RosEBUD AGENCY, June s, via VALENTINE
The Commissioners held another council with
the Indians yesterday afternoon. Yellow
Hair, an ogallala chief. claims that the
Indians did not understand whether
the money paid under the provisions of the
act for schools came out of the price of their
land; that the treaty Of 1865 promised them
schools for thirty years; that they were enti-
tied to schools for nine YEARS longer,
under that treaty. The commissioners OK
planned that the schools continued under the
provisions of the old treaty. that the expense
was not charged against the money received
from the sale of lands
At the request of Swift Bear. Charles Jordan,
who is related by marriage TO Red Cloud, then
spoke to the Indians, giving reasons
WHY THEY OUGHT TO ACCEPT
the act Of Congress urging every one to do
as he thought was right.
Hollow Horn Bear, orator of the tribe, said
that the. all knew Gen. Crook and would listen
to what he said.
Gen. Crook reminded them that the half
breeds could read and understand what was in
the bill, and were willing TO sign. because they
knew il was best for them. He then said:

He then explained the provisions Of the bill,

Look Out for the Cyclone,


The Secretary Of War has received the fol-
lowing note Of warning from 'Prof." A. J. De
Voc, meteorologist whose weather laboratory
is situated at Hackensack, N. j.:
"During the past twenty years have care
fully studied the laws which produce and con-
troll the movements of storms. The forecasts
on the inclosed card were prepared last Octo-
Der, and You will see that for the past two
months it has been nearly accurate. On the
18th of this month there is a great storm
cyclone due. 1t will form between the 18th
and 18th. and it will form SO suddenly and SO
close over the city of Washington that the
signal Office will not be able to give out any no.
tice OF its approach. So send this timely no
tice in view of the fact that several vessels
have been lost in violent storms owing to their
not being warned Of approaching danger.

CAPT. ARMES' ESCAPE.
His Sentence of Dismissal COMMITTED
by the President.

The long delay in the PRONUNCIATION Of the
results in the Armes court-martial case
came to an end this morning when
the following memorandum was issued from
the Office of the adjutant-general: I'm the case
of Capt. George A. Armes. U. s. A., retired,
sentenced by general court martial
to be dismissed from the service,
the President has committed the sem
tence, in consideration of the good service
which this officer has rendered and of some
mitigating circumstances connected with the
offense of which found guilty, to con6ne-
ment within such limits as the Secretary of
War may prescribe, and to deprivation of
right to wear the uniform and insignia of his
rank in the army for period of five years."
General sentiment is to the effect that Capt
Armes is, to express it as the officers did this
morning, "a mighty lucky man" for this is the
third time he has escaped from dismissal from
the service by virtue of a commutation.
THE LIMITS
to which he will be confined have not yet been
fixed, but it is probable that he will be allowed
to roam over the District and the states Of
Maryland and Virginia, since he has real
estate business that carries him into those
parts.
The deprivation of his right to wear his uni
form, 1t is thought, will be the severest blow Of
all
WHAT HE WAS TRIED FOR.
1t will be remembered that Capt Armes was
tried on charge of conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman. in that he, it was al
legged, intruded himself in the inaugural
parade, created disturbance there. caused the
arrest OF an officer. and made public attempt
to pull the nose of Gov. Beaver. The court
found him guilty, and, as they were
compelled to, sentenced him to dismissal
from the service. But the judge-adyo-
cate. Major Geo. B. Davis, made a strong ap-
peal for mercy in Armes' behalf and it was
generally understood that the sentence went to
the President with recomme endation for Glenn
ency from the court

THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

Mr.. Minister: This message of sympathy
from her majesty, the queen, will be accepted
by our people as another expression of her own
generous character, as well as of the friendli-
ness and goodwill of her people. The disasters
which have fallen upon several communities in
the state of Pennsylvania, while extreme and
full of the most tragic and horrifying incidents,
have fortunately been limited in territorial ex-
tent. The generosity of our own citizens will
promptly lessen to these stricken people every
loss that is not wholly irretrievabfe; and these.
the sympathy OF the queen and the English
people, will help to assuage. Will you, Mr.
Minister, be pleased to convey to the queen
the sincere thanks Of the American people

SENATOR JONES OF ARKANSAS
Complimentary Reference to His ArtI-
 cle on the Clayton Murder.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March PA Washington paper of today publish cd the following fattering article concerning Senator Jones of Ark ansas:
 No publication that has been made in recent years has attracted the attention of the entire country to such degree as the article on the Clayton murder by Senator Jones of Arkansas, in the March North American Review. The importan ce of such an article at this time can scarcely be estimated. A legisla- tive service on the committee of ways and means in the House first directed the attention of the cOun- try to Senator Jones. In his service in the House, which included the Forty Seventh, Forty Eighth and Forty Ninth sessions of Congress, he became known to the country as Legislator of more than usual thoughtfuless and q far better equip ment than is gener lily to be found. His promotion to the United States Senate was the logical and proper sequence of bis course of service in the House. He has so borne him. self in the Senate that the weight of his influence for or against T measure is not surpassed by any number of that body, political pred ilectons aside. This much of pre- liminary explanation.
 With fine, sensitive nature, keen ly alive to anything that affected what he loves, and an affection for his State that is more like a personal than an abstract thing, Senator Jones has come to the defence of his people and state. He indignantly ' donies that the Clayton killing Was in any respect "a political assassi- nation,D but II was simply the act of scoundrsl who did not mean to 20 to the penitentiary for ballot box stealing-tor in Arkansas they send men [. the State prison for such of fences as that ot the "blocks of tiyeo sort of things.
