Laughlin, shall be ratified at this session.
There are four or five Of these treaties,
involving somewhere near four millions
of dollars to be paid to the Indians by the
government. ..-., -. -; =
Treaties made with the Devils Lake In
dams in North Dakota and the Rosebud
Indians in South Dakota have given the
delegates from those two states a great
deal OF anxiety. The Devils Lake treaty
was the first of the two to be negotiated
and Senator Hansbrough put 1t through
the senate last December. 1t has been
slumbering In the house since notwith-
standing the efforts made by Congressman
Marshall to get 1t up for consideration.
Now that Chairman Cannnn has openly
declared that none of these treaties shall
pass the senate, members OF the house
who are interested in them have conclud-

Hostility of the public toward the police

which Victor Welch, attorney for Chief
of Police Fred Ames, will ask for a post

Simpson consented, to, a postponement OF
the case until 10 a: m. tomorrow, when
Mr.. Welch will make motion that the case
be continued until the present excitement
said to be so prejudicial to his client S
interests, has chance to calm down.
When the case against Chief Ames was
called at Q p. M, Mr.. welch at once asked
that the case be continued until .to-mor-
row. In support Of his request, he said:

Washington June 30. = Senator Hans
brough has been advised of some rather
peculiar moves that are being made by
Major Murphy, chairman of the repub-
lican county committee OF Ward county.
Some time ago on the majors recommen-
dation number OF postoffices were filled
in Ward county. 1t is now reported that
Murphy is compelling the postmasters to
take an active part In politics by assur

positions through Congressman Marshall
Murphy Is a sorehead, having been can

that Congressman Marshall, who is q
friend of Senator Hansbrough's and de-
sfres his reelection, has wired Murphy
and the postmasters In the county that
no pne has authority from him to say
that he is opposed to Senator Hansbrough.
Murphy has been a persistent of1ceseeker
for many years and he has kept Ward

Very soon the grand Jury will have
big ore pile for the district court crusher
to work upon. The grand jury met this
morning with more definite leads in sight
than at any time since it was drawn The
vein located by Inspector Christ opher G.
Norbeck and Irwin A. Gardner is the
finest ever struck, being large and clearly
defined, as well as easily worked. The big
task of the jury is still to come. The jury
has heard some criticism here and there
to the effect that the Indictment against
Mayor Ames is thin in that it simply al
leges an attempt to bribe two county
commissioners. And there have been
those who laughed somewhat contemptu-
ously as they made the remark that if the
inquisitors could find nothing more seri-
GUS against Superintendent Ames than the
tale of thief that the Superintendent
had accepted a paltry $25 as a bribe, it
had better quit. It is regarded as certain
however, that more indictments are be-
ing considered in connection with se4he
high officials and that the charges will be
strong and specific. : f" '
Gardner remains loyal to Mayor Ames,
who befriended him, but is quite indiffer-
ent as to the others. What Gardner does
not want to give, Detective Norbeck can
easily supply, and both men can furnish
great deal Of corroborative testimony
which Billy Edwards naturally was un-
able to secure.

be necessary to wait until the af1davits

objection, the case was postponed until

Cases of Mayor and Fitchette.
Mayor Ames and Captain John FitchetHe
are still in doubt as to when their cafess
will come to trial. Both were passed by
County Attorney Boardman when called
this morning.
Captain Fitchette, who occupied a
prominent seat inside the rail, looked
visibly relieved when he learned that
there would be nothing doing" for few
days. This assurance may be due in part
to the fact that the captain has not yet
secured an attorney to try his case. He
still pleads financial inability to pay at
torney's fees even on matter of such
vital interest to himself. It is expected,
however that Welch and Hubachek will
defend him.
Captain Fitchette made haste the mo-
nent his case was passed to look up May

thorizing strike of all the machinists on
the Union Pacific system went into effect
at 10 a. NJ. There were few men left to
walk out in Omaha and Council Bluffs,
however, the machine shops having been
closed down Friday night. It is under
stood that the order issued by the execu-
tive committee of the International ma
chinists' union merely authorized the
strike and that a vote will be taken by
local unions before the actual walkcut
takes place. In Omaha this preliminary
step had beon taken.
S There will be about 1,700 men affected
by the strike This includes machinists
and Do1ler-makers who have already
struck, and those who were locked out.

Effort Made to Agree on an Indorse-

An effort, which is likely to be success
full, is to-day being made to reach an un-
derstanding as to platform for the con-

cation and those republicans at home who
believe in standing by the president on
reciprocity with Cuba. Representative
Stevens, who is representing the delega-
tion in this matter, arrived yesterday.
Senator Nelson arrived this morning. The
work of mapping out a tentative platform
