In this manner their finances were

Whites and Indians Holding n Feast al
Armour, s. ID.

/ Armour, s. ID.
| ARMOUR, S. D., Nov. Sit is esti-
mated that fully 1000 Yankton Indians
are in the city. Their tepees are
pitched around the race track Just
south OF town. In fact they have liter
ally taken the place. 1t is a peaceful
conquest, however, they being here by
special invitation of the business men
| OF the city.
The object is to establish friendly
and lasting business relations with
the tribe, for their trade is now
most desirable. 1t is ''poor Lo"
no longer; instead, friendly chow"
and hearty hand shake awaits
them ON every side. The reason for
this is that in accordance with the terms
of the treaty concluded with the tribe
last December, their scouts have been
paid 1926 each, in all $l1, ,475, and the
first payment on their land of 500, 900
and $50 each for signing the treaty,
with interest, amounting to 500, 900,
will be paid during the month of No
vember. They have already made
large purchase of our business firms on
credit, and are now paying promptly as
agreed. To continue these friendly re-
iations it was deemed advisable to ban
quet the Indians. The invitations were
extended and the head chiefs accepted.
The formal presentation of the pro-
visions donated took place at the fair
grounds. A large procession of citizens
led by the Armor band joined the In
dams at the race track. Speeches were
made by Chiefs John Gassman, Medi-
cine Cow, Running Bull and Blue
Cloud, with w. T. Selwyn and Peter
Pecotte acting as interpreters. The
chiefs assured their white friends of
their good will "That they now
had plenty of cash in their hands
and knew the value of it. That
they hoped to get along pleasantly with
their white friends.'' These speeches
were responded to by w. E. Upton ON
behalf OF the citizens, welcoming the
Indians to the city and assuring them
that they would alway receive fair and
just treatment in Armour.
The Indians were then presented
with large quantities of tea, coffee,
sugar, -four, ETC., mutton, and seven
beeves, with the assurance of as much
more as might be needed.

LONDON, Nov. 8. "A representative
OF the Associated Press had an inter
view with Volkhowski, the nihilist

made by Stepniak. Volkhowski said:
II don't regard the personality of the

Il expect that some government Of

among the revolutionists will use their

Heirs of "a Rig south African Estate Some
where in the UniteA States.
PORTLAND. Or, Nov. Off the facts
bear cut the allegations, then several
persons in Portland, Oakland and San
Francisco are heirs to South African
estate of vast value. The estate in
question is that of William Mckay,
who Is known to have died possessed of
great wealth, his own appraisement
being, it is said, $15, 200, 600. Mckay
was Scotchman of an adventurous
turn OF mind, who lived ut the KIM
berly diamond fields, and who in dying
bequeathed his. fortune to his brothers
and sisters, eight in number, whose
progeny are scattered almost to the
four corners OF the earth. They are
well represented in the West and par
ticularly in Portland.
Neil Morrison, nephew of the de-
ceasedI residing at st. Johns, N. B., is
looking after the interest of the heirs
In this country. It was he who first
received word of the African million
aires death. 1t is said that the win
was first brought to Scotland BY John
Collins, one of the witnesses to the
document, who was searching for
Daniel Mckay, a brother of the de-
ceased, who had been named as execu-
tor. But Daniel Mckay had been dead
several years, and upon learning that
fact Collins placed the matter in the
hands OF his solicitor and came to this
country. He is now somewhere in
but just where the heirs
are not able to ascertain.
There are now living IL direct heirs,
each OF whom is to receive an equal
share of the estate.

SOME ENCOURAGEMENT
--
Bradstreet's Reports Some Improve
ment in Trade of the Country
For the Week.
CORN JUMPS UP 4 CENTS
A Slight RISE in Wheat. But Cotton
Goes L0Wer---Oct0ber Bank
Clearings.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Bradstreets
says: General trade continues on con-
servative lines, there being little far
reaching improvement in busin ess cir
cles as compared with week ago,
aside from the settlement of the strike
at Fall River, one of the effects of
which is expected to be the steadying
Of prices of cotton fabrics and an in
ducement to cloth printers to order for
future delivery. There is some encour-
agement drawn from firmer market
for cheaper grades of shoes, for drugs
at leading centers and for hogs ut
Western markets, due to decline In
receipts, and for fruits ON the arrival of
colder weather.
Another favorable report is that con-
corning October bank clearings, which
reflect the enlarged fall trade in a total
larger than for any month since June,
1898. The aggregate reported for Oc-
tober this year is "a, 228, 2S7, $50, an in
crease over September, 1894, of 81 per
cent, and over October last year of
more than 6.3 per cent.
An Advance in Corn.
Corn has advanced 4 cents, with
Western receipts about third and ex-
ports about an eighth of last years.
Yet pork and hogs are somewhat lower
with lard about the same. Wheat is
three-fourths of cent higher for spot
and l cent for December, and it looks
as II strength in corn had prevented
further decline, although Western re-
ceipts were only 4,587,6 $40 bushels for
the week against 6,503,171 last year.
and Atlantic exports increased to $685.
566 bushels against 740, sos last year
The irresistible force of course is the
enormous accumulation which contin-
ues, although producers may naturally
be inclined to
Not Sell Mt Currsns Prices.
Cotton is again lower, spot being 5.75,
with receipts so heavy that large crop
estimates are favored, though it makes
little difference in the real prospect
whether the yield is 800, 900 or /, 600, 900
bales greater than the worlds require
ment, with great stocks of old cotton in
sight. The depression Of cotton and
wheat, and the partial loss of the corn
CROP must be reckoned an important
cause OF hesitancy in the real distribu-
ton of products. In the iron industry
the chief activity is in structural work,
bridge and other plates, while the de-
mand for sheets is somewhat dimin-
lshed, bar and wire showing an i'm
provement, and nails are weaker.
