Armour Got the Rest of 1t.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Gradually light is
breaking through the clouds that have
hung over the great stock yards deal, on
the part Of the big four packers-Armour,
Swift, Morris and Libby, who rec emily pur-
chased eight sections of land on Calumet
river and Lake Michigan, in Indiana,
about thirty miles southeast of Chicago,
where it was announced that they were
about to erect an immense Strengthening
and packing establishment, DESERVING their
present quarters at the Lincoln stock
wards. Holders of stock yards securities
have had occasion to do some sharp think
ing since the packers announced their in.
tentiOn of leaving them high and dry with
out any business and with only the price
of the real estate, worth but a small part
of their total capitaliz ton to represent
their recent outlay. They have decided on
a coup which promises lively competition
for the migrating packers. 1t is stated
that they will raise something like $1O.-
100000 and erect a great establishment as
an auxiliary company, on the land already
owned by the stock yards company, and
become a gigantic and active
competitor of Armour, Swift, Morris
and Libby if the latter undertake
to carry out their Indiana scheme. The
big -Four" OF the other hand, an evening
paper announces, have made a combina-
ton with Drexel, Morgan g. Co., who own
the Chicago outer belt or Elgin, Joliet &
Eastern railway, which begins at Wauke-
gan and runs through Elgin and Joliet in
a semi-circle, about twenty-elght miles
from Chicago on a line, intending to reach
Michigan City, whereby they are 10 con-
troll that line. President Spencer has en-
tered into a personal contract with the
cate for access to Lake Michigan through
its land and the outer belt line will estab-
fish an immense depot, stock yards ard
transfer system here. Drexel, Morgan &
Co. have taken time by the forelock and al
ready three Joliet roads have made an
alliance with the outer belt line system.
These are the Chicago, Alton & st. Louis,
ing roads. Naturally the Baltimore &
Ohio, Lake Shore, the Michigan Central
and Fort Wayne would oppose the big
Four" belt system. but they could not
suffer the loss that would result from such
opposition while three cattle. carrying
roads patronized it, so it happens that Ar
mour has got the whip hand or the whole
day to and from Chicago and Waukegan,
Elgin, Aurora, Joliet, McCool and inter
venlnE points. Hence the new deal COM
mands the whole Chicago railway system
and promises, not only to see the great
system OF packing houses and stock yards,
but the elevators at tile place selected. 1t
Is expected that when this deal is fully re-
allied at the Union stock yards it will put
a damper on the scheme just launched to
erect new packing and slaughter house
establishments here.

May Down Willard A$ain,

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The statement
that the Rockefeller interests and their
associates, generally known as the Stand
ard Oil party, have increased their hold
ings of Northern Pacific preferred by 10O,-
600 shares, has caused much discussion in
regard to Wizards interests in the prop
erty. The capital stock Of the Northern
Pacific company amounts to $86, 143, 103, or
S6l ADJ shares OF common stock and 127, 43O
shares of preferred stock. These holdings,
with a large block Of stock held by C. B.
Wright of Philadelphia, controlled the
property, and as Willard generally voted
on the North American. as it was in other
years Oregon TranScOntinental proxies
and a large amount of proxies from Ger
ma nOlderS, lie was a most powerful fac
tor at the annual election. 1t has been
stated, however, that Willard was aided in
obtaining control Of the Oregon Transcon-
tlnel company by the Standard Oil party
and that Colgate represented the Rookie
Teller interests in both the Northern Pacific
and the North American companies. At
the elections of the Northern Pacific for
the two years preceding the one just held,
Willard was prominent in all of the
arrangements. He gave early informa-
ton in regard to the ticket to be voted by
those in control and showed his interest in
many other ways. He was absent in Eu-
rope on October 10th, when the last meet
ing was held and no interest was shown
in the affairs of the company by his repre-
sentative here. c. 3. Wright was then the
ruling spirit and was apparently in con-
troll. Willard was re elected director and
So were all members of the board who had
been working in harmony with him. Pres
ident Cakes stated positively that there
was no trnth in the report that Willard
would retire or be forced out of the COM
uanY.

He is the Man Who Caused the Da-
kOta Forts to be ES-
tablished,
And It is Through his Inhu snce They
Will be Strengthened and
Maintained.
There Seems to be a Concerted Plan
to Push Willard 10 the
Wall.
The Man We Are Indebted to.

FORT YATES, N. D., Nov. l8.-[Spt CALL
A person would infer from the tone of
your paper that the man who could get
Fort Abraham Lincoln retained and
strengthened should be the next United
States senator. Well, we have the man
here who not only car do this, but is actu-
ally doing it at the present time. From
one to two companies are on their way to
this post and are expected daily, and there
is n doubt but Lincoln will be both en-
larged and strengthened in the early
spring. n the man who is doing all this
does not ask the president, secretary OF
war, or, in fact, anyone, for help, for
when this man speaks, troops are always
ready at his call. AS he was the chief
means of bringing all the troops and build
ing all the forts in Dakota in the past, so
he also will be the mean of doing this in
the future. He is the man we all here
want to go as our next United States sena-
tor. No other man can be so well spared
from this community at this time and it
would certainly be a great credit to our
new state to be represented by such a man
as the Honorable Sitting Bull. He is the
man who is doing all this for US and we
earnestly hope, on the assembling of our
next legislature, that this great man will
not be overlooked in the senatorial con-
test. Major McLaughlin-and l am sure
no man in the northwest is more popular
than the major-is for Sitting Bull for all
he is worth, and l believe nothing would
please the major so much as to see Sitting
Bull elected, so we want all the majors
friends to rally to his support at the proper
time.
Everything here is quiet, but anyone
who KNOWS the Indians can see a great
change in them. This coming millennium
has taken a strong hold upon their minds
and it will be hard to overcome it. They
are just as bad as ever on Grand river, as
runners are continually coming from and
going there from all the other agencies and
the excitement is kept up. OF course the
matter is kept as quiet as possible by the
employees here, but there is no use denying
the fact that there is trouble ahead. We
daily expect the troops here from Fort
Iotten. Everything here is in readiness
for them.

The Next House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The unofficial
list of members of the house in the Fifty
second congress which has been compiled
in the Office OF the clerk Of the house, is as
nearly correct as any list will be until all
of the certificates are received. 1t is inter-
esting, because for the first time it gives
really a definite idea of the political com
plexi0n of the next house. 1t shows that
222 democrats have been elected on the
straight ticket, the number of republicans
being 90. 1t gives the Farmers Alliance
q representation of II, but IL of this mum.
Der came from the South and will act with
the democrats, thus swelling the latter's
vote to 294. The democratic majority over
the republicans is therefore i3OLor l42
counting the IL Alliance men as democrats.

An AristOcrat Suicides,

New YORK, Nov. PA frightful suicide
occurred at the Pierrepont house. the
SWEETEST hotel on the Heights, Brooklyn's
most aristocratic neighborhood, this after
noon. A handsome, richly dressed woman
leaped from a window on the sixth floor OF
the hotel and dashed to death on the pave
ment about 100 feet below. She was Mrs.
Charles A. Coombs of 8 South Elliott llace,
another one Of Brooklyn's swell neighbor-
hoods. She was the wife of a son of a
newly elected congressman for the Third
district. The deceased has been married
for the past seven years, but lately has
suffered from i'll health and at the time
was undoubtedly suffering from temporary
alteration of the mind.

could scarcely hit Warren, who proved to
be very scientific. Miller's exertions in
the first round winded him; in the second
he was groggy and in the third he was
knocked out. Warren landed two right
handlers on Miller's jaw in the third, the
second knocking him down. Miller got
Warren down. The latter got away, feint-
ed with his left, landed his right again on

No Indian Troubles in Chicago,

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-"Not a word from the
scene of turbulent Indians" said General
Miles this morning. General Brooke has
by his forced march with the troops under
his command, beyond all manner of doubt,
given the Indians to distinctly understand
he is there for the purpose of protecting
lives and property, and God help the first
Indian who makes a bad break" It is not
my intention to tolerate any nonsense.
Gall the dispatches we have received to-
day" said Colonel Corbin, this evening,
"are OF an encouraging nature. There has
been no outbreak at any Of the agencies,
and General Ruger reports the stu
atlOn as peaceful all around.
The removal of the C%heyennes from Pine
Ridge agency will probably have a good
effect. They are to be taken away at once.
They will be taken back to their old reser-
vations in the Big Horn valley. The com-
mission of which General Miles was chair
gated the a~dvisabillty Of taking them back
to their cid home. General Miles. before
ne left Pine Ridge agency, informed the
Cheyennes that the commission would rec
0mmend their removal. Since then their
removal has been ordered, and the carry
ing out OF the order now will remove the
disturbing element from Pine Ridge and
divert the attention of all the other Indi-
ans.
A SERIOUS SUBJECT.

General Miles was shown Associated Press
dispatches received from Washington

cy to the acting commissioner of Indian
affairs at Washington, as also dispatches
from Washington, sent by the general to-
day, detailing to the secretary of wal a sta
tus of the affairs in the northwest among
the Indians and at the agencies. When
asked if he did not regard the situation in
the northwest Indian country as critical.
General Miles replied: Il have regarded
it as critical all the while. It's not a new
matter. It's not a new subject, for this re-
ligious craze has been going on for Over
II year, and | have not considered it a
tritling matter, but upon the other hand,
quite a serious subject.

Brooke, who is commanding the forces at

ing the disloyal Sioux to abandon their
tribe and join the loyals is working very
satisfactorily and he soon hopes to have
the hostile crowd entirely broken up. The
report from Lieutenant Smith, who is in
charge of the forces of the
Rosebud agency, however, is not so en-
couraging: He telegraphs that when the
forces under his command moved lear the
Indian camp to-day they retreated back
about fifteen miles, where tonight they
are holding their ghost dances and are
working up such frenzy that some out
break may occur before tomorrow night.

Gathering In the Big Horn Mountains.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 21.-Frank Grurd
a government scout stationed at Fort
Mckinney, reported III Buffalo that
renegade Sioux and Cheyennes were
heading tor the Utah Big Horn mountains.
This movement involves a trip Of 200 miles
and on the journey the fleeing reds will
traverse several counties in Wyoming.
They are leaving the Dakota reservations
as the result OF the Messiah craze. Their
plan is doubtless to make a stand against
any pursuers in the broken country for
which they are bound. The information
was received here by State Senator Tisdale
OF Johnston county. He showed the tele-
gram to Gov. Warren, and the latter at
once wired Gen. Brooke to protest against
the removal of the Fort Mckinney cavalry
now on march to Douglass, there to take
the train for Pine Ridge country. The
marching reds have full st0machs, fat
ponies n plenty Of ammunition. In his
report, Grurd intimates there is imminent
peril. He is q half breed, and a scout long
in service. His information was secured
from the Utah Crows to whom runners
brought the news.
