Offensive TO the Londonsrs.

LONDON, England, April 15.-The
county council has rejected resolu-
tion suggesting that an effort be made
to relieve the congested condition Of
the foot traffic in the center OF the city
by posting notices in the principal
thoroughfares requesting pedestrians
to '.keep to the right" The speak
ers In opposition took theground that
such notices might do very well in
provincial towns, or in those cities OF
the United States where the people
move so fast as TO tumble over one
another, but that they would be an
offense in the nostrils of the aristocratic
and educated Londoners. The coun-
Gil took the same ground, and vetoed
the proposition.

an event of which little cognizance is

resanting the national light infantry,
of Pottsville.the Ringgold light artil-
lery of Reading, the Allen infantry, OF
Allentown, and the Logan guard, of
Lewiston. OF the total number less
than 100 still survive, and those are
organized into the first defenders
association. As many of these az can
be gotten together will, this evening,
celebrate the anniversary with q re-
union.
President Lincoln issued his proc
lamation on the 18th of April. The
same day.. the officers of the companies
named reported at Harrisburg with
their men, and on the following morn
ing, having been mustered Ia, they
boarded train on the Northern Gen.
trail and started for Baltimore. Here
they were attacked while marching |
through the city. i
Three days later, the Sixth Massa.
chusetts regiment followed them, and \
the riot that occurred on that day in
Baltimore occupies conspicuous place
in history.

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
Alarmists Say That Those at Daw.
son Will BE Sure to

st. Michaels, Oct. 4.-Via Victoria, Oct.
lS.-Are hundreds of men and women GO
ing to starve to death along The Yukon
this winter?
The alarmists say yes.
Could the river program have been car
ried out there would havc been enough
food in Dawson for everybody.
But now, what?
The steamers could not get through.
Much food intended for Dawson had to
be cached and ~warchoused many miles
way. Estimates of the number of peo-
pie in and around Dawson vary widely
from $500 to 5000.
"What can a man pull through on?" /
asked Joe Carroll. who had been mining
all over Alaska sever or eight years.
"A man needs at least 1000 pounds to
winter him in good condition." was the re-
ply: "but il it comes to how much will
keep a man from starving. why, he can
get through with 500 pounds, or even
less
The steamers will get to Dawson next
year abou July l. That means hat the
provisions now in the country must last
eight months. say 245 days.
AT various caches below Dawson, out
side of the Russian mission. 1850 miles
from Dawson, and at Andreafski, there
are l.4O0 tons of provisions.
At the Russian mission there are 1850
tons.
On Joe CAROLS starvation estimate,
these 1,40O tons will keep 5000 people from
starvation during the winter.
One thing can be borne in mind by those
who have dear ones in this venturesomc
.land-there has heretofore been no star
walton. Each year howleIs have set up
the same cry. People were going to die
by the hundreds; but nobody died. Many
went hungry. but all pulled through.

time to go. A. L. 1vry. a leading full

Cherokee and Choctaw representatives
in Mexico now. 1t is hoped, though,
that our people will never been driven
from their homes here by the harsh
action of congress. This country is
dear to our people. They bought and
paid for it. The United States pledged
its solemn VOW that it should be the
home of II people for all time, but it
begin to look as if that pledge would
be broken. If we are forced to give up
our lands and government you may be
sure we will place no further depend
ence in anything the United States
may agree to do. but will place our
selves under the protection of a gov
eminent that has some regard for its

Strong attempts are being made to in

At q meeting held at one Of the eX-

The astonishing spectacle was pre-

DR.. Forinento said that house Guaran-

tried, had been found wanting and had
to be removed.
The vast SUMS spent in paying guards
would better &c to take care of the rov-

A VERY BIG FLOW OF WATER

Williams Holding Forth
MT Huron.

Sturgis, Oct. 20.-Again the question
of abandoning Fort Meade is being agi-
tated. 1t is not the first time, but
there is on this occasion n reported
decision from General Miles in whose
care the matter has been left, who, it
is reported, has decided to abandon
the fort here. There was a question
which of the two, Fort Robinson or
Fort Meade, should be discontinued,
and the latter was decided upon. The
question being of so much Importance
to this city and surrounding country
the Commercial club wrote Il letter to
Senator Kyle in regard to the matter
and in answer the senator sends a let
ter from Secretary of War Alger. 1t
says: Dear Senator Kyle-1 have
your letter of September q. So far
as my knowledge now goes there is no
movement on foot for the abandon
ment of Fort Meade. | will keep the
matter in mind and if there could be
any effort brought to bear upon the de-
partment TO make this change, yon
may rest assured your state will have
ample opportunity to be heard" Signed
II. a. Alger, secretary of war.
The abandonment of the fort would
be a serious blow to the business of
this town and county. The money
that is annually paid for farm products
and Woo is considerable. Just why
General Miles should see fit to abandon
this fort in preference to some other
is not known but the people of the
Black Hills very surely see the need Of
the fort remaining where it is. The
fact that the Black Hills was the last
place and the favorite place of the In
dams would lead one to expect that
in east of another outbreak they
would attempt TO get possession of
this coveted spot and Il fort placed
where this one is would be needed.
