A S e N S ) VAN ST * NINETEENTH YEAR PREPARATIONS FOR LEAVING The Commission Concludes Its La- bors at Pine Ridge. A KICK AGAINST RATIONS, Many Justifiable Complaints Made by the Indians of the Manner in Which Beef Contracts Are Carried Out. About Throngh With Pine Ridge. Pixe Rivor Acexoy, -Dak, (via Rush- ville, Nob.,) June 20 —[Special Telegram to Tue Ber.]—The commission has concluded to leave here for the lower Brule agency as s00n as their special car is returned from Niobrara, where it went to take Governor Foster to the Santee agency. This will be to-morrow, or certainly Friday. The com- mission fecls that it hus dons all in its power here, and the few signatures now being ob- tained does not justify them to remain longer. It had been hoped to break the strong combination of Indians againsy the bill, bt this now seems impossible. As stated in these dispatches, it is woll kuown that a secrot and powerful influenco has been ox- ercised upon these Indians, and while sur- mises can be given, it is impossible to get at the facts, although much patience and diplomacy has been used. General Crook frankly admits this to be one of the most unsatisfactory cases in his Indian experi- ence. Red Cloud, on his return from Washing- ton, called a secret council and had the Indians pledge themselves in the most solerin manner to work against the bill after listening to his talk. He also wanted to leave $12,000 out of the $28,000 he is to receive for his pouies with Dr. Bland, of the Council Fire, as his share in helping to get the bill through and to pay for his efforts to defeat this land bill, and $2,000to an attorney. The remainiog $14,000 he wished to pay to W. J. Pollock to become attorney for all the Sioux, and wanted two couriers, with petitions, to be sent atonce to the different agencies to obtain the signatures of the head men to this effect. But his band objected to this on the ground that the other Indians had not lost their ponies and the money was theirs and it had nothing to do with the land. Pollock, in accordance with his letter to Red Cloud, was to bave been here yesterday. He has stated, as their attornoy, that he could keep their reservation intact, but faiied to make his appearance. Up to the present time 50 have sigued, about fifty over one-half of the three-fourths necded. ‘Tt is fully admitied that nine-tenths of the 250 absent with Buffalo Bill and other shows would sign in favor of the bill. Major Warner had a_long private talk in the awent’s office with Red Cloud to-day, but it was an unsatisfactory one. The wily' old chief was very pleasant in_his conversation, but would muke no promises, and gave only indeflnite answers to anything concerning the bill. To-day was to have been a big issue day, but the issue failed to take plico owing to the absence of cattle. This being the last is- sue in the present fiscal year and many cat- tle being Jost last winter, it nccessarily pro- duces a shortage. The ilew contractors haye not yet begun to put in the new supply. It was a great disappointment to a very lavy number of people from northern Nebrask who had come out to see the issue. Amel ican Horse bitterly scored tie beef con- tractors in his specch Monday, and ho cer- tainly scems justificd in the instance of Roache, of Minnesota, who has the contract of furnishing the cows and bulls here. Of the 240 cows delivered here only five were accepted, and of tie twenty-five bulls not one was received, many of them being less than yearlings, = A great sourco of complaint here by the Indians is the deliv- ery of their rations and annuities, The con- tracts are let in the spring_and uccented in May, yet they aro never deliverad until late m the fail ‘and often in the middle of the winter, It is thought thut the commissary should have a complete clearing up and everything issued by the end of the fiscul year. If this was done and the Indians had to wait on the action of the con- tractors for their rations there would be suffering and even starvation. As it is, by the agent reserving a portion of the ra- tions back to bide them over until the annual rations ure received, much suffering is cn- dured. To remedy this the government should seo that the contractors fill their con- tracts promptly in accordance with the law, There 18 one noticeable tuing here I find difterent from many agencies, and that.is [ can not flad an Indian or white man who has not & complimentary word for the agent here, Colonel H. D. Gallagher, stating that he iy the best agent they ever had since the formation of the agency. At the Santee Agency. Saxtee AcrNoy, Neb., (via Springfleld, Dak.,) June 26.—(Special Telegram to Tz Beg.|—Governor oster and & part of the clerical force arrived avthis ngency yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and while eating lunch were screnaded by a brass band com- posed of full blooded Indiuhs. Governor Foster called the fivst council to order at 4 o'clock. He explained the particulars of the bill that relates to the Santee Sioux Indians, These Indiaus are all very well advanced towards «wilization, being solf-supporting and only depending on the government for furnishing implemennts and lumber for bailiing purposes, Three of the Indian courcilmen spoke. Some of them thought it would ve very well for all the Irdians to | meet and talk this matter over. They ' claimed that they still had some money com- ing from the government on the Black Hills sale. They felt very kindly towaras the Rovernment since they were included in the agrecment, and all they wanted wus to re- ceive the saue as the upper Indians did. At this writlug 150 have signed. The total number of volers at this agency re 250, and every one of them will sign. ho onca Indiuns have been ordered to ro- rt here, and sign, and they are expected in -day.

THE ARISTOCRACY SHOCKED, It Will Bring the Highast Price of Any Residence PFroperty Ever Sold in Washington—Postmas« ters' Salaries Readjusted. 513 FOURTERNTH STRERT, WasmiNeron. D, C., June 20 The old aristocracy of Washington are con- siderably exercised over the conduct of the heirs and trustees of the Corcoran ostate in cutting up into building lots and advertising for sale the beautiful grounds that surround the mansion of the late philauthropist. Mr. Corcoran owned the finest house in Wash- ington. It stands opposite the white house across Lafayette square, and is inclosed within @ high brick wall. Ho had a park that covered nearly an entire block—one of the largest blocks in the city, This ground was precious to him, and he greatly enjoyed it. The flowers and trees were lus especial delight, and most of his morniugs during mild weather were spent wandering about his grounds and sitting upon his lawn, The property is inherited by his two grandchildren, Mr. William C. and Miss Lulie Kustis, aged somewhere from tweuty to twenty-five years. They do not appear to reverence the old mansion, as many of Mr. Corcorun’s old friends and neighbors do, and within a few months after his death shocked their circle of intimate ac- quaintances by advertising it for rent, but it is not a house easily rented. The rooms aro few in number, but very large, and were ar- ranged for the use of the childless old wid- ower, who needed only rooms enough ‘for himself and fus attendants. Now the heirs have decided to cut up the grounds into small lots and sell them on the market. Being situated in the most desirable portion of the city they will probably briug the high- est prices of auy residence property ever sold here. READIUSTMENT OF SALARIES.

He put off at Derry station about forty-five men who were coming from Johnstown. He states that when he moved out a great many of them got on again, aud it is more than likely the killed will reach the number stated.
