likely to he fought out iii ? Thc Times." Most
people who opened that paper yesterday arni saw
a loni: letter in Mp type signed " Your Obedient

rc.err*il to in the O'Shea letter. Tito most im?
portant of these are Mr. I*ameU's draft of tho
National Council's scheme and the Coercion bill
alfred by Mr. I*arne!l's own hand into the form
in which, aerording to Mr. O'Shea, he proposed it
should Ih* 1-is.vd with just enough show of opp"
siti-n from hm to satisfy thone concerned. " I
think.** s-irs Mr Parnell. " if Mr. Chamh?-rlain

them, and 1 eail upon him to do so." To-day np

The trunk lines have at last lOntrod to meet tha
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western'! Irregular
methods for nearing Immigrant traffic bv a radical
open red'irfinn In fares. Al a meeting ri the ex-*rntlre
commit tee* yesterday lt was decided that OT Augual
10 Immigrant farce should be reduced to the basis
of ?.*> from ROW-Torft and Boston to Chicago. N BO
from Philadelphia to Chicago, and f4 40 from Balti?
more to Chicano. The limitation of Immigrant orders
was fixed at ninety days from the date ol the original
contract with the purchaser, and the clearing boan
committee was laatrueted ta atrar.ge d'talls and " to
make such immigrant fares fmm the several ports
from time tn time m may be found necessary and
practicable for the protection of all lines interested.**
The action nf Um executive committee wai not
taken without allowing a full hearing fo representa?
tives of the Lackawanna anel the New York, ontario
and Western roads. Who wen- present at the meeting.
The latter poad defends Its Irregularities on the ground
that lt was compelled to meet the cutting of ihe Lack?
awanna. Tlie defence of the Lackawanna was pro?
nounced wholly Inadequate bv nveiui representatives
Of the trunk lln-s. Ona well known officer sahl: "The
Lackawanna has bren given every opportuolty M
meet Ibo complaints against Its conduct, uni! lt- 'le
fence has |,,*.-;, unsatisfactory. We have offered t" do
everything In our power to make the clearing boon
latlifactory, even lo the extent nf making personal

sale payment of aonnilnloaa and other Impmper
mefhode-i of cutting ra'es. it is Hie general (npnaolM
that the road ls not as ton I" act In the n,att-i as
other Ibu s an*.**
Another prominent trunk line officer was more
frank. He (.aid : * Thc Lackawanna farms out Its
Immigrant tragic to one man. and he oas only to re?
turn a certain percentage of tam ta the company.
Beyond M.ai percentage he can woura all the proflti
ubtained from cuuunlaalona from Western Hne>, less
the amount he ha- ta pay ta get the bUBtseBB, He
can afford to cut the commissions deep If lt will ln
i-i'-.ve' his btnlnen, and be la not Interested in the
effect thal tab cutting wfl] have on Brat elan and sec?
ond-class fan's. t'ntll thc LeUekuwaana takes it- Im?
migrant bnslnen in Its oven hands, wa can hardly
hope Per a reform in the lunation."
it is considered probable thal the open Immigrant
rate will te reduced early ta gi ta chicago. The trunk

London, Aug. 7?Tich'tiiI Sheridan's death at?
tracts much aitentjoij beta ami oin its many
expression** of srmiwthy nnd adminitinn. "The
Times" gives him two columns. Like other Eng?
lish papers, it does him som- justice bot not
BempletS justice. The English have Berm ??'
got over their notion that the American civil wag
writ ut the end no nt, the bsgiBRJllg B war "f
?matann. " General Sheridan," says " Thc Times,"
| " had i?n eagle eye for piercing through the
desipig 0f tj10 tAhmfBI nnd fog detesting at a
glance til their weak points" Not much like
an nmnteur. that. Most of this long article,
ho-.v.ver, is devoted to a. narrative of Sheridan'.
career.
" He was," says " Tlie Daily News," " not onlv
the most brilliant cavalry officer that was pro?
duced on either side, tint lie vvus both ii tacticiati
nnd a strategist, sopabls of tho most extensive
ci mhiniitioiis, sud able to carry out far-reaching

? ither; nnd those of us who most admited Sheri?
dan, may be content to see him put above the
general wii.uii Napoleon reckoned Ins ablest
opponent There is mucli more in this " Daily
?M if article winch deser.tS quoting. None
lo good has been printed, non,* whieh ahoWB such
knowledge of Sheridan, tin* man and of Sheridnn
tlu soldier. Says the writer: "His warmth of
nat ure and tbe P'-culitir cliarocter of bia genius
tun,le inui loved. Ha waa soc of the most soldierly
soldiers of his time. He united brilliant courage,
whiofa h'- owed to his Irish origin, to iwrfect
steadiness inui presence of mimi in emergencies.''
'?thor papen write in terms of high eulogy.
" I'liil Sheridan," says " Thc Morning i'nst,'
" was a man wh * m his enemies iirlnnre-'i -veil while
h.s ge.njus was overcoming their stubborn courage."
Even " The Dully Telegraph," an idolater of Lm
quotes if it does not wholly adopt an adequate
eatimate of this wonderful soldier, hut it cannot
bear ls describe his final achievements or Lees
?Ri?.render. __jffgt *** "u the pathetic incidents

Wicre is no need for us to dwell."
There arc passages In print t-o-day, as there have

ivfis held in high esteem by I'rni'*' Ii.sm.trek snd
Count Von Moltke," says "The 'limes," which
tells over again the well-known .tory of the
dinner with I*rince Bi.smar.-k. I don't know
whether Sherldon ever published his opinion on
Uni conflie-t, bul he made no secret of it in
Loudon. He much admired the skill of tbe Ger*

Standing Kock. Aug. 7. -At laat the persistent
and hopeful C'omrr.i.s,oners realize that defeat
in the matter of owning th* Sioux Reservation
?tOIBg them in the face. The language of Chair''
man ITatf to the haughty chiefs of the tribe*, in
t?iisitied thc opposition of the Indians, aad instead
of making a break in til" ranks of the braves,
solidified the opposition ard cemented the friend?
ship of thc- factions. Tho matter wns virtuallv
settled tfs-diiy, when John Grass arose in the con?
ference and informed the Commissioners that tho
Indians would sign neither pa[>cr ?nd that they
would nov return U> their larms regardless of what
the Commissioners might suy. Grass made a
pointed speech, whieh met, with the applause of
the Indians, an'l ns soon a.s BS lissa! the circle was
broken and tlie Ind inns started for home.
All the efforts of Clmirman Pratt to control tho
Indians were futile, but Agent McLaughlin suc?
ceeded in restoring quiet and having the confer*,
enoe adjourned with a semblance of ord?r. It was
ii most humiliating scene. The representatives of
the Government of thc United States sent t<> con?
fer with the Indians were left standing helplen
iind hopeless, while the Indiana, who have re?
peatedly render-d their decision not to si-,*n, left
the conference with contempt depicted upon their
countenances.
Two of the Commissioners, Judge Wright, of
Tennessee, and the Kev. Mr. Cleveland, of Da?
kota, have been inclined to a fair and decent
policy, winch, if adopted, might have secured
the consent of thc Indian.., but unfortunately the
man -selected as chairman has attempted to pur?
sue the ..mi) tactics with warriors that he em?
ploys in ruling a few weak-minded Indian children
ut Carlisle, IVnn. For days lt has been ap
paranl that, the Indians were growing more bitter
in their opposition to thc Beaty daily, but
Chairman Pratt has been slow to believe thaa
he knows absolutely nothing of the true Indi.ia
character. At last the conference has been
ahmed, not by thc Cominivsioners but by t__o
Indians, The couferencc was virtually c. 1
Inst night in the private council of tlie Indians,
when tliey decided that to-day they would Uara
the sgeney.
The reports which have been brought by Indian
conners from the lower agencies have tuen as
discouraging as those sent from this point, urn!
the opening of the reservation auder tin- present
act is now considered among the impo?silnlitic>.
Red Cloud sent word that (he Indians at Pino
Ridge would not sign, and thal f the Standing Ko-lt
Indians signed, their act would have no effect
upon his people. It is a lad. however, that many
of the doubting Indiana at some of tba lower agen?
cies have bess awaiting th- action of Gall. Bad
Beor, John dross and Miling Bull, ami thal tho
failure nt this poiut virtually settles the Battas
beyond all hope of .1 ebaago. Bitting Bull's molal
call upon the Commissioners gave Chairman Pratt
renewed hope, but the cunning old chi'*! ara* limply
giving him an exhibition of his diplomacy ami sd
thc 2(iod training lie leeaived while on
his Eastern tour. The great min of
the tribes is Chief Gall sad to-day's action on
the part of the Indians left no d**ubt of his powet
and inHii'-nce. In council, arbenever h** spoke of
the attempt of the Commission to divest him of
thc authority to s]x'iik for the Indians, his followers
wonk! give vent to their indignation m tba mosti
startling meaner.
John 1 rras? ni a brief speeeh called for a vote on
>the te;.ty. Whoa he called on thom willing to
sign " No." not an Indian arose. When he called
for those who would sign " Yes,'' every man n
matned motionless on the ground. But when he
requested those who would sisrn neither pap_r to
rise, (?*. erv man ai ese with cheers and whoops and
