DANGEROUS SHOW INDIANS.
Buffalo Bill Afraid of His Own
Performers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Buffalo Bill, be-
fore leaving for Nebraska last night, de-
clared that he is in favor of taking
care of Sitting Bull as one of the first
moves toward a settlement of the In
dian troubles.
''Of all the bad Indians" said he,
Sitting Bull is the worst. Rocky Bear
and Red Shirt are fighting chiefs. and
will do whatever is necessary to defeat
Sitting Bull. They are with me. He
can always be found with the disturb
ing element, and if there is no disturb
ance he will foment one. He is dam
gerous Indian, and his conduct now
portends trouble. Old Red Cloud, who
is disposed to be friendly to the
whites, was the leader of the
Fort Phil Kearney massacre. He has a
son who is out with the ghost dancers,
and looking for chance to win his
spurs. The best fighting blood of the
Sioux tribe. as we'll as the Chayennes, is
represented in the dancers. What APP
pears most OminouS to me is the wide
spread influence of this Messiah move
ment. The Indians do not telegraph
nor write letters. They cannot COM
municate except by couriers, yet we
find all those Western tribes from the
coast to the Mississippi and from Brit
ish Columbia to Arizona dancing the
ghost dance and looking for the coming
of their great leader. Some of the
chiefs will assist the whites"

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-It was stated
to-day, and not denied at the company's
Office, that the Oregon improvement
company would tomorrow apply to
have Joseph Simon appointed receiver.
The appointment will be made at Port
Iand. Or. 1t is also stated positively,
and not denied by the treasurer, that
the interest due Dec. will not be paid.
The company's trouble is said to be due
to the fact that loans which it procured
to carry on work on its extensions
have been called, and the COM
pany is unable to pay them.
The president of the company of
the company. Elijah Smith, is said to
be seriously ill, and confined to his
house. Fred l.. Ames, who IS under
stood to hold large block of Union Pa
cifc, is one of the directors of the COM
pany. The properties controlled by the
company comprise the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, operating five
steamship lines on the Northern Pa
cific coast, several railroads and large
amount of coal lands and real es-
tate. At the close of the last
fiscal year the company's liabilities
amounted to S1S.O07, ,OS7, Offset on the
balance sheet by an equal amount of
assets. Since then the company has
authorized and executed consolidated
mortgage of $1,000, 900. of which S6,514,
600 were reserved to retire prior issues
and the preferred stock. In 1889 it paid
Z per cent on the preferred stock
and AZ on the common. The
common was then selling at above
70. The last dividend was passed
and to-day the stock sold at 13119. Ed
ward Brandon, whose failure was an
nounced to-day. was large holder of it.
The first S1,0OO,00O of the consolidated
bonds referred to were issued April 8,
1890. The authorized issue is sl5,n00,-
600. 1t is stated that the company is
solvent, but owing to the condition of
the money market the officers deem it
best for all interests to have receiver
appOinted.

PRETTYMAN'S FAILURE.
Cashier johnson Discharged From
Duty as Assignee.

Cashier johnson Discharged From
Duty as Assignee.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Judge Pender-
CAST this afternoon discharged Cashier
Charles Johnson as assignee, the as
signee of Prettyman's bank and the
North Division Lumber company. The
judge appointed in JohnsOn's stead the
Jennings Trust company, and en-
tered an order directing the new
assignee to take charge at once.
This move was the result of a
vigorous protest against Johnson by the
creditors, who made allegations that
two men, supposed to be Prettyman and
johnson, bad secretly visited the bank
the night after the failure at late
hour; also that johnson, who has been
closely associated with Prettyman's af-
fairs, was not a disinterested person.
The testimony was also adduced to sup
port the theory that certain creditor
had been favored with funds at the
bank after assignment. Judge Pen
dergast made no direct reference to
these charges, but said that he believed
1T best to relieve apprehensiOnS and
suspicion. He did not wish TO
see runs on Chicago banks
by reason of an impression that depOS-
ltors could be left out in the cold. Mr..
Prettyman, whose tolal liabilities in the
bank, his lumber company and other
ventures have been estimated all the
way from 100000 to $1,000, 900, was
present during the discussion with an
unperturbed countenance. and at the
end said he would prefer to say nothing
III court until he had seen his attorney.
The court thereupon adjourned the ex-
animation until tomorrow. Tonight
there was meeting of the creditors,
many of whom are small tradesmen,
who gave free vent to their wrath and
indignation at the failure.

LOOKS MORE PACIFIC.
Good and Bad Indians Draw Sup
plies in Unison.


PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Nov. 24.-There
is no sign of breach of the peace here.
All day long the employees of the agency
have been handing out supplies to good
and bad Indians alike. 1t was deemed
not eXpedient to withhold supplies
from the dancers. No Water. Big
Road and other leaders of the ghost
dancing have sent word that they
will cease their antics. Little
Wound is the only one now out. He
has deigned no reply since the one sent
early Sunday morning that he would
not come to the agency. Special Agent
Cooper is inclined to be suspicious of
the aSSeveratIOnS of obedience made by
the Indians, and vigilance will
Agent Royer has opened a reg
ister, and now keeps close
record Of all persons who come to the
agency, from whatever motive. He Is
of the opinion that much trouble has
been caused by the freedom with which
whites and half-breeds have been al
lowed to mingle with the Indians. Col.
Hughes, chief quartermaster of the de-
partment of the Platte, and Col. Lud-
ingtOn, of the Quartermaster generals
Office, returned tonight from Pine
Ridge. They report every thing quiet
at the agency. Gen. Brooke is COM
fortably installed and has plenty of ra-
tions and forage for the troops. School
is progressing in the agency school
building, and very little of the late
scare remains. Settlers along the reser-
vatiOn lines, however, continue to stam
pede, and some pathetic appeals for
protection are sent in. 1t is thought by
the authorities that unless there is
fight all will be quiet within the week.

East-Bound Rates Advanced.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-In accordance
with an order made by the managers
of seaboard trunk lines at New York
short time ago. an advance in freight
rates on all classes averaging about %
per cent, from Chicago TO the Atlantic
coast, went into effect to-day. 1t is
doubtful if the new rate OIL oats will
stand. 1t was reported to-day that the
Peoria roads had positively refused TO
make 25-cent rate on that commodity.
contending that it should be no higher
than the rate on corn. 1t was the Peoria
board of trade that first protested
against the separation of corn and oats
i'll the adjustment of grain rates, and
the lines leading eastward from that
city are disposed to admit the justice of
the protest. A similar stand was taken
by the Chicago board of trade, and the
probability is that the roads will be
forced to put oats in the same class
with corn, with a rate of 2215 cents
per hundred pounds from Chicago to
the seaboard.

Observation-Disclosures? HAS
Judge .BIodgett Wresties With the
Interstate Commerce Law.

OuuSe. .biOOS6CG w fSStIcS Win the
Interstate Commerce Law.
CHICAGO, Nov. PA legal question
of great Importance was argued to-day
before Judge Blodgett in the United
States district court. Upon its decision
depends the question whether or not
the interstate commerce commission
can enforce the interstate law to the
extent of Furnishing the railroads or
shippers who violate its provisions.
For long time there have been COM
plants that the rates for shipping grain
over the roads which enter Chicago
from the West have been cut frequently,
and that the different lines have madea
practice of giving rebate to favored
shippers in order to get their business,
in direct violation of the interstate law.
Recently the commission determined
upon an investigation with view
to prosecuting the railroads. Last week
the matter was taken up by the federal
grand jury, and Charles Counselman,
the well known board of trade man,
was called as a witness. He was asked
he had, within the last year, obtained
cut rates flom the Chicago, Burlington
d Quincy, Chicago, Rock Island q Pa
cific, or the Santa Fe, for the shipment
of grain. He refused to answer on the
ground that he might criminate him.
self. Accordingly MIR. Counselman was
cited to appear before Judge Blodgett
this morning to show cause why he
should not be punished for his refusal
to answer. The case was argued to-
day. On behalf of COunselman, it was
argued that the constitution of the
United States guaranteed him immunity
from answering any question which
might crimlnate him, and that no statute
could contravene this. Moreover the
interstate law provided for the investi-
CATION of such cases as the one in hand
by the Interstate commits sion, not by
the grand jury; further, that the grand
jury must have a definite accusation to
work on, just as a coroner must have
body before he can hold an inquest,
and that it is not empowered to go on
''fiShing expeditions" as it is doing in
this case. If no theft has heen COM
planned of and none committed, the
grand jury cannot enter upon a
general investigation of the sub
ject of larceny. On the other
side, it was argued that the point of
constltutionality was not we'll taken. for
the reason that the statutes plainly pro-
yided that any evidence witness might
give before the grand jury could not be
used in a criminal proceeding against
himself. Therefore, while the evidence
Mr.. Counselman thought to conceal
might be used against other parties in
criminal proceeding, he could not avoid
giving the evidence on the ground that
it might criminate himself. The court
then took recess. Judge Blodgett an
nounced that he would decide the mat
ter tomorrow.

Montana and Wyoming will be drawn
upon, and other detachments of the
army are under orders to hold them
selves in readiness. Apparently Gen.
Miles believes that if the Indians do go
on the warpath the campaign against

moving field artillery, large quantities
OF ammunition and supplies, as well as
cavalry and infantry. Not withstand

will not take the offensive, but is
under orders not to attack the braves
until they do something more warlike
than dancing. Instructions are to

ing the Indians TO return to the

Gen. Miles to find out if the cause of
the present dissatisfaction among the
Indians is due more to lack of rationS
than to their belief in the coming of the
new Messiah. There are plenty of re-
ports on that subject already IN the
hands of the war department.. and all of
them declare that the Indians have been
unpaid and also that their petitions
fro rations have been disregarded by the
Indian bureau. In accordance with the
instructions. Col. Heyl, inspector gen.

taches little Importance to the report of
plot to assassinate Gen. Brooke.
The orders given the officers" he
said, regarding the suppression OF the
ghost dance are largely discretionary.
The mission is to restore confidence
among the Indians and allay the excite
ment. They are expected TO use their
own Judgment as to the best means for
accomplishing that end. If it is con-
sidered the better policy to suppress
these dances at once the officers have
the means for so doing. However, they
may deem it better policy to employ
less harsh measures at the start"

THEY STEAL CATTLE.
Some of Sitting Bulls Followers
Grow ThieViSh,

VALENTINE. Neb.. Nov. 24.-The ra-
ton day passed off quietly at Rosebud
to-day. Very few, not over twenty, of
Short Bulls followers were in, which is
accounted for by the fact that they have
helped themselves to the govern
ment beef herd. There will pioba-
bly, be TO conflict with the Indians
unless the troops attempt to make
arrest of the fanatics who are RESPONSE
BILE for theft of the beef from the agency
herds. So far the only offense is the
taking of the cattle, and the policy that
is to be pursued III regard to this offense
has not yet developed. The number of
troops is entirely inadequate for any
thing except the defense of the agency
against attack. The force is entirely
too small to act aggreSsively. -Four
companies of the Twenty-first in
fantry are due here tonight on
their way to reinforce Rosebud.
This will make seven companies of in-
fantry and two troops of the Ninth cav
airy at that place, when they get there.
Their force is too small for aggressive
purposes. Without at least two regi-
iments of cavalry it would be useless to
try to force the Indians into subordina-
:tiOD. The most economical plan would
be the starving process by placing the
cattle herd beyond their reach and thus
compelling the Indians to come into the
agency for something to eat, when it
would be possible to arrest the leaders
in detail,
