AN INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.
Plan for n Road Through Central Amer
lea and the Isthmus.

A Washington dispatch says: There is
q movement on foot now-and the pan
American Congress is made the field Of
agitation-to build continuous railroad
system beginning at the southermost
point of Mexico reached by rail from the
United States through Central America
and the isthmus and running well down
into South America. Mexico will take
care of her share of the enterprise and
the South American States involved will
take care OF theirs. In Central America,
however, the governments are too poor
to do anything except cede large tracts
Of land. They look to see our Congress
supply the money by giving the govern
ment's guarantee to the bonds issued, on
the strength Of the whole scheme being
engineered by American financiers and
statesmen

THE SIOUX DEMANDS.
John Grass Speaks Before the Senate
Indian Committee

John Grass SPEAKS beiOre tne Senate
Indian Committee
The delegation of Sioux chiefs ap-
peared before the Senate Indian COM
mittee at Washington the other day. John
Grass, who acted as spokesman, said
they wanted the provisions Of the Sioux
commission agreement carried out, and
also asked indemnity for $500 ponies
said to have been run off by Gen. Terry
a long while ago. Grass then made an
earnest onslaught upon the practice OF
sending Indians to eastern schools. The
Indian youth, he said, should be edu-
Gated at schools on or near the reserva-
tion. More Indians could be sent to
reservation schools and their presence
would improve the great mass of the
Indians. He was asked IL the Sioux
were ready 70 accept land in severalty.
He replied that they were not, and 1t
would be about fifteen years before they
would be ready.

hand, Charles Selwyn."
Taking the messenger by the arm,
Selwin led him into the hall and, point

lad, however, seated himself on a bear

his hand, remained motionless as before.

It is because thy Damon is begirt

Gaul gathers his forces at Montreal and

thy kinsman, Sir William johnson,

the rescue with ahandful of volunteers,

Selwyn handed the letter to Sir Will
lam and began pacing the floor with
hasty steps and thoughtful brow. The
Indian boy, having eaten, had rolled
his blanket up for pillow and stretched
himself on the bear-skin. where he slept
soundly. The baronet, having read the
letter, returned it to his kinsman with
the remark:

Selwyn shook his head.

he, land would come boldly if at all"
So saying, he unbolted the hall door
and was about to step forth upon the
moonlit lawn, but almost stumbled over
an object seated on the threshold, which
arose and stood before him silent and
motionless. Selwyn was too we'll used
to Indian habits to be surprised at this
apparition, the sex and features of
which were concealed by blanket
thrown over the head and almost touch
ing the ground.
''Whom do you seek?" asked the
young man, in the Mohawk dialect.
Slowly the blanket dropped from
head and shoulders, revealing hand
some boyish face, whose features were
rather French than aboriginal, and
pair of large sparkling black eyes were
