TO TALK SLOW AND NOT BE FOOLS.
John Grass Gives Some Advice to the
Sioux Indians.
The Treaty still Rejected by the sus-
picious AborIgines.
Chairman Pratt's Advances Met
BY Mem ories of Other Treaties.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July GA Standing
Rock Agency special says: The ultimatum
of the Indians was given to the commission
ers yesterday. The Indians were in council
all Thursday night and after the speeches,
every Indian gave his assent to the PROPOSE
tion not to sign the treaty. John Grass,
who was chosen to present the ultimatum to
the commissioner, assisted by Gale and other
chiefs, referred to the former treaties broken
by the Whites and spoke about the Black
Hills treaty. Chairman Pratt had said their
lands could only be taken by consent of
three-quarters Of the Indians. "Now then,"
said Grass, did the Whites take the Black
Hills when they only got about 800 Indians
to sign. The Indians were fools then, as al
ways, in making treaties and we hope we
and our children will talk slow and not be
fools hereafter. You move other Indian
tribes among us off of land given the Whites.
We do not want this and the other tribes
will not like 1t either. The Whites still owe
us much under the treaty made years ago.
The government should give us what 1t now
owes before It asks for more. We do not UNI
for us to sign yes and one red, for us to
sign no. We will not sign either paper.
We say no. We have our crops to look after
and must get back to work. We will not
sign. We came here because our agent
asked us to and we did not want to shame
him. You cannot get us to sign"
After Grass had spoken, Gale was called,
but simply affirmed all that had been said.
Chairman Pratt told Grass he had no more
right to speak than any other indian. This
remark was resented by an Indian grunt all
around, and Grass said he had the same
right to speak for the Indians, who had
chosen him, as Pratt had for the whites. At
Pratt's request, the Indians finally agreed to
stay until Monday, but said their minds were
the treaty. Agent Mclaughlin, who has the
complete confidence of the Indians, has done
all he could to influence their signing, but to
no avail.
Gov. Church and Auditor Ward will be
down from Bismarck to Mondays confer
ence. There is little prospect, however, OF a
change in the sentiment.

THE WEEK AT BAR HARBoR.
Swarms of People who Have Not Put
In an Appearance.

BAR HARBoR, July 29.-It can hardly be
said that the season has been a pros porous
one for the hotels. None of them as yet has
its capacity taxed, for the swarms of people
which the more hopeful expected have not
put in appearance The hotels are tolerably
we'll filed and if they have paid expenses
they have been fortunate. One hotel, the
Des Isle, has not opened its doors, and it is
offered for sale. Most of the transients who
have come here have made their stay brief.
The few hops which have taken place at
the hotels have been fairly attended, but no
elaborate toilets have been displayed.
The arrival of Mrs. Daniel s. Lamont, the
estimable wife of President Cleveland's pri-
vate secretary, at her cottage at Sorrento
was quite an event in the social world of that
growing little seaside resort. Mrs. Lamont
came last Tuesday and brought her children,
two pretty little girls, and 6 years of age
with her. She was accompanied by Mrs. DIR.
Saunders and Miss Saunders of New
York, who are guests at her new summer
residence which has been christened the
Capital.
While Sorrento rejoices over the presence
of Mrs. Lamont on account of the official re-
lation that her husband holds to the Presi-
dent, Bar Harbor is also happy, because
Mrs. Secretary Whitney is coming here. She
will occupy the S. E. Lyon cottage at Duck
brook, which has been hired for the month
of August Mrs. Whitney entertained hand
somely when here last season, and her re-
turn will probably give an impetus to social
events.

Something About the Work of AIger
currier of HaIIoweII.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, July 29.-Mr. Alger V. Currier,
the widely known and talented young artist,
recently arrived at his home in Hallowell,
from Paris, where he has been studying for
thI ee years past under Carolus Duran, who is
distinguished as Que of the ablest instructors
in France. For two years Mr.. Currier has
maintained studio in Paris and his handi-
work has won the most favorable notice and
comment among French and American
artists. He has six paintings, besides many
studies, which will arrive in about month,
delay having been occasioned to allow
time for the reproduction of several of them.
A new art magazine. 'The Progress of
American Art in Europe" is soon to be
published in Paris. Its editors are to be the
directors of the Paris Association of Amer
ican Artists. Curriers' well known Salon
figure paintings Deesee la Sdnte are now
being reproduced for the magazine. He was
also given the right to reproduce his Deesee
to Ad. Braun 81 Co., photographers for the
French government. He has had five appli-
cations to reproduce his works, one coming
from the Appletons, of New York. The
young artist received over dozen favorable
notices from French publications and, before
he sailed, was elected a member of the
American Association of Artists. an honor
seldom accorded to an artist but 25 years of
age. The coming fall he will exhibit his
paintings in Portland, Boston, and New
York. During the summer Mr.. Currier
proposes to remain at his home in HALO
well where he will do some work for the
application, returning to France at no very
distant day

1t Comes Out of the workman.

turned from European trip, was asked at
the Hotel Oxford yesterday, what he had no.
ticed about free trade in Europe. He said:
While in Brussels, Belgium, last summer,

steel car springs, such as we use on our
freight cars. They received 60 cents per day

same work. asked the Belgian proprietor
why he didn't pay more. He said: II am

"Yes, for while"
How LONG ?"
"Why, till your men worked for GO cents

"But there are politicians in America" |
said, "who advise the laboring man to vote
for this same free trade"
"And the men listen?"
"Some ignorant ones do"
"Well," said the Belgian manufacturer,
instead of listening to demagogue. who
would decrease their high wages down to the
wages Of our poor people, your American la.
borers ought to drive such a demagogue out
of the country"

The Austrian Court Etiquette.

lBOStOn JOurnal COrreSpOndence.l
Austrian court etiquette is noted for being
very strict This is. above all things, mill
.tary nation, and severe military discipline
and rules are enforced even at court, mas
much as the chief members of it are military
men. When country is ruled by heredity
Princes they and they suites are naturally
always on dress parade before each other
as well as in public, and to keep up appear
ances it is necessary that the etiquette should
be strict, for, unless 1t were, the court would
lose its dignity, and become too democratic
in appearance The chief title to admission
to the court here is birth and military rank.
IL man has enough ancestors who were
mobiles his position Is assured, and If he can
count back iu an uninterrupted line sixteen
generations of mobiles In his family he is
called 'Kammerherr," and is given little
gold key by the Emperor, to designate his
right to enter the royal residence. / presume,
and he wears little strap on the back Of his
coat at the waist. The key, however, is
never attached 70 this strap, fun dUubt
they think that would look too ridiculous,
but when the strap Is seen one may know
that the wearer is a "Kammerherr," and con-
sequently noble Of high degree. Should
one of these "Kammerherrs" marry lady
beneath him in rank she would not be admit
ted to court, for in Austria wives do not take
the rank of their husbands, but her daughters
could attend the court balls with their father
as they have his position; this would be de-
cidedly unpleasant, to say the least, for the
mother but such a strict rule tends to make
the mobiles marry in their own rank. 1t is
the same with the wives of army officers,
who cannot go to court unless their own rank
by birth is high enough. The natural result
is that there are no persons in the Austrian
court who cannot count several noble ances-
tors. except officers Of the army and navy or
political fupctionaries whose position entitle
them to admission irrespective of their birth.
The present Empress Of Austria is very strict
as to the etiquette and costumes Of ali ladies
present at court. A story has been going the
rounds lately about a Countess who had a
presentation dress made at fashionable
man milliner's in Vienna, who is patronized
by the Empress. 1t so happened that
unknown, to the Countess, her costume was
an exact copy of one of the Empress's Dress
es and the Emperor remarked it and told the
Countess how much she resembled his wife.
This was a great compliment to her, but one
that proved disastrous, for the Empress was
furious that any one had dared copy one of
her dresses, and gave orders that this partic-
ular Countess should never appear at court
again. I'll.

COMING TO THE FAIRS.
Representative Horses From Cana
dian Trotting and Working Stock.
Especial to the Press. ]

AUGUSTA, July 29.-Some of the finest
stock which the neighboring provinces of
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia can pro-
duce will be seen at our coming State fairs.
DR.. G. M. Twitchell, on his recent trip east,
was empowered to secure the attendance of
some of the most noted horses to be found
and was quite successful in this respect.
Visiting Amherst. N. S., he saw prominent
breeders there and obtained a pledge that
''Son of Nutwood." four year old stallion,
and other trotting stock would be exhibited
at the Maine fairs, besides several handsome
representatives of Black Perchelon stock.
While it was not possible to secure the entire
importation Of New Brunswick stations be-
longing to the government, DR.. Twitchell
says that visitors at the fairs may hope to see
the celebrated stallion, Harry Wilkes, one of
the Cleveland bays, one of the Shire horses,
and full blooded Clydesdale mare. with a
colt by her side, that is a wonder. 1t is now
ten weeks old and weighs over six hundred.
The mare is rich bay and weighs over 17OO
pounds. In addition, it is hoped that wean-
lings representing different families, may be
shown.

NOT OWNING THE 500 LINE.
A st. Paul, Minn., dispatch says the state
ment made in the Senate by Senator Cullom
to the effect that the 800" line had been
sold to the Canadian Pacific has been official
ly denied. President Washburn said: "The
500 is not owned by the Canadian Pacific,
nor does the Canadian Pacific have the least
interest in it whatever. This line is oper-
ated by its officers, who are Minneapolis
men. and the road is run and will continue
to be run in the interest Of Minneapolis, st.
Paul and the Northwest generally. Senator
Cullom has been worked upon by the Chica-
90 people, who are worried because the
trade of the Northwest is no longer in their
hands, but takes the natural and short cut
between the East and the West over the
500 line. As regards the ownership of the
bridge at Sault Ste. Marie, will state that
the Canadian Pacific owns a half interest.
