RAILWAY reform seems just now
to be the order of the day. Even
the three trunk lines running be
tween Chicago and Omaha , known
as the lowa pool , have fallen into
line by abolishing commissions to

proposed to dispense entirely \\ith
the ' "scalpers" by authorizing the
railroad agents to purchase and re
deem all unused pyrts of tickets and
coupons such as travellers now sell
to scalpersIt is expected that
these reforms , when propeily carried

CHICAGO , September 8.
General Sheridan received a dis
patch from General Pope , command
ing the department of the Missouri ,
to-night , with a report that Colonel
Miles from camp on Red JXiver ,
August 31 , via Fort Dodge , of the
8th , of a battle with about 500 con
federated and hostile Indians the
day before. Col. Miles' command
had been in pursuit of these In
dians for ten days , over a territory
rough and almost impassable ; be
fore they could be brought to a stand
the route was strewn with their
stores which they had thrown away
to accommodate their flight. The
troops fought splendidly , and the
victory was complete. Some thirty
Indians were killed , and many
more were wounded , while the
casualities to the troops were only
three badly wounded. Col. Miles
was , at the date of the dispatch ,
193 miles from their base of sup
plies , and their supplies would be
exhausted about the 15th , but Gen.
Pope had ordered a supply train
sent , which will icach him before
that time.
WASHINGTON , Sept. S.
Since the declaration of General
Sheridan that no one would be al
lowed 1 to visit the Black Hills coun
try 1t 1t without authority from the In
terior Department , meaning its
authori/eu agents , that department
ii i has been in receipt of a large num
it ber of letters asking permission to
go there and for the benefit of a
large class the following letter is
published :
DEPARTMENT OF THK INTERIOR , 1
WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. j
SIR : I acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the 27th iust. , re
ferring to associations that are form
ing for the Black Hills , notwith
standing existing treaties with the
Sioux Indians , and requesting such
suggestions for the guidance and
benefit of citizens of the Territory ,
as may be considered appropriate
by the department , and in reply I
would say that the second article of
the treaty between the United States
and the different tribes of Sioux
Indians , concluded April 29th ,
1808 , agree that the fol-
lowiLg district of country , to-
wit : commencing on the east bank
of the Missouri river where the46th
parallel of north latitude intersects
the same , thence along low water
mark down said river bank to a
point where the northern line of the
state of Nebraska strikes the river ,
thence west across said river along
the northern line of Nebraska to
the 104th degree of longitude west
from Greenwich , thence north on
said meridian to the point where
the parallel of north latitude inter
cepts the same , thence due east
along said parallel to the place of
beginning ; and in addition thence
to all existing reservations on the
east bank of said river , shall bo , and
the same is set apart for the absolute
and undisturbed use and occupation
Tjf the Indians herein named , and
for suph other friendly tribes
or individual Indians as. from
time to time tbey may be will
ing. wth } the consent of the
United States , to admit among
them. The United States now sol
emnly agrees that no persons except -
cept those herein designated and
authorized &o to do , and except such
officers , agents and employes of the
government , as may Jjp authoiized
'
to enter lipon'thpIndian reservation
in the discharge of the duties en
joined by law , shall ever bepermit-
tpd to pass , settle upon or reside in
the territory dpsprjjjcd in ' thjs Arti
cle , or in-such territory'as may be
added to this reservation for the use
ofsaid Indians , and henceforth they
will , and do hereby relinquish all
plftiips or right in and to any portion
tion of the United States or 'j'errjto-
rjes , except such as. ' Is embodied
within the limits aforesaid and ex
cept as hereinafter provided.
The foregoing section prescribes
who shall be allowed in this terri
tory so set apqrt for the Indians ,
and expressy } states that none
others Shall DO permitted to pass
over , settle upon , or reside therein.
The only power to alter this provis
ion is that which made the treaty ,
and then it must bo done with tbp
'
conspntof the Indians.
What is known as the late ex
ploring expedition of Gen. Custer ,
was merely a military reconnois-
anco of the country for the purpose
of ascertaining the best location , if
in future it should become neces-
ry , to establish there a military
post. Qn the 22d of June last , in a
letter to this department , the Hon.
Secretary of War wrote on this sub
ject as follows :
"It is well kno\vn to the de
partment that at various times set
tlers in the adjacent country have
contemplated an expedition' to 'the
Black Hills , and the department
has uniformly discountenanced such
movements : but it has now almost
become a military necessity that'an
accurate knowledge" should be pos
sessed by the army as to this per
tion of our territory , and for that
purpose only is the present expedi
tion undertaken. The question of
opeijing up the country to settle
ment rests with Congress , .and until
action has been taken by that body ,
this , Department has no discretion
In the matter , but Is required a'n'd
will endeavor to prevent any viola
tion of any proviMon of the treaty
before mentioned , for reasons here
in set forth. All anplicatloua for
permission to visit th ° Black Hills
will be denied.

WASHIXGTON , Sept. S.
The following interesting report
from Commander Belknap has just
been received at the Navy Depart
ment :
United States steamship Tuscaro-
ra , Illionlionk , Ann Alaska Island ,
July 31st , 1874. Sir : I have the
honor to report the arrival of this
ship at this port on the 29th instant ,
having left Hakadadi , Japan , on the
30th of June last. The department
has doubtless received my report ,
written at Hakadadi under date of
June 2Gth , 1874 , and therefore js
informed as to the cause of delay.
In reaching the Aleutian Chain
sounding Avas resumed on the line
via Kurlle Group on the 6th instant ,
aud continued without accident or
interruption , save the lo s of three
days work , owing to bad and foggy
weather and the glory of Bussian
Bay. Tanoga Island was reached
on the evening of the IQth iust.
Five days were spent { here in mak
ing a rcconnolssance of that part of
the Bay which seemed best adapted
for the shelter of shipping and for
the landing of the proposed bubma-
rine cable , when soundings were
Continued ou to this port , Thp JCu-
riles weve skirted as Iijgh as 45 do- ,
greea north , when tlie course was )
laid to diverge from the chain to
ward Aggottan , of the Aleutian
group. " 4 he results of thp soundings
show that the water ' deepens rapid
ly the moment th'at laud is left , un
til the depth of 3,854 fathoms is
found , about 110 miles west by
south from Cape Lapatka , when the
bed of the ocean begins to rise , form
ing rjtjgps between the shores of
Kamstcliatka and Aleutians , the
highest part of which is 117
fathoms belqw the surface. The
centre of the ridge is due south of
the Command ! Islands , and these
Islands may be thp out-eropplngs
of this submarine elevation. Eight
miles east by south from the island
ot Aggotian the great and unlocked
for depth of 4.037 fathoms was
found. Tjilrty ami twenty-seven
miles on each side of that deep cast
the lead indicated 2,463 fathoms
only. The ocean bed along the
whoe ] * routp is yory irregular somuch
of It lying alotig the poast of
volcano formations , tnough with
the exception of a few cases water
cannot be considered as beipg very
deep , The bark Caynp sails for
San Francisco soon , so that It will
be impossible for me to make a more
extended report at this time , accom
panied by proper papers. 1 must
therefore l > eg jnjlulgpnpp of thp dp-
partment until a" more complete
and satisfactory report can be made.
As soon as the coal sent here for the
ship is taken on board , I shal } put
to sea agajn , l ut propose to fun on
a line south of JhLs chain as far
back as Tanaga before proceeding to
finish up the line t'o a point to the
eastward , at which the soundings
werediseontinued last fall. I forward
heretofore a profile chart of the
ocean be J as determined by sound
ing the journal of sounding and the
track chart as far as Tnqogr , . It In
proper fo eay , howevpr , that s'ome
of the Islands on the tracl ? chart
are omitted , and that the route as
delineated does not show ii fiorae
portions its relative position with
the land. The health of the officers
and crew continue good. / " a

PHILADELPHIA , Sept. 8.
No rain has fallen in this neighj
borhood since the severe storm of
August 9th , and the draught has
caused a scarcity of water in the
Schuylkill. The chief engineer of
the water departmer t has issued a
circular requesting economy on the
part ot the citizens in the use of
water. The fountains have been
stopped and licenses for water carts
to sprinkle the streets have been
revoked. No fire plugs are opened
except in case of fire.

The Boston newspapers comment
favorably on the visit of the City of
Peking. One journal yesterday af
ternoon says the magnificent pro
duct of our ship yards is more wel
come from its signalizing the disap
pearance of the paralysis which has
so long stood on American shipbuild
ing , now to bn restored to the lead
ership of the world. The people of
Boston are sufficiently interested in
her and her mission , to warmly
welcome her visit to our port.
Should the weather prove favora
ble , it is expected that the return
trip of the Peking , which begins
early this morning , will be devoted
to the furthar test of the vessel's
speed.
WASHINGTON , Septembers.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
Instructed the solicitor for the treas
ury to turn over all evidence taken
by him In his investigation of the
connection of certain oilicers of the
detective force with the Harrington
safe burglary , to the department of
justice , to be u ed i" > the prosecution
of the case in this district. Colonel
Whitely , chief of the detective force
of the treasury department , has
tendered his resignation to the Sec
retary of the Treasury , and it has
been accepted. This does not relieve
Col. Whitely from the action of the
department of justice , in case it is
shown in the evidence taken by So
licitor Wilson , that Whitely \\as in
any way connected with the Har
rington safe burglary.
SALT LAKE , Sept S.
Thus far the threatened collision
between the Mormons and the Gen
tiles of Toole county has been pre
vented , mainly through the instru
mentality of United States officials.
Yesterday afternoon the Tribune
had received the following telegram
from its regular correspondent at
Toole City : United States Marshal
Maxwell made a demand on a Mor
mon Bishop , Judge Rowbcrry , this
morning , to vacate his office and
turn it over to Judge Brown , but the
Bishop refused , and the defunct
County Court met and transacted
some business and adjourned tomeet
Monday next. The buildings on
each side of the Court House were
filled with armed Mormons , with
shot guns and pistols , and in the
rear of the Court House armed men
weie also secreted. Everything ,
however , is now quiet , and Marshal
Maxwell Is proceeding cautiously.
WASHINGTON , Sept. S.
Senator Robertson , of South Car
olina , differs with Patterson regard
ing the southern troubles. He con
siders them as insignificant , and
says that they should be left to those
engaged in them and not be brought
before the public. The negroes are
given to credulity and exaggeration ,
and on first representation believe
that Ku Kluxers and Whitp
Leaguers are flooding the country.
Robertson is a radical Republican ,
and favors the civlj rights bill.
