The Indians Defended.

MINNEAPoLIs, Feb. 4-The Evening
Journal tonight published an interview
on the recent Indian trouble, in which,
alter a defense of the Indians in the recent
sc.;mmage by a prominent Dakota man.
whose name is withheld, Gus Beaulieu,
a resident Of St Paul and widely known
among the Indians Of the Northwest, says:
The whole truth of this sad business
will come out some day. l think it was
two months preceding the Custer massa-
ere that Miles and his soldiers rushed in
upon an Indian village in Montana and
shot down every man, woman and child
In it without mercy. There were between
200 and 300 Indians killed. The village
being far from the telegraph,
information of the horrible affair was
not known until after the Custer
massacre, and then, of course. the public
mind was so occupied With the Custer
massacre that no attention was paid to the
previous massacre OF the indians" After
speaking of the breaking of treaties,
Beaulieu said: The Indians throughout
the entire Northwest are collecting facts
regarding Miles outrage in Montana, and
the failure OF the government everywhere
to keep the treaties. Certain chiefs will
be designated to 10 to Washington to
present their wrongs and grievances and
more especially to expose the whole truth
in regard TO the outrage committed before
the Custer massacre.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4-Capt Rigging of
Gen. Miles staff. after carefully reading
the Minneapolis dispatch, said: That
massacre story Is absolutely untrue.
Nothing in which Gen. Miles was en-
gagged ever occurred that could remotely
suggest 1t. In all the numerous occasions
where Gen Miles has captured Indians,
it has been really astonishing how lew
were killed or wounded. The only affair
that | remember where considerable In
dian women and children (Piegaus) we're
killed by troops was several years before
the Custer massacre, and Gen. Miles had
nothing whatever to do with it."

stolen them, and offered TO exchange
them for a size which would fit him.
The merchant recognized the shoes,
a policeman was summoned, and the
negro was soon in the lockup.-Atlanta

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A bill was ia
vorably reported to-day by Senator Gull
lom to amend the interstate commerce act
by providing that competing common car
riers may, with the approval OF the inter
state commission, enter into
contracts or agreement with respect to
traffic when. in the opinion OF the COM
mission, the general public interest and
the general welfare will be thereby sub
served. These contracts and agreements,
when subscribed to by such carriers, and
when flied with and approved by the COM
mission, shall be binding between the
parties thereto, subject, however, to the
authority conferred upon the commission

when the commission Is of the opinion
that the public interest requires it. This
provision will not permit the diversion of
traffic routed or consigned by a shipper

section 3, against undue or unreasonable
preference" is extended considerably.
An amendment made to section 10 de-

caves dug into high banks along the
