HARVARD DEFEATS YALE. An Exciting Contest Between the Two Fa moai Foot-Ball Elevens. Springfield, Not. 22. The Harvard eleven defeated the Yale team here this afternoon, by a score of 12 to 6.

in one of the most brilliant games in the history of foot-ball. Both team- played like clockwork, and for the first half neither was able to score, though Yale was the aggressor throughout, with a strong wind in her favor. In the second half, when the teams changed sides. Harvard forced the fighting, winning her two touch-downs by Lee and Dean in the first part of it. The Yale men fought like fiends tho rest of the time, but tbe "crimsons' dogged defense held them down to one touch-down, scored by Mc-Clung.

This part of the game was by far the most brilliant of the day. The feature ox the game was the frequent punting by the backs, that of B. Tratl'ord being much more effective than the attempts of B. Morrison and McClung, and, indeed, a saving element of the Harvard defense. The loss of Mc Bride, who was every bit as good as Tratl'ord at punting in last year's game, was keenly felt by Yale to-day.

The crowd that gathered on Hampden Park was greater than that of Jast year, which was reckoned at from 15,000 to 20,000. The Yale and Harvard cheers were kept up without cessation from start to finish, and tho enthusiasm when Harvard scored her first touch-down was something unheard of. The Cambridge men hugged each other indiscriminately and men and women jumped and down upon the seats till the safety of tbe temporary was imperiled. Even the 125 policemen were embraced and their helmets smashed in the delirium of tho moment: and tbe whole performance was repeated when the second touch-down came, for then the victory was clinched. The Yale touch-down brought cheers, hut nothing like this.

The Harvard boys marched through the streets rejoicing and red fire blazed from the top of the grand-stand at the very instant time was called. The referee and umpire were Messrs. George and Irvine, of Princeton. The elevens were: Yale-Hartford, left end right: Wallis, left tackle right; lleflclttnjrer. left guard right; Lewis, center; Morison, riht guard left; Rhodes right tackle leit; Crosby, rltjht end left; Barbour, quarter; McClung; left half right; Williams, right half left; Moriaou, full back.

Harvard Hallo well, left end right; Newell, left, tackle right; P. Trafford, left guard right; Cranston, center; Finlay, right guard left; Upton, right tackle left; Cumnock, right end left; Iean, quarter; Corbett, lett half right; Lake, right hali left; B. Trafford, full back. FEATUKES OF THE GAME. Yale wins the toss, and lines up on the north end of the field for the kick-ofT.

The first noteworthy play is a long ran by B. Morison. B. Tra fiord makes a number of punts, and Yaie men use the wedge and fall on the ball in good order. The ball is first at Harvard's tive-yard line, then in Yale terirtory, and back again, keeping the interest at fever heat A punt by Trafford at the end of twenty-live minutes covers half the distance from the center to the Yale line, and the crimson is so close upon the full back (B.

Morison) that he can only, punt desperately, and the ball sails out of bounds. A Cambridge man drops upon it, and then it is taken out. Ccrbett, aided by pood blocking and interfering, gets around the end and gains ten yards, while the Harvard grand-stand shrieks. B. Mori ion punts, and the bine stockings fall on tbe ball.

There is a hard tight at tho crimsons twenty-five-yard line, bnt Harvard at last gets the ball and punts it far down the field. McClung now gets around the end for fifteen yards clear again, but the referee ays: "Foul pass," and Captain Rhodes in rotes l.11 the heathen deities. Some general punting follows. Trail ord punts again and Williams, who tries for a fair catch is foully tackled and down forty yards from the Harvard line. B.

Morison is allowed to try a place to kick Iroiu the field, but it falls shortand time is called. The ten minutes' intermission is a lively time, for neither sides' courage has beeu dashed, as Che score stands 0 toO, and tho singing and cheering goes on without abatement. The second half begins at 2:50, Williams being replaced -by Bliss. McClung and Tratlurd eichango punts, and then the Harvard men force the fight down into. Yale's territory.

Bliss, the new man, does' some good rushing. Finlay makes a brilliant run and touches tbe ball down for Harvard, but it if. disallowed on a fonL A struggle that is fierce, but not decisive, ends in an injury to Lake, who finds himself at the bottom of the scrimmage. Lee is put in his place and there is another criss-cross, resulting in a struggle. The ball is down near the Yale goal when the first great play occurs.

The ball belongs to Harvard, and it is passed to Lee, the new half back, who runs like a deer for forty 3 ards and scores the first touch-down of the game, from which Tratl'ord kicks a goal. It is now 4:21 p. and the score is 6 to 0 in favor of Harvard. It is a long time before the exuberant young men from Cambridge can be calmed. The agony is soon to be repeated, for at 4:20 Dean leaps over Lewis's right shoulder and falls upon Barbour as he is passing back the ball.

Dean regains his feet, catcbes it on the rebound a thing that is not likely to happen once in a thousand times and covers the twenty-five yards to the Yale line, closely pursued bv HartweJl. who gains, but just fails to reach him. Traiibrd kicks another goal, and the score stands 12 to 0. Then the Yale team seems inspired with a frenzy. It madly forces the crimson back to its twenty-five-yard line, bnt no further, do what it may.

The play is fast and furious, but the gathering darkness prevents most of the line points being appreciated. At last the Yale men, by a series of mad rushes aad resistless wedges, reach the Harvard line, and McClung is carried over with the ball, scoring Yale a first and only touch-down, from which B. Morison kicks a goal, making the score 12 to 6. Still the Yale men fight as for life, and there are fifteen minutes of agony. But the crimson stands steady, and when the blue comes too near a long pnnt by B.

Trafford, with the mhes promptly down on the man who takes it. sends a groan through Yale benches. The moon shines brightly, but little can now be made out save that Harvard, though all the time in the defensive, is not to be demoralized or routed. The end comes exactly at 5 o'clock, and the coloration follows. WABASH AGAIN DEFEATED.

Her Men Prove Entirely Too Ufht for Dt Pauw Score 34 to 3. Bj eclal to the IndianspoUs Journal. Ceawfordsville. Nov. 22.

The beautiful weather to-day brought out a iiue crowd at Crawfordsvillo to seethe championship foot-ball game between Wabash and DePauw. Of the spectators fully as many wore the yellow of DePauw as the scarlet of Wabash. Game began promptly at 2:20 o'clock, the teams Uning up as follows: JMFauic. rotiHoiu Wabash. Ouy Left end Adams Uouta Left tackle Prunk Moore Left guard Nicely Cbas 8mith Gtanford 1L O.

eraith Right guard lizili YisXlzt IUhi tackle. Jones Right end Erickson Ituffncr Quarter-back McCluer Minor Left half back McFaddln Miller half-back Randall Littleton Rack. Conwit ButTucr McFaddln Merrill MoorcsHras referee and Augustus Coburn empire. Wabash won the toss and chose the ball, giving DePauw the choice of goal, and Captain Kufiner chose to kick for the south goal, having the wind very slightly in his lavor but tbe sun against him. It was at once apparent that the DePanw rush line was too heavy for Wabash, and the ball was driven rapidly back to the goal line; where Itandall was forced over the line with the ball in his arms and thrown, scoring a safety, which cave DePauw two points.

Tho ball was brought out, but in six minutes Miller, of DePauw, had carried it over the Wabash line and scored four more points his college. Ihe try-at-goal was a failure, and Wa bash, by good kicking by Condit, took tbe ball within thirty yards is of the DePanw goal. A foul by DePanw gave Wabash five yards, and careless playing gave DePauw tbe ball. One of the DePanw backs had the misfortune to kick the ball right into Condit's hands for a fair catch, and he made a beautiful ki which gave Wabash a goal from the field, scoring five points. DePauw bad the ball on the kick-off, and her heavy rush line soon drove the ball down to the Wabash line, where tho inning" ended with the ball within a foot of the goal line, the score of tbe first inning being 6 to 5 in favor of DePauw.

TIIE SECOND HALF. Difficulty in clearing the field delayed the beginning of the second half, but at 10 Wabash kicked off without gaining an' inch. Eight after the rush line of DePauw had driven the men in scarlet back (tJthelt goal, where Minor scored a touch-down, from which he succeeded in kicking goal, adding six points to De-Panw's score. Wabash again kicked off, without gainingany thing by the advantage, and after a bitter struggle for ten minutes Miller, of DePauw, made his second touchdown, but failed goal on Minor's kick. In two minutes more, Guy Walker had scored a touch-in-goal.

from which a handsome punt-out enabled Minor to kick another goal. Wabash again had the kick-off, but her good kicking only served to delay the inevitable, and the ponderous Methodists pounded the stubborn but slight Presbyterians slowly back to the goal they were defending, and in less than fifteen minutes Minor hd scored three successive touchdowns, from none of which did. DePauw succeed in making a goal. The game ended with a score of 34 to 5 in favor of DePauw. There was at no.

time any chance for Wabash to win the game. The Wabash rush line is lighter than that or any college in the State, but it played with a pluck ana a courage that kept its opponents busy from the beginning to the end, and kept up an interest un-nsnal in a game so one-sided. Littleton, of DePauwretired from the field at the end of the first half, but his place was well filled by Orton. McCluer, of Wabash, hurt his knee in the latter part of the first half, and was forced to give way to Wynekoop, who. by no means filled his place.

The DePauw team played by odds the best game it has played this year. Its great lack has been discipline and its chiefest characteristic an apparent desire to turn the field into a debating society for the minute discussion, and argument of each point of play. The men need to learn to obey their captain and to have some respect for the field officers. More than anything else the players should, learn to keep their tempers and to play as a team. No team composed of eleven captains can ever win at foot-ball or any other game.

For Wabash, McFaddln, Kandall, Erick-son and Condit did tbe best playing. Mc-Faddin is a good runner and a fine dodger. Kandall and Erickson play their positions faultlessly. There is no surer punter in the State than Condit, who only lacks weight to make him the ideal full-back. For.

De Panw, Minor, Miller and tho two Walkers especially distinguished themselves. They and the center-rusher set the other players an example of tine playing and imperturbable good nature they could follow with profit to themselves aud credit to the college. PURDUE AN EASY VICTOR. The Team from the Illinois State University Defeated by 62 to O. Fpeclal to Ihe Indianapolis Journal.

Lafayette, Nov. 22. Tbe foot-ball flrame, this afternoon, between the Purdue University team and the Illinois University team, proved a very one-sided affair, the "Sucker" boys being out-played at every point. Tho Illinois team contains excellent material bnt the men lack experience and coaching. This afternoon's game consisted of two tliirty-mlnute halves, tbe score at the close standing: Purdue, (32; State Universitv, 0.

On account of tbe game with Butler University next Thursday Purdue saved several of her men, playing threo or four substitutes this afternoon. The Illinois boys are a very gentlemanly lot of young men and took-their defeat gracefully. Apparently they have devoted themselves to general athletics rather than to foot-ball.

BUTLER WINS AGAIN. The V. 31. C. A.

Foot-Ball Eleven Defeated In a One-Slded but Interesting Game. There were about two hundred people at the Y. M. C. A.

Park, yesterday afternoon, to witness a game of foot-ball between the Butler University and Y. M. C. A. elevens.

It was generally understood that the Y. M. C. A. would put into the field a very heavy rush line, and such speedy men as Buschmann, Berg, Cameron and Tariton for quarter, half and fnll backs.

With such a team, although inexperienced, thev would, no doubt, have given the champions a good game, but at the last moment tho much-depended-npon rush line failed to put in an appearance, and such material as could iKi gotten together was substituted. Mann captained the Butler team, while Tariton occupied the same position for the Y. M. C. A.

team. Tariton won the toss, taking the south goal and gjving Butler tbe ball. Butler gut away in good shape, blocking well, but was quickly downed. Drawing up the rush line, Butler, pursued its old tactics, and gave the signal for a rush, and continued these tactics until the ball was dangerously, near the Y. M.

C. A. goal, where, by a misplay, the ball was lost to the latter team, who, in the ensuing scrimmage, were forced to make a safety, scoring two points for Butler. From this on the playing was brisk on both sides, bnt the weight and skill of the Butler rush line was too much for the untrained opponents, and again the ball was forced down and across the Y. M.

C. A. goal line, making Butler's first touchdown, from which Meeker kicked goal. The training of the Butler eleven showed iUelf more and more, and one after another touch-down was made, from which goals were kicked each time. At the end of the first half tho score stood 20 to 0 in favor of Butler.

The Y. M. C. A. bad no signals, and depended entirely upon the kicking of Berg and the running or Cameron and Buschmann.

When play was called for the second half Buschmann hud retired on account of a sprained ankle. Meeker, of Butler, taking his place, and playing full-hack, with Berg coming in to half-back. The game was now ronch more exciting, as the Y. M. C.

A. team had forced the ball on Butler's ground, and at two different times were dangerously near Butler's goal line, where Jlerg tried a kick for goal from the field, "but was unsuccessful. Tbe tackliug of both teams was vicious and good. The second. half was almost entirely a running game, but the practice, training and ex- erience of the Butler team told in But-er's favor, and at tho end of the last half Butler had scored two touch-downs, from which Baker had kicked two goals.

The score of tbe game was SO to 0 in favor of Butler. William Pirtle Herod. Yale '86, refereed the game. The best work for Butler was done by Captain Mann, and bv Nichols, Hall. Davidson and Baker; for the Y.

M. C. A. the best work was done by Captain Tariton, aud by Beville, Berg, Cameron and Kurtz. IH THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER United States Rolling-stock Company Involved in Financial Trouble.

Liabilities Nearly Four Million Dollars-Its Assets Much Greater, but Not Immediately AvailableStatement of Officials. Private Bank Close3 Its Doors at Chicago, Owing Many Poor Depositors. Disappearance of W. L. Prettyrrian, the ManagerThe Suspension Followed by the Assignment of Lumber Company.

CAR-WORKS IN TROUBLE. Receiver Appointed for the United States Rolling-Stock CompanyCause of the Failure. Chicago, Nov. 22. The United States Rolling-stock Company, having a large plant at Hegewich, was last night placed in the hands of a receiver.

The liabilities are given at 83,810,000, and the assets at 50.053.000. The failure was precipitated by slow collections and depression in the money market. This company is one of the largest, if not the largest, builder of railway cars in the world, and has plants at Hegewich, Decatur and Anniston, and Urbana, O. The capital stock. of the company is $4,000,000.

of which is paid ud in cash, and there is $500,000 of stock not yet issued. The assets consists of shops, yards, real estate and machinery at Hegewich, which originally cost $1,400,000. and which are now claimed by reason of the advance in real-estate values to be worth at least its shops and works at Anniston, which cost its plant at Decatur, costing $500,000: its shops and works at Urbana, $180,000, and timber lands in Alabama worth $40,000. All these properties, it is claimed by the company, have greatly enhanced in value, the figures given being the original cost. Other assets of the company are: Car trust bonds, rolling stock leased to various railroad companies, supplies and material in process of manufacture, outstanding accounts, good and collectable, making the total assets $6,000,053.

The liabilities are: Six-per-cent. debentures, unsecured, $8:0.000: five-per-cent. debentures, secured by $1,000,000 car-trust bonds as collateral, six-per-cent, bonds, secured by first mortgage on real estate and tbe works at Hegewich. five-per-cent. consolidated bonds, secured by first mortgage on all the company's shops, yards and property, except the Hegewich plant, and by second mortgage on tbe Hegewich property, bills payable for material, supplies and current expenses maturing vritbin ninety days, bans: loans maturing within a short time, miscellaneous accounts, total liabilities, exoessof assets over liabilities, $2,237,000.

Attorney James L. High, who represents the company, in speaking of the affair today, said: "The company has in its employ at its various works 2.200 men. It has -been obliged to pay cash to the employes and for material to the extent of $000,000 monthly. The present stringency in the money market has compelled the railroad companies which have bought tbe cars of the rolling-stock, company to pay their bills in long-time paper instead of cash, and it has been extremely difficult to discount the paper. Mr.

Royes, in his bill, states that he fears that, unless a receiver is appointed, some creditors of the company may attach the property and thereby gain an unjust preference. There are abundant assets to pay all of the debts if a little time is allowed the company to collect its outstanding accounts." Judge Blodgett immediately, appointed A. Hegewich receiver. Hr. Hegewich is the present president of the company, and has been for nineteen years.

The Judge also ordered the receiver to continue the works, and not let any of the plants be shut down. Mr. Hegewich gave bond in tho sum of $500,000, with W. P. Rend as surety.

Vice-president Cyrus D. Royes made a hasty statement this afternoon, in which he said: "This company was not in competition with the Puliman company, as has been hinted. The whole trouble was this: We had to take seven, eight and nine months' paper, and we could not realize. We have 2,200 men on our pay-rolls, and their wages, added to the supplies, makes a total expenditure every month of $700,000. The president believed he could get along under a pressure, but there is a limit to everything, and yesterday we were compelled to ask for a receiver.

If to-day we had all that is -due us we would bo able not only to discount all our obligations, but would have more than $400,000 balance. This is not a case of insolvency in a popular sense, although it is in a legal one. We asked for a receiver in order that we might be able to tide over to that point where those who owe us will be able to fulfill obligations. Tho president was appointed receiver because he was familiar with tbe details of the company's work, and there is not a creditor who is not satisfied with the arrangement." Mr. Royes further said: "Auxiliary proceedings will be had in all the other Stales where the company has property.

The London committee, who represent the entire body of tbe shareholders, knowing the stringency in the money market, and apprehensive that we also might feel a money necessity, and that some creditor might unwisely make trouble by attachment, and so dissipate the properties because in the present condition of the market there are no buyers, and therefore all properties sold now would be, sacrificed advised the president to prepare himself, so that if there came such emergency which he hoped to avoid, he would have himself appointed receiver. This feeling of the Loudon committee has been fully reciprocated by the board of directors in New York, and the board has passed a resolution ratifying and confirming a receivership. The headquarters and main office of tho company is in New York, because it is a New York corporation. The company was organized in October, 1871, and has been in continuous operation. It has paid very large dividends, and sometimes very small ones, but the average dividend paid for the entire period of its existence has been 0 per cent This has been done beside adding materially to its real estate and terminal properties.

George B. McClellan was the first president." How the Failure is Viewed at New New York, Nov. 22. The announcement of the failure of the United States Rolling Stock Company came to Wall street first in a dispatch from Chicago, stating that a receiver bad been appointed. news did not reach the "tapes" until the stock market bad closed, but comment after that would indicate that its effect would be local.

A meeting of the directors was held in the afternoon to complete the transactions required by the situation. President Hegewich was absent in Chicago, but the other directors were present. A stockholder who was perfectly familiar with the affairs of tho company said: "There will be no change in the management, because the president has been made receiver. It is only a question of an excess of assets that are not easily marketed. The company owes littleand has much due it.

There has been no demand for car trust or equipment bonds or notes, and tbe company has no other collateral. It made its money from the building and loaning of rolling stock, but for years it has been under a cloud. I do not think that there are a thousand shares held in this country." The usual rule in issuing equipment bonds involves a cash payment of about 10 per cent. Better terms might be made with the Pennsylvania railroad or companies of about the same standing. After the cash payment the balance is divided into monthly installments based on the principal and interest.

The cash payments may be enough for companies that have a large working capital, bnt other companies have to depend on a speedy sale of the notes or securities issued by the railroad companies. Tho market for in come and car-trust bonds have been closed by the recent disturbances, and the failure of the company is understood to be due solely to th's cause. The suggestion that the Southern railroads were largely indebted to the company broaght out a reply from Gen. Samuel Tnomas, now chairman of the East Tennessee. Virginia Georgia.

Ho said: tAs the Amton works are on the line of our road we receive a good deal of business from them. I think the company may owe ns a few thousand dollars or we may owe the company a few thousand of equipment. i The differed jee in either case is very small." CHICAGO HANK CLOSED.

Many angry depositors gathered about the bank after the fact of the failure became known, but nobody could gain admittance. No one was inside but a policeman who stood guard. The hard-earned savings of many poor people are involved in tho downfall. The heaviest depositors are Lyons dealers in crockery, who have $15,000 in the bank. This afternoon an assignment was made in the county court to the cashier of the bank, Charles S.

Johnson. At the same time Johnson was made assignee of 'the North, Division Lumber Company, one of tbe largest lumber firms in the city, and in which Prettyman is the heaviest stockholder. Prettyman also assigned all his real and personal estate to Johnson. The assets and liabilities of the two concerns and Pretty man's estate will reach, it is believed, $1,000,000. This evening assignee Johnson consented to an interview, but he confined himself only to glittering generalities as to the cause of the collapse.

He said he did not know where Mr. Prettyman was. and in his absence preferred to say but little. Mr. Johnson added: "Tho cause of the assignment is the present tight money market, and its bad effect on the North Division Lumber Company.

This latter firm is a stock company in which Mr. Prettyman is a prominent stockholder. This concern and the bank have close busines relations, and the embarrasing condition of the former has had a bad influence over the latter. However, I have no doubt but what everything will turn out all right." Mr. Johnson would not give a list of tbe creditors, or the amount of the assets ana liabilities.

The deposits in the bank are said to be between $375,000 and $450,000. A gentleman in the employ of Ernest Stock, a real-estate man, with an office a few doors east of the bank, and a heavy depositor, said: "The bank did an enormous business, and their liabilities will easily reach $500,000, and perhaps more, and their assets, the Lord only knows are what. Prettyman has been a heavy building speculator, putting up a great many buildings on the North Side of the city for sale, and this scheme, I am informed, was not a profitable one. The depositors are mostly poor people and number into the hundreds." Edward Stopp, a butcher near by, has a deposit of $1,500 in the bank. He said: "I had a larger sum on deposit some time ago, but drew it out, as I considered the bank unsafe.

Mr. Johnson, the has invested $75,000 in the house-building "scheme. He came to me last spring and wanted me to go into his scheme, but I considered it risky and declined to go into it. He lost money, I believe." The "company" in the firm is Harney n. Bishop.

Prettyman has been considered a wealthy man, and has been in the lumber business for half a dozen years. The business grew very fast, and last year it was branched out into its present incorporated company. The lumber company's assets are between S250.000 and $275,000. A little over a year ago the bank was organized and it did much of thebugiuessof that part of the city embraced in the western half of the north division.

Pine Ridge Agency. Nov. 22. Two of the best, wisest and most reliable scouts in the government's employ reported to Gen. Brooke, at 9 o'clock last night, that 150 lodges of the Wounded Knee fanatics, including some of the most desperate and treacherous red-skins in this part of the country, had moved to White river, twenty miles north of here, and had again begun the ghost dance in a wilder manner than has been known thus far.

The scouts said they talked with several of the leaders, and the latter all declared that they and their associates had fully determined that they would shoot any government officials or soldiers who attempted to suppress the dance. This is considered by far the most sensational news that has come to General Brooke since his arrival. Upon no previous occasion during the present scare have any such threatening declarations been made by tbe dancers. All the Indians in these 150 lodges are armed with Winchesters, navy revolvers and knives, and they have large quantities of ammunition and provisions, and also are receiving heavy re-enforcements hourly. General Brooke received a telegram from General Miles last night, giving him power to call as many troops to this point as he deemed expedient.

Some few of the scouts and Indian police who were sent out Thursday to notify the non-dancing faction to move into the agency precincts, returned last night and reported that these Indians signified a perfect willingness to do as requested. A number immediately accompanied tbe scouts and police into the agency. It is expected that all of these friendly Indians can be gotten in by Sunday night. If this can be accomplished the more sensational and dangerous work of tbe crisis bringing the disturbers to time will begin Monday morning, which is issue General Brooke has received intimation that the War Department will certainly insist upon the suppression of the ghost dance at all hazards. Both tho commandant and agent were greatly chagrined and nettled at learning last night that another lot of some three hundred Rosebud warnors had put in anappearance, as if they had risen out of the earth, only twelve miles northeast of here, and were preparing to establish a ghost seance.

These all have Winchesters, are loaded down with ammunition. Expect a Fight in a Few Days. Pine Ridge Agency, S. Nov. 22.

Census enumerator Lee arrived here this morning from a trip through the more distant portions of the reservation. He says that not a doubt exists but the dances will precipitate a fight within a very few days. The settlers on the border of the reservation, he says, are flying out, and are fairly wild with terror. General Brooke was receiving scouts and giving orders nearly the entire night. He is verv non-committal, but it is plain that he is thoroughly worked up and much troubled over the crisis which he says is only a few days ahead.

Long Bull, one of the ghost dancers, has just shown himself at the camp, and is anxious to talk with General Brooke. He is tbe first of the fanatics who has had the boldness to enter tho agency, The General said he would hear what Long Bull had to say later in the day. Great numbers of friendly Indians are constantly arriving at the agency. Indian Agent Royer received the following sensational communication fromL (tie Wound, the hish priest of the ghost dancers, this morning: "Little Wound understands the soldiers are coming on the reservation. What are they coming for? We have done nothing.

Our dance is a religious dance, so we are going to dance until the spring. It we find then that Christ does not appear we will stop, but not in the meantime, troops or no troops. We shall start a dance on this creek (Medicine Root creek, fifty miles north of Pine Ridgo agency camp) in the morning. I have also understood that I was to be recognized as a chief no longer. All that I have to say is that neither you nor tbe white people, made me chief, and vou cannot throw me away as you please, but let me tell you.

Dr. Royer, that by them I will be recognized as long as I live. I have also been told that you intended to stop our rations and annuities. Vell, for my part, I don't care. The little rations we get don't amount to anything, but Dr.

Royer, if such is the case please send me word so that me and my people will be saved the trouble of going to the agency. We don't intend to stop danc ing THE DANGER PASSING. War Department Officials TJiink the Outlook for Peace Among the Indians Is Brighter. Washington, Nov. 22.

The War Department has authorized the number of Indian scouts in the division of Dakota to be increased by 500 men. They will be selected from among the Indian police and other disciplined Indians in the division. The law limits the number of Indian scouts to 1,000, and the result ot this order will be to place most of them at the seat of threatened trouble. Major-general Scbofield this afternoon said that every hour that passed without an outbreak brightened the prospects of a peaceful settlement of the pending disturbance. While no very definite idea could yet be formed of the extent of tbe disaffection among tbe Indians he had reason to believe that the majority would be found on the side ofllpeace and good order.

Secretaries Proctor and Noble were in consultation respecting the situation this afternoon with tbe President, who has manifested much interest in the subject, and it was decided that two regiments of cavalry should be sent at once to Pine Ridge from Arizona and New Mexico. Dispatches were received at the War Department this morning from General Miles to the effect that the separation of the friendly and the turbulent Indians is proceeding rapidly at Pine Ridge. Gen. Brooke, who is watching matters closely there, anticipates no immediate trouble, and thinks that the separation will make easier the task of restraining the turbulent Indians from overt acts. Telegrams have also been received confirmatory of the reports that the Messiah craze is rapidly extending in tbe north and across the Canadian line under the operation of Sitting Bull's emissaries.

SCAIIED SETTLERS. Unconfirmed Ramon Aoont the Doings of Indians Calls for Arras and Ammunition. Minneapolis, Not. 22. A dispatch from Mandan, N.

says: Settlers have been coming into Sims, forty miles west of here, all day. Roving bands of Sioux have scared them. More guns were shipped tonight on the late train. A dispatch received to-night from Fort-Kesgh states that Ketchum's Twenty-second Infantry leaves Keogh Monday morning for Fort Lincoln, equipped for active service in the field. This leaves five companies of infantry and two of cavalry here.

They are held for orders in North and South Dakota, and expect to be called out at a moment's notice. It is reported at Koogh that troops from Fort Ellis and. Fort Missoula have re ceived similar orders to be ready for active work in North Dakota. People here, in view of the movement of troops, put no confidence in the reports sent out by the military authorities from Forte l'ates. The action of Indians and the inside facts learned by observers amongthe Indiaus satisfy everybody here that grave danger exists of an outbreak in fhn spring, if not before.

Parties in to-day from Mercer county report insolent behavior of the Indians among the settlers sixty miles north of this point. The3 now steal "wood and make white women among the eettlers, in the absencebf their husbands, pump water for their Indian ponies, while months ago they were glad to beg it and'pump it themselves. A dispatch from Huron, S. says: While hero to-day. Governor Melletto received numerous telegrams of a sensational character respecting the crossing to the east side of tho Missouri river of a band of hostilo Indians, near Forest City.

Much excitement was reported at. that place, Gettysburg, Labeau, Lagrace and other points, and arms and ammunition are asked for by the None of tho rumors could be traced to an authentic 6ource. Governor Mellette will eee that arms in possession of the militia are in readiness, should they be needed. He went to the scene of the reported, trouble this afternoon to mako a personal investigation. Reports.

received at Aberdeen. S. indicate that the Indian scare js becoming quite general all along the east side of the Missouri river north, of Pierre to Man-dan. Settlers are. becoming very much alarmed and are fleeing; eastward, leaving, most of their possessions behind They are coming into the larger towns such as Mandan, Eureka, Pierre and Gettysburg, in large numbers.

At the latter point there seems to be the most excitement. A dispatch from Pierre. S. says: What action Governor Mellette will take regarding the. calls for help has not developed.

He has received calls for State militia companies tasbe sent to Gettysburg, near where several tettlers were said to have-, been' killed. A prty of gold-hunters who started for the Jackson company 'placer, mines, recently discovered, returned evening, stating that the settlers and civilized. Indians belonging to the. Two.Kettles band are seeking safety on account of tho reports reaching and many are on their way to Pierre. In Pierre all reports received are laughed at, none regarding tbe situation with the slightest fear.

A party of citizens start to-morrow for Forts Sully and Bennett to what orders the troops are under and what thero is really in the scare. Another dispatch from Pierre says: Two Indian missionaries of the Episcopal Church Messrs; Ashley and Garrett arrived in Pierre to-night the Pine Ridge agency. They were warned by the Indians that it would not be safe for them to remain there. They report that a great many of the families are leaving there as fast as they can get away. It is stated that there are now several hundred Indians on the lands recently ceded to the government, and those who are in a position to speak with authority say there is no danger whatever.

RED CLOUD'S POSITION. Ue Does Not Want War and Will Endeavor to Stop the Ghost Dances. Pine Ridge Agency, '8. Nor. 22.

Chief Red Cloud makes the following statement regarding the Indian situation: "I see some of my friends here this morning and want to tell them all something. I have some more friends in Washington. The great father's friends are all my friends. We are all friends of the agent, and we are friendly with the soldiers. I have been working under the direction of rhc great father at Washington for.

twenty years. I have been to Washington ten times to see my great father. We asked for churches and schools on these creeks about the and we got them. My people have built houses about these churches and schools, and some of the places look like villages. 1 tell my people to take care of their stock and increase it, and they are doing it.

I have got over two hu head. Major Burke and Buffalo Bill take my people among the whites and they travel and learn some I get letters from them, and they bring me good news for they tell me they are well taken care of. Then I send my children to the big schools in the East where they learn, something. Several years ago the troops came down upon the reservation. They took our horses and burned our lodges.

That did not make me angry, for they were much frightened and I let them take the horses. Tho reason I tell yon this is because I see the troops here again. I don't want to fight and I don't want my people to fight. We have lots of old women and Iota of old men. We've got no guns and we can't fight, for we have nothing to eat.

andware liable to die any time. On this reservation I am the head man and they all look to me. I have not been to see the dancing. My eyes are sore and can't see very well, bnt when they get well I will go to see it. "1-will try to stop it.

Those Indians are fools. -( The winter weather will stop it, I think. Anyway it will be all over by spring. I don't think there will be any trouble. They say that I have been in the dance.

That is not right. I have never seen it When we made our treaty it was promised there should be no on the reservation unless it was at the order of the great father. They are here, though, and I suppose it is ail right. My name is Red Cloud. That Li all 1 have to say about this question." The Indian's talk was accompanied by many gestures, but each statement was mado deliberately, and bore with it the impression that the speaker was weighing, every word, and was not anxious to commit himself farther than he intended.

In reviewing the situation. General Brooke said: "About all I know is that wo are here. There can be no doubt that these Indians are badly excited, and before we came the white people were alarmed lest they should all bo massacred. Our coming has had the. etiect of quieting their fears somewhat, and, furthermore, it has, you might say.

'stiffened up' the peaceful Indians 'Ihese people have been communicated with, aud they all know the troops are here. We have force enough to keep the peace." Torn Belly, one of the minor chiefs, declared that he did not know what the troops were on the reservation for, but insisted that the dancing must not be stopped. "We don't want to fight," said he, "but this is our church. It's just the same as the white man's 'church, except that we don't pass around the hat." SITTING BULL WEAKENING. Deserted by Ills Followers, Who Have Lost Faith, in the Messiah Craze.

Bismarck, N. IV Nov. 22. A dispatch from Standing Rock agency says: Major McLaughlin's visit to Sitting Bull's camp, last Sunday, had tbe effect of stopping, for a time at least, the ghost dances held in connection with the Messiah craze. McLaughlin received a letter from Bull yesterday, and says he has taken his friends' advice and stopped the dances.

He regards McLaughlin as the best friend he ever had; when ho follows his advice he never makes a. mistake. Bull's chila is very sick or he would come to the agency to-day to draw rations. He' hones to see his friend McLaughlin soon if the child recovers. Bull's followers are growing less all the time, and this discourages the old chief.

The agent thinks there is no probability of trouble at present, and may not be this winter or 6pring. He is working hard with a coips of able assistants, and makes stroug arguments against the craze, talks to them 6ingly, convinces them there is no foundation lor their belief. Only seven or eight are not worth while to talk to, aud the rest of the band about one hundred he can draw away from Bull argument. The agent is very successful in his method of wiuinng Indians away from tho craze. People on the east side of the river are fleeing for their lives, and no roan iu pursuit.

The excitement is all unwarranted. Reports of a massacre forty miles south of the agency are believed to be uufonuded. Lieutenant Crowder and men. with an. abundance of ammunition and rations for three days, cross tbe river early to-morrow morning to make a tour of tho country said to be infested by Indians.

Another dispatch received this evening says: To-day was ration day at the agency, and all but about fifteen or twenty of the male inhabitants of that reservation were present to receive their share of Uncle Sam's maintenance. The squaws to about that number came alone, but were refused rations unlessaccornpauied by the other half of the household. The Indians wero all quiet and accepted rations as ueual. Inquiry among thobo wlo have assembled for their rations reveals the fact that Sitting Bull has now only about nine or ten followers. Hislonsof power is attributed to the failure of the Messiah to appear when promised.

Sitting Bull' faith in the Messiah is weakening. A squad of soldiers will be sent to Campbell county to investigate the tumors of de-strnction at the hands of Indians supposed to be from Standing Rock ageticv. A dispatch from Governor Mellette, of South Dakota, to the officials in Bismarck, says there is no foundation to the rumors that Indians are crossing the river into Campbell county, and that, upon investigation, all rumors of outbreaks in South Dakota are found to be groundless. The greatest danger now is believed to be at Pine Ridge and other southern agencies. TEMGRAPniC BREVITIES.
