WISE PRECAUTIONARY METHODS. l__w ' Settlers Badly Frightened by Roving Sioux— Rumors of an Outbreak in South Dakota Pronounced ■JB| Groundless The Ghost Dances at Sitting Bull's Camp Stopped. Reported Fight Between a Band of Indians and Mexican Troops. fjitilal to The Morning Call. •;'» Washington, Nov. 22.— The War De partment has authorized the number of In dian scouts in the division of Dakota to be increased by 500 men. They will be se lected from the Indian rolice and other dis ciplined. Indians. Major-General Schofield this afternoon said every hour that passed without an outbreak brightened the pros pects cf a peaceful settlement of the pend ing disturbance. Secretaries Proctor nnd Noble were in consultation this afternoon with the President, who manifested much interest in the subject, and decided that two regiments of cavalry be sent to Pine Ridge from Arizona and New Mexico. Dispatches from General Miles state that the separa tion of friendly and turbulent Indians is proceeding rapidly at Piue Ridge. General Brooke anticipates uo immediate trouble, and thinks the separation will make an easier task of restraining the turbulent In dians from overt acts. Telegrams received confirm the reports that tne Messiah craze - is lapidly extending north and across the Canadian line under the operation of Sitting Bull's emissaries. vise precautions. A Washington taper yesterday quoted a 'prominent officer" at the War Department as saying that General Miles was trying to create a big Indian scare and glorify himself by suppressing the alleged "Indian hostili ties" in the Northwest, thereby setting up a little brnmlct for tlie Presidential nomina tion in 1898. This paragraph was telegraphed far and wide by Washington correspondents. An army officer said to a California Asso ciated Press correspondent to-day: "I have recently been to the Piue Ridge Agency and other agencies in Dakota where tho Messiah craze exists and I have little doubt that it Is, or certainly has been, tlie subject of very crave apprehension on the part of the au thorities. It is well known that the strength of these Indians among whom the craze pre vails is very great, there being altogether 64100 or 8000 warriors, and although they could probably be defeated by the troops. yet before then there would be tremendous damage done to the property of the country, without speaking of the loss of life. So much attention has been attracted to the .danger that the President telegraphed Gen eral Miles over his own name to take all necessary precautions. The experience which General Miles has had with these Indians has given him a thorough knowl edge of their character, and he was especi ally chosen on the Cheyenne commission on account of his peculiar fitness and knowl edge. From the time of the Custer mas sacre to the final surrender of all the Sioux he was the most prominent, aud several thousand Indians were killed, captured or forced to surrender themselves through his ' efforts. It seems singular that any army officer should make such a statement as thai General Miles is endeavoring to overrate this affair, or that bis wise methods, which ' have received tl.e sanction of the War De partment, and were directed by the Presi '. dent of the United States, should cause him to appear in a political rule. Such an infer ence can only be actuated by a cowardly - and envious spirit, which I am glad to say ' rarely exists in our army. It is strange that a man with the record of General ' Miles, both during and since the Civil War, should thus be attacked by an officer. That he should bd mentioned in the role of a Presidential candidate is nothing extra ordinary, as nearly all of our most noted ' soldiers — particularly Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock and Logan have been . brought forth by the people on account of their services and prominence." . ALARM OF SETTLERS. Minneapolis, Nov. 22.— The Tribune's .Aberdeen (S. Dak.) special reports indicate that the Indian scare is general all along the past side of the Missouri River, north of • Pierre to Mandan. The settlers are becom ing very much alarmed and Iteeing to towns, leaving most of their possessions behind them. At Gettysburg there seems to be the most excitement, aud Governor Mellette has .gone there to-night {with a large supply of - arms and ammunition, hoping to quiet the . alarm. Telegrams were received by him •' this afternoon from several points, asking assistance. Dispatches from the command ers of Forts Tate, and Supply say every thing is quiet. It is evident most of the alarm is groundless. FRIGHTENED BY ROVING Indians. A special to the Tribune fiom Mandan, X. Dab., says: Settlers have been coming . into Sims, forty miles west of here, all day, ' roving bands of Simix having scared them. More guns were shipped to-night. A dis patch from Fort Keogh states that the Twenty-second Infantry leaves Keogh Mon day morning lor Fort Lincoln, It is reported at Keogh that troops from Ellis ami Mis soula received similar orders to be ready for active work In North Dakota. The actions of the Indians satisfy everybody that grave danger exists of au outbreak In the spring, if not before. Parties in to-day from Mercer County report insolent behavior of Indiana. UNFOUNDED RUMORS. A Bismarck special to the Tribune says : The Indian scare in this section is subsid ing. A dispatch from Governor Mellette of South Dakota to officials in Bismarck says there is no foundation to the rumors of Indians crossing the river into Campbell County, aid all rumors of an outbreak in South Dakota are groundless. The danger now is believed to be at Pine Ridge and ether Southern agencies. STOPPED THE DANCES. A Standing lUck Agency (X. Dak.) special to the Tribune says: Major McLaughlin's visit to Silting Bit's camp had the ellect of ' stopping for a time at least the ghost dances. _ Laugh. in received a letter from Bull ye- . terday, who saj 8 he has taken his friend's advice and stopped the dances. Bull's child is very sick, or no would come to the agency to-day to di aw rations. It is reported here that Bull's followers are growing less be cause the Messiah has not appeared, and that discourages the chief. The agent thinks there is uo possibility of trouble here at present, and there may not be this winter or spring. lie Is working hard on the Indians with . corps of able assistants, and makes strong arguments against the craze, 'lhe people on the east side of the river are flee ing for their lives witb no one in pursuit. The excitement is all unwarranted. The report of a massacre forty miles south is be lieved to be unfounded. DEFIANT INDIANS. Omaha, Nov. 22.— A special to the Bee • from Pine Ridge Ageucy says: Two of the most reliable scouts in the Government em ploy reported to General Brooke last night that 150 lodges of Wounded Knee fanatics, including some of the most desperate and treacherous redskins in tins part of the country, have moved to White River, twenty miles north of here, and have again begun ■ the 1081 dance" in a wilder manner than has been known thus far. The scouts talked with several of the leaders, and all declared they would shoot any Government officials or soldiers who attempted to sup press the dauce. This is by far the most menacing new* that has come to General . Brooke since his arrival. All the Indians in ■ these 150 lodges are armed w ith Winchesters, -navy revolvers and knives, aud have large quantities of ammunition and provisions aud are receiving heavy re-enforcements hourly. General Brooke received a telegram THE SUNDAY CALL. from General Miles lest .night, giving liim power to call just as many more troops to tbis point as he deemed expedient Some, of the scouts and Indian police sent out Thursday to notify the non-dancing faction to move into the agency until tlie trouble is settled have returned. They re port the friendly Indians are willing to come in, and seme have already done so. It is believed all will be in by Sunday night. The dangerous work of bringing the dis turbers to time will begin Monday morning. General Brooke has received an intimation that the War Department will certainly in sist upon the suppression of the "ghost dance " nt all hazards. Both the commandant and the agent were greatly chagrined and nettled at learning last night that another lot of some 300 Rose bud warriors had put, in an appearance, as if they had arisen out of the earth, only twelve miles northeast of here, and were preparing to establish the "ghost dance." These all nave Winchesters and are loaded down with ammunition. A special to the Bee from I'ine Ridge Agency says Census Enumerator Lee, who arrived this* morning from a trip through the more distant portions of the reservation, is of the opinion that the ghost dances will re sult in trouble before many days. The set tlers on the borders of the reservation, lie says, are fleeing out General Brooke is non committal but evidently much troubled. Ho thinks the crisis not far away. Agent Hover received a communication from Little Wound, the high priest of dancers, in whicll the chief says he wants to know what the soldiers are coming tor. "The dance is a religious one," said lie, "and we are going to keep i*. up until spring. If wo find Christ does not appear we will stop, but not In the meantime, troops or no troops." He announced that he would start another dance at Medicine Boot Creek to-morrow morning, lie said lie had been informed the soldiers would slop their rations. He di n't care, he says, as what they get don't amount to anything, hut If such is the case he waits to know, soli's people wont have the trouble of going to the agency. He con cluded with an emphatic reiteration that they would not stop dancing. Dr. Rover has not yet replied. WARNED IIV THE SIOUX. Man-ban (X. Dak.), Nov. 22.— Sheriff Bur cenheinier this morning received a telegram from Sims, a town forty miles west, staling that the people were coming in from Muddy ami Heart rivers, having been warned by the Sioux to look out for themselves. Tlie Sheriff shipped forty guns to Sims and He bron. Captain Hal'.oran, the commanding officer at tort Abraham Lincoln, maintains that there is no ground for alarm. INSTRUCTIONS TO AGENTS. Washington, Not. '-'i— Acting Indian Commissioner Belt has sent a circular to all the Indian agents, except ihe agents of tribes iv Dakota, iv regard to tile "ghost dance." He {says: "It is very important, in view of the tendency of such excitement, to obtain a general hold upon the Indians and that this ottice be kept advised as to the condition of affairs at each agency, with the view to the adoption of all proper precau tionary measures to prevent an outbreak of Indians and enforce obedience by them to all the regulations of this department Yon are therefore Instructed to keep this office fully posted, by letter or by telegraph, if the emergency should require." UNDER CONTROL. Acting Commissioner Belt has received the following telegram from Agent Dixon: "The Indians at Crow Creek and Lower Brule are under good control. We have had three leaders from other reservations under arrest at Crow Creek and discharged them under tbeir promise of good behavior. The Indian police is sufficient protection under the present indications. There are no Indi ans away from this reservation, so far as the police can ascertain." REPORT DENIED. San Antonio, Not. 22. General Stanley, commanding the Department of Texas, said to-day that lie had received no notifica tion from the War Department regarding troops for the Indian couutry, as reported last night. He also said he thought there was no danger of an uprising. CANADIAN INDIANS. Ottawa, >ov. 22.— An Indian rising is not anticipated in the Canadian Northwest, although ugly rumors are afloat. The mounted police force of 1000 men is capable of quelling any revolt. A patrol is being maintained along the boundary. A EIGHT IN MEXICO. San Antonio (Tex.), Nor. 22.— A gentle man who arrived here to-day from Chihua hua, Mex., states that a band of the Serfs tribe of Indians of Sonora recently attacked a detachment of troops stationed ou the frontier, and in the battle that ensued sev eral Mexican soldiers and four Indians were killed. He states that the Soris savages are cannibals. KOCH'S IUVAL. A New Ycrk Physician Cliims to Have Used lymph fir Yer.rs. New Yohk, Nov. 22.— Dr. Lestci Miller, a cousin of senator Warren Mi. ler, claims to have discovered a lymph for the cure ot consumption several years ago. He says: " The only reason my discovery lias not be come generally known is because I did not have the funds to push it, but I have contin ued to use it on all my consumptive pa tients. In preparing my virus, the system differs somewhat from that employed by Koch. My method, in brief, is to take virus from an animal affected with genuine tuber culosis, and by a special cultivation, the details of which Ido not care to disclose now, I prepared it something alter the manlier in wiiich the vaccina used to prevent smallpox is prepared. 1 in troduce the virus into a consumptive with a hypodermic syringe, and Its effect is the same as that which Koch claims for his lymph, which is to kill the microbes which have fastened themselves to the lungs. I do not claim to be able to effect an entire cure if the microbes have been allowed to mutilate the lung, but until the disease has advanced to this stage I do claim to be able to effect au entire cure." • MI NEKS' DEMANDS. Sigh: Hours a Day and Without a Reduction in Wa?es Minneapolis, Nov. 22.— A Butte (Mont.) special to the Tribune says: The Minors' Union has demanded a reduction of work to eight hours a day, with uo reduction in wages.

Nov. 22.— The following is published*: Jay Gould is again the master spirit in Wall street, cent events in the great speculative centers have revealed his unmistakable presence and Influence. The great financial depression brought the values of corporate securities down to a very low level. Gould believes great profits can be made in purchasing securities at existing prices, and his belief and Ins restored health are causes for his return to Wall street. From reliable information it is learned that Gould within one week expended $10,000,000 in the purchase of stocks. There is no tell inn to what length Gould will continue his purchases. Threatened Strike. Nashville, Nov. 22— Six thousand coal miners and nine-tenths of all the miners in Alabama will probably go on a strike. i.'-p --resematives from every mine in the State have beeu in session here the present week ; three days, and they demanded an increase , of wages, to date from December Ist The' demand lias been refused by all the mine owners, and a strike seems certain. Last July the miners signed a twelve months' contract. They now propose to break it. » An lis.r.- Delusion. New Yokk, .Nov. 22.— Caroline Taylor, who arrived frcm Seattle a few days ago, is still at Uellevue Hospital, suffering under tbe delusion that she is tinder somebody's hypnotic influence, She says she has not been troubled so much here as in the West by her tormi mors, and that only occasion ally her ghostly enemies aare molest her. • - A Prospective Excursion.

Experts Agree That Koch's Rem edy Is Uncertain. Fully a Year of Constant Treatment Neces sary to Establish Its Merits. A War Cloud Dispelled by the Prompt Action of the Triple Alliance — Kutno Railway Murder. Copyrighted, 1890, by the New York Associated Tress. Berlin, Xov. 22.— bestowal by Em peror William of the Grand Cross of the Order of the lied Eagle upon Professor Koch was gazetted to-night This is the first time this decoration has been bestowed upon any one who did not possess the preceding classes of the order. Though confidence in the ultimate value of Koch's discovery does not abate, public disappointment over the immediate results of the treatment grows daily. Professor Koch's assistants and others estimate that 17,000 cases have already beerutreated, the greater number of whom are suffering from exterior tuberculosis. Thero are comparatively f-<w cases of tubercles ou the lungs. Experts are beginning to concur In the opinion that the cure of this disease is un certain. Professor Koch blames the press for raising exaggerated hopes of instant benefit in every form of tuberculosis. Many physicians are expressing opinions. Some say the possibility of the cure of lupus alone has been proved, and it is not scientifically established that hi; us aiises from the same bacillus that is associated with lung tuber cles. Dr. Ullinnn, an eminent authority on bacteria, says it will take fully a year of frequent injections, besides treatment under the right sanitary conditions, to enable one to form reliable opinions as to the curability of consumption, either in advanced or early stages. The opinions expressed by others are varied, but nearly nil advise conservatism until further experiments make more posi tive the effect of the remedy. A crisis in the Eastern question has been ' sprung on the Triple Alliance by the sud den adhesion of the King of Greece to a project to foment openly and assist a rising in Crete simultaneously with risings in Eplrus and Macedonia. Chancellor yon Caprivi and Count Kalnoky sent a joint note to Athens warning the Government in the event of measures being taken tending toward War with Turkey that a Dreibund squadron would blockade the coasts of Greece and leave the Hellenic army to take isolated action on land agaiust the Turks. The decisive character of this stopped a blaze of war over Europe. Details received regarding the railway murder at Kutno show that when the train left Lomioz Station all the passengers save the murderers and their victims had quitted the compartment The murderers threw a quantity of insect powder in the eyes of their victims end dispatched one with a knife and the other with a bludgeon. Tbe bodies were thrown out of the carriage, and the murder ers sprang off the train as it was slowing up. KKSTLEaS SAMOANS. Ditsatiifitd With the Delay cf tha Govern ment. AriA (Samoa!, Nov. 7. Reports from sev eral of the outlying districts indicate that the natives are becoming impressed with the idea that the Chief Justice appointed by the three powers under the Berlin Treaty Is uot coming to Samoa, and they are applying to redeem their firearms, which were pledged to store-keepers after the war for food sup plies. The laws are strict against the sale of firearms or ammunition to the natives, yet the latter manage to secure both. Sev eral minor disturbances on the outlying islands have been reported. A public meet ing of the residents of Apia was held Octo ber 29tb, and resolutions were adopted ex piessing dissatisfaction at the delay of the powers in carrying out the proviso of the treaty and establishing a permanent govern ment in Samoa; also protesting again-! the further levying or collecting of duties or taxes until the establishment of such gov ernment, and requesting the Cohsulat>Board not to disburse or expend any further por tion of the public money without first con sulting the lax-payers as to the proposed expenditure and obtaining their consent thereto. The Consuls were also requested to communicate to their respective govern ments by cablegram the necessity of at once establishing an effective government on the islands. United States Consul Sewall was absent at the time, being at Savari with Henry Adams, the American historian, and La Purge, the New York artist. The Ger man and English Consuls, however, received the deputation and agreed to comply with the requests lontained in the resolutions. Since then word lias been received that the Chief Justice Is on his way here via England and the United States, and an easier feeling prevails. _. . _ A PEKILOUS JOURNEY. Account of the Travels of Prince Henry of Orleans and Party in Asia. PAitiS," Nov. 22.— letter to tho Tribune concerning the travels of Prince Henry of Orleans and M. l.'o.ivalol in Central Asia during the past year says: The travelers made their way to the vast plateaus of Thibet, across a thousand miles of desert, at an altitude varying from 18,000 to 19,000 feet, and reached the south shore of Lake Tcngii nor. a day's j urney on horseback from Lassa. Then they made eastward by anew route, and it was only at Tcliang-cha that they rejoined the route formerly followed by the French missionaries. "From Tcliang-cha," says Bonvalot, "we went to Bataug and by Li Tong to Ta Tsien Loo. Vve have traveled about 1800 miles in an unknown region, nearly half the way without a guide. VVe have • had a terrible winter, quicksilver; freezing, and we have been assailed by terrible storms, which took our breath away, which blinded us, and which made it still more trying to walk at so great au altitude. We lost sumo of our men and cattle and were in a con stant state of apprehension. The only com bustible we had was the droppings of wild yaks and no water. For two months we made our tea with ice which was generally mixed with sand and earth. Every one of our camels and horses died of fatigue, thirst and hunger. After long negotiations with the authorities of Lassa we obtained what horses aud yaks we re quired, and made eastward, keeping to the north from Lassa to Bat ang." Prince Henry showed himself a good traveler, enduring and courageous. . The ex plorers came out in Indo, China and made their way to Tonquin. GLADSTONE AND PARNELL. An Assertion That the Former Will Bs Forced to Abandon the Irish Leader. New York, Nov. 22.— In: discussing the crisis into which Parnell has precipitated tlie home-rule movement, the London corre spondent ot the Tribune says that if Par nell continues to lead the Irish party," the present alliance with the English home-rule party will go . to , pieces. v lie adds : that whether,'; if he could decide ; for himself, Gladstone would run un | with Parnell, Is a matter of conjecture.' But Gladstone knows well that tie cannot break with the majority of bis followers.' vile split his party in two four and a half years ago for home rule, and it will not stand being split again. - It comes to this, therefore, to far as one : can judge to-day, that if Parnell remains at the head of the Irish party, the Anglo-Irish coalition is at an end. Reciprocity Wanted. St. Johns (X. ¥.), Nov. 22.— Hon. Robert Bond, Colonial Secretary for Newfound land, sailed yesterday for Washington, to conclude, if possible, ' arrangements be tween the United States and Xewfound land, whereby the republic will admit New foundland fish free of duty, and the latter give . American fishermen liberty to pur chase bait in Newfoundland waters free of license charges. The Manchester Martyrs. Belfast, Nov. 22.— To-morrow will be the twenty-second anniversary of the exe cution of Allen, Gould and Larkin, the Manchester martyrs. Notwithstanding the fact that the Government has prohibited any demonstrations, an attempt was made to hold one here to-day. The police promptly suppressed the demonstration and arrested thirty persons. A Bent fit for McAuliffe. London, Nov. 22.— Richard K. Fox says that he has reason to believe that the case of McAuliffe and Slaviu will be dropped when the next trial occurs. Fox and Lord Lons dale are getting up a benefit for McAuliffe and his trainer, Madden, at the Pelican Club. McAuliffe will' spar with Charley Mitchell. ' - ♦ '_ Suicide of a Spy.

Fotnre of tbe Northern The Reorganiza tion of the Union System. New York, Nov. 22.— James Colgate, banker, Is thus quoted: "I think the Rocke fellers feel as I do, that the great railroad of this country is to be the Northern Pacific, and this is due to the prodigious wealth at the other end of it. If ever taken out of (he hands of speculative manipulators I don't see why it should not become the greatest railroad property in tho world." THE union PACIFIC. Boston, Nov. 22.— Hon. Frederick L. Ames was seen upon the reported reorgani zation of the Union Pacific system. lie ad mitted it was true that Adams was to re sign, and perhaps at the meeting to be held Wednesday in lioston. His successor had not been definitely mined. Adams will also resign from the directory, leaving two va cancies, which will be filled by the election of Gould and Russell Sage. Gould's interest is not strong enough to force a reorganiza tion, and it has not done so. The balance of power rested with Ames. The change came as the result of an amicable agreement between Adams Ames and Gould. New York, Nov. 22.— Dow & Jones' agen cy says: "On the authority of agentlcmanin a position to know, Gould bought 50,000 Richmond Terminal at private sale from lirice and Thomas. The latter have since I bought 50,000 for themselves and another 50,000 for Gould. We aro further told Gould's holdings of Union Pacific are very much less than the current report estimates them. TheVaiiderbilts have bought a large block of Union Pacific under 50." The last Evening Post says: Nothing further is learned with reference to the resignation of Adams, but it may be ac cepted as an authenticated fact that he in tended to resign, if he has not already re signed, and his resignation will be accepted. Gould said to a reporter of the Post that "Sage, Orr and Hydo will probably be among the new Directors. No ono is defi nitely thought of for Vice-President and" General Manager. A man for the place is beiug looked for." ;~.'*r_- ADVANCED FREIGHT RATES. - ", - Chicago, Nov. 22.— The freight depart ment of the Transcontinental Association has decided to advance all rates on Pacific Coast business, beginning December lst.

Special to TnE Mobxiso Call. ' New Tork, Nov. 22.— Mrs. Charles Coombs of Brooklyn, a daughter-in-law of Nelly, who was recently elected Congress man from the Third District, committed suicide in a horrible manner this afternoon. She went to the I'ierrepont Hotel and asked for a room on the top floor, saying she was troubled with palpitation of the heart aud wanted to be away: from all excitement. The manager conducted her to a room on the sixth . floor. . Soon after she sent for a bottle of wive and later rang for a chamber maid. When the latter entered the room the lady was standing with a wine glass in her hand. Without a word she dashed the wineglass to the floor and rushed to the , window and jumped out. She turned over and over and struck With terrific force on the roof of an extension, hounded off and landed on a large flower urn that was stand ing in front of the hotel and then rolled to the sidewalk. She was dead when picked up. Her mother is in a critical condition from the shock. \ The suicide had been married seven years and lately suffered from ill health and was undoubtedly temporarily demented. B__B COMMITTEE REPORTS. Important Measures Considered by the World's Feir National Commiuioi Chicago, Nov. 22.— The National Comis sion to-day adopted a number of committee reports, including that of the' Judiciary Committee opposing a redui tion of salaries. The report of the Executive Committee on the establishment of a bureau, and of the Tariff and Transportation Committee in re gard to apportionment, were referred to a special committee. W&f£ Another important action was the decis ion of the question whether or not money awards should be granted to exhibitors. Live-stock men were demanding substantial awards in cash, and threatening not to make an exhibit unless their demands were com plied with. Commissioner Russell of Ne vada introduced a resolution that the local directory be asked to appropriate £200,000 for live-stock premiums. Tins was carried, and immediately thereafter the report of the Joint Committee on Awards was introduced, providing that there shall be awards, to con sist of parchment certificates, accompanied by bronze medals, to be. granted upon spe cific points of excellence or advancement,: formulated by the Board of Judges or Ex aminers. In the opinion of the joint com mittee lt is eminently fitting that the Gov ernment should- furnish these certificates and medals, especially in the case of foreign exhibits, but there does not appear to be auy provision made therefor in the existing ap propriation of Congress. The report was laid over. Then a more complicated matter came up on the question, " What are the lady mana gers here lor?'' After some talk the Com missioners laid the matter on the table, and the ladies left to settle it to suit themselves. The Journal says this evening that tlie Local Board of Directors propose to take definite Issue with the National Commission on the question of jurisdiction, they not liking the special report made to the com mission yesterday. ft is learned to-night that the story is true. The Directors, acting under the opinion of eminent lawyers, have formulated a docu ment setting forth that the direction of the work, preparing the grounds and put ting up buildings are entirely within the control of the local Directors, nor has the commi.-sion any right to exercise any general or ether supervision over the construction of the buildings or the expenditure of money' connect i! therewith, except to requite the build ings to be constructed In accord ance with the plans adopted. The Directors hold that the capital of the corporation is not subject in an* manner to the control of the commission. It is further declared that win c Congress confers upon the commission the power of intercourse with exhibitors, etc., it does not perclude the Directors from establishing, at home or abroad, any ageucy for the purpose of pro moting the interests of the Exposition. A conference will be held with a commission committee Monday. CALIFOItMA RUBINS. One of the Frcmicent Features in the Eastern Markets. New Yokk, Nov. 22.— The Commercial Bulletin says; ward of filty car-loads of loose California raisins in bags have been sold in the Eastern market thus far this season. The total is greater than during any previous entire season, and the move ment may be classed as one of the promi nent features of the market at the present time. The persistent effort of tome local commission firm to encourage the handling of foods in this lorm, ny Eastern jobbers, has doubtless contributed in no mean de gree to the lavoinble results, but the suc cessful introduction of the carton 1-pound and 2-pound packages has played a con spicuous part. These packages have been gotten out in a »eat form and attractive ap pearance. The best fruit has been secured, und particular cure lias been taken by the most prominent packers that there shall not ,be the slightest shortage in weight. _ Already 'unmistakable evidence is given that carton is becoming popular with retailers in avoid ing waste incidental to weighing ordinary boxed Unit and effecting a saving of time in handling. - "-.--.■ SIBEIIIAN EXILES.

Yale Defeated in a Stubbornly Comes' • Game - of Foot-Ball. : .:«, y-V SritixGFiELD (Mass.), Nov. 22.— Tale and Harvard foot-ball teams met here this after noon. Twenty-five thousand people were en the ground, and there was much excite ment as to the outcome. Yale was slightly the favorite. At the end of the fust bail neither side had scored. Harvard scored 2 touchdowns and 2 goals in the second half, making the score Harvard 12, Yale 6, Yale securing 1 touchdown and 1 goal. Harvard won the game. The score was : Harvard 12, Yale U. Both teams played like clockwork and for the first half neither were able to score, though the Vales were the aggressors with a strong wind in their favor, In the second half the Harvards forced the fighting. The Yale men fought like fiends, but the crim sons' dogged defense.held them down. The Harvard boys marched through the streets rejoicing, and red fire blazed from tlie top of the grand stand at the very Instant time was called. Forthe last few weeks the Harvard team has played a strong, steady game, and in many cases has run up large scores. The men constitute the strongest team ever seen at Cambridge, simply from the fact that no team was ever worked so hard. Every practico game has been fought as hard as the men . were capable of working. Captain Cumnock was criticizod by many when more than half the team ; was laid up by injuries, but the worK was just what was needed. The Yale men have worked this way for years, and, as a result have always beaten Harvard, even when Harvard possessed the better material. Xow that this is changed, the result nt Springfield to-day was differ ent from that in recent, years. The Yale eleven is wonderfully strong and Harvard's players have worked harder than they ever worked before. The train has been coached by George Adams for nearly three weeks, and nearly every afternoon Joe Sears, '89 captain and full-back of the 'Varsity two years ago, was to be seen upon the field. To Captain Ar thur Cumnock, however, the greatest praise is due, for to him the University owes the excellent condition of the team. BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS Failure of, a Great Car-Building Firm. BanK Suspensions. Chicago, Nov. 22.— The United States Rolling Stock Company has been placed in the hands of a receiver. The liabilities are S3,Blfi,ooo|nnd the assets $0,053,000. Attorney High of the company says that the failure was percipitated by slow collections and the depression in the money marker. The com pany is the largest builders of railway cars in the world, and has plants at Hegewisch, Ills.; Decatur, Ala.; Anniston, Ala., arid Urhatia, Ohio. The capital stock is $4,000, --000. 'Die assets consists of the plant at Hegewisch, worth $2,000,000 ; and the plants at the other places, which are mentioned as worth $1,500,000. The other assets are in Car Trust Bunds, worth $1,533,000; rolling stock leased to various railroads, worth $300,000; supplies and material in process of manufacture, $1,000,000, and accounts amounting to $300,000. It is understood the failure is due to the inability to collect $300,000 due from various roads for the rent of cars. The property is put into the hands of a friendly receiver that this sum may be realized on. The company employs . 2200 men . and its cash payments to employes and for material are $800,000 monthly. The stringency in the money market compelled the railroads which bought cars of the company to pay their bills in long-time paper instead of cash, and it has been extremely difficult to discount the paper. - Judge Blodgett of the Federal Court has appointed A. Hegewisch receiver. Hege wisch is the President. The Judge ordered the receiver to continue the works. New Yokk, Nov. 22. — Vice-President Boys of the United states Rolling-stock Company, made a statement to-night con firmatory of that made by the officials of the company iv Chicago to-day. Ho said auxiliary proceedings will be had in all the States where the company has property. All the creditors are satisfied with the ar rangement for a receiver, which is to enable the company to tide over the critical point. A London committee advised it and this feeling lias been fully reciprocated by the B. ard of Directors in New. York. Chicago, Nov. 22.— The private bank of W. _ Pretty man, on the North Side, closed it' doors this morning. Prettyman could not be found, so no statement' of the assets and liabilities is obtainable. .Many poor people's hard-earned savings are involved. Lyons Hros., dealers in crockery, baresls, --000 on deposit. This is believed to be the largest single loss. - This afternoon an assienment was made to the cashier of the bank, Johnson, and at the same t ; me he was made assignee of the North Division Lumber Company, in which Pretty mau. was the heaviest stockholder Prettyman also assigned his real and per sonal estate. The assets and liabilities of tlie two ci.nci ms and Prettyman's estate will reach, it is believed, $1,000,000. As signee Johnson refuses to make auy state ment of assets and liabilities either of the bank or lumber company. He said the cause of assignment was the tight money market and Its bad effect on the lumber company. This concern and the hank were closely connected. One of the former de positors in the hank, however, who asserts a pretty pood knowledge of affairs, believes the liabilities of the bank will reach half a mi lion, and the assets are problematical, lie said I'l'ctij man lias been speculating heavily this year in real estate aud putting up houses for sale, and that the business has not proved profitable. A large number of depositors In the hank are poor people. Wichita (Kan.), Nov. 22.— lhe Commer cial Bank .of Newton was closed to-day after a rush by depositors. The capital 6iock is $75,000. No statement of affairs has been mude. The Bank ot Whitewater, which is a branch of the Newton and Okla homa banks, is also closed. Philadelphia, Nov. 22.— N0 statement has yet been made by Barker Bros, lt is uot likely one « ill lie made for several days. New York, Nov. 22.— The run on the Citizens' savings Bank is continued this morning. The bank officials say the run will he broken to-day. The payments al ready made aggregate nearly $.300,000. . Newark (N. J.), : Nov. 22.— The run on the lli.w.i d Savings Bank considerably abated this morning, and many depositors ate returning their money. London; Nov. 22.— Argentine finances are to be takeu in hand by tie strongest com mittee that can .be formed in London, and if the A igentiiie authorities co-operate it is believed to be perlectly p.

Paris. Nov. 22.— The Comptoir National d'Kscumpte has failed to float the South Brazilian Railway loan. Only one-third of the amount of the loan was subscribed. " • ■r Ihe S-ipp.y of Barley. Albany, Nov. 22.— The Evening Journal says: The reported visible supply of barley is a myth. There was no doubt at the com mencement of the barley season that over 1,000.000 bushels were brought forward on the books without verifying the amount. Then, again, two-thirds of the I barley on tbe| lak. and canals counted in the visible supply has been sold to arrive. - And again, - mure or less reported in the visible supply is now in malt. And, again, thousands of bushels in the elevators counted in tlie visi ble supply have been sold to maltsters and brewers and never will come on the market except in tne way of malt or beer. - - — -* - ■■■■■ _ N'W St ship Compai y.
