was ordered this evening By General Miles, to
take place tomorrow. Practically all the troops
at the agency will participate. There is belief
that this display will be the last feature of the
campaign, aud that the Indians viii be duly inn
pressed with the number of soldiers available to
suppress any uprising.
General Miles has succeeded In allaying TO a
great extent the excitement under which the
Indians labored yesterday over the killing OF
Few Tails. General Miles has sent word TO the
Indian chiefs that they must not look upon the
movement of the troops reviewing as one
directed against them. but rather as an evidence
that the cam paign is drawing 70 a close.
The first large beef issue under the new agent,
Pierce, takes place tomorrow. Fifty-fivc hun
dred people win be fed the first time. One beef
win be issued to twenty two people, instead Of
thirty, Ms formerly. This increase greatly
pleases the Indians.

BOSTON AGAINST SILVER.
Meeting of Business Men at Faneui
Hall Objects to Free Coinage.

Boston, Jan. 2o.-Faneuil hall was packed to-
day by business men of Boston, gathered at the
call OF Mayor Mathews, to formally protest
against the free coinage of silver.
number OF addresses were made. General
+. a. Walker deprecated the admission into the
Union OF new states to neutraizc the influence
OF older communities. The free coinage OF sill
yer is dishonest and destructive.
The principal speech was made by Hon. Ed
ward Atkinson. He said, in part, that small
fraction Of senators from the remote border

tiyes OF silver mines rather than OF the people

the barnyards OF the country; not even equal In
value to the poultry aud eggs of the poor New
England farmers; wOrkmen, manufacturers and
all the solid sense Of this country is against the
measure. In conclusion Atchison said:
'I.et us call upon the executive and the legis-
lature OF the state to see to IL that an act is

commonwealth which throughout all time
has maintained the promise according 20
its intent and meaning, whatever the law of
legal tender may have been. We shall be iusti-

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-The Wagner Palace Car
Company won temporary victory over the
Pullman Company today in decision by Judges
Blodgett and Gresham in the long-drawn-out
yestibule case In recent case before Judge
Colt. in the United States circuit court for Mas
saehusetts il was held that Wagner was infring-
ing on Pullman's patents, and an Injunction
was issued. Then Pullman asked that the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central roads be enjoined
from using the vestibule, but Judges Gresham
and B!odgett to-day refused this until a full
hearing can be had. The court held that the
patent granted Sessions IN November, 1857, in
VOWED the same Improvements, and that il was
not shown that Pullman had prior right to the
patent. The case, therefore, Is still left open.
