sign. Speeches were made by Gall, Mad
Bear, Sitting Bull and other chiefs Sit.
ting Bull said he was opposed to the
treaty, and as many Indians had crobs 60
look afler there was no use Of keeping them
in council longer. Gall said ne would
never sign either paper and that this
was final. Pierre correspondent says:
Direct and reliable information tonight

opposition to signing the treaty. lnteIli-

The power of a windmill has been sue
cessfully applied to the generation of
electricity for domestic purposes by
Prof. Blyth of the Glasgow philosophic
al society. The windmill was fthe old
fashioned kind, with four arms each
thirteen feet long. The dynamo was
belted directly to the lily wheel OF the
mill, and charged twelve cells of s or
age battery. The current was u ed
both for light and for driving a turning
lathe. Ten eight candle power mean
descent lamps were supplied with cur
rent to spare; and good breeze for
halfa day stored electricity enough for
the light required on four evenings of
three or four hours each.

Reporters Not Avoided.
From The Mem York SIM.

1t would appear that a change has oc-
Cured in the tactics of the administration
toward reporters When the President left
Albany to be inaugurated every effort was
made 20 keep his departure and the progress
of the journey from the newspaper men,
The same course has been pursued on a
number of other flying trips of the Presi-
dent so that the reporters when sent out to
find the President, spoke of the jobs as
President hunting" On the last visit of
the President things were different, Col.
Lamont even sending for the reporters to
tell them of any change in the programme.
The colonel was also genial and cordial and
obliging. No one has yet accounted for the
change, but it is related that it was brought
about after a talk the President had with
a newspaper man. 1t is stated
that the President was then told that the
people of the United States had perfect
right to know the whereabouts of their Presi-
dent The story goes that the President
was distinctly informed that the reporters
weren't chasing after Mr.. Cleveland, but
after President Cleveland, and that tie
people must know quickly if any accident
or harm befell him. The only way this
could be done was through the press
Moreover, the President was assured that
there was no disposition on the part of the
manly ones in the profession to bother him
for political interviews or anything con-
corning governmental affairs. This was
demonstrated on the Presidents last visit
There were regiments of reporters about
him. but all they wanted was to keep track
of him to see that he didn't fall overheard,
and to faithfully record the results of his
fishing campaign. He became so convinced
of this that toward the last of his trip he
smiled upon them. And they smiled back
at him.
