carefully considering the matter the sec
rotary was instructed to at once notify the
violators of the law. In cases where
complaint IS made against a druggist the

THE sIouxTREATY QUESTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The members of
the Sioux commission. Capt. Pratt, of the
Carlisle Indian school; Judge John V.
Wright, of the interior department, and
Rev. Mr. Cleveland, who arrived here yes
terday, expressed themselves today as con-
fident of ultimate success in obtaining the
acceptance of the treaty. 1t is thought,
however, that it may be necessary for the
government TO first grant certain conces-
sions upon which the Indians have thus far
insisted. Up to the time the commission
left the territory they had obtained 3SS
signatures accepting the treaty. Out of
the 800 Indians at the Crow Creek agency
us had signed. 240 out of $50 at the Lower
Brule agency had signed, but out of the
100 at Standing Rock but twenty-four
signatures were obtained. The commits
sioners say that they encountered the most
determined opposition at the nrst named
agency. Even before the commission ar
rived in the territory general council of
the Indians was held At the Rosebud
agency, at which a compact was entered
into, solemnized by an oath by
the Great Spirit, not TO sign
any paper which the commits
sion might bring The Indians assert
more than 80 cents per acre, the stipulated
price, and they object to the provision of
the treaty which prevents all save home
steaders from purchasing the surrendered
lands. and by which, instead of realizing
30 cents per acre for the whole, they Will
receive the 80 cents for only such as is fit
Tor agricultural purposes.
They demand Sl.25 per acre for the
whole II, zoe 900 acres, but it is the opinion
of the commission that they will accept 50
cents per acre for the whole. They object
generally 10 entering into any new agree
ment with government until the old ones
have been fulfilled. In the opinion of
the Ecommisslon the only substan-
tial and well founded objection
which the Indians have urged
against the treaty is ...e one OF
price, and it is probable that they viii
urge the government TO pay the - cents
per acre for the whole amount, 1900. COZ
acres. This proposition. it is believed, the
Ind will accept. The delegation OF

NEW YORK, Oct 5--The delegates to the
Tammany county convention met tonight
at the wigwam and nominated straight
out Tammany county ticket. The leaders
were in conference all day and many mes
sages were exchanged with the leaders of
the county Democracy. Tammany sub
mitted five names to the Counties" as the
only ones upon whom they could unite.
The first two, Grant and Dugdo, were re-
jected promptly, and finally ODonohue
and Cox were ruled OUT Roswell 2.
Flower was the only one acceptable to the
Counties and the latter asked for more
time to consider the question of his nom
ination. Feeling that they had waited
long enough the Tammany lead
ers decided to select their own can
didates and proceeded with the
work in convention. 1t is understood that
some members Of the national committee
went to the city hall this afternoon and
asked Mayor Hewitt to withdraw, but he
positively declined. Resolutions were
unanimously adopted pledging the support
of the organization for the national and
state Democratic tickets. A special reSo-
luton recited that the county Democracy
had disregarded all Overtures and called
for the nomination of an independent
ticket The resolution was adopted. Con-
gresham William Bourke Cochran then
mounted the platform and received a
hearty welcome. He said it was the duty
of the people alone to nominate candidates
free from the dictation of newspaper ed
itors. He alluded to Mayor Hewitt as a
man so palsied in mind and narrow in
views that he would well nigh disenfran.
chise aliens. Mr. Cochran concluded with
the words: "All who prefer Hugh J. Grant
to Abram S. Hewitt for mayor of this city
| know will second his nomination"
Sheriff Grant was nominated for the
Office of mayor by acclamatio5
OF the nomination, the Tribune (Rep)
will say editorially tomorrow: ''The
Grant for mayor unquestionably means a
triangular contest for that important
office Tammany had the power to name
a candidate that would put Mr.. Hewitt out
of the field. Mr.. Hewitt has said SO re-
peatedly, but he will not refuse to run
against Mr.. Grant. Personally Mr..
Grant is an amiable gentleman and
possesses no particular strength as can
didate for mayor. He will be loyalty sup
ported by the Tammany organization, of
which he is a leader. That is all that can
be said"
OF Tammany's nomination the Sun
Oem.) vii tomorrow say editorally:
1--WE had hoped that the leaders
OF Tammany might see the way to
put Mr.. Hewitt in nomination once
again and to give him their
support, but such was not their view OF
the question and they have followed their
own Judgment as they had the most per-
feet right to do. They confidently expect
to elect their candidate and no Intelligent
man can deny that if they succeed they
will elect an honest and upright and vir-
tuOuS man.
