MILE Laos, Indian Reservation,
Sept. 26, via Brainerd, Sept. 27.-The
Indian commission to negotiate the
hoped-fOr treaty with the Mile Lacs
Indians, arrived here tonight, taking
quarters at the Glass place, now known
as JabeZ' farm. The location is on the
west shore of the lake, mile or more
north ofthe north reservation boundary.
The weather has been extremely cold,
ice forming slightly each night for sew
tonight, and prospects for de-
lightful weather. Those now here
are Messrs. Rice and Whiting,
of the commission, Indian Agent
Winter, of White Earth, Editor Theo-
dOre Beaulieu, of the Indian newSpa-
per, tie Progress, at White Earth, and
one or two United States officers, inter
prefers, etc. The commission on arrival
at the lake found no Indians assembled,
although rumors had been sent several
days before with messages to some of
the chiefs. They replied that they were
busy with their rice crop and would
make an appointment with the commits
sion when through with that. This
means delay of several days. Mean
while there have been obtained the
points of the grievances the Indians set
up-and redress of which they will
urge with the commission as a condition
precedent to signing. 1t is chiefly of
oppression by the neighbOring whites,
and especially of damage to their rice
fields by interference with the waters
in numbering operations. The Indians,
probably waiting for the strings to the
sacks of Uncle Sans good things to
eat to be opened. Of this there is an
abundance, and the Indians will be
well treated. The impression Is that
there will be no serious difficulty in
making the treaty desired. Commits
siOner. Rice feels so, and SO
do the others. Farmer JabeZ has
spread himself in the good old-fash-
toned German way to make his dis
tinguiShed white visitors comfortable,
and his efforts are appreciated, as the
commission have SO far had a decidedly
rough time of it. They have now
visited and dealt with the Indians of
five or six reservations, travelling not
less thad 5000 miles, most all the way
by canoes OF on foot, sleeping out at all
times, as did the people they labored
among. They have, however, had few
days rest at Brainerd, and all are in fine
condition. Bishop Waltz did not return
from Dakota.

VERY NEAR FREE TRADE.i
Best Features of the Three Tariff
Bills Before Congress.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27.-Appraiser
Sharrett has transmitted to the secre-
tary of the treasury report in reply to
a request for compilation of the best
features of the three tariff bills pre-
Sented to congress. 1t recommends
protection of home industries, but
urges that raw material and goods not
indigeous to the United States should
be admitted free, especially when they
do not interfere with home Industries,
as wool, tin, salt and lumber. As for
eign wool must be used to mix with the
domestic article to compete with the
foreigner it should be free. as high
cost limits production of raw wool here.
If it is free, the mixed tariff of the sem
ate bill is superfluous. But If a tariff
on raw wool Is to remain, the mixed
tariff is indispensable. and there must
be a pound duty on raw wool,
together with an ad valorem
duty on the manufactured ar
ticles. 1t recites that Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York and the Pacific coast are in
terested in cheap tin, and that the out
put depends upon demand, which in
turn fiuctuates with the cost of the out
put. The demand for canned goods
being decreased by All increased cost of
IL cents adOZen, caused by the tariff of
one cent pound, affects the hundreds
of thousands of people engaged in the
canning industry. 1t recommends free
tin plate, terne plates and taggerS tin.

PALATTNE BRIDGE, n. Y, Sept. 9s.-
The st. Louis express, No. ), which left
Albany at 10 O'Clock last night, met with
a frightful accident about two miles
east of here abOut midnight. The
first section bloke down and stopped
for repairs. The rear brakeman was
sent back to signal the second section,
but for some unknown reason failed to
perform his duty. The engineer Of the
second section says he did not see him.
and the first thing he saw was the
lights of the hrSt section directly
in his front. The first sec
ton was made up Of baggage, mail, eX
press and three passenger cars packed
with people, and a Wagner sleeper on
the end. The crash was terrific. The
second section telescOped into the first
lection, knocking out the lights
and plunging everything into darkness.
Up to this hour (2a a. m.) four bodies
have beenstaken out of the sleeper. 1t
is difficult to get particulars at this
hour. There were fully 800 people on
board the two trains. Relief trains.

It Is regarded in railroad circles as
improbable that the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic will knock at the door
for admission to the ST. Paul d Min
neapoliS Passenger association. Gen
eral Passenger Agent Hibbard, of that
line, is unconcerned about the outcome
of Thursdays meeting, and is confident
that the Eastern Minnesota and St.
Paul & Duluth will stand by him. Mr.
Dodge, of the Eastern Minnesota. said
yesterday that he could see no particu-
lar object in his line ceasing to cooper
ate with the South Shore. The ad-
vantages of membership in the associa-
tion were scarcely great enough to war
rant such action simply because boy
colt was threatened. 1t Is announced
that the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
will shortly put on through sleepers to
Boston in connection with the Canadian
Pacific. Before an arrangement can be
made that would permit of this being
done, the 500 line would have to be
consulted. The latter road is now rum
ming through Boston sleepers over the
Canadian Pacific, and it seems lmprOb-
able that its officials would consent to
any such arrangement as is proposed
by the South Shore. There might be
no objection to sleeper being run from
Duluth. but from opinions expressed by
500 line officials yesterday, there is no
probability of the arrangement being
made without strenuous objection Oh
the part of the 500.

CONFLICTING TESTIMONY.

Enslewcod Disaster

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-The coroner to-
day began his inquest into the causes
of death of the victims or the recent ac-
cident of the Chicago. Rock Island 81
Pacific road at South Englewood. Fire
man La Cloche, of the freight train
which crashed into the passenger car,

thrown against his train until 1t was
within three lengths of the passenger
car and that Engineer Twombley was
sober. As soon as the semaphOre fell
he did everything possible to stop the
train. Brakeman Edward Witted, of
the freight train, testified that he saw
the semaphore thrown against his train
when it was half mile away from the
scene of the accident; that the train
was ahead of time, and that he went
aloft aud began to set brakes under or
ders from the conductor. j. B. Steb-
bins, the watchman at the point where
the accident occurred, testified that the
semaphore light was shown before the
passenger train had stopped.

The Gut in Freights..

The only new phase in the freight
rate situation yesterday was the an
nouncement that the Cleveland, Lorraine
& Wheeling railroad would work in
connection with the Burlington ON the
all-rail rate of 6215 cents from Wheeling,
W. Va. The lake and rail lines consider
that the season is too far advanced to
make it worth their while to pay any at
tention to the rates made by all-rail
lines. The rates from Cincinnati can
not be withdrawn until ten days notice
is given. This has not yet been done,
and the rate will remain in force, the
statement of the president of the Big
Four to the contrary, notwithstanding.
No action will be taken ON the reduced
rates from st. Louis. which were an
nounced few days ago, until the meet
ing next Tuesday. The rates have not
vet been officially issued, and will be
withheld pending the result of the meet
inp.
