Up the Dance. But No Immediate Up
RISING Expected Unless the Old Chief
Thinks it Would Pay-The Whites to be
Turned Into Buffalo and Catfish.
MINNEApoLIs, Mimi, Nov. %. -A
Nandan On. d. special to the Tribune
says: A cores pondent obtains informa-
ton from the Sioux agency from two
absolutely reliable sources-one via
Hettinger County, from the western
part of the reservation and one from
Standing Rock, via Bismarck, as fol-
lows: Chances are against an imme-
diate uprising unless Sitting Bull
makes up his mind it would pay Sit
ting Bull would be arrested and put in
irons, but the agent is afraid this would
precipitate trouble. Agent McLaugh-
lin has lost control of Sitting Bull and
other leaders. At Bulls camp a dance
of two hundred braves keeps up day and
night. All reports that come by wire
from Fort Yates are colored. Nothing
but military, war and censorship eX-
ercised on every message. My agents
found it impossible to wire facts they
wanted to wire contained in this mes
sage. Indians with Sitting Bull don't
welcome even friendly whites, and

say all white men will be turned into
buffalo and catfish in the spring. The
Indians from Pine Ridge now with Sit
ting Bull are inspiring his followers
with Messiah hypocrisy. There are
insufficient troops at Standing Rock
to Justify such measures as the
suppression of Sitting Bull as
prudence would demand. In regard
to the former report that the Indian po-
lice had thrown down their uniforms
because Agent Mclaughlin sent them
to arrest refractory Indians, it is now
learned that instead of obeying orders
they threw off their clothes and joined
in the dance. They returned to- the
agency without their prisoners and Of
fered no excuse. Mclaughlin was
afraid to punish them and condoned
their offense. Sitting Bull is Jealous Of

Are Threatened with Massacre by the

MISNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Nov. 21.-A
Pierre Is. d. special to the Tribune
says: Captain Norville, a special agent
of the Government, stationed here to
adjulicate Indian claims, yesterday
paid visit to the Two Kettle band
of Sioux, living some distance up Bad
river. The Indians are partly civilized
and the report was circulated that they
were deserting their homes to go with
Pump and Big Foot's companies and
join the hostiles in their Christ
dances. When the Captain found these
fellows they positively denied it, and
made affidavit to that effect. The
Captain next waited upon Crow
Eagle and Pump Rib, the two
head men of the band. and they
told the Captain that emissaries had
visited them from the Cherry Creek
Indians, and one evening, while they
were having a pleasant little dance,
one of Big Foot's men came in and ad-
dressed them and told them about the
new Christ and how he was going to
lead the Indians into happiness and de-
stroy the whites. He said they knew
this was going to happen and urged
them to come over to the Cheyenne
river and join with them in their ghost
dances. But they told him they would
not go, and neither had they been there.
They told the Captain they wished he
would have it said in the Pierre
papers that they were not going to Join
in the new Messiah craze. Further
they stated that within the past few
days several of the hostiles had APP
peared among them, making threats
that if they. did not join them, enough
force would be sent at once to massacre
all the Two Kettle band without warn.

General Brooke, with Four Hundred
Troops, Reaches Pine Ridge Agency
After u Rough Forced March-The In

Ghost Dance-No .sMessiah'' Has Yet
Appeared.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov 21.-A Pine Ridge
IS d. special to the World-Herald
says: General Brooke and the mill
tary, numbering a few less than four
hundred, arrived at Pine Ridge Agency
at seven o'clock yesterday morning,
after the toughest forced marches over
experienced by the older members of
command. The troops suffered mate
rally from the cold during the march
of twenty-five miles, which was begun
at twelve o'clock. The roads are SO
rough that several wagons were over
turned on the way, and teamster
named Burke, from Fort Omaha, was
buried under one of them, his hip being
broken. Many long delays were caused
by such accidents.
There were no hostiles to meet the
soldiers when they arrived at the
agency, and they at once went into
camp on a plateau commanding the en-
tire valley. Jack Red Cloud and loe
of the fanatics were at Wounded Knee,
twenty-five miles away, putting the
finishing touches on the ghost dance.
This is the day set for the Messiah
to appear in the form of a buffalo, but
up to noon no stray Messiah nor buff
falo has been reported on the reserva-
ton The Indian police have all re-
sumed their duty. There are seldom
many Indians about the agency except
ing on issue days, consequently there is
a lack of hostiles about the post, most
all of them being down on the reserva-
ton at the various villages where they
are holding their horses in defiance of
the orders of the agent The next is
sue day is Monday.

'Ehe Mckinley bill will raise the
prices of all our goods" said Mr.. Har-
mon. at will raise the prices of wool
ems and linens more than cottons, but
will make every thing dearer. This
bill lays more specific duties than any
other tariff measure, and specific duties
always increase the prices on lower
grades, of goods. The poorer people
who bay them will feel the tariff more
than the wealthier classes

Fool we'll as Thief. and Gets Nabbed.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Nov. 21.-Moses S.
Marks, young man living at No. 264
Central avenue, was employed in the
Flour City Bank until fifteen months
ago, when he was discharged. Wednes-
day afternoon Marks went to the Vest
ern Union Telegraph office and sent
message to the National Bank of Com
mercc, of New York, the correspondent
Of the Flour City Bank. asking it to
send by express to the Flour
City Bank $4,000 in currency,
$40 and $40 bills. Marks signed
to the dispatch the name of William
Augustus Waters. cashier of the Flour
City Bank. Marks went to the Amer
lean Express office upon the arrival of
the package of money from New York,
signed for it, took the money and disap-
peared. The robbery and forgery was
discovered when Cashier Waters re-
ceived the daily mail and found in
it a letter from the National
Bank of Commerce advising him of
the money sent Mr.. Waters was
taken comple tely aback, as he had not
ordered the money. He sent at once to
the express Office to learn whether the
money was there. The express company
said the money had been given to
Marks, as it was supposed he was still
connected with the bank. 1t was then
that the forgery and robbery was dis
covered.
Word was sent to police headquarters,
and Chief Hayden Immediately started
out with officers of the bank to work on
the case.
At the American Express Office the Of
ficials stated that they had been told by
the detectives to say nothing about the
matter.
Cashier Waters stated that never be-
fore had money sent by express to the
bank been delivered to repre-
sentative of the bank. The
money packages were always sent
to the bank. 1--WE send money
to the express office by messengers,
said Mr.. Waters. but the express COM
pany should have delivered the money
to US at the bank.
Marks is twenJy-four years old. He
entered the service of the Flour City
Bank at the age of sixteen years
and rose to the position of note
teller. His industry and capa-
bility were recognized by the
officials of the bank, and about two
years ago he was promoted. He was
not discharged for any dishonest act.
Through the influence of Joseph Bier,
a friend OF the Marks family, posi-
tion was given the young man as trav-
cling salesman for the firm of
Moore & Bier, clothing manufact.
urers. About two months ago dis
patch to the Post-Express from Indian
apolis announced that Marks, who had
gone there in the interest of the firm,
had suddenly left that city without pay
ing his bill Marks left his samples,
which he had opened only for display,
in the Bates House.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to who is res ponsible for the
success of Marks in carrying out his
scheme.
