The Question OF Chinese Tonnage Dues
Considered fn the Cabinet.
WAsHIEeroN, Aug. 21-At cabinet meet
ing to-day. the quest on of relieving Chinese
merchant vessels arriving at United States
ports FROM discriminating imposts now inn
posed by law, was considered at some length.
The members present quite generally favored
the removal of heavy tonnage dues and GUS
toms dutirs now levied against Chinese. Sec
retary Sherman expressed the opinion that
the president should do this by issuing a
proclamation, as he is authorized ny law TO
do, and thus relieve the Chinese merchants
from those discriminating duties. Attorney
General Devens, who represented The state de,
partment in the cabinet as well as the depart
ment of Justice, was not prepared to express
an opinion on the subject, and desired time
to investigate il fully. Consequently, further
consideration was postponed until next Tues
day

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 The Wholesale sur
render of hitherto unsubmissive Sioux Indi-
ans, who went into Canada, now taking
place at Fort Keogh, Montana, was not uDex-
pected. and the policy Of the government
with reference thereto was decided upon long
before the Indians b7gan to make their ap-
pearance. Orders were sent t.i the depart
ment commander to permit tue return OF all
Indians willing to surrender unconditionally
and submit themselves and their property TO
the disposition Of this go Oyernment The
Sioux and other Indians coming into Fort
Keogh come virtually IS prisoners OF war.
They will be promptly disarmed and dis
mounted. Their arms and poHiss viii be
sold and the proceeds turned into provisions
for their temporary subsistence. Eventually
they will be turned over to the interior de
partment and transported to some point on
the west side of the Missouri river and ss far
south as possible, where they will be placed
on q reservation and keot there by such
means Of restraint as may be found necessary
The war department does not understand that
1860 or more Indians who have surrendered
or are on their way to surrender at Fort
Keogh have any other thsu merely nominal
connection with Sit ing Bull. They went
