gentleman who heard IT, reminded Lowell of the

had forgotten the circumstance altogether, but. on
thinking Of IT, he resolved 10 make the remark the
subject OF an entire lecture. He Endorsed Shake

LEADERS GIVING TROUBLE.

LEADERS GIVING TROUBLE
Chicago July 3o-A dispatch from Standing Rock
Agency, OAK, says Six thousand Indians were
present awaiting the signal Of the Commission 10 open
the council yesterday, and the numerous whites who
are anxious 10 have the reservation opened 70 settle
ment were lobbying with the warriors, but apparently
without effect The Commission met at ii O'CLOCK
at which time the Indians were asked II they had
examined the treaty and were prepared to say any
thing upon the subject.
John Grass who had been selected by the Indians
as spokesman arose and said that they had COM
pared the present proposed treaty with that suDmed
last year As for himself he could not see tat any
thing in It would In any way benefit him, ana nc
would not sign He said that he understood the Dill
we'll enough to know that 1t not what the Indians
wanted He wanted to know why 1t was that tho
ssntees not excluded from the benefits OF THIS
bill. He also wanted to know why the s25ooo e1-
penses Of the Commission should be taken from the
proceeds of the sale Of lands and whether or not me
provisions Of the treaties Of 1868 and 1876 with ref
erence TO the schooling OF Indian children, were still
10 be carried out.
The queries OF Grass stunned the Commission for the
moment, but Major Warner made an effective speech
In reply He told them that the claim OF the sanees
was Just and right, but small that 1t did not
deserve serious consideration at their hands lie also
informed them that the expenses of the Commission
would not be taken from the proceeds Of the sale Oh
tho lands and promised them thai the provisions Oh
the treaties Of 1863 and 1876 still to be carried
out regardless Of the present treaty; and further
that their ratons and clothing supply wonld be con-
tnued as now regardless of the treaty.
The Indians are still suspicious. They are convinced
that the whites are endeavorng to get the best Of them
and 1t Will require many fine speeches and much
diplomacy on the part of the Commissioners to induce
them to sign Sitting Bull Gall, Johr Grass ana

JUDGMENT AGAINST THE ST. PAUL
TO PAY $4,000 ON A TRANSACTION FOR burrIx'
ING A CHICAGO ELEVATOR

rn,c,co Julv 3o-Judgc Gresham this morning
aIed his opinion In the Of Alfred NJ. Hoyt and
Others against the Chicago. milwaukee, ana b. Paui
Railway Judgment for $4,000 was entered against
the defendant The case has been In iineauon Tor
some time and II was brought into prominence by
the failure Of the attempt to corner the market on
wheat in 1855 and 1887. In SUBSTANCE ho naeu'e
OF the case Is as follows:
On February 10, 1880, the defendant leased TO Fred
etck Hoyt and Others for term Of ten years from
January l. 1881 Lots Nos ], and . OF BLOCK H., IN
the original town Of Chicago. In consideration OF
this lease the plaintiffs agreed to erect an elevator OF
the capacity OF 900, 900 bushels pay all taxes and
assessments and, besides, tender the storage capacity
of another smaller elevator near by, whose capacity
~as 35o 600 bushels, to the defendant There was
an ,ronclad contract drawn up between the parties
that the St. Paul road should annually bring to
Chicago and store with Hoyt 100000 bushels OF
wheat II the amount sent TO the elevator In year
did not aggregate 5000 900 bushels the ST. Paul road
was TO nay Hoyt and others cent per bushe for the de-
Scency The required 100000 bushels seems to have
been stored up to 1856. when the quantity
brought by the company TO the elevators only
o soeso1 bushels In 1887 the amount again fell
short as only 1857 500 bushels stored there.
The railroad company bringing In wheat by the
train load during this time, but the elevator had
capacity of only 100000 bushels, and as the con
sgnees TO whom the wheat stored there was shipped
were playing the markell they did not want 10 take
! their wheat out of storage. The 100000 bushels
remained in the elevator bins, and the railroad was
forced 10 take wheat elsewhere. In spite Of this
! fact Hoyt and the others brought sHt for the com
mission Of cent per bushel on the yearly deficiency
They saw that the company knew that the elevators
capacity was 900 600 bushels, and that in order TO
live up TO the terms OF the contract the consignecs
must keen the wheat moving. lloyt was willing to
nccie fine wheat as per Of the contract but
