunk they were
constantly in fea. that tha brothers
would burn property or inJure some one.

NO OATMEAL TRUST.
The Recent Conference Between MiIIsrs
Comes to NRuEht.

CHICAGO, Jan. l7.-There will be no
oatmeal trust for some time to come at
least. All efforts TO form one have been
abandoned, for the present, with little
probability that any agreement between
the parties can be arrived at In the fu-
ture. After two days OF discussion and
consideration the persons Interested were
forced To abandon tho project. Wednes-
day night they unanimously agreed to
disagree.
Those who had convened To combine
were tho following: Robert Stuart,
George Il. Douglas aud Walter ID. Doug
las, OF the Cereal Milling company of this
city; +. Schumacher and Messrs. Barber
and Grouse, Of the Schumacher Milling
company, Akron, o.; S. COIdTen, OF the
Iowa City Oatmeal company, Iowa City,
Ia; ii. Z. Crowell, OF the Quaker Mills
company, Ravenna, o.; +. C. King, OF
the Rockford Milling company, Rock
ford, H., aud Mr.. Howard, OF the How
ard Oatmeal company, Akron, o.
The project contemplated was the puT
chase of the several companies repre-
sented by them, aud the creation Of
new company 70 embrace oil. The
originator OF the project was the Schu-
macher company OF Akron, and II was
pushed until the meeting was obtained.
"YOuT plan seems 10 be similar TO that
of the defunctl American Harvester com
pany; did you fail to agree because of
like legal obstacles?"
No" replied Mr.. Robert Stuart
Although we had not gone far enough
In organization TO employ counsel, we
had no reason 70 think there were any
legal obstacles In our way. Differences
about the valuation OF our respective
properties and plants were chiefly the
rock We split upon. Most OF those pres
ent thought the valuation OF their own
plants too low In comparison tn the
claims Of others.
What was 10 be- the capital Of the
new plant, had 1t been fOrmed?"
Tho proposition was ~ capitalize Il
at IS, 600, 900.
How was the new, combine TO differ
from the last one?"
'sTha agreement entered into three
years ago and which ended last May was
simply pooling arrangement and did
not merge the separate mills into ono
company or organization. The purpose
behind the new company was 10 lower
the cost OF the manufacture OF meal and
10. curtail many expenses now anayoidA-
BILE"
Amy intention 10 increase prices?'
None whatever"
s'Will there be- any further attempt 10
organize the company"
"There may be, but the probability Is
that IL will not bc soon. For myself"
added Mr.. Stuart, ''I have no faith IN
tho realization Of the scheme unless
some parties modify thelr claims"
This proposed company was only 10
embrace few mills Ia the eountry?n
"Well, there are forty or fifty other
small oatmeal mills In the country
which were not taken into considerH-
tion."
Nearly all OF tho millers from abroad
have gone home and with q leeling that
the combine would not be formed In time
20 make even q small dish OF porrldge
for the babies and dyspeptlcs OF the
coming generation.

PINE RIDGE, Jan. 1.-THE council
between the friendly and the hostile In
dians, has tended To qniet the anxiety OF
many white people and to assure the In
dians that their fear OF being massaaEed

Everybody to-day seems TO feel that the
trouble has been brought to a close. Up
TO noon to-day seventy y-one guns were
turned In by thexhOstiles. More weapons
are expected by Tomorrow. To-day the
order was issued directing the Seventh
infantry 10 return to its post at Fort
Logan, Denver. ROdney's battery has

has also been decided that the Sixth
cavalry, comprising nine troops, about
five hundred men, hereafter will be To-
Gated In the department OF the Platte,

cavalry force at Fort Robinson will also
be- increased, and it Is expected that the
new order Of affairs will tend To re-
habitate Fort Mckinney, at which there
now are only two troops of cavalry, thus

AFTER the ROCK ISLAND.
Iowa People CompIaIn tn at n Furnishes
Insufficient AccomEn od ations.

AAAuMtGleuA
DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. Tl.--A number
OF people representing different towns
along the line nf the Chicago, Rock Isl
and e Pacific In Iowa and several
travelling men appeared as witnesses in
a hearing before the railroad commits
sloners yesterday on the complaint of
NJ. Carroll, OF Tiiiin, against the Rock
Island OF inadequate passenger service.
Some time ago the commissioners de-
cIded that when freight trains carried
passengers they should be stopped at a
safe and convenient point for
the passengers TO alight. This de-
cislon was interpreted by the Rock
Island officials TO mean that the cabOoSes
of such trains should be stopped at depot
platforms. Rather than do this with
every train the road ceased carving
passengers on large number OF freight
trains. About the same time day
passenger train east aud another west
I'm Iowa. known as Nos. aud 10, were
taken of. This reduction of passenger
service, according 10 the testimony heard
to-day, renders Il impossible for people
living In the smaller towns to visit
neighboring cities and county seats and
return the same day, and detains
commercial travellers, many OF
them claim, so that they cannot
afford 10 cover the territory, A.
n. Cummings represented tho road and
denied the authority Of tha board to or
