RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

LONDON, Aug. 26.—The Times, on the desire of the United States to negotiate a reciprocity treaty with Canada on the basis of the econ­omical doctrines prevalent in the Union, says; (Janada is within the operation of England's commercial treaties and could not establish re­ciprocity with the United States without trans­gressing the most favored native clause in these treaties. The Times concludes as follows: Whether apart from the question of our treaty obligations, there would be any disposition in Canada to assent to the proposal, is most doubt­ful. The mind of Canada can bo freely ex­pressed in the parliament »of " the Dominion and we are willing to abide by its free declarations. There

is no disposition to fetter Canadian liberty of action, even if the establishment of a custom union with the United States was the result of it , but the prospects of the scheme are at least doubtful. When the subject was raised some four years since the Dominion government protested they would never listen to any sug­gestion for the admission of manufacturers of the United States on more favored terms than those of the United Kingdom, and we have no reason to suppose any change of sentiment has since been developed.

MONETARY CONFERENCE. PARIS, Aug. 2C.—The monetary conference is

expected to terminate Wednesday. The dele­gates will dine at Elysee Tuesday. At the sit­t ing to-day Groesbeck urged the resumption of free mintage of silver on the ground that cir­cumstances have greatly altered till its BUS*-pension by the Latin Union in Ger­many the stock iH greatly reduced and Asiatic demands have revived. The Swiss representative contended that if the Latin union had not suspended free mintage of silver the countries composing i t would have been deluged by demonetized German stocks. He also feared the Nevada and South American supply might increase the Belgian representa­tive, pointed out the impossibility of fixing the value of silver by litigation. Le Combe, of the English delegation, pointed out that silver was liable to great fluctuations, and these might be aggravated by changes in currency and the laws of various countries. No resolution of Congress, he said, could effectively lessen this evil.as every government would study only its national interests. Horton, of the American delegation, congratulated England and France on having changed the opinion they held in 1867 in favor of demonetization of •silver.

A 8PLrr. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 26.—The report of the

Rhodope commission was signed Sunday at Buyukdere by the British, Italian and Turkish delegations. The Hussian and German dele­gations refused to sign. The Austrian dele­gate was prevented from attending by illness.

LONDON, Aug. 26.—The principal charge of the Rhodope commission against the Russians is that of bombarding and burning villages near Rhodope, which refused to disarm. A zone of several miles between Stanemika and Demotika has been completely devastated. The commission recommends a permanent interna­tional commission and local police.

T h e Commiss ioner Gives H i s Vers ion of t h e Or ig in of t h e Cont roversy in Rela­t ion to Hal f Breeds a t I n d i a n Agencies .

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Indian Commissioner Hayt publishes a paper on the recent endorse­ments received by Gens. Sheridan and Terry of a report made by Col. Carlin regarding half breeds born a t Indian agencies, and says the paper would have appeared sooner b a t the sec­retary of the interior regarded it needless. The commissioner addressed his communica­tion to whom i t may concern, and gives this origin of the trouble: Early in December last there was a conference at the White House, intended to enable the civil and mili­tary branches of the government to act in har­mony and promptly ascertain the work to be done on the Missouri river. After the business had been disposed of some conversation passed between Gen. Sherman and myself about the demoralization caused by proximity of soldiers camps to Indian agencies. Gen. Terry, sitting at some distance, made a remark he believed the Sioux women to be exceptionally virtuous, and asked me if it were not so. I said in reply, that if it were so those at Standing Rock Agency must be an exception, as resi­dents from the agency had been in the Indian bureau a short t ime previously, and had stated that nearly one half of the children born a t that agency were half-breeds. This was all that has passed between Gen. Terry and myself on the subject, and was the only reference made to Standing Rock Agency. I t would seem that if there was anything said by me on tha t occasion that would justify Gen. Terry's subsequent letters, that was the t ime and place to make the issue, as there were present the President, Secretary Schurz, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Terry, Supt . Hammond and myself. Commissioner Hayt thus closes his paper: "One effect of the publication of these endorsements will be to surprise the public that officers in high positions should indulge in a style of remark that at best closely re­sembles the Chinese method of warfare, and has only to be persevered in to bring honorable names into disrepute.".

LABOR PHILOSOPHERS.

T h e L a b o r C o m m i t t e e H e a r More Reasons Advanced for t h e Depress ion of B u s i ­ness,

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The Congress labor committee met again to-day, and Mr. Hewitt read a postal card he had received from John Peters, telling him "you have made it a point to gather up all the crazy men of New York and show them up as an exanlplo of American mechanics. You ate a fraud, bad counterfeit, and every intelligent person can see your game."

Charles H. Marshall, ship owner, told the story of the decline in the American shipping trade, a t t r ibut ing it to England getting ahead in the use of iron* construction of vessels, and to the navigation laws which crushed out the remaining vitality in the shipping interests. There was absolutely no return to capitalists in the ship owning trade at present. Our profit is a negative one, as we only save ourselves by running our snips at a loss from the greater loss we would sustain by lett ing them remain idle. He believed that a sound currency and abolition of the navigation laws would ultimately bring good times around, through economy in national, State and municipal governments was a vital neces­sity.

Vice President Walker, of the gold and stock telegraph, held that the economical crisis was caused by over absorption of ready capital into fixed or permanent investments, thus drawing off from the daily commercial business capital necessary for i ts proper continuance of a set­tled currency on a sound coin basis. Govern­mental supervision of all corporations, tenta­tive, financial and fiscal legislation, and a slight protective tariff, he believed, would bring about another era of prosperity and ac­tivity.

Committee adjourned to to-morrow.

TOLEDO, Aug. 26.—The political campaign in Northwestern Ohio was to-night opened on the part of the Republicans by Secretary Sherman, who addressed a largely attended meeting at Wheeler's Opera House. The secretary devoted himself mainly to consideration of the finan­cial question. Mr. Sherman during his speech read a letter from a correspondent of the Cin­cinnati Enquirer of to-day, in which the fol­lowing questions were asked about the trade dollar: First—What is the mat ter with the trade dollar? I expect you to say it is not a legal tender, nor is it for ninety cents. Sec­ond—Did the government receive dollar for dollar when she pu t the trade dollar out? and, Third—Did the person on receiving the trade dollar from the government do so with the un­derstanding that he had to take i t to China to spend it? If anybody is to blame who is i t?

He said that the trade dollar was not a legal tender, bu t it is worth 90 cents as bullion. The standard dollar is a legal tender and therefore worth par. This is the difference. To the second question he answered that the govern­ment did not receive dollar for dollar for the trade dollar, bu t received 1 ^ cents for coining each dollar for private bullion owners. That waB all. I t was the miller that ground the grist for a small percentage. To the third question he replied tha t the bullion owner did Deceive the trade dollar for exportation to China, a de­vice made to give him a market for his bullion, and upon the fall of silver i t was perverted by him as a means of cheating our own people.

Sett led w i t h T h e i r Cred i to r s . NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The Remington Sons,

arms manufacturers, have settled with their creditors by issuing 7 per cent, bonds reaching seven years.

MEMPIS, Tenn., Aug. 26.—To-day the weather has been cloudy and gloomy in the extreme. The fever has not only increased in the city, b u t h a s s e e m e d t o t h w a r t t h e efforts t o s a v e t h e lives of many poor people who are moved out of the city, by appearing in two camps. I t is now difinitely known that three deaths occured yesterday from fever at camp. Joe Fillians a n i several other refugees are sick. In ad­dition to these a woman also died from heart disease. When found, this morning;, in her tent, a young babe was discovered on its dead mother's breast, asking i t ' s wanted nourish­ment. At the camp near Overton Station, on the Memphis & Paducah railroad, Cuarlea F . Egan died this afternoon. For the past twen­ty-four hours the board of health records show one hundred new cases and twenty-six interments. Dr. Alex. Erskine was taken down to-day. Also Father McGaveny and Botel, of St. Peter's parish. There is great need for physicians and nurses, our own physicians having more than they can attend to, and many of the Bick having to go for days without attention of nurses. A ride through the districts where the fever is the worst draws forth many appeals to be directed where and how to obtain the services of a phy­sician. As a result many do not receive medi­cal attention until too late to save life. The Howards employ five physicians, but sick calls are more than they can attend to. Two of onr practicing physicians have died with fever, and five others are now down.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 26.—New cases, 125; deaths, 44, Dr. Warran Stone, who returned from Port Eads on Sunday, leaves for Grenada thiB evening in response to a call from the Howards.

The Times says the strong sympathy shown to the afflicted by the more fortunate cities of the North is something not to be easily forgot­ten. On every side we hear of the most noble efforts being made to raise contributions in aid of th« afflicted. While the North with a lavish hand is soothing the fevered brow of Southern­ers suffering, she is building a monument of gratitude which will be luminous for ever.

O. V. Shearer, a native of Alabama, lately city editor of the Times, died of fever to-day, aged 31. The deaths to-day include fourteen children under 8 years.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 26.—Mortuary report for week ending Sunday, 6 p. M., Bhows deaths from all causes 493, of which 308 were of yel­low fever. Of the deaths by fever 2J0 were white and 18 colored', 69 died in the charity hospital, 5 in the hotel Drew, and 6 in the Toro infirmary.

Nurses are worn out, two of the most eminent physicians just taken down. Physi­cians needed, with nurses, bu t not without.

(Signed) B. P. ANDERSON,

W. TATHAM." "GRENADA, 12:10 P . M.—Your telegram just

received. Dr. Veazie is not sick. One New Orleans nurse is sick, but walking about to-day. We need all kinds of nourishment for sick. Need twenty-five nurses worse than anything else. Material not exhausted. Nnrses for Holly Spring passed up. For God's sake send nurses if you can. Pay $5 per day. - (Signed) B. P . ANDERSON.

GRENADA, 12:25 P . M.—Try and get Dr. Man-deville to come back. If not possible get Borne other physicians. Only two local physi­cians on duty. Will be down Roon. Nurses or help of any kind wanted. Some families have not a well person to wait on them. Eight deaths last night, six whites and two blacks.

(Signed) D R . VEAZIE. In response to the above telegrams the How­

ard association sent Dr. Stone with four nurses; also supplies of ale, champagne, fresh meats in ice, cracknels, etc., and authorized those in authority at Grenada to draw on the Howard association of this city for all needed supplies.

T H E B R I T I S H COLUMBIAN M E T H O D .

A Tax of Forty Dollars a Head on Six Thousand Chinamen.

[From the San Francisco Chronicle.] T h e neighboring province of Bri t ish

Columbia has latterly been in t h e throes of an anti-Chinese agitat ion quite as vigorous as tha t now prevalent in th is State , and measures for the abatement of coolie im­migrat ion and a reduction of the scourge upon civilization to safe control have been a leading issue before the provincial parl ia­ment , a t present s i t t ing in Victoria. T h e plan devised by the government party, en­titled the Chinese tax bill, after a long course of spiri ted discussion, a t tended wi th a variety of propo­si t ions to amend, wajj nnallj^passed on the 10th* insk with no' material change from the original form, except a reduction of the pro­posed tax on Chinamen from $60 to SBdOper annum. T h e parl iament was apparent ly unanimous on t h e necessity of restr ict ing Chinese immigrat ion and regulat ing coolie labor, and the opposition to the bill, evi­dently excited on behalf of those interested in fostering coolie labor, mrnifested itself in u.-ging delays and amendments calculated to render the act ineffective or to incur the disapproval of the superior authori ty of t he dominion government . Al­though subject to the approval of the gov­ernor general, and to the imperial sanction as well, if i ts provisions may be found to conflict with any treaty obligations b inding the Bri t ish government and i ts dependen-cias in common, the act becomes immedi­ately operative, and the Chinese have the alternative of paying their t r ibute of $40 per capita, or commut ing by labor upon the pub­lic highways a t the ra te of 75 cents a day, less the expense of board and lodgings. This obligation is rendered unavoidable by a supplementary clause imposing a severe pen­alty, ei ther by fine or imprison­ment , on any person employing a Chinaman who is no t a rmed with a receipt from the government as evidence tha t he is duly licensed to labor in the province. T h e n u m b e r of Chinese in Bri t ish Columbia a t present is estimated a t between five and six thousand, and taking the lower est imate the aggregate revenue from this source will amoun t t o the round sum of $200,000, which is considerably in excess of the ent ire revenue of t h e province heretofore realized from taxation. About 1,500 coolies are employed in the salmon canneries on Frazer River, and these will be held to a "tribute of $45,000, which sum the employers may ad­vance on the wages of the coolies if neces­sary. F o r some years pas t the Chinese have been tak ing out nearly $2,000,000 annually from the gold mines of Br i t i sh Columbia, all of which has been sent out of the coun­try, with a large amount in addit ion gained from general pursuits* Their expenditures in the country for any other benefit t han the t rade of their own merchants is infinitesi­mal , and they have t h u s far almost com­pletely escaped t r ibute to the government which tolerates and protects t hem, th rough their shrewdness in concealing the value and ownership of proper ty and their proverb-

talent for falsehood. The pres-

SHOOTING AT CAMBRIDGE.

LSpecial Teleuram to the Globe.] RUSH CITT, Aug. 26.—Quite a serious shoot­

ing affray occurred in Cambridge, Isant i coun­ty, last evening, in which an old resident of that place. Mr. A. J . Conger, was seriously if not fatally injured. Mr. Conger keeps a hotel and drug sto. e at that place and has been ad­vertising of late in their local paper for a doctor to W a t a in Cgjn>riffa» Last evening,* :Dr.~1Warriner. Brother-in-law of S. L. Staples, of Princeton, and also himself a resident of tha t place, was in town on a drunken spree, and resenting the interference with his business, went into Conger's hotel and used some abusive language to Conger, where­upon Mr. Conger threw the doctor out of the hotel pretty roughly. The doctor picked him­self up and went away swearing vengeance and that he would shoot Conger, etc. He came back shortly with a shot-gun loaded with fine shot and buckshot and made some derronstrations outside, at which Conger put his head out of the door; when the doctor, aim­ing at his head, fired. The shot took effect in his face, and one buckshot struck his forehead, passing close to the skull around the head. We did not learn whether Dr. Warriner was arrest­ed, bu t the last report from Conger was that he was not expected to live.

SALT LAKE, Aug. 26.—A Mormon with two wives took them before the Third district court of this city to-day asking for naturalization papers for the second wife. She answered in the affirmative to the question whether she was living in polygamy, whereupon the district at­torney objected that she was not of good moral character, and the objection was sustained. The Evening News, Mormon church organ, ad­vises polygamous wives hereafter, on any mat­ter which the law of the land is concerned, to call themselves by their maiden names, and in any court to take the position of unmarried women.

A Buried Bottle the Witch's Spell huming the Bottle Gives Relief.

[Baltimore Evening Bulletin.] T h e small houses on Watson street , be­

tween Central avenue and Lit t le Gough street, are inhabi ted by negroes who have been intensely excited for several days pas t by t h e " nefarious practices of a so-called conjurer. T h e person upon whom the deni­zens of "Watson street believe the conjurer has laid his spell is a young colored w o m a n named Jul ia Green, who was born ' in St . Mary 's county, Maryland. W h e n the Bui letin reporter met her yesterday she certainly had the appearance of being a woman who had suffered terribly from some mysterious cause. Th in , even to emaciation, her hands were long and skeleton-like in the i r wanness, while . her eyes wore an anxious, restless expression, as if she felt the presence of some terrible malady. While speaking she seemed deeply affected, and talked in a way t h a t showed she had no hope save from some superhuman source. She says she came to Bal t imore about twelve years ago, and u p to within four mon ths pas t had been living with a m a n named Henry Clayton, by whom she had two children. About a year ago Clayton neglect­ed Jul ia , and commenced going wi th a wom­an named Maggie Mitchell . Th i s created ill-feeling between them, and one day the woman Mitchell came to her h o u s e ^ N o . 76 Weston street, and, push ing open t h e door, came in and began to fight her. I n t h e melee which ensued Maggie pulled out a handful of Ju l ia ' s hair . After they were separated Maggie stooped down, dipped i t in some of Ju l i a ' s blood, which had been spilled upon the floor, and going out remarked: " I wall fix heir y e t . " Soon after th i s Clayton

5went to live wi th t h e woman Mitchell , who continued to make threats-against her .

One day, abou t four m o n t h s ago, while Ju l ia was s i t t ing in t h e ki tchen wi th Clay­ton ' s mother , she was suddenly seized with in tense pa ins all th rough her body; her m i n d wandered, and her left a r m became paralyzed. Since t hen she has h a d similar sensat ions repeatedly, while her body, which was s t rong and fleshy when t h e at tacks commenced, has wasted away t o a shadow. Las t Fr iday, while t h e children were playing in the yard, one of them dug u p a bott le . I n i t was a

ment of th i s coast, and who has been p e r sonally interested in the analyzing of t h e auriferous sands and gravels of th is coast, stated dur ing an interview with a Chronicle reporter , yesterday, tha t he was of the opin­ion gold-bearing sands could be found the entire length of the Pacific coast, from Po in t Tr inidad to Brit ish Columbia, and tha t with­in those points there could no t be found a space five miles in length which did no t con­tain claims t h a t either were being worked or had a t some t ime been worked and aban­doned, leaving t h e remains of former works as a sign of previous occupancy. T h e only claims upon the east line tha t have ever been thoroughly worked, t ha t is, worked in such a manner as to extract every particle of color from the gravel worked, were those a t Gold Bluffs, the upper bluff be inc the proper ty of Mr. Fernald and t h e lower be­longing to Mr. Chapman. These claims are very valuable, some §100,000 having been taken out of the lower one since J a n . 1 last. T h e bluffs are from three hundred feet to seven hundred feet in height, and are ac­cessible only at two or three points . The miners rely upon the t ide to assist t hem in their work, and depend upon the surf ' s com­ing in either from t h e southwest or nor th ­west, when i t rolls u p the beach, and dash­ing against t he bluffs retreats , t ak ing the gray sand with i t and leaving long, narrow, semi-circular shaped veins of dark blue sand, which is scooped up by the miners , packed on mules and taken to a corral, where it is worked out at leisure. A working test was made a short t ime since of 1,445 pounas of sand taken from the Chapman, which re­sulted in a yield of §36.70 worth of 957-1,000 fine gold, or $27.28 to the ton. Several experiments relative to the respective rich­ness of sands taken from different poinis along the coast l ine were made by Mr . Best with the aid of a coal shovel and a bucket of water. Two ounces of sand taken from the Stone Lagoon beach, i n Humbold t county, panned out thirty-four colors or about $ 10 to the ton, Th i s est imate is based on a cal­culation made by actual eount and weight of five hundred and fifty colors to the cent. This specimen of sand migh t more properly be called a light-blue gravel and is very easily worked. Sands taken from this locality have never been, known to yield less than 36 cents, or uiorP than $8.21 per ton . Two ounces of sand t aken from the ocean beach, panned out in a like manner , yielded sixteen colors, many of which were so minute tha t t h % could scarcely be seen. Allowing eight hundred colors to the cent the result would be $2.6G to the ton . Th i s sample was worked with difficulty, owing to fineness and the large amount of magnet ic i ron i t contained, and which caused i t to clog together like steel filings. Two ounces of sand taken from the beach in the vicinity of Pis tol river, Oregon, upon being similarly treated, yielded thir ty-two colors or about $5.12 to the to' t . T h e gravel was of a bluish-gray color' aud easily worked. A specimen taken from this beach yielded $56.24 to the ton by actual assay. Mr . Best thought tha t the only way in which these sands could be worked so as to be any ex­ten t remunerat ive would be by making use of the mos t improved machinery, thereby enabl ing the miner to thoroughly work out the most minu te particles or "flour gold" contained in them.

The gold diggings recently discovered by A. J . J . Phe lps , located near Mussel Rock, in San Mateo county, and extending thence southerly along the beach toward P o i n t San Pedro , were visited yesterday by a Chronicle reporter* T h e route to the place where Phelps is encamped is tor tuous in the ex­treme, and is no t likely to be troubled and annoyed by any large influx of Sunday visitors. Phe lps has pitched his t e n t wi thin a few hundred yards of tb«* rock, in a shel­tered little nook, which he ' has christened "F re sh Water Canon." I t is so called be­cause a stream of clear, l impid water flows down t h e hills from Lagnna Alta, a mile away. T h e precipitous sandstone bluffs closely resemble those of the ocean-beach mines, b u t the beach itself is somewhat lower. These bluffs are believed to contain more or leas of the gold, which is also found in the black sand in streaks and patches t h a t are believed to be sufficiently auriferous to pay well for the working. Over t en thous­and feet have been secured by one company, and numerous other claims to the southward have also been staked out by private par t ies . E . J . T o n Tiederman is the recorder for the min ing district of San Mateo county.

The Contest Between the Civil and Mili­tary Authorities.

fN.Y. Times.] If the report be correct that , as a result of

Inspector Hammond ' s overhauling of the Standing Rock agency, Agent Hughes has resigned, his obituary probably mus t b e ­gone to jo in Livingstone, Gregory, Gasman, Clarkson and Hudson. Inspector H a m ­mond hardly treads anywhere, on his t ou r along the Missouri, without s l u m p i n g through—so thin is the crust tha t covers up t h e frauds, thievings and perjuries of some agencies, and the inefficiency and imbecility of others .

S tanding Rock has long been a s tanding quarrel and rock , of offense—a pierre " Wechauffement between the civil and mili­tary authorities. I t was a t the S tand ing Bock and the Cheyenne River agencies tha t the ponies of the Indians were seized two y e a w a g o b y k h e mititary authori t ies, after the civilian commissioners had ex­pressly promised tha t they should not be seized, thus bringing the two in direct con­flict. T h e feeling of hostility engendered by th i s affair between the military and civil authorit ies was increased a few months since when the latter charged the former with fearfully demoralizing the agency. T h i s charge was made by Commissioner Hay t directly to President Hayes , and was after­wards repeated, so tha t there might be no mistake. Gen. Terry, the depar tment com­mander , ordered an investigation a t once, in the course of which the priest a t the agency, the school teachers, and t h e Indian chiefs were examined. Instead of f ally halt of t h e four score and more of the illegitimate half-breeds around the post being the children of soldiers, only about half a dozen were proved to have this paternity, while the greater por­t ion of them were traced to civilian employes connected with the agency. This refuta­t ion of the scandalous charges was, however, received in silence a t Washington, whereup­on Gen. Sheridan called at tent ion for a sec­ond, and, finally, for a th i rd t ime, to the re­sult of the investigation; and , al luding to " the well-known irreproachable character of Gen. Terry, and his high sense of honor and fa i rness ," he added, " I fully sympathize wi th h im in his endeavor to clear his brother offi­cers and soldiers of his command from the charges made against them by the commis­sioner of Indian affairs." Gen. She rman pu t on an endorsement still more emphat ic : "1 confess," he wrote, " I have no patience to deal with the Indian question. T h e experi­ence of such men as Gens. Carlin, Terry, a n d Sheridan, who have for th i r ty years lived in contact with Indians , is pooh-poohed by the present commissioner, a mere novice, a mere theorist, who never saw a real I n d i a n . " H e also pointed out tha t "mil i tary discipline does something to curb the soldiers, whereas the agents and employes are restrained by no consideration, moral or physical ." T h i s was in May last. ;

Las t month the ill-feeling between t h e rival authorit ies culminated in a ludicrous incident, which might have become serious. Some of the Indian chiefs seized Hughes, the agent, and carried h im to the river,** where, as he claimed, they a t tempted t o drown him, being wickedly moved there­unto by Col. Carlin, the mil i tary poet com­mander . I t was soon ascertained, however, t ha t Hughes had under taken to break sev­eral chiefs, and enroll t hem as common In­dians under other chiefs. One of these was named "Goose ," whom the Indian bureau call " a very bad Ind i an . " His adheren t s had n o notion of having their goose cooked in such a fashion, and rebelled. Hughes a t once threw himself on their line of supplies —he stopped their daily rat ions. They en-" dured this till very hungry, and then ran h im to the river bank, in tending, not t o drown h im, but to put h im over, and so get h i m out of the reservation by the exercise of popular sovereignty and lynch law. Col . Carlin, a t this juncture , hurried personally to the scene, ordering his companies of sol­diers to follow, rescued Hughes and arrested the Indians .

Accordingly, Inspector H a m m o n d , who was in the region, investigating the Crow Creek frauds, was directed to repair to S tand­ing Rock. His very first conclusion was tha t there was no ground for presuming or believing that Col. Carlin had invited the at tack on Hughes, or, as i t was more cau­tiously stated at Washington, " t h a t he migh t have prevented i t . " Bu t the investigation soon went deeper, for already serious irreg­ulari t ies were charged. Some of these bore a disagreeable family resemblance to those of Crow Creek. Among them were report­ing more Indians on hand than were actually there; supplying the agency trader wi th goods sent out for free dis t r ibut ion to t h e Indians ; procuring s ignatures of I n d i a n chiefs to documents by misrepresent­ing their contents; cut t ing off supplies from Indians in a n arbitrary way, either for gain or for tyrannical power, and producing thereby serious cases of starvation; and misusing contracts for personal gain. I t is due to Agent Hughes to say tha t some of these charges obviously rest on his dealings with Indians l ike "Goose , " and need not imply fraud; t h a t the jealousy of army officers and sympath iz­ing civilians n n y have supplied others, and that a few months since an Indian commis­sioner examined the charges then existing, and seemed to consider them of small ac­count. For example, i t is maintained t h a t though the trader borrowed from the agency supplies dur ing midwinter, he repaid exactly when the weather allowed his own store s u p ­pl ies to come through, the advance having meanwhile been a convenience to the com­muni ty .

The full results of the inquiry are no t yet officially made pub l i c ; bu t if Agent Hughes has been suffered to s tep down and out, In ­spector H a m m o n d is obviously satisfied tha t the agency needs a change. Secretary Schurz and Commissioner Hayt have given ample proof this year tha t the i r promises to reform the Indian agencies were no t empty words. The appoin tment of Gen. Ham­mond, last winter, a s inspector, was a clear case of gett ing the r igh t m a n in the r igh t place, as the work already done in the Crow Creek agency, the Lower Bride agency, t he Yankton agency, the Cheyenne River agency, and the Standing Rock agency, will show. Bu t there is plenty of scope for like reforms elsewhere.
