STUBBORN INDIANS.
They Think the White Man Has Enough Land.
ST. PAUL, July 24.—A special from Standing Rock agency says excitement on the reservation was intense to-day. A few Indians seem inclined to hear what the members of the Commission have to say, but most of the chiefs even refuse to take the circulars printed in Sioux, explaining the terms of the treaty. Chief Gall, who took a leading part in yesterday's Indian council, says to-night he will not sign the treaty, and no chief, except Running Antelope, can be found who will admit that he can be induced to sign. The Indians are holding another all-night council. Most of them refuse to talk until Sitting Bull returns. He is expected to-morrow. Strong efforts will be made to induce him to sign. The half breed element are active against the treaty. Chiefs Mad Bear, John Grass, Big Heart and Gall have been selected by the Indians to speak for them to-morrow. The argument of the Indians is that the white men have already more land than they use.
