RESERVATION OF THE SIOUX.
Dawes Claims Fulfillment of the Agree

Dawes Claims Fulfillment Of the Agree
ment With the Indisne
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-In the Senate to-
day Mr. Dawes presented the conference
report on the bill to carry out. In part, the
provisions Of the act to divide the Sioux
Indian reservation; and, in response to
question by Mr. Edmunds, made an ex-
PLANTATION. He said that the com mission, of
which Gen. Crook was the head, had prom
ised the Sioux Indians In the course of Its
negotiations to use its influence at Wash
ington for the redress of certain grievances.
The commission had subsequently met
forty representative Sioux Indians from the
reservation where the present outbreak oc-
Cured, to see to it that those outside assur-
ancees we're carried out. The Indian COM
mittees of both houses were also present,
and, all being together, bill had been pre-
pared to carry out exactly the assurances as
the Indians understood them.
THE DELAY IN THE HOUSE.
That bill had passed the Senate in April
last, but from difficulties In the other branch
of congress it had not passed the House until
last month, and then it contained dupli-
cate appropriation of 100000. The Senate
had struck out that duplicate appropriation,
and hence the necessity of the conference
AS the bill now stood with that duplicate
appropriation struck OUT the bill carried out
to the letter not only the assurances Of the
commission, as the commission understood
them, but also precisely as sthe Indians them
selves understood them. So that with the
original bill and with the pending bill, all
the stipulations of the agreement and all
the assurances of the commission would be
fulfilled; and there could be no ground on
which the Indians could complain of the
government in any matter out of which the
existing disturbances had arisen. The con-
ference report was agreed to.

The People Rushing to Get Ia Their

PARIS, Jan. 10--A large crowd had as
sembled early this morning outside the
Offices of the ministry Of finance.
The people, in fact, began to
assemble there yesterday evening,
hundreds passing the night outside the
doors in order to be as near the head Of the
line as possible, ana thus get some of the new
rentes, or loan. As the morning grew older
the crowd increased rapidly. Carriages con-
,taining wealthy inanciers or their repre-
sentativss drew up on the outskirts OF
the crowds and their occupants made vigor-
Gus shoulder efforts to push toward the doors
Of the financial headquarters Of France It
is thought here that in no other city or
country in the world Is so much eagerness
shown TO lend the government money. The
present loan or rentes amounts to S69, ,00o,-
900 francs and is issued at 92.55.

Legal Holidays.

The legislature at its recent session
did good thing in the matter of fixing
the legal holidays so that it may now
be certainly known which days are to be
observed.
The legal holidays in Pennsylvania,
made so by the new law are as follows:
1. New Years Day, January LIST.
=. Washington birthday, February %.
g. Good Friday.
4. Memorial Day, May 30th.
3. independence Day, July 4th.
6. Christmas Day, December 25th.
Z. Labor Day, first Monday in Sep
tember.
:. All days designed by the Governor
or President for thanksgiving, fssting or
prayer.
g. Saturday half-holiday, from y
O'Clock noon until midnight, beginning
18th of June and ending 18th of Sep
tember, of each year.
1t will be seen that there are nine of
them. As to their legal character the
law says, they ''shall for all purposes
whatever as regards the presenting for
payment or acceptance, and as regards
the protesting and giving notice of the
dlShonor OF bills OF exchange, checks,
drafts, promissory notes, made after the
passage of this act. be treated and con-
sidered as the first day of the week, COM
monty called Sunday" And all ''such
bills, checks. drafts and notes other,
wise presentable for acceptance or pay
ment on any of the said days shall be
deemed to be payable and be presenta.
ble for acceptance or payment on the
secular or business day next preceding
such holiday, orin case of half-holiday
shall be deemed to be payable and b.
presentable for acceptance or payment a
or before - O'Clock noon on such hal
holiday"
1t would be well for every one to max,
at least a mental note of these .ys, al
they have a value to business men e.

The Scranton Republican as its name
indicates journal devoted to the inter
ests of the Republican party has this to
say of the last Legislature:
In common parlance, this Legislature
has not been "a success The majority
have disappointed their party most griev-
ously and elated the oppositionibeycnd
bounds. Never before in the history OF
this state has a Republican majority in
the legislature had such magnificent OPP
portunities, and in no instance that we
can recall have opportunities, been more
shamefully wasted The Republicans in
this legislature have simply not been
equal to the situation that confronted
them. Much of the legislation that has
been enacted was so badly botched that
it might better not have been passed al
all
1t is only Just in this connection to re-
mark that the house has shown itself the
superior body of the two, and if the Sen
ate had done equally well there would
be less for Republicans to deplore and
be ashamed of. The Senators appear tC
have been the willing victims of execra-
BILE outside influence 10 which they have
yielded to the great damage.ofithe Rep
ublican party and the deteriment of the
interests of the commonwealth generally.

THE assignment of Sevill Schotield,
Son Il Co, whose immense mill at Man
ayunk gave employment to 1900 hands,
says the Philadelphia Herald, furnishes
practical tariff object lesson.
Mr.. Schoield, the head of the firm,
attributes his troubles to the injurious
effects of the Mckinley Tariff bill.
Stimulated by the new tariff law prices
took an upward tendency and then the
inevitable law of supply and demand
brought them back to their old level.
People recognizing that the law was a
squeeze in the interest of the manufac.
turer became chary about buying. and
the result has been that house which
proSpered under the old tariff has gone
to the wall under the Mckinley bill.
With free wool it is probable that
Schoteld's immense mill, which scatter:
many millions of dollars among the
working classes of Manayunk, would
to-day be resounding with the click OF
the shuttle and the rattle of the loom
When protection shuts up American
mills and brings distress and suffering to
thousands of the industrial classes, it i:
time to repeal a law which oppreSses the
many and favors but a few.

forehead of a five-year old boy at Salem,
n. Y. On May 18th, little Thomas
Stretch, the son Of Miller Reeve A.
Stretch, of Lower Alloway Creek Town
ship, was quite seriously injured by be
ing caught in a belt at the mill, and
would have been killed but for the
promptness of his father in stopping the
machinery He has now almost recov-
cred from the effects of the accident; but
few days ago dark spot was noticed
over his eye. 1t was carefully opened
with lance, and was found to be a
grain of wheat which was sprouted.
The grain was probably forced under
the skin when his head struck n bin,
while he was being whirled around the
shaft.

The Richest Man In America.

New YORK, June 1.-THE reported
illness of John ID. Rockefeller has caused
interest to be taken as to the amount of
his fortune. Mr.. Rockefeller's family
deny that the modern Croesus is danger
ously i'll, but his friends are solicitous
just the same. His sickness has renewed
the speculation as to his immense wealth.
An old Standard Oil man and life long
friend, who is on the inside of affairs,
says Rockefeller is by all odds the rich
est man in America, conservative es-
innate of his money being s129, ,OOO, 900,
and that he is wealthier than any of the

One of the many different articles
which have been disastrously effected by
the Mckinley tariff is wall paper. Two
of the important materials entering into
the manufacture of wall paper are bronze
powder and dextrine. No bronze pow
der Is made in this country, and all of
it used in the manufacture of wall
paper has to be imported, principally
from Germany. Under the Mckinley
bill the duty on this article has been in
creased nine cents on the pound. The
dextrine that is produced in the United
States Is unfit to be used in manufacture
ing wall paper, and, under the McKin-
ley bill the tax on the foreign article
has been increased from one cent to one
and one-half cents per pound. 1t can
be seen that the incaeased taxation on
these two articles will result in higher
prices charged for wall paper, at the
same time that the workingman who
labors in wall paper factories re-
! celves the same wages as heretofore.
The wall paper tax is one that every one
must bear.
