THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Sioux I.ands-The Great Reservation Par
 ttLiOned Up-CattIe for Stock Raising
 Furnished to the Indians-The Hap
 penings of the Day at the Capital.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Secretary of the Interior, in submitting to the Senate to- day the repeal of the commission appointed to negotiate with the Sioux Indians for the modification of existing treaties, says the re- port shows that by the agreement made and now submitted for the action of Congress the great Sioux reservation has been broken up into separate reservations for the different agencies and the surplus ceded to the gov ernment. These reservations are located in accordance with the wishes of the Indians themselves and are of such extent as to give ample territory for the present and future needs of their occupants. The consideration for the land ceded consists principally of cat tie for purposes of stock raising, to which the country reserved by the Indians is especially adapted. The raising of stock is the most material and effective means by which the Indians can aid in their own support and may be also an instrument for elevating and improving their general condition. The sum required for carrying out this agreement IS therefore in effect only an advance of capital l to the Indians, the returns of which will re- lieve the government of Q large annual ex- penditure for their support.

Polite Hints to a Russian Diploma

Polite Hints to a RussfGn Diplomat
 VIENNA, Feb 5.-The visit ef II. deGiers still continues to form the principal topic of comment in the Vienna papers, but the only matter deserving notice is the significant atti- tude adopted by the semi-oficisl organs. It is evident that they have received instruc- tions to convey to the Russian diplomatist, in the politest possible language, not unneces- sary warning with regard to the present situ- ton. The Frenade1a BlGtt, Count Kalnoky's mouthpiece, says: 'tM- deGiers must be quite aware that the alliance binding us (Austrians) to Germany excludes any special agreement of one of the allies with third power Austria can have no relations towards Russia not shared by Germany, nor Germany any not participated in by Austria. This is as well known in St. Petersburg as the fact that the two allies are entirely agreed as to the principles of the policy they are to pursue, and, again, as the fact that the chief object of the alliance is the maintenance or peace upon the basis of existing treaties. If, nevertheless, Russia lays particular stress upon the preservation of friendly relations with both the central European powers this

 Quntls Eaten in Thirty Days.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Waleott, the quail devourer, came promptly to time at 4 o'clock this afternoon to eat his thirtieth and final brace of quail. There were fully two hun- dren people present in Gabe Case's roadside inn when the birds were put on the table, There was no betting, but much talk, and when the new astronomical wonder swal- lowed the last morsel of quail, having fin ished the pair in just seven minutes and ten seconds he received an ovation which brought him to his feet and subjected him to a round of vigorous handshaking. ''He tried to beat his record of eating brace in seven min utes," said Case, "but failed by ten seconds :" Bunnell, the museum man, signed the score sheet to day and has engaged Walcott for ex- hibition as curiosity. Some of the specta- tors went out to the stables to take a look at Gabe's dwarf bear. ''Look at him." said Case, "I am now in training to make din ner of that animal as soon as he tips the scales at fifty pounds" Then they all re- turned to the house and celebrated the an- nouncement in manner which made it un- usually lively for the bartender.

FIRE RECORD.

The Cleveland oil Fire-Heavy Damage
 -LargeiLosses at Other Points
 CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 5.-The Standard Oil fire. which started on Saturday morning is still burning, several tanks being ablaze and the principal works are still threatened The lumber yards are all afoat, but the floods are subsiding. About noon on Saturday an ex- plosion took place in leaky still in the yards of the Standard Oil company. In few mo- ments 8 perfect river of burning and roaring oil was coursing through the yard toward the Cuyahoga river and surrounding the other tanks. The heavy storms had flooded the yards, but the water only served to float the burning fluid and give it swifter and easier passage. Tank after tank and still after still exploded in spite of the efforts of the fire department. A drizzling rain kept fall ing, but did not deter men, women and chil- dren from thronging the streets and railroad tracks to get sight of the burning works. All night long the flames increased in fury and nine tanks with their contents were de- stroyed. The fire burned all day Sunday, all of Sunday night and is still burning, but with less fury than before. The pump house, receiving tanks. still and engine houses have been destroyed and the loss will not be less than $500, 900. The scene of the fire is 8 picture of devastation and ruin, but the fire is now thought to be under control and most of the fremen, who were terribly exhausted by their long tour of duty, have gone to their quarters, leaving only three en- zines on the ground to guard against fresh outbreaks.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-A severe test was made tonight of the freproof qualities of the new Mount Morris Theater at Third ay- snue and One Hundred and Thirtieth street, and the precautions which had been taken in the building of the theater proved capable of checking what might have been terrible condagration. A fire in the adjoining building of the Third Avenue Railroad company ragged for two hours, but was kept from the theater by:a partition wall whose only openings were protected by stout iron doors. A great deal of smoke poured into the theater, and the two mova- ble skylights, recently provided, were promptly opened and the smoke was soon carried of. The whole damage to the thea ter will not exceed $500, and the fire oc- cured before the audience had assembled no one was injured.
