The Murder of General seliverskoff.


PARIS, Nov. 20.-At the request of the
Russian embassy no autopsy will be held
on the body of General Seliverskoff The
government is acting energetically against
the Nihilists in Paris.
Lie Mdttn says the police believe the kill
ing was an act Of private vengeance. Pod
lesky was the lover of girl who had been
entlced by woman at the instance of
Selverskotf into house of ill-fame. This,
1t IS claimed, was the motive for the crime.
a llason existed between the woman who
induced the girl to visit the house and
Seliverskoff.
N1hilists here affirm that the general
director of the Russian police is in France
and played an important part in the recent
arrests of Nihllists in Paris. The news
papers recall the fact that a servant OF
Se1verskoff named Muller was assassin
ated In Paris in 1883, and that the murderer
was never found. Since that the general
has received number of letters threaten
ing him with death.
The Ecldir says the Nihilist committee
had decided that if Sophia Gunsberg, ar
rested at st. Petersburg for having bombs
was sentenced to death, Seliverskoff should
be killed. The woman was sentenced to be
hanged Monday. The shooting of the gen
eral occurred the day after
A person resembling Podlesky crossed
the Belgian frontier Tuesday night.

SOME VERY REAsSURING SIGNS,
The Rosebud Reds With Wagons Going
for Agency Supplies-A New Agent
Partly to Blame

Fort NIoBRARA, Neb., via Valentine,
Neb., Nov. 20.-Troops from Fort Niobrara
reached Rosebud agency early this morning
and found all quiet and peaceful. The
Messiah craze has not been as prevalent at
Rosebud agency and most of those affected
by it left several days ago for Pine Ridge
to participate in the ghost dances. The
arrival Of large numbers of Indians with a
dozen wagons yesterday in Valentine
for the purpose of freighting agency goods
to Rosebud when they knew the troops
were marching to the agency, was assuring
to the people that little trouble was to be
apprehended. 1t is also considered good
evidence that there will be no trouble at
Pine Ridge, where, it is thought, most of
the present row is caused by a new and in
experienced agent.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Fwo of the best

wagered on bird race $4,000 side. if
the efforts to bring about match which
are now well under way are successful.

Murphy at Long Branch early in the fall
Mr. Macalister's friends have been irving

nerVy Quaker City man and Captain Elliot
Both are willing to shoot for so, 900 a side.
and If Captain Elliot will agree to shoot at
thirty yards rise and fifty yards boundary
which conditions he is said to favor a
match may be completed within week.
Several shooting grounds have been sug-
gested at which to shoot the race but
from present indications the Westminster
Kennel club at Babylon, will be selected.
1t was on these grounds that the great
race for $4,000 between Mr.. Macalister
and DeLee KNAPP, of the Union club. was
shot last year and the men who backed the
New orker to the extent of nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars on thar
occasion, will probably select the Philadel-
phlan as winner, if the proposed match is
completed
Some of Edgar Murphys friends believe
he was not at his best when Captain Elliot
defeated him and are willing to back him
heavily ii another match can be made with
the crack western Smoother.

Rockefeller and the Northern Pacific

New YORK, Nov. 20.-The statement
that the Rockefeller interests and their as
sociates, generally known as Standard Oil
party, had increased their holdings of
Northern Pacific, preferred by 100000
shares, caused much discussion in regard
to Wizards interest in the property. The
exact amount of this is difficult to esti
mate. None of the Rochefellers could be
seen to-day about the reported purchase.
President Cakes said: ~ confidently be-
lieve Rochefeliers and their associates
lately added largely to their holdings of
stocks and bonds of the Northern Pacific
company"
He stated positively there was no truth
in the report that Willard would retire or
be forced out of the company. Other par
ties identified with both interests say the
l21, 900 shares of preferred stock held by
the North American company were hypoth-
ecated To secure loans, sold by the creditors
and then bought in by Rockefeller Officers
of the North American admit that some
of its securities were sold, but decline to
state how many or what they consisted of.
There is possibility the Rockefellers NAV
become hostile to Willard on account of
recent developments IN the market. At
the regular monthly meeting of the
Northern Pacific nothing was developed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-An authoritative
announcement was made in Wall street to-

other roads.
Although the compact between the Union
Pacific and Northwestern on its face gives
the former monopoly of the latter's bust
ness, 1t can be construed so as to admit all
the roads engaged in transcontinental
transportation. Specifically, the contract
says that the cars of one road shall be
taken over the other road and vice versa
II does not say in SO many words that the
Union Pacific shall not take the freight of
other connecting roads on the same terms
as the Northwestern. Through the media
ton of j. Pierpont Morgan the Vanderbilt
interests have been brought into the, new
arrangements.

evening received a telegram from Rush

Brooke's command reached Pine Ridge at Z
o'clock this morning. The Indians are

There is much excitement and the ghost
dance continues.

The Ogallalas and Unckapas north of

them were in the Custer ARRAY, and some
of the older ones in the Minnesota massa-

Fort Belknap reservation are in a very
turbulent state. AS an instance of the sto
ries floating around the officer tells of one
current on the reservation to the
effect that several young warriors
started from there to visit Sitting Bull and
learn about the new Messiah. On the way
one of Them, Yellow Hawk, said he had
been commanded in dream to kill himself
as test of his faith with the promise be
should be raised from the dead. He COM
mitted suicide accordingly and the party
went on without him. When they reached
Standing Rock they found Yellow Hawk
there alive and well, having been resur-
rected and taken to Standing Rock ahead
