The Idaho Tribes are Pursuing Peace
ful Course.
CHICAGO, Jan. GA dispatch re-
ceived by the Associated Press from
Pocatello, Idaho, says: The reports OF
serious trouble or fears OF an outbreak
among the Indians on Fort Hall reser-
walton, surrounding this place, are ut
terly without foundation. A visit to
Blackfoot on the edge OF the reservation,
and at the agency itself, fails to reveal
any cause of apprehension. While
the Indians have been dancing
these demonstrations partake the
same character as those held
every year at this time. The Indi.
ans on the reservation are Sboshones
and Bannocks, the former being a
peaceable tribe and greatly in the ma
jority. The Bannocks are all warriors.
but could not muster more than seven
ty-fve fighting bucks. Agent Fisher
does not consider that there is any cause
Tor alarm, Tomorrow rations will be
issued and the indications are that the
usual number OF Indians will apply at
the agency. There is no apparent
movement on the part of the Indians in
dlcatlng any trouble. 1t is reported
that United States troops from Boise
City have been ordered here, but as no
necessity exists for their presence, steps
have been taken to have the order re-
voked.
WASHINGTON, Jan. GA telegram was
received tonight by General Schofield
from General Gibbon, commanding the
division OF the Pacific, who said an in
vestigation OF the alleged Indian trouble
in the vicinity of Pocatello, Idaho,
showed the scare to be without founda-
tion.

ST. Louis, NO., Jan. "a special from
Guthrie, o. T., says: Much excitement
prevails here regarding the present In
dian outlook. Grave apprehensions are
felt, and trouble is expected as soon as
the disarming Of the Indians is begun.
Reports regarding the seriousness of the
situation have been withheld by cores
pondents, but it is no longer secret
that trouble is imminent, and the facts
must be promulgated. The settlers
along the reservation border are of
course more alarmed; their position is
most critical. George B. Laing,
a settler. came to this city and sought
the office of United States Marshal
Grimes. Laing states that militia
company had been hurriedly organized
There. A company of minute men had
also been formed. The Indian scare in
this territory is no longer fake, and
within weeks time at the longest,
Kingfisher and other border towns will
be under constant picket guard. Chey-
enne and Arapahoe Indians came in to
Kingfisher and purchased every cart
ridge that could be had. The aspect is
serious. Judge Sea, of the supreme
bench, said today that the inland towns
should at once organize in companies to
aid, il necessary, the settlers along the
border.

A HoNEYED EpIsTLE.


Tr General Miles today received a note
in Indian, couched in terms of sweetness
and innocence. 1t came from Sitting
Bear and Short Bull. They had stopped
their ghost dance, they said, because the
general bade them to. They would
come in and be good Indians.
1t is unnecessary to say that the word
ofthese willy chiefs was not respected from
the first. They have been credited be-
fore with saying that they would never
come in, even if only fifty remained out.
The letter was intended for purpose,
and General Miles seems to understand
what that purpose was.
This afternoon detachment of cav
airy arrived escorting twenty-four In
dians, who had succeeded in breaking
away from the hostiles. Young Man.
Afraid-of- His Horses reported to Gen
eral Miles this afternoon that he had
visited the Ogallalas and they would
start for the agency this afternoon.
They are camping tonight near the
school house at Wounded Knee.

He Says a Wicked Young Man Wrote
That Letter to MeGTath.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Representative
Turner, of Kansas, speaking of the
much-talked-of letter to McGrath, said
tonight it was written by young man
who came to Washington from his
(Turner's) district, some time ago. He
was lawyer, and wanted an Office in
order to help him along. Turner let
him write such letters as could be an
swe-ed without dictation, and gave him
enough money to pay his board bill.
Finally when it became apparent that
he could not get an appointment here,
he became angry, and in revenge wrote
the letter. Turner refused to disclose
his name, but says he is after the young
man and will prosecute him. A vigor-
GUS search is being made for the orig
inal document, which is said to be n
the hands of the Alliance people.

A Free COIna-e Case.

A queer case will come up in the
courts soon that may determine the
matter of free coinage without any
necessity of congressional enactment
in the case at ALL We hope such
will prove to be the result, but have
strong doubts as to Its termination
Some Colorado miners, during the
winter, went to Washington with a
silver brick for the purpose of ten
dering it for coinage by the Govern
ment. They made the tender at the
Philadelphia mint and were refused
They next went to Washington and
sued out a writ in one of the local
courts against the Secretary of the
Treasury requiring him to show cause
why he should not cause the bullion
to be made into standard dollars as
requested. The court has just grant
ed the writ and now the case will be
tried on its merits. The Colorado
men take the position that the Con-
stituhon of the United States pro-
vides for the coinage of both gold
and silver, and that Congress has no
right to make laws which discrimin-
ates between the two metals. If
there be free coinage of gold, they
say there must also be free coinage
of silver.

SAKT LAKE TRIBUNE: A CORES.
pondent asks US how the naval power
of the United States ranks among
the Nations of the earth. We be-
lieve it is the ninth in power. Great
Britain leads with navy containing
542 ships, manned by 1890 men.
Next France has 40 ships, manned
by $4,000 men. Russia has 391 ships,
manned by 10000 men; Spain has
1876 ships, manned by 23,3Sl men;
The netherlands, 146 ships, with 1879
men; Italy, "A ships, with 10000 men;
China, l24 ships, with 1884 men;
Turkey has GA ships, with 10000 men;
the United States has 70 vessels, with
12,490 men; Germany has 90 ships,
with 1900 men; Austria Hungary,
9S ships, with 12,262 mn. The above,
however, does not give clear idea of
the strength of the different navies.
For instance, Great Britain has over
seventy tremendous iron-clads and
ships of the line. France and Ger
many have some most effective ships,
while Italy has four ships of war
which are equal to any in the world.
