THE BIG INDIANS WIN,
With Few Exceptions the Sioux
Chiefs Secure Their
Requests.
Secretary Villas Explains the Conclu'
sions Reached By Himself and
the President.
The Indians Are to Reply as Soon as
Possible, Which Will Be When
They Get Ready.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.--Secretary'N vi
terror department. and laid before them
the conclusions reached by the president
II himself upon the proposition of the
Indians as expressed IN the first confer
rnce upon the bill to rclinquish a portion
OF their reservation. BY these new terms
it is agreed that for lands belonging to
the Indians entered for homestead settle
ments within three years from the date
when the act shall have taken effect, 81
per acre shall be paid; for all lands thus
entered after five years thereafter, 10
cents per acre., and for all such lands en-
tered after five years. so cents per acre.
.Atter five years, it is stipulated congress
may provide for any disposition of the
lands remaining unsold which shall he
deemed proper, provided that not less
than 30 cents per acre is placed to the
credit of the Indians. 1t is also granted
that instead of 81, 900, 900 mentioned in
the act, $ 1900, 900 shall be appropriated.
From this sum, six months after the bill
becomes a law, $50 shall be paid to each
Indian, of whatever sex or age. This
payment does not affect the right of the
Indian to the allotment of 500 provided
for in the bill. The funds provided for
by this act shall be divided by the secre-
tary of the interior into six separate
funds corresponding with the reserva-
tions. which are to be established, the
division to be regulated according to the
number of Indians receiving rations at
the said reservation. The Santec Sioux
Indians are excluded from the provis-
ions of this act. Adult Indians upon
making an allotment of land, it is pro-
vided. shall have a span of American
mares with double harness instead of a
yoke of oxen, if he chooses, besides one
mich cow, agricultural implements,
tools, seeds, and money provided for in
the act.
The secretary explained these condi-
tions at length. and said that he wanted
the Indians to make up their minds be-
fore they left the city whether they
would accept the terms OF not. The rat
ification of all adult Indians has to be
obtained in II event.
The Indians said they would let the
secretary know when they had reached
Il decision.
In case the Indians accept the new
terms, they must be enacted into a law
by congress.
With the exception of receiving $1.25
per acre and the payment Of the entire
amount in a lump, the Indians by these
qualifications obtained what they asked

A Dominion Paper Charges the Govern

the Fisheries Question.
New YORK. Oct. 1s.--The World pub
fishes the following special dispatch from
Toronto, Ont: 1t is thought that the
Dominion government intends to back
down on the fisheries question. The
Free Press, of London, Ont. which voices
the views of Minister of Agriculture
Carling. takes the ground that Canada
had better yield. After reviewing the
question of transshipment of fish in bond.
it says: Would it not be well that Cam
ada should waive her rights under the
treaty of 1918 and he willing, under the
altered condition of things in respect to
carriage by rail. to permit American
fishermen the privilege of making use of
our lines for the purpose of forwarding
their legitimate catch to the general
market: We frankly confess that we
would be in favor of such a concession"
The editorial concludes that in resisting
the American contention Canada is
standing in her OWL light. The article

will be another strike on the North side,
This was decided at a meeting of the

present. The subject of another strike
was brought up as soon as the meeting

by the following communication to

To William Boldenweck. Mayor of
Lake View:--We, the drivers and con-

quest you to act in conjunction with the

From the time the foregoing commune

ANOTHER LEHleH WRECK.

Construction Train Smashed by n Fast
Freight Train Near Lost Creek. Pa.
WILKELBARRE. Pa, Oct. 17.--Another
terrible accident has occurred on the
Lehigh Valley railroad. A construction
train was unloading ties at the Tamand
siding near Lost Creek, on the Potts
vile branch, when a fast Pennsylvania
freight came along and dashed into
the construction cars. OF the forty
Hungarians who were at work unload
ing ties. six We're killed outright and
twenty.six injured. a brakeman on the
Pennsylvania train was killed outright.
Twenty of the freight cars were
wrecked. 1t was three hours before
help could be procured and during that
time the injured lost so much blood
that it is feared many of them will die.
The accident was caused by a failure
on the part of those in charge of the con-
struction train to flag the approaching
train. The freight train was running on
telegraph orders to make a siding and
allow the passenger train to pasS.
