PINE RIDGE AGENCY, s. d., Jan l3-It
looks as though the Indian troubles would
be ended today, aud that without further
bloodshed The hostiles, with many war
like demonstrations and firing Of rifles,
have advanced TO within about a mile OF
the agency, and Gen. Miles confidently ex-
poets that by tonight peace will reign at
the agency. Scout Gourard reports thai
the savages are wild and growing more
uneasy as they approach the agency. TheY
fear that they are going 20 be swept of tho
face OF the earth for the mischief they have
committed. The crisis will be reached
when the savages go into camp here. Then
IL will only take a spark TO set off the
whole magazine.
Artillerymcn were galloping through
the camp this morning placing their heavy
guns In more commanding positions
Everything is now so arranged that any
hostile demonstrations on the part Of tho
savages will be met by fire which will
Instantly crush them. Last evening Cen
Miles sent the following communication
to Buffalo Bill, who is in command Of the
Nebraska state troops:
81 am glad TO inform you that the entire
Oouy OF lnulans are now cAHlIfeu near mere
within mile and half They show every
disposition to comply with the orders Of
the authorities. Nothing but an accident
can prevent peace being established, and
1t will be our ambition to make it Of per
manent character. -
81 feel that the state troops can now be
withdrawn with safety, and desire through
you TO express to them my thanks for the
confidence theS have given yosfr people in
their Isolated homes. Like information
has this day been given Gen. Colby"
The troops are pressing the hostiles
closely, and have guarded all avenues OF
escape. But few OF them are armed, the
remainder having hid their arms In the
sand hills. IL has been decided TO not at
tempt TO disarm the few that have guns,
for the reason that they can easily procure
more from the traders

Of smoke inspector. IL further finds that
Governor Foraker and Murat Halstead
aided in the forgery, the former by ex-
hibiting the paper to several persons and
the latter by publishing il in The Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, but exonerated
both of them as not cognizant Of the fact
that the paper was forgery.
IL exonerates all the persons whose names
appeared on the alleged contract with i'm
proper connection with the ballot box con
tract. The findings so far are approved by
the full committee
Chairpan Mason Disscnts.
Chairman Mason dissents from his col
leagues in the following conclusions, where
hey find: That the conduct OF Wood dur
ing the negotiations with Governor For
aker disclosed his depravity; that a careful
scrutiny Of the face OF the forged paper
must have shown its false character, and
that the publication by Mr.. Halstead
showing Mr. Campbell's name and sup
pressing all other signatures was almost
as bad rs the original fabrication
Whether or not Messrs. Foraker aud
Halstead treated we'll these honorable men,
Mr. Mason says, is aquestion Of ethics not
involved in this investigation. Mr.. Mason
says that the publication OF the forged
paper long before election is conclusive
evidence that Mr.. Halstead was deceived
and believed the paper genuine. Since
these gentlemen found they were deceived
they did all in their power he says, as
honorable men to make amends. In con.
clusion Mr. Mason says; "To ask more is
unjust, and does not warrant the censure
INDUCED in by my colleagues, and against
such additional findings respectfully and
earnestly protest.

NEW ORLEANS EXCITED.
Tho Dempsey FitEsimmons Fight the Al
Absorbing Topic.

Tho psey-Fitzsimmons Fight the All
Absorbing Topic.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 13-The excitement
over the forthcoming fight tonight be-
tween Dempsey and Fitzsimmons for the
middle weight championship OF the world
and purse Of $4,000 Is at fever heat.
There are twice as many men In the city
from distant points than witnessed the
Sullivan Kilrain fight. Jack McAuliffe,
the champion light weight, says that the
Nonpariel is simply perfection, both in
flesh and wind. For all this, however, the
prevailing sentiment is veering around to-
ward the Australian. Bud Renaud, an
eminent authority, says that the fight will
be close one, with the chances favoring
Fitzsimmons.
Most Of the northern aud western money
is here for Dempsey. but his hackers are
chary Of giving odds Local spectators
generally favor Fitzimmons, but they want
odds. Some $4,000 has been placed in the
hands OF bud" Renaud to place any part
of il on Fitzimmons at odds Of $50 TO $50.
There is absolutely no question as to fair
fight OF police interference. On the con.
trary, the mill will be under police protec.
tion. McAuliffe announces that he will
meet Carroll for a purse of $4,000, which
will undoubtedly be offered by some local
club.
Frank Stevenson Is here endeavoring to
arrange a match between Kilrain and Cor
bett for a side bet OF s., 500 and such a
purse as a local club may offer. From his
utterances Corbett does not take kindly Il
meeting the Baltimore man.
Jack Dempsey left his quarters last
evening and went cunning for William r..
Harding, r. K FOx's representative. The
latter was found In the Western Union
Telegraph Office and wordy war ensued.
At one time it threatened TO develop into a
free fight. Some years ago Fox offered a
belt for the middle weight championship.
IL was won three times in succession by
Dempsey In his fights with La Blanche,
Reagan and Billy Mccarthy. After the
latter fight the belt became his personal
property When Harding arrived here
yesterday he announced that Fox proposed
to give another championship belt, to be
awarded TO the winner Of the coming fight.
The Olympic club accepted the PROPOSE
tion, but when Dempsey heard OF it he de-
clared that there could not be two belts in
existence, that the new offer made the one
he had valueless, and he wanted to know
il his trophy was TO be regarded as an old
tin cup. lie was finally quieted and led
away by his friends

Of the prisoners were Cinnamon, who were
arrested at "a Pell street, which is a large
Chinese store. Lee Yon Pine is the part
ner who runs the business in this city. He
supplies Joints" with opium. Two months
ago the authorities at Washington learned
that large quantities of opium in its crude
state was shipped from China to Canada,
where opium is dutiable at 81 pound, the
duty in the United States under the Nc
Kinley act being Sl2 pound prepared for
smoking. The white man arrested was
A. b. Wilder, who was caught at Boston
en- route from Canada with hand grip.
Twenty-Five pounds Of opium prepared for
smoking were found in the gripsack.
Wilder was held in $4,000 bail before the
United States commissioner in Boston.
Papers in the grip led to the apprehension
Of the Mongolians. The customs officials
expressed their belief that Wilder had
within the past eighteen months defrauded
the government OF $50 900 in duties.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12--In the senate Mr..
