: New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The greatest
piece of news in Wall street is that John
D. and William Rockefeller, the Standard
Oil magnates, have acquired control of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, which
practically means the ousting of Henry
Willard. They are known to have been
heavy buyers of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred during the late decline in values.
The North American Company, by owner
ship of securities, had control of the
Northern Pacific, but much of the first
named company's assets have been closed
out during the past few days in hquida-
ton of its loans.
+. The Rockefellers bought in Northern
Pacific at the request of Jay Gould. They
have great amount of surplus money
for which they are seeking advantageous
investments The earnings of the North
ern Pacific are now the largest in the
history of the company. The company,
however, has been suffering from entan-
clements with the Willard corporations,
and the purpose of the Rockefellers is,
as stated, to remove it from them.
The Rockefellers have not hitherto en-
gagged in railroad operations. Their
wealth is SO great that, once having en-
barked in railroad affairs, it is in their
power to dominate them. There is a
scheme on foot to provide connections
for the Northern Pacific which will make
it an uninterrupted rail line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. By it's alliance
with the Wisconsin Central it already
reaches from Puget Sound to Chicago,
and it's route thence, it is said, will be by
way of the Baltimore & Ohio.

TROUBLE OVER THE FAIR.
Tho Chicago Directors and the NatiOAa
Commissioners at Odds.

q
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-World's Fair mat
tiers are in condition of confusion wofse
COMPOUNDED. 6he Herald says the entire
project is in grave danger; that the en-
terprise may be wrecked, that the strug-
gle between the dual authorities may
become so bitter that the Fair may he
abandoned and Congress called upon by
the National Commission to dissolve That
organization and repeal the act selecting
Chicago as the location for the expo4i-
ton. "These questions, and others OF
similar import" it says, "were heard
wherever the Commissioners we're con-
gregated last night, and some of them
are quoted as saying that unless the
South Park Commissioners come to terms
at once, the whole site question will BE
opened again, and that means no Worlds
Fair in Chicago.
"Judging from other sentiments e4-
hibited it is certain that the National
Commission will not tolerate many of the
plans of the local directory.
"Many of the commissioners openly de-
clare that they have lost confidence in
the local directory, and that this feeling
is SO general in the commission that NO
further negotiations can be conducted
with them with any assurance that ma
tional interests will not again be be
trayed." :
The situation at present is that tbs
South Park Commissioners and the dt
rectors are arrayed against the national
body, and is difficult to see how dead
lock can be avoided.

Red Cloud Says He will Meet the Troops
TO-MOrrow.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 20.-A special from
Rushville brings word that as soon as
troops arrived there couriers rushed with
the news to Pine Ridge Agency.
Word has just been received from this
agency that the bad Indians under Red
Cloud and Little Wound declare that
they will meet the troops in battle to-
morrow.
Agent Roger was interviewed. He said
his Indian police were powerless. One of
them, Thunder Bear, arrested a bad In
dian last Saturday, but was overpowered
by others and the prisoner was released.
Several other prisoners were released,
and the rebels threatened to burn the
agency buildings. Roger has been send
ing his reports recently to the War De-
partment, and the Indians were not
aware of the coming of the troops until
to-day. He relates that on Monday he
was approached from behind by a bad
Indian, who drew a knife and threatened
to kill him. Roger was unarmed and at
the Indians mercy. The latter for som e
reason desisted. Roger tried to get him
arrested but could not.
fomenting trouble for several weeks,
while American Horse and Young-M Man
Afraid-o of His-Horse, have tried to pacify
the warriors. Last week big meeting
was held about 80 miles from Pine Ridge
at which a reputed apostle of the Messiah
was present. He told the Indians to re-
turn to the agency and await the coming
of the Messiah, who, is to- arrive to-
morrow in the form of O. buffalo. He
will give the signal for the opening of
the conflict which is to annihilate the
white race This fact causes great fear
in the minds of old Indian fighters. I'm
less there is an absolute failure to get
word from the Messiah on the day of the
arrival of the troops, a conflict is certain.
Major Buffers column went into camp
about 10 miles from Pine Ridge. The
officers are prepared for what seems now
to be a certain combat.

The Situation Again Becoming Normal
in Wall Street
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-With the excep-
ton of the appointment of a receiver of
the North River Bank there was nothing
to stir the placidity of the financial
center in this city.
Evidently surprised that there were no
further failures, the manufacturers of
rumors made some themselves. 1t was
industriously whispered around that one
of the younger trust companies was in a
bad way and would fail before the day
ended. It didn't fail, and investigation
revealed no cause for the story.
J. Edward Simmons and other finan-
ciers said that the situation was again
becoming normal, and that their ad-
vices from London were of the most re-
assuring nature.
