BUFFALO BILLS MISSION.
To Arrest Sitting Bull or Perish in the
Attempt.

BISMARCK, N. d., November 29.-Buffalo
Bill, who passed through here Thursday,
has been entrusted with a mission of high
importance in. reference to the Messiah
craze in this region.
All the members in the party with him
were reticent, but ii has been learned that
Buffalo Bill bears autograph lettars from
Gen. Miles, authorizing him to arrest Sit
ting Bull and deliver him prisoner at the
nearest military post.
Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull are old ac-
quaintances, and no introduction will be
necessary. From the formers well known
contempt of the Indian pretender, who has
been the main cause of the disturbances of
the last fourteen years, it may be surmised
that he will make short work of the
arrest, and that should any resistance be
offered he will make short work of Sitting
Bull.
Gen. Niles idea Of the most effective
mode of treating the Messiah craze is the
prompt arrest OF the leaders engaged in in
citing this dangerous lunacy.

The French Tariff.

PARIS, November ON. Jules Roche,
Minister of Commerce, attended the meet
ing of the tariff subcommittee on animal
products, at which the duty on salt meats
was considered. The draft Of the tariff
proposes duty of II francs per double hun
dred weight for all kinds of these products.
The committee proposed an entirely new
classification, duty of 30 francs being i'm
posed on sausages and other pre-
served meats, duty of ID
francs on hams, bacon and
lard. M. Roche, stated that the govern
ment persisted in demanding that a duty
of only 12f be placed on all classes OF
these products, as low tariff was indis-
pensable in order to procure from the
United States a modification of the Nc
Kinley tariff law. He informed the COM
mttee that American pork now got into
France through Belgium paying only 4f.
(50c.). Mr. Roche further objected 10 the
committees proposal TO increase the tariff
on canned meats, mutton and pork. The
report disregards these protests and will
be opposed by the government.

NILLARD'S RETURN.
lie Declines to Talk About His Financial
Entanglement.

New YORK, November 29--Henry VII
lard arrived at Hoboken at 80 CLOCK this
morning, on the North German Lloyd
steamer Aller, from Bremen.
He was among the first OF the passengers
to descend the gangway, ard as he appear
ed in a fur-lined overcoat and slouch hat,
he seemed to be III excellent humor.
There was assembled on the pier waiting
to greet him couple of dozen friends.
Most of them were prominent Wall street
men, and among them were several of the
North American Companys directors.
None of them would express any opinion as
to what Mr.. Wizards future plans might
be. but all of them said they had no fear
but that he would right matters in short
time.
Mr.. Willard, on reaching the pier, was
questioned about the prospects of North
ern Pacific and the North American Com
pany Il don't KNOW he replied. i've
had an excellent time in Europe, enjoyed
myself immensely and had fine voyage.
That is all have to say at present"
Nothing whatever could be elected from
Mr. Willard regarding the financial en-
tanglements in which his railroad and
other enterprises are involved He would
not even say where he intended to stop,
saving that he did not know whether he
would go to a hotel or TO his country home.

PHILADELPHIA's FAILURES.
Interest Divided Between the Jamison
Suspension and Bakers Forgeries

Suspension and Bakers FOrgeries.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, November 2g.-The
failure of b. X. Jamison d Co. divided the
attention of the street this morning with
the startling publication of John a.
Bakers gigantic forgeries. The general
opinion seems TO be that the failure OF
Jamison & Co., will be worse than at first
reported. The firm Is said to have been
large borrowers lately and several
financial institutions in this city are
thought to have been heavily hit by their
suspension. The failure has had no ap-
preciable effect on the local stock market
Assignee Thomas said this afternoon:
at is utterly impossible for me at this
time to give even an approximate estimate
of the firms liabilities and assets. We
have only started on the first details of the
work and it will be several days before any
statement can be made.n
The liabilities of the firm is variously es-
timated on the street at from $500,0O0 TO ST.
500. 900. but such estimates are the merest
guess work, as those who are in position
TO authoritatively state what the Liabilities
are decline to do so at this time. Beyond
the statement given to the papers last night
no information in regard to Bakers enor-
nous speculations will be made public by
the counsel of the absconder's family. II IS
the general impression that Baker has made
good his escape from the country, and Will
not be apprehended.
Assignee Mellon, of Baker Bros. & Co,
is still at work endeavoring 10 ascertain
the liabilities of the firm, but he is still un-
able to make any statement OF their losses

CHICAGO, November 29,-There is now in
progress of formation what is TO be known
as the United Building Trades Council, to
comprise all artisans employed in any ca

Should the association be perfected, the
carpenters will, in the spring, renew their
demands on the bosses, and should they be
refused the building business, including
the Worlds Fair, operations will not be
partially suspended only, but will come to
complete standstill. 1t looks like a

arc electric light plant. The first lights

enough to secure even one for street light

is furnished by an Otto gas engine, which
consumes the gas manufactured by the

proven very economical, requiring but one
man to look after the engine and dynamos,
while with a steam engine, a fireman and
engineer are needed, and possibly other
help.

disclosure of quite an amount of official

presented indictments against Gilligan,
Captain of the Guard, for assault and bat
terry and robbing prisoners. In this report
the Jurors denounce the system by which a
favored prisoner is put in command of the
guard, and in the absence Of the Sheriff or
his regular deputies this Captain be-
comes at once ruler and despot, beating
and robbing the prisoners in manner dis
graceful to the reputation of both parish

The oil well which is being drilled on the
Bremen land, twenty-five miles southeast
of Ravenswood, on the Baer fork of Tug
fork of Mill Greek, in this county, has
proven to be n gusher, and good one.
Work was suspended yesterday and all
was kept a secret as best they could, but
the oil is flowing from the well in stream
down into the creek so that the company's
object to keep it a secret and prove a
mystery is fruitless. The well is being
bored by the Standard Oil Company on a
thirty-fve Thousand acre tract of land
owned by the Bremen folks, but leased by
the above Company. This proves beyond
a doubt that this section of the county
only needs testing, as this well had no in
dications whatever from the surface.
