PLEASED THE INDIANS.
Judge wrlGhVs Presentation of the Gov
ernmenps oHer to the Sioux.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, OAK, July
26.-The speech of Judge Wright, oi
Tennessee, in presenting the PROPOSE
ton OF the Government with reference
to the opening of the reservation occu-
pied all of yesterdays conference with
the Indians.
A better presentation could not have
been made, and the Indians were mo-
ticeably pleased with what was said ;
but it 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 sensation of the even
ing being caused by Black Bull, u chief
who owns farms in the Cannonball val
ley, who said he was willing TO sign. He
was hissed from the circle, but returned,
and on his second attempt to speak the
Indians dispersed with expressions Of
contempt and disgust. Gall is located
with the Indians OF the southern part Of
the reservation, and these are still hold
ing councils in which every speech is
against the treaty.
The Indians and whites are still anxi-
ously awaiting the return OF Sitting Bull.
Indians say that he was offended BY the
election OF Gall as spokesman, the ora
torical hOn0rs 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 latter's speech, for once in the
circle no power other than TINT Of the
military can save the conference from
tongue. He will speak, and when he
does, taGy and soothing syrup will be
discarded.
To-day Chairman Pratt of the Com
mission, explained those portions Of the
treaty not touched upon by Judge
Wright. As the Indians are being fed
during the conference by the Commits
sioners they are not exhibiting impa-
thence. Rain-in.the- Face, one of the
most notorious chiefs, said last evening
that he would not sign the treaty under
any consideration. When asked as to
the probable time to be consumed by
the speeches OF the Indians he said:
''Hhe Indians will not finish until next
ration day." This means feast until
August 6, but the cunning gluttons Hill
be brought to Il decision before that time.

which have eaten the bugs and saved
the grain. Hay and oats are especially

INTERESTING FIGURES.
What tho Tnriff Agitation has Cost OH
Farmers,

What tho Taritf Agitation has Cost Ohio
Farmers.
Columns, O., July 2G.-The compila-
ton Of statistics in the State Auditors
office makes an important showing OF
the wool question, in how much the agi-
tation Of the tariff question and British
free trade has affected the shcep.grow-
ing interest in the State OF Ohio for the
past year. The threatened agitation OF
the tariff on wool, and the Democratic
heresy OF free trade have cost the farm
ers of Ohio, as the statistics in the State
Auditors office show, decrease i'll the
nocks OF Ohio in round numbers of $40,
600 sheep less than in 1887. This has
caused loss to the farmers OF about
$1,000.
The number OF sheep in Ohio this
wear will be shown to be about 3,740,0O
which, ut fair estimate OF 40 cents loss
per head in the price OF wool aggregates
81 ,40G, 900, to be added to the above loss,
thus showing the loss to'the farmers OF
Ohio for this year alone by the agitation
OF this one industry of 81 100000. This
money the farmers, manufacturers, mer.
chants, laborcrs and various industries OF
our State are deprived OF, and the loss is
directly traeeabIc and chargeabIe to the
Democratic party. The State Auditor
will in few days give out for pnbliCa'

Think, Nn,urnl On. /, Giving Out.

PITTSBURGH, July 2G.-Selwyn Taylor,
prominent local mining engineer and
coal expert, thinks natural gus is giving
out. lie says: "Within two years all
iurthcst coal lands will be selling for
what they were considered worth before
natural gas was thought Of. This will
be due largely to the failure OF the gas
fields to supply the demands made upon
them. Gas, like oil, will in time ex-
haust itself. New fields may be opened,
but taking all in all, | think the outlook
for coal was neverso bright since natural
gas came into use. All the large gas
fields are playing out. Murraysville has
seen its best days and all the wells in the
Beaver and Ohio Valleys are going. In
my judgment two years will see an end
to natural gas us fuel"

Columns, o., July 2G.-The most con

so far in the campaign is the manufac'
ture and sale OF Grand Army badges
with picture of the great vetoer OF pen

They have been on exhibition here fol
some days, but up to last night no one
had the gall to insult the ex-soldiers by
wearing one. Last night u young man
was seen parading the streets with onC
of these badges on his breast.
There is a law in the State which pre-
vents unauthorized persons from wear
ing G. A. X. badges, and the next fellow
that comes along will be apt to be made
an example Of.
No decent firm will manufacture and
put on sale such campaign goods. II
should be ascertained who are engaged
in this neiarious business, and then lei

plying to the presentation speech Of
Lord Granville on the occasion OF his
golden wedding yesterday, said that he
wished to endorse all that the address
Of his Parliamentary colleagues con-
tained in reference TO Mrs. Gladstone.
1t would be difficult, he said, to give an
adequate idea of the happiness of his
married life, but he felt that the allu-
sions TO himself were too IIattcring. His
conduct had often been criticised, some.
times unjustly, but on the whole the
criticisms had been more beneficial than
otherwise 10 him. He could fairly say
that he was hardly able to recall an in.
cident Of his public life that was in any
way painful TO reCollect.
Mr.. Gladstone has expressed himself
as desirous Of conveying his thanks for
the many kilograms and letters he has
received from America, congratulatiug
him upon his golden wedding.
