Pine Ridge Murders Not the Result
of u Quarrel.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 8.-A Bee special
from Pine Ridge Agency, 8. D., says:
It's now definitely settled that only
two of the four white men belonged to
Humphrey camp. They were Rodney
Royse, of Wisconsin, and Emanuel
Bennett, of Breckenridge. The two
strangers were James Bacon and
William Kelley, two boys aged 10 and
16 years. respectively. Every particular
obtainable points to a premeditated
murder. Policeman Bear Runs In The
Woods reports to Agent Captain Brown
that he had talked to the murderers,
and that they told him the murder was
planned before its execution. Each one
was to select his man, after they had
gone to bed. and, to make sure that
each killed his man, they would empty
their revolvers in the victim. Young
Man-Afraid-o -His-Ho and son-in-
law of Red Cloud came to the
agency and asked for authority
to arrest the two escaped murderers
and bring Two Strikes, who is mortally
wounded. to the agency. He Dog
promises that he will arrest and bring
every one to the agency who partici-
pated in the murder. The agent will
not give his consent to this arrangement
until he sees that the police are unable
to make the arrest

ters on the reservation are in a much
more serious condition than is indicated
by the dispatches relative to the recent
troubles. He says all dispatches have
to be inspected and edited by Agent
Brown before they are sent out. This
was done with the dispatches about the
murder of the four cowboys. Their
murder was the resnltof ghost dancing,
in which many Of the Indians are
engaged. When the weather moderates.
he says, there will almost certainly be
an outbreak. Settlers are petitioning
to have troops put on the reservation.

FARGO. Feb. .S.-The passenger train
on the Fargo and Southwestern reached
here with two dead bodies. The snow
plow was sent ahead of the train, and
was composed of the engine, tender and
caboose, and when near Sheldon the
engine broke loose from the tender
and the latter and the caboose left
the track. The, engineer did not
know of the break until the fireman
stepped back to COAL when he nearly
stepped off. The engine was reversed
and run back. and it was found that

that they were unable to get out.
Brakeman Tom Smith was, rescued,

and Brakeman w. j. Quinlan were
burned to death before the others were
able to get them out. Crawford was
aged 30, marrifs and has three children.

PoLLED THE SENATE.

Expression On tho Hawaiian Annexa.
tfon Question.
NEw YORK. Feb. 1.-THE Washing
ton correspondent of The Herald has
made careful poll of the senate and
house upon the questions Shall Hawaii
be annexed? Shall the United States
establish protectorate over these
islands?''
A large number of senators and repre-
sentatives have declined to go on record
before the subject was presented to con-
gress by the president. The poll of the
senate is unusually large, eighty-three
out of eighty-eight members of that
body having been seen.
Five members of the senate are out of
the city. OF the other eighty three
three are against annexation and do not
look with any favor upon protector
ate. These senators are Jones, of
Arkansas, Pugh of Alabama, and
Gafferty, the new senator from
Louisiana. Twenty of the senator's
are decidedly in favor of annexa-
ton and very generally agree that
protectorate does not go far enough.
Thirty-fve senators prefer protector
ate to annexation, and twenty-five re-
fused to place themselves on record at
this time because they have not yet had
an opportunity to study the question,
and they said it was too important a
matter to express an opinion off-hand.
Many of the senators, in expressing
themselves, said that their Judgment
was not final and might be reversed
when the matter came before the sem
ate. In nearly every instance in which
senators objected to expressing them
selves they expressed the belief that
something should be done to prevent
any other country from getting control
of the Hawaiian islands, but just
what course was proper they were not
prepared to say. The intimation given
out by the Hawaiian commissioners
that it must be annexation or nothing,
as shown by the poll, has not met with
general approval.
The poll Of the house was taken on
the question of annexation, as this is the
only question on which thot body would
be called upon to pass judgment.
Eighty-three representatives favor,
forty-six are against it and seventy
seven are non-commital. Nearly all Of
the forty-six representatives who re-
fused to place themselves on record
agree that some action should be taken,
but they do not know just what action
should be.

The \ exas Governor Talks About the
Paris Outrage.


Paris Outrage.
AUSTIN, Feb. S.-A message concern
ing the burning Of the negro Smith at
Paris, has been prepared by Governor
Hogg for submission to the legislature,
in which he says: st, becomes my
painful duty to emphasize to you the
necessity of taking some steps to pre-
vent mob violence in Texas. Brushing
away all sentiment, which should never
accompany punishment for crime, the
crime committed at Paris is disgrace
to this state; its atrocity, inhumanity
and sickening effect on people at large
can be obscured by reference to the pre-
vious act Of the culprit himself in
brutally taking the life of an innocent
child. For his deel, the death penalty
awaited him under the laws. The inn
putation that he could not have been
legally executed in any court in this
state is a SANDER upon the integrity of
every citizen. The contention that the
executioners who purposely murdered
him can neither be indicted nor tried in
the county where that crime was COM
mitted is
A Pretensc and a MOckery.
$50 the condition exists in our state
that while one man can be convicted of
murder, a hundred men who publicly
commit murder cannot be. The laws,
therefore, without further legislation
may be held in defiance in any COM
munity where the forces are strong
enough to overawe the local officers and
set aside the legal machinery of Justice.
Our constitution is.not SO hide-bound
that this condition must continue. Will
the legislature stand by and let this con-
dition remain undisturbed, unchanged
any longer? Ihope not. There is no
higher obligation resting on the legisla-
tive departm ent than to have constitu-
tional guarantees for the protection of
life, liberty and property respected and
obeyed. If taxation becomes necessary
to raise funds by which this may be
done, / advise your honorable bodies to
lay it OIL and make the people pay it to
the full extent necessary"

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The advocates
in the house Of a repeal of the Sherman
law have held conference. A resolu-
ton was adopted declaring that it hav-
ing been discovered that majority of
the house is in favor of a repeal of the
Sherman silver bullion purchase act, it
had therefore been decided 70 abandon

Democrats to sign cloture petition,
and the fight will be made on the floor
of the house, where all the friends of
honest money. whether Democrats or
Republicans, might join in the attempt

CHARLES CITY, Ia, Feb. s.-Professor
Clement L. Webster, of this city, a
noted arch@ologist and geologist, has
returned from his extended researches
and explorations among the ancient
cliff dwellers' ruins of Mexico, New
Mexico and other portions of the South
west. He has made many exceedingly
valuable discoveries among their ancient
ruins of the greatest Importance and
interest to archRologists. He has se-
cured from the ancient cliff dwellers,
mainly in the Mogollon mountains,
of Southwestern New Mexico, many
finely preserved articles of their
clothing, sandals, basket work, mats,
tow, twines, cords, and artistically
painted and ornamented pottery,
ancient stone mills, and valuable COL
lection of stone implements, weapons
and utensils, once used by these strange
and mysterious people. In one Of their
great cone dwellings was discovered a
weaving room. with portions of the
ancient loom, together with consider
able quantity Of finely preserved woven
fabrics, cloths. etc.
The greatest discovery which the pro-
fessor made, however, was that of a
perfectly preserved cliff dweller's
mummy Never before has discovery
Of this kind or Importance been made
among the records of this strange and
mysterious prehistoric race. This
mummy, which is that of child Of
apparently Z years of age, was discov-
cred in a cliff dwelling on the Rio Gila,
in the Mogollon mountains. The body
is in remarkable state of preservation.
Professor Webster contemplates having
his valuable collection of cliff dweller
relics on exhibition. at the worlds fair.
