ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

CHICAGO, May ol.-A ST. Paul special
says: Scouts just in from Milk River re-
port that Big Bear is preparing to cross
the border early in June with 500 lodges, to
hunt in United States territory. He an
nounces that if let alone he would harm
nobody, but if attacked, would fight to the
last. This is the same band that encamped
at the half-breed settlement on Milk River
last Winter, and captured Sheriff Hea!ey
and party, but who released them and fled
-l-- 4Aae stvvps hurried toward them from
Fort Assinaboine. Struggling Indians
have been crossing the line for some time.
Major 1lges, who is q very able Indian
fighter, will probably operate against them.
Mormon Converts Arriving at Salt
Lake.
CHICAGO, May 31.-The Inter-Ocesn saws:
If the people in general entertain the de-
fusion that the laws recently passed by
Congress for the extinction of polygamy in
Utah have frightened this class of Nor
mons, let it be dispelled. Instead of keep
ing quiet, the Utah Mormons are as active
as ever in making proselytes. An evidence
OF this was seen yesterday in a train load
OF converts that passed through this city
on their way to Salt Lake. They num-
bered nearly 400, and were only a small
part OF the fruits Of the labor of the Nor
mon missionaries during the last year in
England, Scotland, Wales and Germany.
They left Liverpool the 18th of the present
month, and expect to reach their destina-
ton next Saturday. One of the mission
aries informed the reporter that last month
$50 converts left Liverpool for Utah. On
the 22d of June 500 more will reach New
YORK, and in September about 400 mission
aries expect to continue their work. An
effort was made to learn as to how much
they regard the laws recently passed by
Congress, and with that object in view a
conversation was held with John Cooker.
They were not afraid, he said. They re-
garded the law as unconstitutional, and
would resort to all the means afforded by
the law for testing it. 1t would be carried
to the highest courts, and his people had
faith enough in the honor of the Supreme
Court Of the United States to believe that
the law would not be sustained in the
event of a decision adverse to them. Their
action then would be a matter for future
consideration. He spoke e~onidentially. |
and as if he was prepared to meet any
emergency.
The Statements Regarding the Con.
templated Surrender of Frank
James are Correct.
ST. LOUIS, May 31.-The statements
published about the probable surrender of
Frank James, the noted train robber, on
condition of a free pardon, have caused q
good deal Of comment, and several contra
dictions have been made; but n~otwithstand-
ing the non-committal attitude assumed
by Governor Crittenden, there are several
circumstances in the case which lead al
most directly to the conclusion that pego-
tiations really are in progress having that
end in view, one of which is the presence
OF MS wife and sister and mother here,
Il. j. Halne of Kansas City, the attorney
OF Mrs. Jesse James, who has been here
several days, and is well acquainted with
most OF the affairs of the James family,
asserts mat the statements made regard
the contemplated surrender Of Frank
James are correct, except that neither
Timberlake nor Commissioner
Craig are concerned in the negotiations
Governor Crittenden, but that he
(Haine) is conducting them in behalf of
friends of Frank, who are men of
position and influence, and who are deeply
IN bringing about IN arrange
under which Frank can settle down
and become a peaceful citizen. Haine
says that Governor Crittenden has
gwen q written promise that he will par
don Frank if he surrenders within a GER
tain time, and ia convicted upon trial, and
nat this letter is in possession of Franks
An Interview with Postmaster.
General Howe.
CHICAGO, May 31.-The Inter-ocean had
IN interview with Postmaster General
Howe on the fast mail yesterday, which
closed thus incidentally: 1t is pertinent

would not be considered ~breakneck speed,
.wo whole days could be saved between
