PrNE RIDGE AGENCY, OAK, Aug. 19.-There
was great commotion here yesterday when
it was learned that large band of Sioux had
gone to the Cheyenne country on the Tongue
river in defiance Of objections by Agent Gal
lagher. They left word that they were to
attend sun dance, but it is feared they have
more serious intentions, az. they have often
threatened to join the Cheyennes and massa-
ere the unprotected whites along the Tongue
and Powder rivers. The Indians requested
Agent Gallagher ia allow them to go to the
Tongue river country last week, but the lat
ter suspecting that there would be trouble
refused to permit them to leave the reserva-
ton As soon as it was learned that the
Indians had gone telegram was sent to Gen
eral Ruger, who wired Colonel Dudley at
Fort Custer to send out troops at once to in
tercept them. In the afternoon two compa-
MES Of the First cavalry started in hot pur-
suit across the country to meet the recalci-
trant reds. The troops are in command Of
Major j. w. Hamilton and First Lieutenant
R. P. Wainwright. It is believed that q
bloody battle will be fought before the Sioux
are taken back to their reservation, as they
are in bad state of mind and reported well
armed.

About tho Tariff.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 19.-The COM
| mercial travellers of Indiana and Illinois paid
their respects to Gen. Harrison yesterday.
Among other things Gen. Harrison said: 1
am particularly glad that class so large and
| SO influential and one that touches SO many
| communities is loyalty and earnestly devoted
/ to the principles of the Republican party. I
| have travelled somewhat in the wake of the
| commercial men and have observed that they
/ have the habit of getting the best of every
| thing wherever they 60 Applause and
| laughter.) I am, therefore, quite ready to
credit the statement of the gentleman who
has spoken in your behalf, when he told me
/ that the commercial travellers are all Repub.
| licans.
Let me suggest but this one thought-do
not let any one persuade you that this great
/ contest as to our tariff policy IL one between
schedules. It is not question of per cent.
reduction. (Applause.) It is question be-
tween wide apart principles. The principles
| of protection; the intelligent recognition in
| the framing of our tariff laws of the duty to
protect our American industries and main
tain the American scale of wages by adequate
discrimination of duties on the one hand, and
| on the other denial of the constitutional
| right to make our customs duties protective
/ on the assertion of the doctrine that free
competition with foreign products is the
/ ideal condition to which all our legislation
| should tend. (Applause,) Let me, now, in
| behalf not only of myself, but of my family,
| thank you for your visit and ask you to visit
our home again. (Applause0
