LOWER BRULE AGENCY, OAK. Sept.
25.-The first grand pOwwOw with the
Indians was called about 10 o'clock yes
terday forenoon, Capt. Pratt being the
first to address the assembled chiefs.
Each agency was fully represented.
Sitting Bull changed his mind at the
last moment and was present, as were
representative chiefs from each agency.
Capt. Pratt'S opening address was short,
he being followed by Rev. McClelland,
who thoroughly explained the bill,
using the map in order to explain the
outlines of the reservations 20 be created
by the bill. The Indians paid very
close attention to what was said, and
on the whole the councils were quiet
and orderly. Before adjOurning for
dinner Maj. Anderson made a
few remarks. He told the Indians he
was pleased at the close attention they
had paid to what was said, and told the
visiting Indians they were his guests,
and would be treated as such, but that
he would allow none of them to find
fault, or in other ways interfere with
the Indians who had already signed in
favor of the bill. The council in the
afternoon was called at late hour,
Judge Wright being the first to adj
dress the aSsemblage. He Informed the
Indians that the object of the commits
sion was not to make a treaty with
them, as no more treaties would ever
be made with the Indians, and that the
object was to introduce the new law to
them. He then gave general review
of the treaty of 1865, and told the In
dians what had been promised them
under that treaty, and that they had
never been offered bill of as much i'm
pOrtance as the present one, and that
they should think seriously of it. He
informed them that the treaty granting
them schools and teachers ran out this
year. and if they did not accept the
present bill the government would be
| under no obligations to grant them
schools, and that the schools would
close. He asked them how il
would suit them to have no schools for
their children to 60 to. As to the argu-
ment that they would not have land
enough left after relinQuishing the H.
! 100000 acres, the judge informed them
| that they would have about 1000 acres
| left for every Indian on the reservation,
more than they would ever use or need.
! The Judge closed by saying that by the
acceptance of the act the Indians would
gain the confidence of the great father,
obtain schools, and clear title to theiI
lands to do with as they pleased, and
that by refusing the bill they would
lose the confidence of the great father,
their schools, cattle, and everything
that would be of benefit to them. By
refusing the bill they would make then
enemies strong and their friends weak
At the close of Judge Wright's speech
| Capt. Pratt made a few remarks, and
informed the indians that tomorrow
| they would be expected to speak.

JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 25.-The situ-
alton here tonight is practically
unchanged, except that hopeful feel
ing that the worst of the epidemic is
over continues. While new cases are
developing very rapidly, the type of the
disease appears to be milder even than
before our equinoctial storms; and while
many people are very sick, the death
rate continues low. The official bulle-
tin for the twenty-four hours ending at
p. m. reports 143 new cases, of which
eighty-five are among the colOred peo-
pie. Only four deaths are reported,
viz: L. Burah, prominent citizen and
member of the city board of public
works; Mrs. Hall, colored; Otto Frip
and Miss Florence Stowe. Total
cases to date, 2,134; total deaths, 221.

thus far have failed, owing to the lack
of practical methods for putting them
into execution. Barr's block, in which
is located the bereau of medical aid and
nurses, presents busy scene, Uni
forms for the corps and saddle horses,
instead of cabs, for the physicians are
all that is required to give it the

A special from McCltnny reports eight
new cases of yellow fever and one death
that of Jonathan Law. Ample sup
plies for the present were yesterday
sent to McClenny by the sanitary asso-
Citations. The fever has never been epi-
demic on the south side of the river,
though several cases originating in the
city have developed on that side. There
have been no cases yet at
Pable, Burnside Beach or Mayport.
There have been about dozen deaths
in Fernandina duriug the past two
weeks. Stephen A Sessar, civil engi-
neer, died on Sept. 16. On Friday,
Sept. %, the Nassau county board Of
health denounced the reports of
yellow fever in Fernandina as un-
true, DR.. Palmer not agreeing to
the statement. but being Out-voted
six to one, and the mayor
and other prominent officials and citi-
zens indorsed the denial. 1t was only
yesterday, when it became known that
the town would be inspected by ma
rine hospital surgeon, thatthe presence
of yellow fever was acknowledged.
The fact of fever outbreak was con-
cealed by the officials for month, it be-
ing an open secret in Fernandina and
many having quietly left the place.
The action of the Nassau county board
is considered an inexcusable outrage on
points in the state such as Gainesville,
that have been In communication with
that town, and is in striking contrast
with the publications of the first sus-
picious case that came to Jacksonville.

make can be forwarded to the proper

II o'clock tonight the bells Of Canton
rang out the alarm of fire, and
within twenty minutes the whole

scene of the confagratiOn. The fire had

as if the whole city was doomed.
The fire spread very rapidly
from building to building until
fourteen places of business and the
business center of the beautiful

roaring flames, whose sparks shot up
wards and lighted the sky for miles
