IS ISO SEEI0US TROUBLE THEEE MaJ. Clapp, the Agent, Declares There -Has Not Recently Been Any Mens oT ah Cprisi nsr A. 'Boundary Fence Made Sonie Dissatisfaction. Chadron, Nov. 13.

Special: The Indians on the Sioux reservation in South Dakota -were never in a more peaceable cr prosperous condition than at the present time. The reports which have been sent out for some time past from correspondents remote from the Pine Ridge agency would indicate that the Sioux Indiana were on the verge of an uprising, but such is not the case. An investigation of the af fairs at the present time on the Pine Ridge agency has been made by your corre-spondenL The present agent at Pine Ridge is Maj. W. H.

Clapp, U. S. who. in the several years that he has been in charge of the Sioux, has achieved remarkable success and under his guidance the Indians are making rapid strides toward civilization. The story of 500 young Indians, or any number, having banded together or organized to subvert the exist ing order of things, is entirely and wholly untrue.

The Indians are now as quiet and contented as they have been at any time in the past. As evidence of the progress that they are making, there are thirty-two Said There Was Ko Necessity for Abandoning the Teresa. 00MMA1TDEE MOORE'S CONDUCT It Is Hinted that lie Was AY illiua: Com mander Harris, a Volunteer Officer. Should Shoulder All the Blame Other OfScers Criticised by Navigators. Washington, Nov.

13. According to the 6tories of the officers and men of the Leo- nidas, which brought captured guns from Spanish warships, the inquiry into the abandonment of the Maria Teresa will in all probability result in a courtmartial to somebody. They are nearly unanimous in saying that there was not the slightest necessity for abandoning the captured Spanish cruiser, and this view is borne out by the fact that the ship drifted over thirty miles and went ashore on Cat island the follow ing morning without serious damage. The men on vbe Leonidas that the proper plan would have been for all of the crew to have abandoned the Maria Teresa except two or three men. A catamaran or life raft could have been towed astern of the ship, and the men left aboard could have-cast off the towllne and taken Ao the life raft if it became necessary.

Before the ships left Guantanamo Lieut. Commander Harris, who represented the navy on the Maria Teresa, arranged to show the ensign on the mainmast in case he wished to confer at short range, with the Leonldas. The ensign was shown during the day of November 1, but Commander W. I. Moore, of the Leonldas, was afraid to put hls ship about and go to the relief of the Maria Teresa because of the necessity of getting into the troueh of the sea.

Later in the afternoon he executed this ma neuver twice, but it was too late. It appears that Commander Moore was the senior officer, of the fleet and should have assumed the responsibility. This he apparently declined to do, leaving Lieut. Commander Harris on the idarla Teresa to exercise his own Judgment, although the cruiser was really under command of Capt. Chittenden of the wrecking company.

Harris was a volunteer officer, Moore belonged to the regular service, and it is hinted that the latter officer purposely kept out of the way to avoid responsibility and fix the blame upon the volunteer officer. However this may be, some of the officers of the fleet say that a great mistake was made in attempting to make a direct course northward in the open These were the original' Instructions of Capt. Chester, of the when the litUe fleet left Guantanamo, but Commander Mcore, it is said, would have been Justified in varying them owing to the storm, and instead of coming up-through Crooked Passage and thence out into the tpen sea beyond Salvador, he might easily have run westward along the north coast of Cuba to Key West and thence up along' the Atlantic coast to Norfolk. By so doing he would have had a harbor of refuge every hundred miles or so. Experienced navigators say that Capt.

Chester wa3 seriously at fault in sending a half wrecked ship northward in the open sea through Crooked Passage, and they also blame Commander Moore, first for not having exercised the usual discretion and taken a route under the lee of the island, and secondly for not having turned back promptly and assumed responsibility for the abandonment of the Maria Teresa. With all these facts before it the court of inquiry can scarcely do less than order the courtmartial of. Capt. Chester, Commander Moore and Lieut. Commander Harris.

"The war revenue measures, he said, "must be revised, but we will keep many orglnal features of the law simply becaus It is now necessary. Under the old tarit law we are not getting very much revenue, because we are exporting instead of importing, and something must be done to meet these new conditions We must have a new revenue measure.

So far as I am concerned, I favor putting -a duty on tea and coffee. The revenue for the support of the government must be raised in some way and the indirect is the best way, ac cording to my Idea. When the people do not realize that they are paying a tax is no complaint. Still it will be necessary to retain some of the features of the war revenue measure.

It is wound by a more reliable source than anything human.

It may be said to be wound by the solar system. In this Invention the axiom of heat expanding and cold contracting is the basis. The clock'is wound by changes in the temperature, the principal force being in the day and night differences. Mr. Burton found that there is an average difference of 20 degrees In the temperature of the nlcht and th The day.

of course, Is the warmer. The heat of the day ex pands the atmosphere and the lower temperature of the night contracts ir. This is how Mr. Burton applied the force to his clock an ordinary old style clock- using a Weight: Outside of his house he has a tin tank, 10 feet high and 9 inches in diameter. It Is air tight.

From it a tube runs Into the cellar. This tube leads to a cylin drical reservoir, which receives the air from the tank. In this reservoir there is a piston. whose rod moves with a ratchet between the chain on which the tdftton depends. The heat of the sun expands the atmosphere in the exterior tank, thus forcing any excess Into the reservoir near tne clock.

During expansion the piston rises. In the night time the contraction of the air In the exterior tank reduces the air in the reservoir and the piston lowers itself. The ratchet arrangement winds the cloek. Exchange: An Item of local news picked np Is that John W.

Duf ing the past two years Maj. Clapp has scld to these, Indians haying machinery, wagons and harness to the value of more than $20,000, all of which they have paid from their: own earnings, and this has teen taken up and credited to the United States. They pay for all repairing done at the agency sheps, and they are steadily learning: to value property and money. The Sioux Indians on the Pine Ridge re-fcerve are the owners of over 40.000 head cf horned stock, and sell annually to the government mere than one million and a half pounds of beef raised by themselves.

During the present year, over 8,000 calves were branded and the Indians each year are ccming better to appreciate the value of this industry. The amount f.crtme on the reservation is far less than would be found among the same number of white people located anywhere. That Boundary Fence. Maj. Clapp was interviewed concerning the reported uprising of the Sioux and said; r- 'There is no truth whatever; so far as I am informed and believe, in these assertions which have been made.

Nor am I aware of anv effort on their part for the removal cf either cf us. For several years the northern portion of the reservation has been overrun by large numbers of cattle from ranches located along the line. These were so numerous and the number of cattle ostensibly held so large as to make it clear that the locations were chosen in crder that the cattle might feed upon the As a remedy for these intrusions, it was decided to build a boundary fence -along the northern line, and it is now about When the question: of building the fence first came up, the Indians were enthusiastically in favor cf it, but after th-contract-was let a considerable amount cf opposition was developed, confined almost entirely to the districts remote from the fence.

Several councils were held by the Indians and every imaginable excuse urged against the erection of the fence. Some threats of violence were rr.aic. and for a tins matters locked rather serious. It soon became apparent that this. opposition was chis8y the work of cne man; an educated mixed blood, who waff doubtless paid for his work by parties living outside the reservation.

This n.ar.'s conduct was so subversive of peace and good order as to causa 'his ex-puls'on from the reservation. Either he, or tome of bis" employers, are responsible fcr the report that the Sioux lidian3 aro on ths verge of an uprising. Since this man's xpuMoc, all opposition to the fence has eeased, and the fence is being erected without the slightest difficulty. No other occasion for discontent among these la-.
