THE PINE RIDGE INDIANS.

The philadelphia Indian Rights AssO-
citation COntesting the Case.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The investi-
cation into the management of the Pine
Ridge Indian agency and the charges in
connection Herewith against Agent
McGilicuddy, which has been held with
closed doors in the Office of the Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs, was concluded
yesterday. The commissioner reserved
his decision.
The tight in this case is between DR..
Bland, of this city, and Senator Dawes
and the Indian Rights Association of
Philadelphia. DIR. Bland has been fighting
for the removal of McGillicuddy for
years, and the Indian Rights Association
has taken sides with the agent because,
in his government Of the Indians, he has
adopted the policy which it deems to be
the best for the Indians. DR..
Bland thinks that the commits
sioner's decision viii be in his
favor. He says that if McGillicuddy is
not removed the Indians will kill him.
He is not pleased with the action of the
commissioner in not compelling the In
dians who accompanied McGillicuddy
here to swear to the truth of their state
ments. Senator Dawes and Gen. Whit
tlessey, president of the Indian Rights
Association, have been acting as McGil-
licudy's advisors during the investiga-
