REINFORCEMENTS NOW EDRHIED TO TEE TEONT I6VECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISrATCH.I Chicago, November 24. Telegrams were ' received all day from Western posts by General Miles, who directed the troops' movements. A larger force than has been mustered in the West since 1870-77 will be in the region about Pine Kidge by Wednes day. The reinforcements are sent by reason ot the evidence received from General Brooke, who is disposed to take a very serions view of the situation. The troops at every fort or army station in Missouri, .Nebraska, Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and Wyoming will be drawn upon, and other detachments of the army are under orders to hold themselves in readi ness. "Instructions are to prevent trouble, if Jiossible, by persuading the Indians to re turn to the acency. The Exact Cause to be Ascertained. General Schofield has instructed General Miles to find out if the cause of the present dissatisfactiou among the Indians is due more to lack of rations than to their belief in the coming of the new Messiah. In ac cordance with the instructions Colonel Heyl, Inspector General, left tor the West this afternoon and will visit all the army posts and most of the agency stations. He is accompanied by an amanuensis who will take verbatim reports. General Miles said to-day: "Before I say s word as 10 the situation in the turbulent In dian country in the Northwest let me say that I have no boys' play to deal with. I have the situation within my grasp. God help the Indian who fires the first shot. I am in duty bound to protect lives and prop erty, and 1 would have it distinctly under stood that so long as I am the head of this military department I propose to do my duty. There are many matters of an official nature which I cannot disclose to you. but woe be unto the Indian who makes the first hostile demonstration." Discovery of the Messiah. The Indian Messiah has been found. A letter received to-day by General Miles from n army officer at Los Angeles,Cal.,tellstbe particulars. The letter says. I know it will be surprising when 1-say to you that I have lound Die .Messiah and the story of my finding is as follows: Last spring an Indian called and said he would like to speak to the commanding General. I took him in the room and ho gave a history of himself. He said his name was Johnson Sides; that he uas known as the peacemaker among all Indians and the whites of Nevada where lie lived. To substantiate his statement he showed me a medal which he carried strung around his neck, on which was a legend to the effect that he was presented with the medal by some Christian society for his efforts toward doing good to his fellow men, whether white or red. He could talk very eood English: was diessed like an ordinary laborer, bnt had the Indian way of wearing bis hair. He told me he read knew the Bible; that he was desirous of making peace with every one. and that was why he was named the Peacemaker. He said that Indians had come from alar off to see him, and he pulled out a pipe, such as are made by the Northern Indians, which pipe was recognized as hawng come from either Montana or Dakota. Origin of All the Trouble. 1 firmly believe that this is the good-natured Indian who has caused all this trouble; that he has taught the members ot bis tribe the story of Christ or the Messiah, and the time when ho will once more visit the earth, as it has been taught him by the Christian people interested in his welfare. He has told all these visiting Indians 01 tne paradise in store for all people when the Son shall onco more visit the earth, and the Indian's paradise is whatever his im agination may lead him to believe, the same as a white man. He has no doubt delivered the story in its true light, and the Indians retellin it have warped and woven it according to their understanding. News reached here to-day of a serious out break Saturday afternoon on the Menominee reservation. One hundred and fifty armed Indians surrounded the logging camp of Henry Sherry, near Evergreen river, and bnrned the camp after the men had re tired. Seven Horses and 14 oxen were killed and the camp outfit for C5 men was destroyed. The 13 white men were unarmed and fled Tor their lives. The Indians claim that the white men were trespassing. The Situation in Dakota. In their fright Saturday alter the report that an armed body of Indians, COO strone. were approaching from the northwest all Oneida and the surrounding vicinity of Sully county, S. D., gathered into the large hotel and men armed for the fray. The old, the sick, women and children, were huddled en masse into the building. Two children of Mr. Livingston lying low with scarlet fever were crowded in, exposing the whole company to the dreadful disease. Oneida has been furnished 100 guns and 700 rounds of ammunition from Fort Sully. A stage driver from Fairbanks reports one half-breed killed at Fort Bennett for not participating in the ghost dance. Shields, a noted chief from the lately ceded Winne bago lleservation.who has been participating in the ghost dance at the Rosebud Agency, is in Blunt,and acts very suspiciously and'is held by the Marshal until he is proven other than a spy. Advices from the Cheyenne Agency to-day state that hardly an Indian was 'to be teen there to-day, it being the monthly ration day. This is a most sus picious circumstance to the autnonues, a all the Indians always show up on ration dar. The Work of Pillage Commenced. A man named Wnitefield, who runs a small trading store on White river, near Kosebud, arrived here to-day, and reports that a band of Indians broke in and pillaged his store during his temporary absence. He has come to Pierre for safety.ns also has a neighbor ranchman named Scoville. The latter claims to have conversed with the Indian Messiah's followers recently, and they tcld him that the white men had his Messiah, and the Indian could have his; that the Indian did not stop the white man from worshiping his Great Spirit, and that if the white man tried to stop the Indian, he would fight and kill all the whites that come near. He only wanted to be left alone to dance, and no whites must come about; and further, that if the Great Father sent soldiers to stop tliem.they would be served as Custer's soldiers were. The concensus ot opinion at Pierre, S. D., is that affairs are at a critical stage among the Indians, and that the least thine will precipitate an outbreak, but if no interfer ence is offered to the fanatics, they may sub side, and then the excitement will pass ofE defiantasever. THE GHOST DANCERS REASSERT THEIR INTENTION TO KEEP AT IT. Fonr Thousand Sioux and Cheyennes in Camp at Tine Ridge Agency Ked' Cloud a Suspicions Quantity General Brooke and Agent Royer l'repared for an Attack. rSI'XCIAL TKLEPEAM TO IBS DISrATCIT.l Pine Ridge Agency, S. D., November SITTING From a Recent Photograph 24. All has been bustle and excitement'in i camp to-day. Before sun came up this j morning there were 4,uuu Sioux ana u-ney-ennes in camp about the agency. Their tepees stretched along the sloping sides of the Buttes to the uorth in the shape of a half moon for three-quarters of a mile. Big Boad and No Water, two of the leaders of the ghost dance, came in during the night and pitched smoke-begrimed tents among other dancers around Bed Cloud's house. Little Wound, the high priest of the craze on the reservation, has sent a courier to Agent Royer. stating that he and his people will como in if they are invited. The message was disregarded by the officers, and if tho fire brand comes he will have to take the conse quences along with Big Road and No Water. The army and agency officials are through in viting the ghost dancers to come to camp. There will be no more pow wows or feasts. It is estimated that there are 2,000 Indians still away from the agency. This includes 2C0 Rose bud Acency Indians, who have left their reser vation and are now with the rebellious and fan atical Sioux of Pine Ridge, and does not count the 30 lodges of Young-Man-A f rald-of-His-Horses, who are somewhere in the North. These Indians are Sioux and ghost dancers, and in case of war form the main body of hos tilcs. thoy would, of course, be joined by many bucks, who are at the acency more out of curiosity than anything else. It is a conservative estimate that of the 2,000 Sioux who defy the orders of Agent Royer. two-thirds of them are tho flower of the fight ing men of the Ogalala Sioux. The 4,000 In dians now here are made up for the most part of tquaus and children, who were sent here to draw rations to-day and get their beef on Wednesday. The hostlles are still dancing on Medicine Root and at the mouth of Wounded Knee creek, on White River. They say they will come to the agency when they get through dancing. It is a fact, however, that their chiefs are now here but they have had no conference with General Brooke or Agent Royer, and it is not likely they will have. They are liable to arrest. No Water and Big Uoad stalked past the soldiers to-day in their paint and eagle feathers. They refused to be interviewed, and after surveying the ground, rode back to their people, whose village completely surrounds old Red Cloud's house. . . ,,r . , . There are reports that Llttlo Wound is here, but if he is he is keeping himself under cover. The situation is no 'letter and no worse than it was yesterday. Agent Royer made this state ment to The Dispatcu correspondent to-day; 'The great army of Indians now here remain quiet and anxious. Beyond, on the hills, are the ghost dancers, left for tho moment by their leaders as defiant as ever." MORE TROOPS FOE THE WEST. War Department Actively Seconding Gen eral allies' Exertions.

A PLUNGER'S END. ANOTHER BIG SURPRISE IN PHILADEL PHIA FINANCIAL CIRCLES. Colonel John R. Baker, a Prominent Man, Disappears, Leaving a Broken Business and Many Ugly Humors Behind rriends and Relatives Swamped by His Opera tions. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1BFATCII.1 Philadelphia, November 24. Finan cial circles had another surprise to-day in the disappearance of Colonel John B. Baker, Jr., prominent in society, and a well-known stock operator, who has figured in the street for over five years past as a "plunger" on 'the bull side of the market With his dis appearance all sorts of ugly rumors have been put in circulation. The immediate cause of his disappearance, however, is be lieved to have been large losses incurred in the manipulation of Lehigh Coal and Navi gation Company stock. Baker, with one or two others, some time ago undertook to form a pool to raise the price of stock, and thus realize a large profit. All the operations were conducted in Baker's name, and whatever losses were incurred have been by himself.. His efforts to hull the stock proved futile in the general depression that has been m voguo for nearly a month. As tho stock declined Baker continued to make extensive purchases of the stock. When his own cash was nearly exhausted ho ceased to buy the stock outright and began to buy it on margin. He continued to do this until be had accumulated nearly 40, 000 shares, the average price paid being $50 a share, involvins the use of $2,000,000. It Is known that he had exhausted all his own funds and had borrowed extensively from his friends and relatives. With this large block of stock in hand the current in the market was too BULL. 'Secured by a Pittsburger. strong, and when the money market became stringent he was unable to obtain funds to meet loans that called upon him, and stock of his that was held as collateral was thrown upon the night he went home, and this was tho last time that be was seen. The mem bers of the family kept the secret among them selves UUtll lU-Uaj, TOUCH lb UUlli UO ACUh U" longer. At once large quantities of the stock was sold upon the exchange, tho total amount being 5,042 shares, the largest sales ever re corded in Lehich Navigation in one day. Rumors of forgeries were wildly circulated this afternoon, but up to this time they have not been verified. W0BKING FOE HAEM0NT. Conference Committee Smoothing Over World's Fair Difficulties. CniCAGO, November 2i A secret confer ence was held to-day by the joint committee of the National Commission and the local di rectory of the World's Fair, with a view of de termining the much-disputed qnestion of juris diction in the management of the fair. The directory claim that the $10,000,000 fund must be expended under its immediate supervision, subject to the approval of the commission. A graver issue is the matter of soliciting ex hibits. Under the commission's interpretation he directors could do nothing in tins direction without the approval of the commission, and that the directory seriously objects to this. 'Ihe board also objects to the commission's in terpretation of tile act holding that the board has no power to'originate any action in regard to exhibitors, foreign or domestic. Fifteen chiefs of bureaus and the Director General will.direct the destinies of tho World's Fair. A Board of Reference and Control of eight members, trom the National Commission .and a liko number from the Local Directory all matters of difference that may arise in the management of the Exposition.

PITTSBURG. TUESDAY, MAY LACE A QUORUM. Eepublican Leaders in Doubt About Mustering Their Members FOR THE OPENING OP CONGRESS. Democrats arc Getting Worried Oyer the Apportionment Bill. THE LEGISLATION WAITING ACTION rFBOM A STAF COKKESrONDEVT.I Washington, November 24. Defeat, or something else, appears to have cooled the energy of the mass of the Bepublicali members of this House, for with less than a week intervening before the meeting of Congress, comparatively few of the major ity are in town, and the leading repub licans who are here are losing hope as to their ability to muster a quorum till after the holiday recess. However, it does not look as if there would be any serious con test hefore that time which will require the majority to marshal their full force. The ap propriation bill for the District and possi bly one other -n ill be reported almost imme diately after assembling, and with this bill and the numerous bills of a minor character on the calendar, which are crying lor con sideration, the time of the House could be fully occupied for the 'short space before Christmas. The apportionment bill, which is expected to bring on a clash between the two par ties, has not besn reported as yet, and wjll probably remain in the committee's hands until shortly before the recess. The Speak er will arrive here some day toward the lat ter part of this week. He has beeu slightly unwell, but is reported to be recovering rap idly. DESIOCIiATS ARE GETTING WORRIED. The Democratswhoareontheground seem to be growing more anxious about the ap portionment bill than all else. They ques tion the correctness of the census itself in the first place, and in the second place sus pect the Bepublicaus of designing to so manipulate the apportionment as to put the Democrats at a disadvantage. Tney profess to believe that there was no attempt at an accurate enumeration of the population of the whole country, and that consequently they have been deprived of a gatn of souio 15 or 20 Congressmen, winch they expected. They ex pect that the Republicans will attempt to put tueni out of several other Congressmen, by the method of reapportionment, and they are pre pared to enter into a vigorous and protracted exhibition of "kicking." An investigation of the method of taking the census will be demanded by the Democrats soon after Congress meets, and every effort will be made to prove to the public the correct ness of the assumption of unfairness in the census. If the Repuplicans of the House re gard the "whip" sent ont from the White House, urging their attendance upon the ses sion of the House, and Mr. Reed succeeds in holding a quorum of his own party, nothing can be done to prevent the passage thore of such an apportionment bill as the majority de cide upon, but the absence of a quorum of their on will be fatal to their plans. The Democrats believe that they can prevent the passage through tho Senate of any apportion ment bill which they regard as unfair. PROGRAMME OP THE REPUBLICANS. There are other measures besides the ap portionment and elections bills which make it desirable for Republicans to have a full attend ance of their party. They haye constructed their programme for this session on a pretty large plan, and it will take hard work xtd promptness t2."rT"''nt Tt '" "T"'r', by soino of the leaders as very important that two (tteamshio subsidy bills and several railroad and land bills be passed dnrlng the session, and. there are many other measures on Ihe calendar which they are anxions to get rid of, The chances are. while the Democrats will not try to defeat the appropriation bills for the purpose.ot necessitating an extra session, that all of theso bills will receive very full discus sion, the purpose of the minority being to show that the Republicans liavo been extravagant. This, and the defense of the majority, is liable to take up considerable time. The pension ap propriation mil ana tue aenciency lor pensions will pro voice particularly earnest discussion. The silver men will be on hand with another proposition for free coinage. The battle over the compound lard and pure food bills prom ises to open up actively. Mr. Blair has his labor bills still before the Senate, and Mr. Ed munds his anti-Mormon bills. The revenue marine transfer, the Pill for the relief of the Supreme Court, the bankruptcy bill, the copv riglit bill and many other measures ot greater or less Importance will put in a claim for time during the session.

Johnson as assignee of Prettyman's Bank and the North Division Lumber Company. The Judge appointed In Johnson's stead the Jen nmg's Trust Company, and entered an order directing the nv assignee to take charge at once.

A meeting of the Parnellite members of the House of Commons will be held to-morrow, prior to the opening of the session of the House.

It is stated this evening upon excellent authority that at this meeting of Nation alists to-morrow Parnell will announce his retirement from the leadership of the Irish party. Mr. Davitt, in a speech to-nighf, said he believed that Parnell would to-morrow-prove himself a greater patriot than his enemies believe him to be, by taking a course that would minimize the danger to autonomy for Ireland. Gladstone will say nothing as to the course he will follow in regard to Parnell's leadership of the Irish party until he has held a consultation with his colleagues. A riJIEST ATTACKS PAENELI,. An extraordinary scene took place yester day during mass in the Italian church here. Tlie Eev. Father Bannin, the pastor, ascended the pulpit and said that the sub ject of bis discourse was a painful one, hut one that he felt impelled to discuss. He then went on to say that during the past week there had been exposed in the law courts a most scandalous case of immorality. connected with an Irishman who had been a leader of his people. The reverend gen tleman added that the greatest qualification a man could possess as a leader of his people was morality, and when this man was first charged he loudly protested his innocence, and had a complete answer to the accusa tion ready. But when tho time came for the trial he was silent, and thereby he landed the Irish people in a quagmire of. immorality. "When the priest had reached this point some of the congregation arose and walked out, while one man got up in- bis seat and shouted. aUthe too ofhisi,voree: "'Tillnd your own business." To this the Reverend Father Bannin answered back: 'That 13 what I am doing. It is my business to teach moral ity." Then .tjie man. quivering with excite ment and anger, called loudly: "Don't Inter fere with politics." The verger and several of the congregation endeavored to expel the dis turber, but wero ordered to desist by the priest, who said: "Let the man alone; don't touch him. He has a right to speak." PAEISHIONEI53 DENOUNCE THE PRIEST. Tho excitement was intense. The congrega tion arose almost en masse and most of them wero loudly denouncing the man for the inter ruption. Father Bannin contlnned protesting that he was not speaking of politics; be was re ferring merely to a question of morality, add ing: 'This man was a leader of the people, and yet he had debauched the wife of a man who was his friend, he bad brought ruin npon an entire family." Here there was marked evidence of re strained applause, and as the only culprit the vergers could discover was an aged female, who was placidly thumping the floor with her umbrella, they promptly seized and hnstled her ont of the sacred structure. When quiet had Deen restored, the preacher went 011: "Let the Irish remember that they have had the Protestants of all denominations on their side, and they will all withdraw from the support of the Irish cause if the Irish people retain this man as their leader." Soon after this Father Bannin concluded his remarks, and as he descended from the pulpit there was some unseemly shouting and cat calls in the rear of the church. As the congregation was leaving two men in the street called for cheers for Parnell. which where forthwith given, accompanied byr a fair sprinkling of groans, and the sidewalk and roadway were blocked by a wrangling mob, which was not dispersed for some minutes.

MUST OBEYTHE LAW, Wholesale Liquor Dealers Charged With Doing a Retail Business. THIRTEEN MEN ARRESTED. The Police Confident That Tney Have Good Cases Against Them. "iYUKEING TDK LITTLE TIS BUCKET. I Alolliers Teachinj: Their Children to Drink Whisky and Eeer. RESULT OF SEVERAL 3I0XTI1S' WORK A new crusade has been started by the Uepartment of Public Safety. This time it is directed against the holders of whole sale liquor licenses who persist in dis pensing seductive beverages at retail, and, iu addition, allow the purchasers to drink it upon the premises. The campaign was commenced simulta neously in the first and third police dis tricts. Tbe first district includes the first 13 wards, while the third district takes in the whole of the Southside. As a result of the latest move 13 (an unlucky number) wholesalers were arrested yesterday, charged with selling liquor without license. For several months past Inspectors Mc Aleese and McKelvy have had men at work looking up the manner in which whole salers were conducting their establishments. This action was rendered necessary by the numerous complaints turned in to police headquarters. It was asserted that in many of these places anyone man, woman or child conld buy liquor in any quantity, from a nickel's worth up. In a nnmber of these establishments tables were provided for customers, who could sit and drink until they fell ofl their chairs. Then the pro prietor would drag the unconscious inebriate into a coiner and let him or her, as the case might be, sleep off the effect of the liquor. A BIG INDUCEMENT. A few places had rooms upstairs where the fair sex could take a nip or two ia privacy. Of course, the inducements held out by these establishments far outweighed those offered by saloons, whose keepers gen erally try to obey the provisions of the Brooks' law. It looked much more recherche to walk boldly into the entrance of a wholesale liquor store than to sneak in at the side door of a saloon. Inspector McAleese said last evening, in referring to the matter: "We have only just began this work. We may mak"e"soTne"mor8 arrests during the night, and to-morrow we expect to gather in quite a number. We will not arrest a man unless we have suffi cient positive evidence to convict him, and we are confident that we have in every case. My experience leads me to believe that not one out of ten of the wholesale liquor deal ers could make enough money without re tailing. It stands to reason' that there is not enough legitimate business for all of them. We have several wholesalers who do a first-class business, and I do not include them in this category. "The manner in which many of these places are conducted has caused them to be come eye-sores to the community. Little children are sent in with tin buckets to buy 5 or 10 cents' worth of whisky and beer, the very thing the Urooks law tries to prevent. TEACHING CHILDnEJT TO DEINK. "Women go to these places with their children, who are there taught to drink, ami all come out staggering upon the street It is ray honest opinion that one of these places are more harmful to the community than ten saloons." The bottling houses are also to be closely scrutinized. Many of these places allow liquor to be sold on the premises. The Brooks law tpecihe no penalty for this, but under an act of 1S72 a fine of G0 may be im posed. Another way to proceed against these places is to charge that they are disorderly houses, and this 13 the method that is to be adopted. The bearings in the cases ot those men ar rested in the First district will be held at 10 o'clock this morning liefore Police Magistrate Gnpp. It 13 expected that all the defendant! will waive hearings and give bait for trial a: conrt. Tho informations in these cases were drawn up by Assistant City Attorney Clarence Bur leigh, and are warranted tu witnstand any as sault which may be made against them by tho counsel for tbe defense. IS THE SOUTnSIDE DISTRICT. Insoector McKelvy, of the Soathside. had laid his plans well. Eleven iinforniations against wholesalers, for selling witnout license, bad been made before Alderman Snccop. and about 920 In the evening the fun began. James Donahue, of 1113 Carson street, was the first to arrive at tho station house, and from that time on until 1020 tbe wagon camo and wont regularly until seven liquor men had been lodged in the station. A host of friends followed in the wake of each man arrested. The scene at the station was funereal in its aspect, Tbe liquor men. nearly all of them well known on the Southside. entered the station between tbe two wagon-men and marched stolidly to the cell-room, generally with flushed faces, but some evidently seemed to take it as a good joke, though they said little. Alderman Succop was on hand to rcake out bail bonds, and was soon kept busy. A number of the friends of each prisoner came to see him through. Tho bond In each case was placed at S500, and Alderman Succop now has seven half dollars on deposit from bondholders. The wholesalers departed quietly, and in nearly every c-iso went direct home in the company of their friends or wives. After being assured that his plans were work ing all right in the district covered by the Twenty-eighth ward station force. Inspector McKelvy and Special Officer Carngan drove down to the West End. and two more prisoners were added to the list. Two others. James Miller and William Snodgrass, for whom in formations had been made, were not at boms when the officers called. MORE ARRESTS TO FOLLOW. Inspector McKelvy and Special Officer Car rigan arrived from tbe West End in time to hear tho Doxology sung at the Twenty-eighth ward station and see the last prisoner of the first wholesalers' raid march out of tho station. The prononncing nf the benediction in each case was deferred by Alderman Succop until next Wednesday at 1 P. M. The inspector said be had at least six wit nesses In each case, and that it was only the be ginning of tho itippression of illegal selling by wholesalers. H has effectually cleared the Southside of illegal retail dealers, and now proposes that the wholesalers shall toa the mark. Inspector McAleese coincided with. McKelvy with regard to the First district, and tbe raids were made simultaneously. "The evidence." said Inspector McKelvy, "is clear against those now arrested.
