Standing Kock Agency. Aug. 4.-Blood l? up among
the chiefs at the reservation, over thc charge made
against Hiern bjr the Commissioners. They arc
chargrilled and enraged at the attempt of tba ( BBB*
Brieetoueia lo force them to tell the Indians Ihat they
might WnOl up and sign Ihe p?.per If they pleased.
This was an Insinuation that thor were no better
than thc common people of th-lr tribes, and lias
slime their pride, in his i-eply to me t oinmlssloiiers,
John Lrass said: "You have said many thln_s t"
sham* the Indians. You accuse ns of ra)Ins
that the Oran! Father In Washington Iles Wi
did not say thar : we say that tho Tomml'stoners
whom he sends to tn are liars. We have told you
thal we do not want BB 'lien the papers, and we
meant lt We do po want ro ?lgn. because wo
ar? not cettlng enough for our lands That I* |OB*
whai vc mean. You talk too much to us. Ton
foll u? many things iha' arc not In the l.tlt; we
have had mir young men read the bill tn u*. and
we know that yon are tellt.ig na n.my
that are not true. You mar say tha: I
am not authorized to ?p*-ak for Hie Indians. I tay I
am. and 1 stand here now talking for all the Indians."
IPre th- Indians supported i.ras- to his itatSmeat
with a Mg -ow:- Continuing, emus said: "You
have kept us herc many 'lax, and we want W g"
home and attend to our crop*. We have leaked ar
?1 iuipoi and at the black, and wo can
difference. ?
During this ?poeeh SlMinc Bull was moving around
among the Indians, giving ih<m advice. The aenss
ilona* eharga of tbe Commlsston, and the spirited
?peech of t-raiK created a profound mnsatton anions
Hu- Indians, ami lt was plain thai main ol the reds
were dnmfoundod. They wen* surprised and da/ed
and were p!ae.-d in a condition nf wild expectancy.
To-day icing the day for thc Issue of thc rai.mis.
all of thc Indiana of the reaowratfon, ?qua?
children, were present, and the i iimiiilsstoiuiia had a [
gi-at opportunity u, work apon -beti gratitude. lt
wis a good dav for explanation, ami iha l ommlsstonan
believe thal they hav* made a break in Ihe ranks of
thc opposition ih-> nota objections sn iai advanced hv
thc Indians an- ihat iii.* Government ha* not observed

for their lards, tl-ar the preeent boondan linen "f ihelr

io the teni eel and Poneai being brought Into !

mis-ioners have told them in reply iha! Ike Govern?
ment has dune more thea it promts *d, thal their rations
were largely Increased by the treaty ol 18TS, ,uid Ihat :
upon the expiration of the time during arhkb they
were to be tod they were fed

have boon told what the Government has expended
for them, and Ihey have been shown as plainly aa
pos-lble thal If they will accept this tr*aiy they Bill
be one of ihe richen BOUUnuntttol on the continent.
At tho council of the Indians last night, the chiefs
[ ..poke bitterly of the I Oniinissloii. and asked the In?
dians If they would follow ihe advice nf men who
would Insult their chief. Sluing Bull spoke of the
vast areas of land that ihe Indians have given Bl ihe
whiles, and ?ald now they are trying to
crowd np upon a pa'tnre not blr enough for cows.

always been true to thom. Ile asked
them If they would follow In tl.e lead nf these
Conni* nioner! whom they have never seen before,
or follow theil chiefs, who have led lhem to battle,
and fought for them. Il- recalled the Mme that the
vi niles planed hun to tbe ground with bayonets, near
Fort Stevenson, and left bini for dead, and said thai,
wtth all they hail done, be had never been ie
hurt as when these Commissioners tell him that h

THE UOBTY-jra BEOIN'S ITS WORK.
Ahotit 7 o'clock these fathering clouds took on

At half-past 7 o'clock the wind had assumed
flu- Hendy velocity of a small hurricane, nnd
the flying -.louds of dust hui beeotM so largo

through them, save tin* great Hashes of lightning
which had hoon Steadily Boating nearer, nccom

DOWE CAME THE ratEMCHlEq RAIN.
At vj" o'clock thor- waa a vivid flash that
Jl_-hr*d up the whole cltv. followed almosti
Instantly by a thunder pen] tliat sounded like
tho explosion of a whole battery1 of nrtillorv.
Then the rain foll, first in scuttoring drop* and
finally ,n gnat drenching sheets, laying tho dust

to those who witnessed it, os it shone for that *
one Bri- f Imf vivid moment through the tailing
sheets of wind-rlrivin rain, which seemed as a ?
gr<at glistening gossamer mnr.tle 0f fairylike
to\turv spread oui over the city.
Just before io o'clock tin* siorm subsided and ;
humanity enme out of !is holes again, only to be
driven bask a quarter of an hour later by ii second
and even more violeul storm, which teated until
upon midnight, though its viotenoa did not
continue so lone During this latter svorm there
were .several Hashes of lightning that almost ox

The family revenue han been increased largely by the
efforts of His. Schaefer, who has let famished room
in the house to six lodger-, all of them men.
Schaefer went to work yesterday mm nlng and the
six lodcers left the house as usual about the same
time It wai undersiood that Mrs. Schaefer and hei
daughters were to go on an excursion and that the
house would he closed up until late In the afternoon.
Mrs. Schaefer and one of the daughter! were seen lo
leave ihe house, after locking thc front door, shortly
before o a. m. The orber dauglnter had probably

had not been go,ie many minutes wh**n an Mallan Ice?

Then the firemen began to make discoveries. The
half-burned bed had been soaked with kerosene. On
Hie front parlor floor was a gallon can of benzine. All
the doors on thc first floor had boen P-ft open, and
the walli of ihe rooms had been wot with benzine In
many places. Cans and bottles which hail contained
oil and benzine wart, found on the floors of two bed
rooms over the back parlor Closets off the isioms
had been wet with the Inflammable liquids Morse
still, packages of j int ow tl-r and cartridges wera found
on the shelvee of the closets. Ar, excelsior mattress,
soaked with oil. had been si|tiee/.,vi between tbe

The police and flrenien .-ani" to the conclusion ihar

by lightning.
About a dozen men wore in the two-story- build*
ing when ;i b.indin. Hash. accompanied aini'il
Lineously bp a deafening thuuder clais nearly
knocked them or? their fe*t. A moment later the
switch bo. rd against the front willi of the build?
ing wns .ibl:i_._ nnd the flumes were shooting up
lOWBld tho roof. An alarm of lire brought several
OtMBpunted of firemen in a hurry through tho
drenching ruin. At thur moment it seemed as if
the d.-iiige from above must (juickly put an end
to the lire, but tin* Annies only g*ith'Te?l mom
foroo m streams from three engines were added
to the downpour, aad a third alarm was sounded.
THE MEN IN TIIE PLACE HAD FLED
The n.en in tho sub-station had fled at the hiv,
ginniriK of Hw outbreak, most of thom being ter?
ror-stricken ly the lightning. For a f.-v minutes
the Hiinrs rose in a solid column from the roof,
but the streams from a dozen engines soon began
to tell, and before l" o'clock the Ure was out.
The tri,ulile was not over yet. however. Flashes of
lightning oesttlNdBl frei|t;ent intervals, and every*,
time there waa un unusually bright flash streams of
fire stewed to shoot out of the many electric light
w.r.s winch entered tho building, and there wns a
eSMfa which made tho damager] roof shake Every?
thing in the bidding was wet, and the tlremen said
that wet things conducted electricity easily. They
r tin- fire had been caused by lightning
which travelled in on the wires.
George Roth, an inspector for the Board of El'*e>
trlcnl Ceatral, agreed with the firemen. Ile also
suspected that some of th.- wires entering tIi3
building wera not properly insular^,

For a time nobody connected with the sub*

; Ines after drawing tin* boiler IMS Bad shut tm g

tendent of the station, was found about l<)

to him tliat the station would be dina) ml for a
time There were twontv-scvon dynamos in tba
building, and they had inst over #3.000 each, or
ub'iut g65,000 altogether. It was impossible to
tell how badly tin- dynamos were damaged. Mr.
Roe thought thai the ebie, damage would resule
from tho water causing rust in some parts of tho
machines. Ihe damage to the building did nott
e\Ceed $2,000.
At ii:jii j>. m. an electric light wire set fire to
