The Roneial has been out of the state so
much that hn hasn't kept Informed on all

Deplorable CoiidlUon or the IndlntiH

Si. PAUL , Minn. , Sept. 20. Messrs.
Wuuhtnnd Lnrrabee , of Indiana , thoeomnils-
sion which has been airnncing ticatles with
the Indians of northern Minnesota , nro in
the city foi n fexv diys. In ndditlon to the
facts already published nbout the treaties
made they repoit the most determined effort
on the part of the men Interested in the sale
ot xx bisk } to the Indians to piejudlco them
agmist Iho commission. Thu theory Is that ,
so long ns the Indians cnn bo kept outside
theii leseivations and open lo the advances
of the whites , they can bo led lo part with the
money they make from the sale of rice and
blucbeilies for whlskv. The Indians o the
H 'Cell Lake rcscrvatio'ns linvo sold this sea
son 810,000 worth of berries , and the commis
sioners st ite that a large part of tlds eoes
to buy whisky , At White Oak
Point the Indians were found
in a most deplorable condition. In some In
stances they had becn no completely demor-
nli/ed and so entirely robbed ot the means
of siibsistnnce that tfioy xxould cat the dead
bodies ot diseas.'d horses. The men vxeie in
a rex oiling condition and seemingly lost to
nil moral sense , while the women were made
nitlcles of meichaiidise. The last scene that
the coaimission xvituesscd as they pulled
out to theii eauoes Iroju White Oak Point
\ as touching ns xvell.is tenIble. Upon the
bink of the lake in the midst of n chilling
rain sat a poor Indian woman adding hei
tcais to those thnt nature seemed shedding.
Her husband had jusStMild one child , n young
gill not moro than hfteon } ears ot nge , to
some lumber men for n sick of Ilour.
It is siifl by the commissioner }
that there s nro many instances
where pills nro as 6qd as sold to whilc.meu.
and after being robbed 9 ! all they have most
doarnre tiunetj adrift with bibus In their
arms and anothorglil taken In their places.
The commission will visit the Millo Lacs
leseivation and will co thence to Fond .dii
Lac , Boise Fort nnd Grand Portaco to com
plete the work in Minnesota. They will , If
not to late , also go to IJnkotn. stopping nt
Fort Uerthold nnd from there to Montana ,
then to Washington Tenltory , Oregon and
Idaho.
