That is the Condition Of Negotiations
In the Conference now Pending
With the Sioux.
The STEADY Pressure Policy Being
Brought Into Requisition But
Thus Far Without Result.
Sitting Bull Reported to Have Ar
rived, Though in a Very Dis
gusted Frame of Mind.
No Noticeable Change.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, OAK, July
30.-[Special.l l-C Chairman Pratt of the COM
mission having taken the military wire
from the press, it will be necessary to send
all reports by courier, but the news will
reach you promptly and accurately. Pratt
is in a rage because your correspondent
will not permit him to dictate reports and
suppress the truth if unfavorable. The
STEADY pressure" policy has been adopted
and an effort is being made to swing few
of the chiefs into line for the treaty, and
thus secure their influence among the In
dians. While the Indians in their private
councils declare that their decision of Fri
day was final there is an undercurrent
among them which IS encouraging to the
commissioners, who still hope for success.
Some of the chiefs have admitted during
the last twenty-four hours that they do
not know just what is meant by many
clauses of the treaty and they are willing
to remain for explanations. They are also
willing to remain for the food which of
necessity must be given them while they
are held at the agency. Among the chiefs
who say they do not fully understand the
treaty is Mad Bear, but while admitting
y
will not sign. There are
NUMBER OF D1sGRUNTLED LEADERS
among the Indians, as they were omitted
from the list of orators selected by the
tribes. These have learned that they can
speak, and to get even with the more pop
ular leaders they may take the opposite
side of the question and advocate the sign
ing of the treaty.
Reports just arrived are to the effect that
Sitting Bull has consented to come in and
that he will be here to morrow. He is very
much disguised with the Indians for hav-
ing remained to talk so long with the com
missiOners and says they act like babes.
He will prove disturbing element unless
he stands upon his dignity and refuses to
talk. 1t is said that he will be silent as
long as the Indians refuse to sign, but that
if they show an inclination to accept the
treaty he will enter the circle and speak.
The commissioners are hoping that they
can present the proposition in such way
as to remove from the Indians minds the
suspicious and prejudices which have ar
rayed them against the treaty. Red Cloud
Of the Pine Ridge agency is
STILL OPPOSING THE TREATY
and the Indians have runners between
the agencies, so that each tribe is kept in
formed Of the action of the other. The
conflict OF minds between the commits
sioners and the Indians during the next
few days will be an interesting study. it
begins to look as though the statement of
4 hold the conference until next ration day
was well founded. 1t is not improbable
that the Indians have a we'll conceived
plan to hold the commissioners until that

ALGER COMPLIMENTS HARRISON.
After an hour passed in handshaking
General Harrison arrived home shortly be-
fore noon, just in time to welcome the ar
rival of his guest, Gen. r. A. Alger, the
distinguished gentlemen meeting for the
first time. At o'clock about 900 members
of the visiting delegation, accompanied by
bands and committee from the local Har-
rison and Lincoln clubs, marched out to
the Harrison residence for the purpose of
calling on Governor Alger. General Har-
rison pleasantly introduced General Alger
to the crowd who greeted him with cries of
"What's the matter with Alger? ?" In the
course of his speech General Alger said:
II composed few speeches few weeks
ago and General Harrison has been deliver
ing them ever since [laughterl. After
reading his speeches carefully. each one a
gem of concentrated thought, have made
up my mind that the Chicago convention
made no mistake [applausel. We have
not held any post mortem in our state.
We are glad we have such gallant candi-
data man in whose composition no tflaw
can be found and in whose life no action or
word can be adversely criticised. We are
all Harrison men in Michigan now and the
place he has in our hearts is just as
warm as though he lived within our own
borders [applause]. You Hoosiers have no
patent upon this iapplause]. The people
of the United States have great crisis
before them. The question as to the life
and prosperity Of our industrial institu-
tiOns are at stake. We have, as we have
always had ever since this country was
worth caring for, the opposition of the
English government.
