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 o-day,
and the rolls will be opened at the agents of
tCe 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 u short
talk i'll which he hoped no ono would at
tempt his opinion ill he lad heard the evil
dence John Grass, as usual, was spokesman
for the lndlanA Muj. Warner took the floor
to answer the questions ana objections OF
John Grass. He explained The provisions
for taking land as laid down in The treaty
OF 1868, and showed wherein they dill
fered fIOm the present treaty. He also
compllmented them upon the advancement
they had made in agriculture and assured
them that the great father was very proud
to zee 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: I'VE are sitting here
az judges to weigh the evidence and decide
and u 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 Il further question from John Grass, to
which Mai 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: IF 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 1t, for
it is the march of progress and must come.
We want to explain this to you July, 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 1t
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 il their in
t1uence leads you astrdy. You will find thai
the government is your best friend, both past
aud in the future. l think you have now
heard the bill fully explained and must IN
derstand it. The rolls will be opened at 10
O'Clock tomorrow III 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 crops during the past two weeks at Nor
den, Glenboro. Cartwright and Deloraine
Wheat and barley harvesting has BEGIN, and
if favorable weather continues harvesting
will be general about the 10th of August,
fully two weeks earlier than former years
A noticeable fact is 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 farm' rs
that partial failure of the wheat Drop is
almost wholly due to bad oy careless farm

mates the wheat crop at 10, OOO, 600 bushels,
and it may possibly go over.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a communication
has been received at the department of state
from Minister Reid enclosing a copy OF the
new law on French nationality recently
passed by the chamber. Under provisions
of this act the son CT naturaltZed French
American who happens to be born in France
is French The son of a 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-
ton abroad of a Frenchman, who has
not complied with the military laws is void,
unless he has beforehand secured the au-
thori1ation 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
domtcled in France the new law states that
all the permissions 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

plains itself fully.
Ysnkton, d. L. Jan. Gath, 1SS9-My
Dear Mr.. Miller: Unavoidable delay IN
replying to yours OF the 18th inst.
l aided in the organization OF the com
pany to construct the proposed railroad
from Yankton TO Norfolk and know its
history, though l am not now q stock
holder or in any responsibility
connected with it. l can state it all in q
sentence. 1t is @ genuine, homes!
and sound movement, and has
behind it the English and Dutch capital
to build it, on certain conditions, easily
fulfilled. MIR. Pierce is the representa-
tive on the ground. of these interests
He is all he appeared, a capable, dIsect
dealing man, and is prepared to do oil
he promises. You can, in other words,
deal with him upon all questions re-.
! gsrding that road, with entire confidence
and good faith. He will do rs he agrees.
There is no danger OF the bubble
bursting, for it is not bubble. 1t is
not o plan to organize and secure aid
ETC., and then see what can be done.
The other arrangements were made fret.
The conditions relate to local aid and
right of wsy. faasibIs routs. chareoter of
country, etc, All these points are de
termined favorably, except local aid
and right of way. The latter is
in definite shape-mostly under
contract. The former, Mr.. Pierce pre-
sented to you aud will present to us
and others. We are getting ourselves
rendy TO act and meet the requirements.
They will soon come to each locality
separately.
I have said enough to satisfy you. I
hope. Now, what l expect Is this. That
nothing will be asked but Gan be done
and will be done promptly, therefore
the line will be under contract very
early in the spring and under oonstruc.
tion as soon IS the season permits.
g psct aiso that tthe Manitoba will be
built to this city and will connect with
that line. Lumber, iron, salt, coal ard
all heavy freights will reach you through
this route.
I expect the finest results to Norfolk
Yankton and adjacent country this
summer. w. 81. a. BEAD1B.
