third "a large az Missouri, near Judith basin
[Signedl FELIX BKUNor.
Chairman.
The object Of the treaty Was to secure the
cession o! valuable mines in the Crow reser-
vation. The Crows have always been friend
ly to the whites and are hereditary enemies
Of the Sioux. Their reservation lies be-
tween the settled part Of Montana and the
formerly hostile Sioux. This has been a
protection to the people OF Montana, and
some OF the settlers appreciate it and feel
like dealing Justly with the Crows, but the
main par, Of the people will listen to moth
ing but getting on the reservation, but more
particularly the mining portion of il.
THE MODOc QUESTION.
A number OF letters have been received
here from Quaker and other friends of the
Indian peace policy throughout the country
asking an extension and clemency in be-
half Of the Modoc Indians lately on trial for
the murder of General Candy. Many OF
these letters raise the question that the trial
was illegal under the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in the Milligsn case, that the
civil courts being open the military tribu-
mails have no jurisdiction. Another question
raised is that General Candy was
killed while acting as peace
and not as an officer
of the army in war. The question will come
directly before the President for his action,
"a the court for the trial Of the Modocs was
in pursuance Of the opinion Of the
General that only military court
had jurisdiction in the premises. The |
Judge Advocate and General of the army
take the same view as the Attorney General,
and will approve the
FINDINGS OF THE COURT.

President; however, must approve and order |
The execution Of the sentence, and upon |
him will be sure to be brought .
pressure to set aside the findings. Friends
Of the peace policy declare that when all the
arguments are presented to the President
he will not order the execution Of the zen
ence OF death, in view of the doubtful L.
atty Of the tribunal before which the trial
took place. On the other hand, old army
officers declare that the President will be
guided by the opinion Of the Attorney Gen.
eral already rendered, and his own sense of
Justice; that the prisoners were guilty Of the
violation of the rules Of civilized warfare BY
, violation Of flag of truce. and therefore
we're subject to trial BY military Law.
