One Man Against a Pack of Wolves

Dills* News. Andrew Philipot, a 'farmer living near Salltsaw. I. T„ set out to visit a sick neighbor half, a mile distant last Friday night, and on his return home was attacked by a pack of wolves. He was unarmeJ, but seized a large slick and as the wolves came closer and closer he kept them at bay while he hallooed f r help. A big wolf sprung at him. but he beat it off, wounding it. "and made a break for a tr«e. The Wolves followed,snarling and snapping at his heels. Again Pnillipot drove them back and ran to another tree. In this way he suceeded in getting in eight of his house,and his cries brought assistance.* The rescue was timely, as Pbillipot fainted from exhaustion just as help reached him.

S. troops which has. been mustered in the West since the defeat of Geronuno It can be predicted, if some unfortunate net on the part of the soldiers does not add to tlje excitemeatcf the redskins, that th® threatened uprise will never occur. It is now plain that Geo. Miles has not beep idle during the past week, for the troops now arriving come from raos) of the posts iu the West. Small. detachments have beep moving in this direction for the last three days, and the whole has been so smoothly and quietly done that not a word of warning has reached the Indians. This great movement will be known to history as the masterpiece of strategic Indian warfare, although not a gun may be fired during the whole trouble. Dumb;less thequick Pesponse of the army will entirely quiet the bucks now in such a fever over the strange -‘ghost dancm.” It would be impossible for the Indians to mount aud start out upon depredation, for morning -will find them completely iu the possession of soldiers, so completely, in fact, that not even madness will furnish thorn an exeuso to go or. the warpath. _ A telegram received from General Miles Friday morning reads: ‘‘Reliable information has been received that tho Yanktons and Gros Ventres, on the upper Mis souri , &!»o ti.ose near old Fort Beiknap, have unanimously adapted the Messiah craze, the latter being quite ugly; that Fitting Bull has sent emissaries, to these tribes, and to the fortv-feiaht lodges of Sioux north, of the British line, exciting -them Jo getr arms and ammunition and Join the other warriors nrar Black Hills in tho spring.

The latest reports from the northern Cheyennes is that they have aban-. doned the delusion. There sheuld.be no delay, however, in putting other, troops than those in these two departments in

proper equipment for the field.” At Chicago array headquarters, Friday night. Gen. Williams said: “I have received a telegram from Gen. Brooks, who is commanding the forces at Pine Ridge, saying his scheme for inducing the disloyal Sioux to ,pbandon their tribe and join the ieyals is working very successfully, and he soon hopes to have the hostile crowd entirely broken up. The report from Lieut. Smith, who is in charge of the , forces, of the Rosebud agency however, Is | not so encouraging. He telegraphed that when the forces under his command , moved near the Indians camp Friday, the occupants retreated back about fifteen miles where at night they held their ghost j dances and worked up such a frenzy that" some outbreak might occur before Saturj day night. I was also advised that Sitting rßntMihd been sending ,'ut requests to all j Sioux liultans, even in Cauada, the Indian Tr i ritory and as far west as Wyoming to join lias forces. He is assisted in his woflT by a large number of his tribe who have : b.en educated in the cast. If tho Indians care tod iso they can do a great deal Of damage before they can be cheeked.

WASHINGTON.

An Indiauapolis Journal Washington special says: Tho. belief prevails among people in Washington that ex-Preeident Cleveland will, beyond reasonable doubt. TSeTho next Democratic nominee for the Presidency, and that his nomination will be forced by the South and West without the consent of New York. This will make a novel Dctnccratic campaign, and a good deal of cariosity as we.l as anxiety will be felt by everyone as to the outcome of a Democratic campaign with New York left oat. Unquestionably the Democrats believe, since their recent victories, that they can elect a President without New York. They believe that their tariff policy has become sufficiently popular in Indian:, Wisconsin, lowa, Nebraska and othei Western States to show them some now fields of conquest sufficient to give them u majority in the Electoral College without the Empire State. Strenuous effort, bare recently been made to bring the two wings of the Democratic party in New York together, but it is thought that should MrClevelaud be nominated he will be knifed by tho Hill'facllon, while should the present Governor of New York receive the nomination the Cleveland wing Will mugwump and may put up an independent candidate. It was believed that among the probable things was the nomination of Governor Campbell, of Ohio, with a view to harmonizing all elements of the Demi • cratic party in New York, but it seems that tho resultof the recent session of the Buckeye Legislature has boon disastrous to tho ohief executive of that State.

Asa result of the canvassing of the returns of the late election, John J. Puttmann, Democrat, was declared elected auditor of Decatur county by a plurality of four votes.

TREASURER HUSTON’S REPORT.

Hi* Nation’* Finance-—A Plea (or Sm» pomionof the Civ.l Service. The Treasurer of the United States, Hon. Jas. F. Huston, has submitted to Secretary Windocn the report on the oper* ations and conditions of the Treasury for the fiscal year ended June 30. The net .ordinary revenues amounted to f403.0&0,s 882, a sum but twice exceeded in the hiss tory of the Government. The increase over the year before was $16,020,923, of which $11,725,191 came from the internal revenue. The ordinary expenditures were $297,133,436, an increase of $15,739,871 over those or the year before. The growth of the revenues was, therefore, a little greats' er than that of tho expenditures, and there would have been a falling off in the latter but for the increase in pensions. The surplus revenues were $103,344,496, of .which $20,304,224 was paid out in premiums on bonds purchased. According to tho ‘warrants the receipts of the Postolfiee Department were $01,108,041, and the expenditures $67,011,263, an increase of between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 on Doth sides. ( At the close cf business June 30, 1889,. these stood charged to the Treasurer on, the books of the Department the sum of $.70,393,118. To this were added the receipts of the year from the revenues and on account of the public debt, amounting in all to $648,375,300, so that the aggregate, for which he was accountable during the year was $1,821,774,482. Of this he dis» bursed $630,247,078 on warrant of the Department, leaving $691,527,403 in his charge on June 30,1890. There were included in these a .'counts, ho wcver, upward of $28,006,000 on deposit with tho States under an old law, beside nearly a million and a half of unavailable funds, for which the Treasurer wasnotirespousible. On the other hand, there was on deposit with him for various purposes a large sum of which the Department took no account, and ho • had received other sums which had not yet been charged to him. The true amount for which ho was accountable on June 30, 1869, was $76’>,643,871, and 2757,015,678 d year later, against which he held a like amount of abKets; consisting of gold, silver, paper currency and deposits with National banks.
