LINCOLN Neb., Jan. IA dispatch to
the State Journal from Pine Ridge says
The second infantry has received orders
to pack their effects and be ready to
move. 1t is rumored that General
Brooke has been relieved of his COM
mand and ordered home, and General
Miles will take command in person and
conduct all operations in the future.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. IA Bee Pine
Ridge special Bays: General Miles has
assumed command Of the forces, reliev-
ing General Brooke, who started this
morning into the field with the second
infantry, going by way of Oelrichs, a
point about sixteen miles north of here.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Secretary OF
War Proctor was interviewed tonight
regarding the rumor from the Indian
agency at Pine Ridge that General
Brooke had been relieved. The secre-
tary said he knew nothing about it, and
did not credit the report. From what
could be learned from other sources,
there appears little reason for believing
the report to have any substantial foun-
dation.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. l. - Governor
Taylor sent telegraphic instructions to
the commander OF the state militia. at
Long Fine, to move at once tn Chadron,
the scene of the threatened Indian
outbreak. Orders were also given to the
commanders at Fremont, Central City

any time.

Senator FarweN Denies That He was
Ever In II.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The recently pub
lished story regarding an alleged silver
pool mentioned the name of Senator
Farwell in connection with it. In an
interview today, Farwell says he never
bought dollars worth OF silver previous
to the silver legislation of last summer.
While he has been told that others were
endeavoring to make something out of
the anticipated fluctnation in the price,
he steered clear of it. He knew,
of course, that the price would
60 up, and when some friends in London
cabled for his views, he answered 10 the
best of his knowledge. He received no
profit directly or indirectly through the
speculations of his friends. Regarding
the silver pool, he said he had been in
formed pool did exist, butsthis did not
come to him until long after the silver
legislation. There was nothing ex-
pressed concerning the pool while the
matter was before congress. The sena-
tor denied fatty that he was in any way
concerned in the Bateman failures, or
that he had speculated in silver.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 1.-The announce
ment was made here today that a deal
signifying much to the live stock inter-

is known only to the parties interested.
1t leaked out, however, that the move

OF East st. Louis, by the Chicago ''Big

mond OF Baltimore coming in for share
in the amalgamation. Armour and

city last Saturday. John M. Glasmere,
who handles the meats of Hammond, de-
clares that he knows nothing respecting
the object of the packers meeting. He
said it meant the consolidation OF the two

idea that this meeting was called to

viving members of the fated
company X looked lonesome enough
with their fearfully thinned ranks. The
vacancy, 80 striking in contrast to the
re st OF the column, caused tears to start
IN the eyes OF many comrade. After
the reading OF the burial service by Rev.
Mr.. Cook, the Episcopalian clergyman
here, the bodies were lowered into the
grave. Owing to the intensely critical
condition Of the surroundings, with the
enemy focking about the agency, threat
ening an attack, the usual salute of
guns was omitted, while soft notes from
the bugle and the wall of the storm
whispered last good bye. The remains
OF Captain Wallace will be sent to Fort
Riley. The body OF Captain Mills, who
died from rheumatism of the heart, will
be sent to Omaha.

A Vigorous Campaign Against tn. Hos
tiles Begun.
OMAHA, Jan. 1.-The Bee has the fol-
lowing from it's staff correspondent:
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. d., Jan. /, via
Rushville. General Brooke and staff,
together with eight companies of the
Second infantry, and all of the
Ninth cavalry that has, been here,
started into the field this morning.
via the Oelrich' s road, to Beaver creek,
eighteen miles almost due west of this
agency. From there they will swing
out into as long q line as prac-
ticahie, thus forming the wcstern
part OF the northern side of hollow
square, which it now seems it has been
decided to form about the hostiles.
A scout came in this morning and re-
ported the main body of hostiles had
moved back twelve miles from the
agency, and towards the Ba6Lands, on
the north. Another arrived this after
noon and reported the reds indulging in
a wild dance only eight miles from here.
A party of Indian scouts today visited
the scene of Mondays battle, and found
nine Indians who were wounded in the
fight, still alive. Two of them had been
taken to q log hut near by, and were
being cared for by squaws that mad re-
manned behind. The other seven were
found lying in the mud.
Two of those found were bucks, and
five eQuaws. The scouts brought them
in, and they are now in the hospital. In
addition to the adults, two tiny Indian
babies, neither of them over three
months old, were found alive, each be.
side the dead body of its mother. They
were well wrapped up, but how they ever
survived the fearful weather of the last
forty eight hours is miracle. OF thirty
five wounded Indians brought in after
the battle, nearly all OF whom were
equaws and children, not one has yet
died, though many Of them are badly
mangled with bullets. The rear-guard
OF the party of charity-doing scouts
that went on their search for wounded
Indians, were forced to exchange several
shots with some rowing hostiles after
the late battle. Indian scouts went
oyer the field and picked up all thspdis-
abled hostiles they could find before the
troops were compelled to hurry here and
protect the agency. /
The snOwstorm that has been raging
for twenty-f0urs has ceased. The
weather is warmer, and, as result, the
vigilant outlook for a surprise by the
hostiles, which was allowed to lapse
during the war of the elements, has
been resumed. None of the woun ded
soldiers are any worse tonight, and most
OF them seem a little better

NEW YEARS CALLS.
THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION AT
TIE WHITE HOUSE.
It Was q Brilliant Affair Despite the En-
clement NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of Other
Public OfRcials.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The weather
was very disagreeable today, and the
streets were filled with slush. The
presidents reception was of course the
social feature of the day, and the white
house was never more prettily decorated.
The reception began at IL O'Clock. Vice
President Morton and Mrs. Morton, and
all the members of the cabinet, with the
Ladies' of their famfiies, excepting Mrs.
Blaine, had previously joined President
and Mrs. Harrison, and followed them
down stairs to the reception rooms. The
members of the diplomatic corps were
first received. All wore fun court cos
tunes, which in several instances were
of most gorgeous description. They
were presented by Secretary Blaine and
Assistant Secretary Wharton. The
italian minister, Baron Fauua, dean of
the corps, headed the line. Following
came the members OF the international
monetary conference and international
railway conference. The Justices of the
supreme court, the judges of the court
OF claims and the district judiciary
followed. Senators and representatives
next filed in, and were succeeded by
army and navy officers in full uniform.
After them came long line of minor
officials, Grand Army veterans and
Mexican veterans. The general public
reception began at 1915, but the disa-
greeable weather and the difficulty of
pedestrianism made the attendance
rather light The other official recep.
tions were well attended. Most of the
people who visited the white house
called on the vice-president and MEM
bers of the cabinet, all except Secretary
Tracy keeping open house. Secretary
Blaine gave the diplomatic corps a
breakfast Immediately after the recep-
ton at the white house, and afterwards
received the public. Miss Blaine assist
ed him. s xaY

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. Eight COM

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-At 3 80 this (Fri-
