The News and Obs’esner. Big Foot and His Band. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, Dec. 23.—General Schofield has received the following telegram from Gen. Ruger, under date of St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 22: “Big Foot, with his following, in cluding some of Sitting Bull’* fugi tives, and those disaffected Indians in Cherry Creek District, Cheyenne ltiver reservation, who joined Big Foot, surrendered yesterdav to Col. Sumner. The rest of Sitting Bull’s people came to Cherry Crook, with the exception of a few w o may have sought shelter at Pine Bulge, and are on their way under conduct to Fort Bennett for surrender. Big Foot and people will be sent to Fort Meade, those surrendering at Fort Bennett, probably to Sully. The surrender and disarmament of these two factious practically ends the probability of any serious trouble with the Indians of Cheyenne River and Standing Rock reservation, and is a good step toward ending the whole trouble/’ The Crazy Messiah Arrested. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Pine Ridge, Dec. 23.—The po lice have arrested the Messiah down in Red Cloud’s camp. When they pulled the white blanket off they found an intelligent but harmless crank, M. C. Hopkins by name, from Nashua, lowa. He claimed be was here in the interest of peace, and that he had come because the Indians mis interpreted his message. He wanted to go to the Bad Lands, but Agent Royer changed his address to Chad rin, starting him under an escort of police. Some of the Indians were indignant over his arrest, while others laughed and said he was a crazy fool. None of the chiefs take any stock in him, and Red Cloud came up to him and said : “You go home ; you are no son of God.” The Messiah claims he will go to the Bad Lands. One hundred friendlies have left on their peace mission. They took three wagon loads of rations. wi ■ mt A Woman on the Scaffold. By Cable to the News and Observer. London, Dec. 23. —Mrs. Nellie Pearcy was hanged this morning for the murder of Mrs. Hogg and her baby. Mrs. Hogg was the wife of a London porter. The crowd outside the orison walls set up a loud cheer when the black flag showing that the woman was hanging on the scaffold was hoisted on the prison flagstaff. Daring the night the unfortunate woman was quiet and resigned and for several hours prayed in company with the prison chaplain. To the latter she confessed that the sentence passed upon her was a just 01.3, though she said the evidence npon which she was convicted was false. The Caucus Relief Bill. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, Dec. 23.— The Sen ate finance committee has reported through Mr. Sherman its financial bill with an amendment striking ont the provision for the replacement of thß deficiency in national bank note circulation by the issue of Treasury notes; and inserting a provision for the issue of 200,000,000 of two per cent bonds to be redeemable at pleas ure after ten years.

London, Dec. 23. —Jbe fire which was announced to be in progress early this morning was a seriouß con flagration. Eight shops were gutted by the flames, and other premises were seriously damaged in spite of the efforts of a strong force of the London fire brigade. The amount of damage done can only be vaguely estimated at present, but there is no doubt that a heavy loss will fall upon the insurance companies. Ready to Figlit. By Telegraph ty the News and Observer. Omaha, Neb., Dec. 23—A Bee special from Fine Ridge, 8. D., says an Indian scout named Stands First, who has just returned from a visit to the Indians in the Bad Lands, says a spirit of hostility still prevails there.

DOINGS IN CONGRESS. THE HOUSE ADJOURNS TILL FRIDAY NEXT. The Senate will Adjourn Today Till Saturday—'The Debate on the Force Bill Progresses. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Washington, Dec. 23— Senate.— The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Morgan directing the committee on privileges and elections to amend the election bill so as to show what are the changes and modifica tions intended to be made, was taken up and Mr. Morgan made it the text of a speech whicn occupied the whole morning hour. Mr. Sherman from the committee or finance reported the bill t > pro vide against a contraction of the cur rency and for other purposes (caucus bill) and it was read twice and , laced on the calendar. The election hill was then taken up and Mr. (Jail addressed the Senate in opposition to it. it was tno most important bill, he «aid, ev.--'- pre sented in the history of. the leg slation of this country. Its enactment- iir.o law would constitute a. change in the powers of the government hs great as thnt which characterized the Re public of Rome when it was changed into a monarchy. The Earl of Staff ford had been imperched by tho British Parliament in 1643 for an attempt to subvert rhe fundanu ntal laws of the kingdom, and the pend ing measure was quite as foui an at tempt to subvert the fundamental laws of the country. Mr. Gall spoke for over four hours and was followed in opposition to the bill by Mr. McPherson. He op posed it, he said, because it vas a distrust of the people; an indie ocent of the whole people without regard to party distinctions; a proclamation that the people (honest and patriotic as they were) had not the intelligence or virtue to exercise aright the pre rogatives of freemen without dicta tion from those who were their ser vants and not their masters. In short, he opposed it because it was a partisan measure, intended for a partisan purpose. At this point Mr. Aldrich asked Mr. McPherson to yield the floor and (the request having been complied with) he gave notice of his i).'e;.;io!i to move an amendment to the rules providing, daring the presoL res sion, for the closing of debate on any bill under consideration. The proposed amendment having been read, Mr Aldrich asked at it be printed and laid over. The resolution was laid on - tie table and ordered to be primed and Mr. McPherson resumed h s argu ment against the election bill. With out finishing his speech Mr. AlcPher ton yielded at 5:30 to a motion tor an executive session and afterv T ar.!g the Senate adjourned till tomorrow morning at 10 o’cleck. It was agreed that when the Senate adjourned to morrow it be to meet Saturday. HOUSE. After the reading of the journal, on motion of Mr. Kinley, and with out objection, it was agretd that when the House adjourns today it be to meet Friday next.

Edward Enoch, a railroad man, and James Gravett, a carpenter, were in a saloon and both under tho in fluence of liquor. They began a quarrel about some trivial matter, and Gravett insulted Enoch, when the latter knocked him down and literally stamped him to death with his heavy boots. Gravett’g face was crushed and he died almost instantly. Enoch was arrested. The Grip Attacks New Orleans. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. New Orleans, Deo. 23.—The weekly report of the city’s mortality shows the largest number of deaths during any one week ever recorded here, save when the yellow fever pro vailed in epidemic form twelve joars ago, 236. The large death rate is dae, in the opinion of a prominent physician, to the prevalence of the grip, of which thcie are now nearly 30,000 cases under treatment hi re. Ellen Terry says she considers Sarah Bernhardt the great* s' jiving actress. True to Cleveland. Springfield, Mass., Dec. 22. An elaborately planned canvass to ascertain the opinions of farmer? throughout the country on certain practical, economic and political questions has been conducted on an extensive scale for the past three months by the agricultural p ess of Springfield. Liberal prizes were so arranged as to create much discus sion in farmers’ organizations every where, and induce a large poll of postal card b .Hots. In order to reach the farmers of the whole United St-.tes, the enterprise was workid in the .New England States tbr »ugh tbs New England Homestead, iu the At lantic and Middle States through the Eastern td. i >n of Farmers’ Home, while the Central States, Wist jind South, the Northwest and the Pacific Slope were reached through the Western edition of Farm and Home, published at Chicago. Nearly 110,000 cards were received, answering \a rious questions. The answers have been fully tabu lated only as far as they relate to the question, “Who should be the Re publican and Democratic nominees for the Presidency in 1802?” In reference to the vote of presi dential candidates it is explained that the journals interested interpreted the Noyember elections as meaning that the fanners were weary of old favorites and old measures and de manded new men and new issues. These journals, therefore, advocated J. M. Rusk, of Wisconsin, the Secre tary of Agriculture, and Congress man William 11. Hatch, of Missouri, ex-chairman of the Hoi.ee committee on agriculture, as the proper Repub lican and Dem cratic standard bear ers for 1892. In spite of this influ ence, however, the farmers expressed their preference for presidential can didates in the following manner : VOTE FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. Cleve- Scat land. Hill.

Glasgow', Dec. 23.—1 n spite of all efforts made to bring about a settlement of matters in dispute between railroad officials and rail road employees, the strike continues to extend in many directions. Traf fic is now hopelessly behind every where along lines of the roads. The engine drivers report many of the signal boxes as being emp'y, having been deserted by their regular oocu pants and that in the other case where the signal men remained at their posts the s'gnals were so worked as to be misleading and consequently delaying passage of trains in a most annoying and dangerous man ner. At Perth, the railway men aie still at work, but the strikers’ pickets, which have been es tablished there, report that they ex pect to be able to induce the Perth men to go out on a strike in aver short time. The state of affairs can be judged from the fact that only one out of thirty steam cranes are working at the mineral terminus in Glasgow harbor. Loaded wagons cannot be relieved owing to the al most complete lack of locomotives with which to do the work. The rail road officials are evidently enjoying the sympathy of the business com munity, as shown by the fact that several private firms placed their pilot engines at the disposal of the railroad company in order to enable the latter to carry on absolutely essen tial work. At the Holytown coal mine centre, about ten miles from this city, the miners have ceased work. As there are no wagons available for any further output of coal, should the strike continue much longer, the coal trade of Sunarkshire will be completely paralyzed. Senate Continuation. Washington, Dec., 23.—The Senate today confirmed the follow ing nominations for postmasters: Union Springs, Ala., F. B. Fay; Valdosta, Ga., C. O. Force. Insulting. “I’ve changed my barber,” said young Doddleton. “Why ?” “Well, 1 don’t like some things he does. I wanted to get shaved and he went oier my face with a wet towel.” “Did he stop there ?” “He was going to, when I told him 1 thought the job was incomplete.” “What did de do then ?” “He said he didn’t know 1 wanted a close shave,”—Washington Post. PARNELL LOSES. IIKNNESEY BEATS SCULLY BY A GOOD MAJORITY. The Parnellites, However, are Ju bilant In Defeat--'Tbe Election to be Contested—An Ovation to Par nell. By Cable to the New* and Observer. Kilkenny, DtC. 23. — The result </f ’he flection held yesterday to fiii the s«:at lor North Kilkenny in the llouAc of Commons, made vacant by ihc death of Mr. Marum, was an nounced at noon today. The polling resulted in a victory for the anti- Parneliites, their candidate, Sir John Pope Ileunesy, being returned. The result of the election was: Hennesy 2 502, Scully 1,356. Majority for Hennesy 1,146. The Parnellites were not so dis couraged as they might be expteted, for it is admitted that it was really a victory for the priests, and that hau they not adopted the tactics they did the result of the election would have been different. TO CONTEST THE ELECTION. Vincent Scully has lodged a peti tion protesting against the election of Hennessy on the ground of the influonce on the part of the priests, particularly referring to the priests’ action in connection with the illiter ate voters of Castle Comer. It is stated that over 200 voters are chal lenged by tbe Parnellites. PARNELLITES DIE GAME. Immediately after the sheriff had officially announced the result of the polling the Parnellites present moved in a body to the front of the court house and then with cheers they hoisted Parnell upon their shoulders and gave him a rousing reception. Parneil was upon tbe point of mak ing a speech whezi Timothy and Maurice Uealy appeared among the crowd. The Parnellites resented this intrusion by assuming menacing at titudes, threatening personal vio lence to the Healys in case they d.d not leave. Finally Parnoll, in or der to prevent what seemed likely to be a disgraceful row, asked the police to induce the Healys to withdraw. The police promptly acted upon Mr. Parnell’s suggestion, and the Healys were prevailed upon to depart under po lice protection. While the Healys were being escorted out of danger, Parnell diverted the attention of the crowd by resuming his attempt to make a aj jech, saying that he would not be turned aside from his deter mination to do his duty to Ireland seeing that the result of the contest in North Kilkenny was brought about by conspiracy. Parnell added that he would go through Ireland fighting every election, and that he felt confident of eventual triumph. Bl RNBl) THKIR VICTIMS ALIVE. The Horrible Crime of Chinese VlUijcera and Their Pnelshment. San Francisco, Dec. 21. Chinese advises report the execution of the sentences on the villagers near Shanghai for the cruel murder of fourteen salt inspectors and the burning of tho bodies of the wounded and dead. These salt inspectors made a raid on a village last March. They wore no uniforms and the vil lagers mistook them for pirates. The inspectors seized a pile of contraband salt, and while removing it to their boats were attacked by villagers and overpowered. Nearly all were only stunned by blows, but the villagers, learning that they had attacked Gov ernment officers and fearful of severe punishment, carried the injured mep to the boat, set fire to it and burned the whole to hide their crime. The chief criminal was sentenced to de capitation, but committeed suioide before the pay arrived, and, accord ing to law, hia body was exhumed and the head struck off and exhibited as a warning to the public. Four others were strangled aud four exiled after being heavily fined. A D'.re Threat. Angry Householder—How much will you take and leave the neighbor hood at once?

Within tbe past forty-eight hours there has been a decidedly new com plexion placed upon the fight against the force bill. It will be remembered that last Saturday both Senator Spooner and Senator Ingalls made the direct charge that the South was enjoying a large representation in Congress based on a suppressed vote. This charge, while not a new one, has attracted a great deal of atten tion among Southern Senators and members, one of whom, at least, pro poses to pnt the matter to a test in the Senate. Seuator Butler, of South Carolina, said yesterday to a Post re porter that he intended at the first opportunity, and before the debate on the force bill was closed, to ask the gentlemen on the Republican side if they will vote for a joint reso lution depriving the negro of his right to vote, if by so doing the Southern representation in Congress is relatively reduced. “1 shall tell them,” he said, “that they will not dare vote for such a measure, and I shall also tell them that I, on the contrary, will give it my hearty sup port.” Senator Pugh, of Alabama, was emphatic when he said that the South would not hesitate one moment to give up any representation based on the negro vote if by so doing it could forever eliminate the negro as a political nonentity. “This,” he added, “I am certain is the univer sal sentiment of the Southern peo ple.” Senator Vance, of North Carolina, is not favorable to the proposition. He says that the whites are numeri cally the stronger in the Old North State; that the races are liviug peace fully together, and that the whites have nothing to gain by a ridging the negro’s rignt of suffrage. “A; an abstract proposition,” said he, “I oppose it aiso. Tin* result would be to inject into our body ,>olitic a large class of citizens who can Deitbei vote nor be voted for. They would constitute au element of p litical as well as social pariahs. They would be an incubus upon our material prosperity. They would have noth ing to appeal to their better instinct. They would lose their manhood. They would be without responsibility, and as such a dangerous ele ment in the community. We of the South are gradually work ing out this race problem to a happy solution. A few years more and we will have solved it completely. As the negro acquires property he be comes a bet *er citizen. His interest is identic® 7 with the white man, and with this .ommunity of interest he is quite as desirous of good govern ment as his white neighbor is. I don’t know how it may be in other States of the South where the negro outnumbers the whites, but in North Carolina we are entirely satisfied with the existing social and political conditions.” In the House there are many Southern Representatives with out spoken views on the subject. Repre sentative Stockdale, of Mississippi, said to the Post reporter that he would be glad to see the negro ques tion taken out from politics in the South, “even,” he added, “if this resulted in my losing my seat in Con gress.” Representative Catchings, of the same State, said that to elimi nate the negro and accept the re duced representation would be a happy solution of a vexing problem. Representative Oates, of Alabama, said two-thirds of the South are m favor of reduced representation in Congress and the Electoral College if, on ihe other hand, the negro pop ulation is taken out of the appor tionment calculation. Read Out of Hl» Party. The Philadelphia Press, a powerful Republican organ, denounces Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania, for being opposed to the Force Bill and in fa vor of Free Silver Coinage, and reads him out of the Republican party and warns the Pennsylvania legislature not to re-elect him to the Senate. Hot Spring*. Have you ever visited Hot Springs? Alas! You meet while there so many instances of ter rible blood poison, evidenced by disfigurement of face aud form. Hither, rush sufferers from scrofula, syphilis, eczema, salt rheum, ulcers, blemished skin, twisted and aching joints, limbs made crooked by rheumatism, etc-, etc. Borne find relief, some do not and come away poor m purse and grievously disappointed. It costs money to visit ami sojourn at Hot Springs. Th# experiment of going there cannot be indulged in without considerable expense. How thank ful, then, should every one be to know there is a remedy even more beneficial in cases of blood poison than Hot Springs. We refer to Botanic Blood Balm (B B IS) as to its merits thousands will testify. „ _ .. „ r Z T. Hallerton, Macon, Ga., writes: “I con tracted blood poison. I first tried physicians, aud then went to Hot Springs. I returned home a ruined man physically. Nothing seemed to do mo any good. My mother persuaded me to try B 813. To my utter astonishment every ulcer quickly healed.” Jas. L. Boswortli, Atlanta, Ga , says: "Some years ago I contracted blood poison 1 had no appetite, my digestion was ruined, rheumatism drew up my limbs so I could'hardly walk, mv throat was cauterizen five times. Hot Springs gave me no benefit and my life was oue of tor ture until I gave B B B a trial, and, surprising as it may seem, the use of live bottles cured me.” M Always au eye witness—Pupils.
