OF the lake made 1t a valuable spot OF ground.
and. as before stated. coveted by several par

were made 10 the Land ONCE TO meander and
plat the island so as to enable settlement
thereon. but without definite. or at least tan
Gible results. Finally Mr.. G. became Impa-

concerning Il. some weeks aftsrward. while
he was In town, he was handed the biggest

Milwaukee, Aug. 10.-ln a riot last
night at the intersection OF Forest
Home, Eighth avenue and Mitchell
street, resulting from the police at
tempting to prevent a mass meeting
called to protest against the action OF
the health authorities, about thirty men
were injured and eleven arrests were
made
Those injured most seriously as fas
as known are: Roaldsman Neidner,
struck in the head with brick,
stunned and seriously hurt; Patrolman
Anderson received cut two inches
long over the eye; patrolman Wagner
received a bad cut, Patrolman Jonas,
face badly bruised: patrolman Green,
bruised. A number OF other officers
were hurt who were not reported in
jured nd it is impossible TO secure the
names of the citizens who were in
jured
PROBABLY 1000 residents, principally
Of the eleventh ward, attempted TO
hold another mass meeting in violation
of the proclamation issued by Mayor
Koch, in which lie forbade holding
public gatherings on the south side.
The people were made defiant hy in
cendiary speeches at the mass meet
ing Wednesday, and when 4 small
squad of police sent early in the even
ing tried peaceably TO deter the crowds
they resisted. Later squads OF from 800
to 400 people came from all directions
and gathered on the triangle. Rein
forcements We're sent for and when
about 100 policemen in charge Of
Chief of Police Jansen arrived the mob
was charged. Under command of
chief Jansen the police drew clubs and
drove the mob in all directions
The crowd had no intention Of leav-
/ ing the scene Of disturbance and after
marching UP side streets for nearly
4 half block, returned armed with
stones and threw them at the officers
infiicting the injuries related above.
The mob was finally dispersed.

Representative Forman, from the
committee ON agriculture. yesterday
made favorable report on the bill
to make oleomargarine and all other
limitations Of dairy products subject TO
the laws of the state or territory into
which they are transported. 1t is
claimed that the Original package de-
cision of the United States supreme
court permitted INSCRIPTIONS dealers
to pack oleomargarine in original pack
ages and thus protect it from the re-
strictions of the various state laws.
Chairman Hatch, OF the house com

ported favorably the bill to prevent
the adulteration and misbrandlng OF
foods and drugs.
The committee on public lands
agreed on one of the most important
measures in this congress which is the
McRae bill to prevent the free use of
timber on public lands The bill re-
peals the act governing the cutting of
timber and provides that here
after it shall be unlawful to grant
permission to any person or corpora

SITTING BULLS LAST MEN.
Starved out OF the British Possessions
They Return TO the United States.

The commissioner of Indian affairs
has received Information from Cap
tain w. II. Clapp, acting Indian agent
at Fort Berthold agency, in North
Dakota. of the arrival of the last rem
nant OF the followers Of Sitting Bull,
who fled into the British possessions
after the Custer massacre In 1876.
The return of these Indians com
pletes work that the government
has had on its hands since the day
OF the killing Of General Custer.
In 1887 the privy council of Canada,
with the approval Of the governor
general, officially notified the United
States of the presence Of the Sioux
Indians within the British possessions,
stating that owing to their destitute
condition permits for the purchase of
limited quantities of ammunition had
been granted them, but that their pres
ence was a source Of grave apprehen'
sion and anxiety on the part of both
the Indian and white population Of
that part Of Canada, and requesting
the United States government without
delay to take such steps as would In
duce the Indians and any Others who
might similarly cross the boundary
line to return to their reserves in the
United States.
in accordance with this request a
commission, consisting OF General Ter
ry and A. ]. Lawrence, was appointed
by the president TO proceed TO Fort
Walsh and negotiate with Sitting Bull
for his peaceful return to the United
States and settlement at some agency
At the council Sitting Bull and his
chiefs declined all proposals made by
the commission and announced their
desire and intention to remain in the
British possessions. After the close
of the council the Canadian authori-
ties conferred with the Indians, warn
ing them that no help whatever be-
yond protection could be expected
from the British government. and that
crossing of the line by any Of the
young men with hostile intent would
be considered an act Of hostility by
both governments With this full un-
Outstanding the Indians adhered To-
their former decision and the com
mission returned, and Sitting Bull and
his followers were declared no longer
wards of the government.
The Indian bureau, however, con
tinued to make overtures 10 the big
chief Sitting Bull at last consented
to return, and did SO, followed by q
large number of his band, who We're
assigned to different reservations.
Now the last Of the hostiles who have
remained stubborn in their refusal to
return to the United States have come
back. There are forty-two in this
party, now on Its way 70 Fort Ber-
thold, and they are in pitiable con
ditlon, without provisions or suitable
clothing Many even of the old men,
Captain Clapp says, are on foot, and
progress will necessarily be very slow.
Two or three are seriously sick from
exposure and fatigue. and one of them
is likely to die on the road.

cheney of military law or military
action.--Century Dictionary.
Martial law is an arbitrary law,
proceeding directly from the military
power and having no immediate or
legislative sanction. A place, district
or country occupied by an enemy,
stands, in consequence of the occupa-
ton under the martial law Of the in
yading or occupying army, whether
any proclamation declaring martial
law, or amy public warning to tthe
inhabitants. has been issued or no.
Martial law Is the immediate and di-
rect effect and consequence of occu-
patton or conquest. The presence of a
hostile army proclaims its martial
law. Martial law does not cease dur
ing the hostile occupation except by
special proclamation ordered by the
commander-in-chief or ny special
mention in the treaty OF peace con-
Guiding the war when the occupation
of place or territory continues be-
yond the conslusion of peace as one
OF the conditions of the same. Martial
law in a hostile country consists in
the suspension, by the occupying mill
tary authority OF the criminal and
civil law aad of the domestic admin
istration and government in the &C
cupied place or territory and in the
substitution of military rule and force
for the same, as well as in the di-
rection of general laws, as far as milf
tary necessity requires this suspension,
substitution no dictation. The COM
mander of the forces may proclaim
that the administration of all civil
and penal law shall continue, either
wholly or in part, as in times Of peace,
unless otherwise ordered by the mill
tary authority. Martial law Is simply
military authority exercised in accord
ance with the laws and uSages of war.
Military oppression Is not martial law;
il is the abuse of the power which
that law confers. AS martial law is
executed by military force 1t Is in
cum bent upon those who administer
it to be strictly guided by the princi-
pies of justice. honor and humanity

WHAT MARTIAL LAW" MEANS.
Definitions from Dictionaries and a
Military Encyclopedia.

President Cleveland's proclamation
has directed general attention to the
scope and meaning of the phrase
martial law The following will
therefore be Of peculiar interest:
Law imposed by military power:
That military rule or authority which
exists in time of war and is conferred
by the laws Of war in relation to per
sons and things under and within the
scope Of active military operations,
and which extinguishes or suspends
for the time being civil rights and
the remedies founded upon them, 50
far as this may be necessary In order
to the full accomplishment Of the pur-
pose OF war. The person who exercises
martial law is, however, liable to an
action FOR any abuse of the authority
thus conferred. It Is the application Of
military government government
of force-of persons and property wit
in Its scope according to the laws and
usages OF war, to the exclusion Of
municipal government in all respects
where the latter would impair the eff
