EIGHT HUNDRED SURRENDER—ONE THOUSAND MORE COMING IN—OTHERS ON THE WARPATA— TEOOPS WANTED. The following dispatch was received to-day: St. Path, MInn.—Gen. A. H. Terry, Witshing- ‘on: The following dispatch, dated’ yesterday, Just received. I submit for any Instruccions you may desire to give. RUGGLES, Assistant Adjutant Genera’, “KgocH.—Eight hundred and thirty (830 hostile Sioux have surrendered at this t. 1 4m informed that 1,000 more are this side of the Missouri on their way to surrender. Others may follow. In my opinion these should ail be held under military surveillance at this post. for the Present. The remainder are north of the Mis- sour! sending out war parties, receiving stolen stock and annoying agency Indians; taking possession of agency and destroying gardens, Agent Proctor and Indian Inspector Pollock have asked for troops. I request authority to place the available force in this district in the vicinity of Round Buttes, near the Missouri, ‘Their presence would have a wholesome effect For that purpose I request that two Infantry companies at Glendive, with transportation, be relieved. Mixes, Col. Commanding. GENERAL TERRY, who has been tn the city some days, left tnis merning to take personal supervision of mat- ters relating to the Indians in the territory un- der bis command. A copy of the dispatch given above was mae and will be submitted to the Cabinet tis after noon. The Indians now surrendering will treated as those who have come tn heretofo They give up their arms and ponies, and will be distributed around the different agencies. THE OUTLAW, SITTING BULL, STILL ON THE Wan- VATH. The party of Indians mentioned in the dis- patch of Col. Miles as south of the Missour! Sending out war partles, are under Sitting Bull himself. These are the few of his tmmediate followers who sul remain with him. Colonel Miles has been directed to send outa column after them. They will be either captured or driven across the border back to Canada. Sit- ting Bull, whether captured or whether lie sur- renders without resistacc. will be treated as an outlaw. The question of Sitting Bull's Indians, who fled into Canada after the Black His war, is rapidly solving ftself. Hunger ts the agent that drives the Indians Into the United States to surrender. * The Cabinet Mee To-day. THE MATTER OF THE CHINESE VESSEL. At the Cabinet meeting this afternoon the matter of the Chinese vessel, which purpos! to come snto San Francisco with a cargo of fia- Wallan products and go into a dfy dock for re- pairs, Was up. There are very heavy tonnage dues and customs duties now levied agatnst Chinese and all alten bottoms. No Chinese trader hos as yet entered our ports, and there has been no réason for removing the restrictions agalnst vessels from that country. The Sec tary of the Treasury expressed the opinion that the President should by proclamatton remove the duties on the approaching Chinaman. Our treaty with China provides that American ves- sels trading with her shall be on a footing with the most favored, but makes no provision for Chinese vessels entering American ports, as it was never supposed that one would. The At- torney General, who 1s also acting as Secretary Of State, was not ready to express his opinion a3 to the issuance of the proclamation. The matter was placed in his hands for tnvestica- Uon and decision. ‘The consideration of the question was etl eae until next Tuesday. Ail nations with which we have no commercial treaties are like China, aliens, and lia tle to the same duties, THE SIOUX QUESTION. The dispatch received from General Hatch, this morning, and printed elsewhere, wag read. ‘The course to be pursued towards the Indians now surrendering was decided to be the same that has been pursued with those who came in some time age. That policy is also given in the article elsewhere, Democratic Committee Work Washington. WHERE THE DOCUMENTS GO. The democratic congresstonal committee are working with a vim that, tt ts clatmed, has not been displayed by party managers for many years. The work of the committee ts belag done culefly at the Capitol, where several rooms oo tie first floor are occupied. Numerous clerks and twenty or thirty folders are kept busy, and another large force wiil be put to work in Wil- lard’s Hail in aday or two. In order to rush ftorwaid decuments into states holding elections in September and October, emplosé3 of the ccmmittee are kept busy day and nignt. None of the real labor of the canvass 1s done at the headquarters on ¥ street. ‘There Une mauagers have rooms, and receive reports and visitors, and give general direction to the campaign. Senator Wallace, chatrman of the comm{ctee, spent two hours at the Capitol to-day, looking into the condition of affairs there, andproviilag for the folding of large lots of documents now in the printers*hands. He and Senator Whyte yesterday let out contracts for printing many thousands of documents. The committee are hot concentrating their attention upon In- giana, They have an eye upon Ohio, and are sending campaign provender into Maine, and even Vermont. A Srak reporter to-day visited the several places where the democratic work 1s veirg done, and talked with those who are directingit. Twas plain that a hoperul spirit ant- mates them, and that the reports recetved by the committee from local and state managers tn the country are encouraging. One of the secr tarles sald that from 300 to 500 letters are re- ceived daily from chairmen of state and county cominittees and local managers generally, and Ubat “without a singie exception they have all brought good hews.” He added, that “suc thing hadrever been known ina campaign be tore.” in Potiticat Notes.

Mammoth Oil Tanks Set on Fire. BRADFORD, Pa., August 20.—Duriny a heavy storm at five p.m. yesterday lightning struck two 25,000 barrel fron tanks at Dallas city, six miles northeast of Bradford. There are 50,00 barrels now burning. One tank belongs to the United and the other to the Tidewater Pipe Line. Both companies have summoned a force ‘of Inen fo the scene to dig trenches and prevent the spread of the fire. The village is not in danger nor the other iron tanks fn the vicinity. A telegram to the Daily Ere trom Dallas at mid- night gives the opinion that the fire can be por- sibly confined to the tanks now buralng. The tanks were not expected to overtlow betore s o’ciock this morning and the spread of the fil depends on the result of the overflow. If dams cai be made and trenches dug of breadth and depth sufictent to hold the inflamed oil, the tire will be checked. If they cannot, much addi- onal property must be consumed. Belng a y dark night, the spectacle was indeed ter- ribly grand. Later from the Oil Fire. BRADFORD, Pa., August 20.—Tank No. 410, of the Untied Line, and ‘Yank No. 6, of Uke Tide Water Line, at Dallas City, are stl burniog, and both have overilowed. The United Lines have thelr pumps and engine moved to a place ofsafety. No further damase |: telpated, altheugh there are now prospects cf a heavy thunder show CHINA AND RUSSIA. The Chances of War or Peace Equal, SaN FRANCISCO, August 19.—The steamer Oceanic, Irom Hong Kong via Yokohama, has arrived here, and brings the following news : Hox Ki 4 —There is no change In the Russ prospects. Opinions continue equally divided as to the chances of war or peace, ‘Zhe Celestial Cabinet Irritated by Foreign Diplomats, The Chinese ministry 1s evidently irritated by the congregation of forcign diplomatic agents charged with missions Of more or less agsressive character, and cpenly expresses Its di<Conteat at the unusually formidable aspect of tue dele- gation from the United States, which is now awaited with deep and increasing tnterest. The Tsupgii Yamen stubbornly refuses to disclose its intentions respecting the Kul Ju affair, and listens to ail representations from western min- isters, Who unanimously urge a pacific settle. nent, but gives no sign of assent. It 1s believed by the best qualified observers that ts ultimate decision depends upon events yet to come, and will be largely intluenced by reports now anx- fously awatted from Central Asta and by the attitude of the diplomatic corps when all its members have assembled at Peking. At the same time it 1s by no means impossible that the cesperate intrigues of the war party, which Low commands the sympathy of the Empre3-, may precipitave hostilities at any moment, hence the extreme divergercies of native and foreign judgment concerning the result. Visits of Western War Ships to Corea There are prospects of visits to Corea by the ships of several western nations, and the U. S. ship Ticonderoga is still hovering in that vicinity. The Itallan ship Vittor Pisant. commanded by the Duke of Genoa, contem- Plates an approach, and there {3 a report of a suflar ttention on’ the part of a German ves- sel with Prince Heinrich on board.

Nothing has been made public respecting Gordon’s Intentions, He travels northward 15 visit Ki Hung Chang, with whom he was Intt- mately associated during the T'aeping rebvellion. Thus, relations were broken off, however, aiter revolt was subdued, owing to Taes treacherous violation of the pledges for the satety of th vanquished Insurgent leaders. It 13 commonly believed that Gordon is willing to enter the Chinese service even as against Russia, pre- vided that certain vigorous conditions such as conducting hostilities on civilized principles are strictly guaranteed.

The Japancse proposals for new treaties have been laid before the diplomatic representatives and’ transmitted to the various powers. A slight change is fugpeee in the system of extra territorial jurisdiction, apparently with a view to holding foreigners guilty of offe: egalnst the state more strictly to account than heretofore, but no interference with general ‘tra territorial principles is yet contemplated. Considerable moditjeations of the existing com- merclal regulations are demanded, Japan asks for the exclusive control of the coasting trade and for an augmentation of customs duties on certain articles of import. Duties are in no case to exceed 30 per cent of original values, the average to be about 10 per cent. The treaty is to remain in foree — years after the ex- change of ratitications, 12 months’ notice being thereafter requisite on either side in case of in- tion to abrogate. ‘The propositions are wale ‘sally admitted to be moderate and reason- able, yet strong opposition is auticipated from the British officials who earnestly, oppose every measure calculited to check British imporia- Uons in the slightest degree, regardless of Japan's imperative needs. The French and German legations will follow the Engiish, but. the Amerfean warmly favors the projezied alterations, together with the Russtan and Ttuullan, Russian naval reinforcements ar riving in considerable numbers.
