The Sioux.

WASHINGTON, Oct 22-The Sioux have
split into two factions More than fifty Of
the sixty-seven Indians here have signed a
protest against the propositions of the gov
ernment. The rest have signed letter de-
nouncing their companions for inconsistency,
saying that it was agreed between them be-
fore coming to Washington that they would
not ask more than 5000, 900, whereas they
now want $l3, 10000
The majority have formally notified Sec
retary Villas that the government proposi
tions are rejected, They submitted coun
ter proposition, agreeing to accept ST. 25 per
acre for their lands; the money to be paid at
once. This proposition, the secretary de-
clared, could not for moment be enter.
tanned by the government. The Indians
were presented to the president this after
noon, and have left for their reservations.
This concludes the negotiation under the
new law, which was opened some months
ago by the appointment of the Sioux COM
mission. Secretary Villas expressed the
opinion that the rejection by the Indians of
his propositions was due to the fact that the
execution Of the law would break up tribal
relations and deprive these chiefs of their
present authority and standing.

ment embracing all the circumstances in
connection with the illness Of the distin
guished sufferer.
Justice Matthews" he said "is suffering
from a chronic ailment. but is steadily i'm
proving and is now much better than at the
time of his return to this city, about four
months ago The only reticence that has
been shown is inspired by feelings that the
details of sickness were of no interest to the
public and not from any desire to conceal
the real conditiYl of things. The nature OF
his illness was primarily indigestion, chiefly
confined to the intestines, which resulted in
an impaired state of nutrition and in an al
teration of the blood known as lith9nia.
This predisposes to rheumatic and gouty
attacks and the judge has suffered from
time to time with attacks of muscular pain,
lasting for few days While the improve
pent in such case is necessarily slow, there
is no alarm felt about him, and there is
every indication to think that the progress
toward recovery will continue. The judge
has been in bed as a matter of precaution,
although he has sufficient strength to be up.
He received a number of callers, among
them being some of the members of the su-
pyene court and the chief justice, look
forward to his resuming his seat on the
bench, but as to the ex1ct time I cannot say.
The weather and various other conditions
will effect that result"

FRANKFORT. KY, Oct. 22.--Hanson Ora
ham, John Glore, Robert Glore and "Duck"
Williams were quarrying stone at the
United States lock just below this city FRI
day morning, when they were blown up by
dynamite. They had put four sticks of dyn-
amite in the whole, but it failed to explode
They then proceeded to drill it cut and, of
course, an explosion followed.
Graham had an arm broken and both eyes
blown out, and the bone just above the left
eye was shattered. His right arm was Bit
terly bruised and torn. He cannot recover
John Chores left hand was blown entirely
off and his right fore arm was SO shattered
that it had to be taken off. He had several
severe contusions on the head, and he can
hardly recover.
Robert Chores arms were very much
lacerated and had several severe bruises and
cuts on the body, but his wounds are not
fatal
Williams, who was standing a little apart
from the others, escaped very lightly, re-
ceiving few slight cuts and bruises about
the head by the flying stones.

DIexico.s panoinr Nutmeg.

A gentleman recently returned from
Mexico brought with him curious OBJ
jet, which would be of great interest to
lovers of natural history. He produced
a segment of a Mexican nut, which was
not unlike nutmeg in texture, and
placed it in the palm of his hand, closing
his fingers closely around It.
After a moments Imprisonment the
hand was opened and the little section Of
the nut rested on its rounded side, upon
which it rocked convulsively. The hand
WAS closed again for few seconds.
When it was opened again the mysterious
piece of wood appeared full Of animation
and leaped as gayly as a toad Then the
gentleman explained the principle and
cause of the movements tasss-
There is, said he, ''a small worm. in
that nut, which is dormant until its tenn,
perature is raised to that of the human
body-about 90 dogs. When this is
reached the little insect, which is not
more than a sixteenth Of an inch in
length, is revived from its torpid state
and causes the spasmodic motion. The
nut is indigenous to Mexico; land IS
usually inhabited by the worm from the
early part of August until the arrivals Of
the following summer. It can be revived
for nine months in cold climate.-Phl.
