XUBBnB.I The Sioux commission arrived
hero this morning. There nro about thrco
hundred and ton males of nn ago qualified to
vote at this agency. Owing to the intense
heat , the council did not begin yesterday
until 7 p. m. Major Anderson Introduced
the commission , asking for thorn the same
consideration which they expected them-
solves. Ho called attention to the bill which
was presented' their notion , und said it
was practically what they asked for In
Washington. Ho satu their vast reservation
now did them no good , because the stock or
Implements with which to cultivate it the
Indians have not got , nud that under the
the provisions of the present bill the articles
necessary to make them farmers would bo
furnished.
Governor Foster said : "Wo como to you
with an act of congress nnd nsk you to ratify
It. The Sioux : nation has a largo ninount of
land , extending 100 miles along the Missouri ,
much moro than you can overuse. . The gov
ernment wishes to buy this Btirplus land and
to divide the balance into n separata rcsorva-
vatlon. In asking ynu to accept this bill wo
want you to also accept the civilization of
the white man , to tnko land In severalty , to
become nolf-supportlng citizens. Wo want
you to educate your cnlldrcn , and this bill
makes liberal provisions to that end. The
Great Spirit made both the white nnd red
men. That the whlto men nro now so prosperous -
porous Is duo to their civilization , which it
is the purpose of this bill to foster.
South Dakota will soon become a state. The
Sioux reservation lies between the eastern
and western portions of the state. On the
cast It is settled up the Missouri river , nnd
the city of Chamberlain lies in sight on the
west. The Black Hills country Is being set
tled up to your line. You must know that in
some way these white people must got
through this barrier. " Ho then explained
tho/Jrovlslons of the bill relating to the
prices to bo paid for the land. Ho said :
"Last year a commission presented nn act
of congress which you declined to ratify.
My Judgment is that by that bill bill you did
not got us much ns your land is worth. By
the present bill congress gives you moro
than its value. It is our duty to toll you that
you must not expect congress to
bo morn liberal than it has brcn ,
nnd that unless you accept this
proposition In some way , whether you
ugrco or not , the people of Dakota will make
a iiassago through your land. I say this as
a friend because I see what Is coming. Now ,
I understand that this law permits every ono
of you over eighteen years to voto. It Is a
question for each ono of ynu , and not for
your chiefs alono" to consider , nnd wo hope
that by to-morrow you will bo able to decide.
1 am glad to know that last j ear the B rules
were favorable. Wo hooc that you will bo
favorable now , as the bill Is u much better
ono. "
Major Warner then carefully explained
the difference between the present bill nnd
that of lust year. He in n clear nnd effective - '
ivo manner pqintod oat the pi o visions with
reference to allotments of land , and
told them that each bead of
a family would got 820 ncroo of farming
land. Ho then said : "If you sell this luiul
Under the present bill nil that any white man
bun buy for himself nnd family is 100 acres ,
nnd ho must Hvo on it flvo years nnd culti
vate part of it nnd then pay $1.23 per acre.
1 live in a btato where the whites live by
farming , and 100 acres of land is a big farm
for one man to own. You can see how much
bettor the Great Father docs for you than lor
the whlto man. In this Brulo reservation
that Is set aside for you and your children
forever thcro are -U2 acres of land for every
man , woman and child upon the reservation.
It is the wish of the Great Father that
your daughters may bo educated to
teach your schools ; that your sons
shall bo your farmers , your blacksmiths ,
your wngonmakors , your shoemakers.
You can no moro live on barnm hinds than
on the wind Hint blows. You can't cultivate
or plow the land with your fingers. You can
T\ot \ build your house. The Great Father
knows you have moro land'than you need
nud offers to buy your surplus and give for
it money with which to secure the imple
ments , teams and seed necessary to nnprovo
it. Wo hope , my friends , that the day will
soon como when you shall enjoy nil of the
benefits of the white men und civilization.
and wo believe that If you iwccpt this bill
tha tlmo will como much sooner tluui it you
reject it. I nsk you to think of it and net in
cuch a way as will bo for the greatest good
for yourbolvcs nnd your families. "
At the conclusion of Major Warnoi's re
marks , General Crook made the shortest
speech thus far made by Iho commission , as
follows : "My friends , wo will issue flvo
> Beeves as soon as all the man u'ot In to
morrow , and wo want nil of you to gat in
early , then you will get the ocef puijy. All
of you who want to sign can do so at tbu
agent's onice. That Is nil. "
It Is needless to ndd that thcno remarks
were received with the greatest npplausu.
There will bo another council this nftoruoon.
From conversation with different people
about the agency , It Is believed thu work of
the commission will bo finished hero in a fuw
days unless dissatisfaction in rcforonco to
the bcni'llts to the Santeca should provo
more dlfUonU to inanngo than now spei'.s
probable.

THU PAKNEhTj COMMISSION. .
Mlohncl Dnvltt Given Homo Sensa
tional Testimony.
LONDON , July 3. Michael Dnvltt was ex
amined before the Parnell commission to
day. Ho declared thcro was no truth in the
account given by Lo Caron before the com
mission concerning the proposals of John
Dcvoy being submitted to Pnrnoll. Pnrnoll
had nothing to do with witness' visit to
America In 1ST3.
Bnvlit stated that Whllo In America ho at
tended meetings of the Clan-nn-Gacl , nt
which ho explained the object * of the Land
league nnd tried to win the Clnn-na-Gaol to
Its support. The Glan-na-Gaol , ho said , In
cluded Boino of the best Irishmen in Amor-
lea. It was no moro a murder club than was
the Carlton club of London. Thcroiwas no
nlllancc between the Clun-na-Gaol and thu
league In Ireland. The league movement In
America xvnn the support of nil the Irish lit
America to Pnrnoll. The witness said ho
himself wno opposed to the use of dynamite ,
because It was an immoral nud unmanly
style of warfare. Ho was not opposed to
physical force , If lu resorting thereto there
was a reasonable chnnco of success. The
league did not provide for the circulation of
the Irish World in Ireland , nor did it circu
late the letter of John Dovoy on "A New
Departure , " extracts from which were
quoted by Attorney-General Webster , coun
sel for the Times.
Dnvltt said ho know Alexander Sullivan
slnco 1STS and had the highest opiulon'of his
nbiljty ns a lawyer , his character as n citizen
nnd his honor ns n man. Ho did not bcllevo
him capable of any dishonorable net. The
witness returned to Ireland from America in
1SSO. Ho then framed and Issued n circular
to the Irish people , and delivered thirty
speeches denouncing outrages. Ho believed
the outrages wcro duo to the agitation of the
local aquarian bodies composed of the sons
of tenant farmers. Witness disliked agita
tion nnd would willingly abandon It tomorrow
row If Ireland had Justice. Ho could not
nbnndon it otherwise. In reference to the
Phffinlx park murders Davltt said :
"Mr. Parnoll came to mo the Sunday fol
lowing the murder utterly broken down at
the news. Ho said , 'Davitt. 1 shall send my
rcslgnntion to Cork to-night. I refuse to
stay In a movement when dlsrcsponslblo
men , of whom wo unow nothing , can como
behind our backs and perpetrate such deeds. '
It took all my influence , " nid the witness ,
"to dissuade him from resigning. Wo im
mediately had circulated throughout Ireland
a manifesto condomlng the murders. "
Davltt continued : "Beyond stating pub-
Idy In Now York In July , 1682 , that I had
severed my connection with the revolu
tionary body , I expressed no dislike of the
fenians. I did not attend any meeting of the
Clan-na-Gacl after 18SU. I bcllevo murders
wcro committed by members of the Clan-nu-
Gacl , but the perpetrators certainly did not
'iavo the sanction of the governing body , nor
.ho approval of the loaders. " Witness con
tinuing said that a letter which ho wrote
uaod thn word "gun , " meaning revolver.
Bo declined to say to whom the letter was
addressed.
Attorney General Was it Arthur Forres-
.crl
.crlDavitt
Davitt I cannot say without possibly in-
urring a man who greatly wronged mo.
Presiding Justice Hnnncn said the court
respected the motive for the witness' retic-
ance , but could net recognize it as an excuse
"or not answering. t ,
Davitt thereupon said the man to whom
ho letter wus written had conceived a
wired towards another member of the
.eaguo and wished to murder him. Witness
ivroto to htm appearing to sanction the act
10 meditutnd , out merely to gain time until
10 could write to two superior olllccrs nnd
ask them to dissuade the man from carrying
out his purpose. The expression used in the
"otter was :
"Whoever is employed do not let him use
the 'pen1 wo have been using. "
Witness wrote to two superior officers
about the matter. lie could not tell their
mines. Davitt said the dear friend to whom
, vus addressed the letter In which the word
appeared was not in America , and ho pub-
"Icly appealed to him not to divulge his
uime.
A Change in Signal Systoms.
WASHINGTON , July 2. By a general order
ssued from army headquarters the Ameri
can Morse cede will hereafter bo used by the
army for nil purposes of signaling , whether
visual or nccoustic , nnd the use of the English - ,
glish Morse or Continental cede will bo dis
continued. This action was taken upon the
recommendation of the chief signal oflicor.
with a view to the simplification of signal
Instruction und to the ready employment und
utilisation in time of wnr of skilled civilian
telegraphers for military purposes. Fewer
errors nre supposed to result from the use of
the Kngllsh system , but it is slower than the
American system and its continuance would
involve thu employment of spoinlly trained
experts who could not bo procured in suOlc-
lent numbers in an emergency.

ng otio niilo ubovo Tlmxton's switch mid
hrou miles nbovo this city. Kniu lutd been
ailing continually for twenty-four hours ,
swelling tha mountain streams greatly bo-
end their normal stutc. Several trains had
passed over the road during tlio night ,
md it was thought tlio llao was safe
or truffle , notwithstanding the tains , and
'
ttat uo danger need bo apprehended. At tlio
ilaco of the accident- . however , the water
mil undermined trig ad bed and caused a
vnsh-out about eighty feet long and fifty
oet wide. The water at this point was ten
cct deep. Into this watery gulf the engines
nulo ; u frightful leap wnllo running thirty
niles nn hour , carrying with It the tender
and eight cars. As the engine struck the
jottom the rushing of wairr into the locomo-
Ivo exploded the boiler. This augmented
the catastrophe. The debris was thrown in
every direction by the force of the explosion ,
njurlng some of thojo on the train. Scat-
orlng lire brands Ignited the woodwork of
ho coaches. The flumes spread and de
stroyed n largo amount of mail and express
matter and ciiuscd n panlo among the al
ready terror-stricken passengers. It Is sup-
losed BOmo of the passengers were unable to
oxtrlcnto themselves from the wreck
and were consumed In the flames. It
s Impossible to state the number of persons
{ tiled , but the most reliable estimates place
tut between twenty-live and thirty. The
lumber of wounded will bo far In excess of
the number killed.
Thirty wounded hnvo heen taken" to
ioanoko , thirteen to Bufordsvillo and fifty
, o Liberty.
The adopted daughter of Mrs. Judge
Thompson , of Augusta county , was killed ,
and Mrs. Thompson herself is known to bo
jadiy hurt.
Donovan , the engineer , with his fireman ,
was scalded and burned to death by escaping
steam. .Truin Dispatcher Llpsoy was also
jurnod to death. Among others who lost
their lives wcro J. J. Kose , postal clerir , of
Abiiigdon , In. ; John Klrkpatrick , of Lynoh-
burg ; W. C. Stead , and two children of a
lasseugcr on the train whose name can not
jo learned. Stead was an Englisman nnd
the agent of nn Idaho hunting and ilshlug
expedition. Ho was on uis way to England
for supplies.
Major Cnssell. superintendent of the
Lynchburg division of the Norfolk Western ,
was on the train and is seriously injuroJ , as
were also Baggage Master Ford and Captain
Johnson , who was in charge of the train.
L. B. Summers , postal clerk , was badly
burned , .
There Is no telegraphic facilities nearer
Lho wreck than Liberty , nnd it is
liard to get Information from there ,
as the Norfolk & Western
refused to permit reporters to go on the
train which wont there. A relief train was
made up at Lynchburg late in the afternoon
to RO to the scene of the wrccic. A number
of physicians went down on it to do what
they could to aid the injured.
A dispatch received nt 11 o'clock from the
scone of the wreck , by way of Liberty , says :
Six dead bodies were recovered. The rail
road company has brought a largo corps of
physicians from Hoauoku nnd Liberty nnd
other points. It is thought a largo number
of bodies have burned in the conflagration.
THE LOW COMMODITY TA1UFF.
It Will Go Into Kflc-ct to tlic Missouri
Iliycr on July 8.
CniCAOO , July 2. [ Special Telegram to
THE Brn.l The low commodity tariff pro
posed by the Burlington & Northern will go
into effect to St. Paul on all roads July C.
The same tariff will bo put in to Missouri
river points by the Chicago , St. Paul & Kan
sas City July S. After a stormy session of
the Western Freight association to-day , all
the St. Paul roads agreed to adopt the com
modity tariff. As soon as this decision was
reachedf General Manager Egan , of the
Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City , announced
that the same rates would bo made by his
road to St. Joseph. After the meeting Mr-
Egan said : "Wo will put the commodity
rates into effect to the Missouri river July
S. " This statement was made posi
tively and without any reservation. Of
course , the rates will bo promptly mot by
every other western line , and. the anomalous
situation will bo presented of all lines west
of Chicago nnd east of the Missouri , appar
ently as a frco will offering , reducing their
rates over 50 per cont. The amount lost will
be far greater than the gross earnings oti
westbound through trafllo liavo been hereto
fore. Had the Chicago and St. Paul lines
kept up rules.ami allowed the Burlington &
Northern to meat lake competition , local
rates would everywhere bo intact , and'tlio
break could not have extended ; west of the
eastern line of Iowa. The Western Freight
association will mill further consider the
matter , but only wltl ) , reference to the appli
cation of the rates to Missouri river points.
The Burlington & Northern nnd
the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas
City representatives have loft for their
homes , fao thcro ls.no possibility that the
rates will not go Into effect.
Tlio passenger department of the Central
' 1 raflio association to-day agreed to adopt
r.vtes of ono first-class limited faro for the
national encampment of the G. A. H. at
Milwaukee In August. It was ulso decided
not to grant roducad rates for harvest excur
sions.
The executive board of the Intor-SJato
Commerce Hallway association to-day ren
dered a decision denying the request of the
Chicago , St. Paul & ICansus City for the es
tablishment of Peoria rates from.St. Paul to
SU Joscpti on alcohol. It was the view of
the board that the application of Chicago
rates from St. Paul would not bo unfair , and
such application was recommended.

equtsltion from the governor of Nebraska
to the governor nf Missouri to secure the ar
rest of Hlchard Cullen , the tramp suspoi-tcd
of the murder of the Loavltt children , do *
siring to use him as n witness in the investi
gation. They gave the sheriff instructions
o bring Cullun on a subpoena It ho would
: omo that way , and If not to arrest him'on
n format Inn , secure a requisition nnd hold
htm under that authority. Thu sheriff lo
cated Ins man In Missouri , but on arriving
.here found him traveling \vlth tramps to
ward the Kansas hue. Sin Hey assumad the
icat detective role of u tramp and quietly re
turned with him to Sowurd , arriving hero
to-night. The grand Jury had been In session
all day and towards evening adjouincd to
ncot 'upon call , nud several do-
mrtod to their homos. Upon learning
(
of the arrival of the sheriff , . and
witness they Immediately reassembled , nnd
nra examining Cullen ns a wlt pss. ' Uy n
majority of the citizens Cnllcn is thought to
jo the perpetrator of the crime. The ovl-
deuce against hi hi seems to bo that shortly
nftor the crime Cullen was seen
n Seward , Monday at midnight ,
sleeping in n barn. The next
norulng , while waiting breakfast , a con
versation occurred in his presence about the
murder , when Cullen immediately loft , not
returning for breakfast. Blood clots wcro
loticcd upon his clothes and scratches upon
ils face nnd hands. Ho changed his clothes
n an outhouse in the rear of the hotel , In
which place has since beeh found a vest con
taining blood spots. Ho was hold for ex
amination. AUlrkknlfo was found in his
lossesslon. Ho gave unsatisfactory no-
counts of his whcrcaOouts and has sluco been
roaming about the country. Ho was known
in the Lcavitt neighborhood , nnd because ho
was recognized by friends hero was ro
.eased. The only theory which connects
him with the crime Is that the intention was
rape , which ho was prevented from accom
plishing by the younger sister approaching ,
and , recognizing her , ho cut the throat of the
eldest girl nnd then that of the youngest-to
remove the witness against him. But few
hold to the theory that Stomblock , who sui
cided Saturday , was guilty of the crime.
The grand 1ury has made no report , but it is
generally understood that Ciilleivwill bo in
dicted for murder. This Is the witness the
grand jury has been waiting for nearly two
weeks. Cullcn claims innocence nud if in
dicted will endeavor to establish au alibi.

The accidental mooting of three or four
senators in the rooms of Mr. Cullom last
evening has boon magnified by the local
: > npcrs Into a formal conference of republi
can leaders , at which , ns Is alleged , Uioro was
n long discussion nnd Important conclusions
reached regarding party policy. The fncta
of the matter nro that Senators Allison ,
Chandler and Dolph called upon Mr. CuH
om last evening. Whllo they were sitting
with him Colonel Dudley came In with Mr.
Fcssondon , the Connecticut . mem-
jer o'f the republican national commit-
, co , to pay their respects. The conference nat
urally drifted upon thu political situation In
the hotiso of representatives nnd the Import
ance of the republicans taking every precau
tion to secure their majority. The elections
! n the territories were also alluded to , nnd it
was tno general opinion that the republican
committee ought to tnko charge of the can
vass lu Montana , where there Is much doubt ,
as to the result regarding an extra session ,
rhoro was a general Interchange of opSnlojJi '
nearly every ono agroolng that It shodiq not *
jo culled until nftor the special" 'oloo- *
tions in the territories , bccausa
of the narrow majority n the
liouso of representatives , and thu several
senators present agreed to speak to the t
president on the subject at tlio llrst opportu
nity. but did not do so to-day , and thuro was
no conference with him ns reportsd in the
Washington evening pnpqrs. Mr. Cullom ,
Mr. Allison nnd Mr. Chandler wcro nt the
white house , but the latter .was the only ono1 r
who had the patlonco to wall for nn oppoiv
tunity to see the president. It Is the general
opinion among these senators that there will
bo nn extra session called for the llrst Mon
day In November.
ANXIOUS FOII TAvr.on.
It has developed that the private business
upon which Senator Spooner and Chairman
Payne , of the Wisconsin republican commit
tee , mot hero the other day was to secure the
appointment of H. Taylor , of Wisconsin , as
commissioner of railroads , In place of Gen
eral Joseph 13. Johnston , whoso retention.
General Sherman has made it personal matter - *
tor with the president. ' Senator Spoonor is
exceedingly anxious to have Taylor taken
care of In some way nnd has been pressing
him upon the president for several different
ofliccs. Ho seems to bo as anxious to eot
Taylor llxed as ho was to get Husk In the
cabinet , but whether ho can secure Johns
ton's removal after General Sherman baa
requested his retention is n qucstldn. Mr. .
Taylor is a fellow townsman of Senator ;
Spoonor nnd the editor of the Hudson Star
and Times. Ho has been chairman of the re
publican committee of the state and a mom-
bar of the legislature , and us ho aspires to
Mr. Spooner's coat In tha senate Spoonor is
particularly anxious that ho shall bo well f
taken care of. ' , - J
INTKIlESTIJlj'l.V T1IC NBW STATrS. * ' ff
There are more members of the house atitt
senate hero at the present tlmo than , at any
time since the great rush for ofllce'B'flrsti
subsided. There has been moro or less so- ,
crccy maintained in reference to those visits ,
and senators especially liavo shown a dispo
sition to throw Inquirers off the scent by the >
statement that they are "simply looking out >
a few places for their friends. " It Is learned , .
hovvevcr , th.it there is nn object In the C ;
gatherings which ! of far moro moment
than potty spoils. The greatest interest 1st
being manifested in the forthcoming elec
tions In the four now states , aud nycry republican -
publican Is exceedingly nuxlous that the
elections shall bo curried In every
disirict for the republican nominee.
The gatherings , therefore , may bo
positively stated to have a vcry
close connection with these elections. The
practical unanimity of belief that congress , *
will bo called together before the duto for'
the regular session , and the reports of dem
ocratic success in some of the local elections
In Montana , together with the knowledge'
that the very best efforts of the party are
necessary to control and maintain the Organ
ization of the house , have sot the loaders to
thinking that something must bo dono. The
consultations , which have boon of nn entirely j , > ,
informal character thus far , have resulted
In a practical determination among the lead \T :
ers of the party to take hold of the campaign
in Montana und to mnko the light a national ,
one. It Is thought hero to-night that the
national committee will bo called upon to
tuko charge of the details. While Montana
Is the principal point of weakness In
the republican fabrio in the north
west , it Is not Intended that thu other' '
now states shall be neglected , and'
it is probable that within the present month ,
a nlun' of campaign will bo outlined which
will inouro as vigorous a political movement'
In the two IJakotus , Montana und.Wushiuq-
ton us characterized the contests la any of
the elder congressional districts lust fall.
The republicans hero do not propose to lese
any ono of the flvo scats by default ; on the
contrary , Jhoy nro determined tliqt.ii tho'
democrats carry nny ono of them It will only' '
bo after the liveliest kind of n cunviiis.
