The Text Book Vote.

The board of canvassers met again yester-
day to consider the objection made by Mr.
Clough in behalf Mr.. Merrill, the text
book contractor, against counting the votes
of the independent school districts which are
not by the law required to use the State
books. After argument by Mr.. Clough and
some discussion of the matter by members
of the board it was decided
not to include the votes of such
districts. In revision of the canvass, how
ever, additions were made to the totals as
given yesterday of 230 affirmative and $50
negative votes, making the totals stand A.
734 for maintaining the text book law and
the contract under it, and 1896 for termi-
mating the contract and abrogating the law.
It was further claimed on behalf of Mr..
Merrill, that the law in providing for this
first submission of the matter to popular
vote requires for repeating the law and con-
tract majority of all the votes cast
at the election when the matter is submit
ted. The provision for the next submission,
in 1885, does not read the same and the
question then will be decided by the majori-
| ty vote on the subject. In recognition of
this claim, but without presuming to de-
eide, the board certified that 100000 votes
were cast at the election in the districts en-
tilted to vote Oh this subject. The claim
being correct, and it is sustained by the
language of the statute, the opponents of
| the text book law lack nearly $4,000 votes
of annulling it.

GEN. N. A. NILES.

Caught for Brief Talk While En- Route to
Washington.
Major General Nelson A. Miles, colonel
of the Fifth infantry, arrived here yesterday
morning en- route to Washington, and by
the noon tsrin continued his journey, ac-
companied by his wife, child and servant.
AS is we'll known, Gen. Miles has been or
dered to Washington for assignment to de-
taohed service, and the people of the North
west, who have admired his conduct of
all affairs which have been under his
control while he was commanding
Oh the Yellowstone, are anxious to know
to what duty he is to be assigned. During
time occupied with business and was able to
give the GLOBE representative only brief
interview. He was not prepared to say what
service he expected to be assigned to, and
could only say then that he had not yet re-
ceived his assignment, though he had been
given to understand that he would be per-
manently detached from his regiment. Con-
cerning his late command and the condition
in which he left the Yellowstone district the
general spoke more freely, though he said
uo Aoo uOeAlue " tCli AL ouulttOA W WAnV
had already been published to the country.
He believed Indian hostillties in that region
were about over. They would not occur on so
large scale as few years ago, because our
forces held the country, while the
Indians were scattered and could not
we'll collect and subsist themselves in Ia rye
bodies. Two thousand of the Sioux hostiles
who went over the borders and have been
popularly known as Sitting Bulls followers,
have surrendered their arms and are at Fort
Keogh. The small band remaining on the
other side would probably surrender early,
were it not for the influence of the traders,
mot licensed or post traders,) who have a
profitable trade with them. He would not
be surprised to hear Of Sitting Bull and his
band coming in and surrendering, but did
not expect it immediately.
General Miles is looking in good health
and spirits, and appears young for one of
his rank and reputation. The people of the
Northwest, and especially of the upper Mis-
souri, Q 'untry, have cordially recognized his
eminent services in solving the Indiar
problems of the Northwest, and will earnest.
| ly wish him further rewards and honors in
| his chosen profession. Gen. Miles came into
the army as volunteer in the war of tht
Union, and earned and received promotions
| and his commission in the regular army b,
distinguished service in many of the mos
important battles fought by the army of th'
| Potomac. Success to him.
