PANTHER CREEK. N. C 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. SHIP BUILDERS FAIL. Si'pkkior Cot'BT—Hon. W. H. Fish, judge; C. B. Hudson, solicitor-general; J. II. Allen, clerk, L.

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. An All-Around Scamp. BlierviELO. Ala..
