REPUBLICANS AND THE TARIFF.

Dissatisfaction Over tho Action Taken on
"Wednesday by the Senate Caucus.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. July 26.-Tbere was almost
universal dissatisfaction expressed by Republic
an members of the House to-dsAy over the action
of the Republican senatorial, conference last
night, which determined to report and take
action on a tariff bill at this session. About
half of the Republicans from !the House went
over to the Senate to express themselves on the
subject, and some OF them werd more forcible in
their expressions than elegantly The Republic
an members of the House held chat the Senate
is ~usurping their prerogative inn leading out on
the tariff question; that il it had been advisable
for the Republicans to put forward a tariff bill
at this time it would have been presented In the
House as q substitute for the Mills bill at the
time the latter was voted UPON They make no
secret of the fact that they bflieve 1t Is ex-
tremely unwiss to put up a measure against the
Mills bill, because a bill as perfe}t as they hope
10 have presented can not be fcompiIeY with
in the short time j9ft for the
work, and then they say UT IS wholly
unnecessary to put the party on tho defensive
when it can continue an aggressive campaign
against the Mills tariff bill. Thef say that after
the Republicans have put mp tfrih bill they
will have to defend it, and that ID will be crlti-

because he was intoxicated. The fact. however.
that a man OF so much wealth as Henderson

Slow Progress in the Work of Persuading the

STANDING Rock AGENCY. Oak. July 26.-The
speech Of Judge Wright. Of Tennessee, in pre-
sentina the proposition OF the governments with
reference to the opening of the reservation. oc-
cupied ell the conference with the Indians. A
better presentation could not have been made,
and tbs Indians were noticeably pleased with
what was said; but 1t is also apparent that the
Indians are firm in their decision to oppose the
treaty. Tuesday nights council showed no
change in their attitude. The speeches of Mad
Bear. Two Bear, Cottonwood, and other chiefs,
were strongly in opposition to the treaty. the

SAID ne was willing to sign. lie was hIssed from

tempt TO speak the Indians dispersed with ex-
p~ressious OF contempt and disgust. Gall is To-
Gated with the indians on the southern part OF
the reservation. and they are still holding coun-
oils. IN which every speech is against the treaty.
The Indians and whites are still anxiously
awaiting the return of Sitting Boil. The In-
dams say that ne was offende. by the election
OF Gall as spokesman. the contest for oratorical
honors being between Sitting Bull and Gall.
The fact that Gall was elected over Sitting Bull
by the Indians will simply increase the length
and fire OF the lstteris speech, for once in the
circle no power other than that of the
military can save the conference from
his tongue. He will speak. aud when he does
tafy and soothing syrup will be discarded. To-
day Chairman Pratt. of the commission. will
explain those portions of the treaty not touched
on by Judge Wright. and it may be that in the
afternoon the Indians will talk. They are be-
ing fed during the conference by the com mis-
sloners. They are not exhibiting impotence.

chiefs, said last evening that he would not sign
the treaty under any consideration When
asked as 10 the probable time 20 he consumed
