Outbreak is Threatened
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHEYENNE, Dec. l6.-Trouble is ex-
pected on the Shoshone reservation
from the the efforts made by Capt. Ray,
the military agent to suppress immor-
ality and polygamy among the Indians.
few weeks ago he had a number OF
Indian maidens, who insisted on visit.
ing the post on pay day arrested and
sent back to their lodges with their
heads shaved. This is considered the
greatest inGignity among the Shoshones
and Arapahoes and they were in bad
humor when last week the captain
called number of the chiefs before
him and ordered them to dispense with
all their wives but one.
Plenty Bear, the war chief of the
Arapahoes, who has two squaws with
whom he has lived for many years said
be was too old to change his habits and
would die before he would obey such
orders. Raising his Winchester he
said, "We will both die together" Ray
ordered him arrested but the Indian
police refused to obey him and Plenty
Bear left the meeting very angry.
Washakie, chief of the Shoshones il
also polygamist and his arrest has
been ordered. He is guarded by q
number of Shoshones who say they
will not allow his arrest. If attempted
an outbreak is certain.

Blair, Stone, Pickler, Cannon and

Livingston replied that the sole pur-
pose of the administration was to

dishonored them.

A Democratic Proposal to Make
Every Postoffics Receptacle for :;
Personal spite and Venom.

| By the Associated Press.
WARRINGTON, Dec. 16.-The debate
over the pension policy OF the adminis-
tration growing out OF an item in the
urgent deficiency fund of the appropri-
alton bill appropriating 100000 for
special examiners, consumed the en-
tire day in the house. Under the lead,
of Cannon an assault was made against
Cleveland's pension policy, especially
that portion which resulted in the re.
vocation of order 1874 and the subse,
quent cutting off of thousands of pen-
sioners.
Livingstone OF Georgia, and Enloe Of
Tennessee, defended the ad administration
and Lacey of Iowa, and Morse of Massa-
chusetts, opposed. Breckenridge took
the foof and explained that the bill
contained appropriations amounting to
81, ,651 1853, the only item antagonized
being the appropriation ofs$20O, 900 for
special pension examiners.
Touching this item Cannon thought
it was time for congress to examine the
manner in which the pension Office
was being conducted. He referred to
the clause in the presidents message,
declaring that every neighborhood had
its fraudulent pensioners. He reviewed
the action of the department in cutting
off thousands of pensioners. There had
been much allegation of fraud, said he,
but little had materialized on the cross
examination of 235 special examiners
in the department, dozen of whom
were employed to run down these al
legged fraudulent pensioners. y.

All pensions cut off were classed by
the commissioner to the credit OF the
amount saved by the Office. One

had been classified as 100000 saved

actually paid out to pensioners who had
procured pensions by forgery, perjury

sions. Order 164 was responsible for
much of this magnanimity. Yet, the
present head of the pension depart
ment and the secretary of the interior
now undertook, after this construction
had stood four years and had been ac-
quiesced in by the Democratic house OF
representatives, to reverse that con-
struction.
''It was an act," said he shaking bis
fist omniouslv. ''akin to crime, this in
famous ruling of the administration
that men receiving pensions whose
cases had been proved were stricken

The Life of Miss Mary Y. DOwnes
 Terminated.


 Terminated.
 The wide circle Of friends and aequaint- ances of Miss Mary T. Downes, eldest daughter of the late George M. and Cath crime c. Downes of No. 159 Greenwood street, will be pained to learn of her some what sudden death, which occurred Satur- day evening. The deceased had for some months been suffering from consumption, but no immediate danger of fatal ter mination had been entertained by her fam fly, and 80 the blow fell with crushing sadness on the home circle, where she had been lovingly cared for and watched over during her illness. All that fond mother could do to alleviate her sufferings had been done, and the loved one sank peace fully to sleep surrounded by those she loved and those who loved her. She was called home in the flower of womsnhood, and her death removes one who endeared herself to all her acqusintances as well; one who was always welcome, always cheerful, ever unselfsh and always sincere. Her departure adds one more to the vast army gone before, whose members shall bear hope's tender blossoms into the silent land. She was twenty eight years of age. Her funeral will take place from St. Johns church at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, when @ high requiem mass will be celebrated for the repose of her soul. The entire choir will be in attendance and some superior music will be rendered. She will bs laid at rest in St. Bernard's cemetery by the side of her loved father, who was called away some years ago.
