Conflicting Reports from Standing
Rock Agency.
ST. PAUL, August 2.-fs0neer Pres,
specials about the Standing Rock con
ference are rather contradictory tonight
The regular correspondent at the Agency
says yesterdays council lasted ovel
four hours, but nothing was accom-
plished. The Indians refused to sign.
Speeches were made by Gait, Mad Bull,
Sitting Bull and other chiefs. Sitting
Bull said he was opposed tc
the treaty, and as many of the Indians
had crops to look after there was no use
keeping them in council longer. Gall
said he would never sign either paper.
A Pierre correspondent says: "Direct
and reliable information tonight from
Standing Rock Agency is to the
effect that the Indians will sigr
the treaty beyond doubt. The
Reds are simply holding out fol
presents, etc, and at no conference has
there been any strong opposition to the
signing of the treaty. Intelligence from
Lower Brule and Grow Creek this morn.
ing, to the effect that there
was no opposition down there
confirms the belief that the Com
mission will succeed in it's work,
and that within two months the reserva.
ton will be thrown open. Governor
Church has returned to Bismarck from
Standing Rock agency. He says that
while the Indians are stubborn he be.
lieves the Commission will finally induce
them to sign.
