Show LATEST DlSPATCBESj GENERAL. WASHINGTON. Workings of the Economy of fousrri'NS - Wuut the Sioux must Come lo. Tho Whisky Trials. Washington, 22. The examination of appropriations for public buildings shows much more damage will result from crippling tho appropriations than was at first supposed. Among the more serious is the result to the class of working men. A general discharge must take place on account of tho cessation of avork long before the usual season is closed. The commissioner of internal revenue, rev-enue, to-day, issued orders reducing the pay of deputy collectors of internal inter-nal revenue six per cent., and also reducing the pay of gaucers to a mas imuui of 55 per day. The commissioner of Indian affairs is engaged in completing instructions to the commissioners appointed U carry out the law concerning the removal of the Sioux Indians to the Missouri river. They are not yel finished, but are so far very precise and firm, reflecting the views ol the president. This is evidence in an cmphatio direction. After quoting the law of congress that no promises shall be made to the Indians that anything any-thing will be done for them, as the result re-sult of the deliberations now had with them, until fiiibmitted to the president and confirmed by congress, a very distinct and creditable credi-table injunction is that no stipulation for the payment of money can be made, but they aro to bo assured that the guarantees will be carried out for feeding, clothing and teaching them, so as to make themselves sustaining. sus-taining. Secretary Chandler will re-fuso re-fuso to give the Indians rations until they consent to remove to such point on the Missouri river as the president may direct. They are to give up the Black Hills entirely and to remain as far as possible away from them. The success of the commisssioners with the Sioux will depend largely, it is telt by officials, on tbe pending hostilities, hos-tilities, which, if terminated in the deieat, punishment and capture, or driving in of the Indians, will be followed fol-lowed by a disposition among hostiles; aa well as reservation IndianB toao-j cept almost any terms proposed to them by government. Under instructions from the attor-ney'gencral attor-ney'gencral all the pending whisky prosecutions are to be taken up and disposed of at tho next term of the court having them in charge. There aro a number of persons under indictment in-dictment who have not yet been on trial. These are to be arraigned as soon as possible. In the caecs o! those who havo pleaded guilty, the district attorneys will be instructed to move for sentence. This action will bring up the question of immunity. It is believed a considerable number claiming to havo received immunity will be able to show that they never had any understanding that ihey were to receive it by any one authorized author-ized to act for covernmt nt. There is no foundation for the 1 report of tho intention t-j pros- j for sentence those to wnora ' any promises of immunity were made: by officers of government or Bpecial counsel, nor is it tiie purpose of the attorney general to demand any unusual evidence of immunity having! been prompted. Tho statement of special counsel will be accepted. The 1 whole object is to have ail c.isi s dis ' posed of, to make sure that no one escapes either trial or sentence uiuh r false pretences. Before the n xt term of court in St. Louis, Chicaco and Milwaukee full instruction! will be sent to tiie district attorneys and special counsel by tiio attorney cent ral.
