Italy has decided not to recognize the Chicago
fair officially, but fortunately the Italian Govern
ment, like Sir Joseph Porter, has a set of unof-
fetal opinions which are sometimes at variance
with its official sentiments. Officially the Govern
ment will ignore the fair, but unofiicially it VIII
furnish encouragement TO exhibitors. SO long
as the sending fexhibits is encouraged it Will
not make much difference to Chicago whether 1t
is done in one way or another.

A Democratic journal predicts that Mr. Mchln-

One Waterloo was enough for the great Napoleon,
and one ought to have sufiiced for Mr.. Mckinley.
The state of mind which enables Democratic

1t seems hardly possible that the actors can
seriously contemplate giving up an appeal to the
courts to settle their disputes No form of free
advertising except the loss of diamonds has been
so popular among members of the theatrical pro-
fesson as actions for breach of contract. When
ever a "star" found the business dull dispute
with the manager and subsequent proceedings in
court proved effective in restoring popularity.
An actress could always maintain her sefesteem
bv signing two or three contracts covering the
same period of time and letting her managers
fight for her services If these practices should
suddenly cease and disputes be settled quietly by
arbitration, one of the principal means of amuse-
ment and excitement would be lost to the pro-
fession.

Story Of a KioVa Indians Jour-
ney to Nevada.
He Bseame Convinced That 'JaCk Wilson
lSa Very Ordinary RedSsin.
Advised 10 Tell Els People to Stop Their
Ghost Dance or They Would Get Into
Trouble With the Soldiers.
Special to THE MoRNINa CALI

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Briga dier-Gen-
erai Merritt has sent to the Secretary of the
Interior communication from Lieutenant
Il. l.. Scott of the Seventh Cavalry, sta
toned at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, which states
that he went to Anadarko February 10Th.
where the Caddos, Wichitas, Delawares,
klowas and Apache Indians were gathered
to receive their annuities. The report says:
"Apiatom, the delegate the Kiowas had
sent north to find the Messiah, had returned
from his quest. Apiatom relates a very in-
teresting story of his search. He went first
to Pine Ridge, Nebr, then to Fort Washable,
then to some place in Nevada where there
is Pute Agency near two large lakes, and
supposed TO be Walkers or Pyramid lake.
The agent at Anadarko gave him every IA
ciity to continue his search, the good effect
of which policy is now plainly apparent.
Apiatom left the agency in a wagon and
found the so-called Messiah somewhere be-
tween the two lakes.
'Aplatom approached his camp with
much awe and very reverential feeling,
expecting that lie would be addressed in the
kiowa language and be recognized at once
as that Kiowa Indian who had been praying
faithfully to Jesus for the last three years,
and who had come so far to see him. None
of these expectations were realized. The
Messiah, whose name was Jack Wilson.
was not to be seen until the next day, and
when admitted to his august presence lie
was found lying on bed covered above his
eyes by blanket, singing TO himself and
paying no attention to his visitor.
when the Messiah had finished singing
he uncovered his face and asked Apiatom
who he was and what he wanted through
ShOsbOne Interpreters. ApiatOIn began to
feel that this was an ordinary Indian, and
when he had explained who lie was and
asked to be allowed to see some of his dead
relations and was told that there were none
there for him to see, he became convinced
that this was man after bis own kind, and
no Messiah at all. Jack Wilson told him
that he need look no further, that he was
the only Jesus there. that he had told Sit
ling Bull and others few things and had
given them dance, but they had gotten
things twisted after leaving him the Sioux
especially had gone wrong and great many
people had been killed in consequence
ApatUm had therefore better tell his people
TO stop that dance or it might lead them into
trouble also"
The report states that Apiatom has made
himself very unpopular by his report, and
in telling tie truth should be rewarded in
some way by the Government. The Kiowa
politicians wanted a favorable report in
der to have some excitement. The Kowas
have quit dancing; but the Caddos do not put
any faith in ADiatom, as they claim he did
not see the right Jesus. 1t is suggested by
Indian Commissioner Morgan that the re-
port be printed aud several thousand cop
les be sent among the Indians who have en-
gagged in the Messiah dance.

ported Missing Within a Week.
The Inauguration Of The Basic Steel Pro-
cess In the South Celebrated by a
Banquet at Chattanooga.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

Boston, March 12.-Marine underwriters
are most anxious just now over the fate of
five large vessels which have all been posted
as missing inside of the present week which
is something unusual. The vessels are Nim-
rod, German ship; Thanemore, British
steamship; Edmund, British brig; Mari
ana Greaves, British brig.
The Nimrod sailed from Pictou, N. S.,
October 31st for Liverpool. That was six
months ago, and not word has been heard
from her since She was under command
of Captain E. D. B. Weling. The Nimrod
was formerly an American ship, having
been bull. at Medford, N. J.
Tie steamship Thanemore, given up for
lost, was formerly the City Of Antwerp.
The Thanemore sailed from Baltimore, No.
vember 2sth, for London. She had. besides
a general cargo, 545 head of cattle. On
January 2Sth the British brig Amelia, Cap
tain Hocken. from Laguira for Queenstown,
passed about 800 miles north of Chesapeake
Bay, lot of wreckage, evidently from a
cattle-ship. The Thanemore was an iron
screw steamship of 1882 tons gross.
Inc snip Giennnart salied from GreenocR
August I'd for San Francisco, and is
thought to have foundered. She was spoken
on September 9th, fifty-six days alters she
left port, in latitude 40 south. She was
1901 tons and was launched in July, 1876
The missing Edmund is British brig.

under command of Captain w. Williams.
She sailed from Maryport on October 9th for
st. Johns, Newfoundland. She is a wooden
vessel of 202 tons and was built in Decem-
ber 1876. The five vessels represent over
$1,000, 600 capital. at an exceedingly low esti-
mate, and have aboard them in all over 100
men

RECIPROCITY ASSURED.
Sir Charles Upper Talks of the Trade Inter

Sir Charles Upper Talks Of the Trade Inter
ests Of Canada and the United States.
OTTAWA, March 12.-Sir Charles Tupper
said in an interview to-day: II am very
sanguine that reciprocal trade arrangements
on broad and liberal basis between Can
ada and the United States will be very soon
made, embracing all articles, whether the
product of the forest or OF the farm, as can
be arranged to the mutual advantage of
both countries. Ny confidence in that re-
suit arises from the fact that Mr.. Blaine
was known 10 be strongly opposed to the
Mckinley Tariff Act, and he has sought TO
relieve tLat measure Of the natural conse-
Quences which must flow from It, by pro-
posals for reciprocal arrangements with
other countries. So far from refusing to
make anything but treaties of unrestricted
reciprocity, the treaty be has made with
Brazil simply embraces the articles that both
countries agreed could be exchanged to the
mutual benefit OF each, either free or at a
reduced duty, leaving many other articles at
the existing rates of duty. The treaty that
Mr.. Blaine has made with Newfoundland is
precisely Of the same character, and en-
braces the same principles, exactly as would
be included in the treaty that Canada would
be prepared to make win the United States.
"Ar. Blaine is undoubtedly a very emf
nent and able statesman, and following, no
doubt, discussion OF the issues between
the TWO parties in this country, has learned
that tie statement that the Liberal Con-
seryative Government and party are uu-
friendly to the United States IS the very
rtVerse Of the truth. Mr.. Blaine, finding
how entirely lie has been misled as to the
real position of the two parties in this coun-
try, Will | have no doubt be prepared TO
give the most friendly consideration to the
wishes of the Government of Canada to
have freer and more friendly trade relations
between the Dominion and the United
States. | shall be greatly surprised if Mr..
Blaine does not crown his best efforts as a
public man by accomplishing a settlement
of all the questions Of friction between the
United States and Canada on terms that

Temporarily Tided Over.
PARIS, March 11-The Socete des De-
pots de Complies Courants is in a critical po-
sitiOn. The societe, or bank, suffered
acutely during the recent financial crisis in
London and BuenOs AyIes. and it has only
100000 francs on hand with which to meet
claims amounting to CO, 100000 france. After
a consultation it was decided to ask the
Government for assistance. Consequently
NJ. Donon, Managing Director, called upon
NJ. Rouvier, Minister of Finance, and asked
n. RouYier TO advance the sOciete 100000
francs. After making inquiries NJ. Rouvier
asked the Bank OF France to come TO the as
sistance of the societe. The Bank of France
Directors, after deliberatOn. refused to
grant any assistance. Rouvier then con-
Vened a meeting of the Directors OF the
leading financial houses of Paris. The
meeting was twice in session yesterday in
an endeavor TO bring about an arrangement
similar 10 that in the case OF the Barring
Brothers of London, which saved that hause
from utter collapse. They faiiod TO ccme
to an understanding at the first meeting.
As q result Of the second IN m"eting The
Bank Of France has agreed to advance :he
money required to tide over the difficulties
Of the societe.
Following is the basis of the iettlement
decided upon: The Bank of F-ance adj
Fances 6O,OCO,C00i to the societe. Which sum
is guaranteed by bills Of the societe, and the
sOciete calls for 375f per share fl ON its
shareholders and financial houses TO jointly
guarantee the sum of 1900, ,CO0f to the
Bank Of France. The assets of the societe
will be assigned for the payment of ad-
vances. 1t is understood the liabilities of
the sOciete arc under $4,000, ,000f
1t is stated in financial circles that the
first reports Of the societe being in difficult
ties were promoted by bear operations on
the Bourse, and that when the rumors were
first circulated the position of tile bank
financially was sound. At 1915 o'clock in
the afternoon the societe was meeting all
the demands made upon it by the run which
set in when the alarming rumors became
freely circulated.
