SEE SMALL HOPE
OF BREAKING 1T UP
Watchers of Illinois Senatorial Fight
believe Deadlock Will Outlast
Session.

Springfield, H., March 29-Some of
the most optimistic watchers of the
senatorial situation at Springfield,
among them men who have declared
again and again that the deadlock
would soon be broken, are filled with
gloomy forebodings and assert that
there is small chance for the deadlock
to be lifted before the end of the
session. The failure of the opposition
TO Albert J. Hopkins to beat down his
defenses last week was pointed to IN
support of the belief that there are
many days of deadlock in sight for the
general assembly. Those who took the
position that the expected bolt TO
Governor Deneen which failed to ma
terialize last Wednesday demonstrated
that the governor and not Mr.. Hopkins
really controls the Hopkins forces, can
see no rallying point on which the
antiHopkins men and the friends OF
Governor Deneen- can unite.

they have not forgotten the electoral
earthquake of 1890, which engulfed
the republican party in ruin and sub

Report Interesting in View of
Missouri Verdict -

Springfield ILL.,, March 29.-Under

ing to figures in the annual report of

miscellaneous items ran the aggregate

Indians I'm Full Retreat.
Oklahoma City, Okla. March 20
One hundred creek Indians, half
breeds and negroes under the per-
sonal command of Chief Crazy Snake,
were early today retreating before
five companies of determined Okla
homa militiamen in an effort to reach
a stronghold in Tiger mountains and
make a final stand against the troops.
Reach Abandoned Camp.
The militiamen, ordered out yes
terday by Governor Haskell as a re-
suit of the uprising that came after
a clash at the home of Crazy Snake
in which Marshal Baum and Deputy
Sheriff were killed, camped for the
night at Hickory Hills, the camp
which had been hastily evacuated by
Crazy Snake at their approach. AT
break of day they moved forward to
give battle to the redskins.
Fears Fight In Open.
Meanwhile the chief, through the
agency of his sleepless scouts,-had
led his forces away, apparently not
daring to fight while the foes were
in the open. The militiamen at this
juncture pushed forward at double
quick. The Indians were 10 miles
away from them, but they determined
that the redskins should not be al
lowed to choose the battle-ground!
and thus gain an enormous advan
tage. The troops outnumber the In
dians three to one and the officers
knew that, could the opposing force
meet in the open, there could be onl!
one outcome. The Indians woulC

Being Rapidly Overhauied.
At the progress they were making
the troops were in a fair way to over
haul the Indians, shortly after nool
and force them to fight under condi

Night passed without any undu
alarms after the soldiers had hi
vouacked at the Indians foresake
camping grounds. Firing was hear
here and there, but this was due t
restless rowing bands of negroes an
halfbreeds.

The Indians themselves kept close
ly within their camp between tn

Ready for Surrender.
The halfbreeds and negroes, owe
awed at the unusually active mea

flight or complete surrender. The
propositions Crazy Snake contemp
uously refused. He said all tho
who feared might go at once, b
