The Indian Commission il getting discour
nged. At Crow Greek Gen Crook und Gov
Foster were in consultation with the lending
Indians, but found they were playing the
commissioners for what they could get out
of them. They advanced ideas, but General
Crook drove them out of every position they
assumed when he had no far brought them
into line as to make them anxious to come
to some terms. In the evening Gov. Foster
went out to where they were holding coun
Gil and dnnce with the intention ofusing the
Ohio political idea with them, but this idca
il not one which can be worked successfully
for next morning found the Indians in an ell
trenched position, ready to argue the ques
tion. Gen Crook says it is IL mistaken dcn
TO be in any way familiar with nn Indian or
lend him to believe you are at all anxious to
to make him proposals, but on the contrary,
to wait proposals from him, and concede
slowly to him what he wisles if in reason.
The general expresses himself as more dis.
coutaged than at any time since these nego.
tiations hnye begun. He is entirely hopeless
OF SUCCESS, but thinks that more time will he
needed at the upper agencies. and maybe II
return to Pine Ridge will he necessary to
complete the work there, where he s,ill has
hopes OF success.

FRANCE AND BRAZIL.

Spuller Explains the Attitude OF the
French Government.
PARIS. Dec. AIN the Chamber of Dep
uties to-day, Mr.. Hubbard asked for infor-
nation regarding the attitude of France
toward the new Brazilian government.
M. Spuler, minister of foreign affairs, re-
piled that cable dispatches received from the
French charge d'affaires at Rio do Janeiro
showed that order had not been disturbed
that the republic had been proclaimed
quietly in the provinces, aud that the pro-
visional government promised TO protect all
interests, and TO respect all engagements
entered into by the empire. M. Spul-
Ter further said that after the
provisional government had placed itself ia
diplomatic communication with the French
authorities, he had instructed the French
agent to continue the same good relations
with the republic that had been maintained
with the empire. The provisional govern
ment had received this decision with great
satisfaction. No official notifications had
as yet been made on either side. The new
government was probably waiting the
assembling Of the chamber before officially
notifying foreign powers of the establish
ment of a republic.

IRELAHD's UNIVERSITY.
Balfour Explains the Governments
Ideas and Conditions.

GLASGOW, Dec. Mr. Balfour, chief
secretary OF Ireland, ia speech here to-day
set forth the ideas Of the government on the
subject of tho proposed Irish college He
proposes that government aid shall be given
to a Catholic college in which O regular
curriculum shall be given. including classics
and mathematics but that the government
shall not endow any institution for teach
ing theology in Ireland.
MIR. Balfour declared, however, that he
would never advise his colleagues In the
ministry TO embark upon the arduous
enterprise, unless the following absolutely
necessary conditions were fulfilled: First,
that the boon should be cordially accepted
by the intended recipients-the Irish people;
second, that the offer shall not he used as q
political weapon by one party in parlia-l
ment against its opponents; third,
that Englisbmen, Scotchmen and
Irishmen shall alone concur In Offering
this boon. He confessed he saw no likeli-
hood that 1t would be accepted with these
conditions. 1t was never any part of his
intention that the government should endow
a Catholic theological chair. His only pur-
pose had been to equip the necessary chairs
for the study of literature, science, medi-I
cine and law.<t He believed that founding
complete university would be fatal to
higher education in Ireland, becau;e it
would remove competition between Catho-
lies and protestants

MONTANA LEFT OUT.
Mr.. Vest inquired whether there was

Montana.
Mr.. Hoar-Nothing. do not understand
that the senators from the state of Montana

Mr.. Vest-That is very true. Yet, I
would suggest that provision be made for
an event which is very sure to happen, and
which we know must happen, in reference
to state that is already a member of the
unloa by the presidents proclamation
BuS OF course that matter can be considered
by the committee on privileges and cleo
tions.
Mr.. Hoar-The senator's from the state Of
Montana will lose nothing by not being in
cluded in the resolution.
The resolution was then referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.

BEARS SCARE THE BULLS.
WALL STREET FULL OF WILD Ru-
MoRS OF A PANIC.

Heavy Buying for London Account
Saves the Day-The Big Dividend
Paying Stocks Tumble as Well as
the Less Substantial Ones - How
Southern Stocks Fared.
New YORK, Dec 2.-When Chairman
Mitchell raped his gavel at the stock ex-
change this morning to denote the opening
hour. scene instantly ensued battling
description. The depression which set in
Saturday was renewed with increased
violence and desperation. For the first
two hours it seemed that a genuine
panic was inevitable. All classes
Of stocks went tumbling at a rate that
threatened widespread bankruptcy. The
street was soon agog with all sorts OF alarm
ing rumors. The names of some of the
strongest houses of Wall street were irrev-
erently whispered about by umor-mongers,
and one or two banks were said TO be on the
verge of suspension.
SIGNS OF APPREHENSION.
The feeling of uneasness grew more and
moro intense until nearly 2 o'clock, and
men on every side wore expressions of
countenance that bespoke approaching ruin.
London was a heavy buyer of railroad
stocks in this market all day, and that sup
port, it is said tonight, is what averted a
wholesale disaster
While the so-called trust stocks had the
least support, and, therefore, suffered the
greatest shrinkage, they by no means mo
nopolized the decline in values. Even the
substantial dividend payers fell off sharply,
and looked at one time as though they were
going to everlasting smash.
INoALCULABLE DAMAGE.
It has been been memorable day, and
the damage done to private fortunes Is in
calculable. Many man has gone homo
tonight with aching head, sorrowful heart,
and sadly depleted purse, who last week
was predicting big bull market in the
near future, and counting confidently ON a
jolly Christmas. Such sudden changes in
mems possessions, though common in Wall
street, are none the less hard to bear, nor
less conducive to suicide.
Despite the terrible losses sustained on
Saturday and to-day, there has not yet
been single failure announced. This Ia
simply marvellous.
HOW SOUTHERN STOCKS FARED.
In the general drop, the southern stocks
naturally shared. Tennessee Coal and Iron.
which was IS the other day, sold down TO
66 to-day; Louisville and Nashville do
clined below s3, and Richmond Terminal
dropped TO 20, the lowest point it has touched
in some time. The awful Lynn and
Boston fires, and Secretary WINDOWS
announcement OF his intention
reduce the government deposits now in the
national ba ks we're the main causes of the
trouble in Wall street. When the market
closed, however, everything was materially
better, and the feeling at the Windsor hotel
tonight is moro hopeful. The general
opinion is that the worst is over, though
everyb body agrees that general panic was
at one time to-day dangerously near at
hand, and was only escaped through the
heavy buying for London account.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Gladstone Declares that the Bill Don't
Go Far Enough.

Go Far Enough.
LONDON, Dec. 2.-The meetings of the Lib
eral federation began in Manchester today.
Mr.. Gladstone was present and made an
address in Free Trade hall. In the course
of his address he said that the local govern
ment bill didn't meet the legitimate wants
OF the country. He advocated granting to
the county councils powers of taxation, con-
troll OF the police and liquor traffic, care of
the poor, power to deal with the question of
ground rents and to form district councils; /;
and be would possibly go further and eStab-
lish the parish principle Of government,
and thus convey to the rural population the
first elements of their public education and
create sense Of public duty, which is the
highest aim Of a statesman.
CHANGES IN THE PUBLIC MIND.
Mr.. Gladstone said that since 1885 there
had been kan enormous stimulus to the
public mind in regard to dwellings for the
poor, enfranchisement of lease holders,
shorter parllaments, disestablishment of the
church in Scotland and Wales, the cur
rency and House of Lords. Provisions for
direct Scottish and Welsh home rule, Mr..
Gladstone said, must be dealt with by
future parliaments. He referred to his
approaching SOth birthday. and said 1t was
not probable that he should have a direct
interest in many future great reforms.
When the idea of evolution, especially with
reference to Irish affairs, should become
more familiar, parliament would be able to
address itself to the discharge of its duties,
and would be relieved of an intolerable
burden.
TURKISH AFFAIRS
The state Of affairs In the Turkish empire,
Mr.. Gladstone said, is again before the
English people. Transactions in Crete
and Armenia are dissatisfying, and inci-
dents have occurred which require them to
be brought home to the consciences of the
British people. 1t was difficult to deal with
the future.
He trusted that the government would
not use honeyed words In matters Involving
property, liberty, life and female honor.
The country would not admit apologies
or palliations for cruelty and wickedness.
MIR. Gladstone predicted liberal victory at
the next election for members of parlia-
ment. He advocated an amendment to the
registration laws. removing the anOmoly of
plurality Of votes, and the establishment
of the system Of one vote for one man.
