money is less than at present. Without reference to the subject ex-Comptroller of the Currency Knox, tho other day, explained tho closeness in the money market as it bears upon the bullion question by saying a greater amount of money was needed at present to move the products of the country than ever before, and the returns from sales are slower coining in than at any time in the past. The demand for settlements on the part of persons who have been and are now holding large blocks of bullion has compelled them to otter the bullion in immense quantities, andtbustbe market has been forced downward. If the banks could hare carried the bullion "bearsn longer, the slump would not yet ha?o come. A similar result follows in almost every branch of trade when a stringency in the money market ensues. Most dealers m products, be they corn and wheat, or gold and silvrr. borrow. They borrow of banks. When the latter get hard up, they demand of their short-time or call-borrowers a settlement, and the latter, beings unablo to find further accommodations, are compelled to sell their holdings. Sometimes serious breaks occur in the pork, corn or wheat markets by the heavy dealers having to sell to meet their borrowings. Thi&lis true of the decline in the bullion market at present, and it is expected that it will recover as soou as the demand for money is over. In connection with the clamor for free and unlimited coinage the present decline in bullion prices is important. A Treasury official said to this point this afternoon: "If we had free coinage uuder such times aswe have at present the federal government would have to shoulder the entire responsibility of the linancial condition of the -whole people, for there is a controlling balance of money always in the hands of those who deal in silver. Tho volume of the commodity is so large that an ample amount could be hypothecated at anytime to tide over the stringency in money matters. If there were at hand now $100,000,000 worth of bullion, on which no loans were made by banks, or it was in the hands of bankers and we had free coinage, how easy it would be to sell it to the government at the market value fixed oy the world and release the closeness in finance. Well, that seems like at easy way to avert a panic, but it would be a hard thing on the government, it would necessitate the keeping on hand of a large surplus, idle, to meet an emergency, and therefore either a larger circulating medium or a less amount of money in the hands of the people. "It would seem an easy matter to enlarge the volume of money through the silver problem by means of certificates upon bullion deposited, but as soon as we had free coinage so soon would there be commenced a hoarding of bullion for a rising market. Then when there came tho stringency it would bo a flood of silver at the increased value. It would operate something like the withdrawal of deposits in a bank in close times by the heaviest customers of the institution. With free coinage the government could make no calculations for an emergency. It would simply be necessary to keep a large idle surplus always on hands." . THE TARIFF UW WIIX 8TAXD.

It Will Re Given a Good Trial Refore Changes Are Made Hinder Twine May Re Free. Special to, the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Nov. 23. It is likely that the House will at an caTly day pass a bill placing binder twine upon the free list. This much seems to be the determination of the West. South and Northwest if nothing more is accomplished. What the Senate committee on finance will do with such a measure can only be conjectured, but it is the belief of one or two of the Republican members of that body that it will receive prompt affirmative action. This they say will probably be the only thing done toward changing tho McKinley law, with the possible exception of some minor changes relating to rebates, interpretations, and so forth, but in nowise altering rates of duties. The more the measure is discussed among Republicans in both houses the more firm grows the conviction that it should be given a good test before being . tampered with. The great trouble with the tariff laws which have been enacted in the past has been that fear has constantly been entertained that it would be early changed. The greatest advantage in a tariff law for protection lies in the fact that it attracts investments of foreign capital and increases the volume of money in the hands of the people at the same time it decreases the prices of manufactured goods by home competition in production. The McKinley law has come to stay. It will at least remain practically as it stands till beneficial results are felt and its full effect is known. THE RENOVATED BLUE ROOM. Exquisite Decorations of the Historic Parlor American Materials Throughput. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. - Washington. Nov. 23. The decoration of the Blue Parlor, the historio private reception-room . of the Executive Mansion, was completed yesterday. For several weeks it has been in the hands of E. S. Yergason, of Hartford, Conn., who has been pushing forward the work of redecoration with a view to completing it in time for tho reception of the Brazilian naval officers, who are to be here before the 1st of December. The oval fdrm of the room has been preserved, and the new decorations are of the historio blue, in exquisite shadings and gradations of color. The carpet, which was made by an American manufacturer from American material, is a Wilton in shades of steel or electric blue, patterned after a special design. The wood-work of the room is in cream and gold.. The dado and frieze are in hand-relief work in soft shades of blue, lighted up with gold. The chair rail and the picture molding are of cream and gold. Between them the wadded wall is covered with blue silk, of a graceful subdued pattern. This Bilk was made in an American factory.. In fact, everything about the new decoration is American, except the beautiful embossed silk plush with which the old frames of the historical fnrnituro of the Blue, lioom have been- covered. . Tho ceiling of the room has a beautiful relief border, with a shield at either end of the ovaL Within this border a summer sky ettect is introduced shading from morning light near the windows, to evening shadows at the other end of the oval. The light blue of the ceiling shades down through the blue of the walls into the darker blue of the carpet. The windows are hung in blue silk in liarmony with tho walls, carelessly draped over emblematic gilt rods. Above the curtains are carved panels, the central design carrying a gold eagle and those on either side gilt shields. The room will be lighted by electric light from lily sprays about the picture molding and a crystal chandelier in the center of the room. PRICES OF CARPETS. Concerted Action to Increase Them A Sur prise in Store. Special to St. Loo is Globe- Democrat. A New York carpet firm appears to be taking advantage of the McKinley bill to run up prices. A dispatch sent from New York to the Globe-Democrat a few days ago indi cates that the firm in question is engaged in this movement. Tho dispatch was as follows: New York. Nov. 19. The carpet manufactur ers. It arpears. have found it necessary to increase their prices materially in order to meet the increased cost of production, owintr to the advance in the dut3 on raw materials. John Eloane. of the firm or W . & J. Sloaue, said, to-day, that although tbe price of tanet miirht have been raised this fall somewhat, owing to tbe fact that for some time manufacturers had been sell inr at a los. tbe new price, which will go into etteot on Dec 1, are largely because of the in crease of duty. In regard to the amount of the increase in the price of carpets Mr. Sloano explained that it varied. Brussels carpet had been advanced 10 per cent., ingrains from o to 8 per cent., tapestry carpets only about -4 per cent. ana the higher qualities iroin a to to per cent. A fair interpretation upon this interview would seem to be that it was an invitation by indirection to all holders of carpets to advance their prices. At the height of the recent political campaign this firm wrote to a W ashing ton house which purchases car pets from the Sloanes. protesting against the retail price of this Y ashingtou iirm and suggesting a readjustment on a higher scale. The letter was in regard to differences which had arisen between tbe houses over what was claimed by the Washington house to be an overcharge. This letter, bearing the signature "V. & J. Sloane," after a reference to tho transaction in dispute went on to say: This is certainly very strong proof that the ruinous principle that is being followed labour market concerning prices is one en

tirely in the hands of the dealers, and can without any trouble be adjusted upon a proper basis. We found no difficulty whatever in getting these goods at the price we have charged, and we most positively refuse to make any further charges. If we were obliged to sell such carpets as these, made and laid, at $1.35 per yard, we would quit our retail carpet business." The Washington firm, however, continued to sell the Sloane carpets, which it purchased at the wholesale prices of that firm at the figure named. Heretofore the movement from New York to force up prices on accorfnt of the, McKinley bill has been secretly conducted. It would appear from the above interview with John Sloane as if consumers were hereafter to be handled more boldly. In this connection a very interesting item of information comes from New York to the effect thatthe alien importers and some American films who have also "been working to run up prices throughout the country have crowded jiuch immense stocks of all kinds of goods into the bonded warehouses that between this and February, when they must be withdrawn, there is certain to be a marked slump in prices. It is believed here that the concerted efforts from New York to inflate prices is prompted by the inside knowledge of the oig jobbers that there must be a sharp fall in prices within two months. Hence the present attempts to unload at advanced prices upon the small dealers. There re Eastern manufacturing firms which came before the committees of Congress and received generous treatment, and some who have had extensive dealings with the government, who were engaged in the business of run

ning up retail prices during tbe recent camt m X , I lit 1 A. ft- - A. 1 Dai go. lney are an nxeiy to near uuuut n in unpleasant shapes. ME. MILLS HAS IT ALL FIXED How, by the Grace of Luck, He Proposes to Govern the Country Next Yeiy. He Will Pass Free-Coinage and Free-Trade Laws and Sit Down Upon the Alliance Sub-Treasurj Bill. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 23. Congressman Mills, who arrived in Washington late last night, talked freely to-night about the result of the late congressional elections and about the action of the next Democratio House of Representatives." On the speakership question Mr. Mills is somewhat reticent, merely remarking-that he has determined to retire from public life at the close of the next Congress, and says that if he should be elected Speaker he would feel that his twenty years' oft service in the House had been rounded oft with the highest possible honors; but if he fails, he will not lose an hour's rest. Of the probable Action of the Democratic majority in the next House Mr. Mills says: 'The Democratic House in the Fifty-second Congress will meet the demand for more money by passing a silver free-coinage bill, which the Senate may or may not agree to, and which, if it ever reaches the White House, will probably be vetoed by President Harrison. That is all the legislation which we shall attempt in that line. It is idle to talk of the sub-treasury bill. The Democratic party can never, as long as it exists, which will be as long as it is true to strict constructionist ideas, indorse such an unconstitutional scheme. Mr. Tilden. in his letter to the Iroquois Clnb, stated the principle of the 'Democratic party in one sentence: 'The general government should do nothing for the State which the State can do for itself, and no government should do anything for the individual which he can do himself.' We ought never to get away from that doctrine. The Democratic party believes that tbe citizen is' able to take care of himself and run his own finances. We propose to let him do it and keep as far away from paternalism as possible." "The people," he said,-"have emphatically indorsed the position of the Democratic party on the tariti question. The Republicans were willing to have the necessary protection afforded infant industries, but they could not understand the necessity for doubling the protection on industries which had been established a hundred years. When the Democratic party has control of the House it will reduce the tariti on the necessaries of life. Of course, the bill will not pass a Republican Senate, but we will redeem our promises and force the issue on that line until we get the Senate and Presideut. If the Republican party persists in legislating against, the common people and in favor of the trusts and combinations, the revolt will be still greater uext time." Mr. Mills predicts the nomination of Cleveland by acclamation. He says tha( 'in New York the cause of tariti' reform has been nreached in every school-house by hundreds of young and enthusiastic Democrats, who are consumed by their convictions and are not afraid of the devil. A great change is being wrought in that State and tho politicians will be unable to stem tbe rising tide." , He regards Blaine as tbe strongest man on the. Republican side, but admits that Harrison may manipulate the federal inacbiuery so as to secure a ronomi- ; nation. "If he does," said Mr. Mills, "he -will go over the falls of Niagara as sure as DAILY WKATHEK BULLETIN. Local Forecasts. For Indianapolis and Vicinity For the twenty-four hours ending 8 p. m..

Women Carry the Day in All. the Methodist Churches at Lafayette. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, Nov. 20. The Methodists of this city have been voting on the question of admitting the ladies as delegates to the General Conference. There was not as much interest manifested as some thought there would be, but the result shows that the ladies, as usual, carry the day.' In tins matter, as in many others, the men rule the churches; but as the women rule the men, why they have things their own Tray, anyhow.

The Farmers' Al liance of this county held a meeting here, yesterday, to consider the proposition of starting a newspaper devoted exclusively to their interests. It was finally decided to begin the publication of a paper te soon as possible, and the publication will begin as soon as the plant can be put in. An effort was made to sell them the Democ , but they refused to have-any old organ under a new name, and will publish an entire ;y new paper. C. F. Siedworth, local editor of the Democrat, who is a member of the alliance, will, doubtless, be the editor of the new publication, which will start out with three thousand subscribers pledged to it.

About five hundred "sports" from Chicago witnessed the mill and backed Byan for about 2,000 at tbe ring-side. It was the intention to have the fight take place at Chesterton,, a little town below here, but the sheriff got wind of the fight, .and at once ordered the town bells rung, summoning the citizens, about three hundred of whom were sworn in as a sheriffs posse. , He flatly refused to allow the fightto proceed, and serious trouble would have resulted had the managers of the. fight persisted iu having it take place there.

Wasiuxgtox, Nov. 23. E. W. Fox. a well-known journalist, died in this city this afternoon of dropsy of the heart, lie was born in Bnttalo, N. Y., and was sixtytwo years of age. Hevent to St. Louis in 1850, and was tbe lirst president of the St. Louis Board of Trade. He came to Washington in 18S5, and, with Hon.

BEDS GROW MORE TURBULENT. Concluded from First Page. blunt instrument and knocked her down. The scoundrel then lied. No motive for the assault is known, and it is probable that he was drunk. Miss Wright's injuries are painful, but not serious. Two Indians'are under arrest, but have not been identified. To-lay's advices from Standing Bock continue favorable. Bations were issued yesterday, and Agent McLaughlin reports only a small number of bucks away. The military authorities' count shows that a large number did not appear, however, and to-day a scouting party crossed the river to the east side to look up the wandering Indians. All the schools at the agency are closed in on account of the excited state of the reds. An Indian council was held yesterday at the agency, and the friendly chiefs all avowed allegiance to the agent and reiterated their opposition to Sitting Bull and the Messiah doctrines. Forts Lincoln and Yates are both being reinforced, and another company is expected to arrive from Fort Keogh to-morrow. The best-informed people believe that there is small probability of hostilities being begun before spring, and by that time it is almost certain that the War Department will have troops enough in the vicinity to make any outbreak both dangerous and useless to the Indians. But in the meantime the couutry settlers are exposed to the threats and insults from roving bands, and are in constant fear of the results if the hostiles should attempt a raid. POINTS GLEANED AT WASHINGTON. Wyoming People Ask for Protection Increasing the Indian Police. Washington, Nov. 23. Secretary ' Proctor did not receive any information to-day from the seat of the threatened troubles with tho Indians. - He had a consultation, however, with General Schofield respecting matters in that seotion, in which the situation was talked over. The regiments of cavalry which it has been decided to send to the Pine Bidge agency are the Seventh, now' ' stationed at Fort Biley, Kan., and the Sixth, now in New Mexico and Arizona. The former, it is learned, started to Pine Bidge to-day. The Sixth Begiment is scattered at three or four different points in Now Mexico and Arizona, and it will require some little time to get the several detachments together. The regiment has been instructed to be in readiness to move at a moment's notice. These regiments are subject to General Miles's orders. " During the day Secretary Proctor received the following from Mayor Eliott, of Buffalo. Wyo.: The only protection to this portion of the country is one small company of infantry. , Our people have not arms or ammunition. Small bands of Indians are reported roving through the county. Scout Grouard believes this to be the objective point of these Sioux if they escape from tbe reservation. Send us troops or arms and ammunition, that we may protect ourselves." "Secretary Proctor says that all means necessary will betaken to learn tbe actual condition of matters in Wyoming. Mr. Belt, the acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs, is also: without any telegraphic advices to-day respecting the situation of affairs in the districts where trouble is feared. The agent at Pine Bidge, yesterday, requested authority of the' Indian office to employ an , additional number of Indian police to assist in maintaining order at that agency. ' This request, however, could not be grantod, as the quota of Indian police provided for by-law is about full. Subsequently Mr. Belt bad a consultation with the Secretary of tbe Interior concerning the matter, the outcome of which was that the agent was authorized to employ fifty-five Indians as scouts for the purpose desired. These scouts will perform the same duties and receive the same pay as police. THE SITUATION GRAVE. Indians at Pine Ridge Try to Quietly Surround the Agency. Special to the Itdianapolia Journal. Pine Bidge Agency, S. D., Nov. 2a The situation is certainly grave. The tronble is slowly reaching a crisis. The danger of the Indians camping in a circle about the agency became . so apparent Saturday night that orders were issued to-day for them to move to a barren sandy plain, at the foot of tbe buttes, to the north and along Wolf creek. In these places they will be in a bnnch, and their great village will be within the range of the Gatlingand Hotchkiss guns. About noon the criers of the different bands called out to the Indians to striko their tents and round up their horses and move to the new camping ground. The change was made within an hour and a half. Then it was discovered that nearly every tepee sheltered a carbine or a Winchester, but no effort was made to confiscate these arms. Agent Bo3'er has also received authority from Washington to hire fifty-tivo scouts. The camp for miles around is now patrolled liight and day by Sioux policemen who are armed with V inchesters, and vho are watching the movements of the hostiles. ' Over.24,000 rounds of ammunition have come for the troopers of the Ninth Cavalry and C0,000 for the Gatling and Hotchkiss guns. Ex-Indian4 Agent McGillicud''y came here to-day in response to u urgent request of. General Brooke, a. Gillicuddy has the record of beiug one of the most fearless agents ever in the employ of tio government. The two men have been in conference all day. It is reported that McGillituddy is in favor of crushing the Indiana , without any unnecessary delay, v PHASES OF THE EXCITEMENT. No Immediate Danger Feared In the Vicinity of Fort Bennett. Pierre, S. D., Nov.. 23. A press cor-4 respondent has. just returned from Fort Bennett, and reports that the officers there s&y that no immediate trouble is feared. The Indians are skirmishing around in small, parties, and tho Kees are going to join the Cheyenne Indian. at the, ghost dances. Scouts are posted out to points near Cherry ' cieek and as far north as Lebeau. vLebean and Fairbanks are absolutely deserted, but the report that seven whites had been killed near the former place is groundless. Tronble is feared if the Cfeeyenues are joined by the Pine Bidge Indians, or vice versa. Indian carriers are constantly running between Pine Ridge and Hump's camp, on Cherry creek, and the Indians are certainly conferring on some important move, presumably the ioinmg in a gland chose dance. '1 he authorities at Fort Bennett refuse to allow the whites to go west of there. "Steeps, the Cripple," has arrived at Fort Bennett, having been driven in by the Sioux of Humps Two Kettles's band. Indians in the Territory Have It Kansas City, Mo.. Nov. 2a C. A. Painter, agent of the Indian Bights National Association, with headquarters at Philadelphia, arrived here this evening from the reservation of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in the Indian, Territory. He says that the Messiah craze has taken possession of the Indians there and they have commenced a series of ghost dances. This is the first news of any general acceptance of the Messiah idea by tho Indians in the Southwest. Mr. Painter says the Indians are not at all riotous or ugly. --. Sounds Dig.

You will also supplement the recital of the aforesaid prayer by a few words of exhortation to the assembled people, or by such other form of celebration as your own wisdom or the opportunities of your congregation may suggest. WHY THESE PREPARATIONS? England's Precautions In Fortifying Points Within Striking Distance of Our Coast. Boston Journal. If Secretary Blaine were to put the question to Lord Salisbury, why England is straining every nerve to make Bermuda, Jamaica and her other posseessions within striking distance of our coast impregnable, it would task all the Premier's diplomatic resources to reply. Yet the fortifying process, which can have no other motive than to hold a pistol to our heads, is going on apparently without attracting the slightest notice from our government. Within a few weeks the matter has been made the subject of a report of the colonial defense committee of the British empire, and it is now announced that orders have been given to concentrate all British military forces at tho strategic points in Bermuda and the West Indies, where they will be ready to guard the coaling stations and hold them as the bases of operation of the British fleets in case of war. A telegraph cable has lately been laid from Halifax to Bermuda, and the line is to be extended to Jamaica and St. Lucia, where the ends of the cables will come into the forts, carefully avoiding connections with the wires of the American telegraphic system. When this line is in full working order, naval and military commanders in Bermuda, Jamaica and St. Lucia can easily communicate among themselves and with the home authorities in London. Together they will constitute & continuous picket line, hemming in our sea-board. It cannot be pretended that these warlike precautions are for the purpose of protecting colonial commerce, for tho bulk of the commerce of these colonies is with America. England's pro tit from her portion of the trade would hardly pay the interest on the immense sums she is expending for fortifications. ON or are tho islands desirable possessions in themselves, for they nearly all are burdened with enormous debts, and .ill the taxes that can be squeezed out of the unlucky colonists would not pay the cost of the top-heavy civil establishments that govern them. There can only be one motive that can justify the British authorities in studding their west Indian possessions with -Gibraltars, and that is that with true British longheadedness they are preparing for possible hostilities with the United States. Aswe have been, Bermuda. Jamaica, etc., are not worth all this trouble on their own account, and there is no other power.from whom England has anything to fear on tbe whole North American continent. It is interesting to take the map and see how neatly our cunning English relatives have contrived to hem us in, and bow they count on bottling up our seaports in the event of another disagreement. Beginning at Halifax, the defenses of which aro continually being strengthened, and have just been pronounced impregnable, we find some nine hundred miles to the southward, and live hundred miles off our Carolina coast Bermuda, with docks, machine-shops and fortifications continually maintained on a war footing for no conceivable purpose than to enable John Bull to keep an eye on Brother Jonathan. Three hundred miles further southward are the Bahamas, which almost touch our coast, and etill further South, Jamacia, where a strong military force is stationed, commanding the Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico. British Honduras, in Central America, completes the chain of colonies which encircles us. With a few cruisers judiciously distributed between Florida and Yucatan, and with Belize, St. Lucia and Kingston as bases of supplies fo fall back on. the Gulf of Mexico could be sealed as effectually to our privateers and commerce as our blockading fleets sealed up the harbors of the Confederacy. Of course this is no justification for any panic. It isn't tho American way to give a thought to possible adversaries or warlike contingencies. Everv war we have ever had has caught us wholly unawares. But it is as plain as day that the cordon of military Cables, dock-yards, coaling stations and forts that England is building up along our Atlantic coast is really trespassing too far on Yankee indirlerence and goodnature. THE WISCONSIN RESULT. How the Great Democratic Victory in that . State Wm Gained. Translated from tho Milwaukee Turn Zeitnng. The church has been the factor which determined and decided this campaign. The State was unconditionally denied the right of a control over schools, to carry out the principle of compulsory education and to guarantee to every child a modest amount of knowledge. The 'Democratic" victory aside of questions which concern national politics and also had an influence on the outcomo of the election became possible because, outside of the regular Democratic electors, under the leadership of not only German, but also Irish, i'olish and Bohemian ministers and priests, tbe members of the various church organizations, to the very last man, 1 voted for the Democratic nominees. Thou sands and thousands, formerly altogether indifferent as to the result of an election, thus went to the polls and cast their votes in compliance with the wishes of church authorities and instructions which, they had received in their churches. In especially those wards where there is a preponderance of Poles and Irishmen Peck, the miserable jester and ''famous' author tof demoralizing dimo novels (Schundromanen). received the greatest majorities. Tho,vote of the more or less liberal-minded German-Americans, it is true, was divided by reason ol the stu-

However, the overwhelming majority of the liberal GermanAmericandom, as we ourselves, voted lot Hoard, and among them tbe Turners almost unanimously. The McKinley Dill In England. Philadelphia American. A curious circumstance appears abroad, which may have some iniluence on politicl in tbe United States. Some copies of the McKinley bill have found their way to England, and upon being read there are found to be quite different from the repre sentations which had been made in thi American free-trade press eo much eo, in deed, that the English tradesmen admit unhesitatingly that they were grossly deceived. The Financial Times of London says with that sort of frankness which it has become a fashion to call "brutal," that it is now evident that the "excessive un popnlarity" of the measure, in England, "was largely due to exaggeration on the part of American Democrats, who havi spared no expenso or misrepresentation in raisins opposition to the schema." If it should appear, then, that the English bnsi ness interests are not so dissatisfied, 'aftei all, with the McKinley tariti', will not on American free-trade journals be more will ing to let it remain the law of the land! Think it over, gentlemen, and considei whether yon must insist on its repeal, when England is linding it not at all intolerable! A Mugwump Organ Talks Like Ilerr 3Iot Springfield Republican. "I understand." Mr. Gladstone once told Chauncey Depew, "that you have a man in your country who is worth $100,000,000, and it is all in property he can convert at will into cash. Tho government ought to seize his property, as it is too dangerous a power for any one man to have, bupposmg he should convert his property into money and lock it up; it would make a panic' In America which would extend to this coun-t try and every other part of the world, and be a great injury to a large number of innocent people." Gladstone referred to Y. 1L Vanderbilt: but the genius of Black Friday is ten times more dangerous, because he has not only all the means of doing mischief which Vanderbilt bad, but the disposition at any time to make such use of his power.
