a prominent dealer said Yesterday
1.-Two causes impei this lnoyement-oyer-
production and the law. For at least three
years the production has been largely in
excess Of the demand. The internal roy
enne tax of 30 cents per gallon on high
wines, which amounts to about l.oO per
gallon on rectitied whisky, is payable on
the expiration of three years after distilla-
ton. provided the liquor remains in bond
In this country that long. But if il is
shipped to foreign port before that time
expires 1t is then returned to the United
States, it will not have to pay the tax tor
three years more. 1t is well worth the
while OF distillers to pay about cents Der
gallon to ship whisky abroad and as much
more to bring it back, when they get three
years time allowance by doing it. Most
OF the whisky now sent abroad comes back
IN the same bottoms it goes ont in, so not
much Is lost to American storage by the
movement. Some whisky, no .ever, is

The whole movement will probably

kept the practice up with remarkable reg

emily that the deposits exceeded tho whole
of the boys allowance, bat accounted for
1t by supposspg that he aata saved some
money previously. Besides this, he re-
ceived some money from his mother. So
the fond parent rejoiced In the saving dis
position his son was displaying. This con-

such dimensions as to demand an explana-

OF the money he had been depositing had

Indians. They have implicit faith in Sit

able example in Joining the Church will in

che Satisfactory results already achieved in

Indian problem, and is satisfied that the
Northern Indians will never again don

FOUR FIGHTS IN ONE DAY.
A EtatRer Exciting Time In "a Penn

CoNNELLsyILIE, Pa, April 12.-In what
is known as Niger Hill, about a mile from
town. at the works Of the Pittsburg and
Connellsyille Company, yesterday after
noon, Ned CaHlV and G. alcPatiand, two
coal miners, concluded to settle their diff
ouliies by contest In the ring. After
fighting eight rounds Curry acknowl-
edged himself whipped. Later Charley
McPatland and John Murphy fought sew
eral rounds, the former icing whipped,
but aot punished badly. The fathers of
the last two named then concluded to
settle their sons quarrel, and q fight en-
sued in which the women at the works
took active part. BroomstIcks flew in the
air freely, Fand both combatants were bad
ly used up. Still later in the evening
Ned Curry and Ed. Mullen fought eight
rounds, Curry furnishing his opponent
terribly,
i'ile grand finale, however, took place
this morning, when Charles McPhatland
and Oliver Murphy met in a regularly ar
ranged ring in what is known as Battle
row, jnst on top Of the hill. Both men are
small, weighing probably abou. 135 pounds,
and neither is over IS years old. When
time was both toed the scratch smilingly
and the first round resulted in a knock
down and first blood for Mcphatland.
The latter maintained his advantage to the
end. In the thirty-third round Murphy
received a blow on the right hand which
broke his.thamb and practically disabled
him, and 1T the end of the fortleth round

SITTING BULL DIVERTED
The Great Sioux Chief TO Embrace the
Catholic Faith.

MILWAUKEE,, April l2.-This morning
Bishop Marty, of Dakota, who is spend
ing few days in the city as the guest Of
Archbishop Heiss, impaired the informa-
ton to the correspondent cf The SIM that
he had succeeded in converting the great
Indian chieflain Sitting Bull to the Cath
Ollie faith, and will receive him into the
Church the coming summer. The chief,
with about l40 of his followers, has been
spending the winter at Fort Randall. on
the Missouri river midway between Yank-
ton and Chamberlain. Dakota On the 18th
inst. he will join his tribe, the Uncapapas,
Standing Rock reservation. Sitting Bull
has announced his intention of taking Il
tarm on the Grand River, where two hun
dred Indian families will henceforth turn
their attention to agricultural pursuits the
present season. There are two Catholic
chapels on the reservation, and two NOR
will be erected this summer. one insthe
vicinity of Sitting Bulls home. Each
chapel has school house, where the In
dian youth are educated. The Bishop
had no difficulty whatever in imparting
religious instructions to Sitting Bull, who
never before had an opportunity to receive
such teachings. Bishop Marty pronoances
the chief thorough Indian, about fifty
years of age, and of magnificent physique.
He does not speak any other but the Indian
language, and the Bishop eharaclerizes the
many stories published concerning Sitting
Bulls education as mere fables, especially
referring to the story to the effect that he
had been educated by Father Smith, and
also had attended college in Canada. He
is very smart and adroit, whichis evidenced
by his action at the time of the surrender
at Fort Buford. He had often declared
that he never would surrender his gun,
and, ina certain sense, kept his word by
handing the weapon to his little son, ex-l
planning that he did SO to teach the boy to
always keep peace with the whites. He is
said 10 be thus considerate in al things,
