Over a Hasty
Union.

MR.. LO STILL THE ATTRACTION
Nothing "GOes" at the Chicago Festival
Like the Indians.

Like the Indians.
The parade, as stated in the fore
going. Dire wthe whole town, for four
or five hours. but for steady drawing
there is nothing doing'' here like the
Indian camp. From Z a. m. to along
in the afternoon the street car lines un-
loaded tens of thousands at Lincoln
park, all with the same point in view
the Indian camp. The visitors were
admitted into the enclosure three times
during the day. Every feathered brave
was surrounded by school boys who
whooped it up in a way that gave the
forest visitors lesson in yelling. The
women and girls in the pushing crowd
We're attracted to the quaws and pa
pooses, and the little ones submitted
to chuckingS in the chin with true
Indian stolidity. They likewise reaped
a harvest of pennies and nickels.
The lodge where bead work and lit
tie canoes are sold had so many clamor
ing customers that the stock i'll trade
was nearly exhausted before the morn
ing was over. There was nothing
sacred from the curiosity of the Wis
itors. No detail of Indian toilet max
ing is now a secret from scores of
whites. The closing of tepee flats was
no bar to the inquisitive. They raised
the corners of the canvas and poked
peep holes in the rush sides of wig
vans. They saw braves decking them
selves with war paint and feathers,
and watched the squaws getting the
tiny papooses iLtO buckslin swaddling
clothes.
Finally the red men and women had
enough of the thing, and the police
drove everybody out and cleared the
field for the dancers. The green corn
dances, the scalp dances and the buff
fsIo dances Of Monday were repeated.

tOpher Robinson. X c., who suffered
from severe iDdisposition, but who had
benefited by the nights rest, resumed
his speech in behalf of the Canadian
claims, though at the suggestion of
Chief Justice AlverstOne, counsel re-
manned seated. Robinson dealt vigor-
ously with the fallibility of the maps
of the district under contention, assert
ing that the United States deductions
therefrOm were therefore weak.
Robinson continued his speech after
the luncheon adjournment. Ridiculing
the United States contention that IL
had secured the allegiance of the Alas
ka natives, he said: with bottle OF
whisky and Il blanket you can obtain
the allegiance of any Indian"
Replying to Lord AIverstone's query
as to whether counsel could prove that
the coast mentioned in article Z re-
ferred exclusively to the strip which
Russia was to obtain by the treaty.
Robinson maintained that article Z
meant reciprocal privileges in the strip,
implying Great Britain's jurisdiction
over certain inland waters and nor
south of latitude $40. as the United
States contends Counsel argued that
Russia had not the right to grant priv
ileges south oflatitude $40.
Hannis Taylor, former United States
minister to Spain, of counsel for the
United States, followed Robinson. Tay
lor will continue his argument today.
