General Miles said this morning t. lint ho would go in a day or two ti direct the military arrange-ments in the Indian country. Tho gen-eral said bo had nverwhelmning evidence that the Indians had been suffering for w ant of food for two year and it was one of the principal causes of the disuffeetion. One of t ho objects of his visit to Washington was to urge, the necessity of an imme-diate relief order sent from the iuterior department to the Indian agents, in-structing them during the Indian troubles to obey orders of the military otrieer commanding the troops ou the reservation.

The Indians hail been sutTcriug for years in silence. There has been blood guiltiness somewhere in connec-tion wi' hit. This condition of things had been brought about by a nig-gardly, parsimonious or dishonest policy he knew not which. Senator Pierce of North Dakota said hatt he had sometimes wondered that the w hite people in that region did not themselves go on the warpath because they were hungry. The iudinns seemed to get nolde, as well as hungry, the further people got away from them. H (Pierce) lived within a few miles of the great Sioux reservation. He saw In-dians every day in the town where lie lived, and they were sleeker and better fed, apparently, than the senator from Indiana. Voorhees said he would take tha statement of General Miles far sooner than that of a 8 'tiator who lived near tho reservation and who, with the peo-ple, wanted to get the Indian lands as soon as possible. One was a reliable ollicer; the other was the fox, lying around the pen where the geese were, waiting to get some of them. Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, it is said, will urge that tho government furnish the Indians with oxen instead of ponies. He says that they have been given ponies for farm work but have never used them except as saddle ani- - j mals. Mounted on an ox an Indian would not cut much of a figure as a warrior but could plough all he wanted to. The joint resolution was again talfen up this morning and Ilawley urged the necessity of prompt action. Voorhees quoted an interview with Governor Foster, of Ohio, of the com- - missiou toitreat with the Sioux, in which Foster said the whola trouble was due to the fact that the Indians were starving. Giv them enough to cat, he taid, aud there j would be no further trouble. After a long discussion the resolution passeii. Then the election bill was taken up and Pugh addressed the senate in op-position to it. SILVER AND LEAD QUOTATIONS, y y Silver, Now York S104I Lead, rk , Sl.tiO Knit Lake t Icrlng- Hiuie.

After the meeting had been called to order one of the members read a mani-festo issued yesterday by the Catholic hierarchy in Ireland, declaring that in cousequence of the revelations of the O'Shea divorce case, which convict Parnell of one of the gravest offenses known to religion, and society, the Catholic of Ireland cannot accept as a leader a man wholly dishonored; that his continuance in the leadership would imperil the cause of Irelaed.

MR. BACON TALKS. ABOUT THE RAPID TRANSIT RAIL-WA-COMPANY. The Jaryls-Conkli- n People Hare a Ills I'ocket of the Stork, Hut President Macon is too Husy to iiv. the Matter all His Time. "Mr. Bacon, did you road the street railway article of Mr. Upham's in the papers this morning," asked a Tim Kg representative of the president of the American National bank. 'Yes," replied the gentleman. "The article statel that your friends Jarvis and Coniclin have such a small intorest in the street railway that you didn't pay much attention to it," con-tinued the newspaper man. "Mr. Upham is mistaken as to that," resumed Mr. Baoqn. "Jarvis and (Jonklin are amoiig Jt!,eirlBrgest stock-holders in the company, and while my personal holding of Uhe stock is com-paratively light, I feel a great interest in the welfare of the company. 1 have had so much other business of much greater pi rsonal importance to me of late that 1 have no ,ieen able to de-vote very much tii a' i'o the street rail-way. Being only one of four resident directors and two of tho other three devoting their entire attention to the railway matter 1 have depended ou them for the management of the road. Mr. Upham submitted tho proposition to me concerning the tracks ou Second South, which I at once for-warded to niv associates in Kansas City. We think they ought not to parallel us on Second South and for that reason hope that Dooly's injunction will be sustained. If tile courts hold that the Kapid Transit has a legal right to para-llel our tracks on Second South it will be time enough then for the two com-panies to negotiate with each other as to the manner of occupying the street." CUT II1S LEGS OFF. A SHOCKINC ACCIDENT OCCURS AT 2 A. M. ON THE R. C. W. Vomiir Aldred of Provo I ndertakes to Hoard a Mnrlnjr Freight and Pays a Ilorrllde Penalty for ills Hash and Insane folly, Reports arrived in railway' circles this morning of a shocking and proba-ble fatal accident in Spanish Fork canyon, by which a young man promi-nently connected in Provo sustained the loss of both limbs at or near the knee. It was impossible to learn more than that his name was Allred, and that he has been a resident of that picturesque and prosperous little city for some time. As near as can be ascertained the un-fortunate fellow was in the locality where he has been prospecting, and had occasion to go to Provo for some explosive with which to continue work. There was no station at convenient dis-tance but the trains generally slack up along this stretch, and the young fellow trusted to his knowledge of railroading to swing him-self aboard. Tho regular freight finally appeared in sight and squaring himself he prepared for the leap. He had overrated his skill, how-ever, and instead of lifting himself with the ladder the big wheel seized his limb and dragged him down into its devour- - ing path. Tho shrieks of the young feilow aroused the trainmen who cheeked the freight and going back they found him in terrible agony beside the' track. He presented a frightful condition ami reciting his story was taken back to Provo. ANOTIIKIt FKKK COINAliE P.ILI,, Introduced In the Senate hy Stewart This Morning. Washington. Dec 4.

The immediate occasion for the raid was an effort to garrote James Dye as he came from Parker's back entrance at 11 o'clock last nigtit and started through Tun Times alley to Commercial. He had been in the resort indulging in a game of billiards and on settling exposed his cash to the skulking horde who peered from the dim-li- t recesses of the room.

ILVM PANT FARM ERS THE ALLIANCE TAKES UPON ITSELF TO DENOUNCE THE LODCE BILL. The Old Spirit of the South P.rieadiers Shows Through the Proceedings of yesterday's S.silon Some-thing of a Sensation. Ocai.a, Fia., Dec. 4. The sensation of the session of the farmers' alliance was when President Livingston of the Georgia alliauce arose to a question of privilege, and denounced as infamously false tho insinuations in certain news-papers, aimed at Dr. Macune and him-self, and eveu at President Polk, in connection with tho recent senatorial contest in Georgia. W. G. McAllister, of Mississippi, in-troduced a. preamble and resolution, setting forth that the president of the United States, in his annual message, recommends and urges tho iiiimedate passage of the Lodge election bill; that said bill involves a radical revolution in the election machinery of the Union aud its passage will be fatal to the auto-nomy of the states and tho cherished liberties of the citizens; that said bill is partisan in spirit and will be partisan in application, thus revitaliving the hoary ghost of sectional estrangement; that in holy water the Alliance has de-clared against sectionalism. The fire-sides of the farmers of the north, east, south and west are the eitidels around which the heaviest battles are being fought and to the end that victory may crown the crusade and fraternity and unity reign, be it Krsnivo'l. Hy the National Farmers' Allianee and li uastrcil t'litmi of America.

After some debate this resolution was adopted. Tlio alliauce this morning received the national colored alliance into the body. The visit was one of fraternal greetings and introduction. General John H. Rice of Kansas is drawing up a call to the farmers' alli-ances and all industrial unions of Amer-ica, which favor the St. Louis platform, to meet at Cincinnati February 5;ld to consider tho formation of a third party. MORMONS SHUT OUT. Judge Anderson Decliues to Naturalize Them in Spite of the Manifesto. Beaveh. Utah, Dec. 4. Judge Ander-son has refused to naturalize seven per-sons becauso they are members of the Mormon church. In his decision he says that each of the seven applicants is a man of good moral character ex-cept that he is a Mormon. Last winter, after a full investigation, the Third dis-trict court of Utah decided that a mem-ber of the Mormon church, no matter how good his moral character was otherwise, was not lit to become a citi-zen. Until the issuance of what is known as tho manifesto the courts of this territory have followed that decis-ion. Since then the First and Third district courts have not made the fact membership in that church a test in the naturalization of aliens. I am sorry that I cannot agree with these decis-ions. The manifesto is very carefully worded. Wilford Woodruff, the presi-dent of the church says: "My advice to tho Saints is that you should here-after contract no marriage that is con-trary to tho law of the land." This manifesto does not pretend to discard polygamy as one of the cardi-nal doctrines of the church; it only suspends the practice as long as it is contrary to the laws ef the land. Be-for- e the act of 1802 there was no law in this territory against polygamy. If the acts of con-gress against polygamy were repealed, or if Utah should become a state, there would then tie no law against polyga-my, and tho presumption is that the people of this territory would make no law against it. and the chiefs of the Mormon church would then be at lib-erty to renew their mandates to their members to enter into polygamy, and it would then thrive in full bloom. There would not be a syllable in this manifesto against it. Polygamists when convicted have al-ways been honored by all the members of the Mormon church, and ou going to aud returning from the penitentiary were given ovations. The church cre-ated a defense fund, employed attor-neys to defend polygamists and who are still employed for that purpose. The position of the church in those matters is unchanged. An alien who comes to this country and joins such an organization should never ask to a citizen. BURIED IN THE DEBRIS. Fifteen Men Lose Their Life Through a ' Furnace Explosion. Joi.iet, Dec. 4.

The Man Lost His Lire While Trying to Ilesoue His Wife From the Hungry Flames Many Had Narrow Ktfcapes. PiTT.siii KG, Dec. 4. About 1 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the flat owned by Dr. Dickson. The lower part is occupied as a drug store. Two bodies have been taken out of the build-ing, those of Mrs. Irvine, the janilress, and her husband. It was nearly 8 o'clock before the fire was subdued. No more bodies were found, and all tho occupants are accounted for. There were about forty, and many had narrow escapes.
