New York, and that he made his
objections sufficiently krown to you on
Mondsy evening, the 10Th of January,
at a meeting of the Committee Of Advise
ment, considered the terms of the bill
alphabetically and submitted TO it. That
at that meeting opposed themi that you
were dumb as an oyster rs TO Mr.. Til
den's opinion; that finally we all agreed to
support the measure, most OF Us
believing it the emanation OF our chief.
| have charged and l do charge that
your failure to deal frankly with US on
that occasion; your failure, to tell US
what Mr.. Tilden had said to you the day
before, was a practical suppression of his
more sagscious counsels, and to all intents

AFTER THE INDIANS.
Gen. BradIey's Command Delayed by
High WateTs-Blne Mountains Full
of the Red Marauders

CAMP ON BELLE toRCHE, June 90
Via Deadwood, ID. T., June 22.-Csptsin
Bradley's expedition reached Belle
FOrche river on Tuesday evening, the
18th, and went into camp, remaining in
camp on the 10Th, and making prepsrs-
tIons tor fording the river, which Is at u
high stage. Owing TO the high water
and overflow, it was necessary to
corduroy the approach TO the river. On
the night Of the 10Th the river rose four.
teen inches, and was still rising On the
10Th. Should this continue, it will be
impossible to cross for several days. The
heavy rains and consequent bad roads
have done much to delay the movement
of tle command since starting, and the
Little Missouri river will not be reached
till the latter end of the month Instead OF
the 10Th, as was expected. 1t IS not yet
known whether General Bradley will es.
tsbish the permanent camp on the Lit
tie Missouri river, which is only two
days march from the present camp, or
on some of the beautiful tributaries of the
Belle Fouche river. Several large par
ties of miners have passed through the
camp en- roIte 10 tongue river from the
Hllls.

BERLIN, June 23.-The Congress at
Mondays sitting will discuss the details

OF the province will be next dis
cussed. The conditions laid down
by Russia are absolute. 1t is understood
that the negotiations relative to the guar

will give rise to an snimsted debate.
The question of the evacuation of the
fortresses will also arise in connection
with the organization OF Roumelis. The
Russian Privy Councillor, Schloeger, ar
