GOOD FOR BOHEMIAN.
That Pretty City Now owns . Splendid
New Opera House.

Special to the standard.
BozEMAS, Oct. G.-The value Of good
opera house is now fully appreciated.
The building which has been erected and
Is owned by the city of Bozeman is a
credit in every particular and is pro-
nounced by all theatre men who have
seen II as the peer Of any opera house on
the line Of the Northern Pacific between
81. Paul and the coast. IL has seating
capacity OF one thousand, is lighted by
electricity, heated by steam and has n
complete system Of waterworks, and Is
furnished with nine complete sets OF
scenery together with accessories and is
handsomely draped. this portion Of the
work being done by the Sosman q Landis
company of Chicago.
II is an unusual thing for city TO own
an opera house, but in this instance the
experiment is proving a success. Mayor
Pease aud the city council are managing
the institution with conservatism and
good judgment. They have appointed w.
w. Livingston as manager Of the house,
and by his close attention TO the many de-
tails Of such position he is gaining the
appreciation Of our theater-goers. The
house was opened by the Caroline Gage

siah.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.~rhe Indian
bureau has received from Agent Nc.
Laughiin atStandiae Rock Indian agency,
areport upon the prospective outbreak
among the Sioux in consequence of the
New .dessiah.n He says, in part: ~ do
not wish 10 be understood as considering
the present state Of excitement so alarm
ing as TO indicate any immediate uprising
or serious outbreak, but | do feel Il my
duty to report the present craze and the
nature OF the excitement existing among
the Sitting Bull factions OF the Indians
over the expected Indian millennium, the
annihilation OF the white man aud the SUI
premacy OF the Indians, which is looked
for not later than next spring.
Herepeats in detail the stories which
have been told the Indians by medicine
men AID adds: "Sitting Bull is the high
priest and leading apostle of this latest
Indian absurlity. In word he Is the
chief mischief maker at this agency. and
IL he were not here this craze, SO great
among the Sioux, would never have got
ten foothold at this agency. lie has
been the disturbing element since his re-
turn from confinement as military pris-
oner in the spring of 1883, but has been
growing worse the past year, which is
partly TO be accounted for by the pres
ence of lady from Brooklyn, named
Mrs. Weldon, who came here
in June, 1889, announcing herself
as member OF DR.. BANDS society
and opposed TO the Indians ratifying the
act of March ., 1889. While here she be
slowed numerous presents upon Sitting
Bull, and considerable money, which had
demoralizing effect, Initiating him with
his Importance.
The woman is now located just outside
OF this reservation and about twenty-five
miles north OF the agency. Sitting Bull
has been n frequent visitor TO her
house, and he has grown more insolent
and worthless with every visit he has
made there, her lavish expenditure OF
mohey and her gifts to him enabling him
20 give frequent feasts and hold councils.
On the 9Th inst, upon invitation from
Sitting Bull, an Indian named Kicking
Bear, belonging TO the Cheyenne River
agency, chief medicine man Of the ghost
| dance among the Sioux, arrived at Sitting
Bulls camp, on Grand river, to inaugu-
rate ghost dance and initiate the mem-
bers. l sent a detachment Of Indian
policemen TO arrest and escort him from
the reservation, but they returned without
executing the order, both officers being in
dazed condition, and fearing the power
of Kicking Bears medicine.

SANDERS is SINKING.

Special TO the Standard.
BozEMAS, Oct. ia supreme stiffness
and quiet has pervaded the city all day,
the occasion for il being the fact that
Sanders was going 10 speak here tonight.
The only thing occurring 10 break the
monotony was the music Of the band at
the door of the hall after which the seats
OF the building began to I'LL. The chair
man OF the meeting introduced Charles

usual high tribute 10 the intelligence of
the public in general and particularly TO
that existing in the democratic party. lie

fact that they were not republicans and
then proceeded to convince them Of their
errors by frantically waving the bloody
shirt.
Mr.. Sa nders was introduced and in ac-
cor,lance with his usual custom carefully
laid his handkerchief on the table. When
ever he desired applause he would return
TO the table, pick up the handkerchief and
the hosts would respond under the leader

funny stories received the proper recep-
tion, Mr.. Sanders began by paying a
high eulogy 10 Hon. W. W. Dixon.
Sanders proceeded To pitch into that
poor old shirt which. had already been
squeezed by Hartman until hardly drop
Of blood remained. Then he accused the
| democrats of destroying an established
church. but the dubious looks OF the audi
ence indicated that they could not grasp
the meaning OF the speakers logic. He
stated that il was pity that manufac-
turers we're going 10 Mexico because peon
labor could be hired for ten cents a day
but he did not state why II was that

ABOUT RAILWAY RATES.
The Interstate Commission Favors the
Roads.


WASHINGTON. Oc. IA lengthy decis-
ion Of the interstate commerce commits
sion, made by Bradley, commissioner,
was announced to-day in the case Of
George Rice against the Southern Pacific
railway company, the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railway company and others
in reference 10 rates on petroleum and its
products to California points, as affected
by the long and short haul clause. The
decision is in favor Of the railroad lines,
aud maintains the position that under the
act 10 regulate commerce they have a
right TO make lower rates at California
water and terminal points on this kind of
traffic 20 meet the competition of the
water lines about reducing their rates to
the same level at intermediate points,
where no such competition exists.
The decision also sustains the carriers
in making blanket rate, As II is called
on this traffic, being n through-rate, the
same to California points from oil points
in the United States, east OF I he s7tl
meridian of longitude, OH the ground that
this rate has its origin and is based upon
actual competition between all the rail
lines on one side and the water lines
which are not subject 10 the act TO regu
late commerce on the other, and in refer
ence TO the carriage Of freight in large
amount. Tho decision states the Other
claim Of the complainant that the defend
ant rail carriers make low rates 10 the re
ceiving tank stations in California to favor
the Standard oil trust and its affiliated
companies, firms, associations and then
low rates from such receiving tank stations
TO adjacent points, whereby the prefer
ence is given these shippers over other
shippers Of this kind Of freight, is not con
tanned by evidence IN the proceedings

10 publish its rates as TO this class oi

ordered to publish its rates as TO this class
Of freight in its westbound tariff between

As To the transcontinental lines the
complaint is dismissed, but is held for

erals was held here to-day at which Glad

expression Of the country's opinion re-
gardiug home rule before announcing a
premature scheme. He urged the people
10 closely watch the naval and military
expenditures which, he declared, had
gone beyond the bounds Of prudence and
propriety.
Referring to the foreign policy of the
government Gladstone blamed Salisbury
for sending an accredited envoy 10 the
vatican. The sending Of Simmons 10 a
counsel with the pope regarding tie
rights % the Catholic church in
Malta came dangerously near 20 sup
porting the papal claims TO clerical do
miuion over a part OF Italy.
Continuing Gladstone said the accounts
Of the internal oppression in Russia
raised feelings akin 10 adherence, andhe
trusted the world would soon be favored
with better reports. Regarding Armenia
aud the misrtlle of the porte, be said the
long series Of outrages committed by the
Turks on the Christians might eventually
seal the doom Of the once great Turkish
empire.
Referring to home politics, Gladstone
said there were seven test questions apart
from that % home rule for ireland.
namely, temperance, the S-hour law,
discsiablishment Of the Scotch church,
disestablishment Of the Weleh church,
woman suffrage, home rule for Scotland
and allotments. But, he cautioned, the
liberal party is against dividing one large
army into seven small ones by declining
to support a candidate who does not ac-
