Seventy-dve Cheyennes have been en-

BUFFALO BILL ON THE wARPATH
The Famous Scout Appointed Scout by

The Famous Scout Appointed Scout by
Gen. yMiIes---On for the Front.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. Buffalo Bills eyes
glowed with fiery light Wednesday as
he thought of the immediate prospect
of taking an active part in the CAM
paign against the Indians OF the North
west. His reputation as scout during
former Indian troubles has led to his Sc
lection in a soEewat similar capacity in
the present strained situation by Gen.
Miles. Just what his duties will be has
not been iivulged, bnt he stated that
several of his friends should pe allowed
to go with him to North Dakota. In
the secretary's instructions, no mention
was made concerning these friends, but
the desired permission was granted late
last night. Buffalo Bill packed up his
collection Of rifles and left the city with
Frank Powell, known MS White Beaver;
r. Fl. Haslan, known as Pony Bob, and
John Keith, of North Platte, Neb.
With these three companions Buffalo
Bill intends to strike terror into the
hearts Of his old Sioux enemies and the
war whoop of the famous scout will
drown the yells OF the Indian fanatics.

MISSEArgLIs, Nov. pa Standing
Rock Agency, N d., special TO The
Tribune says: The. two Indian scouts
sent out Saturday night by Col. Drum,
commencing Fort Yates, with instruc-
tions 10 scour the country between here
and Sitting Bulls camp and ascertain If
any Indians were ON the warpath and
the state of affairs at Sitting Bulls
camp, have returned, and report having
seen no Ind;nns on the warpath. They
went to Bulls camp on the Grand river.
They being known TO Bull as military
scouts, they were at once suspected as
spies and were treated very harshly by
Bull and others. Bull asked them their
business out there. They said they were
after two deserters from the post, which
Of course Bull knew to be untrue. Bull
told them he understood there were
1000 soldiers coming to Fort Yates 70
take him and his property, But, said
he, II have runners coming and going
every day and know everything that 70
going os there. and 10 soon as these sol.
diers come win take my family and
DOuISd duO tnOSC ta0t VIII tOAAoW A1kO
and leave, and they will not get me-"
Continuing, he asid TO the scouts: nYou
zee we have
Abandoned the white Mens' Houses
and are living in our native tepees, and
will not return to the houses nor to the
agency" The supposition is that If
Bull hears Of any serious trouble at the
lower agency, or If the military attempt
to take him, he will at once break camp
on the Grand river and join the hostiles
ut the lower agencies, thereby declaring
war against the government Bulls
son-in-law was in Monday and when
questioned as to whether or not Bull
was coming in said that he was never
coming until the military overpowered
him. Hopes are yet entertained that
all will pass off quietly and that cold
weather will put q stop to the nonsense.
A howiing Dakota blizzard would be q
Godsend to the Dakotas about now.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-Neariy every
train arriving from the West brings to
the capital one or more members CT the
Fifty-irst congress, the last session Of
which will convene on Monday next.
by the middle Of this week the Capital
City will have settled itself for the usual
gaieties and hustling which invariably
accompanies the short sessions, Work
sufficient to keep the respective houses
busily engaged seven hours each day un-
til spring time has been mapped out by
different statesmen, who have been in
teryiewed upon their arrival here. At
the present writing no definite idea can
be given rs to what will engage the
time of the session beyond the consider.
alton Of the several regular appropria-
tion bills. The indications warrant the
the assertion that the pension appro-
priation bill VIII be the most earnestly
debated measure, owing to the enor-
NOUS proportions 1t is reaching.
wniTry Hard for Free Coinage.
The silver men are determined If pos
sible 10 force through free coinage bill.
They are strongly impressed with their
ability to accomplish the work in the
senate where they will have the assist
ance of the new senators from Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming. There will
not he sufficient strength, however, to
carry such bill over presidential
veto, which Is almost certain to follow
its passage, although some Of the strong
est adherents to free coinage express the
belief that the president will not antlg-
onize such a measure after giving it ma
ture consideration The recent Demo-
cratic success, it is claimed, will figure
greatly to their advantage.
Apportionment and Election Bills.
Representative Lodge, of Massachu-
setts, is of the opinion that the house
will certainly pass an apportionment
bill and that the senate will complete
the work of the majority by passing the
election bill. Mr. Lodge also ventures
the opinion that aif the Democrats get
an extra session next spring it will be
the beginning of the end fer them" He
thinks Mr.. Mills viii win the speaker
ship contest. Many Republicans enter
tain this opinion. The announcement
that a strong lobby liz ON its way to
Washington with view to secure the
enactment of legislation which will lead
to the
q Disfranchisement OF the Rformons
has created quite commotion In p0lit-
ical circles. There are two bills now
pending In the respective houses which
propose to take rhe privileges Of the
franchise from any person aiding, abet-
ting or rcountensncing polygamy, or who
may be attached TO any Institution that
does. Friends of the Mormons hold that
TO pass either OF these measrres would
be very unjust, ms the Mormon church
has sincerely acknowledged allegiance
10 the laws of the United States. II
does not appear, however, that there
will be any time for the consideration of
such bills during this session.

CHICAGO, Nev. 20. ALI the dispatches
from the Northwest received at army
headquarters during the day were Of so
reassuring q nature that Gen, Miles left
for home hours earlier than he has done
for q week past Just before his de-
parture the following dispatch was re-
ceived from Gen, Ruger at st. Paul:
Following Of this date received from
commanding officer Fort Yates: Little
change in situation. Scouts report no
Indians have gone on war path. Re-
ports indicate Sitting Bull and followers
badly frightened. Dispatches received
from Gen. Brooke at Pine Ridge were to
the effect that all was quiet and every
thing was pleasant"

braggadocios, and that it was hard to
tell what day or two might bring
forth. In his opinion the trouble would
never be ended until the Sioux Indians
were put in a position wiere they could
do no more or mischief. 1t was time
that effective measures were taken to
put a stop to all nonsense among redskins,
and to prevent the possibility of their
making trouble every few years. Later
in the evening Adjutant General Will
Jams stated that a dispatch had been re-
ceived from Gen. Rnger to the effect
that his advices proved that an elaborate
report sent out regarding some 600 In
dams at Devils Lake and Turtle Noun
tain leaving the reservation and prepar-
ing for the warpath was false in every
particular. The Indians at these points
are loyalists.
