Frozen TO Death In the Snow.

MEDICINE LODGE, Kan, Jan 1.-Two
brothers named Bell, aged 22 and g
years and n sister 10 years old, attended
a meeting here on "Wednesday night,
and blizzard arose as they started home
at 10 O'Clock. When 200 wards from
their home the elder brother remarked
that they could not make the distance
against the storm and would have to go
with the wind. They drifted south
about a quarter of a mile and took re-
fuge in a canyon, where they were soon
covered by snow. On Thursday morn
the elder brother crawled out of the
snow and attempted to get home. He
called out to his sister that he WAS so
stiff he could not travel, and in a short
time was frozen. The younger brother
was also frozen to death under the drift
The parents started out on Thursday
morning to find their children, and in a
short time search parties were organized.
Friday morning the body of the young
man was found, and then the searchers
found the girl, who was concealed be-
meath the drift. They had been out
thirty-six hours. The girl did not
know her brothers were dead. She is in
a fair way to recover.

Commissioning War Ships.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 5,-Comment
is aroused among navy officers over the
series of orders emanating from the
Navy Department within the past few
weeks directing the commissioning of
war ships at San Francisco and the or
dering of various other cruisers to Pacific
waters. Under present orders no less
then eleven was ships and five revenue
cutters will soon be the commission in
the Pacific and ready for duty.
If, in addition, the rumored charter
ing and arming of seven steamers for
revenue cutter duty in the Behring Sea
proves correct, the U. s navy force will
number twenty-three ships against the
five British gunboats and one armored
vessel ut present protecting Great Bri-
tain's interests in the North Pacific
This will increase the above force by still
another vessel. 1t is calculated that ten
war ships are now in position for mobii-
Zation at San Francisco inside of forty
days. Six war ships are ready for imme-
diate work.
In view of the present Behring Sea
controversy and the rumored chartering
of seven steamers for revenue cutter duty,
the above disposition is deemed ominouS.
As the fishing season does not begin ear
lier than May, the concentration of war
ships can be affected before the revenue
cutters are ready to proceed to the Beh-
ring Sea. 1t is believed that the whole
u. ). force in the Pacific will then con-
centrate off Port Townsend.

Some GOOD Indians.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 1.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs has, in response
to a telegram sent to Agent Boyer ut the
Pine Ridge agency, inquiring as to
whether any of the Indian scouts or
police haye joined the hostiles, received
the following reply from the agency,
dated the Sd:
"None of our enlisted scouts have
joined hostiles. Captain Seward gave
three permisson to go to the hostiles'
camp after their families, who have not
yet returned. Police and scouts are
rendering good service, and by their Wig
Orous firing prevented the hostiles from
burning agen cy buildings."
A reporter tonight called the atten-
ton of the commissioner to reports from
Pine Ridge saying that General Miles
had recommended the removal of the
Indian agents at Pine Ridge and other
places, and to the statement that the
Indians were slowly starving to death.
The commissioner said that so far as the
agents were concerned there were no
evidence that there had been dishonesty
on their part in distributing supplies.
He said he was preparing for publication
a full statement of the amount of sup
plies voted by Congress and distribution
to Indians. The commissioner has sub
mitted to the President statement COW
ering the question of the charge made
that the agreements with the Indians
have not been fulfilled.

Sixty Miners Killed.

VIENNA, Jan. 5.-A terrible explosion
occurred last Saturday in the coal mine
at Ostrau. Up to to-day 60 bodies of
victims have been recovered, and there
are believed to be more in the pit
The bodies of the unfortunate miners
which have been recovered present hor-
rible appearance. They are terribly
scorched and 50 dreadfully mutilated
that it is very difficult to identify them
from their features. Seventeen of the
men who were recovered in an uncon-
ciOus condition have since been revived
Heartrending scenes are witnessed at the
mouth of the pit as the rescuing parties
continue to bring the mangled forms of
the Inflated miners to the surface
Most of the victims of the explosion
were married and were men of family,
and the lamentations of their bereaved
relatives, who have crowded about the
fatal spot, are pitiful in the extreme.
Count Willzek, the owner of the pit, at
tended the funeral Of the unfortunates
who were buried to-day

The Force Bill Guried.

By a vote of thirtyfour to twentynine
the Force election bill was decently bur-
led out of sight yesterday (Monday). Ii
had been dead for some time. Seven
Republican Senators-Jones and Stewart
of Nevada; Teller and Wolcott, of Colo
orado; Washburn, of Minnesota; Shoup,
of Idaho and Stanford, of California
voted with twenty-seyen Democrats to
consign it to its grave by taking up the
silver bill in its stead. There is not the
remotest chance of its resurrection, the
decisive vote by which it was laid aside
denoting that a majority of the Senators
are tired of it, and want no more of it,
either now or hearafter.
As the vote was not directly for or
against the bill Quay and Cameron, of
this State, who are both opposed to it at
heart, preserved their Republican records
by voting against the motion to lay it
aside, putting the onuS of the defeat of
the measure in this indirect way upon
the Senators from the silver and other
Western States, whose constituents will
overwhelmingly sustain them in voting
with the Democrats to lay aside the
only bill that was obstructing the legis-
latlon in which they were most interest
ed.
Whatever the motives that actuated
the majority the public is TO be congrat-
ulated that the Force bill no longer
blocks the legislation that is necessary to
carry on the ordinary business of the
government. The appropriation bill
can now he passed, If nothing more,
without calling an extra session of Con-
greSs.-IIhiid. Times.

Fight Near Pine Ridge.

| CHICAGO, Jan. 5. Dispatches from
points in northern Nebraska state that
free battle was fought to-day between
the soldiers under General Miles and the
hostile Sioux. 1t is reported that both
sides suffered heavy loss, and that Gen
neral Miles himself fell early in the
fight.
The story of battle on Sunday in
which General Miles was killed seems to
have originated in St. Paul, Mimi, and
is disproved by telegram which Gen
eral Miles sent to Gen eral Schofield this
, morning.
Officers at Army Headquarters here
are inclined to believe that the announce
! ment of to-day's combat is equally un-
/ trustworthy.
Sensational rumors of all kinds have
worked the people who live within a
hundred miles of the seat of war into a
frenzy of terror, and all the militia in
Northern Nebraska and Southeastern
South Dakota is under arms.
1t is generally believed that the United
States troops have long and ardous
campaign before them, and that the red
skins will commit many serious depreda-
tions before they are brought TO terms.
RUsHvILIE, Neb., Jan. 5.-A dispatch
has just been received here from the
Pine Ridge Agency announcing that a
great battle is in progress there between
the troops and the hostile Indians. The
information is that General Miles cav
airy encountered the Indians Mt an early
hour this morning n short distance
from the agency. \ desperate battle
ensued, and hundreds of savages were
killed, while the loss to the troops was
also very heavy.
General Miles himself is reported to
have been killed early in the fight The
soldiers were driven into the agency,
which was then surrounded by the In
dians. The troops have been sent TO the
rescue, and the result is awaited with
the most intense anxiety. The greatest
excitement prevails, and il is feared that
another Custer massacre will go on re-
cord.
The apprehension concerning the fate
of the soldiers increase rs time passes
without further information concerning
the battle, it being feared that all sorces
of communicating are cut off, and that
the Indians are in possession of the
agency.
The Indians are reported to have
fought like demons, numbering and
scalping all the wounded soldiers whom
they encountered. 1t is supposed that
the cavalry were inveigled into an am
bush, and that the Indians obtained an
advantage in this way.

Snow Two Miles Deep.

''Yes ! have been in n country where
the snow is two miles deep" said y. b.
Lazard, a mining expert from Tombstone,
Arr, at the Palmer House yesterday.
Mr.. Lazard was in the East during the
recent snow-storm, and was talking
about what the people in Pennsylvania
called a blizzard. They thought the
two-foOt fall Of snow was something to
talk about" continued the visitor
but if they would visit Alaska about
two hundred miles up the Yucon river
they would find snow that for miles is SO
thick that the banks almost reach the
skies. If it keeps on accumulating as
fast as ii has during the past ten years
scientific men will not be able to say
truthfully the earth is round. / was in
Alaska in 1885, and that year the snow
fall was quite heavy. Snow that falls

A Legislator Held for Murder.

GUTHRIE, Okla, January 81. n.
Terrill, a Representative from Payne
county in the Legislature which has
Just adjourned, and who put through the
criminal code, yesterday shot and in
stantly killed George w. Embree.
Terrill went to the United States Land
Office few days ago to make final proof
on his quarter section in Payne county,
twenty miles northeast of here. Embree:
who lived four miles from the claim, in
troduced evidence which tended to dis
credit Terrills right as hOmesteader.
Embree's evidence was all in yes terday
and he had sworn to it. As he was
leaving the Land Office Terrill and his
brother met him at the door. Hot
words were exchanged and /. n. Terriil
drew revolver and fired five bullets
into Embree's body, while the other
Terrill pinioned his arms. Any one OF
the five wounds would have produced
death.
Both Terrills are now at the United
States military camp heavily guarded
by troops.
