SITTING BULL.
THE OLD INDIAN STILL CAUSING
DELAY,
A Two Hours Talk Fails to Convince the
Indians---They Would Like Pres
ents before Signing.

ST.. PAUL, August 3.-The Pioneer
Press specials about the Standing Rock
conference are rather contradictory. The
regular correspondent at the agency says
the council lasted hours, but nothing was
accomplished. The Indians refused to
sign. Speeches were made by Gall, Mad
Bull, Sitting Bull and other chiefs. Sit
ting Bull said he was opposed to the
treaty and as many Of the Indians had
crops to look after there was no use keep
ing them in council any longer. Gall
said he never would sign either paper.
A Pierre correspondent says that direct
and reliable information tonight from the
Standing Rock agency is to the effect
that the Indians will sign the treaty be-
yond doubt. The reds are simply hold
ing off for presents and at no conference
has there been any strong opposition to
signing.
Intelligence received from the Lower
Brule and Grow creek this morning is to
the effect that there was no opposition
down there. This confirms the belief
that the commission will succeed in its
work and that within three months the
reservation will be trown open. Cover
nor Church has returned to Bismarck
from Standing Rock agency. He says
that while the Indians are stubborn he
believes the commission will finally IN
duce them to sign the treaty.

Asked about the recent fights and shoot
ing scrape at the post, the doctor said it
was not due to the bad character of the
colored troops. but simply that the men
had started in wrong and the Sun River
affair had intensified the bitterness exist
ing between the troops and Sun River
people. Then another reason probably
was on account of the less amount OF
duty that the men performed as compared
with what they had to do at Fort SMELL

The Miller Case Decided.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-The secretary
of the interior today rendered decision
in the somewhat celebrated case Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
against Guilford Miller. The secretary
says that when the map of the main
line was filed and excepted in 1870 the
general route was fixed and the statutory
withdrawal under section of the grant
ing act became operative. The statutory
withdrawal, having once been put in op-
Grafton, could not again be exercised, its
authority being exhausted, and the CEN
tral route, being once fixed, could not be
amended or changed except by legislative
authority. As no such authority was
given, the attempt to change the general

An Electric storm 1t 81. Louis.

ST. Louis, August AIT o'clock yes
terday afternoon an electric storm set in
and reports show that considerable dam
age was done in the southwestern part Of
the city. The flag staff On the Southern
Hotel was struck by lightning, causing
considerable alarm among the guests and
attaches Of the hotel. At Lafayette park
Joslin Gardiner, park policeman, was
struck and instantly killed by lightning.
The day was the hottest of the season.
While official figures are given at 90 de-
grees, street readings have ranged above
100. There have been 25 prostrations by
heat, five of them fatal. l..'

route by the map Of 1872 was without
authority of law. As Miller's land was.
not within the limits Of the statutory with
drawal, under the lawful map OF 1870, it
remained public land subject to settle
me- pit, Notwithstanding the filing of the
map of 1879, and the attempted with
draw of the land by the commissioners
of the general land office. The secretary
holds that section 6 Of the granting act to
the company absolutely prohibits the
withdrawal by the executive of lands on
the line of the road from the operation
of the homestead and pre-emption laws
and that, in attempting to make the with
dra wal of the lands for indemnity pur-
poses, the commissioner did that which
was prohibited The railroad company
selected Miller's land as indemnity for
lands lost within the Yakima Indian res
ervation, but the secretary says that, in
asrnuch as the supreme court said in the
Bolts case that's fee of simple title to
lands within the Indian reservation,
passed by the grant to the company, sub
ject to the right Of occupancy by the In
dians, the company is not entitled to in
demnity for lands within said reservation
and which have passed to it by its grant.
The effect Of this decision is far reach
ing and will affect about 800 cases now
pending in the central land office and
probably the claims of many settlers
which have not reached them. The de-
nial of the right Of the company to in
Idemnlty for lands within the Yakima In
dian reservation is said to be equally ap-
lplicable to other Indian reservations
along the line Of the road and will. have
the effect Of reducing the claims Of the
company very largely, probably to the
extent of million and half acres.
About two hundred cases are now in the
central land office, which will be affected
by this decision.

The Manitoba Deal,

WINNIPEG, August 2 The terms Of the
agreement between the Northern Pacific
and the Manitoba government were made
public yesterday. The Northern Pacific
agrees to build this year an extension
to Portage and next year to continue the
line to Brandon. No arrangements are
made as to the branch line extensions.
The agreement provides for the mainte-
nance of maximum rates from the pro-
vince to Duluth on wheat and certain
other classes Of freight. This rate is
considerably lower than the Canadian Pa
ciflc rate from Winnipeg to Port Arthur.
The agreement also distinctly stipulates
that the Northern Pacific shall not enter
any pooling arrangements with the Cana
dian Pacific.
