CONVERTING THE SIOUX.

mediate surety---Monday's Conference
g Had to Be Postponed Till To-day In
Order to Head on the surly Reds,
STADN1NG Rock, OAK, Aug. 8. 1t was
believed that the conference between the
commissioners and the Indians would be
closed Monday, but the commissioners
averted defeat bv refusing to confer be-
fore Wednesday. In the meantime
Agent Mclaughlin, who has wonderful
influence with the Indians, will work
night and day in camp and at the agency
to convert the reds. He has the conf
dence of the Indians, and they believe
what he says.
At the private Indian council Chief
Gall, Two-Packs and others spoke, and
after stating their oft-repeated objec-
tions to the treaty they discussed the
question Of ratio MS and other topics
most pleasant to the tribes Gall ad
vised his camp to go to the conference,
which was to have been held Mon
day, and listen respectfully to
what the commissioners had to
say, and then to render the final decision
and return to their FARMS The most
sensational news that has been received
III camp was brought in Monday night
by four Indians, who were sent to the
lower agency to ascertain the feeling
among the reds there and to report their
desires. The Indians all gathered in
council to hear the report, which
was to the effect thas the In
dians of the lower agencies have
decided to sign neither the affirmative
nor the negative paper. Their report
also explains the theory that all the
Indians on the reservation will vote as
do those here, for the runners stated that
the lower braves say they will not sign,
whether their Standing Rock brethren
do or not. This is largely the result of
the work of Red Cloud, who is laboring
ceaselessly against the treaty.

HIS LONG ILLNESS.
History Of the Malsdy Which Terminated

Hiatory Of the Nlalsdy Which Terminated
sheridan's Brilliant Career.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The illness
which resulted in Gen. Sheridan's death
commenced on the 18th Of May last, i'm
mediately after his return from tour OF
inspection out West. He complained Of
feeling worn out, but came down to the
office each day for about q week. He was
then forced to remain indoors, and Tues
day, May ~, he had a severe attack of
heart failure, which greatly alarmed his
family and physicians.
On Friday of the week ending May % he
had several attacks Of heart failure, and
these increased in violence with each
succeeding attack Several times dur
ing his illness it seemed as if
life had become extinct, but, by
the adoption of radical meas
ures, the action of the heart was stimu-
lated and he was brought around again.
His heart one time ceased to beat for a
full second, but the extraordinary watch
fulness and care of the attending physi-
clans brought him back to consciousness
again.
New complications set in it wasdeciued
by the physicians, after several con
sultations, that the patient must be
removed, as he would be utterly
unable in his weakened state to with
stand period of prolonged heat.
Accordingly, on Saturday, June
20, he was, after several delays, placed
on the United States ship Swatara and
taken to Nonquitt, Mass. which place he
reached after several stops, caused by
occurrences of the heart trouble.
