THE LOOKOUT At sTREAToR

Supplies Sent to the NIiners-Business at a
Standstill.
CHICAGO Aug. 1-Congressman Lawler
and other members of the business mems
relief committee left yesterday morning
with additional supplies for the half
starved. locked.out coal miners at
Streator.
Mr. Geerahty. whose business in Streat-
or has been well nigh ruined by the
miners troubles. and who has been in
Milwaukee for some days soliciting
relief, said: 1--WE have two car
loads of provisions to distribute to-
day, but what will that amount to when
divided among 5000 starving miners, the
majority of whom are married men with
families. 1t will scarcely last two days
for the poor fellows. The condition of the
men and women is almost indescribable
can truthfully say that many people are
actually starving. The babies and chill
dren cry for bread and W allow in the mud
dy streets, but their mothers have become
callous to their cries and do not seem to
mind. They say but little and complaints
are infrequent. They just keep silent in
their misery. A few are very proud and
affect to be light hearted when they have
not a thing to eat in the house. I tell you
it is horrible and no one can realize the
awful sufferings until he gets right in the
midst of the misery. Business has gone
to smash and stagnation rules every
where. Unless the miners are given work
soon or further relief comes you will soon
hear of some deaths from actual starva-
tionO

AT STANDING ROCK.

Roll For Signatures 0pened-Geneonl
Crook Warns the Obdur.te.
STANDING Rock AGENCY, Oak, Aug. .
AT the council Wednesday the Indians
were Informed that no more meetings Tor
the explanation of the treaty would be
held. John Grass repeated his objections
to the treaty, chief among which Is the
price offered for the lands.
Major Warner replied to Grass He met
every obi lection and explained the provi-
sions of the treaty of 1888. which the Gov
eminent is charged with violating.
|. But the speech of the conference and one
that will never be forgotten by the In
dams, was made by General Crook, who
said, among other things: 81 have all
ready intimated that unless you except
the treaty, this land may be taken from
you anyway. My reasons for thinking 80
are as follows: Dakota, Montana and
Washington Territory have only ono
representative each in Congress, and
do not have a vote. Thus, in the
past, the cries of Dakotans for
the opening of this reservation have had
little weight, but after October next they
will be States with an appropriate repre-
sentation. and then when they ask that
these reservations be opened, the red
mans voice will be small and he will be
crowded to one side I assure you that you
are getting the best terms that will ever
be offered you, and unless you accept you
will not get more than you were offered q
year ago. The Great Father does
not want to deal with the chiefs alone; he
wants every Indian on the reservation to
express his desires that they may be
gratified. You are the equals of the
whites mentally and physically, and
there is no reason why you should not be
placed on an equal footing if you contin-
ne to progress You must do more in the
future You love your families and you
want to know what will become of
them when you are dead. If you accept
this treaty and take your land like the
whites it can never be taken from you
and will be your children's when you die.
You will see that the Government is your
friend"
The roll for signatures was opened yes
terday.

The Kansas Sanitary livestock Board
Satisfied That No Disease Exists in the
State.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2-The Livestock
Sanitary Board consisting of Hon. j. T.
White. of Ada, Hon. Charles Collins. of
Hutchinson and z. Hurst, of Howard, and
s. Fl. Pierce, of Washington, D. c., and j.
A. Walrath of Kansas City. representing
the United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry held a meeting Wednesday even
ing and at noon yesterday made a report
in substance as follows: "A careful in
vestigation at the Kansas City stock yards
shows that the order of the board
relating TO separate yards at Argentine
for Southern cattle which might be SUBJ
ject to infectious diseases is being fully
complied with. The special pens are used
for no other purpose and nre separated
from the main yards by the Kansas river.
The yards are in excellent sanitary con-
dition. Les danger of infection from
Texas fever exists than in former years,
and while a few cases have been reported
this season, investigation show that they
had contracted the disease before ship
ment in the yards. There was no
evidence to show that these cattle would
transmit the fever. it being we'll UNDER
stood that native or half-breed cattle do
not convey the disease. AS an additional
protection to the native cattle, however,
the board recommended to the stock yards
company that all OF that part OF the yard
east of the State line known as the Alton
side be set apart for their exclusive use,
from which all the Texas cattle should be
excluded"
Resolutions were adopted acquainting
the Governor of Nebraska with the above
facts. declaring that no good reasons ex-
listed for quarantine against the stock
yards of Nebraska and respectfully ask.
ing the modification of the quarantine
order and permitting the shipment of all
cattle into Nebraska except Southern
cattle held in quarantine at Argentine.
