A Mammoth Mortgage.

MILWAUKEE, June ia mortgage
covering every dollars worth of property
owned by the Chicago, Milwa ukee & St.
Paul Railroad company. except its lands,
has been filed with Secretary of State Tin
ner. 1t is given in favor of the United
States Trust Company, New York, and is
for the sum of S15O,OOO,OOO. The mortgage
is executed for the purpose of carrying
out the funding scheme of the company.
The plan Is to make the trust company the
sole creditor in order to secure lower rate
of interest. This object is to be achieved
by the issuance of bonds OF the value of
$1,000 each, to run 100 years. 1t is speci-
fed that the interest on these sureties shall
not exceed 5 per cent. or be less than per
ent.'of the total. The sum OF $11S,OOOOOO
will be reserved to retire outstanding
bonds. $SOOOOOO will be used to fund 9oat-
ing debt, and the balance issued at the
discretion of the directors.

A st. Paul Sexless Freak Arrested fo

A st. Paul Sexless Freak Arrested for
Chicken Stealing.
ST. PAUL, June 19-Dr. Ohage yesterday
examined Vavarin Sirabuski, the appa-
rently sexless child discovered some time
ago by Agent Hutchins. The father of the
child, an Ignorant Pole, had after long re-
sistence given his consent to have an opera
tion performed on the child by the doctor,
but last night he changed his mind and
refused to submit the unfortunate creature
to the operation. DR.. Ohage thinks the
operation necessary to give the child sex
is not very dangerous, and believes that
after the operation the child, W hich up to
the present time has been clad in girls at
tire, will prove to be strong, healthy boy.
Since the authorities cannot compel the
father to allow the operation as long as the
child is in his charge, the poor creature,
who is now under arrest for chicken steal
ing, will be sentenced to the reform school
and while there the operation will be per-
formed.

Property.
The Mortgage is Executed to Carry
Out the Funding Scheme of
the Company.
The Situation Improving.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, June 19.-The
condition has somewhat improved since
yesterday. The excitement has subsidized
and better feeling seems to prevail. The
Indians are now asking for information
singly or in parties of two or three instead
of complaining about the violation cf the
treaty, which has been the constant bur-
den of their talk until to-day. With few
exceptions, none of the chiefs have been
willing to even discuss the question of the
sale of their surplus land. Last evening
and to-day Gen. Crook had an interview
with many prominent Indians and squaw
men, and explained the provisions of the
bill to them personally with good
effect. During large council the
Indians have been bound down
to an agreement Of their caucusing and
have been unwilling to go beyond in the
council. This afternoon they mixed up
with good deal of mere talk to take up
time. There seems to have been real de-
sire to have matters explained. While this
fact cannot be accepted as particularly
favorable, it is nevertheless something
gained and lays the toundationlfor the conn.,
missioners to build on. Every condition
is warmly contested and success can only
come after hard and persistent work. Dur
ing the council American Horse
made an amusing allusion to the
chairman of the committee. He said
that as he understood he had been
formally adopted as a member of the Sioux
nation at Rosebud, he would expect him to
take more personal interest in their affairs
than the other members. He also alluded
to another member who is fond of horse
back exercise, and said they had fat ponies
and pretty women. and that he could take
his choice of their ponies and women to
ride about with. In this way he hopes to
be able to keep the commissioners here
long enough Ito have everything properly
explained. These remarks seemed to be as
thoroughly appreciated by the Indians, as
by the white people present. Signatures
have been taken slowly all day. At IS p. M,
$50 had signed.

A Storm in Kansas.

lola, Kas., June l7.-Allen county suf-
fered severely during the past thirty-six
hours from floods in the Neosho river and
its principal tributaries. The streams
have been unusually high all the spring,
and heavy rains Saturday night brought
them out OF their banks, flooding bottom
lands for miles on either side. There has
been no loss Of life or live stock. Many Of
those living ON the low land were warned
in time, but it is feared hundreds Of acres
of wheat which is just ripening, and which
promised an uncommonly large yield, will
be total loss, while submerged corn and
other crops will be greatly damaged. The
st. Louis, Wichita and Western railroad
bridge across Rock creek, east of town, has
been undermined, and is only held by the
iron track from going down stream. On
either side of the bridge nearly quarter
Of q mile Of track has been washed from

ously damaged. Near the river west of the
city large number of small bridges and
culverts along the wagon roads have been
washed out, and workmen were engaged
all day Sunday strengthening the river
bridge, which it is feared has been seri-
ously undermined. The water reached its
highest point O'Clock Monday morning,
since which time it has been slowly re-
ceding, anceit is now hoped the worst is
past.
LATER.
Additional advices about the disaster in
Kansas from wind and rain storms are
that Uniontown, about fifteen miles west
OF Fort Scott, on the Wichita & Western
railway, was swept away and that two
women and four children were drowned.
Uniontown, which is a place of 800 inhabi-
tants.is in the midst of thickly settled
country and it is feared the loss of life is
even heavier than reported. AS the wires
are down for fifteen miles on either side,
nothing definite can be learned. The
storm struck the western part OF Bourbon
county late at night, coming from the west
where it had played great havoc. At
Augusta it assumed the form of cloud
burst, and though everything possible had
been done to obtain details by railroad, all
is uncertain.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, DaK., June 49,
During the council yesterday the commits
sioners received letter from a man
named Godfrey, who is considered the
special adviser of Red Cloud, asking
that further council at this agency be sus-
pended until the arrival OF Ex-Indian In
spector Pollock. A report is in circulation
that it has been suggested to the Indians
that the money to be received in payment
for horses under the provision of the pres
ent bill should be turned over to Pollock
inlpayment for service rendered or to be
rendered these Indians. This morning Gen.
Crook will have a conference with Red
Cloud, Young -Man-Afraid, No Flesh, and
other prominent chiefs as we'll as mixed
bloods and squaw men. The Indians have
been signing since s o'clock Progress is
slow, but considering the difficulty, any
progress is encouraging.
TALKING AGAINST THE TREATY.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Oak, June 18.-It
was O'Clock before the Indians assem-
bled at the council, but this afternoon Gov
ernor Foster opened by inviting any Indi-
ans desiring information to speak. After
counciling among themselves for some
time, Observation-Disclosures His Horse, over
80 years old, made the first speech. He
was followed by Red Cloud, Young Man
Afraid Of His-H0rse and others. The gen
eral opinion of the speakers was against
the treaty.
WANT THE COMMISSIONERS TO LEAVE.
General Crook explained the bill, and
urged the signers to act at once. The
council then broke up. Many Indians
went at once to the agents Office to sign.
By 10 p. m. over 100 had signed. The
commissioners have apparently struck a
snag. Last night at the council which Red
Cloud had with his band and other chiefs
in his interest, it is said they decided under
no circumstances to sign the bill. At the
conference with General Crook to-day he
announced his decision and added he
wanted the Indians that signed the bill
put off the reserve. He was impertinent
and said he wanted the commissioners to
pick up and leave tomorrow. General
Crook stopped him and recited to the In
dians instances Of his Cred Cloud's) dupli-
city. The outlook for success here is far
from promising. About 250 have signed,
and about 400 have ssid they were opposed.
Several Of this number have already
changed their minds, and doubtless others
will follow. The rush Of opposition for
an hour this afternoon was veritable
stampede.
