NOT YET TO BIZ OPENED,
Treaty with the Sioux Indians
viii Have 10 BE Ratified
by Congress.
Report That the Presidents Procla.
nation is All That Is Necessary
Is Erroneous.
Civil Service Commissioners Will In.
yestigate Minneapolis PostofIicc
Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Numerous
kilograms have been received in this city
asking for information in regard to the
Sioux Indian lands, and many persons
appear to have the impression that the
presidents proclamation is all that is
now needed to make the lands part of
the public domain and open to set
tlement. This impression is not founded
OH the law and is erroneous. One of the
acts Of congress requires that congress
shall ratify any agreement made with
the Indians before the agreement shall
become of effect, and it will therefore be
necessary for the report of the commits
mission to be sent to congress and ia
vorable action taken thereon before the
president can declare the lands open to
settlement. 1t will be good while be-
fore settlers can so upon the lands.

HER NAME WAS FULLER.

Cincinnati Gossips Figure Out an Eiopc-
ment for Another Daughter ofthe Chief
Justice.
CINCINNATI, Aug. l4.-Charles Kers-
teter and Miss Marion Fuller arrived in
town from Chicago and registered at the
Burnet house, where they engaged the
finest set of rooms. They registered
from Chicago. The gentleman called in
a number of prominent people, and ac-
companied by several friends they went
to Covington, KY, and were quietly
married. They returned to this city
and left in the evening for
Chicago. IL appeared to be a
case Of elopement Of well connected peo-
pie and an investigation has resulted in
the theory that the bride is Chief Justice
Fuiier's daughter. The groom is in busi-
ness on La Sale street in Chicago. 1t is
only few months ago that Mr.. Fuller's
youngest daughter eloped to Milwaukee
and was married. The bride is tall,
very pretty blonde, and gave her age as
23 years. The gentleman is fine-look-
ing man of medium height, with small
dark mustache and dark hair. He gave
his age as 20 years. .... ..

John Browns Scaffold.

BALTIMORE, Aug. l3.--The Suns spe-
cial from Charlestown, w. Va, says:
John T. NJ. Coyle & Co. have sold to
James B. Colt, Of Washington, ID. c.,
the lumber of the scaffold on which the
notorious John Brown was hanged on
Friday, Dec. 2, 1859. After the execu-
ton the county sold the lumber of the
sc2ffold to David B. Cockrell, carpen-
ter, who built porch of it on the prop
erty of Mr.. Sheets in 1860. The porch
stood until two years ago, when the
property was bought by John HI. Coyle,
who organized a company and began to
negotiate with admirers of John Brown
for the sale Of the scaffold lumber. The
lumber is accompanied by the affidavits
of all the parties through whose hands
it passed since 1859. Joseph Cockrell,
son of David Cockreil, has framed it for
Mr.. Colt into scaffold of the same size,
shape and form of the original scaffold.
The lumber has been kept under lock
and guarded as great treasure since
1887. Mr.. Colt shipped it Saturday last
to Washington.

REEDS CHANCES GOOD.

Democrats Say the Republicans Need
just Such q Man for Speaker.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-In an inter
view Hon. J. NJ. jackson, who holds a
certificate from the Fourth West Vir-
ginia district, but whose seat in the next
house will be contested by the Republi-
can candidate, Charles B. Smith, said to
reporter: Undoubtedly the Republi-
cans will try to change the rules and
scat all their contestants early in the
session. To do this it will be necessary
to have an audacious man in the chair.
Neither Cannon nor Mckinley can be re-
lied upon to do the unconstitutional
acts. Therefore believe that
REED WILL BE MADE SPEAKER.
He is bold enough to declare a quorum,
as did Keifer, by saying that he sees one
present, whether a quorum votes or not.
The Democrats should act entirely on
the defensive and insist that matters
shall take their accustomed course, and
that the old rules shall govern. But
then the new states are yet to be heard
from. Several Republican members are
already hors du combat. We had better
wait

TO INVESTIGATE ANkENY.

The Civil Service Commission Will In
vestigate Postoffice Affairs at Minneap-
oils.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Complaint
has been lodged with the civil service
commission against Postmaster Ankeny,
of Minneapolis, of having made "divers
and sundry" appointments in his Office
in violation of the civil service law. The
complaint is sworn to by reputable
citizen of Minneapolis. 1t is learned
that the appointments wer" something
in the same line as those made by Post
master Paul, Of Milwaukee, where the
reports of civil service examiners were
manipulated in favor of Democratic ap-
plicants and against Republicans. 1t is
probable that commissioner Roosevelt,
who is now enjoying vacation at his
Dakota ranch, will be notified and may
make the investigation before his re-
turn.

TAHLEQUAH, /. T., Aug. 14.-Chief
Mayes has not yet returned an answer
to the proposition of the commission. 1t
was reported yesterday afternoon that
he will say that it will not avail any
thing to negotiate further at the present
time. The Cherokee constitution for
bids the sale of any lands belonging to
the nation, and no amendment to the
constitution can be made until the gen.
erai election in August, 1891. lie will
further ask the commission to make
their proposition more specific, that
there may be no Misunderstanding of its
terms by the next council.

Semi Annual Convention.

Change In the Representation by the
semi-Annual Convention.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. l4.-The ex.
ecutive committee of the National Re-
publican league met in semi-annual
session at Congress hall. The meeting
organized by the selection off James A.
Blanchard, vice president of the Ma
tional league for New York, as chair
man; Andrew B. Humphrey, secretary
Of the National league, acted in his off,
cial capacity. The committee on revis.
ion of the constitution of the National
organization, the power Of which was
delegated to the executive committee,
reported as follows: They have changed
the representation in the national con-
vention from four delegates to two dele
gates from each state to two delegates at
large from each state and two delegates
from each congressional district where
permanent league clubs have been estab-
lished. The president, treasurer and
secretary, the vice president and
members of the executive COM
mittee of the national organiza-
ton, together with the presidents and
secretaries of the several leagues, are by
the revised constitution made ex-officio
delegates of the national convention.
This will make convention of 200
delegates. Each delegate will be enti.
tied to one vote.
Tuesday, March a, 1890, was desig-
mated as the date for the next national
convention. The place will be either
Nashville or Chattanooga. ~. l..
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that in states where delegates to the
national convention of 1890 shall have
been heretofore selected, and the delega-
tion from such state is increased by the
amendment of the constitution this day
adopted, the executive committee of the
state league Of such state shall have
power to select such additional delegates
without reconvening the convention.

Gives the Girls a Oh ance.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 14.-Acting Sec
retary Chandler, in his rulings, favors
the plucky Dakota girls who took home
steads. 1t was Sparks who objected to
Lessie Doran's final proof, and caused
her a great deal of trouble. She had a
claim in the Huron district, and lived
on it faithfully. After making proof
she was married, and moved to claim
adjoining with her husband. This act,
in the eyes of Sparks, stamped her as o
fraud, and he refused her proof. Secre-
tary Chandler reyerses the decision. The
lady is now Mrs. Sutphin and still owns
the land.

Against irvine slanufacture at the Prison

ST. PAUL, Aug. 14.--A report has been
made by the committee appointed by
the Minnesota board OF prison managers
ing twine and decide as to tho practical
bifity of employing the convicts at Still
water in making twine. The Committee
deems it unwise to attempt to employ
the convicts in such work because of the
high and uncertain prices Of raw ma
terial, because large amount OF expen-
sive machinery is srequired, because large
work rooms and storage warehouses
must be provided, and because the labor
forms so small portion of the finished
twine that it would be hopeless to ex-
pect any profit by manufacturing it in
the prison.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Postmaster
Lewis, of Atlanta, Ga, has not thought
the trouble over the appointment Of a
colored man in his Office of sufficient
consequence to make a report to the
Iostoffice department. Acting Postmas-
ter General Clarkson said, however, that
he understood that the colored man was
certified by the civil service commission
to Postmaster Lewis and he had to ap-
point him. 1t was a practical illustra-
tion of the beauty of the civil service
system. For himself he thought 1t i'm
polite to appoint colored men to work
alongside of white women. What ac-
tion, if any. would be taken in the mat
ter, he did not indicate.

Burned-Casualties.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 14.-The most
disastrous floods the Southeastern part
of the state has experienced for ten
years are now in progress. The Nemcha
river, the Blue, the Salt and dozens q
other small streams have overflowed
their banks and the waters have shown
no signs of abatement. Much property
has been destroyed and the damage to
railroads is great. The Burlington and
Missouri between Lincoln and Atchison
is.badly washed out. The Lincoln and
Northwestern near the city is under
water and the tracks are gone. The
Union Pacific is in precarious condi-
tion. The waters have risen to Sixth
street in this city and about 500 people
have been .
DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOMES.
The water extends over the bottom
lands to the salt basins, but unless it
rises several feet more, will not cause q
great amount of damage there. The
people who have been driven out Of
their homes are being cared for by the
city. Only two out of ten railroads are
tctally blocked, but all will probably
have serious trouble as the water is still
rising. Rumors come in of loss of life
in'one o. two places, but it is impossible
to verify them. #..
