—— TWENTIETH YEAR. THE OMAHA DALy BEE " OMAHA TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18, 1890, NUMBER 159, ——————————————————————————————— NEW CHRIST OF THE INDIANS, A (raze Among the Redskins Liable to Re- sult in Trouble. STRANGE STORY OF APOSTLE PORCUPINE, HeBays the New Messiah is an Advo- cate of Peace and Harmony, But the Incendiary Indians Are Not Suited, Cmicaco, Nov. 17.—General Miles, nccom- panied by Colonel Corbin, veturned this morn- ing from St. Louis, where he yesterday had a consultation with Secretary of War Proc- tor, concerning the alleged fndian trouble in the northwest, Colonel Corbin said today there is no doubt if the [ndians were to de- Mo apon an outbreak they could do much harm. They have an abundance of rifies and ammunition, plenty of horses and u large sup- ply of meat. But winter is coming on and the officers hardly think there is any immedi- ate dangor of an outbreak. Colonel Corbin said the stories of the evacuation of districts by settlers in North Dakota are overdrawn, There may be some fearful residents who, fearing redskins, may have left their homes, but the stories of wholessle evacuations is absolutely without foundation. “We havemade,” hesaid, “a care- stimate of the number affected by the h craze and thero ave in all not to ex- ceed 30,000 Indians, Of this number, perhaps one-fifth ave able-bodied warriers and one- half, or 15,000, could bear arms. Such a body, of course, could do much harm if themr movements were ot properl ssted, but we have taken measures to intercept any out- break.” ‘General Miles has received from the post adjutant at Fort Custer, Montana, the report of Lieutenant Robinson, who carefully - vestigated the new religious craze at yenne agency. His talks were principal with “Porcupine,” the apostle of the new religion among the Cheyennes and with *‘Big Beaver,” who accompanied “Porcupine’ on new Christ at Walker lake, year, Porcupine told him there w hundred Indians at Walke lake at that time, including representative of the Che Arapahoes, Grosventr tos, Sheepeaters, Bannocks and other did not know Ho ard of this Ch y, W and some _other Cheyennes visited lust fall. Au Arapahoo who had been to e southw ern country in 1888 told them about it - cupine and others were much interested and determined to sce this new Messiah, They went on from point to point, traveling some- times by railroad and sometimes by ponies or wagons. Porcupine insists that the teach- ings of the new Ch were in the interests of peace and good order and industry on the Indians ant Robinson asked him how it was then that certain Indian _tribes had made th new doctrine the basis for neglecting their crops, indulging in demoralizing dances and even in disorder. Porcupine replied that nearly all the Indians who had gone to hear this new Christ with him had gone hoping to hear him preach some incendiary doctrine. They were disappointed at hearing the new ereed required them to simply work and be- have themselves and concluded on their re- turn home not to relate strictly what had been tod them, but topreach doctrines more agreeable tothe Andians, ““These men,” said Porcupine to the lieu- tenant, “arc all liars, and they are responsi- ble forany trouble that occurs—not the new Messiah.”? Porcupinecited one casexin point. of a Sioux warrior whom be heard of but did not know. This man ed that the new Christ told them to believe in bis_religion, which gave the Indians a charmed lifeagainst the whites. From this arose insalence and trouble.” Lieutenant Robinson obtained from Henry Reed, an Arapahoe interpreter, an intelligen t half-breed, fuformation, which, if true, would establish ' the identity of the so- 5 Reed Indian igent but no ucated man. “This man lives on the W lake reservition where the other Indians claim to have seen the new Christ. Reed re- ports that the Arapahoes are much excited over the doctrine and thatmany of them nave even torn down their houses andsold the ogs. Reed says the agent and the police ave entirely lost control over them, From all Lieutenant Robinson could learn Porcupine's infiien co has been constantly ex- erted for good, and i the lineof what he claimed “the’ new Messiah told him in contradistinction to the preachings of other redskin missionaties. Appended to the licutenant’s statementis the statement of Porcupine, as written dowa by Robinson with the aid of an inwrrrvu‘r. It'is a lengthy one, describing in detail how he first heard of the new Christ and various stages of the journey of himself and companions together. He said: “Tho people at points where the new Christ was, seemed all good people though of many tribes, There was no fighting or drinking. The chiefs of the home tribe brought' word from the Messiah to remain fourteen days in camp, when he would come and bring them something to eat like a big white nut. Finally one morning hundreds of people gathered near Walkers Luke agency in o great ring and before sundown more peoplo came, dressed in white men’s clothes, although' mostly Indians, and the Christ was with them, He was not so dark 88 an Indian nor so light us a white man, He had 1o beard, but very heavy eyebrows, He . was dressed like a white man, excepting he had on moceasins. He commenced our dance, werybody joining iuand the Christ singing. We dancéd till late at night, when he told us we had enough, I had heard that Christ had been crudified,” said Porcupine, *‘and I saw a scar on this man's wrist and on his face “Next cvening we assembled again; he sung, then trembled violently and then ' lay down, apparently dead, while we danced ail pight. Next morning he sat down and talked with us, saying: ‘Lam the man_who made everything yousee around you. I have been to héaven and have seen my own father and mother. In the beginning, after God made the earth, they sent me back to teach the people, but the fn)«ple ere afraid of me and treat me badly. This is what thev did to me (showing the scars), I found my children were bad, so I went back to heaven and left them, I told them In so many hundred of ears I would come back to see them. My father told me the earth was_getting old and worn out and the people getting bad and that 1 was to renew everything as it used to be and make it better,’” Porcupine dded: *“The Christ said all the dead were to be resurrected ; that they were all to come back to earth and that as the earth was too small for all now he would do away with heaven and make earth itself large enough to contain all. He spoke to us about fighting and said it was bad nud that we must keep from it; _that the earth was to be all good hereatter; that wemust be friends with one another. He told usnot to quarrel or strike or fight or shoot one another; that whites and Indians were to be all one people. He said if any man disobeyed what he or- dered his tribe would be wiped from the face of the earth. We must behieve everything he aid and ho would know our thoughts and sctions, no matter in what part of the world we might be. I thought all he said was good,” added Porcupiue. “When I got back, 1 knew m'y people were bad and had heard nothing of this, so I got them together and told them of it and warned them to listen for their own I told them just what I have toid you here today. If “you think I am not elling the truth you can go and see this man i’mlnull. 1 will go with you and I would ik some 0§ my people, whio doubt me, to go 100. The Christ talked to us in all our re- spective languages, You can see him in your sleco any time you want, if you have onco met and shaken hands with i teuant Robiuson, in partial correbo named tion of the story that Pah Ute Johnson is the Messiah referred to, siys Reed told him Johnson has tattoo marks on his wrists. He is quite wealthy in horses and cattle, THE SETTLERS ALARMED. Terrorized Dakotans Fleo from the Followers of the New Messiah. MixsEAroLs, Minn, Nov. 17.—Settlors from every direction come inand report in- sults received from depredatory bands of In- diuns armed to the teeth, The citizens of Mandan bave practically no arms and are helpless. During the day the entire com- muvity was terrorized. A sertler named Ardrom comes from ten miles out of town and states that six Indians aro camped near lis place this morning. He told them to be careful of fire, They told him tomind own business and ominously tapped their The same fellows this afternoon told ; Sioux who live here that to the amy _of the Messiah; were going down to take Fort Lincoln and then burn and pillage Mandon and Kkill the inhabitauts. Theysaid the siah would lead the army and do not_e 10 £0 out until spring, but when the Messiah says ‘o, ' they will go, even ifin the depth of winter, These and all othe through the country are ordinary way and loaded down with ammu- nition, ~ Nothing but the immediato appear- ance of troops will prevent an uprising in the judgment of old Indian_soldiers. A number of women and children left tonight for Bis- marck and other points east of the Missouri. Indiuns traveling rmed in an extra- Cuicaco, Nov. s Tz B Notwithstanding the fact that all sorts of rumors come from St. Paul, St. Louis, Leavenworth and other poiuts of or- ders for movements of troops and counsels as to methods of procedure, the officials at head- quarters of the division of the Missouri said this afternoon that there was absolutely nothing new, and tothe best of their know!- edge no orders whatever had been given for the movement of troops. Oneofficer said it was very likely that orders had been quickly ‘given for _everytuing to be put in readiness for an instantan- cous movement in case of an_cmergency and that, this leaking out, was giving rise to the other rumors at the ut army posts, On receipt thi ows from Omaha of actiyi 5 the cor- respondent of T wont o General Miles' Lotel to enquire of the commander of the division of the Missouri if anything new red, The general had, however, gone {0 bed and could notbq seen. | Assistant Adjutant General Corlin ~was ' found, but would merel that he lad no informa- tion of ar laving been issucd. The Sioux Uneasy. Hurox, S. D, Nov. 17.—[Speclal Tglegram to Tur Bre.]—General Thomas H, Ruger, commander of the department of Dakota, with Lieutenaut Woodruft, reached here this afternoon from the Sioux reservation. They report the Indians at the agencies visited as quiet, but some of them, especially at Stand- ing Rock, are somewhat unecasy because of the supposed coming of their Messiah, At Piue Ridge agency, where the Indianshave been allowed to engage in - ghost and other s, there is much excitement but no prob- v of an outbreak. Agent Royer prompt- ly advised the Indian burean of affairs at Pine Ridge, and steps have been taken to prevent any uYrislnz. Vigilant wateh 1s ng kept and every precaution g uscd to prevent ” excitement. Ruger does not think the intervention of troops will be necessary, Genersl Miles' Reticence. Cuicado, Nov. 17.--General Miles was questioned in person this evening and said in part: *Tt would be unwise to say anything at this time. Anything I might say would be telegraphed all over the country and tomor- row would be in the Indiancamps. I have nothing to say now beyond the fact that there is reason for grave apprehensions of trouble with the Indians of the plains between the Missouri river and the mountams. It is serious among all the different Sioux camps pumbering 27,000 men, Arapahoes,Cheyeunes, s and Comadches,”? anything of your consultation vy Proctor!” “Certainly not, that is just the matter about which it would be most imprudent to speak.”’ The North Dakora Indian Scare.

THE TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. The Barings Said to Have Agrecd to Go Into Liquidation, [Copyright 1890 by James Gordon Bennett.] 1 New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee.]—The worst is over in this city, atleast for the present, and the Barings will not go to the wall fora few days or months, But my information is that there will be no house of Barings a few years hence. Icalled on Lord Revelstoke, thehead of the Barings, today. His answer was, “Too busy; cannot possibly see you.” The refusal is of no consequence, for though he could have given the details of the situation, they were obtainable clsewhere. They are as follows : There is no sentiment east of Templo Bay but that the Barings would have failed but for the assistance of the Bank of Eng- land, Morgan & Co., Marietta and others, Assistance was only given on the terms of those who readered it These terms are - that the Barings go into liguidation, and that the liquidators be those who prevented the failure, tho liquidation to consume three years, at the end of which period the Barings' immense business will have been absorbed by the liquidators. Assistance on these terms is not wholly philanthrophic. It is estimated that when the affairs of the firm are settled £1,000,000 or more will remain to the mem- bers. ¢ There were many callers at Barings' bank today. Only the largest depositors saw the head of the house. They did not look cheerful when called on, when went away. The feeling in the city ismuch better. The neadsof the Liggest houses say that the worst is over, but experienced city men who do their own thinking avenot so sure of this. They fear that @ crash will come to many after a few days’ quiet. Morgan today said : “The worst has passed, There is a diminution of anxiety and an im- provement of prices will follow.” Rapal & Sons sald: “We upprehend no failures of im- portance. The mischief is confined to one great firm and others iuterested In Argentine securities, Trade was never sounder and the beavy fall of securities, particularly Amer- cans, has not caused & single important failure on the stock exchange” Morton Raze & Co. believe that confidence will not be restored for @ considerable time, but the worst is over, Russian Bank Robbers.

He further sald that the present trouble would not compgre with the French financial collapse of 1882. The Argeutine Republic would be the great sufferer. She would be compelled to suspend payvment of coupons on her debt.

What a Sueviving Friend Thinks the Dead General Would Like—The South Marching on Prosperity —Notes, b SRTEENTI STREET, Wiasnixaroy, D, €., Nov Probably no man during the latter days of General Grant enjoyed more confidenti lations with the great ch n than Edward F. Beale of California and who, dur= ing his friend's last administration, repre- sented the United States ot Vienna in the same position now held by Colonel Frederick Grant. For many yea eneral Beale hus resided in this city in the mansion facing La- fayette square and which was famous in the ante bellum days as the residence of Commo- dore Stephen Decatur, a distinkuished ofticer in the American navy. Seated in his library on the main floor of his home General Beale this afternoon discussed very unveservedly the removal of the temains of General Grant from Riverside park, New York, to Arling- ton, national cemetery in Virginfa, *Itis purely a matter for Mrs, Graut to decide, * remarked General Beale, “and despite my fntimate relations with the family I have never ventured to intrude my opinions upon them, although I am in frequent receipt of communications from Colonel Fred Grant. He has not recently referred to this subject cither dirvectly or indirectly, preferring, as ho has frequently expressed himself, toallow his mother to be the sole arbiter, but I am of tho opinion that no mecessity e: moval of General Graut’s remains from ki erside Park, and I am opposed to the pr posed trausfer to the national cemetery at Arlington, General Grant was always close to the people and Iam sure that he would never have sanctioned a scheme by which a memorial to him would be placed in a ceme- 11 who desred to do homage to >mpelled to do so not nconvenience, but be rhack hire as well.

WHAT THE FARMERS WILL D0, Itis stated that Secretary Windom in his aunual report will give noattention to the demands of the farmers alliauce on the ground that questions raised by that organi- zation are pot within hisofficial purview, The farmers alliance, asis well known, demands the free coinage of silver, the age of u subtreasury bill and the’ abolition of the national banking system and Secrelary Win- dom is opposed to all these propositions. It is believed, however, that tho alliauce will have so much power'in the Fifty-sccond con- gress that it will force some of its views upon the administration and compel the upper branch to adopt some of them., The senate, of course, will never agree to the abolition of the national banking system and it is likely that Mr, Dorsey’s provosition giving banks a circulation to the full par value of bonds de- posited and decreasing the minimun of cir- culation to $,000 for each bank will be adopted at_the approaching session of this congress. This [(ru]lushinu is being pushed in the senate by Mr. Sherman, who says it is high time that' the republicans were giving lose attention to the demands of the farm- ers as an organization. He says heis willing to enlarge the circulating mediam in almost any matter, provided the obligation be the certificates of deposit issued by the subtreasury or ano other authori agencies are made redecmable by the Unte States government. It is likely that Senator [ give a large increase of the circulating: me- dium per capita. He believes that the farm- ers' alliance will have a suftiient influence upon the senate to forge through some ques tionable measures, and that if that body does not take the initiative and propose some remedies in the direction of the demands made by the alliance. THE OYSTER FAMIN There appears to be no real foundation for the reports circulated throughout the west that there is an oyster famine imminent Washington is one of the largest points in the country and the dealers bere, as well as those in Baltimore and Norfolk, say there is simply & short crop and the result will be a slight increase in prices without any serious diminution of the supply. LOOKING FOR TROUBLE. The war dep rtment is being kept in close communication with General Miles, who is promptly forwarding everything of interest relating to the threatened outbreak of the Sioux, while bigh officials at the department try to make as light of the trouble as possi- ble, ftis plain enough to seo that they are anxious and fear serious work before long, Geueral Schofield said this afternoon that while the latest advices from General Miles didnot intimate an immediate outbreak, at the same time it would not be surprising if the Indians should take the war path, The fact that the interior departuent had turned the malter over to the war department showed that trouble might be anticipated, General Schofield, like all other experienced officers, realizes that if an outbreak should ocour now it would be worse, (wrlmgfl. than anything of the same kind which has ever happened before, as now the Indians are so carried away by the religious craze and ex- citement that they would fight with all the desperation of fanatics, be Heving that caso of their 'death they ~ would immediately be restored to lite, while n the minds of most of them is on the postmasters the velief that the white man \Z b forced to succumb to them, General | 2 ofield says that there are 5,000 troops und % the com- mand of General Miles who wot = e availa- ble in case of an emergoncy.
