THREATENING REDS.

Indians In Dakota Becoming FESTIVE and
Defiant-The Wac Department. Taking
Measures to Prevent an Outbreak.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Advices re-
0eivee by the War Department from
General Miles indicate that the Indians
N Dakote are threatening an outbreak
and ShaS the whites in the vicinity Of
the Cheyenne, Rosebud and White
Earth agencies are very much alarmed
at the hostile attitude of the Indians .
The Indians seem to have been stirred
up over the coming of the Messiah, re-
ports of which have been heretofore
made by the agents and military officers,
and the medicine men have succeeded
in producing sta e of feeling that is
likely to produce trouble unless the
Government sends large body of troops
into the field. The Interior Depart
pent hae become alarmed and has
Surned Che matter over to the War De-
partment
xhe indians at the Cheyenne agency
have defie& the agents and the Indian
police. and the reports from the Brule
and Ogallalls bands of Sioux are also of
q threatening character
Upon the recommendation of General
Miles Che War Depar tment yesterday
issued orders for the Eigh thea valry at
Fort Meade 60 take the field, and the
troops at Forts Niobrara, Robinson,
Laramie and other posts in the vicinity
of the threatened outbreak may also be
ordered out
1t is evidently the intention of the
War Department t6 make similar demon
stration against the Northern Indians
should the exgencies require.

frigerator Company of Boston resulted

in operation for the past four years,
will shut down until the latter is adj
justed. ghig will throw 1000 men out

Talking of patent medicine

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0er,ytAzmg and SO, between
the experiments of DOCTORS,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in every
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk Of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.

LOST AT SEA.
The British Cruiser Serpent Lost at Sec

The British Cruiser Serpent Lost at Sec
With All on Board Except Three.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-The British tor
pedo cruiser Serpent has foundered of
the coast of Spain The vessel was a
twin screw steamer of TO tons and 4, 500
horse power. She carried six guns.
The Serpent was lost at point TWEEN
ty miles north of Cape Finistere.
Out of total Of $50 souls on board
only three were saved.
The Serpent went on the rocks dur
ing storm on Monday night. A heavy
mist prevailed at the time of the dis
aster. Owing to the violence of the
storm it was impossible to send assist
ance from the shore
Tremendous seas swept the decks of
the doomed vessel, carrying away group
after group of the unfortunate men on
board.
The news of the wreck was conveyed
to Corunna, distance of sixty miles,
over mountain roads.
The Serpent's complement was ITO
officers and men. The others on board
were going out to relieve men now on
ships on the African station.
The three persons saved from the
Serpent are sailors who swan ashore at
Camarinas. They express the belief
that all the others on board were
drowned but only four bodies have been
washed ashore as yet There is no tel
egraph station at Camarinas
The Serpent was built after the ideas
of Admiral Kay, who insisted upon an
immense horse power, which, according
to- previous notions, was out of all pro-
portion to her displacement She could
maintain speed of seventeen knots an
hour. Lord Brassey in his naval annual
adversely criticises the vessel. He said
that economy of weight had been car
ried to excess in the construction of the
ship. that her p ating was too thin and
that her armament was overdone. In
sea way, he said, her heavy top weight
would be q detriment to her speed, and
would unduly strain her hull The
vessel was 225 feet long, while she had
a draught of 1419 feet. The relatives Of
the crew of the Serpent at Plymouth
and the dockyard people are full of
gossip about the lost cruiser. 1t is
claimed that she was unseaworthy and
She broke down on all her al trips
Commander Ross is said to have been
in the habit OF treating his men with
undue severity.

after the old bell had been rung as
never before, a bright genius suggested
the possibility of digging up the old
wooden town pump. converting it into a
cannon and firing salute in honor of
the good King George. No sooner said
than done.
THE old pump, which was hewn out
of log and was perhaps twenty feet
long, was dug up, and the village cooper
and blacksmith took turns in transform

| covered it with wooden hoops and then
the blacksmith riveted iron hoops
around its venerable body at short in

was one end of the pump. and an i'm

been procured at New London by a mes

AppREHENoep DEFICIENCY.
Pension Payments Cutting Deeply Into the
Public Funds.

Pension Payments Cutting Deeply Into the
Public Funds.
WASHINGTON, Nov. i5.-SecretarJ
Window is preparing his estimates for
the coming session of Congress Though
the Mckinley tariff law went into effect
on the 9th Of October, goods imported
before that date may be withdrawn any
time prior to the first of February at
the old rate of duty. These duties
coming in with those collected under
Che new law it is difficult to estimate
what ehe revenues under the new law
will be at present The daily revenues
exceed the daily oc3:nary expenses but
there is no means Of estimating what
the custom revenues will be after
February l. 1t is not improbable
that the largely increased rates of
duty in many instances will reduce inn
portations, and therefore reduce the
revenues The indications are that
there will ba some very large defcien-
4 ies in the appropriations for this year
to be provided for at the next session.
The deficiency on account of pensions
will be enormous Up to date there has
been S64. 600, 900 drawn out of the
Treasury for pensions since the LIST of
July. eAbout $40, 900, 600 of this sum was
drawn this month, and it is hoped at
the depart ment that there will be no
more .persion drafts before January.
Upon this basis it is estimated that the
expenditures for pensions during the
whole year Gill be S14O, OOO 900 or $50, =
600, 600.
But it seems quite probable that the
$40, 600, 00e just drawn will not last I'M
til January, and that the expenditure
for the whole year will be much more
than estimated. Deducting the S19,-
600. 900 noe yet expended, the expendi-
lures for thu first quarter of the year
have amounted to about S44, 600. 600.
This carried out for the four quarters
would make the expenditures for the
year size, 600. 900. to meet which less
than 500, 600. 600 has be en- appropriated.
Meanwhile the number of pensions is
steadily increasing and the deficiency
may be greater than $76. 900. 600.

eyes to Be Reciprocal
WASHINGTON. Nov. 13-Secretary
Blaine was the central figure in dram.
attic scene here yesterday afternoon.
Grouped together in the. Office OF the
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
were many noted Government officials
and three score of the leading railroad
lawyers of the country for public
hearing about certain privileges grant
ed to the Grand Trunk railroad in hav-
ing goods for Canada sealed in cars at
American ports and forwarded in bond
to their destinations Those who OPP
should be placed on the cars at the
United States port nearest the Canadian
destination of the goods Around
table sat the official board, Secretary
Window, Assistant Secretary Spaulding
and Solicitor Hepburn Secretary
Blaine was also present Several
speakers had made remarks and Secre.
tary Blaine with memb ers Of the board
had asked questions
When A. c. Raymond, who had spoken
for an hour or So had concluded Secre-
tary Blaine arose. He said that he was
and not in any official character. He
wished to say, however. in answer to
Mr. Raymond's suggestion that this
might be policy of retaliation, that he
felt sure the Government had no such
thought; that the mere supposition of
such policy and the arguing against it
might create serious misrepresentation
in the country as to such an intention
on the part of the Government and
that for this reason he interposed to
prevent any such idea going abroad as
the result of this hearing. Mr.. Ray
mond was himself the representative OF
the Canadian Pacific railway. and if
| the Government of the United States
| had been DESTROYS of throwing obstacles
| in the way of developing that great
road it would not have given it the
privilege of going through two States
of the Northwest and crossing at the
| Sioux, nor would his own State of
Maine have given it the liberty of cross
ing its entire territory in order that its
connection with the cities of the mari
time provinces of New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia might be made some 200
| miles nearer.
Mr. Blaine suggested that the best
mode of resisting retaliation or un-
friendliness was to make the system alb
solutely complete and perfect. and
he asked Mr.. Raymond if he thought 1t
was So
MIR. Raymond answered that he had
so regarded it.
Mr.. Blaine said that it would be much
more satisfactory to the section from
which he came if Halifax and St. John
could treat New England as fairly and
as generously as Portland and Boston
treated the provinces. They might
land any cargo of fish or any thing else
at Portland and ship to their homes,
but the American fisherman making his
catch hundreds of miles beyond the
three-mile limit could not secure that
privilege from the lower provinces He
suggested that Mr.. Raymond would
labor to q good end in making the sys.
TEN for which he spoke absolutely per-
feet if he could wipe out an inequality
which was known and recognized over
the whole country as far as Vancouver.

Referring to Shallenberger's Antidote for
Malaria, the business manager of the Her
aid of Faith would say, that he gave this
medicine personal trial, and was speedily
cured of an unpleasant Intermittent Fever.
He then recommended it to f. j. Tiefen-

Ger Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of
whom were cured by it of chills and fever
of several years standing. Recently his
wife. after a fever of several days duration,
took a single dose and was perfectly cured
In view of these remarkable cures, and re-
membering how much money is spent for
quinine, so little to be depended upon. and
often so injurious, we can only wish that
ShalIenberger' Antidote would come into
general use.
