DIPLOMATIC DEPEW.

He Talks In Glittering Generalities About
the Strike on the Central.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-Chaunoey Depew is q
very strict, shrewd man. There is a big
strike going ON on the New York Central
railroad, of which he is president. All the
employees, especially Knights of Labor,
have said that the strike would not have
occurred had Mr.. Depew been here. instead
of being abroad. The workingmen gener-
ally seem to have confidence in what De-
pew says. 1t is we'll known that Depew' is
candidate for the presidency Of the United
States, and if be antaRonized the labor
classes he, of course, could not count ON
that vote if he should get nominated. All
the New York newspapers have instructed
their fereign correspondents to interview
Mr.. Depew and cable what the great after
dinner speaker has to say about the rail-
road strike. 1t was left for the News cor
respondent at marlborough, who finally
succeeded to-day in getting Depew to
say something. but Chauncey deftly
evaded the main question. whether he was
with the knights or against them in this
fight:
1.-THE question of the management of any
company in ITS appointments and opera:
Mr.. Depew. "The policy of the successful
administration of it cannot be surrendered
to any Irresponsible committee or to arbi-
tration without such sacrifice Of executive
power as would bring its authority into
contest G1ia make it's administration fail
11s nre. Alleged 1era. grievances Of the Cen
ing to labor or wages, whether
presented by petition or committee of
employees, always receive immediate at
tention. 1t has always been our policy to
never deal with committee not composed
of the employees of our road.'
More than this Depew positively refused
to say for publication. He said single ex-
preston of opinion by him 1t this critical
p0int.might not only interrupt negotiation
at the Central Office for settlement, but
might possibly bring about complications
which would result in great railway strike
throughout America. Generally, Depew is

The delegate from the Syracuse lodge re
turned from Utica tonight and talked
quite freely of what had been done at the
meeting. 1t was one of harmony and all
agreed upon matters of Importance, The
meeting, he said, had been called to dis
cuss the advisability of striking. Numerous
speeches were made both in favor of strikinp
and against it. When the matter was finaliV
put to vote it was decided to stand by the
constitution of the order and not strike un-
less the strike was ordered by higher au-
thority. They themselves had no grievance
but what could be amicably settled with
the company without the expense Of a
strike.

night some one, no doubt interested in this
affair, went into the Jail yard where the
first two hides that we're brought from the
slaughter house by Deputy Sheriff Houston
had been laid out and cut out the brand on
one of them. The other hide on which the
brand, an ace of clubs, is not plainly dis
cernible, was left untouched, the parties in
all probability not seeing the brand on this
hide in the dark. All the circumstances
connected with the affair are strongly
against Mr.. Bennett and his butchers,

,00O-several OF Thorn Turned
Loose.

mW0OULA, aug. To- l6peC1a1sl-0
Houston has returned from the Flathead
country. It is now two weeks ago that he
began his expedition against the Indian
outlaws, one Of the bravest and most de-
termined that has ever been instituted in
Montana. Nine Of the desperate Indians have
been hunted down and brought to confne-
ment. The cost Of the work has been about
5000. All of the dangerous Indians have
been captured. with the exception Of Lala-
See and the sheriff does not want to put the
county to any more expense in hunting him
down, and he, therefore, disbanded the
posse and they have returned to their
homes. Sheriff Houston nevertheless is
going to get Lala-See and to this end he this
morning deputized Antoine Finley, Louis
Finley and two Indians that were arrested
with Pierre Paul, Che having released them
from custody to take up the task Of bring
ing the desperate to Justice. They started
out tonight. the necessary paper for their
authority having been made out and placed
in the hands of Antoine this morning, to-
gether with letter to Major Roman request
ing him to lend his aid by furnishing
them with the Indian police for assistance
and to otherwise aid Antoine in his expedi-
tion. Sheriff Houston has promised An
toine $500 reward out of his own pocket.
Antoine is an Indian who can be trusted
and the sheriff has every confidence in him.
Lala-See is still ON the reservation but is
hiding in the mountains. The posse has
secured the country in most diiigent
manner. but without avail. He is the
most desperate character Of the lot and is
charged with the murder of two white mon
on the Jocko, and numerous other murders
are also attributed to his murderous career.
Chief Eneas. who at first offered resistance
In giving up the outlaws captured, is now
fully satisfied that it is to the interest of
the Indians ON the reservation that Lala-
See be brought in. He informed Sheriff
Houston that he would do what was right
if the white men would do what was right
by the Indian. As previously reported he
has started twenty of his men ont to look
for Lala-See hut he told Sheriff Houston
that his people had no money TO travel and
this would retard some in their
work, but that, however, they
would get Lala-See, il not
at present, most certainly when the snow
flies, even if they have to 90 outside of the
reservation and over the British line to cap
ture him. stI
Antoine, who feels confident that he can
find Lala-See. says that he knows the local
ity in which he is hidden and will bring
him in either alive or dead. Indians on the
reservation have reported to the whites that
Lala-See is seriously i'll and being cared for
by those of his tribe at a camp in the noun
tain recesses. Some state that he has given
up every hope of escaping, and contem-
plates giving himself up to the authorities,
while others contend that he will kill him

Porter has directed that such action be
taken on the investigation made by him a.
the census Office, of the Helena returns, and
a comparison Of the list of names submit
ted by the Helena citizens COMMITTEES. Ths
committee's list showed 1000 more names
than were shown in the census schedules.
The schedules contain 1900 names that are
not given in the 1900 given by the citizens,
making a difference of 5000 names. II waa
the intention Of the census Office to examine
the names submitted and the excess Of those
returned in the schedules, but the experts
are now convinced that the census of Hell
ena has been very badly botched and the
only way out of it is to recount the whole
city. The experts made this recommends
tion and Supt. Porter will send ON q
special agent to take the census.
All the amendments to the river and harbor
bill affecting the northwest, which have
from time to time been given in these dis

ticularly South Dakota and Washington.
A change was made in the extent to which
work is to be carried ON on the Missouri
in Montana by substituting Fort Benton
for Great Falls, which was made the upper
end of operations according to the first
draft Of the amendment. Since the bill
passed the house a good deal of argument
has been made to individual members on
the needs Of these northwestern improve
ments, and the members interested believe
that some important works which were re-
fused by the house committee will be al
lowed to stand when the bill comes back
from the senate.
Representative Wilson. Of Washington,
was in the house this morning, having re-
turned from few days stay at Atlantic
City much improved in health. He was
