The Dakota War.

Special To the It. Paul Pioneer Press.
WAsnINHroS May 9.-Delegate Petit
grew has filed with the secretary of the
interior a list Of charges against Gov.

papers were fled 4 month ago and Gov.
Ordway filed with the department few
days since an affidavit denying the
charges and impugning the testimony Of
certuin men whom Peuigrew brings as
witne>.c, in his favor. An attempt was
made to get ut the charges yesterday,
but Assistant Secretary Bell declined TO
make ttc papers public until tllev had
received further consideration at the

shOuld not pass. lie vetoed innumer-
able ills and resolutions, and nearly all
of these the legislature passed over his
