THE HILL STATUTE.
Ti e Ben H,ll statue will be moved to the
capito. right awav. tbe Senate having th s
moral g concurred in the House resolution
to that effect.
The Senate has accepted the proposition
of the House to el-ict judges f t t.ie Chatta
hoochee and Tallapoosa circuits next
Wednesday.
Of save al bills pas i the most in'erest
ing was the one to pro ib.t the running of
excursion trains o i Sunday under a pen
alty of $5 JO for each county erne ed, the
comuctor and engineer in adiition to be
held guilty of a misdemeanor.
New bibs were i itroduceil to amend sec
tions 1977 and 1978 of the Cod *so as to
maae rent lieisot cr ips superior to ail

colhction out of the crop or the value of
stock furnished croppers; and also a charter
for the Savannah Savings Bank and Mort
gage Company.
TO BE RECONSIDERED.
It is general v regarded ta-night at the
cepitol and ab >ut tue hotel 1 .b <iea that the
Senate’s passage if the bill t >-day prohibit
ing the running of excursion trains on Sun
day, was unwise legislation, it is begin
ning to dawn on many that the act puts
brief summer vaoati ns beyond the reacn of
the poor man. Wiien this poi t was mads
to a senator, in hearing of toe News corre
spondent, his answer was that the bill had
slipped th o.ign. Tne feeling is m favor of
rec>nsiderat.on, and Mr. Eason will be
asked in the morning to yield. The obj-ct
is to aflix an amendment, like that to the
House bill, permit ing second sections of
regular passenger schedules.

FRIENDLY INDIANS IN A PANIC.
A special to the Bee from Pii.e Ridge
agency ta.s: "The Indian police on duty
a few huudr and yards fioni the agei cy

late Sa urduy night ui.d -aid that a panic
in theca up of t e friendly Indians was
inevitable unless they were given protec
tion. All had received an urgent iuvita
tio.i to jun tue hos il-s and go o i the war
path wito them. Agent Royer sent them
tu extra guard <f ii)J armed Sioux, but
even this did little good. The Indian
i illage continued melting away, aud tne
Sabbat i morning revealed the fact tl at
over t a-o-t birds of the 3,000 who were there

MORE RATIONS FOR THE SIOCX.
Washington, Dec. 1. — he Secretary of
the In erior this m nin c directed that the
Sioux In lie s i e supnl e.i avith increased
rations sufficient to conf mm to the agree
ment made in 1877. The appropri lions for
supplies for the --i'.ux have decreased every
y ar, upon the supposition that the Indians
were becoming more and mo e ca able of
maintaining tbemsMves. Owi g, however,
to the par! lal failure of the crops for the
last year o two, and the r. s less ess of the
Sioux, w.iich is believed to bj ii a measure
due to the re Fiction of rations, the secre
tary has ordered a i increase.
MILES FE IS) BLOODSHED.

to ir.q i ies hy a reproient tive of
the Also 'ia ed Press, ha said tnat the Sioux
continued to be very much excited, and
that he feared an outbreak. He said he
re anied the situation as alarmiug, aud he
should has;e i bac t to Cu eago to-night.
He expre-sod a h >pe. however, that the
military would be able to prevent blood
shed.
the news gloomy.

to the age it’s orders ..ave started westward
toward what are k lowa as the Bad Lauda.
In their stampede they have committed
de reflation >o i cabins and tne stock of
