law. He believes there IL clear two
thirds for it in each branch of congress.
He saw no reason for belief or hope
that it could be defeated. He thought
an amendment might be put in, but
that not much difference could be made.
He thought that the people in New
York did not fully understand the
strength Of the silver bill move
ment in congress. Up TO to-day the
correspondents of New York papers
have insisted that the bill could not
command two-thirds vote He wa
not, therefore, surprised ut the course Of
THE GOLD MARKET.
Besides, the reconciliation Of silver
will not affect gold or greenbacks at
once. All the silver that can be coined
for several months would be used for
the payment of duties, and the people
III general will not see much Of it until
sometime after the passage of the bill.
He SAID that as the supply Of silver in
creased gold would entirely disappear,
and then greenbacks will gradually de-
preciate Mr.. Sherman was Of the
opinion that the silver people will be
greatly disappointed with the imme-
diate effects Of the RECOMMENDATION Of
silver, and that the greenback men,
who are at the bottom Of the silver
movement, will be the only ones
strengthened. He believes that the
sale Of bonds Of
TIE POPULAR LOAN
will continue. Two millions have al
ready been sold The banks are taking
them up. The state Of Kansas has
bought 100000 worth Of these bonds to
be delivered this week. 1t is estimated
that it will take month yet before tnc
silver bill will become Il law.

BISMARCK, ID. r., Juno 25.-There Is

Chicago. The Governments cause is looked
after by Gen. W. T.. Carlin. commanding officer
nj the post. He IL awaiting the arrival Of the
Indian Inspector. Gen. Hammond. before sub
hitting his evidence Hughes Ia accused Of
giving Indian annuities to the Indian trader.

ing contracts; with letting contract for two
hundred cows privately with feeding some In
dians too much and others too little; with inn
moral conduct with securing favorable am
davits from Indian chiefs upon false repre-
sensations. telling them that they were receipts
for medals with employing MI interpreter who
can neither read write. nor talk English with
reporting two hundred more Indians than there
are on the reservation: with hnrboring dend-
beats, and numerous other offences. One In

The Doctor goes to see n sick Indian when his
