WASHINGTON, January THE House In
dian Affairs Committee had q delegation of
Sioux chiefs who are visiting the East before
it to-day. John Grass, who was the chief
spokesman, wanted the provisions of the Sioux
Commission agreement carried out, and also
asked indemnity for $500 ponies said to have
been run of by General Terry long while ago.
Grass then made an earnest onslaught upon
the practice of sending Indians to Eastern
schools. The Indian youth, he said, should be
educated at schools on or near the reservation
Too few of the Indians could be sent to schools
in the East to have any beneficial effect upon
the great mass of the Indians when they return
to the reservations after finishing their educa-
tion in the East. More Indians could be sent
to reservation schools, and these schools should
be improved,

A MILLIONAIRE TRAMP.
Sent to the BrideweII in Default
OF q Fine.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Peter Mueller, an
old man. reputed to be worth $3.50, ,0OO,
was yesterday sent to the Bridewell for
sixty days for begging OH the streets.
For many years Mueller and his wife
lived In miserable hovel on the banks
of the Illinois and Michigan canal, in
the township OF Cicero. They lived in
a most miserable manner, denying them
selves everything except as absolute
necessary TO keep them alive. Many
stories were told by the neighbors of
their reputed wealth. and one night about
four years ago four masked men en-
tered the hovel and demanded the "pot
OF gold'' the old couple were believed to
keep therein. Mueller and his wife
pretended they had no money. Then
the robbers, by the most horrible tor
lures, sought to draw from them the
secret OF the hiding place OF the treas
ure, but in vain. The next day the
Muellers were found almost dead by
nelghbors. Their feet were terribly
burned. and their bodies covered with
bruises and cuts inflicted by the mis-
creants. Mueller for several years past
has made practice of begging on the
streets. and about year ago was locked
up one night. The next morning the
justice, moved to compassion by the
old mans pitifdl tale. discharged
him from custody. When Mueller
returned to his miserable home,
he found the dead body of his wife
hanging to rafter. 1t was supposed
she had worried so over her husbands
absenee-the first during their married
llfe-that in moment of great deSpond-
ency she had taken her own life.
Since then Mueller has lived all alone
in the shantY, making no change in his
mode of living. Sunday he made such
nuisance of himself be gging in front
Of ST. Francis church that an officer
arrested him. Yesterday in the JUS
tees court he refused to answer any
questions or to pay the fine imposed,
and was sent to the brideWell. Mueller

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-To appreciate the
real danger with which the settlers of
Dakota are threatened, Col. J. II. King,
a government official who comes from
the seat of threatened war, says it is
necessary to come to Chicago. In talk
ing of the matter to-day he said:
''Oh. yes; there are lot of soldiers
there. l suppose they might as we'll be
there as anywhere. But as for any
need existing for their presence, well, 1
don't see 1t. One Would imagine, to
read the reports, that the noise made by
the Indians sharpening their scalping
knives could be heard miles away. and
that for man not bald-headed to ven
ture within the redskins reach would
be tantamount to designation for life.
But the contrary is true. Any one can
go right into their midst. witness their
ghost dance and come away feeling
much as if he had been to the theater.
and quite as free from molestation. The
Indians, when spoken to about their
threatened outbreak. laugh as YOU
would were you asked if you contem-
plated thrashing Sullivan"

BosToN, Nov. 25.-A letter has been
received by the American Missionary
association from Miss NJ. C. Collins,
whose regular station is on Grand
River, n. d. She wrote N ov. 10 of the
present Indian excitement:
81 have been up to Sitting Bulls, and
the dance is in full blast. 1t is a most
terrible thing-the old sun dance with
new name. They dance facing the
sun as long as possible, and fall down,
moan, groan and whoop and foam at
the mouth like mad dogs. They do
not yet cut the bodies, but that will
soon come. The men all DIR ess
in war dress, and paint and feathers,
and the women also take part and paint
ana wear feathers, which is a new feat
ure (wOmen never wear 1eathers). Sit
ting Bull stayed in sacred tent and
every one entering the dance for the
first time went into the tent to be made
'wakan,' and painted with crescents on
the forehead, cheeks and chin, and
across oD the nose. / went into the tent
and talked with the old man. He as
sented to everything but promises moth
ing. He means war;
Miss Collins states that Sitting Bull
has told the Indians to pay no attention
to the orders of the agent or of the
president; that he would bewitch the
ammunition of the soldiers so the guns
won't kill. He is thoroughly and hope
lessly bad.

RUGER TO MILES.
Reassuring Dispatches Sent by
the Former.

CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-All the dispatches
from the Northwest received at army
headquarters to-day were of so reassur-
ing nature that Gen. Miles left for
home hours earlier than lie has done for
a week past. Just before his departure
the following dispatch was received
from Gen. Ruger at st. Paul:
Following of this date received from COM
manding officer Il Fort Yates: Little in the
gone on the war path. Reports indicate Sit
ting Bull aud followers badly frightened.
Dispatches received from Gen. Brooke at
Pine Ridge were to the effect that all was
quiet and everything pleasant"
While reading this Gen. Miles re-
marked that the Indians were great
braggadocios, and that it was hard to
tell what a day or two might bring
forth. In his opinion. the trouble would
never be ended until the Sioux Indians
were put in position where they could
do no more harm or mischief. 1t was
time that effective measures were taken
to put a stop to all nonsense among the
redskins and to prevent the possibility
of their making trouble every few years.
Late tonight Adjt. Gen. Williams
stated that dispatch had been re-
ceived from Gen. Ruger to the effect
that his advices proved that an elabo-
rate report, sent out yesterday regard
ing some 600 Indians at Devils Lake
and Turtle Rock leaving the reserva-
ton and preparing for the warpath, was
false in every particular. The Indians

pointed was the inability of the COM

gency of the money market MIR. Smith
attributed the defaultine of interest,
aud said that when money was easier
