q statement.

Muscogee, |. T., Jan. 25.-The Creek

portions. Marshal Bennett has re-
ceived telegram from Bristow,I. T.,
announcing that 800 armed Creeks are
stationed two miles from there, pre-
pairing to attack the town, and plead
ing for protection. Marshal Bennett
and Agent Shoenfelt are swearing in
large numbers of deputies, whom they
are forwarding to the scene OF the
trouble. 1t is now feared they will
reach town too late. The mayor of
Bristow is instructed to swear in all
men necessary and arm them to pro-
tect the town. Soldiers are being
hurried from Fort Reno to the seat OF
trouble, but they will not reach Bris-
tow before tonight, as they will ar
rive at Henrietta first and 60 over
land Marshal Bennett will lead
posses to Bristow. The situation is
becoming more and more alarming.
Indian Agent Shoenfelt will ask for
more help, as one company of cavalry
cannot handle the situation, as the
Indians are dividing up in bands Of
100. New developments are expected
hourly. Indian Agent Shoenfelt has
wired the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs for another detachment Of
troops, Marshal Bennett left with six
deputies for Eufaula, where Crazy
Snake was seen yesterday, and will
attempt his capture. lie goes heavily
armed and a fierce battle is antici-
pated. The Snake band within three
miles of Bristow are reported as hav-
ing whipped two white men, Wires
have been sent out to all towns to
arm themselves against any emer-
gency until relief can follow. The
Dawes commission are afraid for their
party of appraisers, headed by Rep
resentative Hackbust, of Leaven-
worth, Kan, who are in Wetumpka
district. Nothing has been heard
from them for two days.
Gov. Dukes Makes u Statement.
Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 25.--Choc-
taw Gov. G. w. Dukes, who has been
in the city all week as an attorney
in the Towne murder case, left last
night for Muscogee to investigate the
reported Snake Indian uprising among
the Choctaws. He said Just before
his departure: 81 am going to Mus
cogee to personally view the situa-
ton do not believe the condition
in the Indian country is as bad as
stated, even among the Creeks, and
as for my people, while there may be
a few foolish enough to join the up
rising, as IA whole they are too law
abiding to do so. So far as we arc
concerned there will be no need to
call for government troops. There
can be no doubt, however. that the
Snakes are rising, as trouble has been
brewing among them for several

THE G A. I. ENcAMpMENr.


Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 2i.-Cart.
Armstrong, of the executive commit
tee of the national council of admins.
tration of the G. A. r., which has just
changed the national encampment
from Denver TO Cleveland, says:
1.-THE action was entirely in accord-
ance with the action of the last ma
tional encampment at Chicago. 1t
was then decided that the next ma
tional encampment at Denver should
be so placed If the Western Traffic
association would grant rate of one
cent mile. 1t has been customary
to have the committee from the city
selected give the assurances of this
rate by the middle of November, but
Denver asked till December II and
this extension was granted, but be-
fore that meeting the Western Pas
senger association took negative ac-
ton on the proposition of making a
rate of one cent mile general
through the association. The last en-
campment made it mandatory that a
rate of one cent a mile should be
granted from all roads, and Denver
could not comply with this. Cleve-
land and Pittsburg both presented
assurances in writing from the ASSOC
Citations that the rate would be
granted, and it was resolved into the
question as to which city made the
best proposition outside of rates.
Cleveland made the best and Won"

fought to the last. The final vote was

BUSINESS SATISFACTORY.


New York, Jan. 26.-Bradstreet's
says: Despite some irregularities in
reports from different sections and
industries, trade, as whole, is of sat
isfactory volume for this time of
year. Special activity has been noted
in some branches of the iron trade
and sentiment has been on the whole
helped by clearer view of the posi-
bilties contained in the recent war
talk" Speculation is limited in near
ly all lines of produce and in stocks,
and it is probable that clearings re-
turns at present give clearer idea OF
actual business than for three months
past. Prices show few important
changes, the cereals being slightly
higher, while hog products and cof-
fee are lower, with dairy products
weak. The general range of other
values is on the whole steady, al
though some shading in the higher
grades of wool has occurred.
A large export shipment of zinc
ore from Missouri is announced, the
quantity equaling $4,000 tons.
There is, apparently, less public
speculative interest in the grain mar
kets. Wheat is, however, slightly
higher and corn is stronger in SYM
patty. Talk of coming big deal in
May wheat at Chicago has revived
again.

Miss DorOthee Klumpke, a San

the central figure in a most remark
able love romance, writes a Paris
correspondent. She was wooed and
won while in the clouds. While she

The happy man is DR.. Isaac Rob-

He writes the letters Sc D., f. r.

He learned to admire her, not only
as an astronomer, but as a woman.
Gradually a courtship began in the
picturesque Paris observatory, where
Miss Klumpke holds a very impor-

ever the interests of science permit
