UPRISING OF THE REDSKINS.
,,roR DUBOIS BLAMES THE IN
MAYS FOR THE TROUBLE.

.,.r.-The senator Looks Upon the
u.,nocks as "a Had Lot.

.rb.re is" continued the senator, "a
anil deal Of sentiment wasted on any
...s-f5n that comes up regarding the
r-tsns. Many people in the east seem 10
,.f4te that in all difficulties between the
.s-4 settlers OF the west and the In
.,rs the latter is the abused party. be-
,gss they know that In the end the
vs,e man must prevail"
senator Dubois went on to say that the
r-e.ent trouble had its beginning some
Years ago whom stringent laws were
rsssed by the state for the protection
i of game. The laws were enforced against
The settlers but were not needed by the
Indians who, under a system Of passes
issued by the government, killed game
annually by the thousand. He character
z-5 the Bannocks as blanket" Indians
sai among the LATEST and most worth
less redskins to be found on a govern
msnt reservation. They have, he said,
wholesome dread of the settlers They
know that no matter how many depreda-
lions they have committed, they can sur
render TO the soldiers and save their lives.
But q tight with the settlers means death.
senator Dubois explained that the coun-
,ry where the Bannocks live is full of big
game. such as elk, moose, and deer. These
are of inestimable value TO the country,
at large, as we'll as to the settlers of
that region, but the Bannocks are rap
dIy discriminating them.
Senator Dubois lays the entire blame for
The present condition of affairs upon In
dian Agent Teter.
The senator said he did not believe
there was any war between the Indians
and the whites, or that there would Ue.
III his opinion the braves would return
70 their reserva tons when the troops ar
rived and a little later to off slaughter
ing game again. 1T cannot" he con-
unued, be otherwise as long as mex
lrllcuctQ Ineus Sucll dS 4ftcls are Up
pointed as Indian agents The eXtermina-
ton of the whole lazy, shiftless, non-sup-
porting tribe of Bannocks would not be
any great loss
Commissioner Browning, referring -
the dispatch from Market Lake, that the
Jackson Hole settlers would be arrested
ana tried for killing several Indians, &C
cused of violating the Wyoming game
laws, said to-day that no steps had been
hot -
had not been considered BY the bureau.
He added that the Indian Office would
welcome a legal test of the right Of the
Indian to kin game in defiance Of state
laws I'VE should like to stop their hunt
ing" he said, but have no power to DO
so. The treaty is plain and is binding on
Us. If the courts decided that the state
law is superior to the treaty Of the United
States government with the Indians the
matter viii be settled and we shall be very
glad Of it,
Philadelphia. July 29.-Lewis Frederick
Pease, who passed within sight of Jack
sons Hole a few days ago with the
geological expedition, OF which
be was a member arrived home to-day.
The party left Dubois. Wyoming, two
weeks ago for Yellow Lake and spent
nine days on the Journey They crossed
a recently Travelled Indian trail on the
Say, which had evidently been made by
the band of Lemhis who had gone to
join the Bannocks
Further on, they fell in with a party of
shoshones and camped one night with
them. These Indians did not make any
threats against the settlers in Jackson's
Hole or the surrounding country, but
they appeared to be in a bad humor.
George Washable, a son OF the chief of
the Shoshones, was in the band.
The Indians did not modest the Prince
ton men, and when morning came the
palefaces and the red men parted peace
ably. Subsequently. the geological eXpe-
Hole, and on the ninth day of their jour
Iey arrived at Yellow Lake,
Last Wednesday Mr.. Pease, John W.
Garrett of Baltimore and f. r. Otheran
left the expedition, which is now in yell
lowstone park, and started home. Judg-
ing from what they heard them say, the
Indians have more reason to be afraid of
the settlers than the latter have to fear
The redskins. 1t seemed TO be the general
opinion that the white people were very
anxious to fight the Indians.
The party was well armed and prepared
for fight. but they did not know of any
danger until their arrival at Cooke City,
where they received kilograms from the
east informing them Of the Bannock
trouble
Regarding the Mary Mere ranch, TO
which troops have been sent for protec-
ton against the Indians, according to a
dispatch to-day from Market Lake Idaho,
Mr.. Pease said: The Mary Mere ranch
is situated in a wild and mountainous
region, fifty miles south OF the troops that
are at present stationed in Yellowstone
park, and is many miles from any other
habitation."
Market Lake, Idaho, July 29.-By cou-
Tier from Sargeants Lodge: The fire
thought TO be signal fires are in reality
only forest fires which the rains have now
eXtinguished The settlers are very great
" excited and many have deserted their
homes, fearing an outbreak.
The first man actually known to have
come through Jackson's Hole is J. S. Bar
fy. He said that the Indians are not Wis
iole and that nobody has been harmed
since the first shooting on the day Of the
indian break for liberty. The settlers are,
however, still entrenched, and the Indians
IN the hills and capnons are behaving in
such a way as to imply that they are
ready to respond to every act. Barry saw
no Indians on his way through the most
dangerous part of the journey. He said
the man who wanted an Indian fight could
get it.
To-day several Jackson Hole exiles came
INTO camp from Cunninghams camp, 20
niles north of Marysyale, and in the heart
