THE BIG INDIANS SPEAK.

All But One Oppose Opening the Reser-
Walton on the Germs Stipulated by the
Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The Sioux
chiefs held conference with Secretary
Villas during the morning in one of
the interior department rooms. Secre-
tary Villas asked his visitors to speak
freely Of their objections to the law
providing for the sale of portion of
their reservation. Chief John Grass
was the principal speaker. He said he
did not oppose the bill as whole, but
only portions of it. He thought the
Indians ought to have $1.25 instead of
so cents an acre for their lands. He
said the government had not carried
out the obligations Of the treaties of
1868 and 1876, and asked why it had
not been done.
Sixteen other chiefs spoke, only one,
Big Name, of Lower Brule, being in
favor Of the measure as it stands.
When the Indians had concluded
speaking Secretary Villas told them all
that they had said would be laid before
the president. They would be informed
of his decision on Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock. He hoped they would
come prepared to either approve or dis
approve of his decision.
The conference then ad journed.

DEATHS HORRIBLE CARNIVAL


Sixty-two Persons Killed and ms Many
More Injured by the Collision Of Excur.
sion Trains. ~-x-.-.
SCRANTON, Pa. Oct. IA terrible
accident occurred on tho Lehigh Valley
road at a small station called Mud Run,
which resulted in the death of sixty
two persons and the serious injury of
as many more. Two excursion trains
heavily loaded had been run to Halle
ton in the morning where a Catholic
celebration was in progress. In return
ing in the evening the first three sec
tons had stopped at Mud Run station,
the third section being some distance
below the station. 1t is claimed that a
brakeman was sent back with a lantern
to signal the fourth section. The signals
were not observed, however, and the
fourth section, headed by two engines
came crashing in to the rear of the
third at full speed, the first engine go
ing its full length into the rear car. OF
all the persons in that car it is not
known that even one escaped alive.
The scene and confusion that i'm
mediately followed was indescribable-
The scalding steam escaping from the
shattered engine soon put an end to
the miseries of such as had not been
killed outright in the rear car. In the cars
ahead the sight was horrible. Mangled
bodies or torn limbs were pinned under
the wreck or hung dangling from broken
timbers, while the superhuman efforts of
the wounded to free themselves only
brought fresh groans from their fellow
victims.
The work of rescue was Immediately
begun and went on all night. Two car
loads of dead bodies were brought to this
city, from whence they were sent to their
former homes. Those of the wounded
who could be moved were brought to the
hospital here.
At Wilkesbarre, Hyde Park, Pleasant
Valley and other places from which the
excursion started the excitement was in
tense when news of the accident was re-
ceived. Anxious crowds beseiged the
telegraph offices all night for news of
friends and relatives who Were on the
Inflated train. Every station along the
line is plunged in mourning by the terri
BILE event. At the little village of Pleas
ant Valley public funeral was held
over twenty-nine of the victims Sunday.
At Scranton fifteen victims were in
tered. Thousands of people followed
the remains to the grave. Fifteen hearses
were in line.

AN INDIAN LOVE SONG.

His winter home the bear forsakes,
The red deer swims the shining lakes,
Up foaming falls the salmon leaps,
The wild sheep halts on dizzy sleeps,
The swans are northward flying.
With laughing voice the rivers run,
Their pillows flashing in the sun;
1t is the moon of sprouting grass,
A thousand warm sweet breezes pass,
Through lofty pine tops signing.
With bounding steps the antelope
Springs lightly down the mountain slopes
To verdant plains the bison hies,
The eagle mounts the morning skies,
And all the birds are mating.
With life and JOY all things are bright,
Come forth, my lovei my souls delight.
Thy wigwam's folds throw wide apart,
For thee, oh dear and tender heart,
Thy lover true Is waiting.

Commissioner stocISslager Decides APP
proved Entries Cannot be Cancelled.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10.---A large num-
Der of presumption and homestead cases,
now pending in the general land Office,
were suspended several years ago by
Commissioner Mcfarland, and certain
requirements made as to new proof
or new notice. When these require
lnents were fulfilled, it was the caution
to write letter in such case, stating
that the entry was approved for patent.
Commissioner Sparks, in many Of these
cases, made additional requirements and
again suspended the entries. Commits
sioner Stocklager has recently decided
that in all cases approved for patent, the
commissioner has no power to recall that
sction, and he has ordered the suspended
files in his Office to be examined and all
such cases tabulated for patent. It is
supposed that this order will effect sew
eral thousand entries.

The Pig Headed Passenger.

A correspondent wants to know why
railway companies do not arrange to have
all passengers go out at the front end and
enter at the rear end of a car. He doesn't
know the perversity of the average pas
senger, or he wouldn't ask this question.
If q railway company should try to en-
force such rule it would meet with the
pig headed opposition Of nearly half the
passengers in every car. Americans, in
dividually, are bright people, but in a
crowd they act as though they were not.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 1.-The day
has been very pleasant, and the reduced
number of cases and deaths causes a
cheerful feeling to prevail. There is
much gossip over the resignation of all
the visiting physicians, owing to an
anonymous article in an evening paper
declaring that they were drawing $500
month each, while home doctors got no
extra pay and suffered loss of income
through the absence of their more we'll
TODD clients. The article does not voice
the sentiments of the public, who ap-
preciate the services Of the visiting doc
tors, and it is hoped the designations will
be withdrawn.

A Chinese Opium Story.
Since the introduction of opium into
China millions and tens of millions have
given themselves up TO it's use, it's VIC
Tins being found in all the ranks and
conditions of life, among the old, the
middle aged, the young, and even chill
dren. But case of an infant becoming
o victim to its pernicious influence has
just come to our knowledge. A man and
his wife had been in the habit of taking
opium for years, and one of their chief de-
lights was in indulging themselves over
the pipe in each others company, each tax
ing alternate whiffs. One day the woman
gave birth to boy, and all the household
was IN an ecstatlc state or Joyfulness. but
before long the baby began to show signs
of illness, and although a physician was
sent for they could not discover the cause
of it's symptoms. Every effort was made
to save the child, but he only grew worse
and worse until his parents gave him up
for lost.
In despair they took their pipe. to
solace themselves, and behold as they
pulled at the pipe the smoke was waited
to the child's nostrils, and, giving a
sneeze, he instantly revived and began to
cry. Upon inhaling more of the smoke
he changed his crying into laughing and
was all right as long as he inhaled the
smoke at regular periods of the day.
One day, however, his parents neglected
to give him the accustomed dose of smoke
and before they were aware he died.
