Buffalo Bill says there never was such

fighting in the entire army, and Cody
has great respect for all OF the officers
and men of the army. for he has
served with a number OF commanders
on eventful campaigns. He would say
nothing derogatory of any officer, but
he has unbounded admiration for Gen
eral Miles.
The Nez Perces chief, Joseph, who
was one OF the greatest OF Indian lead

General Miles, however, followed him

The annual meeting of the High
Line Canal Company was held in
Rocky Ford last Monday. The pro-
ceedings gave evidence of the fact
that the business Of the company
had been well managed during the
past year and that it is now in
very prosperous condition.
At the time of the meeting a
year ago the company was in debt
to the amount of 81, 500. During
the year all debts have been paid
and there is at present a balance
OF SIoo. 10 in the treasury. The
total collections were SII,452.
The directors, on this showing,
decided to reduce the annual as
sessments on the land watered by
the ditch from SO cents to IS cents
per acre.
The directors also authorized
the action that has heen under con-
sideration for procuring additional
water rights at cost of $40, 900.
All this is practically arranged for
at this time. The company ditch
is 7o miles long, and supplies
water to az, 900 acres. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were elected di-
rectors: w. A. Colt, G. M. Hall,

1t Gives the correspondence BE-
tween France and Great Britain.
London, Oct 9.-The foreign office has
issued Fashoda blue book giving the
correspondence between the French and
British governments.
1t dates from December. 1897, and tends
to show that France had consistently
aimed to avoid armed conflict with the
British in North Africa, and that Great
Britain and steadily and persistently
planned to demonstrate and enforce her
sovereignty of the Upper Nile.
On Sept. 25, still following the blue book.
the sirdar reported the results of his ex-
pedition to Fashoda, fully confirming the
announcements already cabled to the As
sociated Press, indicating the fact that
Gen. Ktcheners arrival there had pre-

prepared to resist the hosting of the
Egyptian flag, but he maintained that he
had orders from the French government

On the departure of the British forces
Gen. Kithener notified Maj Marchand in
writing that all transportation of war

NJ. NIELINE's WARNING.
Agitation and Unrest VIII Finally
Exhaust France.

Epinal, France, Oct 9.-Julee Meline,
the premier of the French ministry, pre-
ceding the present government of NJ. Bris-
son, and who presided at banquet of the
Association of Railway Employees here
last evening, uttered a serious warning
against the agitation and unrest In France,
class troubles and strikes.
Referring to the 'divided state Of So
ciety, the violence of polemics and the
sectarian spirit displayed in politics. he
said it was impossible to see France thus
torn by factions and devoured by political
passions, while daily the principle of au-
thority was undermined, the army was
weakened and the Institutions upon which
rested the security of the nation were
shaken without thinking of that open
ing in the vcsges through which an in
vading army could pass or without
thinking of some unforeseen temptation
being offered to the foreigners"
The adversaries of France, however, had
no need to declare war, said M. Meline.
They were content to await the exhaus-
ton of France.

INDIANS IN FAVOR or PEACE.
A Party of Bear Islanders Encampe6
Near the agency.

Walker Mimi, Oct 9.-When the troops
reached the agency they found that the
friendly Indians had maintained a picket
line covering the whole line of woods
which surround the settlement AS many
as fifty Indians have done picket duty,
Now that the troops are on the grounds
these formal preparations for defense viii
probably be abandoned but there will be
Indian scouts out all the time ready to
bring prompt warning OF anything that
looks dangerous. Tt Is said by those who
know them that these agency indians
would not hesitate TO kin a hostile as
quickly as would soldier
Last night Mah-Ge-Gay-Bow one of tho
head men of the Bear Island Indians, a.
rived on the agency point with twenty
seven canoe loads of the Bear Islanders
comprising those of them who are for
peace
There were rs or 100 in the party, men
women and children. They meut into camp
about five miles from the agency and
Mah-Ge-Gah-Bow called on Gen. Bacon
at once. He said that he had tod the
hostiles on the island that he could not so
with them. that he and his friends were
for peace with the white men, and that
they were going to the agency
IAN right said the hostiles laconically,
tell them what We are doing" and they
allowed Mah-Ge-Gah-Bow to depart in
peace.
When the old man was pressed as to the
number of the hosti.es. their present
whereabouts and their intentions for the
future, he said: Il don't know anything
more about it,"
He did say that so far as he knew none
of the hosules were killed in the fight. but
they all say thar. AS to how many In
dams We're actually on the war path, the
agency Indians are disposed to hold the
number down to something under 100, and
many of them say that there are not more
than twenty-five or thirty

PLANS or THE FILLAGERs.
They VIII Attempt to Drive ont All
the Troops.


Walker MINI. Oct. 9-It is reported to-
night on the authority of citizen who
has conversed with a hostile Pillager In
dian. one who was in Wednesdays bat
tie. and who has sat in all the councils
OF the Pillagers, that the Indians haVe
sworn to an agreement to accomplish II
possible the following:
They will attempt in a few days to drive
away the troops already there.
They will, if they are successful an the
above, not allow any United States au-
thorites or United States troops thereafter
TO land upon the reservation. If troops
land upon a point not Inhabited by the
hostile Indians an attempt Will be made
to drive them off as soon as possible.
The man who gave this information, Is
believed to be thoroughly reliable. He had
an extended conference with Gen. Bacon
tonight.
That the Indians have been gathering
for several days Is a well known fact, ana
il seems perfectly reasonable to suppose
that they are gathering for an attack up
on a body OF troops al least 200 strong, as
those at the agency are. Up to date the
hostile Indians have made no attacks up
on white settlers. There are no indications
that they will do so and this bears out
The fact that they will confine their hostil-
lilies to the reservation alone.

who was wanted In Louisville for murder
and burglary, and his girl, Hattie Maho-

rowing down the Ohio river in a sklff.
Word had been sent along the river by

Oaicers from Owensboro we're in pursuit

When detected at burglary in Louisville
he killed the officer that caught him.
When the officers came upon him, Clark
and the girl both opened fire in desperate
resistance. Clark was well armed and the
girl, also. Both Clark and Hattie Ma
honey were shot dead IN the fight that
ensued and the escape OF the officers was
most miraculous.

SITUATION MORE oMINOUs.
An hOther Conference Held, But with
out Satisfactory Results.

Minneapolis MINI, oct. "A special to
the Tribune from its staff correspondent
al Walker says:
"The situation tonight is more omlnous
than ever At the agency tonight coun-
eli was held between the Indians, Gen. Ba-
con, Col. Harbach, Indian Agent Suther-
land and Marshal O'Connor. The result Of
the conference was not in any way unlike
those previously held except In the fact
that not one Of the leading men of the
different bands was present
There were, however, representa- tlves
present from Bear Island, Cass Lake, OF
ter Tail Point and Pine Point, but none
of these has any influence with the tribes
men, The only conclusion to be drawn Is
that the leaders of the different bands sent
men there merely as stool pigeons" and
that others Of their number are now pre-
pairing for the war path.
"A most significant fact is this: Satur-
dav. thirty canoe loads Of Bear Island In
dams and their families processing to be
peaceful, arrived at the agency. To day
every one OF the bucks in the party left,
but where they have gone Is only to be
