The political atmosphere in this

Most everyone here has a sore
throat from yelling for Roger Q
Mills and g. Cleveland.
Mills has represented us in Con
gress four terms, and was again
chosen to tinker for us, Hon. E. A.
Jones being hs opponent in this,
the 9th Congressional district. ON
the Union Labor ticket The race
was a close one but Mills would
never have gotten there had henot
began tinkering with the tariff as
an electloneerlng scheme, Just at

Nehtion pledged to the people a
retorn OF tie tariff, and what did
they do! Nothing, until the last

great Mill's Bill was introduced as

was gotten up, cnssed and discuss

as blind TO the party. Copies OF
the bill were distributed over Mills

6tondlng Rock, Aug. G.-From developments last
evening Il was believed that tho conference between
the Commissioners and the Indians would be closed TO-
day but the Commissioners avered defeat By refusing
TO confer before Wednesday. In tho meantime Agent
Mclaughlin, who has a wonderful influence with tho
Indians will work night and day in camp and at the
agency to convert tho reds. Iie has tho confidence
OF the Indians and they believe what he says. io has
suffered only one defeat since the conference opened
Tho Indians havo remained at tho agency for fifteen
days Ont OF respect for him they have behaved TO-
markably we'll and in every day as he requested
But when he told them that they should take the text
OF the treaty printed in their Language to read In their
camps they refused II is patent that the Indians de-
sire no advice on the question Of dsposng OF their
reservation but they Will get IT, and for the next two
days they Will get It from Mclaughlin. source to
which they learned 10 look for the unadultcraed
truth. What effect this will have is hard to predict,
but II on Wednesday they refuse to sign the Commits

At last nights council Chief Gall. Packs and

The most sensational that has been received in

among the red there and to report their desires
The Indians all gathered in council to hear the re-
port which to the effect that the Indians
