west.
OMAHA, NEB., July 15.-The Herald s
special from Red-ClOud agency reports
| the killing Of two Indians and Il e
wOUuding of three others by soldiers on
! Little White Earth river. This being
on the reservation, the Indians are in
tensely excited over the occurrence, and
all the negotiations and work o. the
commissioners are entirely suspended,
and they are detained at Red Cloud
agency. The circumstances atteudiu &
the affair are not known here.
| Specials from along the lines Of the
railroads, and Otoe, Cas- and SaTpy
| counties, represent the crops looking fine
everywhere. They expect to harvest at
| least a twO-thirds crop. The gTasshop-
pers are still flying northwest over some
| points. Barley and rye are already be-
| ing harve sted in many places. The re-
| ports from the southern and southwest
ern portions Of the State are very favor
able. The weather is hot and dry north
of Platte river. A little too much rain
in some localities south.
The Chicago CustomhOuse.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The state
ment that has been published that Mr..
FarTell, member OF congress from Chi
cagO, had submitted to the secretary Of
the treasury, a report of the committee
composed of local architects Of Chicago,
is wholly untrue. When requested by
the mayor and council, some weeks ago,
the secretary promptly directed the su'
perintendent of building at Chicago to
permit any board of architects appoint
ed by the mayer to make an eXamina-
ton Of the building, and he understands
that such board was appointed and is
now engaged in that work. Ii they
have finished the work, or agreed on a
report, then the secretary is not advised
Of their conclusion. No such report has
been submitted by Mr.. Far well, nor did
Mr.. Fsrwell in his interview with the
the secretary Of state intimate that any
such report was in existence. Whatever
report may be made, it is not believed
that the secretary Of the treasury will
change his order heretofore given direct
ing the supervising architect to suspend
work and preserve the building in its
present condition until the matter can be
referred to congress.
