describes the land as '1eased lands," and
says that there can hardly be any doubt as
to the title to them being vested in the In
dams. Of the lands to be coded to the United
States, 427, 2Ol acres are to be set apart to be
given to the Indians under the provisions OF
the land in severalty act. The report says
the price to be given for the lands was fixed
at $1.S5 sn acre. From the amount thus
found to be the value of the whole tract. 20
cents an acre was deducted, because of the
money paid under the treaty leasing them
for the location of other Indians thereon.
and the further amount of S4O0. $50. which
was paid directly to the Indians under the
treaty of 1856.

CHICAGO, September 26.-J. F. Goddard
will not be president of the Southwestern
Railroad and Steamship association. Tho
gossips who SO confidently picked him out
for that place will have to guess again. The

offered the Craftsmanship, he would decline
it on that account. Mr.. Goddard said that
he is Chicago man and intends to remain
here unless an lnducement moro powerful
than any that has been offered is brought to
bear upon him. One of the men now most
talked of for the craftsmanship is s. B. Hynes,
general freight agent for the Southern Cali
fornia road. j. Waldo, formerly chairman
of the Texas Traffic association, and general
traffic manager of the Missouri, Kansas d
Texas, has also been mentioned for tho place.

Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:

above last years report. A considerable in
.rease appears in woolens, linens, silks and
other dry goods, but there is fair prospect
that the merchandise exports will now ex-
iced in value the imports for the month.
Grain does not move freely as yet, but tho
exports of cotton exceed last years materi-
ally and provisions move in large quantities.
The report from other cities show re-
narkable activity in all branches of legiti-
nate trade. The excess of bank clearings
over those of the corresponding weeks last
rear in all cities outside of New York rises
% 16 per cent. for the month thus far, and
averages about 25 per cent. Boston reports
more trade with easier money.
At Philadelphia the shoe and leather trades
are exceptionally good. but in groceries trade
falls short of anticipations. Hardware is

Kansas City reports steady and Savannah

volume ef business does not seem to be any

active, the wool manufacture having espe-

BUS minor industries, the expected change of

Iron is more firm at Philadelphia and is
not much pressed for sale here, though some
Chicago sales in this region are reported, but
The demand for bar iron increases with an

Circular Issued by T. v. Powderly.
PHILADELPHIA September 2.-General
Master Workman Powderly has issued cir
cular to the Knights of Labor in which he re-
views the late strike and draws some conclu-
sions. He acknowledges that it was clearly
evident after the first week that the men
would be beaten, but adds 'that it was nee
sssary to teach the power that controls judges
and legislatures that it would be an expen-
1--WE undertaking to attempt to destroy the
manhood of those who created the wealth
hat went to bribe public officials. To give
in the first week would have shown cowardice
and would pave the way for future attacks.
Tho experience gained by the Central man
agement in the loss of S15, COX, 900 to $780,
1900, and the greater loss of public pat
ronage, will have a wholesome effect in the
future. The strike was deliberately planned
N tho Office of the New York Central d
Hudson railroad, and once inaugurated, it
vas but just that they should get enough
If it."
The circular calls for the reprisal for al.
eyed outrages, in the following words:
During this strike men were taken from
heir homes without warrant of Law, by
body of armed meroenaries. They were
aiken to be imprisoned in the depots Of the
New York Central railroad, instead of to the
regularly established jails of the country.
They were taken away from the jurisdiction
If the lawful authorities of the places where
hey resided. The constitution of the United
States was trampled in the mire by Robert
Pinkerton, and he did it beneath the shadow
If the capitol of the state of New York.
These outrages cry to heaven for vengeance,
Ind vengeance the people must have. The
aext legislature of New York must be looked
20 for such Legislation as will abolish worse
orm of brigandage than ever existed In
italy.
He congratulates the strikers upon having
accomplished the following results:
s'First-They have created a public senti-
em of Plnkertonism from the land.
"Second-They have opened up the eyes of
he nation to the necessity for governmental!
upervision of railways.
''Third-They have shown that one sided
legislation is dangerous, and in future the
nan who works must receive protection
rom the law as we'll as the man who en-
aloys him.
'Fourth-Thay have demonstrated that be-
ore the law an association of men, whose
capital is their flesh, blood, muscle and brain,
must in future be recognized in the granting
If charters as we'll as the organization of
dollars.
"Fifth-They have shown that the days
have gone by when the time serving politicians
IAN deceive the workingmen by pretended
friendship.
The circular concludes as follows:
SIN conclusion l ask our members to sus-
ain us in this struggle. It has only begun.
Do not pay heed to rumors of mismanage-
ment. ask you to redouble your efforts
until we wreak vengeance on the heads of the
real train wreckers by enacting such legisla-
lion as will place all men on equality before
law that no man or set of men will DEFY"
