Neb. , Xev. 24.-Speelal [ Telegram to TUB
Din , ] The Indians nro slowly starving to
death. That is the real , the way down ,
deep cause of this war scare.
"Tho Indians hero don't got enough to cat.
Their government allowance , of rations Is
next to n starvation allowance , " said General
Brooke last night.
"My eyes have been opened very wldo
since coming hero , " continued the com
mander of the department of the Platte In
the presence of A gents Hoyer nutt Cooper
and Tin : Bnn correspondent ,
"Thcso Indians cannot do farming In
this loealRy , nnd I sco It. Ono good
look nt the land is enough to show
that. There is nothing for them
to do to make extra money. They nor any
body els6 can live satisfied upon the amount
of rations that they are getting.1
"What are thoyl" lie nsltcd , addressing H.
O.Pugb , Issue clerk'of the supply depart
ment.
"They nro gettlngthls , " replied Mr. Pugh :
"Ten pounds of bacon , 8 pounds of beans , 150
pounds of bcof , 1 pound of baking powder , 4
pounds of coffee , 50 pounds ot flour , 52 pounds
of salt , 2 pounds of soap , 7 pounds of sugar. "
"This is the quantity allowed to 100 rations
for 100 Indians per day for two wecUs , "
added Mr. Pugh.
"Too little , too little , entirely
too little , " oxclalrired the general with much
emphasis. "Who of us don't Unow that the
people cannot live on that. I don't ' care
\vhcthcrthoyarolndlansorwhat they aro.
People can't bo satisfied , contented or any
thing else If they don't have enough to cat
and the government should bo finding it out
pretty spon. "
"For ono thing , " said Agent Royer , "they
don't got nil the bcof that's coming to thorn.
A bcof weighing cloven hundred pounds
when It gets hero to us shrinks to seven hun
dred before it gets to mo Indians
nnd the Indians are the losers. "
"Ilut It is not the hoof nlouo that Is short1
rcsu.ncd the general , "It id about everything
else o.xccpt | ioap , and there scums to bo
plenty of that , "
Hero the subject was dropped by the talk
ers , and with nn emphatic declaration that
they wore excessively sleepy they retired.
A little calculation shows how very much
ground there Is for General Brooke's opin
ion. AVhero Is the person who would like to
try to Keep soul and body together the year
round and expect to feel comfortable on less
than two ounces of meat a day ! In
nlno cases out of ton is not the
reply that such an apportionment would la
uro the answer "slowly starving to deathl"
The little conversatiorrquoted above makes a
reliable excuse and good backing ; for mo to
sny Just what has been at the point of my
pencil ever slnco my arrival hero and what
impressed 1110 moro than anything else , the
phost dance craze not oxcoptcd : TViur-llfths
of the Pine Kidgo agency Indians , that I
have seen , are poor as crows crows that
have not had. carrion to pick for njmonth.
Their hunger is continually talking to you
out , of every feature of tbclr faces.
There nro some few well-to-do Indians hero
the Indian employes of the agency and'a
few' others who earn regular wages which
make It possible for thorn to keep their
etomuchs comfortably full. But the great
mass of them have no way whatever to earn
a penny. Is It very much of a wonder , then ,
that thcso people In whoso nature suporstltu-
tlou is the dominant factor , make haste to
catch at so tempting a fantasy as that of anew
now Christ , a new Messiah and
the ghost dnnco , the accompanying ;
Idea of whloh Is that , on a day
near at hand the white man who has stolen
their lands and Is now starving them
to death will bo driven from the face of the
earth ; that a now Messiah will coma and
bring back with him the buffalo and all the
varieties of wild garao In tbo old time plcnti-
fulncsst
General Brooke's eyes were opened no
wider than have been those of many another
person who has been called hero byrcasoa of
this scare concerning an uprising.
Tboovontof the morning-was the issuance
of the scanty rations and the food '
'j
of thcso rod faced pensioners will
bo Issued to thrco thousand peoplo. Tbo
squaws como for It , bringing queer little
tacks for each ono of the articles. They are
formed in long rows or lines Just as
voters form at tbo polls on election
days. All nro togged out In very
dizzy nnd different patterned blankets
3r
i. and about a third have papooses on their
backs. On Wednesday the beef will bo is-
Bucdon the hoof , and It Is sola to bo ono of '
the most exciting scenes in the programme ot
the Indian life of today. .
A Sioux chief , named Big Turnip carao In
this morning nnd reported that the Big Road
and No Water dancers had deckled to come
in nnd quit dancing , but scarcely anyone
credits the report. Later In the day No
Water and Little "Wound appeared at the
agency In person. These nro tbo two
chief * of whom the authorities have
boon so very apprehensive , and who have
noted as loading promoters of the dance.
When they came In nearly everybody looked
askance. Never before , perhaps , were two
Indian chiefs nioro severely lot alone by white
people among whom they had como than
were these particular two , THE BEK corro-
tpondcnt hunted up his Interpreter and con
fronted the alleged Idugs of terror. Doth
were la shabby white man's nttiro ,
nnd had eyes that made him wish
ho was In almost any other
place than within the range of their gaze.
Uidlioaddld the talking , aided bywblsporod
counsels from Little Wound , Hosaldt
"Wo much think good of you. You print
paper. Paper tells us what the great
father want us to net. But
tome papers sny wo Injun bad ,
No , wo not bad. Papers say bad , but they
say not right. Wo will obey tUo great father
In Washington. He toll us to stop dance ,
then wo will atop. Wo llko white man , but
bo sny wo no llko him. Whlto wan wrong to
my that. "
"Why did you not stop dnnclng when
Agent Koyor told you to , weeks nRol" !
asked.
"Indian police toll us stop , wo no bellovo
Indian 1'ollce. Great father say atop , wo
atop. "
"Do you still bellovo that if you keep on
dancing the buffalo and other game will come
back as in the old duysl"
, both of the chiefs sticcrcd , and No
Water replied ! "J'o , no. Buffalo ho never
como on pralrlo again ; xvhlto man shoot htm
too much. "
"Have your people stopped dnncingl"
"All stop no dajico no more. "
"Whyl"
"Great father no like it"
"Who told youl"
"Wo know. You paper man , now tell
whlto man just as wo tell you , Do not bo
bad heart to Indian. Toll everybody wo
Hko whlto man , This nil wo say now. "
After the interview , I told General Brooke
whit the chiefs had said , nnd
asked him what ho thought of the declara
tions of friendliness and that they had Riven
up the ghost dance permanently , ills reply
was , "Beltovo nothing of it , Bellovo nouo
of It at all. "
Companies II and G of the Second
Infantry , Omaha , and Company D
Ninth Cavalry , from Fort MclCiiiney ,
arrived nt the agency this afternoon and wo
nil breathed , n great deal easier when they
came Into camp. They were greeted In a
subdued but a heartfelt manner. All are in
peed fighting trim , Fronitbemlt wasloruned
that the en tire Seventh regiment of cavalry
passed through Valentino today en route to
Itaebud agency.
Frand Girard , the noted scout , came in
with the cavalry from Fort AlcIClnnoy. Gen-
cralBrooko and Agents Hoyer and Cooper all
told mo today that there would bo no council
between them and the Indians. They said
they proposed to stand on the rule that
once telling was enough. The Indians had
been , ordered some thno ago to stop tbo
.dnnco , nnd they ( the oOldnls ) didn't nroposo
to do any pow wowing with them whatever.
The arrival today of Tnr. BIB of Sunday con
taining the exclusive news of the discovery
of the plot toentrap General Brooks and his
soldiers and Llttlo Wound's _ startling mani
festo to Agent lloycr preclp'ltatcd a genuine
sensation upon the camp and ngcncy nnd the
enterprise of Titn BEE was complimented nnd
In the wannest nnd most enthusiastic terms ,
The troops from Omaha , as well as these
irom other points , nro getting along as well
ns could bo expected under the circumstances.
The Omaha boys received about a bushel of
letters from their lady friends today , which
brought to their faces some of the brightest
smiles I have over seen In my life.
An overly hilarious Indian last night gave
us our first twinge of scare by letting forth a
yell which old scouts pronounced , to have the
genuine warpath strain in it. Tbo police
captured him after an exciting chase , took
him bcforo General Brooke and Agent Hoycr
who finally ordered him released , It scorning
evident that ho mount no harm.
Things are Just at that point today where
the Iking of a guu would undoubtedly pr
clpltato a flght to the finish. 0. H , C.

COM.OXEL HUGHES' OFIXIO\ .
Ho Tnlks nf the .Situation at Pine
llldfjo Aficnoy.
Colonel Hughes , chief quartermaster of
the department of the Platte , returned yes
terday from the Pine Kidgo agency , nt pres
ent the scene of the Indian disturbance.
Speaklnglast night to a BEI : reporter about
the situation up there Colonel Hughes said :
"Taero had been no real , warlike demon
strations nt the time I loft tbo I'l nellldgo
agency , by either tbo Indians or the troops.
At the. Invitation of General Brooke the
friendly Indians , or these who nro not under
the Influence of the fanatical craze , bad como
into the agency in very Inrgo numbers nnd
were camped ad around in close proxlrqlty to
General Brooke's ' headquarters. They wore
to receive the monthly distribution of rations
today.
"In company with Colonel Ludington I
drove from the agency to Hushvlllo , a dis
tance of twenty-four miles , without an escort
cert , 1 remarked to General Brooke as wo
left that It didn't ' look much to mo like wnr
times for him to permit the chief quartermas
ter to drive over what Is supposed to bo dan
gerous ground without a guard. But we saw
no Indians after wo got a short distance from
the agency. "
"Do you think the ghost , dancers will have
to bo whipped Into subjection before they as-
sumoa peaceable disposition again ? "
"Now you are asking a difficult question.
It Is next to Impossible to predict or guess
what an Indian will or will not do. It Is
probable that forcible methods may have to
bo applied , but I am of the opinion that
when the troops , which were to arrive nt the
ngcncy today , reach the camp and the In
dians sco the ability of the government to
whip them into good order if necessary , nnd
when tboy have thno to consider the fact that
winter Is almost upon them and-they must
have provisions , they will quietly submit to
the orders of the war department and gradu
ally slip away from the camps wherq the
ghost , dances uro in progress. They will , I
thimr , grow tired of the dance pretty soon
and fall back Into a more orderly state of be
havior without the necessity of bloodshed.
But you can not tell what may bo in the
minus of these red men. "
"Will General Brooke have troops enough
at his command by this evening or tomorrow
morning to compel the Indians to desist from
the barbarous and fanatical craze which has
taken such a hold upon thcml"
"I should not like to answer that question.
You bad bettor see tbo adjutant general ,
Colonel Sheridan. "
"But what do you thtnkl"
"Well , If you must know , I will say I think
General Brooke will be master of the situ
ation when tbo troops reach him that wore
on the way last night and were expected to
arrive at the ) agency today. "

WAWUMOTON , D. O , , ir.M. )
Postmaster General Wauamakcr has much
faith In postal savings banks and ho will tfivo
evidence of it in his forthcoming annual re
port. Ho believes that one of the secrets of
the causes of there not being money In circu
lation lies in the fact that In many sections
of the country millions of dollars are secreted
under carpet1) ) , in bed clothing nnd elsewhere
or buried ia the ground by persons who are
afraid of the stability ot the banking Institu
tions or who , having but u few dollora , are
timid about opening accounts of deposit with
banks. Mr. Wnnamakcr says bo will not nd-
vocato a system of postal savings banks
which , will bo lu the way of private Institu
tions , but on the contrary they will bo a help
to bankers , Ho thinks the establishment of
postal savings banks will provo a great bless
ing to the poor pcople'.who have never learned
the fact that there is more tu saving ; than In
making money nnd the latter gener
ally roiuiros the ability. Ho be
lieves that It will cducato people into
the wisdom of saving by means
of banks aad especially got them into the
habit of making deposits. Tbo banks are to
bo established if Mr. AVannamakor's recom
mendations are carried out nt past ofllccs for
small places and not whcro they will compete
with any character ot savings institution lllio
building loan associations. The localities
will determine themselves where and when
the savings accommodations shall bo added
to the postoWccs , for there are no banks to
bo established but deposits facilities In con
nection with postolllccs and the petition of
the patrons of olllcos are to determine the lo
cation.
NO PENNT rOSTAOE.
The postmaster general does not bollevo
that penny letter postage will bo a fact under
several years , as there exists a feeling oven
among the advocates of the proposition that
the postofllco department should bo self-
sustaining- , and already there Is n ro > fular
annual deficiency amounting to about fcl.OUO-
000. The receipts from letter postage Is
about fc)3,000,0l'0 ) ' n year , and of course this
would bo cut in half If penny postage were
adopted. Tbero would bo a partial recovery
of receipts by un Increase of letter wrltiug ,
but it Is thought many years would elapse
beforohalf the decrease of 31,000,000 ! ) annually
would bo returned by the Increase. There is
now sustained by the department nn annual
loss of about $ iy,000,000 by the
cheap transmission of printed mat
ter , then the dead-head matter
from the federal eovernmcnt would amount
to 8,000,000 u year. If paid tor those two
items alone would inoro than make up the
loss from the adoption of penny postage , and
yet their change to any other .system would
bo unpopular. ' Congress gives very stint-
Incly tao Uotlconcy | which already accrues ,
thus showing that the constituency of that
body contends that the postal service should
bo self-subtalnlng. Jlr. Wanamakcrbas beep
working for a year * to perfect arrangements
with England , Germany and Franco whereby
there will bo seaport ofllces established on
the inter-ocean ships , that all foreign mails
may'bo mailo up similar to that prepared by
domestic postal clerks , which will enable the
postal authoritici at the seaboard to Immedi
ately forward all foreign mail as soon as it
Is received In this or other countries. Ho
will show in his report that ho has almost
perfected these arrangements.

Professor Smart of the Indiana university
of agriculture Is In the city and says the In

practical experiments with sugar beets and
llnds from the analysis already madotbnt the
Hooslor production contains from fifteen to
eighteen per cent of pure sugar. This is con
siderably above the per cent of sugar found
in the beet grown in Germany and Franco ,
the greatest beet sugar producing countries
of tbo world. It has been ascertained at the
department of agriculture that those experi
ments nro being made at the agricultural col
leges in most of tbo status , and in nearly every

It Is bellovcd that should the products of the

TO MARK IT I'OrULAIt.
Considerable talk has been occasioned by
the proposal of Secretary Proctor to throv
open to the enlisted men the competition fo
vacancies In the gradcsof second lieutenants
It Is ono of the most notable stops taken ye
for making the mllltaryservlco popular. The
law already provides for the promotion o
enlisted men who have served two years 01
their passing a certain examination but Sec
retary Proctor declares that It is now possl
bio for company commanders to glvo these
valuable appointments to young men who
buvo enlisted for that solo purpose and wh
have not rendered any meritorious scrvlco
except to qualify for the examination tbu
excluding bona lido soldiers. This poss !
bllity arises from the provision in the preson
law requiring that the company commander
shall nominate the non-commissioned ofllccr
or privates as candidates for examination
While many enlisted men have been pro
motcd on absolute merit and on the strongtl
of tbo services they Uavo rendered I
Is still possible for n man to enlls
under the practical assurance of nsslgnmon
to a particular company and of a recom
mcndutlon for a commission as soon as th
law will allow. What the secretary pro
poses is that In order to Insure exact Justice
io all the initiatory steps should bo with the
men themselves , With the war dopnrtmcn
urging the now plan of competing for com
missions it may b fairly expected that there
will bo aa Increase In the uuiabor of recruits
who intend to try for commissions after the
prescribed service In the ranks.
