WANAMAKER'S REPORT. / Tils ItwiMMler General Dlsensw^ ths Con­ dition of th<» Prpsmt Snrica, PoSTMAKTRK GEXKRAL WAXAMAKEH Jhas made his annual report The most Important paragraphs touching the Post- office Department and its various rami- %% fixations are those which deal with tho * subjects of postal telegraph, postal sav­ ings banks and 1 cent postage. Mr. Wanamaker's position regarding a postal telegraph is well known. It is a deep- rooted conviction with him that such a ^system would be of much greater benefit the American people than to leave the control of the telegraph service in the hands of a practical mOnojioly. Many sided as this question is the Postmaster sjiGeneral has, he says, studied it from every int of view. His report shows that lie as fully considered the arguments that t have been made against it, and that ho •' believes he has successfully overthrown them all. Upon the subject of postal - savings banks the Postmaster General i also treats at length. His report shows the adoption of such auxiliaries to be useful in several ways. Their establish­ ment in small outlying communities ' where savings banks do not exist will fce, in the first place, an encouragement to " thrift and economy. Many millions of dollars will thus be saved annually r that are now, in the absence of a proper protection, needlessly wasted Tho suggestion of 1-cent postage finds great favor in Mr. Wanamaker's eyes. Tho receipts from this source are pow about $36,000,000 annually. To divide the rati; by one-haMT would make, in his opinit ii, a deficit of $19,000,000, a larger burden t*an the country is now prepared to staud. While upon this subject the Postmaster General explains that the 4; business of the other executive depart­ ments, which is handled free, wculd, if £ it paid the usual postage, increase tho revenue of the i>o>tal service about ?8,- •000,000 a year, a sum sufficient to offset the present deficit of §6,000.000 and leave a handsome bn'-r^e of ?2.< 0 \(,0) bo­ lides. " BUSINESS NOT SO BRISK. EV etf of th« Mm-lary Striatic? B'- . cosine Apt arent. eastern aid® of the grounds, farthest from the grand stand, suddenly collapsed carrying down with it its entire l|»a S>f human beings. The crash came t any warning, and at tho time bug rows of bleachers, were closely packed with spectators. It is estimated that t here were more than 2,000 people in the structure at the time- A scene of indescribable confusion and panic fol­ lowed the crasli, which was heard in all parts of the grounds. The occupants were mostly men, a . great majority of them students from Yale and Princeton. There were also manjr women in the crowd. They all lay iii a confused and struggling mass npfin the ground. Many of them were completely buried under the wreckage of planks and joists* of which the rickety structure was built. The screams ant shrieks and groans which came from the unfortunates were heartrending to hear. Many fainted from the injuries they received. In an instant there was a general rush for that part of the field, and a score or more of blue* coated policemen were soon engasod in pulling tbss maimed and wounded from the wreck. Others lent their assistance, and within ten minutes the whole place had been cleared. At lirit it was feared that same might have been killed, but I anything to eat. this fear proved to be unfounded. A great many persons, however, were se­ verely hurt, and broken limbs and bruised neads And bodies were numerous. Many o| the friends u/ the wounded* peo­ ple had them carried at once oitt of the grounds and placed in hacks, which took them a^&y before their I on which were located the stockade, fortifications, rifle-pits, etc., of the his­ toric prison. The land was bought from George Kennedy, a negro, and the pur* chase price was $1,500. In thirty days the work of converting the site Into a National G. A, R. Park will be begun. The money for this purpose has already been contributed by G. A. R. men in Georgia and elsewhere. The- purchase will be surrounded by a hundred-foot, driveway, and a wido avenue will; lead to the rail­ way station; wWks, drives, fountains, and beds of flowers and rare shrubs and berries will be plentiful, and in the cen­ ter on an elevation will be erected an elegant club house* for tho uso of mem­ bers of the G. A. R. and their guests. Each point of special interest will be marked by a suitable monument or building, and at Providence Spring a large amphitheater will bo erecte.1 for the holding of Decoration-Day exercises.

Co.'s weel!'y review of trade says: : The last broken week has not improved the business outloJk. The difficulty of ob­ taining commercial loans Increases, not in New York only, but at most other points. Banks and other lenders from the largest to the smallest appear t> have been in­ duced by recent events to strengthen them­ selves. Merchants have grown more cau­ tious about extending obligations, or niak- iag purchases- which can be deferred, appre­ hending that retail baying may lie cut down somewhat by reduced ability of some con­ sumers, and by the disposition of others to economize In view of the extensively reported advance in prices. Meanwhile speculation has been reviving to an un- heal»iy extent in some directions on the theory that troubles arj over and things will improve. The money markets are thus loaded with increased demands for carrying securities and products at a time when trade especially needs more liberal supplies. At most of the Interior mark",'Is money grows more stringent, and the scarcity be­ gins ta affect trade at important csnteis, though the volume of business is still large. The speculaiivo markets have been ad­ vancing. Wheat has risen cents, corn 2%, and oats cents, lard 15 cents per 100 pounds, and coffee one-quarter of a cent, pork being unchanged, and oil one cent lower. Cotton has also yielded a sixteenth In view of crop prospects. The rise in breadstuff's has no increased foreign demand to justify it. but operators stem to have concluded that monetary difficulties are all over, and that they can carry all the grain until Europe Is forced to buy.

WESTERN HAPPENINGS. WORD has been received from Seven Lakes, in the Gallinas Mountains, Lin­ coln County, New Mexico, that four sheep herders were killed recently by a hail-storm. Sixteen others and 1,600 head of sheep are missing. The messen­ ger says that it was the severest hail­ storm ever known in the mountains. DirHTiiKRiA is becoming so prevalent among the children in Madison, Wis., that the public schools will be closed to prevent the spread of the disease. Sev­ eral patients have died and several more cases are reported. Gov. FRANCIS, of Missouri, has ap­ pointed J. L. Thomas, of Jefferson County, and Georgt B. McFarlane, of Mexico, Judges of the Supreme Court under the constitutional amendment adopted Nov. 4. They will assume their official duties Jan. 1, 1891, and their terms will expire two years later. They will sit in criminal cases only. IT is evident frotn the developments of the last few days that hostUe Indians from the Grand River, Cheyenne, Rose­ bud, and Pine Ridge Agencies are mass­ ing at some point for a stand against the troops under Gen. Brooke. From squaw men just in from Ziebach County it is learned that bands of red men in war paint have been passing through that county for several days, mov­ ing southward. They were well armed with Winchester rifles, had plenty of ammunition, and were we'l- equipped with ponies. Ihey were uni­ formly insolent and reticent. The place of meeting agreed upon is reported to be a heavily wooded paint on th'i White River ten miles above the mouth of the South Fork of the White. This point is a day's hard ride from Pine- Ridge Agency, S. D., and nearly as far from Rosebud. The squcw/ men Itive boen threatened with death by the lios- tiles and are running away from the Indian camps and giving up the secrets of the Sioux. They have been cxiuded from all ghost dances and are subjects of special hatred. THE arrest of John Chugg: a Union Pacific conductor at Salt Lake City, Utah, reveals the fact that the company has been swindled out of thousands of dollars during the past year. Local ?assenger conductors between Salt Lake ity and local points have been in the habit of taking up tickets, and, without Canceling them, put them in their, pockets, after which they are sold to scalpers. Some of the tickets were sold as often as five timfes? The case was brought to light by detectives, who discovered Chugg's wife in the act of disposing of a bundle of 200 tickets. All the scalpers in Salt Lake City arc implicated and will be arrested. THE Cook County Grand Jury has re­ turned 137 indictments for violations of the anti-gambling laws of Illinois. Nearly every prominent bookmaker, poolseller, and gambling-house keeper in Chicago is named. THE Cheboygan Lumber Company's docks at Cheboygan, Mich., caught fire and lumber, docks, tramways, and other property to the value of 9200,000 were destroyed. ON a dispatch from the Sheriff at Wausau, the Milwaukee police took from through train for Chicago an eloping couple who had tickets for Chicago. They were Joseph Hayes, aged 40, and Mrs. Bertha Kostlau, aged 33 years. Both of them are married and deserted their families at Wausau. THE 150 stands of arms deposited at ermillion, S. D., have been ordered shipped to Rapid City by Gov. Mellette. Companies A and B of tho local militia have also been Ordered to be in readiness to move. A BAND of Navajo Indians were at Durango, Col., the other day from their reservation in the southern part of the State. While they say "they are not in it," they show from their action that they are greatly excited over the reports from Dakota, and it will take but little to induce them to join the Sioux. They claimed to have some communication from the north. Their theory is that the Messiah, over which the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Agencies are crazy, is none other than Isidor Cohen, who is known throughout Southern Colorado as "Nosey Cohen," a leader well acquainted with their tongues and customs. Many of the Southern Utes talk of the craze with but little in­ terest, and seem to wish that the reports were true, that the Good Spirit would come to them as to the Sioux and restore the old days of flint arrows and game. •r-- I F ^ EASTERN OCCURRENCES.

Hundreds of acres of land are under water, and tho crops are destroyed. A large number of cattle have perished. Many families are rendered homeless by the flood. THE King of Holland is dead. There was a sudden change for the worse in the King's condition, the symptoms be­ ing those of uraemia. The Queen was immediately sent for ahd staid at the patient's bedside during the night. Life ebbed away quietly. The public buildings in The Hague are closed and all amusements have been suspended. Tho shutters of all the royal palaces arc closed and flags aro at half mast. The father of the late King died in 1849 intestate. He left a fortune of 100,000,000 florins. The greater part of this money went to the eldest son. When William III. ascended to the throne his first act was to cut down his civil list considerably. His next act was to promote a scheme for draining the Zuyder Zee. These wero about the only useful things he ac­ complished during his reign. His passion for beautiful opera singers in­ creased with his years. He squandered his wealth on musical festivals at Loo. He shocked the sensibilities of tha de­ cent and decorous Dutch by his open intrigue with Mile. d'Ambre, whom he created a countess, and with whom he desired to contract a morganatic mar­ riage after the death of his first wife. Mme. Musard was another favorite of the King. She was an American actress, and used to figure In New York as Pau­ lino Belmont, playing in her husband's bal masques, which the police were compelled to st:p. M. PEI.LKTAN has presented to tho French Budget Committee a report on the financial situation of France. This shows that the estimated debt of tho country is 30.300,913,594 francs of nom­ inal capital and "2,824,843,669 francs of actual capttal, the nominal rate of inter­ est being 3.48 per cent., and the actual rate 4.62 per cent. "This," continues the report, "is tho largest public debt in the world, but French credit is suffi­ ciently solid to allow of French stock being reckoned as 3-per-ccnts." .•f?- > FRESH AND NEWSY. ' TREASURER HITSTON, who is now in Indiana, will "probably return to Wash­ ington In the course of a fortnight, pre­ liminary to resigning Jan. 1. It is said that he will probably take his old place as Chairman of the State Central Com­ mittee. Chairman Michener is going to Washington to go into partnership with Col. W. W. Dudley. THE schooner Waterfly, with $20,000 worth of smuggled whisky on board, has been seized in the St. Lawrence River by Canadian customs officers. A number of other contraband vessels are reported in the river on their way up to Quebcc, and will probably all be captured. This illicit trade has assumed large propor­ tions. A DISPATCH from Buenos Ayres says a financial crisis prevails in that city. Several credit houses have closod. There was a tumult on the bourse, and the police were called upon to quell the dis­ turbance. There are rumors of revolu­ tions in several parts of the republic. •->- f-'V JW KAKKET REPOj .« S.25 . 3.50 . 8.00 . M SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. NEWS has been received of a threat­ ened race riot at Brownsville, Miss. A negro assaulted a young white man in a store, stepping up behind and dealing him several severe blows with brass knuckles. Warrants were issued against the negro, but he had collected a crowd and swore he would not bo taken. All the negroes between Big Black River and Brownsville are up in arms, threat­ ening to burn the town and kill tho whites. The negroes are largely in the majority, but tho whites, should auy at­ tack be made on them, would make things lively for the leaders of the law­ less gang. v • CHICAGO. CATTIJE--Common to Prim*..

[Chicago dispatch.] The World's Columbian Commission will get a clearor idea of the plans of the Board of Directors to-day than it has ever had, and the communication that will be read to it will go a long way to­ ward smoothing over all difficulties re­ garding the site. Tho report was pre­ pared by the architects and engineers of the local board, and was accepted by that body yesterday and ordered sent to the Commission for its information. It is a pen picture of the Fair as it is in­ tended to have it, and must servo for the present Ui lieu of more definite plans and specifications. Tho matter has been gone into with as much detail as was possible at this time. The report first takes up the difficul­ ties under wl^ch its ^ignora have labor­ ed, Being only notified tho day before _ ... _ „ admf the way Plalsance; this may be permanent, and is therefore to'lie of lasting terlals.

For agri­ culture a main building is to be erecMd. in size and arrangement adapted to every need of tirfi diepartment, and hav­ ing an independent heating plant. For live stock the buildings are to be adapted to the needs as shall be ex­ pressed by those having this department in charge. In general there will be housing for stock and their attendants and hospitals for the animals. There will bo grand stands and display wings and other buildings to meet all proper requirements.

Tho report then out­ lines tho plan as follows, going Into de­ tails wherever possible, and it gives a better idea of the fair than any docu­ ment ystpresenied: It is intended tfl hse the entire area of Jackson Park for tho purposes of the Fafr, leaving the improved parts as much a§ possible in thgir presgnt con­ dition. The unimproved pfirt is to bo laid out in a manner appropriate to the whole plan of buildings, and at the same time to follow, when possible, tho lines already laid down by the Park Commis­ sioners. In general the presont northern Inlet is to be further extended, and to become an interior lagoon, that shall in­ close the island shown upon the park maps. This island is now covered with an extensive body of native wood. It is an essential point of the general design that it shall be preserved and made the basis of a passage of natural landscape to supply an episode of scenery in re­ freshing relief to the grandeur of the buildings, and, through its sylvan quali­ ties, to the crowded and busy aspect that must be looked for almost everywhere else within the grounds. To this object it is essential that, neither within the limits of the island nor in close associa­ tion with it, should any structures be given a place which, by their size, thefr architectural design, or the purposes for which they are to be used, will interfere with the motive thus proposed to be con­ trolling in the locality. From the lagoon above mentioned a canal will continue the waterway south­ ward along the main building and into th'e largo basin which is to form the cen­ ter of a great court about which the principal buildings of the exposition are to be grouped. Tho banks of these land-locked bodies of water are to fce fin­ ished in ways appropriate to the various localities through which they pass. Thus broad terraces and landings will bo needed where tho lagoon opens into the lake, for both tho fisheries ar.jJ tho Goyernmeat oxhfbits; while the shores of thfl Island should have informal out­ lines masked with foliage. The borders of the canal and the basin in the court are to be treated formallyj with embank­ ments of stone or briclc, surmounted by parapets or balustrades of stone, iron, brick, or terra cotta, and opening upon steps and landings here and there where boating,parties may land. All walks and outdoqp piices for assemblages of people are to be furnished with numer­ ous seats and resting places and are to be paved with mosaics of brick, stone, or concrete blocks, except whero gravel or stone chips may seem more expedient. At their own expense the South Park Commissioners will pave the beach along the entire shore of tho lake. The orna­ mentation of the grounds with turf and flowers, shrubs and tress, is a matter of too much detail to be here described. It must be studied out as the plans pro­ gress. AH public passenger railways, whether steam, cable, electric, or horse, aro to enter the park at tho southwest corner, though any of them may have stations at the Midway Plaisance or other con­ venient places, if kept outside the grounds. The width of trackage is yet to bo determined upon by tho transporta­ tion authorities, and therefore the loci tion can only bo indicated here. Thostf roads entering the inclosuro will deHvcr passengers inside tho Administration Building, From this place an intra^iu- lar electric elevated road will pas'j out through the grounds, entering bnildings where deemed advisable, and having con­ venient stations wherever necessary. It will connect with the station at the Mid­ way Plaisance aiw^oass Y ick to the Ad­ ministration Bun another route, thus forming a compile circuit and making it easy to go from one place to another without walking. Visitors once in the Fair will come out of the Administration Station upon the Great Square, where all the spaces are very broad, affording ample room for the gathering or dispersing of large crowds. Wheeled chairs are to be always kept in attendance here. The buildings will be imqressive in appearance when viewed from this Court: and to make them even more so and also to afford protection when tho weather is inclement a grand open arcade will inclose this space ex­ cept toward the lake, and will connect the buildings together, so that visitors may safely go from place to place in any weather. As mentioned before, there will be a groat water basin in the center of this court, where important fountains will play, forming an object of brilliant beauty in tho sunlight, or when illu­ mined by colored incandescent lamps at night. The basin has an outlet to tho2 lake. This will bo bridged by an ironj stone, or brick structure, the arch being made to blend with the artistic spirit of Its surroundings. Opposite the great open court a pier, to be of such form and direction as may be hereafter determined, will project Into the lake about 1,500 feet. It is to be so constructed as to form a harbor for the landing of the lake craft and for their better safety. The floor of the pier will slope gently upward as it leads from tho shore, so that visitors may look back over each others' heads and get the full effect of tho court and its surround­ ings, the paved beach covered with peo­ ple, and architectural grandeur of the most imposing and important buildings of the Fair. There is to be a largo res­ taurant and resting placo at tho outer end of this pier, with a band-stand and dancing-floor in connection. This pier is intended to be a most noted feature of tho Exposition. Without destroying the improved part of Jackson Park on the north, the horticultural exhibit is to bo placed there upon the open meadow. Tho building will be largely of iron and glass, and furnished with a plant for the purposes of heating and ventila­ tion. The large open green in frontbf the' building will be used for the out-of-door horticultural exhibits. Among th4tri'es near this location, and placed in 4 wa>' to preserve them, will be a few snail finely designed houses, either fol the States or of some archaeological in - These smaller structures are to be of materials substantial enough f< season, but as inexpensive as •otupatlble with tha desired effect. point for Government uso and display. Acroas the inlet from tho Government exhibit will fee tho buildings for the fisheries. A building here, as beautiful as possible in appearance, will be erected of durable materfal^ and fitted with every arrangement and detail Co carry ori the propagation, subsisting, and display of water animals. A plant for heating will be supplied. About and near the fisheries are to be small, finely designed buildings, disposed in a manner not to break up the <juiqt of tMs expanse, wliicli may Be used for tho purposes mentioned before when speaking of those near the horticultural exhibit. The Administration Building is to cover., many functions. Among them that of a station for all the transporta­ tion lines entering the park, a station more extensive than any now existing. It will also contain the full administra­ tion forces for information, for police^ firo, transportation, public comfort, ex­ penditure and accounts and any other similar purposes. It is, therefore, head­ quarters where nearly all visitors will arrive, attend to any business that they may have, and depart, and where ail forces and employes report and take their orders.

Ao one happened to be in the vicinity at Ujg Umc and Mr. Clarke ran down to the depot and &afe the alarm to the lone policeman he found there. Together they returned to the scene of the rob­ bery, but there was no trace of the rob­ bers. They then hurried to the Central Police Station, where Mr. Clarke gave as good a description of the robbers as pos­ sible, but that was very meager. One of them he described as tall and wear­ ing a silk hat, while the other was short, wearing a cap and otherwise shabbily drcsacd. Mr. Clarke, although much affected by his loss, immediately started out with two detectives, while half a dozen other detectives were started out on different routes, but up to midnight not one of them had reported a singlo clew that might possibly lead to an arrest. At first some of the police authorities were rather inclined to doubt Clarke's story. They could not believe a sane man would be traveling with so much cash about the streets, and they thought, too, that it would be but natural for a man td make an outcry when robbed, which Mr. Clarke admitted he had not done, but in­ stead had rushed down to the depot to iind a policeman. But all doubt of Mr. Clarke having the money was dispelled late to-night when Mr. Clarke's attorney, a leading lawyer of the city, was seen at his home and admitted having identified Mr. Clarke at the Second Ward Bank this afternoon that ho might cash the $22,000 check. He had spoken to Mr. Clarke, he said, about taking the entire amount in cash, but Mr. Clarke said he larger than any before built, will not f had some bills to pay here and also a only cover machinery in the ordinary sense, but will furnish a great central open space spanned with wide trusses whero there will be tho best chance pos­ sible for the display of the different transportation exhibits. Railway tracks are to be laid In all passages and covered with tho floors when not in use, so that heavy machinery may be moved about at $17, COO loan to pay at a Sheboygan bank. Mr. Killelea further said that he had known Mr. Clarke for many years and did not doubt for a moment that he told the truth about tho robbery. The only theory he could advance was that some one must have seen him draw the money at the bank or had noticed the contents of the sachel in some of tho places will. These railway tracks a A) to lead where he had paid out money this after- out upon the main lines in the grounds, • noon so that locomotives and car3 may enter and depart without delay. Power houses and heating plants will be made in con­ nection with this building. The main building for manufactures is to be ar­ ranged in plan to cover many function^. In it, either on the ground floor level or above, are to be special isolated rooms for judges and for special societies or committees. Here are to be restaurant and toilet rooms toward tho canal and toward tho lake. Tho lighting of the building is to be especially cared for, and heating provided where »ucessary for comfort or to carry on any exhibits. The electric and mining exhibits are to occupy each a building across the canal from thd Manufactories Building, each adapted to its purpose and furnish­ ed with power. Tho one for electricity is to be adapted, not only for power­ house and light station, but to be es­ pecially for all displays and cont manufacturing and of the com persons in that business, and t< self, when seen from a distam ject of beauty by day or night. This group of buUdings--ji/dmSf too Mr. Clarke is the sole proprietor of the Sheboygan electric-light plant, which represents an investment of $60,000. Until about two years ago Mr. Clarke was a wealthy farmer of the Town of Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, but re­ moved to Sheboygan after securing a franchise to light the city through the influence of his son-in-law, Alfred Liebermann. His investment was much more costly than he had anticipated, find he had sunk his entire fortune in the plant ' GLADSTONE'S ULTIMATUM. He Soys Mr. Parnell Must Wltl '^<Sv tlie Leadership.

Mr. Mc­ Carthy replied that lie was unablo to £lve me any Information. I mentioned to him that in 18-2, after the terrible mur­ der in Phoenix Park, Mr. Parnell, although totally removed from any idea of responsi­ bility, had spontaneously written me and offered to take the Chiltern Hundreds, an offer *j*~jch to his honor, but which I thought ^ « A I " ™y duty to decline.

Displays are to be made under fountains and waterways and possibly under tho outer lake itself. The special largo plant will be at the Machinery Building, from which heat and power may be transmitted to the Administration Build­ ing. In other places needing steam there will be separate plants. Gas Is to be used as little as possible and only when demanded for set purposes of man­ ufacturing or very late lighting. An ar­ rangement will be made with the city of Chicago to furnish all water required for exposition purposes. Until it is deter­ mined how much land is to be used on the Lake Front and whether new land is to be made there it cannot be def­ initely stated how the buildings will be arranged. It is . understood, however, that buildings for what is known in the classification as "Department K" ^nd for that portion of "Department 'L" which is generally grouped with it will be placed on tho Lake Front, and that in addition largo facilities will be pro­ vided for the crowds who will make this ground a starting place for their visits to Jackson Park.

It transpires that during the trial of the O'Shca divorce case the Nationalist members of Parliament pledged them­ selves to support Mr. Parnell whatever the result of the trial might be, and not to consider the sentiment of the English Liberals in the matter. Sir Charles Eusseli, in a speech at Hackney, said that many Irish members wero sad at heart because of tho calam­ ity that had befallen the cause of Ire­ land. lie believed they wished that Parnell would bow his head to tho storm and recognize the fact that he had in­ flicted a serious wound upon the con­ sciences of the people of both countries, and had datnagi d the cause for which he had fought so long.

D.) dispatch ] ; Crippled Indians, old Indians* and children are thick about th#a|mpyt and they all protest their frien&Sijp for tho whites. There are few if s«y #n» men in the party. Nearly all the report* from the camps about the reservation agree that the disaffected braves are not coming in. Their position has probably been stated exactly by Red Star, a young brave who belongs to the band on White Clay Creek. He met American Horse In. front of the agency, and, in reply to &. question said: ". "wan? us to come in let theitf come out and round us up." The authorities at the agency have re­ ceived permission from Washington to increase the Indian police force to 100 men. Working upon this same ideft Gen. Brooke has been empowered to muster in 200 more Indians to serve as squaw scouts, but thus far no steps have been taken to arm or equip such a force. In looking over the Indians assembled here it is extremely hard to find where* the 300 men would come from. There> are probably not that many young an<£ active braves in tlje whple camp. » So far only a few Indians f.ave a|P peared to belong to the band3 assembled at the points marked out for rendezvous ' to the north of the agency. At Medicine* Root, White River, and White Clay, t|i& dancing still goes on, and the Indian* are not inclined to come to the agency for any purpose. Monday is the day for- issuing rations, and Wednesday tho beef supply for two weeks will be given to* the Indians. Red Star and several of the other Indians who are inclined to be* defiant agree with Little Wound in his- declaration that they will not come 1m unless they are forced to do so. Here at, the agency the general feeling is a ner­ vous one. Nearly evory one agrees that: there will be trouble. The Indians as­ sembled here probably number 800 or 900. As they cahie in they pitched their tepees as they pleased about the prairie*. Early this morning an order wasgivea for all tho Indians to move off into the* low lands upon tho banks of Wolf Creek: that runs off to the southeast At noon-, an ugly and dirty Indian, who is the- barbaric ancestor of tho town erier*. moved about tho camp promulgating the- order in a shrill and strident voice that could be heard for half a mile. There was no hesitation. Tha decrepit old coffee coolers stood about and smoked,, tho elder boys gathered the ponies to­ gether from the surrounding knolls, an<i the squaws tore down the emoky tepees* Everything was loaded up, and the whole- party moved over Into the new camp. A careful inspection of the camp rumtna£0 as it was being moved showed only a few Springfield rifles and Winchesters, but many of the old men carried about theip waists belts filled with loaded cartridges. The question that everybody is asking; is whether tho ghost-dancers will com* in to see the agent under the order of last Thursday for all peaceably disposed Indians to report at tho agency. There> are 7,000 Indians all told in the reserva­ tion. About 800 or 900 of them have come in, but of this number there are not 150 able-bodied warriors. The men, the hot bloods, the ones, and the fanatical are not among them. The the Indian teachers, sj halfbreeds agree dians will thefrfsup TtoloolilTand as soon as tho rationsancfr beef have been issued they will demands a council. The officers and soldiers here are sim­ ply waiting and watching. When they* loft their posts fifteen days' rations were* issued. Yesterday arrangements wero completed for the establishment of 1. supply depot of the Quartermaster De­ partment at Rushville. Forty days' ra­ tions have been provided there for the- men here as well as those expected to ar­ rive tonight or tomorrow. The first knowledge that the ghost dancers had commenced plotting to en­ trap tho soldiers was brought to In­ dian Agent Royer last night by William. D. McGau, formerly' an Indian, scout and now a wealthy ranch­ man living in the vicinity of Buffalo. Gap. McGau was travoling overland on horseback and alone. He enjoys- a wide friendship among the Indians- generally, and last night staid at one of the lodges midway between this point and Buffalo Gap. Ho had placed little dependence in the reported scare, and therefore felt no foar in lying down and?' going to sleep in a tnpeo full of bronze- faced fellows, notwithstanding he- noticed that they were all fully armed. A little curiosity, however, prompted* liitn to feign sleep and keep his ears open during tho early part of tho night. The- result was that lio secured information. UM startling as it was valuable, and that removes every vestige of doubt as to the hioiidthirsty villainy which has taken possession of tho ghost dancers. After ho had been in bed some little- time, a couple of hours or more, one of the redskins bent over him to discover whether he was asleep. To all appear­ ances he was. Then he heard them get up and begin a whispered consultation. For tho first time in his life McGau says- ho almost doubted his own ears. The Indians with whom he had lain down to> sleep with a feeling of the utmost se­ curity were deliberately plotting to lead Gen. Brooke and his soldiers into an am­ bush and shoot them down. Their plan, as McGau heard from their own lips, is to continue the ghost dance *, till the troops try to stop it. The place selected to carry out their murderous design is a place Bixteen and one-half miles north of here, and a more ad­ vantageous iocality for so devlish a deed;, probably does not exist anywhere else oiv the face of the entire continent. It is where the Whito Horse Creek empties into the Wounded Knee and lies in something of an amphitheater shape. The only practicable way of leading to the spot is by a road that follows, along the bank of White Horse Creek. Upon either side of the road and creek are dense clumps of trees, so many as to almost form a wall on either side of the approach. The plot is to have a ghost dance in the center of this amphitheater and have the woods on. either side of the road full of Indians; when the soldiers come up to stop the dance, they would be easily shot down by the Indians in ambush on either side. By lining tho road with their Winches-. ters for the distance of a mile and let- * ling the troops get well into the am­ phitheater they wero calculating they could wipe out every soldier that came, and the calculation is a perfect one.
