The Red Men viii SO East.

SPOKANE, Jan. 4.-Chief Joseph. of the
Nez Perces, his nephew, young Chief
Long Hair, Umatilla Moses Mlntholn,
an educated Christian Indian, accom-
panied by Agent Crawford, of the
Umatilla reservation, in Eastern Oregon,
are expected to leave soon for Chicago
and Washington. Runners have been
sent out for Joseph, and he is expected
in here on the 2 o'clock freight tonight.
He is going to Washington to plead with
the Indian authorities to allow him to
return with his children to their old home
in the beautiful Blue mountains of East
ern Oregon. The Nez Perces, 1t will be
remembered, rebelled against az attempt
to remove them from the Blue mountains
to strange reservation and led by
Joseph, made their phenomenal running
fight with General Howard, a campaign
unequaled in the history of Indian war
fare. After their defeat they were sta
toned on the Colyille reservation, near
Spokane. They have never been con-
tent and take slow to the custom OF
civilization. The party will stop two
or three days at the Palmer House in
Chicago. The Indians pay their own
expenses. Joseph and Young Chief have
made several trlps east, but Long Hair
has never been away. Agent Crawford
reports that some time sgo number of
chiefs of the Umstilla reservation were
deposed, and, taking the advice of a
meddling attorney, they slipped away
from the agency and are now in Washing
ton. Crawford has telegraphed ahead,
and his present visit is supposed to be
in this connection. The Indians got
away last Wednesday,.

ton, there are three important facts
which divest the warlike rumors of the
past few days of nearly all their slgnlf =
canoe. First-The basis of negotiations
has been transferred absolutely from
Santiago to Washington. Second-The
Chilian government has indicated
through Mr.. Montt willingness TO
submit the question of the dispute to
arbitration. Third-The president will
lay before congxess the whole corresmond-
ence, and may possibly accompany that
transmittai with a accommodation that
this matter be referred to arbitration to
the Mexican minister il Washingt Mr..
Romero. SIgnor Don Pedro Montt, the
Chilian Minister, is himself the authority
for the statement that the negotiations
have been transferred from the Chilian
capital to the seat of the government of
the United States. Mr. Montt says that if
the question in the controversy had been
left to MIR. Blaine and himself settle
ment would have been arrived at long
before this. The chief difficulty, he says,
in the way of an adjustment has arisen
from the strained relations between the
United States minister, Mr.. Egan, and the
ChilIan government. All matters are
now taken out of that channel, and the
correspondence is being conducted direct
from here chiefly by cable and without
the Intervention OF our minister in
Santiago. This removes one great source
of friction, though at the same time it
leaves the American minister in an
anomalous position from which it is
thought he will shortly be relieved in
some manner, either by leaYe of absence
or otherwise.

ReassembIing OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-Wben the fifty
second congress reassembles Tuesday it
will find itself far less capable of entering
upon actual Legislative business than any
predecessor of recent years. The con-
mlttees of the senate, owing to the late
ness OF the organization, have been un-
able to place upon the calendars any
reports that will properly engross the
attention of the senate at this stage of
the first session. Consequently there
will probably be little to do next week
beyond listening to speeches and acting
upon resolutions of minor Importance,
and nominations by the president. The
illness of Speaker Crisp has prevented the
house committee on rules availing itself
of the holiday recess for the preparation
of rules or the direction of the
business of the house. Mr.. Crisp's
present condition warrants tine presump-
tion that he will nos be able to preside
when the house reassembles, and in CON
formity with the requirements Of the
general parliamentary rule, Clerk Kerr
will call the body to order. A speaker
pro TEN will thea be elected, probably
Mr.. Mcmillan, as Mr.. Mills, who has also
been mentioned in that connection, is
not in the city, and an effort will prob
ably be made to secure the adoption of
the Springer resolution, now pending be-
fore the committee of rules, providing
for the adoption of the rules of the
fiftieth congress until further action is
taken. Ii this is done, the various com
mittees having the general appropriation
bills in charge will be able to enter upon
the preparation of these measures. There
is some talk of holding Democratic
caucus to morrow night to fully define
the programme, but In view of the num-
ber of absent representatives. It cannot be
determined to call caucus.

m,eha u Dayitt WRITES A Letter.

LONDON, Jan. 4-Michael Dayitt has
written a letter to be published in the
Times to-day, protesting it is cowardly
to insluuate that the recent explosion at
Dublin castle might be traced to Patrick
Ford. Davltt says it is more probable,
as the Times friend, Piggot, Is dead, that
the newspaper referred to has another
agent whose duty it is to preach the
gospel of dynamite as PIggott did the
gospel of forgery. Davitt also suggests
that the explosion was due to one OF the
government menials, whose object was to
Influence the coming election in Rossen-
dale. 1t is SAID to be probable that
Davitt will be candidate for representa-
ton of Wexford in parliament. 1t is re-
ported that Lewis Jennings, representa-
tive OF Stockport in parliament, gentle =
man we'll known in the United States,
has decided to retire and accept the Chill
tern Hundreds. 1t is added that Jen-
nlngs' references to the conservative
party, of which he has been considered
a member, over his nom de plume of "a
Member of Parliament" In the New
York newspapers, have much to do with
jennings proposed retirement.

The Rails spread.

GARFIELD, Wash, Jan. A. 4.-Sunday
mornlng as passenger train No. 8. of the
Union Pacific, was about midway be-
tween Latah and Tekoa, the rails spread,
dersiiing the entire train from the tender
to tue Pullman and tearing up 150 yards
of track. The engine and tender passed
in safety, but the mail car, express car,
smoker and chair car were all wrecked.
The latter swayed SO violently that some
of the passengers were made sick, and
when 1t was stopped, it was at such an
angle that it was impossible to walk
through it. The mail car was the only
one upset, and it was thrown down an
embankment, one end projecting over the
creek. The other cars remained on the
grade, but not wheel was on the track.
The mail clerk was hurt slightly, but no
one else was injured. An extra train was
sent from Tekoa to the relief of the
wrecked train.

READY FOE A REVOLT.
Labor Troubles.

LITTLE Rock, Jan. There was great
excitement in railroad circles to-day over
the election of a carload of ''scab" rail
way employees, en- route from IndIanap-
oils and Louisville to relieve the strike
on the Arkansas Pass road. The railway
men had learned of their coming, and
when the train arrived large crowd wss
congregated at the. depot. Ohe shouted
to "cut the hose and drop the car out"
and the air brake hose was severed in an
instant. When the train started up the
mob having failed to disconnect the en-
rang and the train stopped again. BY
this time all the whistles in the yard be-
gan to blow, and it seemed as though
bedlam had broke loose, A hundred
men rushed into the sleeper, driving the
occupants, some forty telegraph oper-
ators, machinists and train hands, from
the car and into the swamps near by.
Most of them were driven into pond,
through which they foundered, followed
by the infuriated men. The sleeper was
recoupled to the train and crossed the
river iuto Little Rock, where another
crowd of men boarded it and with knives
cut to shreds all the baggage of the un-
fortunates. j. H. Littlefeld, who was in
charge of the party of new men, with
several of his companions, escaped and
took train for Texas, while the others
of the party are still hiding in the
swamps awaiting an opportunity to es-
cape. The railroad authorities are en-
ragged at the action of their employees.
The various railroad labor unions are in
strong sympathy with their striking
brethren in Texas, and 1t is wonder
that the new men did not receive severe
personal injuries.

Rishop LoughEin,s Funeral.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-The ceremonies
attending the funeral of Bishop Loughlin,
which took place this morning at the
cathedral in Brooklyn, were of the most
imposing character, and the funeral
cortege was the largest which ever at
tended the burial Of any prelate in that
city. Long before the hour appointed
for solemn mass to be sung, the seats,
aisles and galleries were packed. Many
distinguished prelates were given seats at
the altar, while in the front seats of the
middle aisle 300 priests in their robes
sat. Among the prelates were Arch
bishop Corrigan, Bishop Metz, of Denver !;
Bishop elect Morstman, of Cleveland: !:
Bishop McNierney, of Albany; Monsig-
nor Cantwell, of Philadelphia; Rev.
Magnin, president of st. Mary's seminary,

THE FESTIVE TRAIN ROBBER.
ThOs. Whalen, the Escaped Convict.
Robbed n Train Monday Morning.
Salem StatesInnn


The escaped convict, Thos. Whaleu, has
been heard from. He is now posing as q
tram robber, having sustained that role
quite successfully Monday. The quiet little
station of Clackamas, on the line of the
Southern Pacific, was the scene Of his dar.
ing and the caboose of side-tracked freight
train felt the effects Of his shrewdness.
Tie robbery occurred at about Q o'clock in
the morning, while the freight train was
standing at Clackamas. While no one was
in the caboose a man answering Whalens
description entered the car and helped him.
self from the trainsmen's lunch baskets and
then went through the pockets of the
clothes hanging in the car. He secured
about $50 and was accompanied from the
car by good overcoat. When he left the
train he started east across the country in
the direction of tall timber. As soon as 1t
was known robbery had been committed
men rushed in pursuit of the thiet, but up
to evening had not been successful In over
taking him.
Friday nigI< Whalen slept at a farm
house near Aurora, and his identity was
suspected, although the people were afraid
of him. They thought to take him IN
charge but their courage failed them and
the next day they found lying on the table
in the room he had occupied some letters
and photographs which assured them they
had been correct in their suspicious. The
letters were addressed to Thos. Whalen.
The fellow is pretty well fixed now, hav-
ing stolen odd pieces of clothing as he
passed through the country. RiAing
farmers house here and there as he became
hungry, he is well fed and Is no doubt pro.
vided with sufficient provisions to keep him
alive for several days; and also provided
himself with an abundance of warm cloth
ing. Every remnant of tho prison earb has
been discarded, and but for the scar across
his nose 1t would be difficult to identify
him.
Superintendent Downing and Second
Warden Cavanagh are IN pursuit, as are also
several officers Of the law, and they are
confijert OF success in cffecting capture.
Il may hot detract from the interest of
the story to nsirate that second account
OF the robbery gives sensational aspect to
the affair. According to this version,
Whalen held up the trainmen, while they
were assembled in the caboose, and relieved
them of their belongings. This occurred
while the train was near Aurora.

Another Engagement.

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. Late this after
noon news was received of another en-
| gagement between Garza's men and the
| United States troops and rangers, vino
have been in pursuit for several days.
The kilograms which were from Captain
Hardle to General Stanley, were sent
from some STATION on the Texas Mexican
railroad in Starr and Dewall counties.
1t was so garbled in transmission that
nothing could be learned from it, except
that an engagement had occurred and the
troops were in a perilous position. A
full! account is expected tomorrow.
THE SITUATION MORE SERIOUS.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. THE alarm
on the border over the CARA uprising Is
becoming intense, and there are many
startling rumors In circulation concern
ing the fate of the United States troops
concentrated IN Starr and Duval coun-
ties. CARA is known to have force of
500 desperate men, and if the 1000 Mex
ican troops who are reported 10 have
murdered and deserted General LorenZi
Garcia. commander at MIer, have made
their way to GarZas stronghold on the
Texas side, their united force would give
Bourke hard fight. General Stanley
and othor military authorities are very
uneasy over not receiving any inform
alton from the seat OF war during the
past forty. eight hours. 1t would not be
impossible for Cara, with force of l.
200 meu, to capture Fort Ringgold and
the whole force of United States troops
in that section of the frontier. He has
threatened on several occasions to take
Fort Ringgold if it becomes necessary
for him to get food and military supplies.
If the opportunity has occurred, it is not
improbable he has executed his threats.
General Stanley will send two more
troops of cavalry to the scene of the dis
turbance to. morrow.
READY FOE REVOLT.
The total number of United States
troops In the turbulent territory looking
after CARA will be about 1000 men when
these 90 out Tomorrow to reach the
scene. Cara has spies in this city who
keep him fully posted of every maneuver,
and If the rumored revolt of soldiers at
Mier proves current. it is believed the
population of Northern Mexico will flock
TO his standard rapidly. The recent per-
secution of Catholic men has heightened
the disaffection towards the Diaz gov
ernment, and all the people are waiting
for is to join any revolutionary move
ment with prospect of success. Fur
ther news is awaited with much anxiety |
