Sioux from the Pine Ridge agency in South
Dakota, called at the White House to-day
to see President Harrison and have an in
terview with him relative to the Indians
being taken from the different agencies for
exhibition and circus purposes.
These Indians desired to have a cheap
big TALK with the great father in order to
assure him that they were treated we'll on
the circus route and desired to continue in
the business. The Indian bureau has gem
orally discouraged the taking of the In
dians for this purpose, and has been backed
up by the interior department The presi-
dent refused to see the Indians and Private
Secretary Haliord told Mai. Burke that the
Indians would have to come next day and
take their chances with the other visitors
on public reception day; the president had
no time for a general pow WOW.
1t is not believed that the visit of the In

Some Very alarming Reports.
WAsH1NeroN, Special Telegram, Nov. Is
Tho interior and war departments are
seriously alarmed over the threatened mp.
rising of the Sioux Indians in the Dakotas.
In spite Of the .quicting assurances which
have been circulated the interior depart.
'snent has realized that the situation is too
serious for it to face without troops, and he,
asked the war Department. to assume juris
diction. This the war department has done,
and tonight took prompt action, which il
decidedly warlikc in its nature.
Gen. Miles, who has had long experience
in bloody battles with these same Indians,
was directed tonight to take active meas.
ures to preserve the peace. His orders were
explicit enough to direct that troops from
the various forts in all the Northwest bs
held in readiness to go at once; that suffi.
to put down with bullets and bayonets any
hostile demonstrations which the Sioux
may make, and that no time be lost Gen.
Miles was also authorized to act OH his own
discretion without consulting will, the de.
partment If the occasion required it.
According to the reports received here
Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota,
where Sitting Bull is, and from which fol
been coming. The uncasiness which exists
there, it is said, has spread to greater OF
less extent to other bands, and all the res.
eTvationss on which there are any
eye of Gen. Miles and his troops.
The reports of the last few days have thor.
oughly aroused the authorities to the stu.
alton. They profess to believe that the an.
pearance OF troops will in great measure
stop the rising desire OF Sitting Bull and hi.
crowd to taste blood again, and with thai
end eisli in view the troops will be gotten withir
not enough, the troops will stand no fool.
ins, and Will give theredskins all the blooc
that solid Minnie bullets can draw.
An alarming report was received to-day
from Agent Palmer, OF the Cheyen a.elr
cy iE South Dakota. He said that the In.
d1ans had apparently gone crazy over the
ghost dance" and that they refused tc
obey his, orders. He was unable to keer:
his Indian police, whose authority the In.
dians defied. Thelnost startling fact in hi,
report was that the Indians had obtained.
possession of considerable quantity O.
arms and ammunition. and it only needed
bold move on tho the part of one or two
to put the Indians into frame of mind tc
use them. The Indians had received CON.
all their spare cash had been invested ir
Winchester rifles and ammunition. These
had been scattered widely over the res.rva.
ton. and it looked as if they were only
waiting for a signal for an uprising. Agent.
Palmer recommended that troops be sent.
there at once, and that the Indians be dis
armed.
Another report unofficial, was received
from place near Pine Ridge agency. that
the Indians had secured from sales Of bee:
about $25, 600, and that good proportion.
OF this had been invested in rifles and avn.
Munition.

Wall Street Affairs Not Affecting the

NEW York, Nov. 15.-R. G. Dun g. Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
Those who have long expected severe reaction
IN the stock market have now seen the average
OF prices thrown back to q lower point than has
been touched at nnv other time for more than
four years. 1t remains the fact that the legiti.
mate business throughout the country is the
largest ever known. not much inflated or endan.
eered by speculation. and 80 far sound that
complaints in regard to collections have been
much fewer than usual The check now sus
tained may not improbably- produce some
profits, but the industrial and commercial con-
ditions have been so favorable that speculative
disturbances are the less likely to affect general
business seriously.
Reports from other cities show that ut most
points the events In Wall street have had little
or no effect rs yet. At Milwaukee money is close
at Z. collections satisfactory and Eastern
troubles do not check trade: at Omaha. st.
Paul, Denver and Kansas City money IL III
strong demand, collections healthy and business
good
While exports OF products were enormous ii,
October, they have fallen IL per cent below last
years for November thus far at New York. but
u larger excess oyer imports fails to affect the
money market. since the movement OF securities
this way is large. 1t is not to be forgotten that
the demand for money is largely due to the un-
precedented volume Of business thus far.
The business failures occurring throughout he
country during the past seven days number 266,
as compared with a total OF 215 last week. For
the corresponding week OF last year the figures
were 265.

Prospects of Fight in the World1
FAIR Directories.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-A Joint meeting of the
worlds fair congressional committee and
the executive committee of the national
worlds fair commission began here to-day.
The congressional committee began its
work of ofinyestigation by inquiring as to the
salaries paid to the various officers, and iol.
lowed these up, with inquiries in regard to
the duties of the director general. These
subjects occupied the entire session. After
brief remarks from Chairman Gambler and
some talk between the commissioners and
the members of the committee upon gen
eral matters, the committee took recess
until tomorrow.
With the approach OF the next meeting
of the worlds fair commission, rumors Of
trouble ahead are rife. In the first place,
Director General Davis feels ignored tiy the
local directory. 1t was his understanding
that he should have the appointment of his
subchiets; but the directory has appointed
t1o of them without consulting him. When
consulted about the matter Mr.. Davis said
he would not stand the action of the
directory. Secretary Willets is opposed to
the putting OF tho government exhibits on
the lake front, as proposed by the local di-
rectory.
In the meeting between the congressional
committee and the executive committee OF
the commissioners to-day, Commissioner
Martindale said that he believed he voiced
the sentiment of the commissioners when
he said that the restrictions thrown around
the use Of Jackson and Washington Parks
by the South Park commissioners must be
Withdrawn.
The national grounds and buildings COM
mittec met the members of the local build
ing committee this afternoon. Messrs.
Martindale, Smith, Kerens and Goodell as
serted that the commission would insist
that there be no more than two buildings
erected upon the lake 'front.' instead of six
President Palmer said on the subject:
shall resign if the r;an as outlined at n re-
cent meeting of the directory Is insisted upon
