MANCHESTER, November 19.-The Guard
ian, in its review Of yesterdays market
says: "There was little alteration in the
state of business, and there were no signs OF
betterment. The demand appears to have
narrowed to the smallest possible limits.
Buyers were cautious mainly on account Of
the financial crisis. Much foreign business
has heretofore been done through Barring
Bros. & Co., and a brief suspense Is inevita-
BILE. Still sellers regard the situation with
composure and are patiently watching the
course of events"

Uncle Sam's sIuecoats Ready 10

OMAHA, Neb.. November ia World
Herald special from Rushyllle says that soon
as the troops arrived there today couriers
rushed with the news to the Pine Ridge
agency. Word was received from this agency
tonight that the bad Indians under Red
Cloud and Little Wound declare they will
meet the troops In a battle tomorrow.
Agent Roger said his Indian police were
powerless. The Indians at Pine Ridge are
about equally divided among the good and
bad. Red Cloud and Little Wound have
been fomenting trouble for several weeks.
Last week a big meeting was held about 30
miles from Pine Ridge at which reputed
apostle Of the Messiah was present. He told
the Indians to return to the agency and
await the coming Of the Messiah. who
Is to arrive tomorrow In the form Of a buffa-
10. This 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. Unless
there Is absolute failure to get word from the
Messiah on the day Of the arrival OF the
troops. conflict Is certain. Major
Buffers column went Into camp
tonight about 10 miles from Pine Ridge. The
officers are prepared for what seems now TO
be certain combat. Many friendly Indians
have left the agency and are now encamped
at Rushville. They have signified their in
tentiOu OF aiding the whites.

The Old and Famous English House
Not to Dissolve.

NEW YORK, November 1S.-The Pest, in
an interview with Mr.. Thomas Barring, of
the firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co., and
brother Of Lord Revelstoke, quotes that gen.
teman as follows: 81 wish to deny in the
most emphatic terms the statements or i'm
plcations that the house of Barring Brothers
will go into liquidation and cease to exist
within few years. There is absolutely no
other foundation for this statement than the
possible reorganization of the firm in conse-
quence of the retirement of Lord Revelstoke
from the head Of the house.
I'm order to accomplish this there may
possibly be q nominal liquidation, but the
business of the bank would continue as be-
fore in the hands of the reconstructed firm
A liquidation in the sense that the banks
affairs will be wound up and the houses ex-
istence be discontinued is not In the slight
est degree probable or credible.
"It is not even certain that Lord Revel-
stoke is to retire, though, as he is about 60
years old 1t is not improbable |, at least,
have not been Informed of his retirement,
and If the matter had been definitely settled,
l, being his brother, ought to have heard of

Irish Leaders Say That Parneli Has
Brought Their Country.

o'Brien and His Comrades Convict
ed by the CionmeI Court.

NEW YORK, November 19.-T. P. Gill,
M. p, stated tonight that the Irish delegates
in this country had cabled their colleagues
in Ireland to the following effect:
"We stand firmly by the leadership of the
man who has brought the Irish people,
through unparalleled difficulties and dangers,
from servitude and despair to the very
threshold of emancipation, with courage and
success unequalled in Irish history, and we
do so not only out of gratitude for these un-
paralleled services 10 the past. but in the
profound conviction that ParnelPs states
manship and matchless qualities as leader
are essential to the safety of the Irish
cause"
With regard to the effect which ParnelPs
conviction would have on the public mind in
England and Ireland, Mr.. Gill said: 81
think that over there the loathsome charac-
ter of Capt. O'Snea and the true facts of the
case. which were not brought out at the
trial, are so well known that the impression
produced on public opinion is very different
from what the cablegrams to this side would
indicate. 1t is well known that the same
parties who were interested in getting up
the Times commission are at the back of
this case and the attacks of Cory papers
are exactly what the same papers would have
written had Pigott succeeded in proving his
forgeries."

DANGER NOT OVER.
Miles Thinks Trouble Possible Dur
ing tho Next 48 Hours.

CHICAGO, November 19.-General Miles,
when questioned tonight in reference to the
Indian despatch from Rosebud Agency, said:
"Thls story appears to be premature. The
hope that no serious trouble would occur has
prompted the concession that none Is possl-
BILE. General Ruger recently passed along
the line Of the Sioux agencies. and by bis
personal influence and the movement Of a
few troops has. so far. restrained the turbu-
lent element and prevented any serious
trouble. Generals Ruger and Brooks are
acting with the utmost discretion and care to
prevent hOstllties, to protect tho settlements
and maintain the governments control over
the Indians. Whether this will be- success
full remains to be seen within the next As
hours. The danger Is not over. The Indl-
ans are scattered over several hundred miles
of territory, and aggregate 6000 warriors.
The troops scattered over this extensive ter
ritory number about 60O0, but not more than
1900 are effectively mounted"

tempestuous weather. Sunday, the second

violence until on Wednesday regular huT-
ricane was encountered. The steamer rolled
and pitched like chip and the waves dashed
over her, washing the bridge and smashing
the boats. The after deck was completely
filed with water and the vessel compelled 10
run three knots an hour. The hurricane
was accompanied by sleet storm wnlcn
lasted four days. Monday hail, snow ana
rain storm set In, and the vessel was washed
from stem to stern and the wheel.ho onse

was again experienced. The hull at times
was completely covered with water. The
weather did not moderate until the steamer
reached Cape Race on the 18th. The cap

would not care to repeat It. The Gothenburg
City passed three steamers homeward bound
Steamer Boston was not seen.
The steamer Hibernian also had terrible
time. She left Glasgow on the seventh. On

seas were encountered. At times the waves
would dash against the ships sides, giving
her shock as though she had struck an lee
