CHARLES Foster, Chairman, The commission, composed of ex-Governor Foster, Major-General Crook and Hon, Will- fam Warner, commenced their work among the Indians some two months ago. Their ob- Ject was to secure the consent of two-thirds of the Sioux Indians, numberin 20507, to a surrender of about one-half of their reserva. tion of 21,000,000 acres of land tothe United | States Government. which it turn would | throw it open to public settlement. According to the act of Congress under which the agreement was made, the unre- | linquished portion of the Sioux Reservation is divided into six reservations, as follows: Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, Lower Brule, Crow Creek, Pine Ridge and Rosebud | The land thrown open to settlement will | aggregate about 11,000,000 acres and will be disposed of by the United States to actual settlers only, at the following rates: $1.25 | per acre for all lands taken within the first threo years after the act takes effect: 75 cents per acre for all lands disposed of within the succeeding two years, and 50 cents per acre | for the residue of the lands then undisposed | of. All lands stillopen to settlement under i the agreement at the end of ten years from the taking effect of the act shall be ac | cepted by the United States at 50 cents per acre, which amount shall be added to and | credited to the Indians as part of their | permanent fund. The act provides for furnishing the neces sary seed to the Indians for two years, for which adequate appropriation is made. It addition thereto there is to be set apart the | sum of $3,000,000, which is to be deposited in the United States Treasury to the credit of the Sioux Nation of Indiansasa permanent fund. the interest of which at five per cont. per an num is to be appropriated under the direc tion of the Secretary of the Interior to the use of the Indians, "After the G wernment has been reimbursed for the money expended fcr the Indians, under the provisions of the act the Secretary of the Interior may in his | discretion expend, in addition to the int.rest of the permanent fund, not to exceed ten per cent. per annum of the principal of the fund in the employment of farmers and in the purchase of agri cultural instruments, teams, ete, necessary to assist the Indians in agricuitural pursuits At the end of fifty years the fund is to be ex pendad for the purpose of promoting educs- tion, civilization and self-support among the Indians, or otherwise distributed among them | as Congress may determine. i All the new reservations include the land | in the vicinity of the agencies where the In- | dians are now living. The land to b thrown open to settlement is not occupied at | present by the Indians. The number of In «ians on the reservation is 23.587. The act Jrovides that the agreement as now entered into must be submitted to Con gress at its next session for ratification. In case the agreement is approved and no fur ther legislation is enacted, the Secretary of the Interior will proceed to carry into effect | the provisions of the law. A. T. Lea, an agent of the Interior Depart ment, is now in Dakota, and has been ordered to proceed to take a census of the Indians with a vie of ascertain ing how many of them are sble to support themselves and their phys ical capacity to work the land owned ! or occupied by them, either individually or <ollectively: the valus of the land, its near ness to market, its general productiveness and such other facts and circumstances as will as sist Congress in determining how many of | the Indians are canable of self-support. uu HONOLULU IN REVOLT, | An Unsuccessful Insurrection Which Seven Natives Were Killed, News has just been received from the Ha- | waiian Islands of an attempt to overthrow the Government.

Consul at | THE LABOR CONGRESS Proceedings of the Six Days’ Convocation in Paris, The Delegates Agree on a Labor Programme for the World, The International Workers Congress, which has just closed its six days’ session at Paris, was very largely attended, and those who were in attendance declared it to be an enthusiastic and successful meeting.

Beethoven's Practical Joke The New York Sun calls to mind the practical joke the great composer Beeth- oven played one evening on his old friend and master, Joseph Haydn, the famous wheelwright's son, who became in 1760 the Kapel-meister of Prince N. Esterhazy. “I have just composed an aria,” saifl Beethoven to Haydm, in the presence of many princely ladies and gen- tlemen, ‘‘and I wonder if you would be able yourself to play it at first sight without stopping.” Haydn was some. what provoked at such an intimation from his favorite pupil, and proceeded at once to play the aria, which at first proved to be as easy as a beginner's exercise. But suddenly he came to a point when, every one of his ten fingers being at once en- gaged on both ends of the key-board, there still remained one note to be struck right in the middle of it. Prince Ester. hazy's kapel-meister became as pale as a sheet, and, to the stupefaction of the lookers-on, abruptly left the piano, mut. tering some unintelligible but undoubt. edly sulphurious German imprecation. Beethoven did not mind it a bit, but sat down at the instrument, played the aria with the ntmost brilliancy, and when he point, coolly struck the awkward middie note with has nose, amid the plaudits and bursts of laughter of the Prince and his friends, in which Haydn himself could not help joining heartily, Pathetic Story of a Dumb Mother.
