The attempt to negotiate treaty with the
Sioux chifs now in Washington for the cesslon
of the Black Hills country to the United States
proceeds somewhat slowly, and there is, more
over, doubt whether they have the power to
convey possession. The twelfth article OF the
existing treaty stipulates that no treaty OF ces-
sion shall have validity unless signed by three
fourths of the male Indians occupying or in
terested 10 the reserved lands. The ludian con-
tractors aud traders are laboring to prevent
amcable negotiations.

ton of Duncan, Sherman & Co.'s letters OF
credit in the bands Of travellers. Negotia.
tons therefor have been pending since the

the longer they are postponed there is the
less probability of successful result.
Letters received here from Americans in
Paris say that over 1000 holders OF the sus-
pended firms letters of credit have been
beard from in Germany alone. Many Of
them are utterly destitute Of funds, and have
been compelled to apply to the local authori-
ties or TO the American consuls for relief.

beard of the failure. The American and Eng
ish people where she was staying subscribed
sufficient funds to pay her expenses to Ham,

passage for home.
Appeals for aid from persons holding these
letters come from all directions. docu'
