Canadian Indians Resent.

New YORK, Aug ga He,uWs special
from Winnipeg, Manitoba yesterday, says
that the situation i'll the Canadian Northwest
is grave, and daily becoming more critical
and complicated. The Creeks, powerful
tribe, who have repeatedly protested against
Sitting Bulls hunting buffalo on their
ground, and have been pacitied with assur-
ances that he would soon return to the
United States, are FESTIVE under the rapid
extinction of game, and 1000 warriors under
Great Bear assume threatening attitude
The American scourge have slaughtered
nearly all the buffalo south of Battle river
and the buffalo have led south or to the linn
its of Athabasca district Thedestitution of
the Canadian Indians is extreme. Many
cases OF cannabalsm have been reported, aud
one or two Hudson Bay posts have been
plundered by starving savages. Lieut. Gov
Laird, whose seat of government is Battle
ford, has sent his family into Winnipeg, and
his position is very critical. Three weeks
ago the Chief Indian Commissioner endeav-
ored to arrange matters with Great Bear. who
consented to keep quiet until the govern
ment had finally decided the course to be
pursued. Sitting Bulls band was removed
north Of Wood Mountain. but isolated con-
tlicts were going on between them and the
Canadian Creeks and Sauteux. a dispatch
arrived from police at Fort Walsh Tuesday,
saying that they anticipated very serious
trouble. Col. Osbourne Smith, in command
of Canadian forces, left for the scenes of
trouble Friday. The police force numbers
only $50 men, and the Dominion government
is hastily organizing six companies of
mounted infantry. No particulars have been
received of what has happned, but the mes
sage from Fort Walsh was most urgent.
There are three companies of infantry, one
troop of cavalry and field battery here-all
volunteers. The Dominion forces were dis
banded year ago. This account represents
Sitting Bulls following to be 5000 men,
women and children-probably too high an
estimate.

BY direction of tho Treasury Department
all Assistant Treasurers of the United States
will hereafter pay the interest on Governm ent
bonds in gold, If demanded, as was the case
prior to January l. The payment of the Jan
uary interest was in legal tenders or coin
checks on the Sub Treasury mt New York, IL
the lattor were preferred. The bulk Of this
very few instances, in legal tenders, Some
objections were raised because the Treasury
Department did not pay interest in gold on
January /, but sent those who demanded that
coin for their interest payments to New York.
This objection to presumption is now done away
with. If any one wants his interest he can
procure it at any Sub-Trcasury, or at the
Treasury here or at New York. The February
interest will be the first considerable sum that
will be paid out in gold, If demanded, for in
tercst. twill amount TO about S6,000000, bnt
the Department does not expect there will be
any great demand for gold

The committee appointed nc meeting of
colored citizens last Tuesday night to wait
upon the District Commissioners, for the pur-
pose Of seeing If their race could not be repro

day afternoon. Among those present were

Commissioners Phelps aud Dent received the
delegation aud listened to their statements.
Brief speeches we're made by Mossrs. Jerome
A. johnson, Edward A. Atkinson, Richard
Laws, and Isaiah Washington on the subject of
their grievance. They maintained that un.
just discrimination had been made against tho
colorcd citizens, and in the appointments they
were entirely ignored not single colored
man having been selected among the rev men
recently given places in the department.
Commissioners Phelps replied that the ques.
ton had not been considered before by them
They selected the Fire Board but under the
law the latter possess entire power to appoint
men IN the department, and the Commission
ers have not even the right of approval OF such
selections
Commissioner Dent thought the matter
ought to be inquired into, and assured the Wis
itors that they did not make such discIimina'
ton.
1t was finally agreed that while the Com.
missioners had mo- direct power to act, still
they would bring the matter to the attention
of the Fire Board and ascertain whether oil
not there had been any intention to exhibit
Partially detrimental to the coored citizens
The committee appeared satisfied with thu
interview and retired
