INDIANS AGITATED.
Sioux Indians in South Ia
kOta Crazed Over the TN
dian Millinnium.
Sitting Bull the High Priest
and Latest Apostle of the
Doctrine.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.-The commissioner
OF Indian affairs has received reports from
the Standing Rock agency in South Oak kota
indicating that the "Indian millennium"
craze is increasing among the Sioux Indians.
Great excitement over the matter prevails
among the Sitting Bull faction of the Sioux,
who are anXiously and confidently await
ing the coming OF the millennium next
spring. &
Agent Mclaughlin, in a long report to
the department on the subject, says the SUI
perstitlous notion come from the more
southern Sioux, and is doubtless the same
craze that has been agitating the ShoshOnes
in Wyoming and the Cheyennes and the
Arapahoes in the Indian Territory.
Sitting Bull appears to be high priest and
the latest apostle of this latest Indian alb
surdity. Sitting Bulls influence as dis
turbng element seems to have incr eased
during the last few years, and this is partly
accounted Tor, the agent thinks. by the
presence Of a woman from Brooklyn, Mrs.
c. Weldon, who went to the agency in June,
1889, announcing herself as a member of
Dr. BANDS society She has lavlshed
numerous and costly gifts upon Sitting Bull
and this has made him more insOlent than
ever.
The agent devotes large portion of the
report to Sitting Bull, giving him bad
reputation He says:
Sitting Bull Is man of low cunning, devoid of
a single manly principle i'll his nature, or an
honorable trait OF character; but, on the con-
trary, is capable OF melting Others (those who
believe in his powers) to do any amount of mis-,
chief. He is a polygamist, hCertin~ habitual
liar and ObstructiOniSG and great obstacle in
the way of civilization or these PEOPLE, and he is
totally devoid of a single nob.e trait OF charac-
ter.
The officials of the Indian bureau here
look upon the situation as serious, but
think they can bridge over the trouble.

DEPARTMENT OF COLUMBIA.
Annual Report of Brig. Gen. Gibbons,
the Commander.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Brig Gen. Glib
bons, commanding the Department of
Columbia, in his annual report to the war
department for the last fiscal year, states
that the Indians in his section have been
perfectly peaceful during the past year, and
will doubtless remain so indefinitely, unless
goaded to desperation by the constant en-
croachments OF the whites and by their con-
tinuOus acts of injustice.
Gen. Gibbons says the proposition to take
from department commanders the power to
order general courts martial would, in his
opinion be mistake, but at the same time
he thinks decided improvements might be
made in the present administration of mill
tary justice by establishing a schedule OF
punishments Tor offenses; requiring strict
compliance with the law in convening gen.
eral courts, and hy establishing military
court OF appeals simi lar to court OF appeal
in civil cases.
The "canteens" are advocated, and Gen.
Gibbons says the system is not only better
than that of the leadership, but the enlisted
men now begin to realize how much better
and more protltably they can supply them
selves than be supplied by Others.

DENIES THE APPLICATION.
New York Must BE COntented With the
Government Census

WAsHINGToN Oct. 2S.-Secretary of the
Interior Noble to-day rendered decision
denying the application OF Mayor Grant for
city of New Y Iork. In his decision the Sec
retary, alter reciting the facts in the case,
says:
1t thus appears that the mayor bases his ap-
pliCatiOn on the fact as he alleges, that the mu-
nicipal census shows many more inhabitants to
have been in New York in October than the
United States census shows to have been there
in June and because the municipal census was
supervised by a representative OF the United
States census bureau, this department is bound
by the result made known to it aud should
without further inquiry order the superintend-
ent to make q renumeratiOn; that the Supern-
tendent has denied the alleged supervision and
any official knowledge OF results that would
warrant remuneration, and has offered a
hearing to the mayor, which he has not ac
cepted but has brought his demand to the Sec
retary on the same grounds as originally made;
that the secretary finds the municipal census
was not taken under any supervision by the
census bureau or any one representing it, and that
no such information has been sent the bureau
or the department enables it to determine
that the United States census was faulty and
should be retaken that many facts exist tend
ing to account for the real difference that may
be ultimately found, and these are sufficiently
Weighty to demand careful consideration; that
the applicant assailng the United States census
has the affirmation to prove that it is wrong,
and the difference in numbers cannot be ac-
counted for upon any other hypothesis than q
faulty United States census; that this must be
shown by proof that the excess now claimed
were inha bitants OF the city i'll June and not
then enumerated; that the national census has
been so well ta ken that the body of the people
are content with it and that it should neither be
abandoned nor its harmony impaired but for
the most Megnty reasons. No such reasons are
here sh own to exist and the application is not
allowed

HOME RULE.
The Liberal Party Waiting for an Eek
preston of the Country's Opinion,

preston OF the COuntry's Opln1On'
EDINBURGH, Oct. pa meeting of Lib
erals was held here to-day, at which Mr..
Gladstone delivered an address. He said
that the Liberal party was prepared to wait
for an expression of the country's opinion
regardins home rule before announcing a
premature scheme. He urged the people
to closely watch the naval and military ex-
penditures of the government, which, he
declared, have gone beyond the bounds OF
prudence and propriety.
Re erring 10 the foreign policy Of the gov
ernment, Mr.. Gladstone blamed Lord
Salisbury for sending an accredited envoy
to the Vatican. Regarding Armenia nd
the misrule of the porte, he said that the
long series OF outrages committed by Turks
might eventually seal the doom OF the once
great Turkish empire.
Referring to home politics Mr.. Gladstone
said that there were seven test questions
apart from that of home rule for Ireland,
namely, the questions of temperance, a
working day of eight hours, the disestab-
lishment o. the church in Scotland, the dis
establishment of the. church in Wales
woman's suffrage, home rule for Scotland,
and allotments.
Mr.. Gladstone made no reference to the
United States tariff law.

DENVER, Oct. 2S.-Duputy United States
Marshal Long and Posttfice Inspector Law
renee yesterday arrested James Pierce and
William M. Stott on the charge of running
a fraudulent real estate business at Plain
field addition to Denver, thirty miles from
here on the Denver & Fort Worth road.
The Plainfeld Addition company began
business in September, 1885, Thousands o
circu ars were printed and dstrl bute(
throughout the country from Colorado t.
Maine. These announced that the company
was giving away lots for the price of record
ing them, say $3.50, and two-cent postage
stamp, which was necessary to return the
deed.
The only house within six miles of Plain
field addition to Denver is Pierce's own
house, which is located on the property.
The secret of the scheme lays in the
recording of the deeds, the regular
fee Tor recording a deeds in Douglass
county is $3.50, but by an agreement with
Henry Jones' the county recorder, he re-
ceived only 80 cents for this service and the
company potketed the balance, $1.60. By
this deal the company had cleared nearly
s., 600 or 50, 500 more than they paid tor the
whole property. The recorder has made
over $50, 900.
