There seems to be little doubt that free coin- 100 | age will pass tho Senate when the vote is reached, and it is almost as certain to pase, the House. Mr. Reed is op: Posed to the bill, but he certainly not adopt a radical course to prevent its coming to a vote when it reaches the House. When during last session he yielded to the will of the house on the question of his right to refer a bill—then, too, silver Lill—to committes withotit laying it before fhe House, he was estopped from following a course now that would deprive the House, if a majority desire it, from voting on any. bill coming from the Senate.

LEAVING THE RESPONSIBILITY WITH THR PRES- IDENT. It therofore ‘appears certain that Mr. Har- rison will be called upon to pase his judgment upon a free coinage bill. ‘This means a serious embarrassment for him, which will likely involve his renomination. It will surely eut both ways. If he signs the bill the ‘east will be against him and the west will have no more use for him if he does not sign it. It looks as if the mere fact of his having to pass uyon the billone way or the other will be su ficient to defeat his renomination. His friends are, therefore, very anxious, and they want Mr. Reed to’ save him. The fact that Mr. Reed has no love for Mr. Harrison would not prevent his doing anything within reason to save the President from em- barrasament, but he cannot be expected to stultify himeelf, and by following 8 course which could not'be sustained. The veto of the President will kill free coinage, so that the only thing to be gained by such a course would be the relief of the President from a disagreeable juty.. THE ELEVATOR FATALITY.

SENATOR DAWES’ TALE. Senator Dawes was the first speaker of the morning session. He said that it was a vital question for the American people to settle whether hoy would make of the Indian popu- lation 250,000 homeless, worthless, vagabond tramps, or alike number of able, respectable and self-sustaining citizens. He told of what had been done and is doing in Congress in the matter, and expres himesif se strongly from the care cf the Interior Departaeat to the army. He did not think that the army could properly care for the training and teach- ing of the Indians out for their in- terests as ought to be done. GEN. CUTCHEON BELIEVES IN SCHOOLS, Gen.

ME WOULD BE ALL RIGHT IY TIME OF PRACE, BUT HASN'T SUFFICIENT SERVE FOR THE PRESENT OCCASION—SECRETARIES NOBLE AND PROCTOR IX ACCORD—A BATTLE EXPECTED. Secretary Noble this morning sent a dispatch to Daniel F. Royer, Indian agent at Pine Ridge agency, 8. D., dismissing him from the service. The Secretary directs him to turn over the property to Capt. Pierce, first infantry, U. 8. A., who will be the Indian agent at thix point This action as far as the removal of Royer is concerned was determined upon some time azo when the officials of the Indian office learned that Mr. Royer was not proving to be equal to the emergency. While his ability to perform the duties of his position in ordinary times is not questioned, yet since the present disturbances began he has failed to show the nerve which the situation requires. Some two months ago Special Agent Cooper was ordered to Pine jdge and he is there yet. Inspector Gardiner was also ordered there and these officials have aided the agent in the present crisis. WHY ROYER WASN'T REMOVED BEFORE. The reason that Royer was not removed be- fore was that the Secretary did not know whom to put in his place. Mr. Royer is a personal friend of Senators Moody and Pottigrew, the Senators from South Dakota, and is also @ resident of that state, He was highly recommended and no doubt in times of peace Would make an efficient agent. Owing to all these circumstances no change had been made. When, however, Gen. Miles seemed to think that he ought to have entire control of the ter- ritory of the seat of war, Secretary Noble and Indian officials, anxious to do anything that would contribute to the sup- Pression of the disturbance.directed the Indian agents to co-operate with the military in every possible way. This is being done, and in order to insure the proper management of affairs at Pine ltidge Agent Royer has been removed and Capt. Pierce of the regular army taice pice. Capt. Pierce, a8 an, Indian agent, will under the direction of the Socretary of the Interior. As an army officer he will be subject to the authority of the army officials. In of t. Pierce's position will be similar to that of the army oficer at Ban Carlos, Ariz, who is the acting agent there. NO CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY. The published statements that there is any conflict between the War Department and the Interior Department as to jurisdiction on the Indian agencies is denied by all parties con- cerned. Secretary Noble said today that be was in perfect accord with Secretary Procter in re- gard to the policy to be pursued. The Secre- tary anid that be had wored to do every. turbanes to an end. The rati had sufficient been supplied promptly and in quantity officers were acting in harmony with tue ti and, in fact, united effort was to give to Gen. Miles every facility tor carrying on his operations. THE SITUATION SUMED UP. ‘The situation as summed up at the Interior Department today is about as follows: There are in all about 20,000 Sioux Indians, men, women and children. About 15,000 of this number are accounted for, as they are living on the other reservations in peace and not taking red the present disturbance. This leaves a and children to face the earthworks, the howitzers and the 8,000 men under command of Gen. Miles. This | the number is further lessened by taking from it the friendly Indians who are still at the Pine Ridge agency, numbering perhaps some 1,500 men, women and children.
