TRAGEDY AT PINR RIDGE.
Two Sticks and His Son Murder
Three White Men.
AN UPRISING Is FEARED.
The Indian Police Are Searching Tor
the Murderers.
Army Officials Do Not Credit the Story Of
an Outbreak, But state That If 1t
Does Come They Are
Ready.

CHICAGO, Feb 4.-On receipt of dis
patches from Washington and Pine
Ridge agency this afternoon announcing
tragedy at the latter agency a reporter
went to headquarters of the division OF
the Missouri to see General Miles. He
was not in the city, but Captain Baldwin
OF his staff said: 81 don't think there is
anything in it. We have received no
news OF an uprising and although some
men may have been killed, that does not
predict a generel revolt by any means.
The murders could not have been COM
mitted by Two Sticks, for be is not near
Pine Ridge. He is at Rosebud and could
hardly have killed anybody at Pine
Ridge. think the uprising is part of a
story that Is not as serious as reported. -
A dispatch received here tonight from
Chadron, asserts that the killing was
done by Two Sticks band and that
the murderers are still at liberty in spite
OF the efforts of the Indian police to APP
prehend them. The killing took place at
Humphreys ranch, about twenty miles
from Pine Ridge agency 1t is difficult
to learn just what was the reason for the
killing or how it occurred.
From dispatch from Rushville it is
4CeiAHSN Shs-O tli0 hTSO EumOrS OF Ll6 Kill
ing came to the Pine Ridge agency yes
terday morning. Acting Agent Captain
Brown Immediately sent several Indian
police to investigate the matter. Upon
their return today they reported finding
three white men dead and another NOR
tally wounded. The latter died in a short
time. They say the killing was done by
Two Sticks, his sons and another Indian.
Captain Brown, on receipt of This in
formation, sent out detachment of In
dian police to apprehend the murderers.
1t is stated at the agency that Captain
Brown does not think there will be any
further trouble and that the outbreak is
only due to some outside quarrel. 1t is
also said that the chiefs at the agency
deprecate the killing and profess anxiety
to see the guilty ones punished, but it is
difficult to say how much reliance may be
placed in their professions in view of past
occurrences.
A report received this evening asserts
that in fight this afternoon the Indian
police killed Two Sticks, MS two sons
and and Indian named White Horse.
This is not authenticated.

Was the Tribute to MIR. Blount
WASHINGTON, Feb. AIN the House
the anti-options bill was referred to the
Committee of the Whole and the House
proceeded to the consideration of the
. diplomatic and consular appropriation
bills.
A remarkable and unprecedented scene
enacted in the House was the tribute to
Mr.. Blouut of Georgia, who retires from
Congress at this session. When consid-
Grafton OF the diplomatic bill had been
completed Mr.. Holman, Democratic
father OF the House, arose and expressed
sincere regret that the association of
twenty years was to be severed. Mr..
O'Neiu OF Pennsylvania, the Republican
nestor, endorsed every word OF the high
eulogies which Mr.. Holman had uttered,
and Messrs. Hit, Bland, Springer and
McCreary added their need of praise to
the ability and patriotism of the retiring
member and though the speeches were in
a vein running in the direction of Mr..
Blonnt's promotion to the cabinet. MIR.
Blount was profoundly moved. In q few
words he responded to the remarks and
declared that whatever the future had in
store for him he would ever look back to
this hour as the brightest hour IN ms life.
The diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill passed. Mr.. Hermann of Oregon
taking occasion to make few remarks on
the subject of Hawaiian annexation and
having read the resolutions adopted by
the legislature OF his state in favor of an
nexation.
The military academy bill was then
passed and after memorial services in
honor of the late ]. w. Kendall of Ken
lucky the House adjourned.

THU CONTEST IN WYOMING.
Only One Ballot Was Taken Yes
terday with No Choice.
REPUBLICANS FOR BROOKS.
An Agreement Made at Fridays Caucus
to Be Declared OF.
Four Populist Organizations win Meet in
Washington on the 22nd Inst, When
An Effort Will Be Made to
Amalgamate.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Feb. 4.-[special. =
AT a caucus held last night it was agreed
that the Democrats should vote solidly
for list of candidates in order. There
were two exceptions of members who re-
fused to be bound by the majority of
the caucus. New was at the head of the
list. The plan was to give each of the
candidates three votes and then to take up
the next one until the Populist should
vote with the Democrats and elect a
senator.
Only one ballot was taken, which re-
suited as follows: New, IS; Brooks, Re-
publican, 20; Brown, Populist, 5; Corn,
Democrat. 8; Davis, Republican, 1. I'm
mediately after the result was announced
the joint session adjourned.
Brooks, who received the entire Repub-
lican vote, is wealthy sheep man of Ma
trona county. AS three of the Democrats
failed to vote for New it is likely the
agreement at the caucus last night Will
be declared off.

THE AMMEN RAM.
Landing of the New Turtle Back Vessel
at Bath, Maine

Landing of the New Turtle Back Vessel
at Bath, Maine.
BATH, Me-, Feb. 4.-The twin screw
armor platter harbor defense ram Kata-
holm, better known as.the Ammen ram,
was launched here this afternoon in the
presence of 5000 people. Miss Solely,
daughter OF Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Solely, performed the christening
ceremony. The Maine legislature at
tended in body, and there were num-
Der of congressman from Washington
present. The vessel is built upon plans
drawn by Rear Admiral Ammen, and IS
something of novelty in naval architec-
ture. The principal popularity consists
of number OF tanks which, when filled
with air, give her convenient free
board for coasting service, but when filed
with water depress her so that her turtle
back deck is awash. She is intended
purely as a weapon of offense against an
attacking feet, and her mission will be to
sink battleshlps or cruisers. She mounts
no guns save few small ones of rapid
firing pattern intended to keep off tor
pedO boats.

The kilograms Sent from the State De-
part1nent to Mr.. Stevens.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Secretary Foster
made public today the full text of the
dispatch announcing the Hawaiian revo-
luton received by him from Minister
Stevens on the 18th of January by tele-
graph and the answer he sent to the min
lister. The information contained in the
dispatch sent by Mr.. Stevens has already
been made public, but the reply OF Score
tary Foster is herewith given for the first
time: 1t is addressed to John L. Stevens,
United States minister, honolulu:
"Your dispatch telegraphed from San
Francisco announcing the revolution and
establishment of a provisional government
received today. Your course in recog-
nizing the unopposed de fdct0 government
appears to have been discreet and in ac-
cordance with the facts. The rule of this
government uniformly has been to recog-
niZe and enter into relation with any
actual government in full possession OF
effective power with the assent of power
You will continue to recognize the new
government under such conditions. 1t Is
trusted the change besides conducting to
the tranquility and welfare OF the Ha-
Waiian islands will tend to draw closer
mon interests which SO conspicuously
and necessarily link them to the United
States. You will keep in constant COM
munication with the commander of the
United States naval force at Honolulu
with view of acting, if need be, for the
protection of interests and property OF
American citizens and aiding in the
preservation of good order under the
changed condition reported.
(Signe6). ''JoHN w. FOSTER"
Secretary Foster also gave out for pub
LEGATION a statement defending the land
ing of United States marines at Honolulu.
The official announcement contained in
Minister Stevens dispatch to Secretary
Foster that representatives of all foreign
governments would recognize the pro-
visional government of Hawaii, was evil
IDENTIFY as much of a surprise to the COM
missloners now here as it was to the gen
eral public, as it may properly be con-
strued to include a representative of Great
Britain. The commissioners say it is
probable the British minister met the
United States minister and communicated
verbally to him information just before
he notified officials OF the new govern
ment of his recognition, or that he in
tended doing SO, which gave to Mr..
Stevens grounds for the statement con-
tanned in the dispatch. The commits
sioners say they have full power to nego-
tiate a treaty OF annexation with The
United States, and although they are not
officially recognized by the government,
yet they are encouraged to believe from
the manner in which they are treated that
formal recognition will soon follow.

THE FIRST INTERVIEW Held
Secretary Foster and the Ha-
waiian Commission Meet.
NOTHING is ACCOMPLISHED.
All Matters 60 Over Until Next Tues
day Morning.
Full Text of the Dispatches Sent BY the
State Department to Minister Stevens
at Honolulu-TaIks With the
Commissioners.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The first inter-
view between Secretary Foster and the
Hawaiian annexation commissioners was
held in the diplomatic parlor Of the state
department this morning between 10 and
IL and lasted hall an hour. Those pres
emit were Secretary Foster and Solicitor
Partridge, representing the United States;
Messrs. Thurston, Wilder, Castle, Mars
den and Carter, Hawaiian commits
sioners, L. S. Kinney of Salt Lake was
with them as unofficial adviser and DR..
Mott Smith, the Hawaiian minister. Mr..
Thurston, on behalf of his associates, pre-
scented their credentials from President
Dole of the provisional government and
supplemented them with brief statement
of the events on the islands which were
the cause of their visit.
Secretary Foster responded in few
words of welcome, stating that the reason
for their errand was well known to the
people OF the United States. After an ex-
change of social greetings, in the course
of which the secretary expressed his re-
greet that he was unable to receive them at
his own house, which has been closed in
expectation of his departure for Europe
next week, the interview closed with an
engagement to meet again at this after
noon.
The Hawaiian commissioners returned
at once to their hotel, where they dis
cussed the question of making a state
ment to the people of the United States
upon the subject OF their mission to this
country. Mr.. Thurston was asked
whether the reception by Secretary Foster
had been satisfactory, and replied quite
so. OF the details, however, he could not
speak, as he had been requested by Sec
rotary Foster, pending negotiations, to
make no statements regarding the pro-
gress thereof.
Other members of the commission
united with Thurston in expressing much
satisfaction over the manner OF their re-
ception. Mr.. Castle said he found Secre-
tary Foster an exceedingly affable gem
tleman, and anticipated very pleasant re-
lations between him and the commits
sioners during their stay. They had
been cordially received by representatives
of the United States government, he said,
and this beginning he believed augured a
satisfactory completion of their mission.
After the interview, Secretary Foster
said he had nothing new to communicate
and owing to the press of other business
he was unable to see newspaper men.

ENABLING ACT FOR Utah.
kThe House Territories Committee
Will Make Effort on Monday.
AND WILL CALL UPTHEBILL
Monday Is Suspension Day Which
Cuts OH Filibustering.
IN the Senate an Attempt VIII Also BE
Made to Have Action Taken, But
Opposition From Republicans
Is Anticipated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-ISpecial. i
Representative Washington, chairman of
the territories committee, says be will en-
deavor to have called up in the House on
Monday the bill authorizing Utah to
\ form constitution and apply for adj
mission. He has thoroughly canvassed
the Democratic side and found only one
member opposed. He believes a great
many Republicans viii also support the
bill. Mr.. Washington has almost a posi-
tive promise from Speaker Crisp that if
anything is done Monday the Utah bill
viii be given right OF way if the speaker
can assist.
A special effort viii be made Monday
because it is suspension day and cuts off
filibustering when the measure is once
before the House. Mr.. Washington S
only fear is the reported combination be-
tween the advocates of the anti-option,
bankruptcy and Hudson river bridge
bills, who are playing a "dog in the
fmangerP policy. Delegate Game has
4 been working all week with Mr.. Wash
ington and they will do their utmost to
have the Utah bill given precedence on
Monday.
MIR. Game has had satisfactory ar
rangement made with, Senator Carey to
change his amendment to the Senate bill
in reference to the methods of choosing
delegates to form a convention in Utah.
Instead of having the governor, secretary
and chief justice make the apportionment
as the original amendment provided Mr..
Game proposes that there be four dele
gates at large and one to each 3, 900 popu-
lation making seventy five in all.
Senator Carey thinks this better plan
his own. Friends of the territories will try
TO have the Senate also take action Mon
day, but it is expected there viii be con-
siderable opposition from New England
Republicans.

Their business at this session except the
passage of the appropriation bill.
The House bib to ratify the agreement
with the Cherokees for cession OF their
interest in the outlet lands and appropri-
ating over s., 800, 900 to carry it out was
passed in the shape Of substitute.
Mr.. Morgan introduced resolution
which was agreed to, requesting the pres
ident to send the Senate a draft of the an
nexation treaty of 1854, but not COM
pleted. Memorial proceedings in memory
of Messrs. Gamble of South Dakota, Ford
of Michigan and Stackhouse OF South

THE GERMAN ARMY BILL.
1t May Pass the Reichstag By Eleven
Majority.
The Hawaiian Question Exciting Great
Interest-What Compensation
Germany Wants.

BERLIN, Feb. 4.-The official dinner
given Thursday evening by Count Won
Gutenberg, president of the Prussian
council OF ministers, at which Emperor
William, DR.. Miguel, Prussian Minister
of finance and other ministers were pres
emit. The dinner was distinguished by the
entire suppression of all reference to the
army bill. Probably the emperor finds it
opportune for period Of silence. Another
reason for the reticicence at present OBJ
served in official circles is the present bell
licose speeches made by the leading gen.
| erals who speak out on the necessity OF
military reforms. Generals in enthusi-
astic obedience to orders went Beyond the
instructions and the terms used by them
would have been justified only had Europe
| been on the eve of general conflict.
Whatever may be the effect of these utter
ances outside of Germany the influence on
the reichstag will be small. The fate of
the bill rests with the Centre party.
An unimpeachable Centrist authority
declares that majority OF the Prussian
CeDtrists will vote for the bill with slight
amendments, while the south German
party will oppose the whole measure, and
the government will thus obtain small
majority of eleven.
Though the mission of General Won
Loe, who was appointed by Emperor
! William to congratulate the pope upon
the Episcopal jubilee is officially denied
to be in any way political, it undoubtedly
has bearing on the attitude of the Gem
trists who opposed the Catholic party in
Germany toward the bill.
Since the czarewitch's return to st.
Petersburg the czar is credited with in
structing General Gourko, governor OF
Warsaw, to suspend the massing of
troops along the German frontier. Mem
bers of Emperor Williams immediate
circle make much of the symptom of re-
newed amity. Hence rumors are current
of meeting of the czar, Emperor Will
liam and Emperor Franz Joseph. Rumor
also has it that conference is being ar
ranged between the car and Emperor
| William, but Notwithstanding all rumors
of pacific intentions the Russian newspaper
pro- French opinions take special occasion
now to revive expressions OF hostility to
| Germany.
The Hawaiian question Is not exciting
great interest here. 1t is understood that
the imperial foreign office will be willing
to support an American proteotorate over
Hawaii on condition that Germany re-
ceives some compensation in Samoa. The
present situation in Samoa cannot be
| long tolerated, and it is the opinion of
the foreign Office that the Hawaiian bust
ness offers good opportunity to obtain
new and permanent arrangements as re-
CARDS Samoa.

to the pockets of these very
Hawaiian planters who are today asking
the United States to annex the Sandwich
islands. If Hawaii is annexed and they
enjoy the same privileges as the Ameri-
can home sugar producers, 1t will greatly
injure the new American industry OF
beet sugar which is just beginning to de-
velop itself and which will, in few
years, If not stopped by adverse legiala-
ton, ind home in every state in the
union from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
either with sorghum or beets.
'sThey have strong lobby at Washing
ton, but do not believe, if only from an
economic standpoint, the United States
will want to burden itself with a terri
tory which has already cost US over $50, :
GOO, 600, and would continue to divert
SIS, 600, 600 year from the United States
treasury to the pockets OF che Hawaiian
government, otherwise known as Ha-
waiian sugar planters. Annexation or
nothing is the motto. The reason is
evident, as protectorate would not give
them what they are really seeking
money from the United States treasury. -

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 4.-President Har-

of Liverpool.
LONDON, Feb. A. Lord Salisbury
opened the Liverpool electric railway to-
day, and afterwards at the Liverpool
town hall replied to an address from the
chamber of commerce. Lord Salisbury
referred to the increased difficulties with
which British merchants had to contend
in the way of foreign competition. He
questioned both the morality and the ex
pediency of the use of the tariff as a
weapon against other nations, and main
tanned as an illustration in his argument
the fiscal wars between France, Italy and
Switzerland as producing a disaster to all
concerned. Lord Salisbury defended the
colonial extension of English rule. ''The
whole world, - he said, 'was benefited
bv British colonization. Should other
nations obtain colonies they might not
use them in the same generous manner as
the English, but might fence it around
with a wall of brass against English COM
marce. -
