Unanimous Vote In Favor of the Bill at

Unanimous Vote In Favor of the Bill at
Lower Brule Agency.
LOWER BRULE AGENCY, OAK, July 8.
I'm the council this morning, Iron Nation
arose and stated he was the head chief, and
would sign the bill and his people would
follow. Medicine Bull said they were
willing to follow Iron Nation, but wanted
more explanation. Governor Foster then
went over the bill again, and General Crook
told the Indians as they were all willing
they had better sign this afternoon; that to-
morrow would be the Fourth of July, and
the fact that the Indians at Lower Brule
had signed would be telegraphed all over
the country and their friends would be
pleased. Several of the chiefs objected to
the Santees participating in the benefits,
but the commissioners talked them out
of this. Iron Nation then said to General
Crook: "Three Stars, am going to sign
because you tell me this is a good bill, but
before 1 do so want you to promise to be a
good friend to the Indians here. We want
to remain on the White river and wish you
to tell the Great Father"
Left Hand Thunder endeavored to stem
the tide which was setting so strongly in
favor of the bill. but his efforts were un-
availing. Iron Nation signed first, and was
followed i'm order of rank by the other
chiefs. The conversion of Iron Nation,
Little Pheasant. Dead Band and Sur
rounded, the leaders of last years opposi-
tion, was q triumph hardly equaled in the
record of the Indian negotiations, and for
which the commissioners deserve great
credit. Yesterday afternoon General Crook,
at the request of the chiefs, had a private
talk with them, and at this conference the
programme which has been successfully
carried out to-day was agreed upon. The
and the result will be perfectly unani-
nous vote in favor of the bill.

On HIcAGo, July 3-The balloting on Sat
urday last. by which it was decided to an
mex all of the surrounding suburbs adjoin-
ing Chicago, promises to cause much and
complicated litigation. The city Council
of the northern suburb of Lakeview last
night passed resolution appropriating
IS, 900 of the municipal funds to fight an
nexation in the city courts. This morning
early, citizens of Lakeview appeared before
Judge Altgeld and secured an injunction
forbidding the City Clerk from issuing a
warrant for the amount, the City Treasurer
from paying it. and the Mayor from using any
of it. These officials, however, were alert
and the money was in Mayor Boldenweck's
hands before the injunction was served. A
writ OF injunction was issued by Judge jane
son restraining the Board of Education of
School District No. 4, in the Town of Lake,
from issuing 81 700 worth of school bonds,
from paying John Bane 81 900 in part pay
ment of school site. and restraining Bane
from disposing of the warrant If it is already
in his possession. This grows out Of action
taken by the boards just prior to the annex
of Education of Chicago.
A Hyde Park damage case was thrown on
the hands of the city law department this
morning, and suit against Lakeview by
Cincinnati firm to secure possession of q fire
engine was put over because no one was
present to defend it except the City Attor-
ney of Lakeview, who was uot quite sure
whether or not he represented anybody,
owing to the changed conditions.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-The thirteenth
annual convention of the National Music
Teachers Association began work in real
earnest to-day. Three sessions were held.
In the morning President of Common Coun-
ell William M. Smith delivered an elo-
quent address of welcome in the
Academy of Music. President Heath, OF
Fort Wayne, Ind, in his annual address
spoke Of the difficulty met with every year
in defraying the expenses of the orchestral
concerts of American compositions. In
suggesting a remedy he said: Let US es-
tablish concert and orchestra fund, the
principal of which is to be placed in the
hands of responsible parties and governed
by constitutional restrictions. The income
alone of this fund is to be used, and If sue
cessful it will annually meet the concert
and orchestral expenses and thus perpetuate
the grand work of encouraging the creative
talent of this great America"
A committee was appointed to carry out
the plans suggested. The feature of the
morning was an address on "National
-hoSISoA AsooCAosAohS1 LhCl 1osASo ~
Music, to Musicians and to the People" by
Mr.. Edward Chadfeld, of Derby, En-
gland, General Secretary of the Ma
tional Society of Professional Musi-
clans of England. Mr.. Chadfeld asked
that better treatment be accorded
the modern composers than was accorded
the composers whose names are now famous.
At the afternoon session the report of the
Board of Vice Presidents was received,
nominating A. r. Parsons, of New York,
for President, to succeed President Heath.
Most Of the time of the afternoon session
was taken up by a chamber concert, in
which Miss Lucie E. Mawson and Miss
Louise Yelling, pianists, and William
Courteney. tenor, all Of New York, COM
posed the talent.
After the chamber concert A. R. Parsons
read an essay on Teaching and Teaching
Reforms" The essay was an argument that
the association should adopt q national
method OF teaching. In a discussion which
followed the argument was generally ap-
proved. The evening session consisted OF
an organ concert in the First New Jerusa-
lem Church, Twenty-second and Chestnut
streets.

wife and two children. and settled in

tune by shrewd investments. Until a month
ago he resided at Durango. He had con-
templated contest in the courts OF that
portion of his fathers will which made
bequests to certain public institutions and
private persons, and a month ago he started
for Kansas City from Durango to attend
personally to this item of business.
At Denver he left his wife and children
with friends. Arriving at Kansas City his
actions became very queer. He assumed

seemed to become despondent, and shortly
afterward was found dead in bed, a large

CHICAGO, July 3.-Samuel B. Leach, an
expert machinist, who is alleged to be one
of the conspirators in the celebrated Electric
Sugar Company swindle, was arrested here
to-day. After W. e. Howard, the Presi-

sentenced to the New York Penitentiary for
ten years, the victims began looking around

given power of attorney to effect settle

panied by Mr.. Robertson, the Secretary of
the defunct company.

of a house and lot in settlement of the
claim. They then complained to Chief of
Police Hubbard, who detailed two de-
tectives on the case. The officers have
shadowed Leach ever since awaiting a copy
of the Indictment from New York. 1t was
delayed, and Mr.. Coss, fearing Leach might
escape, swore out warrant to-day, charging
Leach with being fugitive from justice.

Sullivan will be an easy victor Two or three
practical people think otherwise. among them
is the old veteran, Tom Sterck. His reasoning
is to the effect that Sullivan couldn't settle
Mitchell in three hours and that Smith is a

him. However, the Professor argues that IL
Sullivan is in firstclass shape he may down

curious people filed every available place
of vision, some on top OF the Court House,
some in trees, others in the windows, but
the largest number crowded around the en-
trance of the Jail inclosure and awaited with
anxious mein the appearance of Sheriff
Donald.
At little after 11:30 the Sheriff and
guard entered; few minutes later the door
was thrown open and the crowd rushed in.
The condemned culprits ascended the gal
lows with firm steps, the mandate of the
Supreme Court was read by Sheriff Donald,
followed with the usual query if they had
anything to say. A negative nod was the
only response. Caps were placed over their
heads, and at precisely 1904 the two souls

ruptly hurled into eternity. A short
struggle and all was over. They died pro-

ESPECIAL rKLEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, July 3.-Secretary Tracy is
being sincerely criticised by Washington
residents and visiting sightseers for his re-
cent order prohibiting entrance to the navy
yard where the big guns are being cast.
Heretofore the yard has been free to every
body, but now callers, unless they desire to
make business visit to the officers on duty,
are shut out. The reason for the new order
is said to be that visitors insist on talking
to the laborers and distracting them from
their work. All public institutions in
Washington are very free Of access, and The
people generally are protesting loudly
against the restriction Of the navy yard
privilege.
The departure OF the President to-day
for Woodstock recalls the fact that the day
was the eighth anniversary of the shooting
of President Garfield. He was shot in the
Pennsylvania Railroad station on July 2,
1881, and in going to the cars to-day Har-
rison fearlessly walked over the spot where
Garfield fell.
