WALL STREET FEVERISH.

Alarming RumOrs Continue and the
Market is Unsettled.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Ugly rumors are
again afoat and the market is very un.
settled. Several houses were said to be
tottering and might fall at any moment.
Among the houses named were two OF
three that had been considered among
the strongest of the street, and investi-
cation failed to disclose any grounds for
believing that they were in any danger
of going to pieces. A dispatch from
Philadelphia said that failure was ex-
pected which would make almost as great
a sensation in the financial world as the
revelations concerning Barring Bros &
Co. The dispatch did not say whether it
was New York or Philadelphia house,
and it did not receive any serious con-
sideration. There was renewal of the
report of the day before that anothe-
bank was going to fail. Inquiry among
banking circles did not elicit confirma-
tion of the report. On the contrary, dis
belief in it was expressed.
While none of the alarming rumors
could be traced to a tangible source, they
nevertheless had very disquieting effect
in Wall street, where the more appre-
hensive ones were disposed to show a be-
lief in the old adage of "where there is
smoke there must be fire. More dam
age has been done in the street by ru
mors than by actual occurrences. When
a smash occurred, people knew the con.
sequences Immediately, but when there
was talk of impending evil they stood in
fear and trembling and let the marke
swing unrestrained.

The Ex-President's Personal Letter to
Pennsylvania Governor-EIsct.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.--It having
been asserted that ex-President Cleve-
had neglected to congratulate Governor
ele|h Pattison, the following personal
letter is given to the public:
MY DEAR SIR: Though know that you are
overwhelmed with congratulations, cannot
resist the temptation to express to you my de-
light upon your election as Governor of
Pennsylvania. :
I have felt the most intense interest in the
contest in your State, and have had great
sympathy with the good people there, con-
fronted as they were with everything that
was bad, and this Endorsed and supported by
party claiming an immense majority of the
voters. 1t seemed to me that the condition
was almost pitiable, and that the struggle
between right and wrong, at such odds, ought
not to have been forced upon your grand old
commonwealth. But when It came, precipi-
tated by the arrogance of those accustomed
to deceive and betray the people with inn.
punity, almost held my breath. and, as an
American citizen proud of his country, prayed
God for the peoples safe deliverance and for
demonstration that they ad not lost theiK
love for honesty and right.
The demonstration came and I am now glad
that the issue between right and WRONG was
made SO clearly, and that the wrong so impu-
IDENTIFY displayed the banner under which its
fortunes were gathered
wanS to thank you, as citizen and as one
of the people, for the gallant fight you made
and for all that you have done In this trying
hour to save the American character; and
am SO glad that this was done under Demo-
cratic auspices-though think every man
who voted for you deserves the gratitude of
his fellow country men. Yours very sincerely,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 19.-The knights OF
Labor will probably adjourn this evening.

of Messrs. Wright, Devlin, Holland and
Davis, considered the question of strikes,
and after brief discussion agreed to let
the clause in the constitution relating to
this subject remain unchanged.
The committee on the good Of the
order made their report which was &C.
cepted. They recommended federation
of all labor organizations, the appoint
ment of committee to attend the next
annual convention Of the Farmers Ali
ance, supported the recommendation Of
Grand Master Workman Powderly for
the prevention Of needless strikes, and
strongly recommended the appointment

Murphy After Dixon Again.

BOSTON, Nov. 19.-Johnny Murphy, the

time was called for the first round in his
recent fight with Dixon. Two men who
have not lost confidence in little Murphy
are Billy Muldoon and Jake Kilrain.
Muldoon has sent a statement to this
city that he is willing to back Murphy
for another battle with Dixon, and Xii,

hacker said the colored lad would meet
Murphy when convenient, but that the
stakes would have to be larger than they

Intense Excitement Prevails in the COun-
try Around Mandan.
MANDAN, N. D., Nov. 19.-Every house
in town is full to overlooking with refu-
gees from country districts. The most
intense excitement prevails in the coun-
try. Settlers are prepared to believe
anything about the Indians because of
their queer actions lately. Several fami-
lies came in to-day on foot distance of
90 miles and over, too poor to own
wagons. To-day there are 200 Indians in
town armed, but the citizens are armed
too, and patrols will be out and people
will sleep with their clothes on.
date will be fixed by committee of
citizens, and Indian agents will be noti-
fed that after that date any Indian found
in this county without pass from the
agent will be killed ON sight. The popu-
lation is thoroughly aroused, and al
though conservative men are doing their
best to quiet the angry populace there is
every reason to believe that unless the
Government takes immediate steps to in
crease the force of soldiers here and at
Fort Lincoln every Indian coming into
the county will be killed.

ae Does Not Fear an Immediate Upris-
ing of the Indians.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-General Miles, who
is stopping at the Hotel Richelieu, was
more communicative than last night
t'The trouble with many Of the In
dians," said he, els that they. are starv-
ing In many districts their, crops have
failed utterly and they are thoroughly
discouraged. Then the Government cut
down their supplies. The Appropriation
bill was passed at a late hour and the
Indian feels that he is neglected.
t'The general tenor of the dispatches
received to-day is about the same as those
received yesterday. We are now doing
all in our power to prevent an uprising,
and troops are being disposed with that
object in view.''
While General Miles would not say he
thought the uprising would be nipped in
the bud, he intimated that he hoped to
be able to prevent war. In fact, his
expressions were more suggestive OF
peace than they were last night.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 19.-The COM
mittee of 43 of the employees of the Erie
system who have been in the city for the
past two days, have concluded their
labors and most of them left for home.
They met in secret session and after they
finished refused to give out anything.
The men all appeared to be serious, and
one Of the leaders said to a reporter as
he left the hotel: "You haven't heard the
last of it yet" 49,
1t is safe to say that the entire object
of the meeting was to discuss the de-
mands made on the management of the
road and the answer received from Presi-
dent King. No amount of persuasion
could induce any of them.to tell whether
or not the session had been concluded.

Are The American People Ungrateful 2
An Open Letter to the Hon F. B. Rice,
President of the Board of Trade.

An Open Letter to the Hon F. B. Rice,
President of the Board of Trade.
DEAR SIR:-We wish to call yonr atten-
ton to q matter which we think is of the
utmost Importance to your honorable board,
as we'll as to every citizen who has the in.
terest of the city at heart. The Board OF
of Trade was organized for the express
purpose of encouraging the industries of
our thriving city, and affording every OPP
portunity to progressive merchants to come
here and locate. Their taxes were to be
only nominal. Every avenue that
would lead to their permanent prosperity
was to be opened, as long as it would
not interfere with the rights of others.
Now, VIVA; are the facts Let us see. We
came here and located. We built on Grand
street Finally we outgrew our new quar-
ters and purchased the property adjoining
on South Main street We built thereon
a mammoth establishment, the name of
which is know from Maine to California.
Well, what is the result We had &C.
casion this week to appear before the as
SCISSORS, and because we pulled down the
shanties that have made this part of South
Main street hideous for more than half a
century, and erected a building that is at
once the wonder and admiration of the
people, they have trebled our taxes and
fined us for our industry. If we had
failed in our business, swindled our credi-
tors and let the old rookeries stand, OUR
TAXES would be left as they were.
This is what they are doing in Ireland
They raise fellows rent if he white
washes the pigstye, because he makes tho
place valuable by his industry and cleanli-
ness They have sent their illustrious
countrymen, DILLON and O'BRIEN, over
here to tell this story. Soon we will be
sending =. r. BALDWIN and r. =. LEWIS
or their equals out in the world to tell our
story.
We want to ask you, Mr. Rice and gentle
tlemen of the Board of trade, if we keep
building up and improving and remain in
dustrious, are we going to be fined accord
iugly?
Why don't you tax us for our industry
in reducing the prices of Furniture 30 per
cent in seven years9 Why don't you fine
us for our industry in buying our goods
by the carload and placing them here on
the market in Waterbury at manufacturers
prices9 Is this the encouragement we get
for selling $1S Lounges at $12.5O. Almost
everyone within fifteen or twenty miles
has a bank book since we started business.
In conclusion we will say that If this
ruinous policy is pursued we shall remove
our plant to Bridgeport, and the howl OF
the people of Waterbury will be like cy..
clone, and nothing will be left of the Board
of Trade but grease spot
Very truly yours, and we still remain the
neople's

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The War De-

tending to confirm or discredit the alarm
ing news published in the newspapers
about a threatened Indian uprising.
Several new men are now Indian agents
at points in the Sioux Nation, and being
unfamiliar with the Indian character,
they have become, in the opinion of
War Department officials, unnecessarily
alarmed by the demonstrations of the In
dams, and have given out to the news
papers an expression of their fears, which
t is believed will prove to be ill founded.
