WHAT GEN. WILLIAMS, or THE DIVISION or THE ME-
sOlRI. THINKS OF THE krnORs

CHICAGO, Oct 24--Gen. Williams, adjutant gen
eral OF the division OF the Missouri was shown the
dispatch from Standing Rock Agency regarding
the threatened conflict between the Crows aud
Sioux.
He said: "In my judgment the Information did
not come from the military authorities at the
agency but from the people there who live among
the Indians and whose interests are theirs Ny
view is that they have heard the talk OF these
Sioux and have become alarmed with them over
what they consider TO be impending danger. The
absence OF their chiefs no doubt helghIens their
fears. The Crow Indians have never sought a hight
with the Sioux They are naturally AFRAID of the
Sioux, and do not believe they have any hostile
Intentions now. Perhaps they have started OUT
on horse-stealing expedition. The reason that
DISC colt the report ls that have received no Ia.
timation OF IL from the military authorities at St
Paul They would hear from Fort Custer, which
Is only 25 miles from the Standing Rock Agency,
or from Fort Yates and it would be telegraphed 70
me Immediately. so that it is clear ~ me that
the military 40 not share tie fears OF the leader
less Sioux that the crow warriors VIII descend
upon them believe that IL is extremely lnprob-
able that there has been any movement OF the
Crows without the military authorities here ~.

The Military Prison.
REPORT OF THE C0MNIssION-PRIsONBRs WHO SIM
LATED INSANITY.


The Military Prison Commission, consisting Of
MaJor-General Geo. Crook, AdJutant- General K. q.
Drum, ana LieuteIant-COlonel Thos. +. Barr, have
made their report to the Secretary OF War, dated
at Fort Leavenworth, KAN, on the 10th inst. All
the buildings and grounds connected with the In
stitution were found to be well kept and in good
condition. The institution OF the insane ward
with cells so constructed as TO keep the inmates
under constant surveillance, has proved marked
success The suspicion OF the commissioners that
prisoners confined as insane, at the time OF their
previous visit, were stimulating the disease, mad
been confirmed after their transfer TO the new
cells, and they learned that there was no chance
for their being sent TO the insane asylum at wash
ington, and they acknowledged that they had
been Inaingering. II is thought that no fur
ther trouble OF this character will be experienced
The manufacturing departments gave evidence OF
Careful supervision, and their productions, II u BE-
ieved, viii compare fav0rably with those OF pri-
vate nrms engaged In the same business. s1he
stores, kitchen, and moeS-room were examined
and showed that the prisoners were amply sup
piled with wholesome food. There were in the
prison on the 9th inst. 472 prisonerA as against
4S5 on the date Of the last inspection, May %
1883. FOrty-six complaints against the manage.
menG OF the INSTITUTION were examined, and IN no
case coul0 Il be determined that the penalties al
judged had not been deserved.
