Gollycuddy , who up to a year Is I ago served in the capacity of Indian If ; agent and was held in high esteem by If reason of his thorough knowledge of Eg the nature of the rod man , was at the I [ Paxton yesterday. Speaking of the sen- I [ sational report sent out by the asso- II a ciuted press of the Sioux going on the If. war-path , Mr. Gullycuddy said he did If n t beliave the Sioux had any "bad II ' - heart" intentions whatevor. Hewasin- El \ olined to attribute the scare and ropor.t | [ to tfie fact of some of the young It ! buck * * trying to gut up n , war dauco It purely for the purpose of having some | | I > ort. "It in very probable , " ' snid he , If "tk t fearing the intervention of their IL ageute , the bucks had begun preparing 11" ; for the festivities in a quiet or seoretivc I | " | way and had been found out , and that ILj without stopping to thoroughly investi- | L | gate what he was writing about , some fg correspondent had rushed his first snp- | m l > osition in the matter off over the press IS wires. The affair has a further look of I 9 error about it to me for the reason that I my knowledge of the relations existing I m between the tribes tells me that war I m among them is very nearly a thing for- I m ever past The reason is , that they are I intermarrying to an extent that would I I prove wonderful to a person acquainted I I with Indians fifteen or twenty years ago. I Again , the Indian of to-day has two I thoughts for preserving the remnant of I his race where his ancestors had one of I destroying it No , I think that govern- I inent aid has been invoked for the Inst I time to stay the scalping knife , and that I in the future all rumors of Indian raids I may be looked upon as pure and I , groundless sensation.

G. BLAINE ON THE POLITICAL STUMP. A Demonstration at Ifangor in which lie U tho Vrlnclpal Eiyttre. BAjfaon , He. , Aug. 23. Five thousand people attended tbo republican demonstra tion to-day. Tho weathor was cool and pleasant. Mr. Blaino was loudly cheered when he mounted tho platform to niako a speech. He was in perfect health except a slight hoarseness. His speech was written , and he confined himself to lua manuscript. Ho began his romarhs by stating that tho democrats all o\'er tbo county bad perverted his statemont made iu Now York when bo compared the savings iu tbo banks of Eng lish workmen to tboso of Massachusetts. They bad said that ho meant tbo aggie ato of eaviugs in the Uritish baiiiws , when in lact bo had said tbo savings of tbu working people. Ho had found thoaa in England amounted to $ iy2,0U0,0Ul ) , wbilo in Massachusetts they amounted to $317OU0OJ. ) England , be begged bis uudieuc : to remember , bad a populatoa : of : > 0,00J,00J , wbilo Massachu setts hid only 1,750,000 inhabitants , lio- membering that English workingmen lived in a free tradu country , aud those of Mas sachusetts in a protoctcd country , it would bo impossible to lly from tbo force of tbo argument. He was willing , however , to admit that tbo aggre gate savings in British banks , amounting to ? 520,000,000 , all belonged to English workers , and then take into eons.deration tho proportion of tho population , and then what , consolation do tho democrats n ' nd ? Tbo speaker then went on to make a like comparison between Eng land aud other otates , and his figures mado tho -ault tho same. He showed that aftor twenty-eight years of a protective tariff tbu wage workers of New York and New England h.v ; $715,000,00 ! ) on deposit against an au re ato of all sav ings of § 520,000,000 111 England. Ho said that it showed tho Ameiiean work man to have saved live times as much as tho Englishman. Democrats ho said , always made a point that tne pros perity of nuiuufacturirjg in this country was at the expense of tiio lai aier. To re fute this Mr. lilaino furnished statistics showing the mow Ji of tbo western or farm ing states. Tne houthern states had recov ered fiom tho bankruptcy and devastation of four years ot war , and under fifteen years of protection now had 52,100.000,000 more property than t er owned in 18(50 ( ; and still , continued the speak er , these aro the very ones who aro leading the light against protection. The democratic president and house , ho went on to say , now proposed freo trade , giving as one reason therefor the surplus in tho treasury. Tbo simple truth was that the surplus existed because of maladminis tration of the treasury department. The secretary wa9 by law compelled to apply it to the reduction of tho public debt. When Mr. Blaine closed ho was loudly cheered. The Hon. John A. Kasson , of Iowa , then made an able argument on tho tariff , after which the meeting closed. rCtt ; > Af's \iiiK idL S.iibX .N > . - . . . --5. t'lir Chances for .SrotriiiTlieir ifiuttltl'iUI .Y < > / IVry J.ic iiinitfhuj. AEos"bud Agency ( Dak. ) specal sa3Ts : The action of the commissioners in sup pressing all information regarding its proceedings , does not preclude th" In dians on the adjoining reserves from keeping thoroughh' posted about what is going on. Euuucrs are perpe'nnlly journe3'ing to and fro , bluing the latest news. A journey * of 200 or even 300 miles is not considered too great an undertaking when it is neccssaiy to communicate with a distant tribe or aircsicy * . The runners are not only * well mount ed , but also at certain designated dis tances furnished with rehiys of horses , and new messengers are ponstantly on the alert to be the bearers of fresh in- rclligence. As time goes on the Eosebud Indiana seem to become more and more op posed to signing the treaty * , and as far us can now be definitely ascertained , this opposition is universal throughout the tribe. Advices received to-day via Lower Brule , stated that the commissioners have succeeded in securing a few signa tures from the Standing Eock Indians , but deny * that they have met with the success previouslv'reported. The animus of the bill can bo divided into two classes. First , those who tena- jiously cling to their old barbaric cus toms and have no desire of adopting the liabils of civilization , and second , those ivho anxious to improve their condition md can see the advantages of holding -heir land in severalty , but do not con sider the price offered an adequate com pensation for what they * are asked to give tp in exchange. The White Eiver valley , the section to je opened up to settlement , is unques tionably the garden spot of the reserve , nany of the places where the Indians low reside being broken ravines and iimdy hills totally unfit for agricultural mrsuits. And Avhile it is true that the nominal irico offered is fixed at 50 cents an acre , till , after deducting tho cost of the sommission and the expenses incidental o the allotments , the actual sum real- zed will not exceed 20 cents an acre. The Indians thorouirhfy * understand hese facts and consequently are at a oss to understand why their land should lot command a higher price. Those who have attended the govern- nent schools take a lively interest in he counsels , and are relied upon for in- orniation. Many of these pupils re- urn full of the wrongs and oppressions • f the Indian race , and are more in- lined to give the Indians a grossly ex- ggerated idea of the value of their onds than to depreciate its worth. Swift .Bear , tho chief of the tribe , a nan of great influence and power among lis people , came to the agency this reek. This is his first visit for several LlOlltllR. He is in favor of an allotment , but onsiders the price too low. He inti- nates that there would have been no rouble in inducing the Indians to sign , f the price had been fixed at § 1 an acre. He states that under the present ad ministration his people have made more "dvancement than ever before during he same period of time. The Indians are very reticent , and it s almost impossible to ascertain their eal views. Judging from the present 6ntlook tho Julians of this reserve , if they * sign at 11 , will do so through fear that a re- usal will curtail the present benefits he3 * receive from the government nl- hough no threats of this character have ieen made. They very much regret that their gent under the provisions of the bill , rill bo obliged to act on the commis- ion as they have great confidence in is honor and integrity and dosire his dvice as to their action in tho promises- A Council With Indians.

Washington , Aug. 24. The mwago from tho president on tbo subject of tho re jection of tho fisheries treaty was laid be fore tho senate and road in full by tht clerk. The reading was listened to by the sena tors on both sides of the chamber with oloso attention. When it camo to close Sherman moed that it bo printed and referred to the committco on foreign relations. Edmunds On that motion I wonld like tosay a word , tboughlam in favor of it. If I had been five years yo ' ungor than I am I should have been surprised at that mes sage. But I am not ; and I am only very highlyratified { at tho patriotic cxnrcsdon vl'tho' hopes , wishes , almost intentions of tho president of the Unit d State ? in refer ence to tho protection of American inter ests and American rights. But the pecu liarity of the situation , as it seems lo tuo , is that , having had a statute providing for eolf-defense , approved by the president of the United Statro and passed by a substan tially unanimous vote of both houses ( if that made any difference to his duty in faithfully executing tho laws , ) and afier consideration of all its points and bearinus. tho extent to which it should go , tho objects to which it should bo limited , nnd the cirenmstancoi under which it should be brought into play , eighteen months in round numbers have gone by , and we are now informed by tho president of the Uuited States ( for I take it that that is what be means , although no woid of that kind is in the message. J that no step of any kind has b-on taken to carry into execution tne plaia provisions of that law. It is true that the law did not require the presi dent to put thtlaw into effect in thi way of self-de ense ( as I prefer to call it , rather than retaliation ) until a case should have arisen of wrong and injustice , which would satisfy him that American rights and in terests were being unjustly dealt with. Now what ha3 happened since the pasvi. e of this act ? If nothing has happened , if there have been no instances 01 injustice , of denial of American | liubtF , of unjust tieatnunt ot 1 American citizens in the provisions of course the president has beeu entirely right in taking the step in respect o" t.ie matter. If , however , in his opinion ( as be now states it , ) there have been instances of denial of just rights of American ciu : : r.s engaged in the business described in the act of 1887 , why is it that the pieMde.st has not taken any step iu tho exercise of the powers which the law imposed upon him and in the exorcise of the hiuh duty which the constitution in piee upon hbu , of taking caro that theso laws aro faith fullv executed. "Why has ho been silent lor eighteen months , with the whole power of the law in his hands ? I must express my surprise , not as a partisan , but as a citizen , that ho .las failed to take any steps , and now sends a message asking that additional powers bo given him. The Canadian government has not refused to trans ship fish on tho ground that the article did not override the con vention of 1818 , by which an Americrm fishing vessel was not to come within tho three mile limit. When the Canadian authority denied to American fishermen tho right to tranship their lish from Halifax to Boston or New York , the president was justified in forbidding Canadian fish or other goods transported across our country. That is the fact , and tho president tells us that it has existed now for two years. Following that fact , which the president says is a gross outrage , is the stat ute of the United States , which says if he is satisfied such fact exists he shall apply the means of redress which the statute has put in his hands. "Why does not he do it ? Alas , Mr. President , I think it is an in finite pity that in so simple a case an ade quate and full statute , which has never been tested by the first step , should remain unoxecnted and in state of "innocuous de suetude" until the president may sec whether congress will not put more ammu nition into his bands. senator hoar • aid tho senators on the democratic side iad fairly laid down before the demands and , threats and pretensions of tho little dominion of Canada. They thought they t wero lying down by the Bide of tho presic dent to comfort him in his position , but i j now , behold , tho president undertook to ! r. get up , and , shaking the mud from his own | J coat , to leave them where they had placed themselves. 1 Morgan said : The evidence is clearly * established that the purpose of all this op1 position to the president in respect to these 1 1 fisheries had not been to get tho governi i 1 ment into better shape , but to entrap the 1 executive and put hira ifto a straight jackj et where he would xj > the bidding of tho minority of the people of the United States represented in this chamber. They had aven threatened tho president with iin- peachnient if he dared to disobey their 1 commands and to countervail their will. I ( He thought the country would appreciato ! j tho fortitude of the man who could stand I . up 3gainst tho utterances of tho senator j from Vermont and perform his duty with ( a tremor. Morgan said he had discussed , the retaliation law as a law , looking to tho • treaty as a result. Tho senator from Verf mont had discussed it as aaw which looked to war as a result The senator s from Vermont had drawn the law and if t he had known of the case then recently oc- curw ' ng that violated the treaty of 1SI8 , he r ought to have put them in and made them j the basis of tho legislation. Tho president . says he "finds a statute in the way of retail- j ation. I desire to exclude from the right of transit through tho United States 'he j products of Canada and goods imported by j her from foreign countries , and amounting 1 in tho last six years to § 300,000,000. I de- j Biro to stop this if I am uudei compulsion j to retaliate , because this heavy part of tho blow will fall upon the people of Canada and not on my own people. " And tho president asks congress to declare whether he has the right to do that under tho law ns it stands. He says : "Remove that dife ficulty if you want retaliation , and I will s prohibit the passago of goods between tho fc United States and Canada on theso rail roads. " But that is not the thing which the senators on the other side want to have . done. The railroads have been pels of tho " republican * senators. You compel the 6 president to retaliate , and yet take good n care that certain of your great interests t ( shall not bo interfered with. Your candi- date for the presidency is a director of one p theso railroad companies. a : Fryo informed Morgan that Morton had a some time auo resigned his position as a ° railroad director. ° Morgan intimated that the nominal date ® of the resignation might not be the actual I ! on ? . Edmunds resented that implication , aud said that Morton played no trk-ks on the _ peopla of tho United States or anrbody P else. * - Hale characterized the president's mesP Bage a3 a desperate expedient to recover lost ground and a confession that the atti- • tude taken by his administration as to-the % fa-eaty was an attitude that had no accent | or force in it. After haviug fnileU in the treaty tho president found fault with the statute of retaliation ; and yet his secretary of the treasury had found power enough in the statutes to givo to British steamships fo and to tho Canadian Pacific railway per- mission lo transport goodB from one Amer ican port , San Francisco , to another Arner- * ican port , and thence to the teriniuus of v that railway. n Sherman thought the president's message t cr&i a movement to supply lest ground. If s he had hnieti tlvo trea"tyupon the principles s laid down iu the message it would have v been ratified by * a unn"ifnous vote. The v " " " / * - 1 • im 1 inMiwmirrniinniiiiiii president comes to congress and Biks for more power , when ho has power to bring tbo Canadian * to terms in twenty-four hours. Tho mere declaration on theMj two points that he will not allow fresh fish to como free into our markets as long as our flHhormuu are denied their rights , and that ho will not allow them to discriminate ag.iinst us in tho canals and treat transpor tation lines , will bring them to terms. I belicvo tho result of such a mode would bo tho union of Canada and tho United States , and tb.it it would be best for all. George took tbo floor , and the matter wont over without action. Adjourned. KxiiroKSioiiK In th Ilium * . "Washington , Aug. 24. The president's messago on the subject of tho fisheries treaty is tho all absorbing topic of conversa tion among the few members present in tho houso to-day. Tho dotnocrats praiso the message as a statesman-like utterance , and tho republicans generally condemn it as purely political. Kepreseutativo Hooker , democratic member of tho committco on foreign affairs , which will deil initially with tho messaco and tho "Wilson bill to give effect to the president's views , said : "I think it is a Very able exposition of our rights under tho treaty of 1818 , and that it presents very cogent reasons for enforcing the net investing tho president with power to retaliate against Canadian im porters and exporters. " Representative Payson , of Illinois , said : "Without fully committing myself to it , I think that tho president has sufficient power under the existing law to express the sentiment of our people , and not only complete recognition of our rights , but se cure an oqnitablo adjustment of the trouble. Thero ib more politics than neces sary in tho message. It would be a very excellent plan for the president to put his best foot forward with the idea of showing his intentions , and if that were found inef fectual , then ho might ask congress for ad ditional power. " Representative Crisp , of Georgia , said : "I think the messngo is decidedly a proper thing to do under the circumstances. " Representative Adams , of Illinois , ( rep. ) , said : "If he needs the power ho ask-j for he shall have it , so far as my vote goes. I am doubtful about tho existing law , how ever. " Representative Bayne , of Pennsylvania , Baid : "There is nothing iu it but a scheme to recoupe the soul of his lost political in fluence , and I predict ho will do tho same Dn the subject of tariff. " THE MESSAGE OF ( V1R. CLEVELAND. What is Said of the Document in Foreign Im nds. .London , Aug. * ii. xno &t. James cv - zciic , commenting on President Cleveland's message to congress , eays : "The position ia awkward and unpleasant fbr both coun tries. The retaliation threatened is so il logical and unreasonable that it is difficult to understand its precise cause and mean ing. Two plausible explanations occur. It may have been intended to influence votes , or merely to bluff Cauada into granting America's demands. There is no doubt that the matter is a serious one for Canada. Not merely local affairs aro concerned , but imperial interests are also involved. England must and will supply the proper safeguards for her Cana dian interest. We mu-t await the next step. It is difficult to suppose that the matter will be allowed to end otherwise than in a perfectly friendly manner. " Tho Globcsays President Cleveland makes a strong case agiinst Can : da , aud surmisej that Canada will doubtless be able to show equally as good a cose. 1the Canadians had rejected the treaty , it say3 , it would be easy to understand why Cleveland should ask for retaliation. But it cannot understand why Cleveland , generally a just man , should punish Can ada for an act of the American senate. It asks if Cleveland has attempted bid for tho Irish vote.

The iresident's message was much commented n by vessel owners on arrival of this uorniug papers , in which it was printed. ? he news soon spread and a crowd of sev- el owners congregated in the Merchant's Exchange , talking over the matter. It vas the general opinion amoai * business aen that no one here wanted retaliation s outlined in the message. On the other land the men who man the vessels aro j inanimous in their opinions that what tho | ( resident has proposed is just right. j Toronto , Aug. 21. Kditorial comment m President Cleveland's retaliation mes- r.ge is very severe ou Mr. Cleveland. Tlic nain position taken is that President Cleveland has descended to electioneer- ng claptrap , designed to outbid Blaino md Harrison for the auli-British vote. Everywhere to-day ttie all absorbing topic if conversation was ths message and tbo irobability of retaliation becoming actual , [ he fact that the message excited no strong : zeiing , generally speaking , among tho usines3 men of the city , is regarded as bowing a feeling that tbo object of he message will ha fulfilled when he presidential campaign is over. There \ re many violent persons , however , who 1 ndulge in very wild talk , and want the ; overnment to shut down altogether on \ he yankees and serve them with their own auce. At tho board of trade rooms tbo ( nessage was spiritedly discussed. The nove was much regretted , as eomo thought ( hat when the ball hnd been once set oiling , its direction might givo much rouble.

But tho prisoner was so- ( jlosely guarded to prevent 11113 * attempt' | at lynching that it was thought best to- wait until tho officers should become - > convinced that thero was no danger and. so rolaxed their vigilance. Tho officers : jk fell into tho trap laid for them , aud tho- 1 vigilantes were successful in carrying , | | out their plot. § , At 2 o'clock this morning twelvo- * masked men quietly proceeded to tho- jf lockup whero Cole was confined. Jj Stealthily nnd noiselessly they stir- 3 rounded tho building nnd overpowered * | ( tho two guards on duty , placing rcvol- f J vers to their heads , bidding them to- | 1 make no noise. Then the fustoninirs of • M the outside door wero broken with a. / fl sledge hammer and crowbars and Cole- | 1 and the guards wero taken out. Tho- r prisoner and their captives proceuded to- jT tlio railroad bridge just east of town n where Cole was strung up. As soon as. } he was dead the masked men took the- .Q guards back to tho lockup and impris- { oned them to prevent an alarm. Theib j they quietly disappeared , leaving no- SL cluo as to their identity. After placing- 11 tho ropo around Cole's neck ho con- y fessed the shooting , stating that he had no malico against tho ones he shot * , that tho bliooting was the result of bad whisky , and was unprovoked. After- < ' hearing his statement he was ordered to jump off the bridge , which he refused } ; to do , and was pushed off , falling about 1 eight feet and breaking his neck , death t I ensuing almost instantly.

At the pros- J * , cut timo the Kansas authorities are of- ' \ , fering a reward for his arrest for some- * bad conduct in that state. The best cit- ' [ izens here regret that the circumstances- t\\ \ wero such that the lynchers felt justified * in disregarding the law nnd feel that tho- lynching is chargeable to the fact that * several important prisoners have been 1 allowed to escape from tho county jail 1 at Red Cloud recently.Cole churned , relationship with the Younger family l and seemed desirous of imitating their t , acts.

It was reported from J < ' he committee on territories with only ' | me dissenting vote and thy came from ' 1 j ' enator Mauderson and Cullom , who in . fl heir minority report , Miy : "It is well understood both in Nevada I md Idaho that the annexation of North j j daho to Washington territory means -i 'fl he annexation of South Idaho to Ne- I • jula and the obliteration of Idaho.
