to deposit mis- own ballot. The judge of

ballots through the aperture of the little
cigar box.
A hot dispute followed, and the Cap

About johnson Sides, the Messiah,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In last evenings STAR, speaking of the Indian
campaign in the west, you quote from letter
received by Gen. Miles from an army officer at
Los Angeles, Cal, in which he SAYS he believes
johnson Sides is the Indian proclaiming him.
self the Messiah. This is a mistake 1 know
johnson Sides well, and have known him
since 1876. Although leader among his
people the Piutes) he is good
hearted, well-meaning Indian and always anx-
ious to assist in quieting in an amicable way
any differences arising between his followers
and the whites append an article have
clipped from the Reno (Nev) Gazette of the
10Th instant that may. prove of interest

and may also throw some light on
the matter as to who is posing as the Messiah.
and thereby creating the great distusbsnce. II
will be noticed that johnson Sides who boasts
OF his ability to read the Bible and has a limited
knowledge of its teachings, regards the occa-
sion as one calling for the use Of forcible and
expressive language. The article saws: John
son Sides blew into the CARTE Office this morn
ing with the information that he had been mis-
represented through the press. Sides
said Jack Wilson, Pluto Indian. we'll
known In western Nevada, is the fellow who is
making all the fuss. johnson saws: Him heap

ITO make very long story short, Sides saws
he wants to put himself right in the eyes of the
world. He says he takes no stock in the
prophecies of the Messiah and wants that fact
distinctly understood; that he is against him
all the time, and he don't want him to be
'raisin' hell with good Injuns any more, but
want all Injuns to go to work an earn good

A HOPEFUL SIGN.
The Ghost Dance Being Abandoned by Some
of the Indiana.

The War Department this morning received
news that the Cheyenne river Indians have
abandoned their ghost dance and came in for
rations. This is regarded as a most hopeful
sign Of abatement of the excitement. Great
benefit is believed TO have resulted from the
employment Of friendly Indians as government
scouts, and the department has just authorized
Gen. Miles to increase the number OF such
scouts in the department Of Dakota to 100
1t is said at army headquarters that the pay
ment of sls per month to each Indian scout.
with the privilege OF wearing a blue army
blouse and an acknowledged connection with
the United States government. are inducements
too powerful for the average Indian TO resist. as
was proven in the celebrated Crow outbreak.
The 100 scouts enlisted will. it is hoped. exert
a strong peaceful influence through their family
and tribal relations.

An Important Pension Decision.

Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered a de-
cision on question raised by the commissioner
of pensions as to the construction of the act of
June "a, 1890. The point raised was: IF
claimant shall show an honorable discharge
from the minimum service of ninety days and
yet it appears that he re-enlisted in the same OF
other organization anu dishonorably dis
charged or deserted therefrom would he have
status to apply for a pension under the act of
June a. 1892 1t is evident. says Gen. Bussey,
if the soldier, after receiving an honorable dis
charge from the original service of ninety DAYS.
had never re-enlisted he would occupy a pen
sionable status: he might become dependent
pensioner under the act of June q, 1880. by
reason of his service; but the fact that he re-
enlisted put him back into the service and
rendered him non-pensionable during his sec
ond term of enlistment. The re-enlistment is
construed as a continuation of the soldier in
the same service, from which, according to the
new law, there must ultimately be an honorable
discharge as a perquisite to pensionable de-
pendence.

Facts Contained IN the Report OF Prof.
Elliott on the Subject.
Prof II. r.. Elliott of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition will present to Congress on its reas-
sembling his report on the seal fur industry.
In his report Prof. Elliott. it is understood. will
recommend that the catch of fur seals at the
American rookeries be suspended for period of
seven years. This period OF inactivity he consid-
ers absolutely necessary for the preservation of
the seals from utter annihilation. At the pres
ent time he estimates that there are only
100. 900 seal in American waters. The continued
depredations upon them by pirates and other
wise has reduced the number so much that
hardly a sufficient number remain for breeding
purposes. The utmost care ne considers
necessary to preserve the few that remain
or the magnificent industry which was pur-
chased from Russia with the Alaska cession
will become extinct. 1t on account of
Prof. Eihott's knowledge of the fur seal indus

gress to visit Alaska and make a report on the
subject. The agents of the fur seal companies.
who enjoyed the privilege about the Islands of
st. George and st. Paul. made representations
that there were 1.000.000 seal in the Ameri-
can rookeries. Other reports placed the
number at 500 600 and still others at a
lesser number. All these reports all conflict
ing and made by parties more or less inter-
ested. induced Congress to send Prof Elliott
to Alaskan waters, and his report that not over
100. 900 seals have survived the war of extermi-

destruction. and his recommendation that the
catch be suspended for seven years will doubt
less be acquiesced in by Congress

THE MILITARY ACADEMY.
Report of the Board of Visitors and Their
Recommendations.


Recommendation,
The board of visitors TO the West Point Mill
tary Academy, of which Gen. Hawley is presi-
dent. in Its report says that Supt. Wilson eY-
tended every facility TO the board. The build
ings were found TO be in very good condition
and with the appropriation already made the
post will have all necessary buildings. The es-
Inmates for improvements (s20l Old, submitted
by the superintendent, are says the board, I'M
doubtedly necessary. In view of the very
large appropriation .0oo), now une,-
pended. however, the board does not urge the
appropriation of the entire amount suggested
for the coming fiscal year.
The board recommends that q new floor be
laid in the mess hall, but does not recommend
the installation Of en- electric light plant until
the new buildings are completed. Although
the location of the new academic buildings is
left bv law to others. the board recommends
that the old historic buildings now in use be
preserved. In the reconstruction OF the quar-
tiers for enlisted men the present low and un-
sanitary location should be abandoned. The
of the library is also recommended.
as well as the application of part OF the rental OF
the hotel 10 its enlargement Touching the dis
cipline at the academy the board finds the
methods adapted TO the best interests of the
cadets and temperately but firmly applied.
The recitations showed clearly that the system
of instruction had resulted In practical educa-
ton of high order.
As the present accommodations will enable
the academy to receive and graduate 100 more
cadets yearly than at present, the board rec
ommend that some action be taken 20 keep up
the full quota of cadets. Partly from delays in
the appointment, and more often from failures
TO fiji vacancies, the number of cadets present. in
the academy Is AT all times much
less than the number directed under the
present law. To meet this difficulty the board
suggests that members of the House be urged
to make nominations OF principals and alter
mates one year before the examination. Exam
nations might also be held at several other
places besides West Point
The President should also be authorized 20
nominate five persons at large every year and
to keep this number filled when any vacancy n
created Each Senator should also be requested
to nominate a candidate, under the same con-
ditions as Representatives

Representative Peters of Kansas, who, by re-

Mr.. Peters ought 10 know something about the
alliance. for it was in his district that the al

publican candidate out of his silk socks, TO use
a slang expression.
He thinks that the alliance movement is like
an epidemic, the grip, for instance. and that it
is passing over the country from west to east.
Its influence, he thinks. will be felt in all the
northern and eastern states whose population
is made up to any extent of agriculturlsts.
His idea is that the worst of il Is over in the
west. but that the east is yet To have its turn.

hard raps before they get through with 1t.

1t Is understood that arrangements have
been made for democratic caucus, probably
joint caucus, as soon as the democrats get

Tuesday night.
The purpose is TO consider the program Of
the minority for the session. They will, doubt
less decide TO hold out as long as possible
against the federal election bill and the APP
portionment bill, if one of partisan character
Is proposed.
1t is not expected that there will be any

extravagant.
The turkey for each family will be cooked
before it 10 sent but the vegetables will be sent

poor people have not stoves suitable for bak-
ing turkey. A carefully selected list OF nearly
200 families has been prepared. Thu list may
be increased if the donations increase Up to
this time nearly $500 have been received, be-
