[ Special Telegram to TUB Bnnul This has been the most successful council yet had with these people , nnd nt the same tlmo the most satisfactory , an It has developed ono of the most talented lawyers In the tribe , a man whoso shrewdness is a match for the ordinary white lawyer. H also revealed the further fact of the perfect nature of the three pa [ ts of the commission , which are ns perfectly fitted together for this work ns the metals In nn electric belt. All are necessary. This afternoon , nt the request of American Horse , the commission mot the Indians In council nnd conducted nn examination Into the merits of the present bill. After American Horse had asked some questions in relation to the Issue of oxen Instead of horses , ns re quested by them while In Washington re cently , and mentioned the map which showed the reservation colored in dark red , saying bo had lain awake many nights thinking about this matter , but still could not under stand It , Major Wnrnor addressed the coun cil firing somewhat of humor at them. Ho nlso explained the little box-shaped piece , which shows on the map as land belonging P to Nebraska , but which was included in the reservation to prevent the white men selling I whisky to the Indians. This brought out the question of lines , which again and again came up in the discussion. When Major Warner attempted nn explanation nation of this matter American Ilorso coolly informed htm bo though ho knew nothing at all nbout the matter. Ho asked General Creole what ho know about the matter , re ccivlng a reply that the ironcrnl know path- ing. The general further Informed them that ho had nsiccd the secretary of the interior to have the line surveyed , and when the line Is thus surveyed It will bo permanent. When the general spoke of surveying with nn in strument working by the stars American Horaa said ho guessed the stnrs jumped nbout a great deal when some lines wcro run. The misunderstanding about the line arises from the old agreement made at the tlmo of the treaty of 1808 , whereby the Indians were allowed hunting privileges south to the He- publican river , though the reservation line was then fixed as far north ns the Nebraska line. This right to hunt was relinquished later for $23,000 , ns mentioned by Hed Cloud the other day. American Horse spoke of the pleasures of meeting with friends nnd referred'to ' the adoption of Governor Foster into the tribe by the name of "Youug-Mnn-Proud-of-IIIs- Tail , and hoped ho would not soon desert them. Ho also took consideration of Major Warner , and informed him that there wcro many line horses here and boaatiful women , who would bo happy to ride out with him aim entertain him , so ho hoped they would bo in no hurry to leave soon , but would remain long enough to have this matter thoroughly discussed. Ho also asked them to telegraph to tbo great father and ask him to find some one who know about the line of the reserva tion. tion.This This was explained as unnecessary , to which American Horse said , ho was glad to know this commission wcro honest. When ho had asked the other commissioners to telegraph to the great father , they hud said : 'Yes I yes I" nnd then gouo away into a room and written out a dispatch which they brought bacit saying : "Thoro is what the great father says ; now do not bo afraid of anything here , for nothing shall mar the peace of this hour , was his assurance. " Governor Foster also spoke to them at length concerning thcir requests.nndpromis ing to use his influence to have them granted by the great father and also explained the conditions under which they took the signa tures of tlio squaw-men nnd half-breeds. The council took on the nature of a conversation , each ono speaking briefly , American Ilorso asking questions and making statements , quaintly Illustrated by natures own references , and the com' mission each taking turns answering qucs tions , Tito most perfect harmony existed throughout the proceedings , which only wcro adjourned when the gathering shades of evening made It necessary. TiiC disposition displayed In the meeting to know uU"a"o"CUt the matter Is n favorubis symptom , and a breakdown is looked for nbout Friday or Saturday ; when this comes tbo wok will soon be completed hero. Tlio Ilocnlcltrant Kodalcln. PINE Union , ( via Uushvillo ) Juno 20 , [ Special Telegram to Tun BEE. ! This morn Ing an opportunity was given these who so desired , to sign the rolls , and a few availed themselves of the opportunity thus offered them , but nothing compared to the rush at Rosebud on the second day of signing , The tlmo Is not yet quito up , and further explanaj tions are necessary. It will bo remembered that at Rosebud number of half-breeds wcro employed o g complete explanations and analysis of the bill nt private councils of the In dians. Here this has been largely lacking. With n view to this General Crook held a council with the white men and half-breeds , nt which means and measures were discussed and plans laid for officiant work among the Indians who are now In doubt. Red Cloud asked for n council with General - oral Crooic , from which ho desired oven the official stenographer bhould be excluded. This loft the corrcsnondenta on the fen en to looIc with longing eyes across the grcon , where an Immense concourse was in council with the general. At this council Red Cloud wcs the principal speaker. Ho persisted In in misinterpreting the treaty of 18CS , nnd said the government had refused to do as it bad agreed. Ho did not want anything to do with the commission. ' Continuing , ho grow very angry nud impertinent , ordering nil these who came with this commission to Icuva the reservation , and at once , too , General Crook called u halt nt this juncture nnd told Red Cloud some of the past parts of tils history with which ho was familiar. Ho also mentioned why ho issued the order to seize all of the Indian ponies and leave them afoot , because Rod Cloud would not lUtcn to reason , but declared his Intention of going on the warpath. The general also gava ether Instances of the duplicity of Rod Cloud-Jn the past transactions ho had with Mm , ana expressed his obvious desire In this case to obtain all the rewards. The council broke up by n suggestion of General Crook that these who desired should go to the agent's ofllco and sign , and others who were opposed should so state. This led to n regular stampede- Red Cloud's , Big Road's and Little Wounds' bands passing through the agent's oflicu in single tile to the number ot nearly four hundred , each ono do- during hlmuojf opposed to signing. A notable exception to the action of these Sioux is that of tlio Choyunncs , who held n council in the afternoon and decided to sign in a body. Tbcso Indians lira a much braver and moro Industrious cl.iss than the Sioux , General Crook gives them hlph prniso as soldiers and lighters and promises to glvo them ull the assistance In his power to accomplish the desire of their hearts tel l > o united on ono icsorvntlon with their people , who nro now , most of them , on the Tonuuo River reservation in Montana.

"Thoro is no use trying to obscure the main question , " said ho , to-day ; the controversy was on cattle nnd livestock of all kinds.

For tbo week following the decision , and when it was supposed to bo in full force and effect , the St. Panl hauled 128 curs.

A PEW WOBD3 BY CI.AllKSOK. To a caller who made some Inquiries of him , First Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson to-day said , in a few words , what ought to open the eyes of his mugwumpiau critics. "It should bo remembered , " said ho. "that if President Cleveland had not appointed democrats in place of republicans there would bo very few democrats for the present administration to remove , in order to muko room for the republicans now being un pointed. There is another thing which is not generally known , and that is that nearly all the democratic postmasters who are now being removed are losing their places on the reports of inspectors upon the conduct of their ofllces. nnd in ulmost every instance the inspector who makes the report is a demo crat , for the very good reason that wo have very few republican inspectors to make reports. " Mr. Clarkson added that the men who are now going out have almost invariably served four years , and it seemed that the people , when they had had anything to say lately , had voted that four years was about the proper time for a federal oflleial to bold olllco. A FUETTY SCHEME "BUSTED. " It was reported at the postoftlco depart ment , to-day , that the action of the president in signiner the amendment to the civil service rules , which permits the reinstatement of ex- uniou soldiers and sailors who have been dis charged from the civil service , without ex amination , will result in the reappointment of fifteen or twenty postoftico inspectors wno were removed during the last administra tion. Chief Postoftlco Inspector Ruthbono said , to-day , that the service contains at present about ono hundred and forty demo crats to ton republicans. It will bo remem bered that the last administration applied the civil service rules to this branch of the government soon after nearly every republi can had been turned out. The design of this was , without doubt , to placate the mug wumps nnd prevent the return of disehargod republicans. The scheme was n very pretty ono , and if it had been allowed to stand there would have been precious few republicans on the force of inspectors until the present 140 democratic incumbents re sign or die. The clmiigo in tbo rules insures the appointment of some men at least whoso army records are as honorable as their civil records. It wilt result also in the appoint ment of men who are familiar with the duties of the positions which they will bo called upon to perform. The change will also huvo a decided effect in the appointment of clerks In the railway mall service and will prob ably remove the neccssitv for calling upon the commission for certified lists for some tlmo to come. It is estimated that it makes eligible for reappointment in this service be tween two and tlirco hundred ex-soldIcra who were dismissed solely because they were republicans. As the change Is dis cussed it meets with moro and moro ap- nroval , and it is only regretted that the ac tion was not taken sooner. IOW POSTMASTER.

To the press of America ; Invtowot the fact that the principles of this order nnd the objects of IU existence have been Incorrectly presented , and inasmuch as nn Incident con- icctcd with tlio presidential reception has jccn misrepresented , ihls national camp re quests n fair and Impartial consideration of our declaration of principles. Article 1. Next to love for the Creator , wo uollcvo patriotism is the highest nnd noblest affection of the human soul. Wo believe the institutions of no country are safe without patriotism , and that none will so Jealously 'iiard nnd protect them as those who nro born and raised under tholr influence. Wo believe wo have the best form of govern ment for the masses on the face of the earth. Article 2. For the welfare , prosperity nnd liberty of all American citizens nnd their de scendants , wo desire to protect our form of government , preserve It intact from the the influence of any foreign power by discrimi nating sentiments of loyalty and patriotism , nnd by establishing a fraternal feeling of de votion to our country amongst nil Americans. Wo hope to make It lufi > osslblo for any one to live under the protection of the "stars nnd stripes" who does not , honor < "and revere it , nnd who would not bo willing to glvo up his Ufa In defense of the principles of freedom and justice which it represents. Article a. Wo desire to sustain the purity of the ballot , and to have it intelligently nnd legitimately used. Article 4. Wo bollovo our system of frco public- schools is tbo bulwark of our liberty , and wo insist that they bo kept absolutely frco from all ecclesiastical and sectarian in fluences , nnd under the influence of local secular ofllcers elected by thn people. Article 5.Vo cordially welcome all these foreigners who como to tills country with the honest desire of becoming loyal Ameri can citizens , and who sincerely disavow nny and all allegiance to foreign potentates and governments , and who honor and revere our national flag. Article 0. Wo arc opposed to the occu pancy of nny part of our land by foreign speculators who do not wish to become cit izens , and wo bollovo all resources and priv ileges of this country should bo reserved for the exclusive use of its citizens , either native or naturalized. Article 7. Wo are in favor of crushing out those which are already hero , and of taking measures which will prohibit from entrance Into our parts in the future1 of that foreign clement which comes licrq to advocate com munism nnd nihilism ; and which does not identify itself with our country , and does not respect our flag. Article 8. Wo invite allnatlvoborn citizens who believe in their countVy and its institu tions , and who desire to nerpotuato free gov ernment , nnd who wish to' encourage proper feeling among Americans"to the end that wo may exalt our country , to join with us in this , our work of fellowship and love. Wo call the especial attention of these reporters who have styled us ns "Jfribw nothings" nnd "anti-Catholics , " to article 5 , and quote from our official expose , "Wo have no quarrel with nny man on account of satlonulity or relig ion , but wo wish to 'ni orfl equa" " justice to all American citi/ens. " The article from th t'address of our na tional president , so eatchsively-quoted , re quires no apology , and this order in national convention assembled unhesitatingly declares there is no room In this' republican govern ment for nny organization , under , whatsoever name , which advocates nnd practices murder and assassination , nnd wo believe every in telligent citizen , native or foreign born , who' has read the evidence presented to the core ner's jury , of Chicago , relative to thoCronln murder , lias felt this to bo true and that their existence Is a constant menace to our gov ernment. The badge Incident , so sensation ally characterized ns n "Burchardism , " is a misrepresentation. The reception , by the prcsiednt , was cordial and gratifying to the members of this order.

" She then parted the curtain peered out , dodging back immediately , and again peeped , when a pistol flushed in her face and she dropped back dead , without a word. The assassin then turned his tiring on Miss Riggs , who was sitting in the oppo site corner of the room , and fired four shots at her without doing any damage. This ended the firing , and as ono of Clark's horses is gone , it is supposed the murderer took it and fled. As soon us the firing ceased Clark wont to the window and commenced to cry "Murdcrl" with all his might , in hopes of arousing some of his neighbors. None came , however , until daylight , when Henry Duvall was passing , and hearing his cries , went to investigate , finding Mrs. Clark deaden on the floor nnd Mr. Clark very badly wounded , the bullet striking a rib on the loft side , and passing througn the lower part of the lung , lodged in the buck. Duvall at once spread the alarm and posses were sent out in all directions to hnnt for the murderer. Tel egrams were sent all over the country. There was nothing heard from him until about 3 o'clock this afternoon , when a telegram was received from Erlckson , Wheeler county , saying that atninn answering the description clven had passed through there about an hour before they received the telegram from hero. The evidence against Foley is purely circumstan tial , but every ono seems to fool certain that he committed the deed , as ho had inudo nu merous throats to kill them all.

Ho was riding a sorrel horso. The coroner adjourned the inquest until to-moriownt8 o'clock a. in. , when now evi dence will bo taken. On R Charge of Murder. GUESHAM , Neb. , Juno CO.

"Tnat by the laws of Iowa , a resident of Nebraska Is not entitled to the exemption from attachments and garnishment granted to heads of families , by the laws of Nebraska , and that in spite of the fact that the lallroad company made a showing before the court that Walters was the head of a family , his wages wcro garnished and tbo company paid it. , Walters uow bilngs suit to recover from O'Connor the amount of the claim and costs , amounting to I-37.00. This Iowa garnishment is an old and much used tnotbod of ovuaing the Nebraska law , exempting from aUacr.- mcnt nnd garnishment the property of the head of n family to n specified amount.

Court-iunrtl.illnc n Scoundrel. CitifAoo , Juno 20. [ Special Telegram to THE BKB. ] Lo Caron , the British spy , was to-nlghrtrled by his comrades In Winflelil Hancock Post , No. SCO , G. A. H. , and sum marily dismissed from the Grand Army of the Republic. The charges against him were that ho wni untvorthvof being n comrade of tlio ether members , nnd the trial was brought about by his testimony given in the Pnrnoll case. Added to this is a story of peculiar interest ns to his identification by the members of the wst , nnd which points to the fact Unit La Caron not only spent his tlmo in America In ictlng as a spy against the Irish revolution ists , but also joined the United Slates army , and the O. A. R. for the purpose of giving information to the British government , About two years ago nn Irishman of this city brought Lo Caron to Lieutenant of Do- : cctivos George Hulntzmnn , nnd introduced .ho two ; Lo Caron had joined Post COO some .lino . before. Ilemtzmmi.wlio was major of tha 2lghty-second regiment , Illinois volunteers , ins great influence iu Grand Army circlca nnd is also a member of Post 500. At the tlmo of the Introduction , Major Heiutzmim mid no attention to Lo Caron , and the mat- .or passed out ot his mind. The dtiy after Lo Caron gave his testimony in the Parnell nqulry , the Irishman c.uno to Major Hcmtz- man in a most excited frame of mind. Ho asked the major if he remembered Lo Caron , to whom ho introduced him , The major re- illed that ho did not. The Irishman then de nounced Lo Caron In most vigorous terms mil declared that If ho had known the In former's true chat actor ho would never have ntroducod him or have boon seen with aim in Grand Army circles. It happened Lhat in a room adjoining that where the con versation took place was the Hov. Father Dunne , of Joltet , Will Cowl and a brother of Dr. Dunn , formerly city physician of Chi cago. When the Irishman left the major iskod Father Dunne what he thought of that yarn. The latter said : "It Is true , every word of it. Ho is the same man who baa xmfcssed to being an English spy. Ho and ills family are my parishioners. " An Investigation was immediately started. Lo Caron's papers , on which ho got into the post , wore examined. It was found that ho was a private in the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Infantry during the war and rose to the rank er lieutenant in n colored infantry icgiuient. His history in Braidwood , Will county. 111. , where ho kept a drug store , WHS looked into. [ t was found that ho simply noted as n soy on the actions of the miners in that section , , who wcro members of tbo I. It. B. Then his Chicago record was looked up , and Lhe inference was made that his object 'Iu , joining the G. A , It. was to spy into the ue- crets of that order , nnd especially to look after the Irish members of it. When these facts wcro learned Father Dunne procured u photograph of Lo Caron , This was exhibited to all tlio members of the post. It was immediately recognized. A. notice of the intended proceedings was sent to Lo C.iron , but no reply has boon recoived. A court martial was ordered. The court. mot to-night , and after duly considering the ovideiico , Le Caron , alias Beach , was dis missed in disgrace. Ho has u chauco to ap peal to James S.
