From, the Indian Nation.

CADDO, August 4-By invitation Of o
large number OF people OF the ChoCtaw
Nation Col. Bondrett addressed large
audience at Caddo to-day on the subject
Of political and property rights. His
speech was one Of the most impressive
and eloquent Of his life. At the close OF
his speech resolutions were made embody.
ing the views discussed by Bondrctt and
adopetd.
First-That United States Courts should
be established in the IndianTerritory,with
such jurisdictions rs we're authorized by
the Legislature Of 1856.
SeCond-That we recognize the Grand
Council which meets ut Ocmulgee, at the
Creek nation, as the Legislative body for
the Territory, contemplated by the
treaties Of 1896, and that Its powers
should be enlarged in the manner prom
ised In the treaties, and that We recon-
mend the Superintendent Of Indian AT.
fairs to select a point on the railroad aS
a more convenient place 10 hold It's ses.
sions hereafter.
Third-That US the treaties provides
for Delegates In Congress, We are infavOr
OF such legislation by Congress AZ will
enable the Indians to elect such delegate
whenever they be disposed 10 do 80.
Fourth-That the interest Of all Citi.
2ens Of tho Nation are the same. We
characterize the attempts Of any one to
array full-blOods against the mixed blood,
and white citizens Of the Nation, as in
compatible and damaging, and dcsGrv-
ing the opposition Of all live friends to
the Indians.
Fifth-Thut any legislation by Con-
greSs with reference TO this Territory,
should provide for prompt and equita.
bic settlement Of all just claims and de.
mands which each or any Of the different
tribes to bo effected by such legislation
may have against liz.
Sixth-That we protest against the set
Element Of any other Indians not belong
ing to the tribes now already le--
gally residents within the MmtIs
Of this Territory wi'hotlt ilrst OBJ
taininv the nsnsrnt oi the people among
wb"". tney arc to be located. The peo.
pie seem aroused to the necessity Of free
expression Of public opinion and arc in
earnest to secure the enforcement Of law
and order and the enjoyment Of their
political and proper rights under the
treaty. Bondrelt Is invited to speak at
Atoka on the 10th inst, and will make n
thorough canvass in the entire Territory.

LORD MAYORS BANQUET.

LONDON, August 4.-The annual ban
Quet given by the Lord Mayor Of London
to Her Ma;esty's Ministers took place to-
night. D'Isradi in responding to the toast
to the government declared that the
country was prosperous and the people
content. Abiding to foreign affairs hs
said peace prevailed and in his opinion
it would continue to prevail, II the
foreign relations OF Great Britain were
scrutinized he believed it would be found
that they had been conducted
WITH PRUDENCE AND FIRMNEss.
The Colonial Empire would be developed
and consolidated. Its interests and SYM
pathies ought to be aSsimilated with those
Of the mother country, and ultimately
the colonies will prove a source, not
Of weakness, but OF strength and Splendor;
on reviewing the work Of the present ses-
sion OF Parliment, he adverted at some
length to the incident Of the Shipping
Bill; he stated that in proposing new
measure the Government had been assist
ed
NOT CoERCED ny PUBLIC OPINION.
In conclusion he repeated the opinion
which he once before declared here, that
the people Of Great Britain were better
off than the nobility OF other countries.
The speech was received with enthusias-
tic cheers, Other members Of the Cabinet
spoke in a similar strain,
COLLIE nR0s.
At the hearing in the case OF Collie
Bros. to-day, Mr., Rainbow, Of the firm Of
Rainbow, Halberton & Co., testified that
quantity OF cotton was bought in
1873 by the Collies, on a joint account
with their firm, In consequence Of
a sudden decline in value, they never
had an opportunity Of selling It at a
profit. The Collies drew bills against
the cotton and, Rainbow, Halberton 4
Co. endorsed them. The Collies subse-
Quently sold the cotton and had the bills
original y drawn against 1t renewed after
It lad passed beyond their control. 1t
was tho maturing Of these bills that
caused the recent disaster. In conSe-
Quence Of the absence OF Sergeant Bal

Another Verdict on the Erainard
pridge Accident.

81. PAUL, MIMI, August 4.-A Com.
miltee Of Railroad experts, consisting Of
Il. Deland, c. A. +. Morris, J. S. Sewall
and J, ". Bishop, all civil engineers and
railroad and bridge builders, after an ex-
animation Of the work Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad bridge, have come 10 an
entirely different conclusion from that OF
the Coroners Jury, which after hearing
the evidence Of several parties familiar
with the bridge, severely condemned the
company. The Committee say: We find
nothing in the appearance oi the debris
OF the wrecked span TO Justify Us in at
tributing the wreck 10 defective or I'M
proper materials or workmanship, or de-
sign In original construction, or to the
want OF proper attention and repairs since
Il was built. We find the east truss In
its place and in good order and safe con-
dition. Tllisttls was constructed at the
same time the others were, and we arc In.
formed that It has received the same care
and attention from the officers Of the road.
II we may Judge by the condition Of
other trusseS from the examination oi
this one, they could not have broken by
the weight Of any ordinary train. While
we find ourselves unable TO definitely
describe the manner OF the wreck, we arc
unanimously Of the opinion that II was
caused by some accident 10 one Of the flat
cars loaded with rails crossing the bridge
at the time, by which a part Of car or n
rail became cntangled in the truss, thereby
displacing some Of the timbers, nearly
or Immediately over the west channel Of
the river
