Alarming Reports Furnished by Squaw
Men at Fort Sully.
It is evident from the developments of
the last few days that hostile Indians from
the Grand River, Cheyenne, Rosebud, and
Pine Ridge Agencies are massing at some
point for stand against the troops under
Gen. Brooke. From squaw men just in
from Ziebach County it is learned that
bands of red men in war paint have been
passing through that country for several
davf, moving. southwark They were
well aGmed with Winchester rifles,
had plenty of ammunition, and were
we'll equipped with ponies. They were
uniformly insolent and reticent. The place
of meeting agreed upon is reported to be a
heavily wooded point on the White River
ten above the mouth of the South Fork of
the White. This point is a days hard ride
from Pine Ridge Agency, S. d., and nearly
as far from Rosebud. The squaw men have
been threatened with death by the hOstiles
and are running away from the Indian
camps and giving up the secrets of the
Sioux. They have been excluded from all
ghost dances and are subjects of special
hatred.

CHICAGO Tribune: In the days when
Lord Byron was calling on Greece to
awake. and was doing several other fool
things over there, an American dreamer
from Vermont was doing the country.
He was near the battle Of Missolonghi in
1924. When the hight was over the
American wandered over the battlefield
in search of relics. He came upon live
infant playing among the slain. The
glory of Greece was in the face OF the
child. 1t was curious find in such
place. Whose was it-whence came it?
No one answered the queries of the
American. 1t needed attention, and the
Vermonter picked it up, cared for it,
brought it to America, reared and edu-
Gated the waif of the field Of Missolonghi.

Point of Death.

The Famous Woman Doctor Lying at the
Point of Death.
DR.. Mary E. Walker, known throughout
the country for her eccentricities and as
the only woman commissioned a surgeon of
the United States army during the re-
belliOn, lies dying at her farm five miles
west of Oswego, N. Y. Dr. Mary arrived
from Washington last August. She had
been sick in the Capital, ana her physicians
directed that she be sent to her home. She
is troubled with heart failure, and the end
is looked for any moment DR.. Walker is
a graduate of a Geneva, n. Y, medical
college, and was admitted to practice in
1858. In 1861 she went to Washington and
offered her services for the purpose Of TAX
ing care of the sick and wounded soldiers
in the hospitals. Her first duties were in
the Indian hospital under DR.. Green.
During the last year of the war
she was in the Southwest with Col
onel Dan McCOok, and while there she
was made a prisoner by Champ Ferguson,
the guerrilla, and sent to Castle Thunder

meet with more encouragement. She APP

HLRTING BUSINESS.
The Monetary Stringency Beginning
Have Its Effect.

The Monetary Stringency Beginning to
Have Its Effect-
r. G. DUN & Co. s weekly review Of
trade says:
The last broken week has not improved
the business outlook. The difficulty of OBJ
tanning commercial loans increases, not in
New York only, but at most other points.
Banks and other lenders from the largest
to the smallest appear to have been in
duced by recent events to strengthen them
selves. Merchants have grown more eau
tiOus about extending obligations, or maxi
ing purchases which can be deferred, appre-
hending that retail buying may be cut down
somewhat by reduced ability of some con-
sumers, and by the disposition of others
to economic in view of the extensively
reported advance in prices. Meanwhile
speculation has been reviving to an UNI
healthy extent in some directions on the
theory that troubles are over and things
will improve. The money markets are thus
loaded with increased demands for carrying
securities and products at a time when
trade especially needs more liberal supplies.
At most of the interior markets money
grows more stringent, and the scarcity be-
gins to affect trade at important centers,
though the volume of business is still large.
The speculative markets have been adj
vancing. Wheat has risen 6A cents, corn
219, and oats AZ cents, lard Is cents per 100
pounds, and coffee one-quarter of a cent,
pork being unchanged, and oil one cent
lower. Cotton has also yielded sixteenth
in view of crop prospects. The rise in
breadstuffs has no increased foreign demand
to justify it, but operators seem to have
concluded that monetary difficulties are all
over, and that they can carry all the
grain until Europe is forced to buy.

ness.

Congress Once More Gets Down to Bust
ness.
! THE last session of the Fifty-first Con-
gress began on the 1st inst. At noon when
Vice President MortOn's gavel fell he
beamed on the Senate. Chaplain Buffers
prayer was a trife longer than usual, but it
made up in fervor what it lacked in brew
ity. After prayer the only business in Or
der was the swearing in of new Senators.
The credentials of Senator's elect Carey and
Warren of Wyoming were presented, and
they took the oath. Senator Carey's bald
head was known to every one in the
Senate. OF Senator Warren it was re-
marked that he added another to the
long list of youngest-lOoking Senators who
wear glasses. The customary resolution
that the draw lots to determine their length
of service came from Senator Hoar, who is
Chairman of the Committee on Elections.
Secretary Arson McCook brought out the
queer-loOking box with its handle like a
cOrn-p pepper from which the slips were to
be taken, and in less than minute after
the adoption of the resolution it was known
that Senator Warren's term will expire
March 4, 1898, while Senator Carey will
serve until 1895. Members of the
House of Representatives were in no hurry
to resume their places before noon, SO
that in the crowd of people on the floor
before IL o'clock not a dozen were Con-
gressmen. Pages and doorkeepers kept
running in and out bearing flowers in
punches and tied with gay ribbons, bas-
kets gotten up by skilled hands, and elab-
crate floral pieces donated by enthus;-
astic friends The Democrats were
specially favored with mementos, though
the desks of about twenty Republicans
were also tastefully decorated. Some 200
members were present when the chaplain
invoked the divine blessing, and during the
tedious roll-call enough more came in to
swell the number to 227. The galleries were
.iammed except those reserved for the Pres
ident's family and the diplomats, where
few persons, lonely looking, were seated.

ating the noisy convention of members so

The latest on the Indian scare in Dakota
is the following dispatch from Dickinson,
N. d.:
The Indian troubles are causing much

families coming frem all directions, they
having heard that the Indians were camped

and delegation will be sent to confer with
the Governor. This place is contiguous to
an extensive stock country. The ranchmen
are several miles apart. Should Indians
begin depredations they could cause great
havoc. A mass meeting is called at the
