THE B " INSUE, A Change of Plans by the Authoritics at Pine Ridge, Pixe Rivae AGENCy, S. Nov. 2 [(3pecial Telegram to T'n An order was issued this morning, postponing the beef issue until tomorrow and ordering all strangers except newspaper correspondents off the reservation. There are about six swarming in and about the ages seem unexcited. One hundred more Indian scouts are being sworn in and armed for service under the direction of General Brooke. The order postponing the beef issue until tomorrow set everybody to guessing what ad ditional significance was attatched to it. Special Agent Cooper said that 1t was a move on the part of the war department to keep six thousand or more Indians in ight here until tomorrow. Further than this, he, how- ever, declined to say. 1t looks as though the postponement was simply for the purpose of giving the eight companies of cavalry and two of infantry now en route from Fort Riley, Kan, time to get here, they being expected to veach us before daybreak tomorrow. When these arrive there will be about eleven nundred soldiers here. General Brooke and Messrs, Royer and Cooper are much more non-committal than ever before, “Keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut” is about the only idea they will express to the correspondent, another flock of whom put in an appearance today. The order expelling all but correspondeuts from the reservation is playing havoe among the many who are here purely out of curios- ity. Special Agen Cooper is busy making out passports to newspaper men and denying them to the loads of people who are flocking here from all points of the com- pass. BEvery time a strange face is scen among us now the owner of it is immediately spotted by the keen eyed and very vigi Indian policeand hustled before Agent Royer or Cooper, where he quickly hears the little fact that makes the ideal picture of disap- pointment orsatisfaction, There now seems to be agood chance of effecting & quiet arrest of those who are still holding out against the order to come into the reservation, although no one can really foretell what is coming. It seems evident, however, that some sort of asettlement witl be effected this week. It has just been learned that the one hun- dred Indians enlisted this morning as \ Military scouts will leave tomorrow on an overland march to Fort Robinson under com- mand of Licutenant Taylor, there to be equipped and trained. 2 Big Road, the chief who, with his band, has been rushing the ghost waltz for all it was worth, appeared at the agency office last night and solicited a talk with Agent Royer. His solicitations were acceded to in the pres- ence of Royer,Cooper, General Brooke and THE Beg ropresentative. The first portion of the “Big Injun’s’ say was about the same as when he talked to Tue Bre man alone yes- terday, namely: That he meant to do right; wanted to do right; would do right; wanted the whites to know that he was their friend; that he stopped dancing; would never do it; wanted peace, ete. Finally Ageut Royer asked this question : "Big Road, do you know of anything that the Indians on this reservation are dissatisfied with1 Speak right out plainly,” After meditating for some moments the old ehief replied, “We don't get enough to eat, not get enough toeat. We go hungry.” ‘When usked whettfer he thought the com- Mg of the troops had amything to do with the suspension of the dance by his peoplo five days 8go, Big Road was frank enough to admit that it bad, and that he thought the dance would have continued, had the troops not appeared At the agency. A couple of well known business men who tame in from Gordan last night told me a good one on Dave Moffutt, the well known Wyoming oil land man who lives in Gordon. ed about the hdians the other day. He is a great lover of ehildren and the thought seized upon his fevered brain: “What if the Indians should attack our public schools while the little ones were all therei” And 1mmediately he set about to do what de you think!—Erect a sod fortification all around it. The job was a big one, as the building is two stories high, but David is a great sod mechanic, With the assistance of J.J. Joyce,amerchant of the town ana several of the pupils he kept at the job, day and nigut, until he had reared a high sod wall all around the school house. Since its completion it is said that he has been a con- stant and trembling visitor to that same school, as he says, for the purpose of ascertaining the exact degree of profi cioncy bewg attuined by the pupils, But many people are ready to swear that Dave's solicitude for ascertaining the the proficienc of the pupils is due simply and solely to his desire to reap & big shave of the fruits of his sod barricade, 1 had a very urgent invitation today from a certain chief to eat roast puppy with him @Thanksgiving day, but a previous invitation to dine on canary bivds prevented my accept- fugz.

D., via Rushville, Neb, Nov, 26.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bre,)—The first case of the imprisonment of an Indian during this scare occurred this af- ternoon, when a brave named Little, who drow a scalping knife on Agent Royer ashoj time ago and then ran away, was captured by the Indian polico and locked up. He is said 10 boa bad all-round ghost prancer, and h s attempt on Royer's life is likely to go ha'd with lam, The sigoal corps under command of Licu- tenant Chrisman put in the morning at prac- fice duty with very complimentary resuits, They can talk to one anotber at a distance of forty-five or fifty miles, which is about thirty miles better than the Indians can do. All the troops stationed here were called out on the prairies toduy, and with some five thousand ochre-faced and feather-bedecked Indians as spectators went through theentire manual of fighting in a manner that was most interesting and assuring to witness. Doublo quick runs and charges of a mile or more were oxecuted with a spivit and carnestness that made the red children of all ages hug their blankets several yards tighter and give big grunts, The health of the entire camp continues excellent and everybody is in splendid spivits, C. H. C Scotty Phillips' Report, Cuicaco, Nov. General Miles tonight ree ed o telegram from Governor Mellette of South Dakota, conveying intelligence brought in by Scotty Phillips, a ranchman who was a scout in 1870 and 1879, The gov- ernor veuches for his good character and judgment. Phillips reports his opinion there will be an uprising pretty soon. A few days g0 twelve bucks, well armed, stopped at his house on their way from Rosebud to the camp on South Pass Creck. They were very surly and made varue threats, Phillips knows all of them, Yellow Thigh being the leader. A rauchman named Wald- ron also reports to Governor Melletto that Indians killea quite a number of his cattle recently, Phillips says everybody who has been among Indians any length of time expects an uprising soon. Snort Bull's headquarters are at Pass Creek where a dance has been going on for months. Phillips and Waldron think it is the point fixed for concentration.

What makes the matter more serious is the report that army officers have been ordered to capture Short Bull and some other leaders. Phillips and Waldron are sure such an attempt will pre- cipitate bloodshed. In case of an outbreak grave apprehensions are felt for the settlers in the countries to the north, as roving bands of Indians can scatter up there and destr overything long before troops can catch them, A Hopeful View, : A S.

Rusnviiie, Neb., Nov. 26.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]—The Seventh regiment of cavalry and one company of artillery under the command of Colonel Forsyth, from Fort Riley, arrived here this morning and will de- part for the agency this afternoon. This is the finest and best disciplined body of soldicry that has yet arrived, aund the town is thronged with people from the country and nearest towns witnessing the sights, After viewing the avrival of the soldiers during the past few days the last vestige of fear of the Indians has apparently departed from the settlers of this vicinity and it is believed tbat the impression made on the redskins will be equally subduing. rt Uneasy. ART, Neb,, Nov, 26.--[$8pecial Telegram to Tue Brk.|—Av uneasy feeling pervades the inhabitants of this place, especially the female portion, tonight over a rumor which floated into town today that a band of Indians is moving down the reservation from the direction of Rosebud. The rumor is doubtless false yetthe town being entirely without a means of defense and only twenty- two miles from the reserve it does rot take much of arumor to cause a fever of excite- ment.

Bostoy, Mass, Nov, 20— President Adams, in his address of resiguation, said, in part: “As you areall awave, changes, both large and significant in character, have, during the course of the financial complication now going on, taken place in the ownership of the company's stock. Interests with which I have never been in sympathy and whose confi- dence I fail to command, have become lead- ing factors in the situation, and, as a result of these changes, my position has been rendered false and embarrassing. The contiuance of such a state of affairs can be for the best in- terest's of no one, nor personally am I willing to oceupy a position of diminished confidence a moment longer than necessary. ¥rom a po- litical pointof view alone, with congress about to assemble, it is above all essential, with & proper regard for the peculiar posi- tion occupied by the Union Pacific, that who- ever represents itshould be understood to represent ciearly and unequivocally its whole ownership. This I no longer do. Accord- ingly, I feel assured that political and most probably financial disaster also should hardly fail to result from the mutual lack of confi- dence existing at this time between the head of the company and any considerable and in- fluential interest among the stockholders,’ A Matter for Coagratulation.

It also vindicates me in my decision concerning the trafic contract of the Union Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern, I have no doubt that the Union Pacific will hereafter treat all its east- ern connections alike and harmony will be re- stored.
