Troops Arrive at Pine Ridge Agency. The Expected Battle Ras Not Taken Place as Yet. The Presence of the Soldiers Has a Quiet ing Effect but the Ghost Dance Is Kept Up. Associated Press Dispatches. Chicago, Nov. 20. — General Miles this evening received a telegram from Rushville, informing him that General Brooke's command reached Pine Ridge at 7a. m. Indians are coming in in large numbers from Rosebud. There continues. General Miles also received a commun ication from an officer at a camp on Popular river, Montana, dated Novem ber 17th, containing matter of interest with reference to the Messiah craze. The officer reports that all the Indians in that vicinity are affected by the pre vailing craze, and even the more intelli gent half-breeds believe in it. A num ber of young Indians recently procured Winchester rifles, where, the officers could not ascertain. There has been no excitement up there yet, or any dances, but there is a deep and universal belief that there will be astonishing super natural manisfetations before very long. One of Sitting Bull's lieutenants (White Gut), with two other Sioux, have re cently been up there preaching the new doctrine, denouncing schools and telling the Indians to procure arms and am munition, and meet other Indians in the Black Hills country next spring. They were ordered oil' the reservation, and went to the woody mountains north of the British line, to proselyte the rem nants of the Ogallalas andUncapapas. One of the loyal Indians told this officer that in case the Sioux should open hos tilities many young warriors from that vicinity would likely go and join them. The Ogallalas and Uncapapas north of the British line are a bad lot, some of whom were in the Custer affair, and some of the older ones were concerned in the Minnesota massacre of 1862. The Gros Ventres Indians at Fort Belknap reservation are in a very turbulent state. liaised from the Dead. Ab an instance of the stories floating around, tlie officer tells of one current on the reservation, to the effect that several young warriors started from there to visit Sitting Bull and learn about the new Messiah. One of the party, Yellowhawk, Haid he had been commanded in a dream to kill himself as a test of faith, with the promise that he should be raised from the dead. He committed suicide accordingly, and the party went on without him. When they reached Standing Rock, they found Yellowhawk there alive and well, hav ing been resurrected and taken to Standing Rock ahead of his companions. This is the story sent back by the f trav elers. General Miles expressed great satis faction this evening that General Brooke's troops reached the agency this morning befoie the Indians had inau gurated hostilities, and the further fact that the latter are not committing any violence. "Now," said he, "they have to attack us in our own position, or else break away from the reservation. The danger is now that the turbulent bucks may leave the reservation. The ap pearance of General Brooke"s command, however, will have tlie effect of sustain ing the authority of the government, and give protection to the loyal element among the Indians." Buffalo Bill stiiiVs a Reporter. Buffalo Bill, who is in the city, told an Associated Tress representative that General Miles has received information that a fight occurred this afternoon be tween General Brooke's troops and In dians, between Rushville and Pine Ridge. No particulars have been re ceived, and the casualties are unknown. He expressed the opinion that General Miles would, "if let alone by the govern ment," have settled the trouble expe ditiously. General Miles could not be seen to night, either at his headquarters or hotel. It was stated that he had gone out in company with Colonel Corbin, his assistant adjutant general. Later —General Miles was seen at mid night, and assured a reporter that he knew nothing whatever about a battle having occurred. 1 he Crazy Red Skins. Kansas City, Nov. 20.—A dispatch from Pino Ridge from James N. Finley, formerly of this city, now a post trader at Pine Ridge agency, was received here tonight. The dispatch mentions the ar rival of the troops and. continues as fol lows: "The Indians are actually crazy with religious fanaticism, and" excite ment at the ghost dances is of a most intense character. Add to their excite ment their utter recklessness of conse quences induced by blind fanaticism,and you may gain some idea of the situation. It is the general opinion among the troops that they will be ordered In a day or two to stop the Indians' ghost dances, then trouble will undoubtedly follow. Two or three of these dances are now in progress. A herder who has just reached here, reports that several hundred In dians have congregated secretly nine miles from this place. They are all heavily armed, and expecting the Rose bub Sioux to join them shortly. Continued Ghost Dances. Pierre, S. D., Nov. 20.—Captain Nor vil, special Indian agent stationed here, returned today from a trip up Red river, where he had gone on receipt of a report that the Indians, on account of the Messiah dance, were failing to at tend the distribution of rations, and were killing cattle. He reports that he found the Indians much excited, and keeping up their famous ghost dances with a zest and perseverance that ia alarming. He found Hump Rod, with about 300 braves of the Two Kettle band, all painted up and acting in a very sus picious manner. Cowboys who arrived here tonight stated that the Indians killed a number of cattle, and are act ing in a strange manner, and the famous Indian, Stepa-the-Cripple, had told them thay had better keep on their guard. Some of the chiefs told Norvil that several of the hostiles had urged them to go and join in the ghost dances, making threats if they did not enough force would be sent against them to kill them all. They claim to stand in great fear of the hostiles. All Quiet at Rosebud. Fort Niobrara, Neb., via Valentine, Nov. 20.—The troops front Niobrara reached Rosebud agency early this morn ing, and found all quiet and peaceful. The Messiah craze has not been as prev alent at the Rosebud agency, and most of those affected by it left several days ago for Pine Ridge to participate in the ghost dances. The presence of large numbers of Indians with a dozen wagons yesterday in Valentine, for the purpose of freighting agency goods to Rosebud, when they knew the troops were march ing to the agency, was assuring to the people that little trouble was to be ap prehended. It is also considered a good evidence that there will be no trouble at Pine Riuge, where, it is thought, most of the present row was caused by the new and inexperienced agent. More Troops to March. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 20.—Orders have been received at Fort Omaha to have the four remaining companies of the Second infantry ready to go to the front at a moment's notice. The companies im mediately began to pack up, and inside of two hours everything necessary in a winter campaign was ready and has been placed on board the cars. These companies, as far at least as the com manders are concerned, comprise some of tlie oldest Indian fighters in this sec tion of the country. General Brooke and his battalion reached Pine Ridge agenev early this morning. Two troops of cavalry that have been patrolling the north confines of the reservation all summer will join the command tomorrow. The Pine Ridge Indians are greatly excited, and continue danciDg. General Brooke is informed that bands of Indians are en route from Rosebud agency to join those at Pine Ridge. BEAT HIS RECORD. STAMBOUL REDUCES HIS RECORD TO 2:11 1-4. The Great Stallion Surprises Some of the Devotees of the Turf—Betting Was Against Him, fj to 1. *1 Stockton, Nov. 20.—Staniboul trotted against his record today on tlie fastest track in the state, and made a mile with out a skip in 2.11 , beating the stal lion's record made at Napa by one-quar ter of a second. Several watches, includ ing Goldsmith's, made the time 2:10%, but the three official agreed on 2:ll'a'. Stamboul came on the track at 2 o'clock, and seemed to be in his best form. Johnny Goldsmith, the driver, was confident of lowering his record, but the spectators bet against him. Pools sold sto 1 against breaking the record. Harry Whiting was se lected as a guide and runner, and after a little scoring, Staniboul got away ori a good start. The first quarter was made in 32 seconds, and a fast gait carried the horse to the half in 1:03>2 ; turning into the home stretch the great trotter seemed to slacken up, until he led out on the finish and came home with the driver's whip swishing in the air, and not touching the horse, going under the wire in 2:liy. When the time was announced, the spectators cheered for the horse and the driver. Stamboul will trot here again on Sat urday to beat his time made today. SALE OF HOHSKS.

The Concord's Trial Trip. New York, Nov. 20.—The cruiser Con cord on her trial trip made eighteen knots per hour, against a strong tidal current. She proved to be the fastest gun boat yet built for the navy, but despite her splendid speed, the Concord failed to develop the requisite34oo-horse power. The failure is due directly to trouble in the second hour oi the test, with the after feed pump, and the leak ing of the after boiler. Before the trial ended there were from two to three inches of water on the floor of the fire room. A rupture had occurred in the nipple of the side pipe leading to the after air pump. It is notable that not withstanding this trouble, she developed nearly 3200-horse power. The test will probably not be accepted as official. Gas and Hot Water. Sonoma, Cal., Nov. 20.—A natural gas and a hot water well has been discov ered two miles north of this city. The flow of gas measures 9000 feet every twenty-four hours. The well has now been bored to a depth of thirty-six feet, and the water is 110 degrees. FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1890. FALLEN FROM GRACE. A San Francisco Assembly man Gone Wrong.

PARIS, Nov. 20. —At the request of the Russian embassy no autopsy will be held on the body of General Seliver skotf. The government is acting ener getically against the nihilists in Paris. Le Matin says the police believe the killing was an act of private vengeance. Podlesky, the alleged murderer, was the lover of a girl who had been enticed by a woman, at the instance of SeliverskofT, into a bouse of ill-fame. This, it is claimed, was the motive for the crime. A Mason existed between the woman who induced the girl to visit the house and SeliverskofT. The nilhists here affirm that the gen eral was director of Russian police in France, and played an important part in the recent arrests of nihhsts in Paris. A newspaper recalls the fact that a servant of Seliverskoff, named Muller, was assassinated in Paris in 1808; that the murderer was never found. Since then the general had received a num ber pf letters threatening him with death. Eclair says the Nihilists' committee decided that if Sophia Gunsberg, ar rested at St. Petersburg for having bombs, was sentenced to death, Seliver skoff should be killed. The woman was sentenced to be hanged Monday. The shooting of the general was ordered the day after. A person resembling Padlesky crossed the Belgian frontier Tuesday night.

The Frankfort Courier says of Dr. Koch's remedy: By the injection of the lymph the tuberculosis germ is killed. At tne same time the injected particles retain sufficient strength to detach and expel the dead germs, together with the dead tissue. A reparative process en sues, and healing follows. Bis; Tree Lands. Washington, Nov. 20.—Special Agent Cauldwell, located at the Visalia land office, has filed a report describing the sections in California where the mam moth trees are found. The Kaweah Co-operative Colony company, the agent says, is making squatter claims on a section of country covered by a large and perfect body of trees, and have lo cated a saw mill there.

So Long as His Colleagues and the Irish People Stand by Him He 'Will Not De sert His Post. London, Nov. 20. —Parneli has Dent to several of his colleagues a communica tion to the effect that as long as he is supported by his colleagues and the Irish people, he will remain at the helm in politics. He says he iias never sought either office or reward of any kind from any English party, and he does not seek their assistance now. The Irish people, not English politicians, must decide the question ofj the leader ship of the Nationalist party. At the present critical juncture he would be false to his duty to Ireland if he should desert his position because of private matters, with which politics has no con cern. When his mission is accomplished, and justice has been won for Ireland after her long struggle against over whelming odds, the people may choose whom they will to conduct their local affairs. Dublin, Nov. 20.—The statement is made in Nationalist circles here that Parnell will resign his seat in parliament at the end of the session ana ofl'er him self for re-election. At a great National meeting today the lord mayor made the opening address. He said the only crime Ireland would take notice of, was one Parnell was in capable of committing, namely treason to his command. Justin McCarthy, in moving a vote of confidence in Parnell, said he did not ignore the serious nature of the question, but was sure it would not cost them a single friend. Timothy Healy in seconding Mc- Carthy's motion, said for Irishmen, Par nell was less a man than an institition. McCarthy's resolution carried amid great enthusiasm. London, Nov. 20. — Gladstone tele graphs that it is not true that he has conveyed an intimation to Parnell aB to tlie course he should pursue. Nashville Kaces.

Rival Authorities Coining to An Understanding. The Vexed Question of Building Sites Finally Settled. Mrs. Potter Palmer Elected President of the Ladies' Board of Managers. Other Proceedings. Associated Press Dispatches. Chicago, Nov. 20.—The board of lady managers of the world's fair this morn ing reassembled and elected Mrs. Potter Palmer as president, Mrs. General John A. Logan having declined the nomina tion in favor of Mrs. Palmer. When the national commission re sumed its session this morning, the trouble between the executive and for eign committees was settled, by the adoption of a resolution setting forth that no disrespect to the foreign com mittee was intended, but simply an in timation as to the state of the funds available, that strict economy was nec essary in all the committees. The auditing committee reported the expense of the commission to date to be $51,000. The report of the committee on build ings and grounds was then taken up. This is one of the bombs which was expected to explode with great violence, as it embraced what proportion of the fair should be placed on the lake front. It recom mended that the fine arts and decorative art buildings, music hall, electrical dis play, water palace and steel tower, with other germaine exhibits, be placed on the lake front, with the main depart ment buildings, government and state exhibits in Jackson park, and the over flow in the Midway Plaisance and Wash ington park. Commissioner De Young of California, who introduced a resolution several days ago rescinding the acceptance of the sites, announced that he had not called it up because he and all the others were now satisfied with the man ner in which the buildings had been allotted. With all the buildings grouped together he did not care which of the side affairs were put on the lake front. He moved to strike out the words "dec orative art buildings," and leave it sim GENUINE BARGAINS!' WHENEVER we call your attention to that magic word "BARGAIN," you can depend upon it, that we have something worth while speaking of. We have just received a large invoice of Suits in Sack ami Frock styles, also Overcoats, which we have marked at $10. We bought these goods under prices and sell accordingly. The regular price would be 40 per cent more. Come in and see them. Also, -)i SUITS! •(- For $15 we are offering some exceptional good bargains in Sack and Frock Suits. We never allow an opportunity pass to buy good goods cheap. These $15 Suits are a special invoice just received, and being late in the season, we bought them at our own price.

FIVE CENTS. ply the art buildings, that the meaning might be clear. Dr. Mercer, of Wyoming, strongly ob jected to anything but the art gallery going on the Lakej front. He also pro tested against the double site submitted by thirteen associations. Sew'ell, of Maryland, Jones, of Wis consin, and other commissioners, in cluding President Palmer, spoke in favor of the report. De Young's and Mercer's amendments were voted down, and the report of the committee adopted, finally settling the vexatious site question. A committee of eighteen, representing the live stock interests of America, appointed for the purpose of securing a fair representation at the world's fair, met here today. It decided that the awards on all live stock exhibits be uni form, consisting of first, second, third and fourth cash prizes, a reserved num ber prize and a commended prize. The commissioners will be asked to provide stalls for horses 12 by 12, for cattle, 10 by 10 and for hogs 8 by 12. Two hundred acres of ground is to be asked for the live stock exhibit. The amount to be given in prizes will be settled later. Commissioner St. Clair opened up the serious question of the relative jurisdic tion of the national commission and the local directory. He offered a resolution accusing the "directory of delay in pre senting plans and failure to rt-cognize properly the director-general. The reso lution asked the chairmen of the. stand ing committees to report on the situa tion. A discussion arose over the pre amble which criticised the action of the local directorate. It was pointed out in the discussion that an appeal as to the clash between the two bodies could only be taken to congress, which would mean fatal delay to the fair. A number of amendments were offered to the resolu tion, and finally the whole matter of jurisdiction was referred to a committee of six—St. Clair, De Young, Lindsay, Massey, Walker and Martindale. The committee will report a plan of pro cedure as soon as possible. After the adjournment of the commis sion Vice-President Bryan, of the local directory, expressed confidence that the committee would agree upon a settle ment soon. Several ladies were put in nomination for secretary at the afternoon session; Miss Cousins, of Tennessee, Miss Clark, of lowa, Miss Russell, of Nevada, Mrs. Allen, of Oregon, and Miss Phoebe Cous ins, of St. Louis. The fourth ballet set tled the contest in favor of Miss Cousins. Airship Stock Subscribed. Springfield, 111., Nov. 20.—The final report of the commissioners to open books for subscription to the capital stock of the Mount Carmel Aeronautic Navigation company, was filed today in the office of the secretary of state. Twenty million dollars is the capital stock, and it is fully subscribed. The company proposes to construct and op erate air vessels to transport passengers and freight.
