The Volrnno Ha. Cooled Down. Dnt
Fires of Discord K«maln.
Washington, Oct. 120. —The annual
report of Major General Nelson A.
Mil**, coniinamling the department of
the Missouri, is mainly an historical
review of the Sioux war of last winter,
its causes, episides and results. Among
the causes that resulted in the Sioux
outbreak, he mentions the gradually
increasing jmverty of the Cheyennes
and the Sioux, the insufficiency of their
rations issued by the government, and
the fuilure of the cro]>s in 1889 ami 1890
and the inability of the Indians to emi-
grate to other parts of the country. As
to the Messiah craze General Miles
says: "The Indians received the words
of prophecy from the Messiah with in
tense enthusiasm, thinking that after
years of distress and discouragement
their prayers had been heard, and that
they were about to enter into a life of
happiness for which they believed na
ture had originally intended them. The
fanaticism and superstition of these
people were taken advantage of by their
disaffected and designing lenders to en
3011 rage them to assnine hostilities to
ward the government and white jk.*o-
pie-"
In concluding his remarks on the In
dian outbreak, he suvs: "Notwith
standing the fact that the volcano has
cooled down, the fires of discord still
remain. Even while the hostages were
at Fort Sheridan they received com
munications from their friends in the
Sioux camps, stating that they had not
given up the conspiracy of a grand up
rising of the Indians, ami that the Utes
were ready to join the Sioux whenever
they were ready to resume hostilities.
Communications have been discovered
going on between the different camps,
iuciting the Indians to hostilities, and
even now (the report is dated Sept 14)
there is a delegation fron tne Indian
Territory absent, ostensibly to visit
relatives in the Arapahoe and Shoshone
reservations in Wyoming. They have,
in fact, come across the mountains,
und are now in the abodes of the sup
porters of the Messiah delusion near
Pyramid Lake, in Nevada.”
MAIL DELIVERED TO FARMERS.
COUNTY DIRECTORY-
A Scheme to Come l r p Before the Next
Congress.
New York, Oct. 20.—An organized
effort is under way among the fanners
to secure from congress free mail de
livery in conntry towns. The Fanners’
Alliance, the Patrons of Husbandry and
other orders are canvassing the mutter.
Letters are being written to the con
gressmen in favor of the project, and
petitions to congress for free delivery
nre being circulated in many parts of
the conntry The fanners assert that
the Sally mail delivery to their door
will add perceptibly to the money value
of their farms, and will bo worth still
more because it will keep them in touch
with the markets and outside world,
and rob farm life of its isolation and
monotony. The fanners nre writing to
the agricultural press that this conven
ience would enable them quite gener
ally to take the iluily palters, ns well os
to subscribe for local palters more liber
ally. In the American Agriculturist
for November, Postmaster General
Wnmimnker states definitely for the
first time that experiments lty the post-
office department for free delivery in
the fanning districts show that the in
crease of revenue more tlum pays all
increased expense. He believes that
universal free delivery would, there
fore. lie self-sustaining.

They Undertook to Perform Naval Work
at Too Low a Price.
Washington, Oct. 20.—The navy de
partment has been informed of the fail
ure of Harrison, Loring & Co., ship
builders, at Boston, who have contracts
for the construction of the armored
cruiser No. 11, at 8874.000, with a
premium for speed, and three steel tug-
boats at $32,300 each, bnt as yet bis
not determined its course in the matter.
The cruiser is about half finished and
the tngs are about fonr-fiftlis finished.
It Is said at the department that the
1 government is amply protected by the
bond of the contractors, which is more
than sufficient to insnre the completion
of the vessels. The only question to bo
determined is as to whether this slinll
be done by the government or by the
assignees. The latter course is’ the
most probable one. It is idso stated at
the deiKirtment that there lias been no
delay whatever in the matter of the
payments to Harrison, Loring & Co.,
and that all their applications for pay
ments have been promptly honored so
far as the progress of the work per
formed justified. The real cause of the
failure is thought to lay in the fact that
they undertook to do naval work at too
low a price.
