LA FAYETTE, Oct. 1S.-Ir. Blaine, Cen
eral Alger, General Gibson and other dis.
tinguished speakers arrived at Battle
ground at 12:40. Booming cannon an
nounced their arrival to the assembled
thousands and brought an enormous crowd
to the station. Ten thousand people clam
ored around the little station and the con-
fusion was very great. The tabernacle
stands IN the center of the grove on the
high ground Of the historic battlefield. AS
early as o'clock the mammoth building
was crOWed to suffice alton with 1000 clam
oring on the outside to get in. Mr.. Blaine
was not feeling we'll, having caught a
snght cold last night, so he did not speak,
put contented himself with waving his
handkerchief tothe crowd. Speeches were
made by Dick Thompson, General Aiger
aud others present despite the confusion.
HIS THROAT TROUBLING HIM.
CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Mr. Blaine and his
party arrived at Chicago at 8 O'Clock this
evening. 1t was not generally known at
battle-ground that Mr.. Blaine would leave
so early, but his throat trouble caused a
change of programme and was the reason
OF his early departure r Chicago. At the
request of Mr.. Blaine the officials of tile
Monon line did not permit their employees
to telegraph along the line that Mr.. Blaine
was en- route. His general health seems
to be excellent. but the slight cold he con-
ana prevents utterance above low tone
of voice.

The President Lays Before the Chiefs
Some Amendments to the Pro.
posed Treaty,
Which He Will Recommend to Con.
gress Providing They Will, he
Accepted if Passed.
The Chiefs Take the Matter Under
Consideration and Will Probably
Answer To-day.
Good Feeling Manifested.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE secretary of
the interior to-day met the Sioux chiefs and
read and carefully explained the changes
which the president had decided to recon-
mend to congress, provided the Indians
signify willingness to accept the law
with the proposed amendments. He COM
plimented the Indians on their manly
speeches and declared that the government
was deeply interested in their welfare.
The proposed changes are: First, the gov
ernment will place to the credit of the In
dians 81 for every acre of land disposed of
to homesteaders during the first three
years after the passage of the law and Is
cents per acre for all lands so disposed of
during the next two years and so cents per
acre for all lands disposed of after the ex-
piration of these five years. Instead of
Sa,o1.o0O being now set apart for the ben
efit OF the Indians s2,oOo,00o shall be set
OF this amount $50 shall be paid each man,
woman and child within six months from
the passage of the act-this in addition
to the payments which the present
act calls for. Instead Of being
supplied with oxen the president
proposes that each head of a family be sup
Pteu W!Cu pair OF American mares and
double harness. By the proposed amend
ment the Santees and Flandreans are pre-
venting from sharing with the Sioux in the
proceeds of the contemplated sale. The
last amendment provides that all allot-
ments shall be absolutely free from taxa
ton for twenty-five years. Other minor
changes are made. The chiefs took the
matter under consideration and will re-
port to the secretary probably tomorrow,
when they will recommend to their tribes
the rejection or acceptance of the law as
amended

FT. WAYNE, IND, Oct. 17.-The day of
the big barbecue dawned clear and bright
and early this morning crowds began to ap.
pear on the streets. Judge Thurman arose
at o'clock, after quiet and refreshing

to take him by the hand. The procession
formed at noon and after marching through
the streets which were lined with people,
went to the Hamilton tlelds in the south
ern part OF the city where three speaking
stands had been erected for the procession,
Bandana handkerchief dresses, coats and
umbrellas of bandana red, gave brilliant
appearance to the parade. Governor Gray,

AN AGED DEMOCRATS OFFERING.
Fred. j. Haven of of Fort Wayne on be-
half of NJ. B. Masters, who has voted the
democratic ticket for fifty years, presented
the judge with hickory cane which had
been cut and suitably engraved by Mr..
Masters. In response Judge Thurman said:
"This l take to be hickory. 1t looks very
much like it and it looks as if should that
end OF it fall on the head of republican
it he was a mean mamie would be mighty
apt to go down." This response was made
after his regular speech which was brief
and was followed by short talks to the
people on the other side of the stand who
had been unable to see and hear him as
they wished. He was in good voice and
seemed to have suffered no exhaustion
from the severe handshaking ordeal
through which he passed.

Another Appeal for Representation from

EDITOR TRIBUNE: did not write that
short article about the Second district COM
mfsstonership with any thought of follow
ing it up with argument. thought if
your attention and the attention of the
business men of the city OF Bismarck, who
reside in the Second district and vote at
the green house precinct, was called to the
attempt to deprive the entire central and
eastern part of Burleigh county-the most
heavily settled and best improved from
representation on the county board, that
you and all fair minded citizens would
take interest in our behalf and support a
resident OF our section. But we are now
told that Mr.. Healy knows our wants bet
ter than Mr.. Skinner does-that he is a
very honest man-that he above all others
is the country peoples friend. 1t is strange
that at every county election some one is
sprung on the voters as the countryman's
friend-who. when trailed home, resides in
Bismarck. One time it is one gang that
yells 1--WE know what you want better than
you do''-then another year the other gang
springs into the ring denouncing the first
gang, but demand Bismarck man as the
only way to get even. "It's heads we win,
tails you lose." When will you let up on
this bare-faced deception? You have the
county seat and all the county officers ex-
cept Commissioners Neal and johnson,
ana NO matter what county officers you
elect this fall, with the exception of the
commissioners OF the Second and Third
districts, they will become residents of Bis
marck. You have the capital, all the fed
eral and territorial officers, you have ex-
pended thousands Of dollars in the west
end OF the county,leven located the county
farm nine miles north of Bismarck, away
from railroad advantages. Mr.. Healy got
in his work in that deal. We in the east.

from five to thirty miles, to pay our tax,
serve as jurors, sell our produce and buy
our supplies,and still your leading business
men 1--WE are told) are demanding that all
this section shall surrender its only voice
in county affairs. We are told that as Mr..
Healy tried at one time to secure five MEM
bers on the county board-that justifies
him and his supporters in now dcpriving
US OF any-that he once thought us deserv-
ing OF what we might get out of five, but
are now not deserving of the only one
ism. This is my last communication on
this subject. [ will watch the turn of the
political whee! hoping that the citizens of
Bismarck residing in the Second commits
sioner district will deal fairly with, and
vote for our neighbor, Mr.. Skinner. He is
worthy, Intelligent, iDductrious man.

Enjoying a Vacation.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Much surprise and
dissatisfaction was expressed by the cable
car men of the North division when they
reported for duty this morning and were
Informed that the grip cars were hereafter
to be run by new men hired during the
late strike. The old employees were allowed
to run the grip cars yesterday and they
supposed that they would continue to do
SO: BY this arrangement about 100 of the
old men found themselves with nothing to
do to-day.
NEW GRIPMEN CAUSE MUCH DELAY.
The inexperience of the new gripmen
resulted in the cables being broken in sew
eral places. Twenty cars were stalled
this evening in the LaSalle street tunnel
and just when the traffic is unusually
brisk. A riot occurred at North avenue
and Halsted street. Two horse cars driven
by new men were shOwered with rocks and
nearly demolished by the angry crowds
on the side walks. Only the arrival of a
patrol wagon saved the imported car men
from being stoned to death within the
cars where they had taken refuge. Quite
a number of passengers were hurt by
missiles before escaping from that prox-
unity to the hotel.
