Much Trouble Predicted in Making

Much Trouble Predicted in Making a
Treaty with the Indians
MINNEAPOLIS, May Is.-The Tribune's
Standing Rock Agency special says: Re
cent Washington dispatches from promi-
nent men connected with Indian affairs.
Indicate that Gen. Crook and the other
commissioners will meet with trouble in
negotiating the treaty. In speaking of this
agency and the most important in the
Sioux commission problem, il is safe to say
that the commissioners will meet with
much that will Try their recognized ability.
Red Clouds Indians will get S2S, 500 for
705 ponies taken when all the Sioux were
disarmed. After the Custer massacre the
Indians on the agency lost 3, 700 horses aud
the Cheyennes 200, for the payment of
which there is no appropriation, or any evil
dence of any being made in the future
The Indians on the agency will understand
this fact, and when the commissioners ask
them to sign a treaty for the reservation
they will ask the government for the same
justice that Red Cloud gets. This being
denied. il is almost certain fat refusal TO
sign the treaty will be given.

The Atchison's Policy.

BosToN. 16--Kidder, Peabody II Co. say:
"The future policy of the new management
of the Atchison road is not fully decided
on, but there will be at the start only this
general policy: First, to operate the sys-
tenn economically, and for the greatest
good of ali interests. Second, to give the
security holders the fullest possible i'm
formation. Third, 10 make all the advances
that may be necessary for the company's
wants, so long as the earnings 'shall give
promise of being good. The interest due in
June amounts TO S660,6 $50. and in July
to S1,SS1, 200. 1t may be other
payments in July may swell this amount
somewhat The current income will con-
tribute toward these dues and there is II a.
son to think further advances may be
made against the balance of unsold quar-
antee notes BY the time other consider
able pay n.rIlts are due. the character of
1889 crops can be pretty well determined,
and If the situation is then favorable one
course ca.' he pursued; il unfavorable, more
radical assures may have TO he adopted.
This Is not Official, but is an obvious con-
clusion, based on general principles A
consolidated per cent bond has been sug
gested to take up as many as possible of
the present bonds. There are various
methods which can be adopted when the
necessity arises"
