DON'T DRAW RATIONs.
Suspicious Actions of Cheyenne
Agency Redskins.


Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 24.-Parties re-
turning from Cheyenne agency to-day
state that hardly an Indian was to be
seen there, it being the monthly ration
day. This is a most suspicious cir
cumstance to authorities, as all Indians
show up always on ration day. A man
named Whitefeld, who runs a small
trading store on White river, near Rose
bud, arrived here to-day and reports
that band of Indians broke in and pill
laged his store during his temporary
absence. He has come to Pierre for
safety, as well as neighbor ranchman
named Scovile, who claims to have
conversed with Indian Messiah followers
recently, and they told him that the
white man had his Messiah, and the In
dian could have his; that the Indian
did not stop the white man from wor-
Shipping his Great Spirit. and that if
the white man tried to stop the Indian
he would fight and kill all the whites
that came near. He only wanted to be
left alone to dance, and no whites must
come about. And further, that if the
great father sent soldiers to stop them
they would be served like Clusters
soldiers were. A consensus of opinion
here is that affairs are at a critidal
stage among the Indians, ana the least
thing will precipitate an outbreak. but
If no interference is offered to the
fanatics they will soon subside and the
excitement will pass off.

ANENT THE ALLIANCE.
Gould's Harmony Scheme Grad
ually Unfolding.

NEW York. Nov. 24.-The proposed
alliance of the transcontinental rail-
roads is the one topic of interest in the
railroad world. The fact that scheme
so long dreamed of and talked of by
those interested in the Western rail-
roads seems near fruition on so large
scale has put an element Of buoyancy
in the stock market that is refreshing.
The entire outlook is one of hopeful
ness" said one of the prime movers in
the alliance to-day. "The plans set on
foot last spring have lately matured so
rapidly and on such a scale as to be
fairly amazing. The best that was
hoped for in the original idea was sys-
tenn of groups, as for instance the South
western, the Northwestern. and Union
Pacific and adjacent lines. But it has
been found that these roads so cross
each other in their ramifications that
only one grand alliance would secure
the desired results. This feeling in
cited the present movement, but that
its accomplishment would be neared so
rapidly was beyond the hopes of the
most sanguine. An era of railroad his

The War rDepartnent Alert.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The war de-
partment is giving every assistance in
its power to Gen, Miles. In addition to
the military force in his division ten
troops of cavalry, stationed IN Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas, large force
from Fort Riley, including two light
batteries of artillery, have been for
warded te Pine Ridge agency to rein
force his command. All of these move
ments have been sanctioned by the
president, who is deeply interested in
the Indian situation. Several dispatches
from Gen. Miles were received at the
war department this morning, and
taken by Secretary Proctor to the White
house for the presidents informa-
ton. The substance of them
is mainly confrmatory of news
already received from the West.
1t appears that affairs at the
Standing Rock agency show much i'm
prOvement. A considerable number of
Indians from the Rosebud agency are
reported to be moving toward Pine
Ridge. just what their purpose is is
not known to tbs army officers. They
may be going to participate in the ghost
dance, or they may be on hostile
movement, not knowing that strong
military force has been gathered at
Pine Ridge. Gen. Brooke, who is in
command there, reports that he is
secure in his position and that the
friendly Indians are coming to the
agency in increased numcers.

frame of mind over the peaceful state
of affairs. Reports were circulated to-
day that the agent was calling in all the
Indians under his control in order to
determine who was loyal 10 the govern
ment and who was not, concluding
that those of Sitting Bulls camp who
did not respond TO the call were hoStileS
and were 10 be treated as such and
turned over to the military, who would
20 out, arrest and bring them here, and
atterWard take them Oft the reservation
altogether. This was denied by Mai.
Mclaughlin, who does not deem it
necessary to even separate the Messiah
faction from the anti-MeSSiah faction
any more than they are at present.
About the only trouble that is probable
is that some of each faction may get
into sQuabble. 1t appears that the
anti Messiah faction is about as scared
of the Messiah faction as the whites
are. Every effort is being made by the
agent and the better element to pre-
serve perfect order. Reports received
today are to the effect that the stam-
pede from the other side of the river. i'll
which 500 families left their homes and
ran for their lives to Eureka and other
towns forty or fifty miles away, was
caused by woman who, while out
riding, saw small number of bucks on
the sanabar this side of the river yell
ing and motioning with their arms.
She galloped home at full speed, gave
the alarm and started for Eureka her
self. The families are again returning
to their homes.
o. Stewart. agency saddler, while out
riding yesterday with his family visited
the camp four miles from the agency and
stopped to see the Indians perform their
religious ceremony. He began TO re-
buke Sitting Bull and Others, saying
there was nothing in the Indian religion
and they ought not to follow it. The
Indians were nearly all naked, some
painted hideously. They gathered
around, some very mad, and scared
Stewart nearly to death with threaten
ing. One of the Indians, pointing to-

CHIPPEWAS ARE IN IT.
The Terpsichorean Craze Reaches
Small Camp of Indians Near
BPainerd,

Special TO the Globe
BRAINERD, Nov. 24.-Rumors have
reached here, brought by half-breed
named John Bisho, that the Messiah
dance craze has broken out in or been
taken up by band of the Chippewa
Indians encamped few miles north of
this city on one of the small reserva-
tions. They are the Gull Lakers, a
small and unimportant band, but seem
to have embraced the full measure of
the faith. Bisho says they. call their
dance the woman dance, and the squaws
take the leading part, but male and fe-
male dancing together, to the music of
the men beating the tom-tom. The
dance begins at dark and lasts till day
every night, and is to last all winter to
the time of deliverance set for next
spring. Bisho says the dance was
brought to these Indians by two Sioux
Indians, who came to White Earth and
thence to Red and Leech lakes. He
says also thet these or other messengers
have taken the craze to all the principal
Chippewa bands in this state.
