OF Dakota, is In the city, and denies bav.
ing written the report attributed to him,
stating that the treaty with. the Indians
for opening of the Black Hills would be
completed within thirty days. He has
just returned from Washington, and
says the matter is quietly working ana
something may result in reasonable
time, though he does not encourage the
wild stories told about the Hills.
He says that the President and Secre-
tary Delano assured him that commits
sioners will soon be sent out by the Gov
ernment to make an investigation of the
lodes of ores. Ii any should be found,
the public may be informed about it.
When this is done, the people who go

Meeting at Headquarters Last Night
The delegates Of the different leagues met last
evening at their headquarters, No. 49J Louisiana
avenue. Mr.. IHodnettI presided, and introduced
Hon. Daniel r. Lyddy, Of the New York Labor
Council.
Mr.. Lyddy said It gave him great pleasure to
meet the workingmen Of Washington in council,
and It gave him crater pleasure to learn that the
men here were so united and 60 unanimous in de:
manding their rights. Il afforded bin great
pleasure to have the opportunity Of telling them
how much the workingmen Of New Yors symps-
thized with them. He had no hesitation In say
ing that one of the greatest evils under which they
suffer 10 the want Of suffrage; or, in other words
the right-the common right-of every American
citizen to have voice in the selection Of their
rulers and he declared, as Democrat from New
YORK, he would DO all In bis power, and also
pledge the cooperation OF the workingmen Of New
York with the workingmen OF Washington, for the
speedy restoration Of the right of suffrage to the
feopie Of inis District. ia could not see how any
zane man in Congress could vote against such
measure, that carries on its very face the essence
OF American liberty.
Mr.. George W. Stewart offered the following,
which was adopted:
Resoleed, That the demonstration In honor OF
Congress be turned into 9 suffrage denomination,
and that Hon. Daniel r. Lyddy, of New York, be
invited to address Us on that occasion.
AFTER some remarks upon the resolution, COM
mittee OF twelve was appointed to escort Mr.
Lyddy to the train, and the meeting adjourned.
