Armour Got the Best of it.

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 slaughtering
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 capitalization 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.-
600, 1000 and erect a great establishment as
an auxiliary company, on the land already
owned by the stock yards company, and
become gigantic and active
competitor of Armoar, Swift, Morris
and Libby if the latter undertake
to carry out their Indiana scheme. The
"Big Four on the other hand, an evening
paper announces, have made a combina-
ton with DreXel, Morgan s. 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 to CON
tered into q personal contract with the
Armour, Swift, Morris and Libby syndi-
cate for access to Lake Michigan through
its land and the outer belt line will estab-
lish an immense depot, stock yards and
transfer system here. Drexel, Morgan &
ready three Joliet roads have made an
alliance with the outer belt line system.
These are the Chicago, Alton est. Louis,
Rock Island and Santa Fe, all cattle-carry-
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
opposition while three cattle-carrying
roads patronized it, so it happens that Ar
10 has got the whip hand on the whole
deal. He is in a position to make rates to-
day to and from Chicago and Waukegan,
Elgin, Aurora, Joliet, McCool and inter
veninE 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 the 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 Again.

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 1OO,-
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, LAS, 1O3, or
861 ,4S1 shares OF common stock and 127, 4SO
shares Of preferred stock. These holdings,
with a large block of stock held by c. B.
Wright of Philadelphia, controlled the
property, and rs Willard generally voted
on the North American. as it wa in other
years Oregon TranscOntinental proxies
and a large amount Of proxies from Ger
man holders, he 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-
tinet company by the Standard Oil party
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 10
many other ways. He was absent in Eu-
rope on Octobsr 10Th, when the last meet
ing was held and no interest was shown
in the affairs of the company by his repre-
sentative here. G. B. 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 truth in the report that Willard
would retire or be forced out of the COM
PAW.

A Demand Of the Miners.

M1NNEAPoL1s, Nov. 22.-Butte, Mont.
special to the Tribune: The Miners Union
Of this city to-day demanded a reduction
to eight hours for aday's work and that
the wages remain the same. This is the
strongest Individual labor organization in
the country, having a full membership of
5000 and 9 working force of over 5000.
Backed by such an army as this, their de.
mand will be at least respectfully consid-
cred. This union has never failed to make
q point attempted and should the mine
suit could. not be other than disastrous TO
Butte's interests. So far no attempt has
been made to force the trouble and all par,
ties desire to meet and settle amicably.
Nothing will be done before Monday.

An Aristocrat Suicides.

New YORK, Nov. ga frightful suicide
occurred at the P%ierfepont house. the
SWEETEST hotel on the Heights, Brooklyn's
most a%ristocratic neighborhood, this after
noon. A handsome, richly dressed woman
leaped from a window ON the sixth floor OF
the hotel and dashed 10 death on the pave
ment about 100 feet below. She was Mrs.
Charles A. Coombs of = South Elliott place,
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 ill health and at the time
was undoubtedly suffering from temporary
alteration of the mind.

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

esting, because for the first time it gives
really a definite idea of the political COM

222 democrats have been elected on the

A st. Paul Pioneer Press special from

port that a great number of families are
leaving there as fast as they a get away.

sition to speak with authority say there Is
no danger whatever.

letic association tonight for a 81, 1000 purse.
Miller is the Indianapolis pugilist who
thought he would be a match for the clev-
er Californian. He was not in it. He
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
up and clinched to save himself, pulling
Warren down. The latter got away, feint-
ed with his left, landed his right again OH
his jaw and Miller was whipped.

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

The removal of the Cheyennes 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 ON

tus Of the affairs in the northwest among
the Indians and at the agencies. When

the northwest Indian country as critical,
General Miles replied: II have regarded
it as critical all the while. It's not a new
matter. It's not a new subject, for this re-
Iigious craze has been going on for over
m year, and l have not considered it a
tritiing matter, but upon the other hand,
quite a serious subject.

Gathering In the Big Horn Mountains.
CHEYENNE, Wyo, Nov. 21.-Frank Grurd
a government scout stationed at Fort
Mckinney, reported in 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
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 stQmachs, fat
ponies and 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.

Afraid of the soldiers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-At army h%eadquar-
tiers here tonight. General Williams said:
81 have received a telegram from General
Brooke, who is commanding the forces at
Pine Ridge. saying his scheme for induc-
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 lea 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.
[ was also advised to-day that Sitting Bull
has been sending out requests to all Sioux
Indians, vel on Canadian Indian terrific
ry and as far west as Wyoming, to join
his forces. He is assisted in his work by
a large number of his tribe. who have been
educated in the east. If the Indians care,
to do so, they can do a great deal of dam
age before they can be checked. OF course.
their career would be short, but amends
would never be made for property or lives
of settlers they might destroy"
