Gen. Miles Says II Is His Belief that the

MiNKror.is, Mr.'.l.. Nov. 8. Maj.-Ocn.
Nclon A. Mi'c-, of tlic United States army,
na- in 5t. I'aul yesterday, accomjianlcl by
iir.ibort)f a military men. He v.a. toudered
a reception by the Loyal Lesion lat ii'gui
! at rs o'clock, at tb Hotel Uynn, tfler which
JliO frtjr ircnt-cinti
When Gen. Mile. Was a-ked about the In
tlian jne-iah craze in the k aud north
west, ln spoke quite freely. He hs ju-t
rettirnwl from an extojM'cd trip iu Utah,
Montana and tl Vhvyennc reservation,
n here he ha- personally investigated the
ir.ie. He said concerning it:
The Indian tiibe; in the di-tricts T h.-r.
islted are repotted to believe ilml a MiS
i:ili 1i;ii eonif who U t F0tore them to
their former ?Iory, l)r!is hack the buffalo
and drive the white- from the land. 1 have
learned that thN belief eNt- union? the
variou. tribs of Siouv. Choyentie. lMack
fetl, ?lio-lione-. til othet t5Ir-v Iu all
the craze hah etend-d ,Iteen tribe-., the
snake Indiana 1viuz the only one to re
pudiate it, Tlieie 1-, no diubt but that
many of the Indian-- holding tliii bvlief in
the Indian Mi -!ah arc Inceie. mid "omc
few ha certain Ij i'e:i -otiio pvrs.m whom
they ti ok to be ih:l : -i ti. several
small parties of Indians haMVoae westward
from their trlb'-, tn sriie point, .which, a
neai lis I can heat'. is In N'evndtt,
and thete they hav '. civ shown
MinielKMly di-JiiIs.il a- the Mi-siah. and
havo snoki'u with liim. I am inclined to
lullei' that there is more than one ,er.son
tmpei-.ciuatin? the Mi's-iah. as when iou
'ive sj ,ken Willi him lie has replied In the
Hou laiuruage. and t lllackfei-t he ha
sp ken tlieir tongue, and s. ,,t; with the
lepri entative of each -nation or tribe,
speaking their own bunjuaze to each.'
"1 cannot stnte positIely," hecontinued,
"who is vs)oitsil)h for this imposition upon
the Indians, but it is my belief the "Mor
mons are the prime movers in it. This is
not a hard statement to livlieve. for there
are 200,000 Mormon, tuid they themselves
claim to believe in prophets and spiritual
m inifcstatloiis and they even now claim"
hold fntet eour-o with the spirit of Joe smith.
Ucsides. tliey have liad missionaries at work
anion? the Indians for many years, atid
have made many converts.
Gt-n. Miles does not think the new belief
will result in any outbreak ami bloodshed,
although ho admits it is hard to tell what
may come.
"It is notcwotthy." said Gen. Mlk, -that
thi so-railed Mi-siah tells the Indians that
when he conn to reisn over them fire arm8
will no longer bo u-etl or necessary He
tills them also that with his cotiiiuz the
dead Indians will all be rai-'vl to life, the
buffalo will i eturn. and he will d: aw a line
behind on which he will pather all the In
dians, and then lie will roll the earth back
upon the whites. This has naturally ccitcd
the Indians and lare numbers have ac
cepted the new belief. Anion? those who
have done so none are more ardent than
Httini Hull, who is intensely Indian in all
his ideas."
"Those who have seen t lie impostor say he
is mil !1 led up and dizuised 'o that they do
not see his face, but I believe that lui i- a
llull-blooded white. The argument the In
dian, use iu discussinz this matter is that
the whites have had tlieir Messiah, and
the Indians now have theirs. That if it i
reasonable for the whites to believe in a
Messiah, it is reasonable for the Indians to
do so too, and that they haveas much riclit
to have an Indian Messiah as the whites
have to have a white Mi-siah. The situa
tion is not alarming; in any way. and do not
know whether any action will be taken by
the government resardin? the matter, un
til after I have made my rejwrt."
THE LARCEST EVER MADE.
Was Hie Output ot tln Minneapolis Flour
Mills Last AVeck Oilier Millto-; Notes.
Mineai'Olis. Minn. Nov. ?. Tlie output
of Hour last week was one of the largest
ever made by tho Minneapolis mills, says
the Abrtjtff-n Miller. The nineteen mills
ruunin? producid 10.030 ban els for the
week, averacin? :!0.010 daily. a?aiiist 137,s50
barrels the week before, and 17:;.0'J0 ban els
the week befoto. and l?:;.r,Dt) barrels for the
corresponding time iu lssn. ami i.-,o,CO) bar
tels in lsjs. xiie mill- continue to run very
stronsly. in anticipation of the early shut
tin? off of lake transportation, and to-day
are ?rlnd!n? at the rate of :X000 bar
rels per twenty-four hour-. If the mar
kets should not improve after winter
raft- are put into effect, it is ?cneraliy be
lieved that there will be a lar?e curtailment
of output, several of the mill- have im
provements in contemplation which will in
volve considerable shutdowns, and any
continued dullm in Hour will probably be
taken advantage of to eeeutethem. Lower
win at ha- made tlour rathei (juiet the p-i-t
week, and the mills as a rule have srounil
considerably more than they have sold. A
few firms report tlie sale of their full out
put, but they are exception-. The demand
for patent-from ea-tei n cilie- lias been of
the poorest. There continue-to be a six id
deal of biudiu? from foreigner- for baker-.

THE SEAL OF DOOM.
An Cuiqita Comparison Made Kesurding
the 1'rr-eiit Knlisli Cuverninrnt.
LoMox. Nov. s. Speakin? at Carlisle.
Mr. Gladstone aid that if the clause con
tained in the licetisin? bill submitted to the
hou-e of commons last -prin? by the gov
ernment had become law it would co-t the
country i.-.'OO.OOO.OOO to purchase forfeited
license- from publicans. Parliament, lie
-aid. was now wearin? out its life. The
government i avoidinc di olution as a
man with a bad -tooth avoided dentistry.
The recent bye-elections for member- of
the house of commons had set the seal of
doom upon a Ion? endured iniquity and
pointed to the besinnin? of an era of peace!
Mr. Gosehtn. chancellor of the exchequer,
speakinz at Halifax last nisht. denied that
the result of the bye-election- proved that
the cau-e of unioni-ra was faillu?. A few
reverses at outpo-ts were not ?oin? to de
termine the issue of a creat campaign. The
Glad-tonians. he said, re-imbled advertis
in? quacks promisln? relief from every kind
of human ill; the unionists would do their
best to Sad genuine remedies for existin?
evils. He wa- confident that the steady
good sense of the country would approve
honest methods of social .and political pro?
reis in preference of tru-iin:- to the guid
ance of quack-.
At a meeting in the evening Mr. Goschen
said that Mr. Gladstone had an open mind
on many questions repectin? which Lis
party and country might expect a lead, and
his remaiks about theni.litary and rival
expenditures provoked the inquiry whether
he intended to reduce the military and
naval services if he got a chance

They are getting very much excited and
declare that if Powers does tut get a fair

they claim they have the ncoes-ary two

The Democratic Victory General.
Chicago. Nov. 8. At la-t the returns
from the -tate of Illinois have become -ufii-ciently
complete to announce deci-ively the
re-ult on the state ticket. The democrats
have won. and Edwin S. Wil-on of Olm-y. i
elected -tate treasurer by 11.43'! and llenry
Uaab. of Helleville. superintendent of pub
lic instruction by 3,.H4. No compilations
have been made yet on the tru-tee-hip of
the University of Illinois, but the indica
tions are that the three democratic nomi
nees have al-o been elected bv a slight, ma
jority. Tlie leturns which furnish tills re
sult are official from all counties in the
state except eight. These have been care
fully estimated, but as they have hereto
fore generally given democratic majorities
there can be no doubt that the vote here
with announced is -iibstantial'v isirreM
Not until to-day have the ti publican- of
Illinois realized the full extent if the ava
lanche which ha- obliterated the old-time
majority in thi-state, i'urthrr leturn- to
day -how that in addition to tie democratic
gains heretofore announced in their con
gressional districts t'oiigr.stiieii Pajs.n

The great delay in arriv ing .a an authen
tic conclusion iu this state ha- been due to
uncertainty of the re-ult in cok county.
Never in the hi-tory of tlie state have the

scratched, and in Cook county tlie result en

Merriam, rep., S2,J20; Wilson, dem., 80,663;
Owen, alliance, 52,440; Merriam's plurality
1,557. The other rrcuniit-s ana ofllclal flg
tites irom some of the counties already in
cluded in the count may change this a little
but not materially.
Gov. Merriam ran behind his ticket and
all the rest of the republican state ticket is
elected save auditor1. ltiernarn. dom., vvltli

The alliance vote will probablv be increased

S2.COO FOR A HEAD.
A Remarkable Incident iu the Life of Tom
Starr, the Indian Desperado,
Akomouk, I. T. Nov. A The remarkable
career of old Tom Starr, the notorious
Cherokee desperado, which has lately ap
peared iu print, recalls an Incident in his
life, the plainest statement of which sounds
like a romance. Hill West was old Tom's
brother-in-law aud the most powerful
man of ids day in the Cherokee nation.
A blow from his list wa- its deadly as a
Winchester bullet. With this formidable
weapon he killed several men and a law
was pas-ed declaring Hill's list a dc-idly
weapon. Old Tom and Hill had been close
companions, but one day they quarreled
over the division of the spoils of a plunder
ing expedition. West struck at Stair, but
the wily savage dodged the blow and at the
same time deftlv placed a long. ke,n knife
blade between the former"- ribs. This was
the tragic end of Hill We.-t. At thi- time
there was a reward of ?2.0oo offered for
West's head and 55.000 for that (A Starr.
Old Tom was in need of ready cash and de
termined to run the ri-k of losing his own
head by trying to secure the reward on that
of his brother-in-law. so. after killing
West, he cut off his head, put it in a gunny
ba2 aud proceeded to Tahlequah. the cap
ital, where lie presented his gory charge to
the chief, with the proof that it wa-the
right head, and demanded the reward. The
chief and the treasurer are both old men,
and they knew Old Tom's reputation. They
also knew that the reward of West's head
was only 52,000, while that foe Old Tom's
was 35.000. Hut Starr wa- there hira-t-lf.
and meant business. At the muzzle of :i
.-i-shooter the trea-ur r forked over tho
S2.000, and Old Tom departed with the
money, to the delight and astonishment, of
the people of lalcquah, without killing a
pe: sou.

fest, to all who will consider the subject.
, The military policy of the United States
will never require such defense on the
northetn frontier as was proposed by the
fortification board of 1S5, and carefully
selected garrisons as a nucleus for the con
centration of force In an emergency .ro
suggested Instead.
'Satisfactory progress has been made at
Watervlijt in the fabrication of experimen
tal guns and mortars of the highest type."
Gen. Scholleld describes the straits to
which the depart ment has been put by past
legislation reducing the number of privates
In the army. He wants the limit raised to
at least .10,000 and says that without this
numlwr in neac th organization cannot be
made thoroughly effective mid cannot be
relied uron for the service which may be
required of tlie regular troops in an eiuer
gency. and before ranks can be filled by le-
j emits or volunteers called Into the Held. In
this connection Ibe general suggests that
! whenever such incretice 's madn, provision
be made for the organization of a battalion
1 of young men between the ages of 10 aud
20 vears, selected with respect to tlieir In
cHigeree ud good character with a view
to their education tor Jhe service as non
commissioned officers and officers either of
' tne regulr forces or militia, privilege being
given to such young ineii to enlist for a
i egular period service or to receive honor
able discharge at tlieir own option at tho ex
piration of thecourseof instruction. Such a
school would be of . cry gre:,t value to tho
, military service of the country. It Is stig
1 gt-ted that ?tep? b" tak-n without delay to
1 organize in all of the seaboaui Mates a duo
' proportion of heavy artillery, militia bat
teries for the service of fortifications in
those tates and that these battel ics be re
ported to tlie w-.r d-p-irt'ee-it in order that
places of instruction be a tgncrt them
where they can spend all the encampment
in company with the regular troops and
under tho !'isructIon of accomplished ar
tillery officers. Keglnie'Ua! jrgaiuzatloiis
for such artillery batteries are not hece
sery. In the interest of ecem my. probably
biennial, instead of annual instruction of
the infantry troops for field exercise will be
found sufficient."
lit conclusion Gen. Schofield ?ys several
measures enact. d during the present cou

with which the duties of the army have

TEMPLE ON THE PLAINS.
j Curious Old Morm..:.' "in 'p -
ukk City. Erected by thil "ftanderin
Saints-iJtlirf State J"w.
Near Nebraska Citv and c'ouo by the
Missouri river there stands an ol'l ntl i
inassivo building of stono, square an'I
plain in ftrchltoi'ttiro; its surroundings
romrh and bare and ahoj-ether uninvit
ing. It i in" t renige, half fort, halt
temple, of tlie Mormon?. In 1S47-S,
when the Mormons were driven out of
Nauvoo by tiie angry mobs, their templd
burned end tlieir prophet slain and they
took up their wearisome march across
the plains to found a new clly In Utah,
they camped whero this building now
stands to rest on their march. They re
solved to erect a temple in houor of
Joseph Smith on tlie spot, a house of
refHirc for ottior emigrants who migiii.
,t , -, ,i, , ,t,
come thttt wty on their niaroh to the
promised land. Tift -itire company
labored upon a stono quarry for ft nnni-
bcr of days until enough material fcacj
beCtl secured for the temple, and
then tho Worl was left in the
hands of svpral uiPchttii hS and a niim-
V.CT Of htboriTS, while tllJ rnialn(itjr
continued on th journey along the trail
westward. It was not t!H the next spring
that the temple was hntsiied. It was
used as a fort for tlieir defense against
several Indian attacks. It also became
the tomb of many. Among a train of
emigrant that crossed the river in ISIS
were an old Ornitan couple, new con
verts to the faith. They seemed to be
friendless and homeless. The march
acrosu the country and the cold and ex
posure of winter was too much for tho
old pilgrims, already worn out with age,
and when the half-completed temple was
readied the old man died. The death of
her husband shook the faUh of the
xvoman and she would not continue
her journey westward. She remained
for several weeks with the workmen
at the temple, and during the day made
almost hourly trips from the house on
the bluffs to the gravo at the river and
back again. Her wearied ttep and the
heavy tap of her walking stick upon the
stony path were heard from morning till
night. One morning, after the temple
was about completed, the old German
woman was found dead in her cot. It
was a tradition of the Mormons that her
spirit rciislted the scene nightly and
that tlie tap of her walking stick could
bo heard along the path of her husband's
grave. Tho building was soon aban
doned by the Mormons and was finally
occupied for a brief time by a settler,
but he too was driven away by tlie tin-c-asv
spirit of the old woman, who. it
was said, visited the spot to guard a
treasurr of gold which she and her hus
band had burled near tho temple.
