1t Will Depend On Whether the Indians
Get Their Money Promptly.

1t Will Depend On Whether the Indians
Get Their Money Promptly.
The War Department is taking advantage Of
the cessation of hostilites among the Indians
Of Dakota and has of late been gathering in
some authentic information relative TO the
probabilities Of another outbreak this spring
Careful researches and investigations have
been made by the officers of the army serving
agents at the Pine Ridge and Rosebud
agencies and their reports not altogether
reassuring. In substance these officers assert
that there need or need not be trouble. Just as
the government desires. An outbreak can be
prevented. or on the other hand very little
will fan the slumbering feelings of the abo-
rigines into fierce flame. That is to saw, the
whole case rests upon the care that will be ex-
ercised in the distribution Of the appropria-
tions.
DEFENDS on DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY.
II the Indians get promptly all that IS due
them, and there is not too much haggling
there will be peace. But the moment the gov
ernmeut attempts to pinch the Dakota tribes
the hitherto friendly Indians who do not feel
very compliment over the late trip to this city,
will surely revolt As these Indians are in the
majority in the two states of Dakota at present
such an outbreak might prove a hard one to
subdue. The attitude of the hostiles-rhat is.
those Indians whose reputation for fighting
leads folks to regard them AS almost certain
elements of warts largely mysterious. No
one can tell just how they feel after their easy
punishment of the past wi tier. They are al
ways ready to fight, tpS ether they would in
case the friendlies take h. initiative is q ques-
tion.
THE LEADERS WITH BUFFALO BILL
Most of their chiefs have been taken by
Cody for his European trip. and they are thus
short Of leaders. They realize perfectly well
that the chiefs are not held as hostages. but
have gone rs a matter of enterprise and 50
they would not necessarily be deferred from an
outbreak through fear Of retaliation on their
fellows. These chiefs, however are perhaps the
worst fighters of the nation, having been
selected by Cody for this feature of their make
up almost entirely. They are thus his best
cards. Among them is Lean Bear, who has
the reputation of being one of the most danger
Gus Indians in America as well one of the
most atrocious. His absence and that of his
fellows from the ranks Of the hoetiles would be
great gain to the government

Tour Of the Railroad Commissioners to Find
Where seed is Needed.

TOPEKA, KAN, March 24.-The railroad COM
missioners have made their first tour Of ex-
animation in the ten Kansas counties for which
money was appropriated to purchase seed grain
and have returned to this city. II is estimated
that 20. 600 bushels of spring wheat will supply
seed to those who stand in the most urgent
need. There were $40 applicants for aid to
Judge Humphrey at Hayes City. ia Elis county.
After an examination Judge Humphrey found
only twenty who were in actual need Of aid from
the state. Graham. Seward and Meade coun-
ties Vet remain 20 be visited. The commission
ers declare that the people are in much better
condition than they were reported to be. EN-
Governor Anthony stated that in the counties
which he visited the wheat had got into the
hands of money lenders. who were demanding
their pounds Of flesh. These men furnish the
farmers with seed wheat under contract which
obligates the farmers 10 give one-third Of the
Crop in payment

advance of 80 cents in the price.

accurate figures May wheat opened at from
1867. to l05sl against 1045s at the close yester-
day and sold at once TO log. Nav corn
opened at a wide range, but practically at 10
