AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.
Emma Abbott's Reception in a Charles
ton Church.

ASAAAAAA0 ADDOtts ANeceptlOu IN q Cn3rIeS-
ton Church.
The announcement that the late Emma Alb
bott had bequeathed 5000 to the Citadel
Square Baptist Church of Charleston. SC, re-
calls an incident which transpired in that sane
tuary one Sunday in February, 1888, while she
was playing weeks engagement in that city.
On the day referred to a neatly and plainly
dressed woman, accompanied by gentleman,
entered the church. No one noticed the pres
ence of the plainly attired stranger untila hymn
was announced. Then there was heard q voice
which could not be mistaken. The birdlike
notes scared far above the voices of the con-
gregation-far above the deep tones of the Or
gan-and flooded the church with the sweetest
melody. Those in the congregation who had
been singing paused and listened with delight
In few moments the services ended, but the
worshipers did not depart. The rumor was
quickly circulated that Emma Abbott was in
the church, and in q few moments the diva was
surrounded by q crowd of ladies and gentle
men. who effectually barred her exit. The
singer held a reception of kind probably
never before granted to woman on the stage.
She was about to retire, but those present
asked if she would not sing hymn for their
benefit. She readily assented, and on being
conducted to the choir loft sang to an accom-
paniment on the organ Nearer, My G cd, To
Thee"

Gen. Miles Regards the Indian Outbreak us
Ended.

The Indians at Pine Ridge agency we're
morose and gloomy yesterday. Each of the
| commanders was shortly expected to be
| relieved. and considerable interest was dis
played to ascertain which of them would
remain the ground during the winter
There was some talk of the seventeenth
| infantry Of Fort Russell changing post with
the first regiment at San Francisco, but nothing
official could be learned regarding it. The
sixteenth infantry of Fort Douglass and the
twenty-irst infantry Of Fort Snyder, doing
duty at Rosebud and various other points dis
tant from there. left for their respective posts

panies of the second infantry, from Omaha
Gen. Wheaton, would remain during the
winter, and that other companies would return
home.
| Gen. Miles was busy preparing his congratu-
| latory address to the soldiers Gen. Miles ex-
| poets to leave for the east next week, and Gen.
Brooke will assume command of the forces
which may remain in the field. The general is
said to be experiencing some opposition in
Washington to his policy of segregating the
several Indian tribes Notwithstanding that
the Indians had started back to the Tongue
River the tribe is still retained outside the
| breastworks. awaiting permission from the In
| terror Department to move.
| The general proposed to send back to their
| respective agencies all Indians who do not be-
long to Pine Ridge, his theory being that thus
peace may be preserved. Gen. Miles yesterday
relieved from duty Col. Bache. Capt. Humph-
rey and Lieut.. Mollory as acting division Of
officers in the field. they return to their de-
partmental work. Another council was held
yesterday, but nothing resulted from it.

view the outbreak and its incidents, the meth
DDS of the military and congratulate and COM
mend the troops for their services.

Special Cable Dispatch to the New York Herald
LONDON, Jan. 17.-Rumors ere afoat Of
somewhat forcible remonstrance havin,
been addressed by Mr.. Blaine 10 Lord Sails
bury on account Of the proceedings being takeI
to the Supreme Court, but nothing seems to b,
known about it in official circles. II such
dispatch has been received Lord Salisbury il
keeping it to himself until Tuesday next, wher
there will be cabinet meeting to arrange Ii.
course OF business for parliament
The government is in q position, I under
stand to dispose quickly Of any charge brought
against it of desire to steal march on the
United States in the Boring sea negotiations OF
OF treating the Secretary Of State with dis
courtesy,
Those who are acquainted with the facts are
confident that when the people on both sides OF
the Atlantic hear the truth they will see that
the British ministry could not have acted
otherwise than it has done. 1t will be denied
altogether that Lord Salisbury originated or
suggested the application to the Supreme
Court. The proceedings were taken on the re-
sponsibility and initiative of Canada, the min
istry here concurring, and not imagining for a
moment that the United States government
would place an offensive construction upon
them.
1t is maintained that an appeal to the highest
American court for the settlement of the points
OF law involved in the international dispute
shows the utmost confidence in that court, and
therefore cannot reasonably be regarded as an
act OF discourtesy toward the President or his
advisers. 1t ia also well known here that the
proceedings in question were originally sug-
gested months ago by an American lawyer of
high standing. Mr.. Sydney Webster. Officials
here are prepared to show that thew have
greater confidence in the impartiality and in
dependence Of the Supreme Court than is en-
tertained by the Secretary of State.
The question will no doubt be brought before
parliament as soon as the papers are laid on the
table. may say that among all parties there
appears to be concensus of opinion that in
using every means of closing this controversy
IN an amicable and speedy manner Lord Sails
bury deserves general support. There will,
therefore, be no attack upon the ministry from
the opposition. 1t is acknowledged that they
have acted with perfect good faith and could
not have foreseen that a willingness to submit
their case to the adjudication of purely Amer
lean tribunal would be regarded as an insult by
Mr.. Blaine. MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.
