Reflections on the Credit of Great Banking
House

House.
NEW YORK, July 30.-The Stock Ex-
change was full of false rumors to-day
affecting the credit of a banking house and
commercial firms, and the free manner in
which the names of big houses were handled
caused great anxiety. Il was believed by
many that there must be some foundation
for the reports, and many holders of stocks
and bonds threw over their securities. The
Union Pacific suffered most from bear at
tacks, which accompanied this liquidation,
and sold down to 394 or q below the lowest
point. Cotton and other staples were also
affected by the rumors. This evening the
Sun prints the folio ing in an extra: For
several years there have been whispers in
Wall street about the credit of a great
Anglo-American clearinghouse. 1t has
been understood that in consequence OF its
connection with some outside enterprises
the house has been in very shaAy condi-
ton. The house in question is one of the
oldest on Wall street, and its foreign
house is one of the largest banking houses
of London. The first talk about it began
some months ago when bills of exchange of
this bank were Disseminated against. Then
about two or three weeks ago it was under
8tood the house was in trouble and another
large house was helping il out. 1t was stated
that by tomorrow il would be definitely
known whether or not the house could pull
through. Mr.. D!ckey OF the firm of Brown
Bros 81 Co. said he had heard of the rumor.
1t was 10 the effect that some firm was in d. ht
in the sum of &c 100000 which they could
not pay. what the firm is, or whether
there Is any such firm at ALL do not know"
he continued. 81 only krow that it is not
cur firm, and that's all l know. The man
or men VINO started such rumor ought 10
be found out and sent to the penltentiary for
life. Such a crime is worse than murder
and does the country more harm"

eminent for the education of Indian chill
dren lad been used for the expenses of the
bureau, but the entire amount had been
paid to and used by the schools for which it
was intended.
BALTIMORE, July 30.-In a conversation
with reporter tonight regarding the con-
troversy between the Bureau of Catholic
Indian Missions and the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, Cardinal Gibbons said, after
investigation he is satisfied that undue in-
portance has been attached to the recent
controversy. He does not see how the
change in the manner of preparing the con-
tracts, deemed advisable by Commissioner
Morgan, can in any manner affect the
real Interests OF the Indians. and therefore
Catholics. The Bureau of Catholic
Indian Missions is still in position to labor
IN many fields of usefulness. Archbishop
Ireland. who visited the Commissioner, re-
celved ample and positive assurances of his
disposition and intention to treat the Cath
olc Indian schools with equity and gener-
osity. The Cardinal added that Archbishop
Ireland Is personally satisfied that Morgan's
assurances will be carried out, and that he,
the Cardinal, has every reason to believe
that the President and Secretary of the In
terror are benevolently disposed toward the
Catholic Indian schools, and will treat them
IN Just and equitable manner.

PHILADELPHIA. July 30.-Edward Pep
rer Sr. filed his answer to-day to the allega-
tions made against him by his son, Edward
Pepper Jr., Md, in bill in equity. In
his bill DIR. Pepper Jr. alleged that ne was
obliged to give up the practice of medicine

Inheritance from his mother and claims that

leave Paris because of ill-health, but says
his departure was owing to his mora! mis-
conduct. He agreed to pay his son 1000
francs month in order to avoid q scandal.
the payments to continue during good be-
havior on condition that the money should
be used for the support of his wife and fam
lily. He learned. however. that his son had
abandoned his wife and family and gone off
with another woman. and consequently he
had ceased paying the allowance. The
agreement was made solely for the support
OF young Peppers family and not to support
his son in life of degradation.

INDIAN FIGHTS TO A FINISH.
Rules Under Which One of the Principal

Rules Under Which One of the Principals
Is Sure to Be Knocked Out.
John T. Miller of Fort Reno, Okla.
while seated in group at the LacIede
Hotel, pugilism being the topic Of conyersa-
tion, said:
when you talk about fight to a finish
and Knockout blows, both are witnessed
in the aboriginal degree of perfection when
a fight between two Indian bucks is seen in
a ring, the circumference of which is not a
rope, but string Of interested human spec
tatoTs. 1t is TACT that among Indians of
the same tribe, though they may number
thousands, there are few cases of quarrels
among them that ever result in murder.
This is strange when it is remembered that
the Indian is passionate, uncontrolled in his
impulses, cruel and ferOci0us Dy nature.
They have their difficulties and quarrels,
however, but arbitration OF the old men
prevents bloodshed or murder.
Yet once in while a fight occurs and it
is novel sight to witness. One buck
challenges another to combat and, accom-
panied by their friends to the battle-ground,
each buck is stripped to the nudity so pleas
ing in high-cultured art schools among the
palefaces, and made to confront the nther.
Between them lies war Cuba smooth,

of service and regarded as a sort of mascot

just as hard as he can and with all the Wig

below the back. One blow is struck, and
then the man who has endured it picks up
the club, and his opponent is subjected TO
all the force he can command. So the
whackiDg goes on, and almost every blow is
a k1ockdown one, until the dueilist last
knocked down rises to his feet and refuses
to accept the club from his opponent. He
has had enough, and the party breaks up.
"The severity of the punishment inflicted
and endured in these duels is marvellous.
The club used has jagged edge, and every
blow struck brings blood, making deep cuts
and fearful bruises. | have seen two such
