fsrrcrAL TO THE DAILY SENTINEL

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.
The Sun saws il is rumored In tinan-
cial circles that there was trouble
brewing between Secretary of the
Treasury Sherman and the four per
| cent. loan Syndicate on u side. and
certain National Banks and promin-
ent banking houses on the other. Ii
was limited that sherman himself was
connected with the Syndicate, and a.
| the result of q breach of faith on the
part of Morton, Bliss & Co to their re-
| cent associates in the four and a hall
rer cent. loan Syndicate, a suit had
been begun against that firm. Color
was given to the report by Ii fact
that the four per cent. loan is now of
fered in open market at a price nearly
one per cent. below the price at which
it was subscribed for by the Syndicate.
This makes it impossible for Sherman
10 carry out at present his scheme Of
funding the six per cents. in four per
cents.
There Is considerable excitement in
Brooklyn on account of n run on the
Long Island Savings Bank. The
Directors resolved to take advantage

solvent.

Management of the Indians.
OTTAWA, Aug. Is.
The Commission has been appointed
by the United States Government to
make a treaty with Sitting Bull for re.
turn to the rssery alton with his tribe.
While in Washington lately Hon. Mr..
Mills fully explained to the President
the Canadian system of dealing with
the Indians. The President expressed
his intention of adopting a similar line
of policy, and give the management OF
outpOsts to experienced army officers,
and do away altogether with agents.
The Canadian Indians of the North
west are fiercely jealous OF the advent
of the hostile Sioux, and it is feared
may at any time make val upon them.
1t is expected the new policy towards
the Indians, about to be adopted by
President Hayes, will bring about the
withdrawal of American Indians from
Canadian territory.

A Times Washington special says:
Trustworthy Montana dispatches of
this day say that hostities are on
the Lempi reservation and not more
than 300 miles from here. They are
marching in this direction. Howard
is pressing on but il at least three days
in The rear. Owing to the large num-
Der Of Indians here, and their very
restless condition, l feel great anxiety
over u safety. We have no protec-
ton, as there are LIP Indians, Sho-
shones and their allies. on the reserva-
ton, and no troops within reach. This
anxiety is u very valid one. The ap.
pearance OF Indians in force at Lempi,
which is in Idaho, just across the line
from Montana, and the western slope
OF mountains separating the Territories,
would show that they are slipping
away from Gibbon. since the Big
Hole fight they have stolen back
across the mountains and are now from
three to four days march nearer their
starting point, the Lapwai reservation,
than when they started. Howard, who
set out to whip chief Joseph, has been
led q long, crooked march Of several
hundred miles, and is now three DAYS
