CHICAGO, May 5.
An Inter OceGn's Omaha special adj
vices received here from the hostile
Indian country reports Sitting Bull on
the Yellowstone, at the mouth OF Pow
der river. Those who escaped from
the attack on Crazy Horses village,
March IL, have joined him. Many
young men from the Standing Rock
Reservation have left with ponies, and
1t is feared have gone to join him. Sit
ting Bull, Bull, Eagle and other hostile
chiefs, are doing their utmost to per-
suads the young men to leave all the
reservations. 1t is feared that a raid
on the frontier settlements is contem
plated. Sitting Bull is getting large
quantities Of ammunition from a band
of half breeds canlped near Bear Butte,
northwest of the Black Hills. .
General Crooks ex Expedition will start
out on or before May l5. 1t will be di-
vided into three detachments; the
main one, under General Crook in per-
son, will leave the Union Pacific rail-
road. The second part, under General
John Gibbon, will o down the
Yellowstone from Fort Ellis, and the
third part will proceed from Fort Lin
coin up the Yellowstone. A vigorous
and active campaign will be prosecuted

Piper's speech In Congress ON the
Financial Question.
WASHINGTON. May 4.
Piper's speech in the House last
night was a spirited refutation of the
established currency theories lately
oA 20 px.o1 nv kallnU ond nfhnr soft
money Congressman, and an argument
to show that the only feasible plan for
returning to specie payments is TO re-
duce the amount of notes now i'll cir
culation. He thought an easy and
rapid way would be to reduce the pa
per currency to fifty millions, elite by
returning the National Bank notes or
by funding the legal tenders or by
Carrying on both operations at once.
He believed that the partial sub>titu-
ton of legal tenders for National Bank
ote would be a desirable mode OF
| contraction. as it would save the Gov
eminent a considerable amount of in
terest. Another means of contraction
and reduction advocated by Piper is tn
retire legal tenders by funding and al
lowing free banking, u by de
posiis of Government bonds. These
free banks, however. should be organ
ICED as specie paying institutions will,
an ample reserve in metallic currency.
Under such a system a metallic guar
anlee of $500 ,000. 600 would allow a cir
culation of $500. 900, 900 in paper, which
would be sufficient TO supply the bust
ness wants OF the country. One ol
these plans, ne believed, must finally
be adopted or the country will go
from bad to worse, and heinsisted that
the present is the proper time tn make
the comparatively ir fling sarriii p re
quired for the return TO an honest finan-
cial system.
