The anti-foroe bill republican* know
that the democrats are ready to vote at any
time in iavor o£ an Y proposition against
the force bill, and the democrats kno ,v that

WHAT WILL REED DO?
The question on which discussion is be
coming heated is, as to what Speaker Reed
will do, be ause this answers the question as to
what the House will do.since Mr. Heed is still
on hand for purposes of obstruction in the
Rouse. Speaker Reed can smother the bill
if be will, but will he? The only political
reason whv he should is that it will relieve
the Presider.t from the embarrassment of
having to offend the eastern or western
wing of bis party by passing favorably or
unfavorably upon it. The President’s alter
native would, it is thought, involve his re
nomination, with the chances against him.
Whatever his decision might be, Speaker
Reed will, of course, oppose a free coinage
bill, but it wlil take extraordinary arbitra
raii.ess on his part to keep it from the Presi
dent.
reed’s presidential bee.
He is a presidential candidate himself,
and since the President preferred Secretary
Blaine’s candidate for collector of Portland,
has not been thought to be in love with Mr.
Harrison. But their relations are still suffi
ciently friendly to permit the President to
tender, and the speaker to accept, an invita
tion to dine at the wnite house, so that the
sneaker may take magnanimously upon bis
shoulders the responsibility which the Presi
dent would rather not have just at this
time.
THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.
(By the Associated Frets.)
Washington, Jan. B.—The finance bill
was taken up in the Senate this noon, aid
Hr. Stewart asked unanimous consent that
a vote should be taken on the bill and
amendments at 4 o’clock Saturday.
Mr. Gorman expressed his surprise at the
proposition. The amendment offered to
toe bill by the senator from Nevada ( Mr.
Stewart) had been described by the senator
from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) as one of the
most revolutionary measures introduced in
congress, and that senator had said
that if the amendment was agreed to
tiia whole financial structure of the country
would probably be overturned. If the
senator from Ohio were correct in that
matter the senators ought to have time to
deliberate; time to ascertain what was
necessary to be done. On the other hand,
the senator from Nevada (Mr. Stewart) had
stated in the most empbatlo way that the
recommendations of the senator from Ohio
to the committee on finance were more de
structive to the interests of the people than
any proposition ever presented.
If either of those senators were right—he
trusted they were both wrong—the Senate
ought to have time to weigh and consider
the matter. There ought to be some time to
deliberate. There ought to be a disposition
on both sides of the chamber to come
together and consider the matter calmly
aadcarefully, without regard to party.
STEWART STILL IN A HURRY.
Sir. German’s suggestion, but thought that
““ e subject had been much discussed, the
senate ought to fix a time for taking a

SUBSIDY 6KIRM S3ING.
Fithlan Opposes and Groevenor gup
port) the Bill.
Washington, Jan. In the House to
day Mr. Cutcheon of Michigan moved that
the House go into committee of the whole
for the consideration of the army appropri
ation bill. This motion was defeated, and
the House went into committee of the whole
on the shipping bill. An effort to secure
limitation or the debate failed, and the de
bate proceeded.
Mr. Fithian of Illinois opposed the meas
ure and inveighed against the system of
subsidies. He then proceeded to argue in
favor of the free shin policy and a polioy of
abolishing restrictive navigation lews as
the bast means of restoring the American
flag to its proper place upon the sea.
England had adopted that policy, ami the
result was that she now commanded 52 per
cent, of the tonnage of the world.
Mr. Wheeler of Michigan spoke briefly in
faver of the bill.
SHOULD NOT BE A PARTY QUESTION.
Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio said that it would
have been fortunate if this question could
have been considered from the standpoint
of American citizeuship and American busi
ness wisdom and integrity. It was un
fortunate for a question of this character
that it should be launched upon the H use
by an assault upon one of the great political
parties of the oountry.
GROSVENOR PROVES INSINCERE.
Mr. Grosvenor said that the opposition to
it had been based on the ground that it was
a republioan measure. Why should that be
so* It was the purpose of a bill like this to
And a market for the products of American
labor, which had been produced uuder the
benign influence of a protective tariff. So
this bill was a proper corollary of the Mc-
Kinley tariff bill. One built up American
products: the other furnished the means of
transporting it to foreign markets. Rending
the oonciusion of Mr. Grosvenor’s remarks
the committee arose, and the House ad
journed.
TURNER’S ALLEGED BRIBE.
Ingalls Chuckles Over the Publication
of the Letter.
Washington, Jan. B. —Republican Rep
resentative Turner of Kansas did not put in
an appearance at the oapitol to-day, but he
was much talked of in his absence. If the
letter in which a bid is made for the Kansas
senatorship at $5,000 is genuine he has a
considerable a inpunt of explaining to do.
It is believed that he will rise to a question
of personal privilege and make some sort of
defense. Representative Anderson of Kan
sas said that from what he know of Repre
sentative Turner he thought ho did not
really mead to offer a bribe, if the letter is
genuine, but that he was not careful enough
in expressing himself. Representative
Funstou said he oouid not say whether or
not Representative Turner "had written
the letter, but it was a pretty bad
lookiug thing. Ho did not think
It would have any effect upon the
senatorial fight. He thought the republi
cans couid not afford to desert Senator In
galls at any cost. They would have to
stand by him or fall with him. It would,
he said, be Senator Ingalls or no republican
Senator Ingalls chuckled with delight at
the efforts of two of bis republican rivals,
Messrs. Turner aad Perkins, both members
of the House, to undermine him.
M’GRATH TO BE IMPEACHED.
Topeka, Jan. B. —Steps have been taken
looking to tho impeachment of r ran It
McGrath, president of the Kansas Farmer,’
Alliance, who is accused of being a party
to the alleged scheme to elect J. E. Turner,
republican congressman from the Sixth
district, to the United States Senate. The
matter will be brought before a special ses
sion of the executive board of the alliance
which is to be convened in this city next
week. This b ard crisists of
five men. with McGrath as chairman.
State Senator Coddiug, who is also alleged
to be in the supposed deal with McGrath, is
also a member of the board. McGrath sent
a copy of a letter to the public and corre
spondent of the Associated Press
this evening, in which he denies
knowing anything of the authorship
of the letter. In it McGrath says: “If
this letter was written by Mr. Turner he is
the prince of fools, and had no authority,
right or encouragement that I would con
sider for one instant his or any
other man’s interests that did
not insure the following qualifications
for his position. He must be a farmer, an
allianceman and have worked for the suc
cess of the people’s party during the last
campaign.”
McGrath adds that he believes the letter
signed with Mr. Turner’s name to be a
forgery. McGrath courts an investigation,
and has calkd a meeting of the farmers’
alliance and People’s party le-mers to look
into the matter. The meeting is to be held
tomorrow afternoon.
OHIO’S BALLOT-BOX FORGBRY.
Ihe Lon fir-delayed Report of the Com
mittee to be Presented.
Washington, Jan. B.—To-morrow or
next day the long-delayed report of the
special committee on the Ohio ballot-box
forgery will be submitted to the House. It
was ready some time ago, but has been de
layed by various causes until now. One
cause was Cnairman Mason’s desire to put
it off so us to hurt his friend Foraker as
little as possible. The five members of the
committee agreed in their findings of facts,
as they could not help doing, the
testimony being so plain. Messrs. Cogswell
and Biruble, republicans, and Messrs.
Turner of Georgia and Wilson of West Vir
ginia? add to these findings the necessary
moral lesson which Foi aker needs but will
not heed. Chairman Mason refused to sign
this because of its reflections on his friend.
A POOR SHOW FOR SUBSIDIES.
The Bill Before the House Will Proba
bly bo Beaten.
Washington, Jan. B.— The subsidy seek
ers were discouraged to-day by the failure
of their effort to limit the debate and come
to a vote on the subsidy bill. Representa
tive Blount’s clever management, with the
assistance of Representative Wheeler of
Alabama, a convert from subsidy seeking
since the last session, when be was actively
and zealously pushing the subsidy bill,
checkmated Replug ntative Farqubar and
the rest, so that after wasting several hours
in ineffeotual votes tiiey were obliged to
give up and let tho debate run. It will
probably go on until some day next week,
and then the subsidy bill will probably be
beaten.
Nominated for Postmasters.
Washington, Jan. B.— The President to
day nominated to be postmasters: Laura A.
Wilder, of Forsyth, Ga.; Martin A. Fritz,
of Lexington. Miss.; Thompson 8. Brown,
of Waynesborough, Va.
SAVANNAH, GA., FRIDAY', JANUARY' 9. 1891.
LIEUTENANT SHOT DOWN.
THE BULLET FIRED FROM BEHIND !
BY AN CGALLOLLA
The Body Subsequently Found Stripped
But Not Mutilated-The Indians on
the Fort Hill Reservation in Idaho j
Rush to the Mountains With Their
Arms.
Boise City, Id., Jan. B.—Advices received
from Pocatello, Id., state that the Indians
on the Fort Hail reservation have been
dancing, and 200 in war paint have taken to
the mountains with their arms, oausing
great excitement Gov. Wiley has been
asked to order the militia to Pocatello, and
probably a company of the United States
cavalry at Boise barracks will be sent there.
The Indians ou the reserve number 1,300 or
1,500, more thau half of whom are Ban
nocks, who caused a prolonged
war twelve years ago. The people
of Pocatello have almost no arms.
Blackfoot and Eagle Rook are ou the border
of the reserve. The Indians who took to
the mountains are working east toward
Wyoming. The belief is expressed that if
the Indiana at Pocatello go on the warpath
they will be joined by the tribes on the
Lemhi reservation, who number 500,
embracing 125 able-bodied bucks.
POCATELLO NOT BURNED.
There is no truth in the report of the
burning of Pocatello. There is considera
ble excitement there and at Blackfoot over
the hoetile attitude of the Bannocks on the
Fort Hall reservation. Gov. Willey has
received the following from Blackfoot:
“A meeting of citizens under a call
of the oommander of toe Grand Army of
the Republic post resolved to communicate
with you and request you to forward to us
immediately fifty guns, with the usual
equipments and ammunition. Danger is
possible aud no arms are available. A per
manent military organization is about to be
perfected.”
Gov. Willey accordingly has just shipped
by express fifty guns aud 3,000 rounds of
ammunition.
SEVENTY BUCKS COME IN.
Washington, Jan. B.—Gen. Schofield
this morning received the following tele
gram from Gen Miles, dated Jan. 8.: “Sev
enty Indians came in from the hostile camp
to-aay. Reports from them say that Red
Cloud, Little Wouud, Two Strike and Big
Road, aud others will come in to-morrow.”
A LIEUTENANT KILLED.
Later Gen. Schofield received another
telegram from Gen. Miles detailing the cir
cumstances of the killing ot Lieut. Casey
by an Indian as follows: "Reports from
Gen. Brooke state that Lieut. E. VV\ Casey
of the Twenty-second infantry was killed
to-day. There have been fighting and skir
mishing on that part of the line for several
days. Lieut. Casey was out with his scouts
watching the hostile camp, nnd with one
Cheyenne met two Indians, an Ogal
lolla and a Brule. The Ogallolla warned
Lieut. Casey that the Bruies were bad and
would shoot. As Lieut. Casey turned to go
away the Brule fired, striking him in the
back of the bead and killing him instantly.
Lieut. Casey was one of the most brilliant
and beloved officers of the service. There
is a report of heavy firing in or near
the hostile ' camp that rnay be
between two elements of the Indian
camp.” Lieut. Casey was a brother of Gen.
Thomas L. Casey, chief of engineers of the
array, and was about 40 years of age. lie
had been in command of a troop ot Chey
enne scoute for about a year, and! was
workingly earnestly in the interest of the
Indians themselves. He had the reputatiou
in the army of possessing an unusually
accurate knowledge of the Indian character.
CASEY GOING FOR A PARLEY. >
Pink Ridge, 8. D., via Rushville. Jan.
B.—Yankton Charlie, one of Buffalo Bill’s
men, now employed as a soout here, brings
the particulars of the murder of Lieut.
Casey of the Twenty-second infantry, of
Gen. Brooke’s command, yesterday, near
the hostile camp. Lieut. Casey had
started out to visit the hostlles
to in .uce the ohiefs to come in to talk with
Gen. Brook e. He passed a small band of
Onailollas, who were butchering, and pro
ceeded further, followed, however, by two
of the Indiana, who appeared to be friendly.
He was shortly afterward met by Pete
Richards, a son-in-law of Red Cloud, who
had been sent by the latter to warn Lieut.
Casey not to approach nearer the hostiles,
because It was dangerous. Lieut. Casey
said he would ride to the to of a little knoll,
whence he could get a view of the
hotile camp. Richards dissuaded him, and
he and Casey turned around and departed.
Just then Richards heard a shot, and,
turning back, saw Lieut. Casey fall from
his horse. The bullet passed through bis
head. The shot was fired by ths younger
of the two Ogallollas who had followed
Lieut. Casey. Richards would have shot
the murderer, but his cartridges did not fit
his gun.
THE BODY RECOVERED.
Pine Ridge, 8. D., Jan. B.—Last night
Gen. Brooke sent out a detachment under
Lieut. Getty to recover the remains of
Lieut Casey. The body wa3 found stripped,
but not mutilated. It "was brought to Oel
richs, whence it will be sent to Fort Keogh,
Mont.
Red Cloud came into the agency this
morning and Gen. Miles appointed an hour
to hold * conference with him. The old man
stepped out of the hostile camp last night,
and, with bis wife, walked sixteen miles to
this place. Gen. Milas is hopeful that his
example will be followed by others.
CoL Kent, inspector ge eral of the de
partment of Dakota, Fifth infantry, and
Col. Baldwin are ascertaining all tha facts
relative to the fight on Wounded Knee
creek. This is r.ot, as he stated, a court of
inquiry. No charges have been made
against Col. Forsythe for bis conduct in
that engagement, nor has he been placed
under arrest.
Gen. Miles’ view of the situation is about
as follows: “There are threo or four hun
dred Indiana in ths hostile camp who are
very wicked, and are trying every way
known to influence the Indians not only to
remain out, but to fight the matter to the
end. On this point they may be mistaken.”
Gen. Miles hopes that the better element
may prevail, and to some extent destroy
those wicked Brueles. On this account he is
exercising patience. So long as there
is a chance of the Indians destroying
each other be feels that he can afford to
wait. Gen. Brooke, from bis camp on White
Clay creek, writes Gen. Miles that ho hew
been notified by the Ogallollas that it was
determined in council to-day that many of
the principal men and chiefs now on that
creek will visit Gen. Miles to-morrow.
POSITION OF THE MILITARY.
The position of the various troops in the
field was changed to-day. and the places
for to-morrow will be as follows: Gen. Carr
will, with nine troops of the Sixth cavalry,
one company of the Seventeenth infantry,
and two Hotchkiss guns, be at the Junction
of Wounded Knee creek and White river.
CoL Offley, with two troops of the Eighth
cavalry and six companies of
tue Seventh infantry, will be
on White river, about four miles southwest
of Big Gross creek. Col. Sanford, with
four troops of the Eighth cavalry, four
companies of the Second infantry and one
Hotchkiss gun. will be at the junction of
White Clay creek and White river. CoL
Wheaton, with four troops of the Ninth
cavalry, four companies of the Second in
fantry and two Hotchkiss guns, will
be on the White river, three miles
north of the lower Lime Kiln creek
and about eight milee from the hostile
camp. Maj. Whitney, with three trooos of
the Ninth cavalry and one company of the
Eighth infantry will be on tYoundod Knee
creek, a short distance from the late bat
tle field. Capt. Ulsley, with four compa
nies of the Seventh cavalry, will be
on the Lower Lime Kiln creek,
four tuilee from its source. The effect of
thae movements will bn to narrow the cir
cle iu which the hostile* are now gathered.
NO CONFERENCE WITH RED CLOUD.
It was expected that Geo. Miles would
hold a conference to-day with Red Cloud,
but the expectation as not realized. Gen.
Miles has decided that he will hold no more
talks with the aged chief, as he htd given
him an ultimatum several days ago to
abandon the hostile* or suffer the oousr
queuce. The arrival 6f the old man is
considered as an evidence of his good faith,
as is also the effort he made io save Lieut.
Casey’s life by warning him of hu dauger.
Red Cloud told of the fight between the
Ogallollas aud Brules. shorty succeeding the
killing of Lieut. Casoy. The former made
an effort to separate from the Brules and
return to the agency. The latter objected,
firing at them a number of shots, all of
which, however, passed over their bends,
no one being injured. This morning about
200 of the Ogallollas succeeded iu forsaking
the Brules, and in a light fall of snow came
into the agency.
Young-Man-Afraid-of-his-Horse,with sev
eral members of his bAnd, returned to-day
from their friendly visit to the Crows, and
were granted an audience by Gen. Miles.
Isaac Miller, cook of the herder camp,
who was brought in yesterday murdered,
was buried to-day.
BUFPALO BILL ARRIVES.
Buffalo Bill, attended by Buoksin Jack,
arrived at noon from Rushville in the face
of a stiff breeze, his Imperial and mustache
coated with ice. He was warmly greeted
by several huudred Indians who thronged
about the sutler'e store end later called upon
Uea. Milas. He bore a letter from
Got. Thayer setting forth Col.
Cody’s connection with the
state militia and assuring Gen. Miles of the
hearty co-operation of tbue state troops. The
latter have extended lines toward Pine
Ridge for ten miles from the towns at which
they are located, and mounted men patrol
between the several companies so that no In
dian may pass through the lines. Gen. Miles
heartily approved of the arrangement.
The wounded, all the squaws and pap
pooses are quartered in the Episoopal
church of the Holy Cross and the Catholic
schoolhouse. One wonun, whose name is
unknown, died to-day. She was shot in
seven places. The chief avrgeon directed
the amputation of one limb. When the
news reached the bucks they protested
loudly against amputation. The operation
was accordingly abandoned, with the above
result. Five more of these creatures, it is
expected, cannot survive. One of them is
the wife of Big Foot, whose command pre
cipitated the tight.
At tho suggestion qf Buffalo Bill,Gen. Miles
to-night sent out scouts to ascertain whojthe
Indians are that have been seen at the head
of Snake river south of Niobrara. Late to
night it is reported to the Associated Press
war correspondent that 300 Indians, said to
be coming in to the agency, are reported in
camp three miles from the agency.” The re
port has been verified.
AN EARTHQUAKE AT RUSK.
One Man Thought the Jail Was
About to Collapse.
Rusk. Tex., Jan. B.— At 12 o'clock last
night this town and its vicinity experienced
at least two well-defined shocks, believed to
have been of a gerious nature. Each
paroxysm was accompanied by a
detonation, _ loud and long, as
if rolling from south to
north. Several chimneys were leveled with
the earth, and sleepers ia various portions
of the town wore shaken into wakefulness.
J. YV. MoCordis, in charge of the county
jail, a very strong structure, declares that
for fully one minute he apprehended the col
lapse of the building, and Thomas Miller
says that the Acme notel was shaken to its
foundation during these disturbances. Thero
was no wind, though a slight rain was fall
ing and some electrical force was prevail
ing, but not of sufficient strength to produce
the 9hook. A few parties here who were
through toe Charleston shocks of I88(i pro
nounce the phenomenon of last night a
genuine earthquake.

The lieutenant governor defied the offioer
and was not taken into custody.
Both sides had a force of

the doors of the House and fought their
vi ay through tho crowd of alliance
tuon guarding the entrance. The
writ wo* served oti the speaker,
a motion to take a recess until 3 o’clock wus
declared carried by the lieutenant governor,
aud the democrats ami republicans filed out
of the hall. The speaker of the House de
clared that no recess nad been taken, and all
the alliance members present remained in
and the others were called in for an attempt
to proceed to the business of the joint ses
sion.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
The proceedings in the afternoon session
were less sensational than in the morning.
Tho mandamus of tho supreme court
sobered the radical alllsncomeii, and n
spirit ot moderation was manifested.
After the republicans and democrats left
the hall, the independents remained during
soma unimportant business, and making an
effort to amend the rules of the Joint con
vention to ui&ku tho sposker of the House
tho presiding officer. Instead of tho lieuten
ant governor. An adjournment was then
taken until 2:30 o’clock. At that
hour the independent* were in their seats,
but transacted no business until the full
body wus present, and the lieutenant gov
ernor called the convention to order. A
number of conciliatory speeches were made,
anil the independents, seeing that they could
not gain their point by instituting a con
test before the canvass of the vote, offered
no further obstruction to business. The
speaker of the House proceeded to open the
returns, and the democratic governor, Mr.
Boyd, and a full republican state ticket,
with one exception, was found elected oa
tho face of the returns.
KICK OF THE ALLIANCEMEN.
A resolution was then passed, receiving the
full alliauco vote, declaring that the canvass
, had bean conducted under protest, and that
the legislature in nowise recognized the
election of the officers who haa been re
turned as receiving the highest number of
votes. The officers, however, were sworn
in promptly by Chief Justice Cobb. Tha
contest will now go on as prescribed by law.
There is a prospect that the legislature
will unseat every oae of the new offi
cers. Matters wore further complicated
to-night . At 8 o’clock Gov.-elect
Boyd called on Gov. Thayer, and
was informed that the latter would not give
up tha office on the ground that Gov. Boyd
was not a citizen ot the United Skates, aud
was, therefore, not eligible. Thiß tangles
the situation until nobody dares predict
what the outcome will be. Gov. Thayer
has barricaded the executive office, and
remains inside with the police and a com
pany of militia on guard. It is impossible
to roach him to ascertain his purposes, but
it is understood that he will remain gov
ernor, if possible, until all the questions
affecting his successor are settled.

pockets Mr. O'Brien and stultifies tho patri*
ota by inducing them to depose Mr#
McCarthy in favor of his nominee, in re
turn for a fictitious retirement. Such con*
elusions show that the patriots are as
maudlin as Mr. Parnell has shown himself

The Journal adds; "Those who
would reject the advioe and spurn
the couolusioris of two such Irish t
men as M*s#r. Parnell aud O'Briek

bility at a critical juncture. It is time for
Irishrntm to prove that they appreciate Mri
Parnell’s and Mr. O’Brien’s efforts to secure
success, despite the diffieulty caused by
treachery and corruption. The country'*
manhood will indorse leaders who have sfi

A BUBBLE IN GLASS.
Tb* Proposed Truat Falls Through—A
New Combine.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jon. B.— lt has leaked
out that at Wednesday's meeting of thnt
American Glass Company’s executive com#
Biittee in this city, action was taken wbictf
means practically the abandonment of that
gigantic enterprise. The committee,
alter much discussion, passed a resow
lution releasing from their obligation
such subscriber* to the oapital (took of tb*
conoern as might wish to withdraw. Tbs
Pittsburg window glass makers declare
that the combination will not be oonapleted
this year at least, and perhaps not at all.
The entiie difficulty has been brought
about by the financial stringency.
A NEW COMBINE.
It la learned on good authority that nine*
toon of the leading table glass ware menu#
facturers of Pennsylvania and West Vli>
giula bavo formed a combine with the
object of avoiding waste of money daring
dull seasons. If at any time business should
bo dull at one of the factories that plant will
close d-iwn and transfer its orders to other
factories. Should general dullness ensue,
tho combine will operate as many factories
as are necessary to fill the demand. Each
factory will bo asses-ed for general expenses
and the profits will be divided in propor
tion to the size of the factories. No outside
working capital will be In the deal. This
arrangement, it is expected, will bring
about uniform prl.ee, a saving on
molds and a saving by shutting down the
big establishments that do not have enough
work to keep all of their plant going. Aa
executive board will manage the concern.
The uumber of bands employed in the nine
teen factories is over 8,000, and the total
weekly pay roll is 8200,000.
