about the certainty if the free coinage

flooded with "cheap money! in the

speakers of the same political faith.

mediately started for Beverly Farms
where he was the guest of his brother
in-law, j. III. Rhodes. Tomorrow he
comes to Boston and will visit the Re
publican state headquarters.
To a reporter Mr.. Hanna talked upon
the campaign and inquired about the
work in Massachusetts,, and was very
much interested in the facts given to
him. He said:
sAs a matter of fact this campaign
has started itself The real work does
not begin until the 1st of September
President Harrison's speech in Madison
Square Garden will be a notable one,
and the speech Of Hon. Thomas B.
Reed, with which he opened the cam
paign in his own district, was a mag

Concerning the outlook in New York,
Mr.. Hanna said that he was well sat
isfied with the factiona1 disputes there,
for he recognized the fact that in all
great cities and in all great parties
factions are a matter of course.
Mr.. Hanna thinks that the vote of
Vermont will be a better register of
public opinion at this time than that
of Maine. He does not look for more
than the usual Republican majority in
the latter state, but from Vermont he
has received information that leads
him to the belief that there will be a
gain of at least 10000. Mr.. Hanna re-
turns TO New York tomorrow evening.

Fred Treon, United States Indian agent

many of the fields OF wheat on the res
ervation, belonging to Indians, are
yielding as high as twenty bushels to
the acre, and that up to a few days

Three threshing machines are kept

grain for the Indians. Agent Treon is
also purchasing cattle from the Indians
for ration purposes, and stated that
the stock he is receiving is the finest
he has ever seen, some two-year-olds
weighing as high as 1900 pounds The
grass has been very fine this season
on the reservation, and stock belonging
to the Indians who are just engaging
in self-supporting pursuits has done re-
markably we'll The wheat purchased
from the Indians is taken to the roller
mill at Crow Creek agency and ground
into flour, which is then issued to the
Indians with other articles turned over
to them on the regular ration days.
Thus the government substantially en-
courages the Indians in farming and
stock raising pursuits.

Indian reservation, where he has a
surveying contract that will keep him
self and men busy until late in the
fall Many of the Indians on that res
ervation have expressed a desire to re-
cefve allotments of land in severalty,
and large tracts of the reservation are
being surveyed with this object in view,
it being the policy Of the Indian bureau
to allot lands to Indians as speedily
as possible The Indians on the Pine
Ridge reservation are an exception to
those on other portions Of the Sioux
reservation, as none of them have yet
indicated a willingness to receive their
allotments. This is principally for the
reason that Red Cloud, their aged and
respected chief, is opposed to the al
lotment system, and in Difference to his
wishes but few allotments will be made
to the Indians there during his life
time.
