BELIEVE REPORTS EXAGGERATED.

The Intrusion of the Ute Indians into
Utah Simply Forestalls Legislative Ac-
tion.
Washington, December 1.-THE Score
tary of the Interior has received tele-
gram from Governor West of u tab, say
ing it is necessary the Southern Ctes,
now in Utah, be driven from the terri
tory, as there is likely to be trouble be-
tN cen them and the white settlers. He
asks for troops for this work, and said
if he did not secure them he would have
to take measures to protect the settlers.
This is the second request made by the
governor of Utah for'troops for the pur-
pose of expelllng the Utes from the terri
tory. The Secretary of the Interior is not
disposed to grant the request for troops
of the wan department., it is said, as he
does not believe matters are as serious
as the report sent by hGovernor
West. The last request was sent to the
War Department for the information or
the officials there, and is to be given to
General McCook, commanding the de-
partment of Colorado, for such action as
he may. deem proper. Reports from Agent
Day, of the Ute agency, Sat the Indian
Bureau here, contain exaouly contrary
information to that contained IN the
governors telegram. The last telegram
from Mr.. Day, received this morning,
says there is no fear of trouble. as the
Utes are acknowledgements well. In
terror Department officials say the Ute
question has been a matter of controver-
sy between the authorities Of Colorado
and Utah, and there isslegislation pen
ing in progress for their permanent re-
moyaI from Colorado to Utah, While it
is acknowledged that the.Ute at present
have no right to intrude ON southern
Utah domain, they have as much right
as the whitessettlers, as they, too, intrud-
ed, that country not having been open
to settlement since 1883.

Cent Over a Year Ago-A Summary of
| the Mercantile Outlook.
New York, December 7.-Bradstreets to-
| morrow will say: AT the larger eastern
| cities retail trade has assumed the
! charac teristics of the holiday season. The
demand from jobo, rs is mainly to fill out
| depleted stocks and activity is mainly
among retailers. An encouraging report
regarding the outlook is received from
Baltimore, but Boston, Buffalo. Pittsburg
and Philadelphia announce that trade Is
quiet with the volume for November less
than in 1893. Exceptional qniet is reported
at Buffalo, due in a large part to the close
OF lake navigation and more employees are
idle there than previously. At the South
there is seasonable activity in staple goods
with moderate improvement at Nashville.
Chattanooga, Savannah, Augusta and jack
sonville. Southern jobbers are paying as
much attention to collecting bills AS to sell,
ing goods. At Charleston. Memphis ana
Birmingham trade is quiet and unchanged.

though the demand for funds is small.
There has been moderate gain in the dis
tribution of groceries, spices and light hard
ware from Galveston. The sales OF dry
goods are dull. Among the central western
cities Cleveland and Cincinnati are ex-
ceptional in reporting moderate gains in
demand in few lines, and at the first

of staple merchandise from DetroiN and
Louisville is characterized as featureless.
AT Chicago the sales of clothing exceed
those in the like period of 1894. but the dis
tribution of shoes. rubber goods and hard
ware is smaller. st. Louis jobbers report
the heaviest demand from near by country
