PINE UIPOE AGENCY , Dal : . , ( via Kush- vlllo , Nob. , ) Juno 25. [ Special Telegram to Tun BEE. ] After councillng among them selves for the past thrco days the Indians had n general council In the afternoon , to which they Invited the commission. American Horse , No Flesh , High Wolf , and Swords , captain of police , were the principal speak ers. American Horse opened the council by n number of questions to the commission , In which ho said : "My friends , I don't under stand tome things in this bill. I wish you to toll us In plain words about them , so wo can understand how long will the 53,000,000 , de posited to our credit bear interest before the principal Is to bo distributed 1" "It Is to remain fifty ycnrs , nnd the bill provides that In addition to the 10 per cent the Great Father may spend 10 per cent of the principal to purchase goods for the Indians after a tlmo. This Is to bo spent In buying teams , implements nnd things to allow you to po on farming. " "Will every ono have equal rights , or will there bo any spccllled amount for each to ro- cclvu ? " "Tho onllro amount will bo divided by the whole pcoplo in lifty years. " "Aftor all our lands are surveyed and each Indian has taken his land in severally , will the balnnco belong to us in common or will other Indians own the surplus ! " "Tho surplus will bo owned by all Indians on the reservation in common as it is now owned-by you hore. " r "I ask the question for the reason that there are two classes of Santccs , and they may bo brousht in hero aud given our laud. Wo owe them .nothing and they Imvo no right here. They have sold their land and have no right lo ours. Will they bo cu- tltlqd to pay ! " "Tho Santcos have no right to your land , but they Imvo a share in the permanent fund. They must take their allotment in Nebraska in their present reservation. " American Horse then repeated tlmt the Santccs had no rights here , but us they had traded their land and become.poor the Great Father Imd taken pity on them. Ho then ttskcd the commission to strongly recom mend that their educated children und half breeds be given the places on Iho agency which dmw a oaiary , and that anyone ono incorporated in tlio tribe bo allowed to trade nnd not let the rich men como here mid rob us. "Tho traders and others furnish everything und wo have no market , so wo sometimes grow discouraged. When wo take our land in severally wo can raise everything to supply the agency. Will the government give us n market to sell our goods ! " He was Informed that the bill pledged In the nllnlluicut law to assist in finding n market for their crops , and there was no reason why the grain and beef should not bo raised hero and sold to the government. Several complaints were then made about purchiislng hay from white men instead of Indians , and the Inferior beef received. The annuities and the bad condition of the clothes Bent them were so put together that it made it almost Impossible to wear them. "Tlio farmers sent hero ( lo not know their duties , und it seems as if some of them had never seen a plow , and if wo complain they ill-trr.-at us. Wo want them taken away and the places given to our prac tical halfbrccd farmer , who can teach us how to farm right. I believe the bill is right and will start us on thereat roatto prosperity , but there are other chiefs above me , and I want them to sign the llrst , BO I will not belittle them by signing before thonr. " The commission promised to recommend the changes asked fer. The speeches of High Wolf mid Sword were made in Indian L and were able nnd logical from an Indian standpoint. Afraid of Bear addressed the commission nt length , saying there was ono road to prosperity and another to misery. Ho favored the bill , which was thu prosperous road , but was afraid it might turn into the road to misery if the promises now made were like these of the past , particularly of 1S70. General Crook It was no bill by congress , but simply an agreement , In which could be Incorporated things tlio signers could not understand , But now wo como with bill that all you pcoplo can read. I liven been with the Indians all my life , and no one knows better than I the wrongs they ha c . had to suffer , and 1 do not blame you for youi distrust in the past. But this bill you can all * ' read and fully understand. After the council adjourned a Inrcro.num ber went to the ngent's office and signed the bill , It now having over llvo hundred signa ture ! , , and they are being slowly , butstcadilj nddcd. The kaleidoscopic chuiigo in the Indian nature turo was fully illustrated to-day. Two dim tifeO Young-Muu-Afraid-of-HIs-Horsfs was m full sympathy with the bill. To-day h ( states emphatically that ho will nol sign. Another change may comi If as soon. A big Omaha dance will occur thi ! i evening , as the commission is still Issunif l.i extra rations , which , If not done , it would bi impossible to retain them at the agency. liONOISNECIUiUmsPLiBASISD.

The death of Mrs. Hayes was received with feelings of genuine sorrow nnd regret by the older employes of the while house , to whom she was endeared by foad recollections of her kindness to them while she was mistress of the white house. Ono of the older door-keepers in speaking of her suid : "Mrs. Hayes was a good , kind woman If ever there was one. Everyone ' about the whlto house liked 'and loved her. She seemed to take notice of all these around her nnd she would often stop us to muko Inquiries about how wo were getting along. I will always re member Mra. Hayes' last reception. I never saw such crowds. Women pressed In and would hardly move when they passed through the Hues , pleading for only ono more look. Wo had to close the doors when there were lots of people outside , and many went homo disappointed because they could not see her. " o WANAMAUBa EXPLAINS" ; Why There Are So Many Postofflco NEW Yor.K , June 25. . The Mail and Ex press to-night prints an interview witn Post master General Wannamaker. The follow ing is a report of it : "Why are removals made so rapidly ! " "Thoy are not made rapidly. The daily changes going on in n city of 29,000 inlmb- itanls are many , and if our postmasters were all put together in n city they would make a city of that size. There would bo deaths and resignations , necessary removals and expirations of terms that would natur- allv roqulro many now appointments every week. " "But there is great deal of criticism be cause of the removals. " "Yes , it always lias been so , and always will bo so , until it becomes the custom of the government to publish the actual reasons for Ihoso changes. In many Instances they are upon inspectors' reports , which , if published , would destroy the future man and leave u shadow upon his family. There has" often been much criticism , simply because politics wore thought to bo involved , when the solo cause of removal had been drunkenness , neglect of duty and clearly proved unlltness 10 hold the important office of postmaster. To allow n postmasler to servo out hls term who does not appear at his office more than once in several weeks , or who sits nt his bus iness several squares away and manages the iioslonlco wilh women and boys , has no merit in It to win the approval of any community. It would scum to bo for the good of the coun try if these people would resign itstcad of waiting to have complaints lodged against them , und them bo removed by ihe depart ment. The people who draw pay from the government ought to bo compelled to give faithful service , or resign , and if they do noitchr , the department will recommend their removal no mailer how much criticism and misapprehensions of fact may bo made.

AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE , Between Harrison , Blaine and Com- mlsBlonor PholpB. BUT NOTHING WAS GIVEN OUT. The Snntonn Agreement , However , Snlil to Uo SnllaCnotory to All i'nrllcs Concerned Other Washington No\V3. ' WASHINGTON HUIIKAU , Tun OMAHA Hun , ) 51 FouimiUNTit STIIEUT , . r WASHINGTON , D. C. , Juno : 25. ) There was n very important conference nt , ho whlto housoto-day. The conferees were . 'resident Harrison , Secretary Lilalno nnd Commissioner Phclps. The hitter bore with ilm a little yellow leather bag , of which ho was very careful. Ho has had that little ro- ccptaclo constantly nt his Rldo during the Mist ten days , and has not permitted any one .o touch or to assist him in caring for It. Its contents was a copy of the agreement signed jy the commissioners of the United States , jcrmany and England at the conference re cently closed In Berlin. Ho came directly to Washington after landing iu Now York yesterday , and brought the treaty to the ( resident with ns little delay as possible. Die conference lasted some time , nnd the [ irovislons of the treaty were afterwards considered in cabinet meeting , but no ono who was present at the conference is dls- > osed to give any Information upon the subject. Commissioner Pholtis was never noted for his desire to enlighten the general imbllu through the medium of the press , and ins European trip has not changed him In the least in this respect. Ho was as aaitablo and suave as over , but positively declined to give the least information or to express the faintest opinion upon the subject of the busi ness which took him nnd his conferees to Europe. The only thing ho would say In reference to the matler was that In his opin ion the treaty is satisfactory to all parties. Ho was impressed with the courtesy of the conference in conducting the negotiations In English , and said it was the lirst time the French langgago had been ignored in a diplo matic conference. Very general satisfac tion is expressed on all sides with the result of the Samoun conference , nnd no doubt is entertained anywhere that the treaty will bo ratillod promptly after its submission to the senate.

The Pennsylvania 'railroad has'for many years been in the habit of giving nn excur sion to the correspondents and local newspa per men of Washington , and last Friday they were laken to Cresson Springs , at the summit of the Alleghcnies , near Altoonn , and to Johnstown , which is a few miles beyond the Mountain house at Crcssouwhich stands in ono of the most beautiful spots in the whole world. It was given up entirely to the correspondents uhd their families from Friday until Monday , for ii was not open to the public unlil Iho following day. Every creature comfort was provided for in a most lavish manner , und if the reporters had been princes they could " not have been entertained in more truly "royal stylo. Although the object of the trip was merely to give the boys a few days of rest and recreation in the mountains , the most interesting part of the trie was a visit to the appalling ruins at Johnstown , which was made on Saturday under the guidance of Mr. George W. Hoyd , the assistant passenger agent of the Penn sylvania company , and other officers of Iho road. The train was run so as to give the best possible view of the scene of desolation , and although Tin : 13m : has published column after column of the most graphic and truth ful description , no pen could frame a com plete picture of the disaster , nnd Iho human mind can not possibly realize Ibo oxlent of tlio devastalion when described by another. The eye nt once can comprehend the situa tion there , for the Imagination ot a Jules Verne or a Hidcr Haggard would find it im possible to invent anything approaching it , and the energy of the Pennsylvania railroad company in repairing the damage is about as marvelous as the disaster itself , for within forty-eight hours after the dam bad broken aad the Hood had swept away 520,000,000 worth of property , the company baa 10,000 men nt work repairing the damage. All the skilled workmen nnd carpenters upon the Pennsyl vania system were at once carried on special trains to the sccnn , and engineers nnd work men from other lines were employed and sent forward as rapidly ns possible. All the bridge timber in eastern Pennsylvania was purchased by telegraph and shipped nt once to the nearest available point , and within nine days after the Hood broke trains were running regularly. There never was such rapid and extensive bridge building in the world. Hridges live and seven hundred feet long were constructed in a few days , gangs of working men being engaged constantly through the twenty-four hours. The mar velous energy and wonderful skill shown in this rcstoraiion has no parallel In history. A NOTAIir.B linUNION.

Bressler nnd D. C. Patterson , was do- elded to-day In. favor of the defendants by Judge Powers , of the district court , who sus tained the aomurror to the petition. The case has attracted u great dc.il ot attention throughout the state , both on account of the largo sum involved , and the fact that It would settle the question of the liability of a county treasurer for Iho profits or interest ho may 'receive from the profit or in vestment of public funds. Brassier was formerly treas urer of Wayne county , and Patterson was bis partner in business , and a portion of the time assisted him In the oQlcc. Last fall a resolution was introduced to the county com missioners , nnd by them passed , empowering certain attorneys of Wayne und Omaha to tnko such action ns they saw flt to recover property or money hold in trust for \Vayno county. By the terms of the resolution the county was bound to pay prelimin ary expenses and was to tret one-half of what was recovered. Under this authority suit was begun In the district court against Bressler and Patterson for the recovery of $ -55,000 , which , It w.is alleged , they had made out of the Investment of county money during Brcsslor's ' term of ofllcif. In render ing Ills decision , which had been carefully written out nt length , Judge Powers ro- vlowed the nuthorilics presonlou on bolh sides , for though tlio question nt issue was u new ono in the litigation of this state u few cases Involving the anmo principles were lo * bo found. The decision was , in effect , that n county treasurer is simply a debtor to the county for the money that comes Into lis hands oflloially , and that ho is liable abso lutely for It on his oftlcial bond ; that the character of agcul.or the Irustee.on which the ory the case was brought , does not attach to the county treasurer , and that the county can not suonorrecoverforauyprolltsho may have made by the iu vestment of the funds. So far as the county is concerned the de cision ends the ease , as the county attorney has advised the commissioners that there is no foundation for the suit In law or equity , and it will bo ordered dismissed.
