"More ominous Than Ever"

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. "a special
to the Tribune from its staff correspondent
at Walker says: The situation tonight is
more ominous than ever. At the agency to-
day council was held between the In
dians, General Bacon, Colonel Herbach In
dian Agent Sutherland and Marshal O'Con-
nor. The result of the conference was not
in any way unlike that of those previously
held, except in the fact that not one of the
leading men of the different bands was
present. There were, however, representa-
tives present from Bear island, Cass lake
Otter Tail Point and Pine Point, but none
of these has any influence with the tribes
men. The only conclusion to be drawn is
that the leaders of the different bands sent
men there merely as stool pigeons and that
others of their number are now preparing
for the war path.
A most significant fact is this: Saturday
thirty canoe loads of Bear island Indians
and their families, protesting to be peaceful.
arrived at the agency. To-day every one
of the bucks in the party left, but where
they have gone is only to be surinised. Thera
is little doubt, however. that they have left
for Bear island to join those who are al
ready prepared to fight There must be by
this time several hundred armed men on the
island, and from what can be learned to-
day many more are on the road. Two or
three Of the Bear island men who are still
on the agency have been questioned in re-
gard to last Wednesdays battle, but they
positively stated that they knew nothing
whatever In regard to the dead and wounded
among the Indians and had seen none OF
those who were in the fight

WALKER, Minn Oct 9-When fha
United States troops reached the Leech

of the Indians have done picket duty. Now
that the troops are on the grounds thesa
formal preparations for defense will prob
ably be abandoned, but there will be Indian

prompt warning of anything that even
looks dangerous. 1T is said by those who
know them that these agency Indians would
not hesitate to kill a hostile as quickly as
would a soldier Last night Mah-Ge-Gah-
Bow, one of the head men of the Bear ISL.
and Indians, arrived on the agency point
with twenty-seven canoeloads of the Bear
islanders comprising those of them who are
for peace. There were seventy-fve or a
hundred in the party, men, women and
children. They went into camp about Ave
miles from the agency and Mah-Ge-Gah-
Bow called on General Bacon at once. He
said that he had told the hostiles on the
island that he could not go with them, that
he and his friends were for peace with the
white men, and that they were going to
the agency.
"All right" said the hostiles laconicaily,
''teIl them what we are doing'' and they
allowed Mah-Ge-Gah-Bow to depart in
peace.
"Kah-win-rin-ge-k -kah- -da-zin,'' said the old
man, when he was pressed with inquiries
as to the number Of the hostiles, their pres
ent whereabouts and their intentions for
the future. This being interpreted means
'T don't know anything more about it.
He did say that so far as he knew none
of the hosties was killed in the fight. but
they all say that AS to how many Indians
were actually on the war PATH the agency
Indians are disposed to hold the number
down to something under one hundred, and
many of them say that there are not more
than twenty-five or thirty

EXTRA ALLOWANCES.

1t is high time that halt was called on the
extravagant and txorbitant allowances to all
sorts Of commissions doing work for the city.
The sums that have been drawn from the tax
payers in the last ten years by lawyers and
politicians for sitting few hours members
Of boards to open streets have been rs near a
gigantic scandal as proceeding could be which
was carefully planned to keep within the letter
of the law. In the Tweed days wasteful grants
of fees TO commissioners We're an approved
method Of enriching favorites. After Tweed's
fall period of economy followed. and rigid
policy of allowing no claims against the city
which could legally be disputed cut off to a
great extent the extra allowance leakage in con-
nectiOn with commission work But the pendu-
lum swung the other way long ago. and it has
been the custom for years for the city to allow
and for reputable lawyers TO take sums from
the public treasury utterly out Of proportion TO
the work done. and vastly more than any pri-
vate person would pay for like expenditure Of
time and brain power and like assumption Of
responsibility.
The action Of the Appellate Division Of the
Supreme Court in reversing an allowance by
Justice Werner Of extra compensation to the
amount Of S225OO to the commissioners who
assessed the value of property taken for the
opening of Edgecombe Road ought to set a
wholesome precedent The regular compensa-
