WASHINGTON, August 2s, 1877.
Tho anal instructions to the Sitting Bull Commis-
sion. which 10 to visit Canada, have been postponed
by the decision OF the Cabinet the arrival OF Gen
sra Terry in Washington. The Secretary Of War says
that then The whole matter Will be discussed and con-
elusive action taken
GENERAL CROOKS ACTION
Much unfavorabe criticism has been made because
General Crook. having been first designated to 20 as
member OF the commission, declined 10 serve and his
right TO SO act Is disputed because he is an army
officer and should 60 where he Is ordered On the
other hand It is SAID by those connected with the nd
minisTation that he was not positively selected to
serve but was merely invited by President Hayes 70
come to Washington for consultation.
THE ROUTE
Great objection is had 10 the route marked out for
the commission, and necessity IS believed to exist
for the determination OF Fort Duncan az the
point departure from the United States A
stronger moral effect, 1t believed would
be produced by route through Canada
thus approaching the hostile sioux from
and In British territory. This Is more especially urged
project originally into by Secretary
Schurz at the urgent solicitation OF the Canadian
government, whose representative Mr. MiIos
their Minister OF the Interior, was seut
here to prevent international complications and tho
existence Of troublesome element on their border.
1t Is freely said, however, by officials that the
whole thing is q mistake from beginning TO end and
that 10 not Sitting Bull nor hts bands, but
that II Is dsvously wished they may stay In Canada
