dian War-MOre Troops Needed
Gen. Sheridan's Letter.

viding for all possible contingencies
during the vacation of Congress for
more troops in the Indian country.
1t would seem more economical and
better, he says, to authorize an in
crease of the present cavalry force by
$500 privates, but il this Is not desir-
able the President should be author
lied to call out not over four regiments,
each of 1000 strong, Of volunteers for
six months. He would not order out
the volunteers unless reports from the
scene of war made it absolutely neces-
sary, and then only the smallest pos
sible number.
The following is General Sheridan's
letter to Gen. Sherman:
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.
I have not yet been able to reinforce
the garrisons at Red Cloud, at Spotted
| Tail or at Standing Rock, SO as to be
| strong enough to combat the Indians
or to arrest and disarm those coming
in. l beg of you to see the Military
Committee of the House and urge on
it the necessity of increasing the cav.
airy regiments to 100 to each company.
Gen. Crooks total strength Is LIZA;
Terry's Is 1873, and to give this force
to them / have stripped every post
from the line of Manitoba to Texas.
We want more mounted men. We
have not exceeded the law in enlisting
Indian scouts; in fact, have not as
many as the law allows, as the whole
number in this division is only ia.
The Indians with Gen. Crook are not
enlisted or even paid. They are not
worth paying. They are with him
only to crafty their desire for a fight
and their thirst for revenge on the
Sioux. =. Ii. SHERIDAN,
Lieut.. General.
A letter of Gen. Sherman 10 the Sec
rotary of War indorses the recon-
mendation of Gen. Sheridan, and the
letter of the Secretary of War recon-
mends the same to the President.
News from the Front.
ST. PAUL, Aug. Ii.
A dispatch from Bismarck transmits
the following from Terry's camp: "At
the mouth Of the Rosebud, August g..
Colonel Otis, with six ompanies Of the
Twenty-second infantry, arrived on the
I'd, and General Miles, with six com.
panies of the Fifth cavalry, arrived on
the next day." Besides the new ar.
rivals the entire command Is being re-
fitted and assembled on the south bank
of the Yellowstone. The march will
commence on the 7th. General Terry,
in an order dated July 20, expresses his
thsnks to privates James Bell Evans
and Benjamin Stewart, of Company Il,
| Seventh infantry, for their bravery in
taking dispatches to General Crook and
returning. These, among others, vol
unteered to 20 through the hostile
country when the Indian scouts re-
fused.
The Hawaiian Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II.
In the Senate to-day Sargent said he
had received a telegram, signed by
thirty leading citizens and business
| firms of San Francisco, asking for i'm
mediate action on the bill to carry into
effect the Hawaiian treaty, and stated
that the honor Of the country and its
mand action on that bill. He said a
most lively interest was felt in il on
the Pacific coast, and delay in acting
on the bill was injurious To business.
The Consular and Diplomatic Bill.
WASHINGTON, July IL.
The Conference Committee IN the
Consular and Diplomatic bill will
probably agree TO appropriate a sum
in gross for the foreign service of the
| United States during the present fiscal
year. The conjecture that the Presi-
| dent will authorize the conduct of our
foreign relations on a scale not war
| ranted by the appropriations, thus cre-
| ating claims against the Government
to be provided for in future, Is wholly
| unfounded. The Presidents plan will
be not to reduce the salaries of either
| foreign ministers or of consuls, but to
| recall a number OF them from less inn
portant points.
Probability OF there Being mo Quo
rum In the House.
New YORK, Aug. IL.
A Tribune's Washington special says:
Whatever action the Senate may take
it seems very probable there will be
no quorum in the House after to-mor-
row. Already about 10 members are
absent, most of them on les ye,
and it will be difficult to retain
a quorum in the House even to.mor-
row. Should the House find itself
without q quorum before the Senate
passes q resolution of final adjourn
ment, the result will be that no bust
ness can be transacted without unani-
nous consent, and that Congress will
be obliged to remain in session until a
sufficient number of members return
to make a majority OF the House. An
other matter which may cause delay
is the request sent to Congress to-day
for additional troops for Indian SER
vice during the vacation. The House
does not disposed to act upon
this request.

A T1Ibune's Washington special
says: The National Labor Conncil
met last night and adopted resolutions
recommending the withdrawal OF
Samuel F. Carey as candidate for
Vice President on tho Independent OF
Greenback ticket. The closing resolu-
ton reads as follows: I'm Peter
Cooper we find a perfect type of the
great citizenship OF the Republic, a
good and great man, but believe s. F.
Carey too heavy weight to allow sue
cess being obtained" Among the
