TRUTH ABOUT JUDGE MATTHEW'S.
DR.. Johnston Says the Alarming Ru.
mOrs Published are NOS Justified by
HIS Condition.

Various reports have lately appeared at inter
vals to the effect that Justice Matthews is much
more seriously Ill than his physician and family
are willing to have known. At the house these
reports have been steadily denied, and visitors
have been told that the judge was improving. In
order to learn the exact nature OF Justice Mat
thews condition STAR reporter called this morn
ing on DIR. w. W. Johnston who has been In at
tendance. He expressed himself as being greatly
surprised at the continued appearance OF the SEN
sational reports, which he proclaimed to be wholly
unfounded.
"Justice Matthews" he said, ais suffering with
q chronic ailment, but is steadily improving and
Is now much better than at the time OF his return
10 the city, about two months ago. The only reti-
cence which has been shown is inspired by
Feelings that the details or illness were OF no
interest TO the public and not from any
desire TO conceal the real condition OF things.
Inc nature OF his illness was primarily indigestion,
ch1eny confined to the intestines which resulted
IN an impaired state OF nutrition and In atera-
tion or the blood, known as lithpmia. This pre-
dlspoSes to rheumatic anc equity attacks and the
Judge has suffered from time 70 time with attacks
OF muscular pain, lasting for few days. While
the improvement In such a case is necessarily
slow, there is no alarm felt about him, and there
Is every reason to think that the progress toward
recovery will continue. The Judge has been IN
bed as matter OF precaution, although he has
sufhcient strength to be up. He receives a num-
Der OF callers, among them being some OF the
Justice. look forward to his resuming his seat on
the bench, but as to the exact time cannot say.
The weather and various other conditions will af-
feet that result"

The Sioux Indians have been in council nearly

Villas At 80 this afternoon they were still
smoking and talking, apparently farther remove
from an acceptance OF the Secretarys ofYer than
on yesterday. Most OF the chiefs want one dollar
and quarter per acre all round for their land.
To-day one OF them proposed to the council that
they make an ofer to sell at 81 per acre, and this
proposition found considerable support. Il was
this 81 suggestion that was engaging the atten-
ton Of the council during the afternoon.
Capt Pratt, one OF the Commissioner. yisited
the Interior Department at noon and saw Secre-
tary Villas Tor a few mOments He spoke hopefully
OF the outcome saying they had made proQress
enough TO get some OF the chiefs TO state In Wrtnc
