WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - Secretary
Foster says that the recent bank failures
do not prove that the system is defective
or that Comptroller Lacey has neg
lected his duties. 1t is impossible, he
says. to have banking or other system

ter says only about ten banks have
failed during the past year out of 1000,
which he considers a small percentage.
1t is probable he win appoint more ex.
aminers.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 16. One of the
most disastrous fires in years, from the
fact that an entire family were con-
suined. occurred here early In the morn
ing in row Of tenement house on North
High street. The exact origin Of the
IRE remains mystery, but on the first
alarm flames were seen shooting from
the roof. licking mp everything within
grasp. The firemen endeavored to
reach the rooms, but the dense smoke
made ID useless. One of the captains did
get partially inside the building, but
was pulled out again nearly suffocated.
Two hours were consumed in gaining
control Of the flames and long ere that
every person was supposed to have es-
capped. Such, however, was not the
case. 1t was nearly O'Clock p. m.
when little girl living in the neighbor-
hood, with childish curiosity ran
through the ruins, which led to the
discovery Of Il

Out to Bring Them Back without

Department Mt Wasls-
ington.

PIERRE, s. D., Nov. ia remnant
OF Big Foot's band of Indians under Red
Cloud, numbering some sixty families,
10 in open revolt against the authority
OF the agent at Cheyenne agency. The
particulars as learned from Indian
Allotting Agent Mexican, are: This
band of Indians has been living on the
south side of the Cheyenne river on
ceded lands, as no Indian can live OF
from reservation without taking land
In severalty and declaring his intention
OF becoming citizen. Mexican went
up to allot their Indian land. When he
got there he found that they had q few
days before sold off all their stock,
which amounted to considerable, packed
up their effects and left only q trace Of
their former camp. He notified the
agent, who dispatched half a dozen In
dian police after the band to bring
them back to the Cheyenne agency, as
they were under the agent Of that
agency. They overlook the band near
the edge of the Pine Ridge agency and
endeavored to persuade them to return.
All but one Indian refused, and stated
that they were going on to Pine Ridge
agency to reside there in the future.
The Indian policemen returned to the
agent, and when Mexican left he had
dispatched q big force of Indian police
to bring them back without fail. It Is
not believed that there viii be any great
trouble, as there is not q large enough
band to make much resistance. These
Indians are naturally of a mean disposi-
ton and do not like to live under the
authority of the government

HARASSING MINISTER EGAN.
The Unpleasant Course Adopted By the
Junta in Chill.

A special cable to the New York Herald from
to the United States government and to Ameri-
cans generally reaches me today from Santiago
1t is to the effect that the leaders of the junta,
for what reason does not yet clearly appear,
have for the last few days adopted a course
which has had the result Of harassing Minister
Egan. Ii may be the expression of resentment
growing out of the Itata seizure. which has
never been rightly understood by the congress
sionalists, but has aroused stSong feeling of
antipathy to the United States, or it may be
the determination TO make 1t so unpleasant for
Mr.. Egan account of stories spread about
his sympathy with Balmaceda as to drive the
minister out of Chilli.
These are only surmises. The fact is tina.
the junta has been endeavoring to induce Mr.
Egan to give up all those who have sought
refuge in the United States legation. The junta
has even gone further than this. 1t has pu,
forth the claim that it has the right to ares,
any one. no matter of what nationality, who
may be found on the street or anywhere else
out of the four walls of the legation.
In keeping with this claim number of for
eigners have already been placed under arrest
Among them are three Americans who were
engaged in business here. The matter went Sc
far that every person having occasion to visi,
the legation ordered to obtain a permit
from the intendente before he was allowed to
go into the place.
To enforce this rule a force of police were
put on guard outside the legation and patroiled
the block day and night until Friday last,
when Mr.. ESan entered a most vigorous pro-
test to the whole proceeding. His manner
was so earnest that the police were Withdrawn.
1t is said he has referred the matter to the
authorities at Washington.

Shot by Col. Bradford Durham.

Col. Bradford Dupham. general superin-
tendent Of the Alabama Midland railroad and
q former general manager of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, shot James Cunningham, a
young man about nineteen years old, with a
double barreled shot gun at Montgomery,
Ala, yesterday afternoon. killing him in
stantly. Col Durham drove at once to the
county Jail and surrendered himself. d.
From an attorney and intimate friend of
Col. Durham it was ascertained that Cunning
ham wrote Col Dunham's wife letter asking
her to meet him at park near the city. This
letter was turned over to Durham. He got a
friend to write q decoy letter to Cunningham
no name being signed. He then sent his friend
to the park to zee who had written the letter,
and his friend found young Cunningham there.
1t is further stated that Durham then notified
Cunningham not to repeat the story OF the decoy
letter and the insult offered at the peril of his
life. A few weeks later Cunningham was dis
charged from Dunham's Office, and thereupon
he displayed the decoy letter on the streets and
said it was written to him by Mrs. Durham.
These things were told to Col. Durham and
the killing followed. Cunningham was the
only son of n widow.
