PESKY POTTAWATOMlES.


Fussing on the Reservation-Three of the
Leaders Killed.
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 13.-Information
has reached this city that the council
of the Prairie band of Pottawatomies
held few days ago on the reservation
in jackson County terminated in the
killing of three of the leaders and the
wounding of several others.
There are two bands, one known as
the Big Soldier band and the other
the Little Soldier band. They met
in council 10 consider the Presidents
order requiring them to sectionize.
The Little Soldiers band are all Ind;-
ans and are in tho majority, and favor
of taking their lands as the order indi-
Gates The Big Soldier band is COM
posed of full bloods, half breeds and
white men who have intermarried and
been adopted into full membership with
the nation.
This is the turbulent party and op-
poses the order to sectionize with vio-
lent threats against their great father
and his supporters. This feeling is en-
couraged by the white Indians" who,
it is said, misrepresent the situation
and the Presidents order and were the
cause of the riot.
The minority party have among them
shrewd advisers who incite others less
informed to carry out their schemes.
There is delegation of the better ele-
ment of both bands in the Territory for
the purpose of looking at the country
with a view to making it their future
home. Had they been present at the
council. the riot probably would not
have happened.

NEEDLESS ALARM.
Secretary Rusk Talks InteIligently on the
Crop Report and Its Effect on the Grain

Secretary Rusk Talks InteIligently on the
Crop Report and Its Effect on the Grain
Market.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. Secretary
Rusk in an interview upon the excite
ment in the grain markets caused by a
fear OF short crops said: ''Of course, the
fact that there was a slight falling off
in the quantity of crops had an effect
upon the markets but the tendency has
been upward, as far as prices arc con-
cerned, on all the cereals | attribute
the increase to other causes than the
shortage in the crops The statement
that this has been the lightest yield for
twenty years | can not agree with.
Grain operators watch our bulletins
very closely and they no doubt make
their calculations on the basis shown in
them So far as the information that
we receive is concerned, it comes from
a thousand different sources. Their OBJ
iect is to prevent great fluctuations"
"You do not apprehend any serious
squeeze?"
"Why not bit. The Government
reports have considerable influence in
checking any complicated corner, and
every body is enabled to know the pre-
cise condition of the crop. AS they
prevent fuctuation rather than increase
it, the more frequent they are made
the more gradual and pacific the condi-
ton becomes"
us it fact that the report is the
most unfavorable one ever issued?'
mot at all. The cotton crop is ex-
traordinarily good. Oats are probably
lower than they have been for twenty
years, but that is the only weak point,
with the exception of the barley crop
which was very prolific last year, how
ever"
"How is the quality?"
'Uniformly fair, except as I have
stated, with oats, which are not only
short but poor in quality. The barley
crop is merely good. | think that this
country should raise less wheat and i'm
port less barley We export wheat and
import barley, and there is no reason
why we should not raise it all The
expectation of corn this year will be
about the same. This is not very large,
however, as foreign nations eat but very
little corn. l think that on the whole
there is no cause for any trepidation on
the part of those controlling the mar

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
The Little Republic of switzerland Has a
Revolution ON Her Hands.

Revolution On Her Hands.
LONDON, Sept Is. The news of rev.
olution in Switzerland is the most in
teresting topic of the hour. Details OF
the uprising are difficult to procure, the
Federal authorities having maintained
a telegraph censorship which would do
credit to the more despot.c neighbors of
the little democracy.
From the pains taken to check COM
munication between the disaffected
Canton and the outside world, and from
the absence of any encouraging official
announcement by the Federal Council,
it is feared that the revolt may be more
widespread in its effects than the brief
dispatches permitted to pass the censor
ship would indicate.
Ticino, the Canton now in rebellion,
has, however, more turbulent record
than her sister CantOns, and the news
of the present trouble is therefore less
alarming than if the offending Canton
was one of those which had always
maintained q peaceable and loyal de-
mcanOr.
EAccording to advices the revolution
lists formed provisional government
and convoked a popular assembly, which
declared the existing Government and
the Grand Council dissolved and ordered
general elections for next Sunday. The
insurgents hold Lugano, Membrane,
Chiasso and Locarno. The Bundesrath
was called in extra session and ordered
Federal troops to be sent to the scene of
the disorders. The populace support the
insurgents and the civic guard occupied
the telegraph office thus preventing
the supporters of the Cantonal Govern
ment from communicating by telegraph
with each other or with the National
