BRAINERD, Minn., Aug. 15.-NOthing
was heard from the Chippewa Indian
commission since its departure for
Leech Lake until today, when Frank
Clause arrived from that point, having
taken supplies to the commission. He
makes somewhat alarming report of
the situation there, indicating not only
probable failure to gain the signatures
of the Indians there, which would de-
feat the whole scheme for Minnesota
and Wisconsin, but arouSing fears of
violence on the part of the Indians.
The commission. Clause says, had OBJ
tanned no signatures, but after canvass
ing the matter, had found fully one
half Of the Indians willing to
sign, while the other half were
deadly opposed and offered armed
opposition to the others signing, threat
ening to kill the first who did sign. The
two factions are led by two suD-chiefS
in the absence of the Head Chief Flat
Mouth, who has gone to Red Lake to
counsel with the Indians there who
lately signed. The sub-chiefs are
Know-Ghe-Sec, who opposes, and Chen
O-Wa-Gi-Shig. The latter who achieved
fame as guide to Capt. GlazleT on his
SACulSloll d lew years ago, di'o sup
ports the commission. There was

night, and young Indian. one of the
"klckers,n was shot. Immediately the
parties rushed to arms and a battle
was only averted by the determined
action of Capt. Shuler, agent at White
Earth. who is with the commission.
Shuler had sent a messenger to the
nearest telegraph station with request
to send either civil or military aid.
These Indians are pillagers and in
clined to factional fights, though al
ways friendly to the whites. A half
breed runner since, who left Leech
Lake Yesterday morning some time after
Crouse's departure, arrived this even
ing, and tells still more alarming
story. He says that all the Indians
have taken arms, and there is sure to be
battle and perhaps massacre. unless
the attempt to obtain signerS is aban-
doned. Tie trouble all grows out of
the unpaid claims for damages from the
upper Mississippi dams that flooded out
their rice fields.

until his guest has eaten it. Then he
takes up another bunch and forces it
through until the visitor has it. This
continues until the officer returns for

meals. No doubt, If it were possible,
Billy would wait on his guest and them

SOLACE FOR SUSAN b.
North Dakotans Will Vote on the
Question Of Woman Suffrage.

BISMARCK, Dak., Aug. 15.-The re-
port of the committee on elective fran-
chise as reported back by the commit
tee on revision, was adopted finally.
This makes it necessary to submit the
question of women suffrage to vote
of the people before extending suffrage
to females. 1t provides that the general
elections of the state shall be biennial,
and shall be held on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November, and
gives women the right to vote at all
school elections. The article on mu-
nicipal corporations was adopted. The
section providing that no city, town
OF village shall ever become a
subscriber to the capitol stock
or owner of stock of any railroad or pri-
vate corporation being stricken out.
The article on railroad and other cor
porations has been the bone of conten-
ton of the afternoon session, an effort
being made to have it so amended that
the courts of the state shall have the
power to decide what are just and rea-
sonable rates. A hot debate of several
hours on this proposition
CULMINATED IN A COUP
between Delegates Purcell and Lander,
both of Richland county, Purcell
championing the amendment and Lam
der opposing. The article provides
that all existing charters or grants
of special or exclusive privileges under
which a bona fide organization shall
not have taken place or business been
commenced in good faith at the time
the constitution takes effect shall there
after have no validity; compels foreign
corporations to have one or more places
of business, and an authorized agent in
the territory upon whom process may
be served before tranSacting business.
An amendment offered by Parsons, of
Morton, providing that the rates fixed
by the railroad commission or the legis-
lature should be in force pending the
decision of court was adopted. Griggs,
of Grand Forks, introduced the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted by
unanimous vote:
Resolved That this convention heartily
indorse the proposition to hold the worlds
fair in the city of Chicago, thus bringing the
great exposition nearer to the homes of peo-
pie of the West near the center of the conti-
nent ana near the center of the population
which goes to make up the American union.
The resolution was adopted amid i'm

ress now being made, it may be several
days before the article locating the pub

VALUABLE LETTERS STOLEN.
A Pouch of Registered Mail Fill
Ched by Tennessee Thieves.

CneQ Dy tennessee SnleVeS.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 15.-The
local post Office authorities are excited
over the mysterious disappearance of
bag of mail, intended for a station be-
tween Nashville and New Orleans. the
excitement being intensified by
the fact that this IS the second
which has been lost within
the past three months. The bank Off
cialS here are also greatly interested, as
1t is understood the missing mail con-
tanned many checks. The postoffice de-
partment at Washington has been noti
fed, and a special agent will be sent to
this city to Investigate the matter. The
mail left the postoffice on Monday night
last, and the contractor who conveyed
the mail to the depot declares that he saw
the driver of the wagon place the
bag in the car, but is not sure
it was put in the right one. The
loss of the first mail bag on the 7th of
May last, has never been accounted for,
although search was made on the vari
Gus lines in hope that some clue as to
its whereabouts might be obtained. The
impression is that it was stolen from
car and the letters rified of their con-
tents. The banks will be greatly in
convenienced by the loss, and it will
take them two months to get their busi-
ness Strengthened out.

DEATH BLOW TO REGULATING
Fourteen Prominent Louisianians
Committed Without Bail.

LAFAYETTE, La, Aug. 15.-Every
available seat, as well as all the stand
ing room in the court house, was occu-
pied to-day by persons anxious to wit
ness the closing scenes in the trial of
Lafayette regulators, charged with
murder, Jail breaking and resist
ing the sheriff. The case has
been in progress since Monday last.
Attorney General Rogers stated that
the state had failed to make out a case
against Auotole PreauX and Ferdinand
Broussard, and requested that they be
discharged. This was done, and three
others admitted to bail in $500 each. and
the others, fourteen in number, were
committed without bail. The decision
of the judge was a surprise to the
friends of the regulators, as it was
thought the prisoners would be
allowed bail. The prisoners were very
much depressed. Their confinement,
outside of their personal discomfOrts
from Jail life, will be serious blow to
their business; majority of them are
farmers, and their crops without their
attention will 60 to ruin. Those who are
opposed to regulating applaud Judge
Edwards decision, as they believe it
