Quiet.

Extra Men Discharged and Everything
Quiet.
OMAHA, Aug. 6.-Things have been
quiet in the city during the day. The
fire and police board decided it was not
necessary to maintain an army of
policemen at the police station to de-
fend them from an attack Of a mob.
Accordingly the 70 special policemen
that had been on duty for the preced-
ing 80 hours were ordered to remove
their stars and go home prepared to
answer a call at any time. Thus far
none of the police force who have
signed the pledge to support the new
board have taken the preliminary step
of resigning from the present force.
Friday it was stated that they were
going to secede and place themselves
openly under the direction of the new
board, but more recent developments
seem to have induced them to post
pone their contemplated action.

a confidence man, who has hit upon
this expedient as clever way of max

A QUESTION OF TIME
Many Indian Territory Indians
Recognize That They Must
Make Move
TOWARDS AN AGREEMENT
Enacting Such Legislation AS
it Sees Fit-Election Now
In Progress.

WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-General Arm
strong, one of the Dawes commission,
is spending few days in Washington.
that the commission will be able to
make deal looking to future legis-
lation for the settling of the exist
ing anomalous condition in the
Indian country. just at present
the elections in the various tribes are
in progress. and the commission decid.
ed that it was we'll for it's members to
be absent in order to prevent the charge
being made that they were there to in
fuence the voters and secure legisla-
lures in the different nations that
were favorably inclined to the wishes
of the commission, There are plenty
of men in the Indian country who are
opposed to the commission and are
doing verything possible to prevent
an agreement being reached. 1t is ex-
pected that the Legislatures of the diff
ferent nations will take some action
this fall looking to an adjustment
through the commission. They will ask
the legislatures to appoint commission
ers to negotiate and submit propositions
for form of territorial government
and disposition of the lands.
Only a Question Of Time.
MANY Of the Indians are opposed to
taking allotments and divisions of
lands, though the more progressive are
aware that they must do SO sooner or
later. Some of the Indians are also OF
the opinion that unless they submit
some satisfactory proposition to the
Dawes commission, or show some in
clination to organize better form of
government, congress will ignore them
and proceed to legislate with the
knowledge it already has on the sub.
ject and without further consultation
with the various nations. The Choc-
taws and Chickasaws have already
evinced disposition to meet the COM
mission. and in the Cherokee nation
petitions are already being circulated
asking the legislature to appoint a
commission to meet the Dawes COM
mission, with view to reaching an
agreement, and submitting to congress
some proposition for legislation Of the
territory.
General Armstrong says the commits
sion will, of necessity, be compelled to
move slowly, as the Indians will not be
hurried into doing anything, and are
largely disposed to be perfectly satisfied
with their present condition.
