HON. W. L. WILSON.
HE IS INTERVIEWED IN PlTrSBURG ABOUT
THE WORLDS FAIR.
Be Says There Was Some Extravaganza in Salaries,
but That the Congressional Committee Left
Things in Good Shape-lf Chicago is Let
Alone the Fair Will bs Success.

PITTsBURG, November Colon. w.
L. Wilson, Congressman from the Sec
ond district of West Virginia, is in the
city. Mr.. Wilson is the guest Of Prof.
w. c. Lyme, and his visit is purely a
social one.
Mr.. Wilson is mentioned as candi-
date for the Speakership Of the Fifty
Second Congress, and his selection is
more than possible.
During talk this morning Mr.. Will
son said; Il have just returned from
Chicago, where the committee appointed
by the House TO investigate the affairs
OF the Worlds Fair was in session. Just
before Congress adjourned it was stated
the condition Of affairs relative to the
Worlds Fair was bad and mismanage-
ment was charged at that time.
The committee quite fully investi-
gated affairs, aud while we found no
actual miSmanagement we found there
was bad snarl and that money has
been recklessly spent; this is especially
so in the way of large salaries.
''While we found much friction in
the local committee, and many things
tending to en6anger the success of the
Fair, am glad TO say that before We
left much of this friction had been re-
moved and affairs were assuming n bus
ineSS-like shape.
"Unanimity among the various mem
berS of the various committees seems
now assured, and have no doubt of the
success of the fair. Its success will be
greater than that of any affair of the
kind ever held.
'All Chicago wants is TO be let alone,
and she will show the world such an
Exhibition rs has never been seen.
had some doubts about the success of
the affair before | went to Chicago
have none now.
''How do like the recent election?
"Well, IL is strange Democrat who
is not perfectly satisfied. There were
several things which contributed to the
resultS-the Mckinley bill, the Force
bill. the action of Speaker Reed in the
House and the actions Of the Committee
on Elections. think the action OF the
Election Committee and the Mckinley
bill chiefly to blame for the result.
"YeS, / believe the Election bill will
be brought up, but have no idea it will
pass"
Mr.. Wilson is making no canvass for
the Speakership, but will not refuse to
be candidate.

MOVEMENTS OF SIOUX INDIANS.
Sitting Bull Said to be Losing Faith In the
Messiah Craze.

CHEYENNE, WYo., November 90
Word has been received here that Frank
Guard, the government scout, has
reached Buffalo, Wyoming, with in
formation that parties of Sioux Indians
are travelling up the Powder river val
ley towards the Big Horn region, and
depredations are feared. The Indians,
il not headed off, will cross the Big
Horn valley and join LOO Shoshones
and Arapahoes. These Indians have
gone through one Messiah craze and it
is doubtful il they can be stirred up by
their visitors. The troops in the region
are three companies at Fort Mckinney,
near Buffalo, and several companies OF
cavalry at Fort Washaki, on the Shos-
hone reservation. 1t is not known
whether the troops at Fort Russell will
go to Pine Ridge. or TO the scene OF this
last raid.
A special from Standing Rock Agcn-
cy, n. D., says that troops have been
ordered to the reservation and the gen.
eral effect has been bad. Several hun
dred of the braves have disappeared,
and it is the general impression that
they are running away from what they
regard as an impending calamity. The
aged warriors and women are frighten-
cd over the outlook and profess the
warmest friendship for the pale face.
The agent here has just returned from
Sitting Bulls camp, and reports that
the dances are still going on. but Sit
ting Bulls influence has weakened
greatly in the last week, and he has no
more than n hundred or so followers.
He received Agent Mclaughlin cordial
ly, but the bucks scowled on him: lie
had long talk with Sitting Bull, and
is satisfied the old chiefs faith in the
coming of the Messiah is on the decline,
and unless something unforeseen occurs
there is no probability of trouble this
winter and possibly none next spring.

laborS this morning.
The first task in hand was the straight
ening out Of the tangle into which the

OF the Treasury not to honor drafts
made on him by the Foreign Affairs
Committee, occupied most OF yesterdays
session and when adjournment was
taken yesterday afternoon two resolu-
tions, in effect consuming the Executive
Committee, were pending.
At this mornings session the matter
was put to rest by the passage OF reso-
luton to the effect that the action of the
Executive Committee was not intended
as diScourtesy to the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee, but had for its object
to notify the Secretary of the Treasury
that the state OF the funds available for
the use of the Commission for the re-
mainder of the year, was such that
strict economy on the part of all COM
mittces would be required.
The lady managers also met this
morning and proceeded to the formation
