Civic Omcials OF Montreal Censured by the
Citizens.
MONTREAL, July ga great deal Of national
feeling has been raised here by the neglect Of
civic officials to officially recognize the arrival
in Montreal Of H. NJ. 8. Pylades. The war
ship called for Chariottetown, P. E. l., after
fifteen days visit and during that time no re-
ception was rendered, nor were there any Of
the usual courtesies extended to the officers,
Who were thrown entirely on the hospitality Of
citizens during their stay. This il the first
thing The matter o ~ss called lHS 10 the
attention Of Hon. James McShane, mayor of
the city, but he broke his promise to tender
the ofnccrs Of the Pyiades . reception.
The last warship in Montreal was the French
frigate Brisson, and the city then could not do
too much for the French officers. While no
public remark was made by the officers Of the
Pyladea, they felt the slight keenly, the more
80 a. II was the flrst time such an insult had
been offered to British naval officers.

The Fight for the Nomination Between

JEFFERSON CRY, No., July 20.-At 2:15
O'Clock this morning the democratic convention
was still in a deadlock, with no prospect Of a
nomination for governor. 1t looks very much
as though Dalton will be defeated and the race
lie between Stone and Gibson. Twelve ballots
have been taken and the only change is in the
Dalton vote, which il diminishing.
The convention adjourned at 315 O'Clock this
morning after the thirteenth ballot hGd been
taken for governor. The ballot resulted: Stone

Great Interest In the South Dakota Re.
publican Convention.
MADISON. 8. D., July 20.-Nearly 1900 dele
gates and visitors have arrived to attend the
republican state convention. There is almost
an entire absence Of factional leadership. and
while there are from four to dozen candidates
for each Office they all appear to have an equal
chance. Picker for Congress is the only e1-
ception.
As the situation is changing itself now the
feeling appears to be that the Black Hills shall
have one Congressman and the east side Of the
Missouri river the other Congressman and the
governor. With this in view combinations are
being attempted among the Minnehaha, Law
renee and other counties to support Jolly for
governor and Washabaugh Of the Black Hills
and Picker for Congress.
On the other hand an equally strong move
ment is working in favor of Fowler of Penning-
ton for Congress and Winslow Of sanborn
county for governor.

PUYALLUP INDIAN RESERVATION
Real Estate Spectators Said to
Want the Land.
A CLAIM AGENTS LETTER
Mr.. Oates Makes Some Remarks
in the House.


The Senate was presided over today by Vice
President Morton.
Senate bin giving consent Of Congress to the
removal, by the legislature of the state of
Washington, Of the restrictions upon the power
of alienation Of q portion Of the lands of the
Puyallup Indian reservation was taken up and
substitute for 1t was offered and explained by
Mr.. Allen.
His argument against the original bill was to
the effect that under 1t those Indians could not
sell an acre Of their land. His substitute, on
the contrary, proceeded on the line of the
treaty of 1854, which provided that after their
lands were patented to them those lnntis should
remain inalienable until such time az the state
legislature should pass a law 60 be assented to
by Congress) removing the restriction. The
bill as reported was, he said. absolutely objec-
tionabie to the Indians and to the whites,
while his own substitute dealt fairly with the
Indians and justly with the whites The sub
stitute proposed that Congress should give its
consent to the alienation Of a portion Of these
Puyallup lands in the neighborhood of Tacoma
and it would still leave 5000 acres entirely I'M
affected.
Mr.. Platt argued against the substitute. Real
estate SPECTATORS in Tacoma had got contracts
out Of the Indians and wanted to enforce them
after tho restrictions or alienation were re-
moved. These spectators had an active and
ubiquitous lobby about Congress and the In
dian committee had had to meet that lobby at
every step.
Mr.. Villas also opposed the substitute, and
said that the Indian committee was unani-
mously opposed TO 1t. The bill as reported by
the committee would meet. he said, all the de-
mands Of the case. Some of these In
dian lands, Mr.. Villas said, were
worth $4,000 an acre. The water front alone
had been estimated as worth some millions.
where the carcass is. )" he quoted, 'there will
the eagles be gathered together" The eagle
In this case meant the spectators who had got
contracts from the Indians.
THE ANTI-oPrIoN BILL Up.
At O'Clock the bill was laid aside without
action and the anti-option bill was laid before
the Senate.

be in use These klrln mines are the

Just across the border, on the Russian
side of the line, mining has for years been
carried on with great activity in a system

profitable results The Chinese Goven-
ment has, however hitherto forbidden
any Systematic opening upot the mineral
regions Of its side of the line
In facS there has been no very great
eagerness on the part of mining prospect

Government had merely given the military

divided among the troops and partly put
into the pocket Of the governor OF the
province.
After this tragic incident the governor
took possession Of the mines which had
been opened, and apparently for a time
intened 10 work them systematically An
experienced American mining engineer
was employed to superlnend them, and
at q very heavy cost some elaborate and
expensive machinery was obtained. Then
The whole enterprise was abandped. Just
