A Pine Ridge special dated the 18th
inst. says: Late this afternoon the
Indians assembled in council with the
commissioners. misunderstanding
Horse, Red Cloud, Little Wound,
upg-Man-Afraid-o His-Horse and
Blue Horse spoke against the bill and
some of the half-breeds in favor of it.
Red Cloud was very vicious in his
speech, referring constantly to the pro-
visions of the treaty Of 1868, which he
said had not all been fulfilled, and say
Ing that they wanted to be paid what is
now due them before giving up more
land. The speeches of the other chiefs
were in a similar strain although not 30
radical. Maj. Warner and Gen. Crook
and Governor Foster spoke at length in
reply, explaining again the provisions
of the bill and why they should sign.
Gen. Crook told them that if they are to
live at all they must become self sup
porting. In a pond, he said, the big fish
always swallow the little ones, and when
the white men come among the Indians,
as they will do the same in a few years
in spite Of all the government can do to
prevent them. The Indians will be the
little fish unless they agree to the pro-
visions of this bill and protect their
lands by getting patents on it. He told
the Indians the trouble with them is
they always get advice from men who
want to live off them. After the talk
Red Cloud decided not to sign, and
added that he wanted all the Indians
that signed put off the reservation. He
was impertinent and said he wanted the
commissioners to pack up and leave to-
morrow. Gen. Crook stopped him and
recited to the Indians some instance Of
Red Clouds duplicity. After the council
broke up the Indians began signing and
up to 10 O'CLOCK tonight about $50 had
signed. A large number still declare
opposition to the measure"

Sitting Bull. the notorious Sioux chic
who was recently reported to be dying
at Standing Rock agency, is now said tt
be in a fair to recovery. He is bitterly
opposed to the opening Of the reserva'
ton, declaring that he never has, and
never will sign a treaty. 1t seems a
pity that his disease was not strong
enough to have relegated him to the
happy hunting grounds, where treaty
annoyances are unknown.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Aug. Chester
county was visited by one Of the heaviest
ram storms known here for years. The
most serious damage done was the wash

Valley creek, running through Chester
valley, has not been so high for twenty
years. The meadows along the creek
are covered with water, not even the
fences being visible in many places, and
small farm buildings have been washed
away by the floods. The Brandywine
and Chester creeks were proportionately
high. Roads along each Of these streams
are impossible, being from three to Ave
feet under water.

KENNETH, Pa, Aug. 1.-The almost
continuous rains throughout this section
have caused great damage to tlac crops
and much annoyance TO the mill owners
located along the various streams. On
Monday night the big dam at Landen-
berg formerly Chandlerville), on the
White Clay creek, was discovered to
have sustained singular and serious
break. The water had forced its way
underneath the dam some distance back
from the breast, and gradually but rap
idly undermined the whole structure
Every effort was made when daylight
came to prevent further disaster, but the
high water of yesterday rendered this
futile and practically completed the de-
-struction. The dam was one of the larg.
est and strongest in southern Chester
county.

PAssA1c, N. j., Aug. The rain
storm that broke over the city was the
most severe that has been known for
many years. The floods that passed
down the avenues from the 'sHillH

east Of the railroad and overlooked into
easements and cellars all along its
course. Foaming torrents ran down
Bloomfield and Howe avenues. Cess

done to newly made lawns.
