rSTEOAt. TELCCRASI TO TtlK HI5 P WCIT.
High llitux-.K, Ky., July 12. A vast
concourse of people assembled this morning
on the historic caroji srmind at High Bridge,
Ky.. to lcar Dr. Talmaso preach. They
came jnm all the surrounding cities, towns
anA neighborhood. A large contingent
nm I.oiis ille and another from Cincin
nati were present. Many of the visitors
have remained here since yesterday aftcr
lioon, when Dr. Talmage preached in the
Fame place. The test of his sermon this
morning was from Acts iii. 15: ""We are
witnesses."
Standing amid the 'itlis and proves of Ken
tucky, and before this great multitude that
no man can number, most of whom I never
twn-before and never will see again In this
world, 1 chooo u very prnctlcal theme. In
aa days of George Stephenson, the per
lectorof the locomotive engine, the scient
ists proved conelusivelv that a railroad train
could never be driven 'by steam power suc
cessfully without peril; but the rushing ex
press trains from Liverpool to Edinburgh,
mid from Edinburgh to London, have n-ade
all tho nation witness of the splendid
achievement. Machinists and navigators
proved conclusively that a 6teamer could
never cross tho Atlantic ocean, but no
Moner had they successfully proved the im
possibility of such an undertaking than the
work was" done and the passengers on the
Cunard and the luman and the National
and the White Star lines are witnesses.
riiorn wflnt iim n frnflji w of wise lauchter at
Prof. Morse's proposition to make the light
ning of heaven his errand boy, and it was
proved conclusively that the thing could
.lieierbedono: uut'nov all the news of the
vide world put in your hand-, every morn
ing and lnclit has made all nations wit
nesses. So in the time of Christ it was proved con
clusively that it was impossible for Him to
rise troiii the dead. It was shown logically
that t hen a man was dead, ho was dead, and
the heart and the liver and the luucs having
coa-ed to perform their offices, the limbs
would be ligid beyond all power of
friction orarousnl. Tue" showort it to be an
absolute absurdity that the dead Christ
should ever !r-t up alne: but no sooner had
thev pro -i this than the dead Christ arose,
and the disciples beheld Him, heard His
voice, and talked with Him, and they took
the ltucss stand, to prove that to be true
which the iseacrcs ot the day had proved
to be impossible; the record of the experi
ment nr.d of the testimony is in the text:
"Him hath lod raised lroin the dead, where
of we are witnesses."
"Witnesses to tne Truth.

Eight. Your Bible isa pack of contradictions.
Tnerc never was a miracle. Lazarus was not
raised from the dead, and the water was
never turned into wiue. Tour religion Is an
imposition on the credulity of the ages."
"There is an aged man moving in that pew as
though he would like to respond. Here are
hundreds of people with facesa little flushed
nt these announcements, and all through
this thron? there is a suppressed feeling
which would lite to speak out in behalf of
the truth of our glorious Christianity, as in
the days of tho text, crying out. "We are
itnesscs;"
The fact is. that if this woild is ever
"brought to God it will not be through argu
ment, but through testimony. You might

tion, I am bound as a lair-minded man to ac
cept their testimony I want just now to
put before you three propositions, the truth
of which I think this audience will attest
with overwhelming unanimity. The first
proposition Is: "tVearo witnesses that the
religion of Christ is able to convert a soul.
The Gospel may have had n hard time to
conquer us, w e may have fought it back,
but we were vanquished. You sav conver
sion is only an imaginary thing. We know
better. "We are witnesses."
A Missionary Story.
There never was so great a change in our
""heart and lifeou any other subject as on
this. People laughed at the missionaries in
"Madagascar because they preached ten
3 ears w ithout one convert; but there are
many thousands of converts in Madagascar
to-day. People laughed at Dr. Judson, the
"Haptict missionary , because ho kept on
preaching in lJurm.ih five years without a
eiuglo coin err: but thfre are many thou
sands o! llaptists in Jlurmali to-day. People
laughed at Doctor Morrison, in China, for
preaching there seven years without a
hingle conversion: but there are many
thousands of Christians in China to-day.
"People laughed at the missionaries for
pleaching at Tahiti for 15 jears without a
single con ersion. and at the missionaries
for preaching in Bengal IT years without a
cingle con version; yet in nil those lands there
ore multitudes of ( hrUtians to-day.
There is a man w ho was forten years a hard
drinker. The dieadful appetite had sent
lown its roots around the palate and tho
tongue, and on down until they were inter
linked witli the vitals of body, mind and

for two years. What did that. Not tem

Xot moral suasion Conversion did it.
"Why." said one upon whom tho great

from being ashamed, they would spring to.

Again, I remark that "we are witnesses"
or tho Gospel's power to comfort. When a
man has trouble the world comes in and
fays: "Now get your mind off this; go out
and breath tho fresh air; plunge deeper into
uusini-ss. n nai poor aavice: lict vour
mind off ofit! when everything is upturned
with the bereavement, and everything re
minds you of what you have lost. Get your
mind off it! Thej might a9 well advise vou
to itop thinking, and you cannot ston thfnk-
lng in that direction. Take a walk in the
lrei-h air: Win-, along that very street, or
tnat very load she once accompanied you.
Out or that grass-plot she plucked flowers,
or into that show window ne looked fasci
nated, saying, "Como see the pictures."
Go deeper into business: Why she was
associated with all your business am
bition, and smco she has gouo you have
no ambition left. Oh, this is a clumsy
world when it tries to comfort a broken
heart! I can build a Corliss engine, 1 can
paint a Raphael's "Madonna," I can play a
J;ecthoven's "Symphony," as easily as this
orld can comiort a broken heart. And jet
you have been comforted. How was it done?
l)id Christ come to you and say, "Got your

The Pence or Christ.
No. There was a minute when ho came to

eyes and tho face of tho dear ono and sav:
"It is all right: she ii better off; I would not
call her back. Lrrd, I thank Thee that Thou
has. comforted mv poor heart.'"
Thore are Christian Barents here who are
,k Trilling to testify to the power of this gospel
to comiort. xour son nau jusi graauateu
from school or college and was going into
business, and tho Lord took him. Or yonr
daughter had Just gradna ted from the young
ladles' seminary, and you thought she was
going to be a useful woman and of long life;
but tho Lord took her. and vou were tempted
to say, "All this culture of 20 years for noth
ing!" or the little cniia came nome trom
school with the hot fever that stopped not
for the agonized praver or for the skilled
physician, and the little child was taken. Or
tho babe was llftedout of your arms by some
o.uick epidemic, and you stood wondering
w hy God ever gave vou that childat all, if
so soon He was to take it away. And yet 3-011

not fighting against God. What enabledyou
to stand all tho trial? "Oh," you say,"I took
the medicine that God gave rhy sick soul. In
my distress I threw mvsclf at the feet of a
sympathizing God; and when I was too weak
to pray, or to look up, he breathed into me a
peace that I think must be a loretaste of
that heaven where thoro is neither a tear
nor a farewell nor a grave." Come, all ye
who have been out to tho grave to weep
there come all ye comforted souls, get up
off your knees.
Comfort for AIL
Is there no power In this gospel to soothe
the heart? Is there no power in this religion
to quiet tho worst paroxysm of grief? There
comes up an answer from comforted widow
hood, and orphanage, and childlessness, say
ing, "Ay, ay, we are witnesses!"
Again I roniai k that w e are witnesses of
the fact that religion has power to give com
posure In tho lat moment. I shall never
lorget the lirst time I confronted death. Wo
went across the cornfields in the country. I
was led by my father's hand, and wo came
to the farmhouse where tho bereavement
had come, and we saw the crowd of w agoii3
and carriages; but there was one .carriage
that especially attracted ray boyish atten
tion, and it had black plumes. I said:
"What's that? what's that? Why those black
tassels on the top?" And alter it was ex
plained to me I wns lifted up to look upon
tho bright fare of an aged Christian woman,
who three days before had departed in
triumph. The whole scene made an impres
sion I never forgot.
In our sermon and in our lay exhortations
we are very apt, when we waut to Bring il
lustrations of dying triumph, to go back to
some distinguished personage to a John
Knox or a Harriet Newell. But I want vou
for witnesses. I want to know if you have
ever seen anything to make you believe that
tho religion ol Christ can give composure in
me iinai nour. .ow, 111 tne courts, attorneys,
jury and judge will never admit mere
hearsay. They demand that the witness
must have seen with his own eyes, or heard
w ith his own ears, and so I am critical in
my examination of you now; and I want to
know whether you have seen or heard any
thing that makes you believe that the re
ligion of Christ gi"es composure in the final
hour.
Christians Fear Not to Die.
'Oh, yes," you 033-, "I saw my father and
mother depart. There was a great difference
in their death-beds. Standing by the one
w e felt more veneration. By the other, there
was more tenderness.'- Before the one, you
bowed, perhaps, in awe. In tho other case
you felt as if you w ould like to go along with
her. How did they feel in that last hour?
How did they seem to act? Were they very
much frightened? Did they take hold of this
w orld w ith both hands as though they did
not want to give it up? "Oh, no;" you say;
"uo; I remember as though it were yester
day; she had a kind word for usa'll, and
there were a few momentoeB distributed
among tho children, and then she told us
how kind we must be to our father in his
loneliness, and then she kissed us good-by
and went to sleep as a child in a cradle."
What made her so composed? Natural
courage? "No," you sav: "mother
was very nervous; when the
carriage inclined to the side of the road, she
would cry out; she was always rather
weakly.' What gave her composure? Was
it because she did not care much for you,
and the pang of parting was not great?
"Oh," you say, "she showered upon us a
wealth of affection: no mother ever loved
her children more than mother lo ed us;
she showed it by tho way slie nursed us
when w e were sick, and she toiled for us un
til her strength gave out" What, then, was
it that gave her composure in the last hour?
Do not hide it. Be frank, and let me know?
"Oh," j ou say, "it waR because she was so
good; she made tho Lord her portion, and
she had faith that she -would go straight to
giory, ana mat we snouia ail meet Herat last
at the foot of the throne."
A Victorious End to Life.
Here are people who say, "I saw a Chris
tian brother die, and he triumphed." And
some one else, "I saw a Christian sister die,
and she triumphed." Some one else will
say, "I saw a Christian daughtcrdle,and she
triumphed." Come, all ye who have seen the
last moments ofa Christian, and give testi
mony in this cause on trial. Uncover your
heads, put your hand on the old family Bible,
from wliich they used to read the promises,
and promise in the presence of high heaven
that you will tell the truth, tho whole truth,
and nothing but the truth. With what you
have seen with your own eyes and from
what you have heard with your own ears, is
there power In this gospel to give calmness
and triumph in the last exigency? The re
sponse comes from all sides, from voung and
old and middle-aged: "We are witnesses!"
Prof. Henry, of Washington, discovered a
new star, and the tidings sped bv submarine
telegraph, and all the observatories of Eu
rope were watching for the new star. Oh,
hearer, looking out through the darkness of
thy soul, canst thou see a bright light beam
ing on thee? "Where?" you say, "where?
How can I find it?" Lookalong by the Cross
of the Son of God. Doyounot seeit tremb
ling with alltendeme'ss and beaming with
all hope? It Is the Star ot Bethlehem.
Deep horror then my vitals froze.
Death-struck I ceased the tide to stem,
M" hen suddenly a 6tar arose
It was the Mar of Bethlehem.
Oh, hearers, get youreye on It It is easier
for you now to become Christians than it Is
to stay aw ay from Christ and heaven.
Madam Sontag's Kind Heart,
When Madam Sontag began her musical
career she was hissed off the stage at Vienna
by the friends of her rival, Amelia Steinin
ger, who had already began to decline
through her dissipation. Y"eara passed on,
and one day Madam Sontag, in her glory,
was riding through the streets of Berlin,
when she saw a little child leading a blind
woman, and she said: "Come here, mv little
child, come here. Who is that you are lead
ing by the hand?" And the little child re
plied: "That's my mother; that's Amelia
steininger. She used to be a great singer,
but she lost her voice, and she cried so much
about it that she lost her eyesight." "Give
my love to her," said Madam Sontag, "and
tell her an old acquaintance will call
on her this afternoon." The next
week in Berlin a vast assemblage gath
ered at a benefit for that poor blind woman,
and it was said that Sontag sang that night
as she had never sung before. And she took
a skilled oculist, who' in vain tried to give
eyesight to the poor blind woman. Until
the day of Amelia Steininger's death,
Madame Sontag took care of her and her
daughter afterhcr. That was what the queen
of song did for her enemy. But, oh, hear a
more thrilling story still. Blind, immortal,
poor and lost, thou who, when the world
and Christ were rivals for thy heart, didst
hiss thy Lord away Christ comes now to
give thee bight, to give thee a homo, to givo
thee heaven. With more than a Sontair's
generosity.he comes now to meet your need.
With more than a Sontag's music, he comes
to plead for thy deliverance. '
MILK PUNCHES AND THE BLUES.
Story of tho Man Who Committed Sniclde
by Jumping in a Sewer.
tsr-EciAL telegram to toe DisrATcn.
Knw Yonic, July 12. The body of the
man who disappeared with a "here I go"
down the manhole into the Twenty-sixth
street sewer, near Third avenue, "Wednes
day night when it was raining hard, was re
covered yesterday. It was identified as
that of Thomas Kenney by his wife, brother
ana miner, xne doqv was lound buried in
two feet of mud in the lower end of the
East Twenty-third street sewer. The feet
were bare.
Kenney was a well-known man alon" the
river front and was 34 years old. He lost
his job ju6t before the Fourth, and has been
out of work since He had lived with his
wife until then, hut when he lost his job
they were compelled to give up their home.
Mrs. Kenney went to a friend and Kennev
went on a spree on Tuesday morning. Just
before he" jumped down the inanliole he
took two drinks. He was seen by half a
dozen witnesses to go directly to thc manhole
down which he disappeared. It has been
suggested that he did it on a bet or dare, but
this is only surmise. Deputy Coroner Jen
kins made an autopsy at tlie morgue this
afternoon. It showed that Kennev had
died of strangulation. An examination of
the stomach showed that he had been
drinking milk punches. There were no
signs of food in the stomach.

Slow and Heavy.
S03IE ARE FIRM AT QUOTATIONS.
Harness Leather Moving Freely, but Trices
Are Unchanged.
A BOSTON VIEW OF THE OUTLOOK
Office of Pittsdohq Dispatch,
Satckdav, July 11.
There are about 7,530 hides worked into
vats weekly by Allegheny tanners. The
great bulk of these hides goes into harness
leather. There is but one tannery in Pitts
burg, nnd the product of this tannery con
sists of belt leather. Harness leather is Al
legheny's specialty. There are seven tan
neries devoted to this line of the leather
trade. In addition to these are two tan
neries which make a specialty of collar
leather.
Said a representative of one of the leading
harness leather tanneries: "Our trade has
very much improved in the past few weeks.
In June our stock of harness leather had ac
cumulated to an uncomfortable extent. In
the past week or two demand has been so
strong that our June accumulation has very
much declined and prospects are thatwo
will soon have nothing to sell. The great
crops In the West have had a stimulating
effect on tho harness leather market. When
.the farmer is prosperous.demand for harness
leather is good, and already we ieei tne gooa
effects of the heavy crops in the Increased
demand for harness leather."
The Boston Herald has this to say of the
leather situation: "The Fourth of July is
over and there is a little more business in
boots and shoes. Manufacturers are running
on orders, and are getting some orders, and
it is not saying too much to pronounce the
feeling better, though trade Is still dull, as
compared with former seasons. The thick
goods people aro noting more trade, with
some orders coming in. There is also some
thing doing in fall goods proper, with some
orders being taken. It is counted that
' Tho "Worst Milestone
has been passed; that the season about the
Fourth" of July this year will have to pass
for the dullest period in the year In boots
and shoes. The number of buyers here at
the present time is small, but some houses
are looking for buyers to put in an appear
ance very soon. The jobbers must nave
more fall goods, and In order to get them in
season for the trade the goods must be or
dered very soon.
"The feeling here is that failures are about
over in the shoe and leather trade. There
begins to bo something like a restoration of
confidence In the credit of shoe and leather
people.and more boot and shoe paper is sell
ing than a couple of weeks ago, though the
banks are still short of money. Among the
Jobbers the feeling is rather on the mend
than otherwise, and collections are better
within a couple of weeks. The time is also
drawing near when these Jobbers are to buy
goods, and trade is to be better. There is
one point that the Jobbers may make a note
of, and that is that the market Is about as
near dowm to the bottom on both shoes and
leather as it is going to be, and that boots
and shoes ordered at the present time will
be very likely to be on as low a basis of
prices as they will be at any other time this
season."
Following are the prices of harness
leather, as established by Allegheny tan
ners: No. 1 trace, 37c 1k; B trace, 35c fl B; No. 1

Light hides and calf skins are still dull,
and heavy steer hides are fairly steady. We
do not change ourquotatlons as markets are
practically the same as they were a week
ago. Kverything that pertains to fast wear
is weak and slow. The heavy failures of

MAKKETS BY WIRE,
CHICA GO Saturday was the dullest day in
many months on the Board of Trade. No
special reason for it was discoverable, as the
situation has not materially changed, but it
just come about that outside orders were
scarce and local trade was in a waiting
mood. So the pits, during most of the day,
were about as deserted as a last year's bird's
nest.
Wheat opened at about yesterday's closing
price, was inclined to firmness for a time,
selling up n good fraction, but finally weak
ened una lost all of the advance and some
thing more. There wns little in tho situation
that could bo called bullish. Tho Govern
ment report w as not quite so flattering as
many had expected, but the promise of a
month aco was fully sustained. Cables
showed the English markets rather firm, but
continental advices indicated lower prices,
due no doubt to the fact that the reduction
of French duties on wheat and flour wont
into effect yesterday.
The weather showed rain in some portions
of winter wheat countries, with a low
barometer all through the region, indicating
coming stoi-ms. As much of the wheat is still
in shock rain would bo regarded as unfortu
nate, and this helped to cause little stretch
and stimulating buying, but there was a
very little lor sale and tho backwardness of
sellers wns a strengthening feature.
The cable ad ices of famine in portions of
.Russia and India and drought and scorching
weather in Spain were about the only en
couraging piece of news for the bulls. On
the other hand, receipts of new wheat were
generally liberal. 105 cars reaching Toledo,
of which 1M were contract, and 193 cars of
now wheat was received here, 172 of them
being contract. Now York bought some
wheat and Logan had buying orderq
from St. Louis, w here the receipts are not as
large as yesterday.
liradstrecfs reported a slight increase in
exports compared with the week previous.
The available supply of wheat in Europe
and America was reported at 83,400,000
bushels against 60,185,000 bushels at this time
last year. December opened at 88;SSc,
soldup to mic off to 88c, to 8c, hung
around 68s3c for awhile during tho
afternoon, touched 8Sc, reacted to 8Sc
and cloted at SSc, on a Paris cable quoting
a decline In prices equal to 4 cents per
bushel, because of yesterday's reduction in
the duty.
There was only a moderato business
in corn, the ruling fluctuations cover
ing a K cent range. The feeling waB
inclined to be easier. The Government re
port was generally interpreted to be "bear
ish," but the scarcity and high prices of
casn property made the local trade timid
about selling "short." The trade figured
the report to mean an crop of about 2,000,
000,000 bushels. The firm tone in wheat gave
some strength to corn early in the day, but
the weather in the corn belt was favorable
for the growing crop and that condition
E roved a weakening lactor later. Septem
er opened at 5"4, sold up to 01, broke to
51K5 strengthened some, but closed at
5L
Oats were quite and firm early, but eased
off some later in sympathy with corn,
though the fluctuations were confined to a
mnp-n nf 3cent.
Provisions were rather strong on smaller
receipts of hogs than expected and firm
pricesat the yards, but trade was very dull,
indeed, with fluctuations confined to an ex
ceedingly narrow range.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as
corrected by John M. Oakley Co., 15 Sixth

Berries in Short Supply, and Prices
Are Tending Upward.
WATERMELONS ARE TOO NUMEROUS
Corn, Oats and Mill Feed Strong, and
Wheat and Hay Weak.
PEOYISIO'S FINDING A HIGHER IETEL
Office or PiTTSntmo Dispatch, J
Saturday, July 1L 1891. 5
Countrt Produce (Jobbing Prices) Sup
ply of berries was not up to demand to
day, and prices are higher. Markets were
glutted with raspberries in the fore part of
tho week, and they who laid in stock for can
ning at that time were wise. "There Is a tide
in the affairs of men which taken at its ebb
leadeth on to fortune." The householder
who neglected the raspberry opportunity at
the beginning of the week must now pay
higher prices. Melons are coming in freely
and prices are on tho decline. There are not
less than 100 car loads of watermelons
in the yards and on the-way. Each car con
voys on an average 1,000 to 1,200 melons, and
from present appearances largi quantities
will not yield enough to pay treight bills.
Potatoes are in plentiful supply nnd prices
are weak. Eggs aro firm and tendency Is
toward higher prices. Cheese has no doubt
touched its lowest point lor this season. In
this faith dealers are laving heavy stock.

The large fruit crop brings strong demands
on sweetening goods, and an advance is al

WALL STREET'S CLOSE.
The List Generally Held TTIthln the Narrow
est Limits and Only a Small Amount of
Buying Takes Place No Animation Was
Shown.
New York, July 11. The stock market was
a fitting end to a most intensely dull and
lifeless week". At the stock yards the deal
ings were devoid of interest. Tho demand
for shorts with a little new buying served to
keep prices moving upward in a listless sort
of ronnner until the Issue of the bank state
ment which created rather a disappointing
impression with its small loss in
surplus reserve and Immaterial losses
in other items. The only movement of
note was that in C.,C.,C. & St. L.,whlch rose
per cent on rather large business for that
stock but afterward lost the entire improve
ment. The rest of the list was held within
the narrowest limits and only St. Paul,
Atchison, Burlington and Louisville showed
any animation whatever. The industrials
and silver certificates whloh have monopo
lized so large a proportion of attention
lately were quite neglected. The opening
was firm and further advances of from lA to
14 per cent were scored, but the late trading
neutralized these gains to a large extent
and the close was rather heavy at insig
nificant advances over first prices. The
final changes are in all cases Insignificant.
Railroad bon ds were relatively more active
than stocks and displayed a more deoided
firm tone resulting in somo material gains
among the inactive issues. Among these,
Houston and Texas 6s rose 2 to S2& The
sales were $431,000. Government bonds dull'
and firm. State bonds neglected.

TSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Chicago, July 12. Chicago pig iron market
has shown increasing dullness during the
past week, orders now going, for the most
part, being for small lots. A few large con
sumers are still holding off before placing
their season's contracts, but the number is
limited and the parties wniting are doing so
in hopes of getting concessions either in
the way of Job lots or iron from furnaces
having depleted order books. Prices re
main on about the same basis as a week ago,
thoush on Southern cokes thern Is n. little
more firmness on some grades, notably No. 1
sort, wliich at present is .scarce for early
shipment.
Tho railroad buying which was expected
to start July 1 has not yet begun, notwith
standing the fact that time is rapidly ap
proaching when the crops will have to be
moved and all available rolling stock will
be in constant demand. Postponement of
purchase on tho part of railway lines simply
means so much additional business when
these companies come into the market, and
a larger Impetus will be given to trade
wnenever this movement starts up.

CBUISEBS FOR BAIMACZDA.
The New Warships Built In France
for
Him Are Powerful Ones.
"Washington, July 12. The new ves
sels which are said to be about to sail from
France to strengthen the navy of President
Balmaceda, of Chile, are powerful vessels
and represent the very latest developments
of French naval architecture. The Errazu
ria and the Pinto are sister ships, larger
than the Yorktown, and of the proportions
of cruisers 9, 10 and 11 now building at Bal
timore and Boston. They are 268 feet in
length, by 39 feet 9 inches in breadth, of 2,080
tons displacement and are 19-knot ships.
They are built of steel, sheeted with copper
andean steam 4,u00 knots at the rate ot 12
knots an hour without recoaling. They
should reach Chile in about SOdajs after
leaving France.
The Capitaine, which is now building in
France for Balmaceda and is nearly com
pleted is a much more powerful vessel
than cither the Krrauria or Pinto, and
should she reach Chile before the settlement
of the present troubles, she could easily de
stroy tne entire insurgent fleet.
INDIAN TE0TJ3LES FEABED.
General Miles Sends an Officer to Make an
Investigation.
Chicago, July 12. General Miles has
sent Captain E. L. Huggins.'one of his aides,
to the Indian agencies alone the upper Mis
souri with the object, it is said, of inquiring j
into many abnses that are alleged to exist
in the treatment by the Indian agents of
their charges. It is hinted that the Indians
liave become much dissatisfied with the sup
plies of food and clothing furnished them.
Beccntly reports that the Indians were
becoming greatly excited and threatening to
take tbe warpath again were received at
army headquarters. Telegraphic inquiries
to various agencies and army pests in the
Northwest elicited the information that the
reports were false, but General Miles de
cided to remedy the evils in their incipiency
and he ordered Huggins to make a complete
and thorough inquiry, and go among the
Indians and personally interview the chiefs.
