HOPES ron MORE GOOD THAN III
Rev. Francis Tiffany Of tie Unitarian Asso-
caation gave an account Of the work done by
the school supported by his denomination
among the Grow Indians. He thought that on
me whole the present trouble in the west

one. IL was the natural reaction Of q
oaroaric people scared as they see the sd-
vances Of an unwelcome civilization. He did
mot think that the ghost dance was anything 20
De surprised at, for in his own Massachusetts
In the ancient city Of Salem about 200 years
ago they had their merry ghost dances and
hung elderly ladies for witchcraft. Look nj
the advances made in Massachusetts and re-
member that 200 years from now the Indians
may look back on their own follies and be
ashamed OF them. just rs the people Of Massa-
chusetts are supposed to be.

Strong Tone Was Apparent in the Stock
Market 1t the Opening.
New YoRx, Jan. s.-The stock MARKET this
morning showed len breadth than for the past
few days but . strong tone vas apparent and
the opening prices az compared with the final
figures Of last evening generally show advances
Of from u to e per cent. though Lake Shore
was n marked exception with 3 los of y. In
the early dealings St. Paul and Louisville
was among the active shares, but the
industrials were more prominent than usual
OF late and sugar certificates became the strong
feature Of the market, rising from 50 TO
81. After this the general list displayed more
activity and strength and Lackawauna rose IL
per cent TO 1854, though the advance in the
others was Of smallest fractions. Sugar at tho
same time reacted sharply to 593{, but among
the inactive stocks Tennessee coal rm V and
Delaware and Hudson to 134. There Las little
or no feature in the remainder of the market
and at II o'clock, while firm tone prevailed,
prices were but slightly changed from those Of
the opening
Money is easy at and4 per cent. The stock
market exhibited less animation after IL
O'Clock, but displayed q stronger tone in the
general list and further advances were scored,
though they liz all cases were for fractional
amounts only. Lackawanna again led, but
Rock Island and Union Pacific we're promi-
nent, with Delaware and Hudson and Denver
and Rio Grande preferred. There was no fea-
ture OF interest in the market, but ut noon it
was fairly active and firm at about the best
prices OF the morning.

President Balmaceda Will Not Convene
Congress to Pass Needed Laws.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Dispatches were received
this morning indicating the outbreak of trou-
blesome times in that rather quiet and staid
country, Chilli.
Mr.. Jeffreys of the firm of Flint 4 Co. was
seen and said:
''Yes, we have had several letters and also
some later dispatches, which give the difficulty
pretty fully. The whole trouble is between
the president, Mr.. Balmaceda and the congress.
The people, through the congress. want some
laws made, which will be concessions to the
lower classes. The president refuses to call the
congress together and does not desire the laws
made. i suppose the overbearing and tyrannical
action Of the president has exasperated the public
and LED to the rumors Of an outbiea which
you have heard. The exchange is down to u
pence, which is the lowest 1t has been FOR
years. 1 do not apprehend any serious dis
turbances or any difference in trade, for the
Chilians are a solid. plain people and possess a
deal of common sense. They are the best and
quietest people in South America and il they
are not down trodden too much will not make
much trouble"

An Exciting Condition Of Affairs In the
Nebraska Legislature.
LINCOLN. NEE. Jan. S.--All doors of the rep
resentatives' hall were closely guarded this
morning and none but members Of the leeis-
lature. state officers and persons having bust
ness inside were admitted. All the members
were ON hand promptly. although they found
great difficulty in pushing their way through
the crowds that filled the corridors and be-
sieged the capitol at all points.
The alliance members had taken possession
of the house at o'clock in the morning. They
placed the speaker in the chair and put cor
don of assistant sergeants-at-arms around him.
Wher Lieut.. Gov. Mickeljohn appeared he was
not allowed to take his seat, but stood in front
of the speaker, ready to call the joint session
to order.
At O'Clock the speaker issued an order for
the arrest of Lieut.. Gov. Mickeljohn. on the
charge Of misconduct in Office and breach of
the peace.
THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS DEFIANCE
The lieutenant governor defied the officer
and was not taken into custody. Both sid IS
had force of sergeants-at-arms within call
and any attempt on either side to proceed with
the canvass of the vote would have precipitated
a row. To avoid this committee from each
party was sent with statement of the case to
the supreme court, and at 1890 a. IN. the house

which officer has the constitutional right to
preside.
THE MILITIA ORDERED OUT.
Gov. Thayer has ordered out a company of
national guards and at IL o'clock they have
stacked arms in the corridors Of the capitol.
Crowds are arriving ON every train to attend
the Inauguration Of Governor-elect Boyd and
considerable impotence is shown over the delay
in counting the votes The militia was called
out only as precautionary measure. There is
little danger Of an outbreak.

SALISBURY SATISFIED.

Secretary Elaine Regarded ~ willing to Ar
bitrate the Seal Dispute.
LONDON, Jan. S.-Lord Salisbury is said to be
satisfied with Mr.. Blaine's latest utterance on
the Eering sea question, which is regarded as q
substantial agreement to submit the whole issue
to arbitration. The speech of Sir Edward
Clarke, who is known to have represented the
views Of the Government, leaves no doubt in
the public mind that the further seizure of
british vessels would have been met by hostili-
ties.
Hamburg dispatches state that several mer-
aealers to begin cruising in Boring sea about
Nay nsxt, and that promise has been given
from Berlin that two of the best vessels in the
German navy will cruise in the North Pacific
during the sealing season.

Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PARIs, Jan. S.-As an English lady journalist
well known as a writer for fashion papers was
engaged in taking notes in the avenue par ex-
cellence Of swell shops here, the Rue de Ia Paix,
before the windows Of leading jewelry estab-
lishments in several cases the employees came
out and politely explained the different
novelties. She had thus got on SWIM
mingly with her task when she stopped
before dealer in imitation gems,
which by law have to bear label stating
they are not genuine, when the owner appeared
and saying: Take yourself off; you can't make
drawings Of Jewels" snatched her note book
from her hand and by whistling and shouting
soon collected crowd whom he addressed
declaring that was the way foreigners came and
stole French ideas.
The mob acting on the hint began pushing
and soon rendered II SO uncomfortable for the
unfortunate woman that she sought safety in a
cab. She does not, however, propose to be
beaten either by street roughs or the shop
keepers and has put the matter in the hands Of
the police.
