In Chicago the Returning
Chiefs Indulge in 0mi-
nous Threats.
Not Pleased With Their Washington
Visit They Go Home Un-
placated.
Some Census Figures on Increase
eof School Population---Re-
markable Gains.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2o-There will be an
other bloody Indian war In the spring,
If the ugly tempers OF the Sioux bucks
evidenced here are not speedily soothed.
The chiefs have returned from Wash
ington In fghting mood, and there Will
be more trouble for western settlers.
The whole trouble has been accumulated
by the cold reception Of the Indians at
Washington. American Horse, one of
the most powerful chiefs, who lost bis
all In attempting to suppress the outbreak
at Pine Ridge was one OF those most
coldly neglecte at Washington. Amer
lean Horse il the orator of the
Ogailalas. lie is the peer of Gall
or Grass, OF Standing Rock, and Is be-
licyed by many To be the greatest spokes-
man the Sioux nation has yet produced.
lie was made chieftain by the govern
ment at the time IL elevated Spotted
Horse aud Fast Thunder To the same po-
sit!on. But American Horse is a man.
lie Is not the child Commissioner Nor
gan or President Harrison were so ready
TO class him. With all the fire OF Sioux
anger the old warrior told the govern
ment officials, In words that could not be
misconstrued, that he would resign his
chieftalncy of the Sioux, SO that In fu-
ture II his people went 10 war his arm
would not be raised between them aud
the soldiers. The visit 10 Washington
was OF no avail SO far as any oycrtures
for peace are concerned. Nouna-Man
Afraid-of- His-Horses, Big Road and
Little Wound, three OF the most
powerful chiefs of the Sioux ma
tion, were throttled. Big Luis Prim
reau, chief Of police Of Standing Rock,
and one of the interpreters who accom-
panied the interior department delegates
to Washington, says there will be war
just a. soon as the grass gets high and
green. Brules and Ogallalas will start
the trouble, he says, and they VIII be
quickly Joined by Standing Rock and
Cheyenne river warriors under Bone
Tomahawk. One Bull, relative Of Sit
ting Bull. and Crawler. The Yankton-
nails, a renegade tribe OF all the bands OF
the Sioux, will doubtless come down from
Poplar river, so IL may also be expected
that the Shoshones, the Grosventres, the
Crees, the snakes and the bands from
the cheyennes and the Arapahoes VIII
join the war party.
Even so great and conservative chief
"a John Grass, OF the Uncapapas, OF
Standing Rock. predicts an uprising In
the spring, and In All Interview with
reporter here, made the significant state
ment that the Sioux would never sur
render the bad Lands for settlement,
for the reason that they afforded the
warriors far too good lighting grounds to
warrant their relinquishment Primreau
Is satisfied that when the crash OF war
comes the Indians will be found fghtlng
together aud not in rowing bands.

au Open switch at Mansfield. Pa.


PITrsBUne, Feb. 20.--The sherman
funeral train ran into an open switch at
Mansfield, Pa, but was only delayed five
minutes. But for the fact that the train
was running slowly collision would
have occurred.
When tho train left Hamburg last
night at 1880 cold rain was falling.
Thia.continued all night and when the
train arrived at Pittsburg II was still
raining. The run, during the night was
devoid OF incident, crowds OF old sol
diers and citizens assembled at all sta
tions along the line to sec the train 20
through. At Edgewood the train
stopped long enough for three Of
Lieut. Fitch's children to get on. As
the funeral train neared Pittsburg and
the roads crossing 1t became more nu-
merous group after group OF people
we're 10 be seen standing there, unmind-
ful OF the rain, only intent on honoring
In their humble way the re-
mains OF the dead hero. Soon after
they got ON the train the grandchildren
were taken by Lieut.. Fitch, their father,
into the composite car that they might
see the casket In which lay all that was
mortal OF their illustrious grandfather.
Nearly all the people on the train arose
and got ready for breakfast a. Pittsburg
was reached at 7:45.
When the train arrived In this city the
bells tolled and minute guns were fired
The flags dropped In the rain at half
mast At the depot was Assem- bled a
large crowd, regiment OF the national
guard and all the grand army posts OF
the city were In line and when tho train
stopped they saluted.
The departure from Pittsburg was at
7:lO. breakfast was served AS soon as
the train got outside the city limits and
the storm cleared away.

Manner of Buying.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The acting
secretary Of the treasury, In answer to
senate resolution, states that the basis
on which he estimates the market price
OF silver Is the daily quotations OF silver

prices and the prices at which silver is
offered for sale to the government, the
rule being 10 accept the lowest offers,
provided they do not materially exceed
the highest market price Ia the TIN GO
named cities. Mr.. Nettleton further
states that no silver bullion has been
purchased by the government outside OF
the United States, but undoubtedly
large quantities OF foreign bullion have
been delivered TO the government on pnr-
chases made from parties residing In the
