Plant the plum trees near the poul-

Nine cases cut of ten where va

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
The CulmInatIOn OF the Crisis In Stock SpceuIa-



tlen.
Wall street has been in a turmoil during tho
past week, and several heavy failures have
been reported. One Of the largest banks In the
country was forced 20 close its doors, and unless
the depoSitors, who are interested To the amount
OF Sl.OO0,OOO, agree 20 leave their money in
tact in the bank for at least three months. the
bank will he finally closed, aud hundreds of
thousands Of dollars will be lost. 4 great many
private brokers and institutions have sue
cumbed 10 the stringency of the market, and
many more have been on the verge Of ruin.
On Saturday TumOTs were started that the
great banking firm of Barring Bros, of Lon
don, had been compelled 10 ask for assistance
TO tide them over for afeW days. This firm
has immense connections throughout the
United States, and no sooner was the infOrma-
tion given out on Wall street than stocks took
a tumble, and millions of dollars were sacri-
feed by people who held stock and did not care
TO be completely crushed by the big failure
which was confidently predicted.
But tho disaster was averted by the prompt
action Of the Bank OF England and other mon
led institutions and individuals Of England,
who at once raised a guarantee fund of $780,
100000 TO tide the Barring Bros. over their
difficulties. This was not known, however.
until millions OF stocks had been sacrificed in
the most reckless manner in Wall street.
The trouble with the Earrings was the decline
in South American stocks and the withdrawal
of g, OO0.O 600 from their bank in London by the
Russian Government. At the close Of business
on Monday the best Of feeling prevailed and it
is thought that the crisis was passed, and that
everything would be in good working order in
a short time.

entire State Is excited over the threatened out
break OF the Sioux Indians at the Standing
Rock Agency, under the lead of Sitting Bull.
The religious craze under which they have
been labOring for several weeks has finally
Worked them up TO the fighting pitch, and
they are no longer under the control of the
Agent or the troops at Fort Yates. There are
several companies stationed at tho Fort, but
they are not considered sufficient TO cope with
1890 wellarmcd savages should they start on
the warpath. The City of Mandan, which is
the nearest town to the Agency, is in a state Of
great excitement. Public meetings have been
held and steps taken for the city's protection.
Rcinforcements are expected from Forts
KeOgh and Totten, aud when they arrive they
will Immediately proceed to the scene of the
disturbance. 1t has been discovered that
civilized Indians have been purchasing arms
and ammunition, for which they have paid ex-
orbitant prices and there are no guns nor am
munitiOn left in Mandan, and the town is prac-
tically without protection. Gen. Miles is dis
posed 10 regard the rnmors of the outbreak rs
greatly exaggerated, as is the Secretary of War,
but they both acknowledge that should the In
dams start on the warpath they could do much
damage before they could be checked, as they
have plenty Of arms and ammunition, and are
well provided with meat aud other provisions.
Gen. Miles also says that the withdrawal Of
settlers from North Dakota is greatly over
drawn, aud that only few weak and fearful
residents have left the State 10 await the out
come Of the trouble Careful estimates have
been made OF the number of Indians who have
gone into the religious craze and corresponding
efforts 10 put stop TO any outbreak have been
made by the War Department.
