Negotiations with the Sioux.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 1.-The Pioneer
Press specials about the Standing Rock
conference are rather contradictory
tonight. The regular correspondent a.
the agency says yesterdays counsel
lasted over four hours, but nothing
was accomplished. The Indians refused to
sign. Speeches were made by Gail, Mad
Bear, Sitting Bull and other chefs. Sit
TIM Euil said he was opposed % the
treaty. aGd as many Indians had crops to
look alter there Was no use Of keeping tle,u
in council longer. Gail said lie would
never sign either paper and that this
was final. 4 Pierre correspondent says:
Direct and reliable information tonight
from Standing Rock agency to the eneG
that the Indians will sign the treaty. Be
yond doubt the reds are simply hold
ing off for presents and feasts, and =
no conference has there been any strOns
opposition to signing the treaty. lnteili-
gence from Lower Brule and Crow Creek
this morning, to the effect that there was
no opposition down there. confirms the be
lief that the commission Will
succeed in its work and
that within three months the reservation
will be thrown open. Governor Church
has returned 10 Bismarck from Standing
Rock agency. He says that while the In
dams are stubborn, he believes the COM
mission will induce them to sign.

CHICAGO, August "a Daily Ners spe-
cial from Elkhart, Ind, says: Benjamin
Scott, a Texan, who came here recently,
this afternoon fatally stabbed Con.
Crowley, a stock dealer, George
Newall, a leading farmer and capitalist,
and James Smith, a colored porter Of the
Clifton house. Newall and Crowley it is
claimed by Scott, had trespassed upon his
property. Scott said he would stab any
one who would infringe on his rights,
to which Crowley said that a man who
would use a knife was a..cur. At this Scott
drew a pocket knife and stabbed Crowley
in the stomach three times. Newall picked
up a club and sDrdng to Cro7ley's assist
ance. and received a stab in the
left breast which reached the lung.
Smith was also stabbed, but not seriously

Ireatinn With the Sinux Indians.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, OAK, Aug. 8
via Bismarckl.-The commission in this
mornings council with the Indians sue
ceedeI in drawing out the fact that foul
chiefs, John Grass, Gall. Mad Bear and
Big Head, backed by Sitting Bull, are
holding the Indians pack from asserting to
the act OF congress by intimidation. The
chiefs were asked in open council, in the
presence of all the Indians, to get
up and say that every Indian might act as
he pleases and accept or reject the offer of
the government, and that in thus express
ing his mind be would give no offense to
the chiefs and would not be hurt or in
terfered with on account of his action.
TIL request was made and repeated twice.
The chiefs sat ~sullenly in their places and
said noting. The commissioners then
stated that they regarded the silence OF the
chiefs as an admission that they were
keeping the people back under intimida-
ton. and that the people were not allowed
their true sentiments. This caused consid-
cradle sensation. and the commissioners
adjourned the council till Monday. Every
provision of the treaty has been fully e1-
planned, and all the objections an-wt red.
The commissioners still believe that 4
favorable result may lie obtained by tax
ing time. The Indians have been assured
and treasured that each Indian shall have
the right to give his assent or dissent, &C.
co-ding to his wish and desire.
The commissioners Die in ormed through
reliable sources Il at the number who
would sign but for intimidation is increas-
ing. John Grass spoke to-day. He shove
a more comprehensive knowledge of the
details of the act than any speech made yet
by any Indian. This fact encourages the
commissions to perseyere and take more
time and care in their acts to have the acl
fully and clearly placed before all.

Murder and Suicide.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-The mystery sur
rounding the death of Henry Heesch and
his wife was lifted to-day. The couple
were supposed by Heesch's %neighbors to
have l;v>d happily together, and sudden
insanity on the part of one or both seemed
the only theory to explain the death of the
pair, when the CHASTITY bodies were found
in their apartments Monday. This after.
noon a verdict was returned by a coroner's
jury declaring that Heesch, who was a
wealthy ex-salooa keeper, had deliberately
s~trangled his hand; ONE wife and
then shielded by hanging. An
examination of the womans body by the
Jurors had disclosed the parks of her hus-
bands fingers on her neck, and all doubt
was removed when Lewis Mackenstein, who
is engaged t, be married to Mrs. Heech's
sister, testified that on three different occa-
sions Heech spoke of Mrs. Heech and init.
mated that the result would be her death.

Blaine and the Irish American.

At the present time fully third of the
h-American people are in sympathy with
Republican policy. If Blaine should be
nominated. majority of the Irish element
would support him. because the grand break
has been made, and the lrish-Americans can
no, sleep in the same political bed with
George W. Curtis, of Harper's Weekly; or
kepler. of Puck, their most atrocious libeler
and the intimate friend of Grover Cleveland !;
or MANY other enemies of the Irish people.
Irish Americans will support Blaine from no
lust for office. from no belief that he will
trca, them better than American citizens of
other elements, because that would be I'M
statesmanlike and unjust, but because he is
the foremost of living American statesmen,
and has the head and heart TO maintain Ameri
can rights and privileges against all corners,
and in spite of all intrigues.

Injurious Results of the Message.

The di-astrou. effects of Cleveland :
Free Trade message are strongly proved
by the following statement of Andrew
Carnegie, the great iron and steel manu-
facturer:
There can be no truth whatever in the
yarn that my partners are underselling the
pig iron market. have no doubt that my
firm in Pittsburg is getting all it can for its
product That is always our policy. Tn
fortunately, sellers cannot make prices in
these days. Pig iron and rails have fallen
There are hard times just now for iron and
steel-and capital and labor must reconcile
themselves to share the troubles between
them.
The Presidents message has aggravated
the uncertainty that existed before and the
business at present is unsettled. In fact, it
never was at such a stand-still. We have to
sell pig iron because we have no orders for
which we can make it up into rails. Not to
speak of a fight against the railroads | do not
think any price would tempt the latter into
giving orders now. Therefore, we must
either sell pig iron or blow out our furnaces.
| have been considering the latter alternative,
and have come to the conclusion that it will
probably have yet to be done as we NAV not
be able TO get orders for rails until spring. II
that is the case, market can be found for
only a small portion of the pig iron We can
make, and there would be no object
in running our furnaces to store up stock

inquired the reporter.
well, hardly; unless you call an cnor-
nous capacity an advantage. We can make
10000 tons of pig iron month. and profit
of only 30 cents IA ton would mean so 900 a
month As far as the coke question is con
cerned, we are by no means the only ones
who control the ovens that supply them.
Jones laughlin and the Isabella furnaces
are two of the largest pig iron manufacturers
who do the same thing. However, that is
neither here nor there. cur policy always
has been to get all We can for our product

1t is certainly true that in some coun-
