Father Craft Corrects a Number
of False Reports.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-THE following
message from Father Craft was received
to-day by Austin E. Ford:
Pine Ridge, S. DIAN. 15.-My wound
feels considerably better, and [ may re-
cover. Am very hopeful. authorize
YOU to contradict for me in my name,
through the press, the reports in cir
culation that blame the army for
the sad tragedy at Wounded Knee
creek. Those reports do grave lnJus-
tice to our soldiers, and are instigated
by those averse to an honorable settle
ment to the present trouble, and hostile
to the decree of every true friend of the
Indian. that they be permanently trans
ferred from the charge of the Indian
bureau to the war department. 1t is
only by such transfer that the In
dians can expect just treatment. The
whole trouble originated through inter-
ested whites, who had gone about most
industriousiy and miSrepresented the
army and its movements upon all
the agencies. The Indians, were IN
consequence alarmed and suspicious.
They had been led to believe that the
true aim of the military was their ex-
termination. The troops acted with
the greatest kindness and prudence.
In the Wounded Knee fight the Indians
fired first. The troops fired only when
compelled to. l was between both, saw
all, and know from an absolute knowl-
edge of the whole affair whereof | say.
The Indians state the case just do. |
have every proof at hand, and when
able will forward full statement and
documentary evidence.

The Identity of Padlewski Not Yet
Established.
MADRID, Jan. 14.-Dispatehes re-
ceived to-day from Olot state that the
police are now beginning to belive that
the man held in custody there upon the
suspicion that he is Padlewski, is a nj
hfEst friend of PadleWski, who is trying
to hoax the police. The prisoner, how
ever, reaffirmS that he is Padlewski.
He, however, becomes excited and VI
vaei0us when Russian crueltieS upon
nihlliSts is mentioned. Several persons
have notified the police that they are
willing to swear to the fact that the
man in custody was in Ger0n, the cap
itaI of that province of Spain. on Nov.
Is, the day Gen. SeliverStotf was shot in
Paris.
PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE Figaro to-day
announces that the anarchist arrested at
OlOt, in Spain, is not Padlewski, the
alleged murderer of Gen. SeliverSkoff,
but an AlSatian named Helm, formerly
on the editorial staff of the Temps, OF
this city. Helm, according to the FL
garo. has been insane since July. 1883,
the popularity of his monomania being
that he imagined himself TO be an i'm
portant parsonage. The Temps denies
that the man arrested al Olot, Spain, is
Helm, the insane Alsatian journalist,
who was formerly employed on the edi-
torial staff OF the Temps. The paper
says he is now in Paris.
LONDON. Jan. 14.-The latest adyiceS
received from Olot are to the effect
that there is no doubt that the man ar
rested as the murderer OF Gen. Solver
Skoff is not PadleWski.

second delegation of hostile chiefs ar
rived from the camp. 1t comprised Two
Strike, Kickiug Bear, Lance High,
Hiwak and Eagle Pipe. They had big

that the hostIIes would have their

west side of White Clay creek, lmme-

mile from the agency buildings. 1t was
also decided that the Indians were
to surrender their arms to their
respective chiefs, and that the arms
would be turned over to Agent Pierce.
The latter would receipt for them,
placing the name of each man upon his
gun. The weapons would then be

was pleased with the friendly DISPOSE

posed to allow them several days IN
which to redeem their promises. AS an
evidence of his good will, the general
has sent to the hostiles several thousand
pounds of flour and several hundred
pounds of coffee and sugar. The
general also considered with them
several of the important contracts
which the Indians claim have been
violated, and guaranteed that in future
those contracts would be complied with
to the letter. The chiefs, equally
pleased with the kindly treatment they
had received at the hands of the agent,
left Immediately for camp. Gen. Miles
demanded the surrender of the slayers
of Lieut.. Casey. and the chief promised
to accede to the demand. At midnight
everything is quiet in the hostile Indian

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Mr. Jones, of
Nevada, next addressed the senate in
support of MIR. Stewards amendment.
Senators might as we'll make up their
minds that the time was fast approach
ing when the question of the world
would be, "Wbat is the money of the
United States?" and when the effort of
the world would be to obtain some of
that money whereWith to pay the
United States for balances OF trade
which they would owe us. The halting
and hesitating monetary policy of this
government for some years past was
we'll expressed by the line of Emerson:
ST am the doubter and the doubt;'' to
which, in the words of the supplemental
line, he could hear the genius OF this
republic make answer: ''They reckon
ill who leave me out" And so they
did, Mr.. Jones thought. The United
States could not be ''left out'' of the
worlds estimate. If they were it would
be so much the worse for the countries
which American statesmen and finan-
ciers called "the world" Mr.. Jones
concluded as follows:
A Financial Enigma.
I believe it to be the privilege and the
destiny of this republic-the evangel of
human liberty-to solve the great prob
lem of perfect money the riddle which
the Sphynx of civilization is forever put
ting to the nations. AS in the case Of
the enigmas of old, the failure to solve
this enigma means to be destroyed. Its
solution Will be hailed with loud ac
claim wherever foot of man treadS,
wherever heart of man beats. 1t is my
conviction that When the science of
money comes to be thoroughly mas
tered, its true philosophy understood.
and the teachings of that science and
that philosophy practically applied over
the whole earth, more will have been
accomplished for mankind-more to pro-
mote Justice. to relieve pain, to assuage
grief, to soothe woe. to tighten care, to
brighten hope, and to bless and conse-
crate human life, than can be accom-
plisheI by any other discovery or de-
VeIopment of civilization.
The general debate having closed, Mr..
Aldrich offered a substitute for Mr..
Stewards amendment, which he after
wards withdrew. The debate continued
under the ten-minute rule. Mr.. Cor
man offered as an amendment the propo-
sitlon presented by Mr.. Stewart on the
18th inst, providing for the imposition
of coinage charge on foreign silver.
After debate Mr. German withdrew his
amendment for the present. Mr.. Sher-
man offered an amendment adding to
the words making treasury certificates
a legal tender the words except where
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract" He subsequently, withdrew
the amendment. Finally the discussion
on Mr.. Stewards amendment closed, and
the senate proceeded to vote on it. 1t
was agreed te-yeas az, nays 80, as fol-
lows:

That his message is simple, straight

I'll at there are thousand things over
which men are thinking and for which

That the fireside sorrows of the farm
