Another Indian POw-wOw.
WASHINGTON, November 4.-The |
Otoe chiefs had another talk with Com |
missioner Smith to-day relative to the
purchase of eighty thousand acres of
their reservation in Nebraska. They
demanded pay in cash, but on the COM
missioner telling them that the govern !
ment would not pay them that way, but
would expend the purchase money in |
improving the remainder of their reser-
vatiOn, and that an annual appropriation |
would be expended for their benefit, the |
eniefs expressed dissatisfaction, saying |
that under these circumstances they |
could not sell. The commissioner in |
formed them that they had already |
agreed to the sale, and that they would |
not be allowed to recede from their con- |
tract, whereupon they requested that
they be allowed time to think over the
matter.
The Bazafne Trial.
PARIS, November 4.-In the Bazaine |
court-martial to-day, the evidence relat-
ed wholly to the non-receipt by Mar
shal Mcmahon, on August 23d, of Ba- |
zaine's alleged dispatch dated the twen- |
ty-first. The deposition of Mcmahon !
on this point was read. The marshal |
states that he received a dispatch from |
Bazaine dated August 18th, giving an |
account of the battle of st. Privat, and |
indicating that he still intended march
ing nOrthWard. In consequence of this |
information depOnent determined to
march in the direction of Montmedy |
instead of Paris. He received no other |
dispatch from Bazaine.
McArrat, inspector of telegraphs, tes-
titled that certain dispatches, which |
were retransmitted from Gongry, on |
the twenty second of August, were COM
municated to Paris, where they ap-
parently stopped.
III, NJ. Rubasse and Mics swore that /
they were dispatched by Colonel StOffel |
to obtain information concerning Bs- |
zaine. They received, on the twenty |
second of August, four dispatches, which |
they forwarded to Stoffel by telegraph. |
On returning with the original dis
patches, on the twenty-ffth, to Rethel, |
they showed them to Colonel Dalzae, of
McMahon's staff, and he ordered them |
to be given to Stoffel, saying at the
same time, that he was aware of their
contents, they having been received
there by telegraph two days previously. |
Duke d'Aumale cautioned the wit |
nesses to be careful; but they persisted |
in their story. They were confronted by |
Colonel Dalzac, who positively contra
dicted their statements.
The Dominion Parliament.
OTTAWA, November lin parlia- |
ment last night the debate was con-
tinued by Sir John A. Macdonald, who |
delivered q vigorous and exhaustive |
speech lasting five hours, and was only |
concluded at two o'clock this morning. |
He reviewed the constitutional question
and appointment of commission, and |
spoke Of work done by the royal COM
mission, and observed that he relied |
upon a report, and considered it |
beneath him to vindicate the charac- |
ter of commissioners. Judge Will
son, a long political opponent |
of his had declared that he saw nothing |
to criminate the government. Had be |
(Sir john yielded to the black-mailing |
attempt of MeMuller, these charges would |
never have been heard of. He referred |
to the charges made against him in con-
nection with the Washington treaty, and
to his triumphantrefutation of them. He
alluded to the policy of his government |
respecting Nova Scotia and British Co |
lumbia, challenging the leader of
the opposition to appoint committee /
to investigate the whole question of ex-
penditure in reference to the election, |
and expressed confidence that the re-
suit would show that more members on |
the opposition side owe their seats to |
corrupt means than on the ministerial
side. He strongly blamed Sir Hugh /
Allen for the delay in apprising his
American friends OF the fact that the
government had determined to have
nothing to do with them, and would /
not screen the living at the expense
of the dead, but neither Sir George
Cartier nor any other single minister
was able to bind the government. He
defended the directors of the Pacific
railway, and quoted English precedents
for bis own handling of the election
fund. He expressed regret that Mr..
Huntington had not been before the
royal commission to cross-examine. He
defied his opponent to show line in
the Pacific charter which bore out the
charge that Sir Hugh Allan has obtained /
any preference or advantage. Hedeclared /
himself equal to victory or defeat, and
appealed to the house to support the
man who has spent his lifetime in the
service of Canada. After the premier
had taken his seat, Hon. Mr.. Blake
made few remarks and continued the
debate. On the opening of the house
to-day every member was IN the capitol, /
