early council would have to be called to
consider it. Sir Donald A. Smith, Al. p,

leot, which, he declared, came to him like
thunder CLAP. He considered the matter
now out of the region of personal politics,
and raised to the level of an important
question of government policy, therefore,

Signing the Treaty,

PIERRE, OAK, August 24.-Messrs
Pratt, Wright and Cleveland, members OF
the Sioux commission, passed the day in
Pierre. They are en- route to Crow creek
agency at Fort Thompson. They say the
only opposition at Standing Rock was
from the chiefs. This opposition is
rapidly disappearing, as it is shown by
the fact that as the boat was leaving Big
Thunder Standing Bear came aboard
and signed. Captain Pratt expressed las
belief that on the return to Standing
Rock every Indian will sign and the treaty
will be ratified. The Indians came over
the river in large numbers when they
heard the commissioners were here, and
have been signing all day.

Blaine nm Ample of piscord.

New YORK, August 24.-Campaign work
is progressing at both headquarters.
There is no question but that the re-
publican committee is in state of serious
quarrels, mainly with regard to Blaine,
who has already proved an element of
discord. When he landed Chairman Quay
told him the national committee had de-
cided to make fight on the tariff question
solely, and told him to discuss that alone
10 his speeches. Blaine apparently pur-
posely disobeyed the order in his Portland
speech, and altered the sentiments con-
corning the truth that have compelled the
republican papers to explain. Quay and
Harri5on's friends are determined that
Blaine must either leave the stump or
obey orders, while the Plumed Knights
friends are equally determined he sh all
remain the star of the campaign. The
quarrel has already had a disastrous effect
on the campaign.
