The men by mutual consent agreed to fur

to run, but are determined that not single
passenger nor one pound Of freight should
be carried after O'Clock last night. From
until $50 no trains were run.
This morning at O'Clock great number
of train hands who did not belong to the
knights Of Labor reported at the yards for
work. They were instructed to set about
clearing the tracks, and were compelled to

disn Commissioner Morgan in which il was
stated that the delay intAe passage Of this
hill had seriously inteRfered With the
awardinR.of contracts for Indian supplies
In South Dakota, the Indian Territory and
Montana. Since May q The commissioners
has had in his possession certified checks
aaeregatinR more than $A000. 900 from firms
which made bids, the acceptance Of which
would not be legal until after the passage
of this bill. There were certain varieties
Of goods called for by ths treaties with In
dians in Montana, Idaho, Warrington
and South nako4a which must
be manufactured and Inspected after
the passage Of the bill, and this could mot
be done in time to avoid great deal OF suf-
fering. The loss ON ono contract for beef
in South Dakota, because Of inability 10 ao-
cept contract for July delivery would be
$1eO. 600 which must cut down the supply
which the Indians would reoeivd by that
amount. In Montana thsrs was q similar
condition. While the bill was under CON-
sideration Mr.. Sayres, Of Texas, attackek
the clause appropriating &25000 for the
school In the Blackfoot reservation in Mon
tana and Mr.. Perkins opposed the amend
ment providing for the commission to me-
gotiate with. the Puyallup and Colvills
Indians in Washington.
Mr.. Power made an intellectual attempt
to secure the passage of the house bill au-
thorizing the sale of q part Of the Grow
Indian reservation in Montana. He Sc
cured the adoption Of the amendment
which allowed citizens Of that state to serve
on the commission, but Senator Gorman
objected to the appropriation Of 5000
without more careful confederation, and 30
the bill was laid over.
Col. Sanders and Mr.. Power to-day called
upon Superintendent Porter and presented
evidence Of the defective census Of Helena,
and expect in q day or two that some one
will go out from the Office and investigate
the matter. It has been shown in the cen-

Wheat in the Dakotas.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 9.-On account Of hot
weather and lack Of rain during the last
few weeks former estimates of 100000, 600
as the wheat crops in the Dakotas will
probably be little out of the way. In South
Dakota and Southern Minnesota harvest is
nearly over. The general yield will be fair.
The railroads have weekly crop reports on
which they base their estimates Of the
wheat weld, SO as to know how much they
are going to be. If they are not mistaken
the yield will reach above SC, 600, 900 bushels.

Paul was taken, stole horse from another
Indian and made Of with 1t to Lala-See,
giving him information Of tho possess com

and lively time was had for while, an
old chief showing some tight, Meslah and
Guiamo were taken at this camp. The
posse ia now under the command Of w. r.
Ramsdell. one Of the most fearless
of men. They are hot on Lala-See's trail,
and expect to get him at almost any time
now. He is we'll armed with Winchester
rifle and two revolvers and will die game.
Houston expects to have the renegade,
Antly, in Ravalli before morning. This is
the Indian who, three years ago, with two
others, burned up three prospectors near
Demersville. The other two were at the
time lynched by the settlers, Antly getting
away. He has been at large ever since.
Houston will probably not start out again
as he firmly believes Lala-See will be
brought down before he can again reach
the posse. There are altogether nine of the
renegades in the jail here now.
The mysterious disappearance of w. H.
Edwards. of Grantsdale, has created alarm.
He left homo Wednesday afternoon on
horseback to transact some business near
the new town Of Hamilton. His horse was
brought home yesterday riderless, having
been found near the wagon bridge crossing
the Bitter Root. Tho impression prevails
that he has committed suicide in the Bitter
Root river or left for parts unknown. Be-
ing heavily in debt appears to be the
cause.
