WASHINGTON, Special Telegram. July 81
Congressman McKi1ley, who will be the
next speaker, unless all signs fail, is here.
He thinks the first duty of the Republican
party is to revise the tariff, and he
thinks that duty should have been
performed before taking up questions
Of appointments and patronage Differ
ences and jealousies have arisen over
questions of patronage that may prevent the
harmonious cooperation of the parCy in
congress with the administration. Mai. Nc
KinIey says that in order to command a ma
jority, the bill must be framed in most lib
eral spirit to all interests and must rest on
mutual concessions and intelligent compro-
mise. without, OF course, surrendering the
principle of the protection to home industry.
He thinks such bill would command evan
Republican vote in the house. Maj Mckinley
expects tariff bill will become law aJ the
next session. He does not anticipate serious
trouble over the organization of the house
The Republican majority is certain though
small, and he does not think the Democrats
will do anything so ridiculous IS to tiiibuster
against the election of a speaker. He favors
deferring the attempt TO adopt a complicated
and complete code of rules

A crop bulletin issued to-day gives the fol-

state of the crops throughout Manitoba and
the territories: Reports state there has been
wonderful Improvement in the condition of
the crops during the past two weeks at Nor

Wheat and barley harvesting has began, and

fully two weeks earlier than former years
noticeable fact - that samples of wheat
which will yield twenty five bushels to the
acre can he obtained in any district in the
province or in the territories, and this fact
strengthens the opinion of practical farmers

mates the wheat crop at 10, ,000, 900 bushels,

The Last Council Held Before Sign.
ing Begins at Standing
Rock Agency.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, N. D., Special Tel
egram, July 31.-The last of the councils for
explanation and catechism was held to-day,
and the rolls will be opened at the agents Of
ice for signatures. About the same number
were present to-day as at the other talks
here, and generally the same individuals.
Gov Foster opened the ball with short
talk, in which he hoped no ono would at
tempt his opinion till he had heard the evil
dence. John Grass, as usual, was spokesman
for the lndianA Maj Warner took the floor
to answer the questions and objections OF
John Grass He explained the provisions
for taking land as laid down in the treaty
of 1868, and showed wherein they diff
fered flom the present treaty. He also
complimented them upon the advancement
they had made in agriculture, and assured
them that the great father was very proud
to see it. Mention was also made of the
amount of land each Indian could take under
this bill, as we'll as the amount OF money to
be received from their lands if even only
one-third should be sold. The major con-
cluded in these words: ave are sitting here
as judges to weigh the evidence and decide,
and Judge who determines case before he
hears the evidence is neither fair nor just
After quite an elaborate explanation from
Gov. Foster of the right OF eminent domain,
and further question from John Grass, to
which Maj. Warner made satisfactory an
swcr, Gen. Crook proceeded TO
COVER HIMSELF WITH GLORY
by one of the most impressive talks OF the
entire series of meetings since the begin
ming, concluding as follows: "lf the chiefs
do not accept this new order of things they
must give way to those who have brains and
vigor to do SO. No power can prevent it, for
it is the march of progress and must come.
We want to explain this to you fully, so that
you may provide against the future. You
have families whom you love, and know
that your worry is what will become of
them when you die. The only safe
way is to get your land, have it
yours, and then when you die it will
belong to your families Each of yon must
decide for himself, and the chiefs should re-
member that they are responsible If their in
f1uence leads you astray. You will find that
the government is your best friend, both past
aud in the future. 1 think you have now
heard the bill fully explained and must IN
derstand it. The rolls will be opened at 10
O'Clock tomorrow in the agents office, where
those who wish may sign" The situation here
at this time is unlike anything at the other
agencies. The Indians seem to have more
complete and intelligent appreciation of the
principal features or the bill and to discuss
them with more acumen.

the murderer OF two policemen last Angus
and Harry Smart, murderer of MeiSner Green
and wife, were hanged here to-day. When
the rope was cut both men shot down

through the moose, the rope catching him
over the chin at the lover teeth. He was
seemingly unhurt, and was drawn up by the
rope until his shoulders came through the
trap, when the deputies took him by the
arms and pulled him upon the scaffold. A
new rope was brought into service, and when
the moose was adjusted Dilger asked:
"What's the matter?" When being told @the
rope has slipped its knot" he Said This
shows I should not die" He placed himself
two hops. The drop was again sprung and
he strangled to death.

A Peculiar Law

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-A communication
has been received at the department of state
from Minister Reid enclosing copy of the
new law on French nationality recently
passed by the chamber. Under provisions
of this aot the son Of a naturaltzed French
American who happens to be born in France
is French The son of Frenchman born In
the United States Is French; and, as the law
is silent as to any Limitation in this respect,
there may be. according to this doctrine.
many generations of Frenchmen born in the
United States-a doctrine. which, if it were
enforced by the other European nations,
would make every native born American the
subject of another country. The naturaliza-
tion abroad of a Frenchman, who has
not complied with the military laws is void,
unless he has beforehand secured the au-
thoriSation of his government Native
Americans OF French parentage are not,
therefore, Americans in the eye of the new
statute, and are liable to military service in
France. With reference TO the right of being
domiciled in France the new law states that
all the permssions given heretofore to that
effect will expire in five years from the date
of the present law, and will not be renewed
In favor of those who, within that period,
have not applied for naturalization. This
stipulation affects seriously all Americans
doing business of any kind III France.
