WARRINGTON, December 31.-The Chey-
enne, River and Lower Brule Sioux, who
we're 20 have held another conference at
the Interior Department yesterday concern
ing the railroads right OF way through
their reservation, sent word from their ho-
tel to the Department in the morning that
they we're "too tired to talk to-day, but
thought they would be sufficiently rested
to talk tomorrow"
The Brule and Yankton Sioux agreed to-
day to sign a treaty to allow the railroads
the righs of way through their reserva-
ton. The price they agreed 10 take is five
dollars per acre for land needed at termi-
nus points, four dollars per acre for land
used for intermediate stations, and $40
per mile for roadway This is substan-
TALLY what the road have offered from the
start. The other Sioux bands on the res
ervation are expected to agree to the same
proposition by the railroad officials. Still
obey will feel sure OF nothing until the
treaty is actually signed, and this the In
dams seem disposed to put off until the
last moment.

ventiOn.

five messages may be simultaneously sent
from each end of the line, and so far it is
saidth contrivance has proved satisfactory.
The principle involved is that which under
lies Prof. Elisha Gray's telephone-that by
the vibrations Of the tuning forks, tones Of
q different pitch can be sent over the wire
simultaneously, and repeated at the receive
ing end by an ingenious continuance. A
vibrating tuning fork at the receiving end
is made to break the circuit, so as to de.
liver the message in the Morse alphabet.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
are said to have offered the inventor
$3.50, 900 if he shall succeed III using one
wire for four simultaneous messages during
two months, and 1926, 600 for each line Of
message superimposed after that. AS
stated above, six weeks of trial are success
fully passed, and it is stated that on the
21st instant five operators in New York
and five in Boston, using one wire, sent and
received 2, $50 messages, or forty per hour
each man.
