roots. A house was carried from its founda-
ton and wrecked. The Superior lumber COM
panys refuse burner was blown down and the

GOSSIP FROM LONDON,
The Question of Death by Electricity an
Interesting One.

LONDON, July 29.-The investigation in New
York in the case Of the murderer Kemmler as
to whether or not electricity can be relied
upon to cause a prompt and painless death, is
being watched with considerable interest on
this side Of the water. A correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette writes to that paper to say
that whatever doubts might exist in America,
there is hardly room here to question the GER
tainty of the results of electricity scientifically
applied. Killing, he says, by electricity has
been reduced to absolute scientific certainty
by the experiments of DR.. B. w. Richardson in
his model batterio at Croydon.
CRUELTY TO AUSTRALIAN ABoRIoINEEs.
The society for the protection of the aborigi-
nees in Australia make public some startling
facts concerning the treatment of their special
wards by the whites there. In a letter from
newly discovered gold field the correspondent
OF the society says: "On arriving at Roeburn
we saw gangs OF unfortunate aboriginals
chained to wheelbarrows, with bullock chains.
making roads; others had the chains rolled
round their necks and naked bodies The
effect Of the chains may be imagined in
climate where the stones get so hot that they
can not be handled. The sight was too painful
for most of us from a free land. and we were
glad when our teams started again"

THE CHIPPEWA COMMISSION.
Explanations Made and the Indians
Sign the Treaty.

CHICAGO, July 29.-A dispatch from White
Earth reservation, Minnesota, says: The last
explanations of the act presented by the Chip
pewa commission have been asked for and
answered on this reservation and the signature
of White Cloud, the leading chief, has been ap-
pended to the agreement. At the opening OF
the session Saturday morning he wanted to
know if it could be made certain that this res
ervation would be organized into a separate
county. so they might control the amount of
their taxes. He was reminded by his son,
Charles Wright, an Intelligent young Epis-
copal clergyman, that they could not be taxed
during the first twenty-five years after the act
went into operation. A number of other speeches
were made indicating that they were afraid of
coming under the jurisdiction of the national
and state laws, one of the speakers saying, in a
laughing way, that Becker county had sent an
assessor into the reservation last year to get
the value OF their personal property, but that
he had not taken any valuations because he
was
AFRAID THE INDIANS WOULD BRAIN HIM.
They were assured there was no danger OF
the premature extension over them of the laws
and were informed regarding the exemptions
from a levy on household goods, farming i'm
plements, tools, &c. The full-bloods who
wanted to make sure that they themse Ives
should have the first choice of lands under the
allotment system wanted to know if some of
the Sugar Bush land could not be reserved for
Old Wolf, who especially desired it. The first
indication that the last objection Of the chiefs
was disappearing was the inquiry of White
Cloud at the opening of the afternoon session
to how much of the reservation the commits
sion thought should be sold and why it was
necessary to dispose of it. 1t was explained
by the commissioners that the safest way to
deal with the plan was to put it in the hands of
the government for sales, at least portion Of
it not demanded by their present or future
needs, when the proceeds would be secure,
rather than leave it to be burned or sold by
themselves, which would soon result in their
being
MINUS THEIR PINE AND THE PROCEEDS ALSO
The short session held yesterday before the
signing began was taken up by another re-
hearsal Of the difficulties under which the In
dians labor in making progress toward civiliza-
ton, including reference to the old arrearages
and some complaints about the distribution of
seed and supplies in former years. Many ex-
pressions of respect were made for the commis-
sion and also apologies for having consumed SO
much time in explanation; that the reason Of
their caution was that they had found former
treaties were not fulfilled for want of perfect
understanding between the government and
themselves. Nearly 200 names have been Sc
cured and the work of the commission may be
pronounced entirely successful. This treaty
will open 5000, 600 acres to settlement.
