Obstinate Big Chiefs.
WHY THE SIOUX INDIANS ARE HOLDING BACK FRO,
SIGNING THE TREATY.

SIGNING THE TREATY.
dispatch from Standing Rock Agency, OAK,
August 8 says: The commissioners IN this morn
ings council with Indians succeeded In drawing
out the fact that four chiefs, John Gross, Gall,
Mad Bear, and Big Head, backed by sitting Bull
are holding the Indians back from asserting TO
the act OF Congress 10y Intimidation The chiefs
were asked In open council, In the presence OF all
the Indians, to get up ana say that every Indian
might act as he pleased, and accept or reject the
ofer OF the Government, and that II by thus eN-
pressing hts mind he would give any onense TO
the chiefs he would not be hurt or fhterfered
with on account OF his action The request
sat sullenly In their places and said nothing.
The Indians looked at the chiefs and
waited to hear the reply. The commissioners
then stated that they regarded the silence OF the
chiefs as an admission that they were keeping the
people back under Intimidation, and that the peo-
pie were not allowed 10 speak their true senti-
ments. This caussd considerable sensation, and
the commissioners adjourned the council till Mon
day. Every provision or the treaty has been fully
explained and all objections answered over and
again. The commissioners still believe that q
favorable result may be obtained by taking ume.
The Indians have been assured and treasured that
each Indian shall have the right 10 give his assent
or dissent according 20 his wish and desire.
The commissioners are informed through relia-
bic sources that the number who would sign but
for intimidation Is increasing. John Gross spoke
to-day, and he showed a more comprehensive
knowledge OF the details OF the act than any
speech yet made by any Indian. This fact en-
couraged the commissioners TO persevere and take
more time and In their efforts TO have the act
fully and clearly placed before all.

WILL PROBABLY BE GRANTED.
The news that the British government had asked
further respite for Maxwell, on the ground that
both the murderer and his victim were British
subjects, created some surprise in St. Louis yester
day. Governor Moorehouse has received merely q
formal telegraphic notice that the papers have
been forwarded by mail. and does not know what
action he will take. John l. Martin, one or Max
wells attorneys, says the request for respite was
secured through the efforts OF Maxweii's father
with Lord Salisbury, and claims that new corrobO-
ratfye testimony has been developed which Will
save Maxwell from the gallows- lie Is confident
the governor will grant the respite. Circuit Al
torney Glover was not surprised, and thinks &c
probable q brief respite may he granted. lie Is
nrmly convinced, however, that Maxwell must
eventually hang. The friends OF Maxwell claim
the request for a reprieve comes direct from the
British ministry, while others assert that II Is
simply a petition forwarded through the usual
diplomatic channels.

FOR SOME OF THE SURPLUS,

The number of presumption entries re-
turned to the General Land Office in 1880
was 5,745. In 1887 the number was 81, 435,
showing An increase Of nearly 100 per cent.
The presumption division commenced the
years 1857 with An accumulation of $1,000
unexamined and unsettled cases, exclusive
of contests; and this accumulation is in
creasing.
The cases now being examined are those
In which entry was allowed In June, 1885.
In other words, cash entries for which the
settlers paid their hard earned money, will
not be reached for examination until three
years after entry.-National Domain.
Now, wouldn't it be wise to apply some OF
the "surplus" in examining these applica-
tions and granting titles when they are due ?
The examining force should be doubled and
this work expedited. The United States
will neither survey its lands for settlers, or
to protect them from trespass, nor give title
within reasonable time when the surveys
and settlement have been made and the
money paid, mercilessly Withholding appre.
priations that are demanded by every sense
Of justice and right, and yet all We hear
about is ZONE scheme to deplete the revenue.
First fulfill the obligations of the Govern
ment to it, people that are being neglected
on land n sea. Then, If there is q "sur-
plus" decrease 1t. But be just first.

TOOLE AND THE MINERAL LANDS

We have before US q speech by Delegate
Toole in the House OF Representatives May
24th in which he submits an amendment to
the public lands bill requiring land grant
railroads before acquiring title to lands to
make non.mineral afidavits of each legal
subdivision from personal inspection Of the
afiant, practically tie same as all others are
required to, and providing for like contest.
"And in all such contests it shall be sufi.
ctent to reject the claim or selection of any
railroad company if it appears from the
proof that the land contains lodes Of mineral
bearing matter, which does not pass by the
grant, whether it has been worked or not
or whether it will pay or not to work At the
time of its contest. As between the rail-
road company and the government any and
I'll land that bears mineral which does not
pass by the grant, or gold in placer form in
such appreciable quantities as to render it in
any sense valuable so Is to be likely to be
sought out for its mineral qualities, shall be
considered within the exceptions made by
Congress and shall be considered mineral
lands"
In support Of this Mr.. Toole submits .
volume Of evidence gathered by the mineral
land committee on the question and made .
strong appeal for the adoption Of the amend.
ment, which seems to cover fully the points
At issue. 1t is fair to say that in this matter
Delegate Toole has fully represented the
purpose of those who are opposing the acqui-
sition Of mineral lands under the Northern
Pacific grant. It is not evident yet what the
result of his efforts will be.
