LoSpoS, Sept. 22.-Poor Queen Victoria is

week letter has been addressed to her which,
it is officially declared. has. by its want of 10y
atty. filed the Queen with grief. Lewis Lyons.
a Socialist tailor who displays deplorable lack
of respect for royalty. has written to the Queen
the following letter:
'Madame-A royal commission on sweating
will assemble in November to receive further
evidence of the sweating system. May | ask
your Majesty whether you will give me permis-
sion 10 send your Majestys name to the COM
mittee, 10 order that you may be able co give
evidence and to tell the committee what is paid
for the raiments of the royal household, in what
sweaters dens they are made and how much tho
poor workers receive for their long hours of

The fact is that at one Of the sittings or the
committee on the starvation labor system, it
was SHOWN that tho magnificent embroidery of
her Majesty's carriage cushions had been worked
by cripple living 10 a garrst and paid bare
" sufficient to keep off starvation. This fact, of
course, makes Lewiss disloy al letter all the more
painful to the Queen.
Rather more cheerful reading for her Majesty
il furnished in a recent publication of figures
showing the amount of money at the Queens
disposal. The best source of income from the
public purse appears to be f380 600 which she
gets annually from the consolidated fund, but
there are lots Of other things, such as q little
estate paying t20 600 year, the million sterling
to which the fortune left by the late Prince Con-
sort now amounts, her own savings, which are
notOriously enormous, and numerous largo
pieces Of property left by loyal subjects. An
unfortunate fact, however, is that these fig
ures could probably be used in the House of
Commons to defeat request which her Majesty
will make for more money to keep the Prince Of
Wales and his family comfortable.

they we're subjected to a pressure of l 900 tons,

the results. Tests were also made as 70 the

T., Sept 23.-The big powewow of Indians to
consider the question of signing was held here
yesterday and ended with q dramatic scene.
Tbs Sioux from all over the reservation came in
with their wagons and ponies yesterday morn
ing aud ssenoled IN q hollow a few miles below
Standing Roex. For several days Sitting Bull
has been actively engaged In securing aid ia his
sndeavor TO defeat the signing Of the treaty. and
has sent runners all over the reservation TO urge
tbs chiefs and braves to attend the pow-wow.
and in tbe absence OF Chief Grass assumed to be
leader. The crafty old savage stiil feels ugly
over the fact that Chief Grass, and not be. was
seat TO Washington. He urged the Indians not
70 sign and limited at treachery on the part OF
Chief Grass. AT the close of Sitting Bulls
characteristic speech be was greeted with tre-
mendous applause. Black Thunder said they
had buried the hatchet- The men they call
commissioners came there 10 get the Indians to
sign. but no sensible Indian will sign it. The
Indians listened breathlessly TO Black Thunder
and At his abrupt conclusion he was received
with deafsning cheers of encouragement.
Young White Cloud, a graceful handsome
young Sioux, ascended the little knoll Of ground
used as a speakers stand. and said: 81 have
listened TO the talks OF our old leaders, Sitting
Bull and Black Thunder They are opposed to
the treaty. They speak too hastily and rashiy.
Their words should oe carefully weighed before
leaving the tongue. They know not what they
say. The treaty is Tor oar benefit, and ], for
one, shall sgn.D
A dead calm followed the utterances of the
young brave. Not move was made or q sound
heard among that mass Of red blankets. Sitting
Bull slowly emerged ftou the crowd OF braves
and made sign 20 his followers, who made a
rush for the young brave. whose fate was surely
sealed but for the sudden and unexpected APP
pearance Of Chief Call, who ordered the indians
back. Sitting Bul and Black Thunder, after
making lane expss ations of the affair, SUNK
away. It is possible that Calls sudden break
ing up of the pov-wow will put an end to the
holding of any future eo1ncils.
