OF general was revived by congress, to

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Aug. THE
county convention held here to-day was
one of the largest and noisiest pow-wows
ever held in this county, only two towns
not being represented. The city of
Fergus Falls elected majority of Mer-
riam-McGill delegates, consequently
that faction were in high spirits, but
when the incoming trains brought in
the solid Scheffer delegations they lost
all hope. ALI their efforts to make a
break in the Scheffer line proved una
vailing. The rural delegate for once
was posted and on his guard. The
Scheffer faction gained control of the
convention at its opening by choosing
Eric Frankberg chairman without a
contest. After permanent organiza-
ton was effected at 2 p. M, a motion
was made to elect the eleven delegates
in body. This aroused the ire of j. w.
Mason, the resident attorney of the ST.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway.
But the vote showed clear majority
for the Scheffer faction. Mason, as
sisted by Plowman, commenced a sys-
TEN of filibustering that was disgrace
full in the extreme, and when the chair
refused to entertain motion to substi-
tute a nomination, eighteen. led by
Henry Plowman and James Compton,
Withdrew amid Kisses. The convention
proceeded to elect eleven Scheffer dele
gates, they receiving vote of 81 out of
l34, constituting the entire convention,

New YORK, Aug. I'm regard to the
peculiar manner in which the commits
sioners are trying to gain the consent
of three-fourths of the Indians at Stand
ing Rock agency to the surrender of a
large portion of their reservation, the
Tribune says:
What the commissioners are now doing
is only too apparent. They are trying
to bulldoze the Indians; trying to in
timidate them into consenting to the
treaty, and, what is worst of all, trying
to do this by alleging the dishonesty
and perfdy of their own government.
The Sioux are plainly told that
they must, not rely upon the
good faith of congress, nor believe that
It will keep its engagements; and in the
same breath they are chidden because
they suspect the sincerity of the govern
ment in its promises of payment of their
land. Surely cyniciSm can hardly go
beyond the exhibition these commits
sioners are now making at Standing
Rock. This is their idea of negotiating
treaty." to threaten the other party
with bigh-handed cOntiScatiOn Of their
lands if they refuse to sell them for less
than they believe them to be worth to a
government whose good faith they have
already had score of reasons for doubt
ing. We are compelled to repeat what
we have said before, that the most brutal
and reckless seizure of Indian lands
would be less discreditable than the
methods at present being employed. If
the country is not again to be disgraced
by the immortality and baseness of its
Indian policy, the commissioners at
Standing Rock must be instructed to
suspend their bulldozing tactics and to
tell the Indians that they are free to de-
eide the question for themselves. In a
word, the country must compel con-
gress to stand by its own laws, and the
outrageous intimation that unless the
Sioux yield to threats they, will be
plundered in cold blood by the people
of the United States, must be repudi-
ated and rebuked emphatically.

Grass closed his speech by calling upon
the Indians to disperse and leave the
agency, grand break was made, and
but for the action of Agent McLaugh-
lin the commission would not have been
given an opportunity to adjourn. AS it
was, the Indians remained long enough
to hear that the conference would
now be adjourned indefinitely. That
the commission would leave for other
agencies and that after the other
tribes had taken action Standing Rock
would again be visited. The commits
sioners will go from here to the
Cheyenne agency where the friendly
Indians are supposed to reside. But
the chiefs here say that nowhere on the
reservation will the Indians sign. In
conversation with Rain-in-the-Face to-
day, he was asked if he thought the
Indians here would sign if the Indians
at the lower agencies do on the COM
miSsioners' return. His only reply was

over the defeat of the commissioners
and says that the Indians have some
sense. He is not gleeful over the prom
political enemy Gall but as he has been
doing most of the WORK with the Indians
of the lower agencies and has been
prominent in the opposition he considers
it great personal victory. Gall, John
Grass, Mad Bear and Big Head,
the chiefs who have been do
ing the talking for the Indians
in the conference, are greater men than
ever tonight. They are looked upon
by their people, not as warriors, but as
victorious statesmen, who have success
fully coped with the whites and beaten
them at every point. The Indians will

A BIG FEAST IN CAMP
tonight, and the news of the defeat OF
the commission will be sent out to the
other agencies by their most trusty
couriers. Already several couriers have
been sent out, and before the commits
sioners reach the other agencies, the In
dlanS they go to confer with,
will be jubilating over the re-
suit at Standing Rock. For sixteen
days the commissioners have been here,
and they leave without having obtained
the signature of an Indian. The 11,OOO,-
600 acres of land will not be opened for
settlement, and the people of Dakota
will be compelled to await some action
on the part of congress to develop the
resources of the vast area. 1t is sore

No new developments need be expected
for a week. Commissioner Cleveland
was absent from to-day's conference,
having gone to the relief of the. family
killed by moving machine at the Pine
Ridge agency. Hanford was the mis-
sionary at that agency, and his death
left his wife and children among the
Indians, with no white person within
fifty miles.
