MANDAN IN DANGER.
Indians Threaten to Burn the Town and
slaughter the People.

Indians Threaten to Burn the Town and
Slaughter the People.
The latest news from the great Sioux Res
ervation is OF an alarming character. A
friendly Indian just arrived in Mandan,
n. D., says that the Indians are moment
ariIy becoming more and more excited,
urged on by their willy medicine men, and
that they propose to attack Fort Abraham
Lincoln, knowing that it is defended by
only fifty soldiers. Having captured this
fort, they next propose to make
descent upon Mandan in the night,
sack and burn the town, and put the
Inhabitants to death. The greatest alarm
prevails among the people there IL conse-
quence of this report. 1t is reported that
the Indian police at Standing Rock Agency
have torn off their badges and revolted.
These Indian police had been counted on to
assist in quieting their excited brethren in
the camps should they decide to go on the
warpath Numbers of settlers from all di-
rections have moved into Mandan for
fear of the Indians. Rowing bands
that are travelling through the coun-
try say the war of the messiah will begin
shortly, then every white man will be
killed. A party of Sioux have come south,
telling the people on the way that they
would soon be back with Gh6 army OIL Cno
messiah, and would capture Fort Lincoln,
with guns and ammunition, and then move
on to Mandan, scalp all the white men, and
b urn the town. The people are alarmed as
they never were before Not man is to be
found who does not regard the situation as
most serious. The Indians travelling
through the country are wonderfully sullen
and insolent, and all are armed with
the best Winchester rifles and any
amount of ammunition. commit
tee was appointed to go out into
the remote settlements and bring the
women and children to town. The Mandan
Court House will be turned into an arsenal
and the people will move up there The
troops at Fort Yates and Fort Lincoln have
been ordered to be in readiness for march
ing orders at moments notice. There is
much uneasiness among the settlers west of
the Missouri River, and many families have
moved up to Mandan and across the river.
Old frontiersmen declare, however, that
general uprising this late in the fall is not
probable.

SIG. suCCI FEELS WELL.

Getting On Comfortably with His Fast.
Fas ter Succi, of New York, felt better on
the twelfth day Of his fast than at any
time since the fourth day Of his abstinence.
His good condition was largely due to
sound and refreshing sleep lasting from
from forty minutes past IL until ten
minutes past the next morning.
He was so sleepy that he went to
sleep again, not waking until after g. His
grip pressure in the dynamometer was less
than at night, being only forty against
sixty kilos. His pulse was sixty-four and
his temperature ninety-seven. Between
o'clock in the afternoon and 10 o'clock
the next morning he drank four ounces
of water and twenty-five ounces OF
Kaiser water. Mixed with this water was
thirty-two drops in all of his elixir. Succi
takes the elixir constantly now, as he is be-
ginning to feel the strain on his stomach,
and claims the elixir alone permits him to
evade the stomach pains. 81 m not hungry"
he said as he lay in bed He was not in Wig
orous trim, however, as he felt no desire to
indulge in his customary sword practice.
Over 1000 people visit Succi every day, and
he says that the excitement of seeing visitors
is better than food.

BUSINESS Is GOOD.
The Great Smash in Wall Street Has Not
Affected the Country.

The Great Smash in Wall Street Has Not
Affected the Country.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says:
Those who have long expected severe re-
action on the stoc ok market have now seen
the average of prices thrown back to lower
point than has been touched at any other
time for more than four years. 1t remains
the fact that the legitimate business
throughout the country is the largest ever
known, not much inflated or endangered by
speculation, and so far complaints in regard
to collections have been much fewer than
usual. The check now sustained may not
improbably produce some shrinkage in
transactions and di-ninution of profits,
but the industrial and commercial condi-
tions have been so favorable that
speculative disturbances are the less
likely to affect general business seriously.
Reports from other cities show that at most
points the events in Wall street have little
or no effect as yet. At Chicago money is
active at per cent, but country banks are
sending in funds for investment, Eastern
disturbances are little felt; grain and cured
meats equal last years; a slight loss is seen
in dressed beef butter, and cheese. and a
heavy loss in hides, but a liberal gain in
wool and lard, while trade in dry goods,
clothing, and shoes is much larger, with sat-
isfactory collections. No other Western
point shows disturbance in trade, though
money is generally close.

MANY FORTUNES IN 1T.
Pension Attorneys VIII Reap a Rich Il

Pension Attorneys Will Reap Rich Har-
vest from the Latest Measure.
A long dispatch from ashington en-
deavors to show that the dependent pension
bill was intended to benefit the pension at
torneys rather than the old soldiers. In the
article these statements occur:
Under the Dependent Pension bill, passed
June Or 1890, $780, 900 claims have already
been fled. The total annual expenditure
which these claims, exclusive of all other
pensions, will cause is at the lowest possible
estimate $40, 900, O0O By the end of another
fiscal year the total number of claims fled
under the same act will probably amount
to 100000. The total annual expenditure
which these claims, exclusive of all other
pensions, will cause is estimated at $64, $780,
600. OF these claims 90 per cent. are fled
through attorneys. At the rate allowed
by law, 10 for each case, the fees of
the attorneys under this act alone will
amount to $780, 00 By the end of an
other fiscal year the new act and the opera
tion of the old acts will have increased our
pension expenditures to more than $780,
600, 900 a year. There are now pending in
the Pension Bureau 100000 claims of all
kinds. With the clerical force at the bu
reaus disposition it is possible to dispose of
about 900 cases month In other words,
the cases are piling up, through the opera
tion of the new law, twice fast as they
can he handled.

Cen. Rnoth,s Latest Scheme.

Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army, has
written letter in which he proposes that
all the funds which may be donated to his
Darkest England scheme shall constitute a
permanent charitable trust and that this
trust shall be arranged and conducted in
such a manner as to render him and his
successors in the control of the work direct
1y responsible before the courts for malver-
satfon of the funds to any gross misman-
agement of the business. Justin Mccarthy
and Mrs. Lynn-L Linton have written to eX
press their sympathy with Gen. Booths

FLEEING FROM THEIR HOMES.
North Dakota Settlers Fear Indian
Uprising.

North Dakota Settlers Fear an Indian
Uprising.
Settlers on the farms and ranches south
of Mandan, n. D., are fleeing from their
homes, believing that an Indian uprising is
near at hand. They urgently demand pro-
lection, and many a farmhouse in North
Dakota will soon be deserted unless the
settlers receive some assurance that they
will not be left to the mercy of the murder
GUS redskins, who are now whetting their
knives in anticipation of the moment
when they may begin their bloody
work. The Indians are trading their horses
and all other property for guns and ammu-
milton, and will be well prepared when the
outbreak comes. Mandan hardware men
have sold all their ammunition to them.
Joseph Buckley, just in from the Reserva-
tion, says the Indian Agents are harboring
a feeling of false security, and that the
danger will be realized when it is too late.
The Mayor of Mandan has called public
meeting, and the Government will be petit
toned for guns to arm the citizens. The
Indians say they will have everything to
gain and nothing to lose by an uprising If
they are beaten their rations will be
doubled, as in the past Buckley says
every Indian on the reservation will shortly
go on the warpath and that they have got
possession of Clusters rifles which the
United States army has never found.

MORE IRISH EvICTIONs.
Tenants Driven from Their Homes by the
Landlord-Pitiful Scenes.


Landlord-Pitifu1 Scenes.
Dispatches from the scene of the evictions
at Ardsberg, on the Olphert estates, in
County Donegal, describe many pitiful oc-
currences. Sixteen families comprising 100
persons, were evicted, and the process will
go on until about fifty families are dispos-
sessed. There was a squabble during the
proceedings, caused by the activity of
J. G. S. MacNeill, M. P. for South
Donegal, in championing the interests of the
tenants Mr.. MacNeill chalked the sleeves
of policemen who were particularly rough
in handling the tenants, and warned them
that he would cause them to be prosecuted
for misbehavior. The marking was done in
order to identify the officers, as the
authorities refused to make them
wear badges. The numerous English
visitors who were present to wit
ness the evictions held meeting afterward
at which resolutions were adopted express
ing their Indignation over the affair. The
London Times correspondent in his account
of the proceedings alleges that, though in
the houses where eviction was anticipated
no food was found, two tons of excellent
potatoes were discovered in one dwelling

smoke1ess Powder unsuccessful.

The War Department has been watching
closely the smokeless powder experiments
made by various governments. The report
of General Benet, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Ordnance, does not encourage
the notion that the powder has been
perfected to the extent that it's use
is practicable. General Benet says: ok
periments have been actively prosecuted at
the National Armory, using small caliber
arm. and large number of powders, both
American and foreign were tried during
the last twelve months with, in most cases,
unsatisfactory results.n

MRS. BIRCHALL. TO see Uno farm. With
the understanding that if he liked it he was
to pay $4,000 for a half interest in it. On
Feb. S, Mr.. and Mrs. Birchall, Benwell and
Pelly sailed from Liverpool on the Britain
mic, reached New York Feb IA, and
registered at the Metropolitan Hotel.
On the following Saturday they left on
the Erie Railroad for Buffalo. 1t was de-
cided that Birchall and Benwell should go
on the O'Clock train the next morning to
the Falls and prepare for the reception of
PelIy and Mrs. Birchal. Birchall came
back the following night alone. he said
that Benwell didn't like the farm or the
people and that he refused positively to
stay there. Birchall said he had given him
the addresses of people further on in the
country and started him off to see if he
could find place he liked. He told Pelly
that he wasn't ready to go to the farm, for
Mcdonald, his superintendent, had rented
the place to some tenants and that things
were in bad shape. His suggestion that
they go on to Niagara Falls and wait few
days was accepted.
On Tuesday, Feb. Is, Bircha1I, his wife
and PelIy went to Clifton. Ont, just across
the Niagara River from Suspension Bridge.
Birchall and Pelly stopped at boarding
house, while Mrs. Birchall lived at the I'm
perial Hotel. A week was spent there,
Pelly all the time fretting at the delay and
BirchalI calming him with plausible stories
Among other falSehOOdS he said that he had
received letter from BenWeu lnclOSlng the
receipt for BenwelFs bonded luggage and
requesting that it be sent him when he
wanted it. The first bad break made by
Birchall was on Feb. %, when he showed
Pelly copy of q New York news
paper containing an account of the finding
of Benwell's body in the tamarack swamp
on William Hersey's farm in Princeton,
Ont. The cigar case with the name "F. G.
Benwelln on it proved beyond doubt whose
body it was. Birchall said he would go at
once and see the body, and Pelly instantly
said that he would accompany him.
The evidence against Birchan at the trial
was very strong all material points ex-
cept as to the actual killing of BenwelI.
It was proved that he was seen with Ben
we'll Immediately before the, murder and
was seen alone Immediately after, but there
the direct evidence stopped.

company containing $4,000 disappeared
mysteriously and Richardson was arrested
charged with the theft and kept in jail un-
til two weeks ago, when he was released on
the grounds of insufficient evidence to con-

box was found, minus the money, near the

The Dread Disease of Consumption May

The Dread Disease of Consumption May
Yet Be Vanquished.
Prof. Koch's great discovery of a cure
for consumption is attracting great atten-
ton in the medical world. His method is
to inoculate the patient with lymph, the
preparation of which is his great secret.
"Professor Koch holds supreme sway over
public interest in Berlin The publica
tion of the Professors statement has inten-
sifed the excitement both in Berlin and
abroad, and from every center of Europe
and America kilograms of inquiry are pour
ing in on KOCH Pfuhl, Cornell, Bergman,
and the other medical men who are known
to be engaged in treating patients by the
new method. Many medical men, including
a number of English and American physi-
clans, have been studying the process under
DR.. Levy in the small wards of a pri-
vate hospital Here, since October, eight
prominent cures of cOnsumptives have been
in progress. Dr. Levy every morning shows
his patients to the visiting physicians and
illustrates the peculiar features of the new
method as visible in individual cases. Adj
dressing group of physicians in his private
laboratory, DIR. Levy said: "The remedy
not only attacks particular places and
groups of bacilli, but rapidly annihilates all
tuberculosis bacilli with which bodies are in
tested. We now know that the curative mat
ter acts equally upon all groups The first
care is to free the organism from baccilli.
To attain this end we apply massage at an
early stage of the treatment to the glands,
joints, etc, affected by tuberculosis in order
to force the bacilli which have encased
themselves in cysts into the blood channels,
where we can more easily reach them than
when they are in those parts where the cir
culation has little influence

Conservatives Exult.

The leading Conservative newspapers of
England comment on the withdrawal of the
appeal for funds by the American Commit
tee on the Irish Famine as confession
that no famine exists, and that there is no
real fear of any want that cannot be met
by local and imperial authority. They say
that the Parnellites over-reached them
selves in creating the apprehension of FAM
inc, and are now compelled to virtually ac-
knowledge that they have been duping the
public at home and abroad.

houses and is now in the hands of Gov.

is the opinion of all that he will veto the

WIDESPREAD PANIC AvERrED.
The Great Banking House eff Barring
Bros. London, Narrowly Escapes Eouin.

The Great Banking House of Barring
Bros, London, Narrowly Escapes Eouin.
The great house of Barring Brothers, of
London, the largest banking hoase in the
world, and whose stability has been 'consid-
cred only second to that of the Bank of
England itself, has narrowly escaped ruin.
The impending failure OF this great house,
vaguely rumored, had unsettled the money
markets of the world for week. and when
the announcement came that the Earrings
had been obliged to seek the assistance of
the Bank of England to keep them from
ruin, a panic set in in the financial centers
both of Europe and America. In New York
stocks of every kind went plunging down to
the lowest level reached for a long time,
and on the Chicago Board of Trade
wheat and all other speculative products
took dive toward the bottom What had
really happened to the great house OF
Barring Brothers, house that had withstood
the financial storms of "a century, was this:
For the last five or six years the Earrings
have been investing heavily in the securi-
ties of the Argentine Republic. The revO-
luton in that country last summer natur-
ally caused a great shrinkage in the value
of its securities. So heavily loaded was the
great London house with these bonds,
that when it became necessary to raise
ready money it was impossible to do SO. A
failure must have occurred had not the
Bank of England and several private banks
in London come to the rescue with a guar
antee fund of $55, 100000 to prevent the
threatened smash. The failure of the Bar
ings would have precipitated panic in
Europe and America such as has not been
known for many years. The total liabili-
ties of the firm are estimated at $105, 100000,
while the assets, at present prices arc val
ned at 500 600 900.

step evidence that his
associates, almost from the moment he was
trusted about alone, were of evil character.
In 1883 Birchall married the daughter OF
David Stephenson, General Traffic Manager
of the London and Northwestern Railroad.
The young womans family were opposed
to the match, but she finally eloped with
him. The couple went to Woodstock,
Canada. A peace was patched up between
BirchalI and his wife's parents, and in the
spring of 1889 the couple returned to En-
gland and lived in Mr.. Stephenson's house
at Upper Norwood road, London. Birchall
secured employment with a firm OF pho
tographers in London.
In London Birchall continued to lead g.
fast life and he was soon at his wits end
for money. 1t was during this period that
the scheme which resulted in the murder of
BenweLl was concocted. The first step in
the crime was the insertion in the papers OF
the following advertisement:
CANADA - UNIVERSITY MAN HAVING
~ farm wishes to meet gentleman's son to live
with him and learn the business with view TO
partnership must have $500 to extend stock;
board, lodging and per cent. interest till part
nership arranged; highest references.
Many replies were received to the ad-
vertisement but only two of them received
