He Meets Benedict Arnold.

Talleyrand, in the Century, tells very
briefly his expulsion from England and
at the moment of setting out for America
gives a pitiful glimpse of Benedict Ar
mold:
Fortunately the danger we were run
ming was noticed on shore, and induced
some Falmouth lightermen to brave the
fury of the sea and come to our assist
ance. With their help we managed to
reach the harbor. Whilst our ship-all
the rigging of which was much damaged
was being repaired, rather striking
incident added an impression of special
kind to the many | was to experience in
the course of this voyage. The innkeeper
at whose place had my meals, informed
me that one of his dodgers was an Ameri-
can General. Thereupon l expressed a de-
sire of seeing that gentleman, and, shortly
after, was introduced. After the mutual
exchange of greetings, / put to him sew
eral questions concerning his country,
but from the first, it seemed to me that
my questions annoyed him. Having sew
eral times vainly endeavored to renew
the conversation, which he always al
lowed to drop. ventured to request from
him some letters to his frlends IN
America. NO." he replied, and after a
few moments of silence, noticing my
surprise. he added, 81 am perhaps
the only American who cannot give
YOU letters for his own country
all the relations / had there are now
broken-I must never return to the
States.n He dared not tell me his name.
1T was General Arnold. l must confess
that he excited my pity. for which politi-
cal Puritans will perhaps blame me; but
/ do not reproach myself, for was wit
ness of his agony.

Why don't they charge policemen on
the street cars ? Because they can't get a
nickel out of a copper.
What's the difference between mouse
and a young lady? One wishes to harm
the cheese, the other to charm the he's.
What is the difference between homi-
eide and pig sticking? One is assault with

They Died Sober.

Apropos of General Cutcheon's re-
marks on social drinking in Washing
ton, the General was led to tell the story
ofan army experience ofhis with whisky
1t was in the trenches before Petersburg.
As Colonel of the regiment he had pro-
hibited the sale of liquor save on doc
tors order, and in that case prohibition
prohibited. The Division Commander,
however, issued orders that ration of
whisky should be served to each man in
the trenches and the liquor for the
Twentieth was brought in two great iron
kettles. AS the men clustered around
with their tin cups some one cried out:
Boys, if Pm going to be shot to-day,
l want to die soberp'
The cry was taken up by the regiment.
The kettles were seized by willing hands
and the whisky was poured on the
ground. Fifty-two out of 10 of the brave
Michigan boys of the Twentieth were
shot that day and every one who died
died sober.

Several attempts have been made to es-
tablish the tack industry in the South, but
they have failed from difficulties in hand
ling the material. This branch of the
iron trade is in the hands of New Eng
land manufacturers, and is practically
confined to Massachusetts.

Dillon Gives Gould's Plans Away.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-[Special telegram to
The HERALD. The opinion is growing in
railway circles that the action of Jay Gould
in refusing to carry out the contract of the
Union Pacific railway with the Rock Island
and st. Paul roads, whereby the latter
were to have the joint use of the Union
Pacific's bridge across the Missouri river
between Council Bluffs and Omaha, will
be followed up with reputation of the
famed contract between the Union Pacific
and the Chicago 81 Northwestern. The
Tribune says; president Dillon, of the
Union Pacific, let the cat out of the bag
when he said that the contract between
the Union Pacific and the Rock Island and
st. Paul roads is invalid because the tri-
partlte agreement made between these
roads was still in effect. If this bars the
Union Pacific from making new contracts
with che Rock Island and ST. Paul roads.
it applies also to the contract with the
Chicago & Northwestern. 1t is the eyi
dent intention of Gould to refuse to recog-
nlze any Of the contracts made with any
Of the roads during President Adams
management of the Union Pacific. He
SAA41AS ~ nus ObO bulSC On LuS SdSISTn con-
nections of that road, and can compel them
to do whatever he chooses to demand of
them. The probability is, however, that
Gould will find that he has made mistake
in his calculations. The presidents of the
western roads have become thoroughly
aroused by the display of Gould's AFRO
G ance, and he will not find them so tract
able at the presidents meeting in New
York on January as he did at the last
meeting in Pierrepont Morgan's house.
Both Presidents Miller and Cable are de-
termined to enter into no agreement unless
Gould surrenders Internationally and
agrees to carry out their contract with the
Union Pacific. The Northwestern will
take an equally determined position, and
will not subscribe to Gould's scheme unless
its alliance with the Union Pacific is recog-
nized by him.

That is What Dillon Has Done in Regard tc
Gould'S Plans-Ths Western Roads
Will Fight

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-TSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD The silver Re
publicans are becoming more and more
restless and will hold conference between
now and Monday to decide upon an aggres
sive programme. If they are convinced
that the cloture rule will lead to a long
struggle, they may be able to dispose of it
at once by giving assurances to the Demo
cratic Senators that if vote is permitted
the rule will be defeated The finance
committee are openly Indifferent to the
new financial legislation. They know that
they cannot pass the bill which is on the
calendar unless the situation changes and
they do not care to risk the passage of any
other bill. The probability is that unless
action is forced by the silver men no at
tempt will be made to legisiate on the issue
Of bonds proposed in the bill OF the finance
committee, who command majority in the
Senate, unless the matter is made party
issue and there is growing disinclination
among conservative Senators as well as the
free coinage Democrats to help the silver
spectators by providing for the purchase
of the silver on their hands. There prom
ises to be some lively work, but no one can
tell at present just what the result of it
will be.

Additional Victims.

OMAHA, Dec 3f,-A Bee special from Pine
Ridge says: Lieutenant Colonel Krantz-
berg, Company A, Seventh cavalry, shot
at Wounded Knee, died last night. Several
others are in critical condition. The
Episcopal church is turned into hospital
and contains thirty eight wounded hos
tiles, most of them squaws, and the majority
will die. In addition to Carr's command,
the Seventeenth infantry and all the cav
airy at Rosebud will be here tonight. Gen
eral Miles will also come to-day.
When the Seventh ard Ninth cavalry
responded to he alarm from the mission
yesterday, they found it was not the mis-
sion on ire, but the day school, while on
this side in the vicinity were fully eigh-
teen hundred hostile bucks, but few of
whom showed themselves at the time. The
command feared an ambuscade, and as
they were greatly outnumbered, returned
to the agency after sharp skirmish. Six
soldiers were killed and several wounded.
A number of Indians were killed In the
evening a scout brought In word that the
hostiles, emboldened by the retiring
of the soldiers, had planned an at
tack to burn the agency with fire-arrows,
then stampede the troops and massacre the
inhabitants. The report was proven true
TO some extent, but heavy lines of pickets
frustrated and stopped the scheme.
A terrific blizzard struck the agency this
morning. The air is filled with binding
snow, and the mercury is falling fast.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-After disposing
Of little routine business the Senate re-
sumed consideration of Morgan's resolu-
ton relative to amendments to the election
bill, and discussed the point of order made
against it by Senator Sherman, which was
that the resolution was now on the calen-
dar and could not be taken up except by
unanimous consent. The Vice-President
sustained Sherman's point and Morgan ap-
pealed and proceeded to address the Senate
on his appeal.
The morning hour having expired before
Morgan had finished, the matter went over
without action.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of the election bill, with George on the
floor.
After considerable debate on the point
of order the matter went over without
action.
Henderson offered a resolution. which
was agreed to, directing the superintend-
ent OF the census, TO report at the earliest
possible moment the population of the
United States according to the census of
1890 by congressional districts and
counties.
The Senate then resumed consideration
Of the election bill and was addressed by
George in opposition to it.
At the conclusion of the speech Hawley
alluded to the shooting of Postmaster
Matthews in the Senator's (George's)
town. The shooting, he said, was in cold
blood and because the postmaster was a
Republican.
George said politics had nothing to do
with the shooting.
The Senate adjourned until Friday at
noon with the understanding that then a
further adjournment would take place till
Monday

AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.
Congressional Investigation of their Purchase
by Foreign Capitalists.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Senators Chand-
Ter, Hale and Power and Representative
Owen were the only members of the Joint
congressional committee on immigration
present this morning when the investiga-
ton into the purchase of American indus
tries by foreign capital was begun. c. A.
Plllsbury, the Minnesota miller, was the
hrst witness. He was examined at some
length. In responce to questions by Sena-
tor Chandler with reference to the sale of
the Pillsbury and Washburn mills and
milling properties, witness said the convey
ance was made to Carey q VVhittredge of
New Iork, representing a London COM
pany. The property sold included the c.
a. Plllsbury u Co. mills with nomi nal
capacity Of about ten thousand barrels
per day and the Washburn company's mills
with a nominal capacity of about three thou
sand barrels. The mills at Minneapolis and
Anoka, Minnesota, had total nominal
capacity OF about fourteen thousand bar
rels. The actual working capacity was
about twelve thousand barrels day. of
the value OF about $4,000. In connection
with these mills there were sold about one
hundred and thirty elevators belonging to
the Minneapolis Elevator company and
lying along the line of the Great Northern
railroad; the Minneapolis Mill company
and the st. Anthony Water Power com
pany, owning water rights and stock in the
small Atlantic Elevator company near St.
Mary river. The total consideration was
about S, GOO 900 and in this amount was in
Guided 81. 100000 cash left by the sellers in
the business for working capital. Differ
ent terms were made with each of the
parties interested in the concerns sold
The Pillsbury mills and elevator
brought about 100000 of which the Pills
burys took S6O0,000 in stock and $500, 600 de-
bentures of the company formed by the
syndicate. The balance was in cash. The
syndicate company issued S5,OO0,OOO in
stock and $1,000, coo in debentures, each
share representing so. Among the
American stockholders were Morton, Bliss
4 Co He thought the largest part of the
stock was owned in England Pillsbury
said that under the terms of the sale he
agreed to manage the properties for five
years, though he supposed his services
could be dispensed with earlier
Witness employs seven or eight hundred
men and his pay roll averaged $3.50 a day
per man, which was increased to $3.17 by
the voluntary distribution of profits by
the firm. About half the employees were
native-born and the other half were
foreign-born including Irish, Scandinav-
ians and Germans. He had no policy with
respect to the nationality of his men, en-
ploylng the best that could be had.

TIE HOSTILE INDIANS
ALI the Able-bodied Bucks Have
Left the Agency.
RED CLOUD AND LESSER CHIEFS
Have Joined the Hostiies for Last Grand
Struggle-An Attempt to Ambuscade
Forsyth.

OMAHA, Dec. 31.-A Bee special from
Rushville says: A binding snow storm,
which is fast assuming the proportions of
blizzard, has been raging here and at the
agency since 9 o'clock this morning. Ad-
vices are that desultory fight was kept up
nearly all night at the battle ground within
few miles of the agency, until by reason
of the suspicious actions of the alleged
friendly Indians in camp near the agency
the troops were called in from the field.
The question ON every hand is, what has
become of the supposedly large number of
friendly bucks located south of the agency
until yesterdays A half courier who
was through that camp last night reports
nearly every able bodied Indian in this out
fit had quietly slipped away after dusk and
joined the hostile forces The friendly In
dams at Pine Ridge now, he says, are prin-'
cipally squaws and those not able to fight
Up to II O'clock this morning, however,
everything was reported as quiet, both
sides resting on their arms and each
awaiting some move from the opposing
forces. That further desperate nghting
will occur there seems no doubt. If the
Indians should make an onslaught during
this storm they would undoubtedly have a
great advantage as they are in their ele-
ment at such times. The danger is that
the Indians will now break away to the
strongholds in the bad lands and will be
reinforced by Rosebud, Standing Rock and
other Indians. Eight more dead soldiers
were brought 60 the agency after dark last
night, being part of yesterdays fatalities.
The losses to the Indians are known to
have been great, but the definite number
not yet ascertained. Two strangers,
found murdered within two miles of the
agency, are now believed to be teamsters
from Nashville. Indian signal lights were
again visible last night in the rough coun-
try twenty miles north. 1t has been re
peatedly suggested here that in the event
of further hostilities part of tie state
militia might be used to good advantage IN
the small towns nearest the reservation to
guard against struggling bands inasmuch
as in general fight the regular troops
would undoubtedly have all they could take
care of at the seat of war

Catholic mission building had been fred
by the hos.iles and the inmates are being
mastered. The weary cavalry men were
at once IN their saddles again and
started for the scene. They found
1t was the school-house which
was fired and not the mission building,
which is mile away. There were over
eighteen hundred bucks in the VIZ
clnity when the troops came up,
but few would show themselves at
the time their intention evidently being
TO draw the troops on. Colonel
Forsyth suspected a trap was laid,
and being greatly outnumbered, began
retreat Then the Indians started an
attempt to surround his force of the
Seventh cavalry and had almost completed
cordan, when the Ninth cavalry came up
from the agency and caused the Indians 80
retire. The combined forces of cavalry
were, however, still greatly over
whelmed and retired to the agency
after a sharp skirmish, in which
several were wounded and it is believed
some Indians killed. Trouble is looked for
tomorrow when it is thought Colonel
Carr's command, returning from the bad
lands may meet the Indians
