BILLINGS , JJortt. , Aug. 19. Ever
wince last October a government com
mission has been at Crow agency en
deavoring to treat with the Crow In-
laim for the purchase of n largo tract
of the land (1,100,000 ( acres ) on the
Crow reservation , which might bo
thrown open for settlement.
The commission has had many
things to contend with , which have
been against the making of the treaty ,
but the issue was successfully mot and
accomplished last Saturday afternoon
to the satisfaction of the Indians and
commission.
Before the treaty could lie made , the
signatures of a majority of the male
adults on the reservation ( about 325)
wore necessary. At this writing these
have been obtained and the signatures
of all others can and probably will bo
secured. All of the leading chiefs liave
signed , Including Pretty Eagle , Plen-
tlcous , Two Lugglus , Daylight , Spotted
Horse , Bell Rock , Carney , spotted
Rabbit , Medicine Trail , Big Medicine
and Deaf Bull , and the lesser lights
and mcmbois of the tribe In general
are now tumbling over each other to
get Into the band wagon.
The general terms of the treaty are
that the government agrees to pay $1-
150,000 for 1,100,000 acres of land.
About $300,000 of this sum goes into
irrigation on the reservation , to finish
the ditches now In course of construc
tion and provide for their mnintu-
nanco. About $50,000 will bo used for
fencing various parts of the reserva
tion to protect the Indian cattle herd ,
while $150.000 goes for the purchase
of more cattle and $50,000 will bo used
for the purchase of sheep.
About $25,000 of the purchase price
will go Into new school buildings ,
while $100,000 will be used for sundry
purposes to Improve the condition of
the Indians. The balance of the money
will be placed In the treasury of the
United States to the credit of the trlbo ,
drawing 4 per cent interest , and a $10
annual cash per capita pavmont will
bo made the Indians , In addition to
the annual per capita payment that
they now receive.
Thus It will be seen that the treaty
is an excellent one for the Indians.
They will be paid for their lands and
the wise provision Is made that a portion
tion of the proceeds of the sale will
go to hotter their condition.
They will have some 2,000,000 acres
of land loft on the ream vation , or
about 1,000 acres for every buck ,
squaw and child In the tribe.
The treaty , of course , must be rati
fied by congress , either by special act
or nn amendment to the regular In
dian appropriation bill. The ratifica
tion can bo sooner accomplished by a
special act , as the appropriation bills
are generally not passed until near the
close of the session , which would
delay It approval but the ratl-
llcutkm is sure to follow.

BROWN VILLE , Neb. , Aug. 16.
United States Senator M. L. Hayward
wno stricken by apoplexy at 1:30 : a. in.
yesterday and Is still very 111 from Its
effects. It was not thought late last
night that the attack would result
fatally.
At 7 p. in. the family physician , Dr.
E. M. Whittcn , said : "Senator Hayward -
ward Is more comfortable at preocnt.
[ Us temperature ; Is 100 , pulse 100 , re
spiration 22. His condition Is still crit-
.cal , but I think ho will recover. Wo
mvo some hopes of removing him
ionic tomorrow , but it Is very doubt
ful. As yet there are no Indications of
clot on the brain or paralysis , which
accompany or follows It , but it Is not
too late for such Indications to appear
and paralysis may follow.
"I think the stroke is probably the
result of the physical changes experi
enced on his recent trip to the moun
tains , where ho found the rare air did
not agree with him nnd ho was foiced
to return homo. I have been his phy
sician twenty-live years and ho never
had a similar stroke before. He had
a strong , robust constitution. Thii nt-
; ack might have been caused by over
heating or over-oxertlon , mental or
physical. "
At 11:25 : p. m. the senator was restIng -
Ing easily with no material change.
Senator Hayward was one of the
speakers billed at the Modern Woodmen -
men picnic hold at this place. There
was a largo crowd present and Senator
Hayward was seated on the platform
chatting pleasantly with friends. He
was not complaining of any indisposi
tion and app red to be in good health
and spirits.
The time had arrived Just oftor 11 a.
m. for him to deliver his address and
10 was just on the point of rising from
ils seat when he was seen to grasp
as If seeking for some support and
then fall to the platform. As the large
audience realized that something seri
ous had happened to him there was
great excitement , but there were some
cool heads among those present who
realized that something must be done
quickly.
Drs. Galthcr and Crane , who were
present , made their way to the stricken
nan. Under their instructions the
Woodmen formed In line around the
place where ho lay to keep the crowd
from surging in and shutting out the
air , and the doctors themselves set to
work to revive Mr. Hayward. This
trover a most difficult task and it was
almost two hours before the patient
showed any decided signs of reviving
consciousness.
Shortly after 2 o'clock he had re
vived sufllclently to be able to talk
some and the doctors had strong hopes
of the senator's ultimate recovery. He
was removed to a place where he could
liave better care and made as comfort
able as possible under the circum
stances.
NEBRASKA CITY , Aug. 16. A bull
letm from Brownvlllo received at 8 p.
m. states that Senator Hayward is
resting easily and is believed to be out
of danger. He has full control of his
mental faculties and appears to be
gradually recovering from the effect
of the paralytic stroke. His wife and
Dr. Whltten of this city arc at his bed
side. If he is thought able to stand
the trip he will be brought homo this
morning.

the war to an end and In advance wo
reject any and all schemes of compro
mise.
"Our Information and experience
justify the opinion that the body of
anti-Imperialists the country over will
disregard the claims of democratlo
questions , subordinating them one and
all to the single purpose of compre
hensive public policy the purpose to
bring the army of the United States
out of the Philippine Islands with the

civilians had been Imprisoned , they
found the names of the prisoners
scratched on the walls of the jail.
Some letters from the men were found
secreted under stones and a Spaniard
who had been Intrusted with several
presented them to General Lawton.
The letters told of the hardships the
men were compelled to suffer and
begged that aid be sent to them. The
men complained that they had been
starved , beaten and bound , and , more
over , were In rags.

I'rotealliii ; New Inventions.
H. H. Y. , of Omaha , Neb , asks : "Is
lliure any method of establishing
priority of Invention except by a ca
veat ? " Answer : Wo commenced filing
Incomplete applications in lieu of ca
veats twenty years ago am ! such prac
tice has boon followed by other attor
neys. W. D. Baldwin , vine president
of the Patent Law abhcclatlon of
Washington is on record as saying in
a practice of forty-two years he never
found a caveat benefit any of his
clients. There Is a strong probability
that congress will abolish the caveat
system.
The caveat fees are an unnecessary
expense. An application puch as wo
prepare and file at Washington upon
the receipt of the first fee , $20 , will bo
legal protection for one jcar. Any
other way of fixing date of priority of
Invention Is uncertain.
Consultation and advice about pro
tecting Inventions free.
