WASHINGTON , Sept. 1C ( Special Tele-
; ram ) Through the earnest efforts of Scn-
itor Thurston and Assistant Secretary of
War Mciklcjohn concessions of the utmost
mpertanco to the cattlemen of North and
South Dakota will be made by the commis
sioner of Indian affalis , permitting cattle
men to drive their cattle through Iho Great
Sioux rcb'Tvation under regulations to bo
leclded upon within a diy or two. Senator
Mien and John A. McShanc came to Wash-
ngton some weeks ago In the Interest of the
South Omaha stock yards and cattlemen In
he Dakotas to secure a lease from the Sioux
ndtans of Hose-bud Agency for a driveway
for cattle through the Indian lands. The
proper machinery lo secure a lease was at
once set In motion , n council of the tilbes
vas called and Inspector McLaughllu was
kcnt to Rosebud Agency-Jo rcpicsent the In-
Hiiti bureau at the council which was held
on August 2G. After heating the pies and
cons of permitting such a driveway to bo
opened up , the Indians decided against the
ttoposltlon. Inspector McLaughlln later
made his report anil so far ro the lease was
.onccrned the whole matter was abandoned ,
Messrs Thurston and Melklejohii , after borne
concspondence with officials of the Union
Jtock Yards company , saw a way In which
o attain the end desired. This morning
Messrs. Thurston and Mclklejohn had a long
conference with Commlss'oner Jones , In
which they made application for the grant-
ng of permits to cattlemen to drive across
the leservallon. The situation was gone
over In all Its bearings the Importance of
such permits being shown forcibly. After
: oiisultatlonlth Major Larrabeo , who
JIIOHB more about Indian questions than any
other man In the Indian affairs office , the
commissioner decided that such permits
could be Issued by the department , sur-
ounded by safeguards to protect the reserva
tion as well as the lights of the Indians
[ laving succeeded In accomplishing this
much , Thurston and Melklejohn asked that
these permits be made special , In view of
the urgency attending the case , and the com
missioner at once fell Into the way of the
Nebraskan's thought. Commissioner Jones
eald that the agents at Pine Hldgo and Rose
bud would be Immediately Instructed to Is
sue permits on application after regulations
had been agreed upon. The commissioner
thought that cattlemen should make applica
tion to the department at Washington , but
tie was told of the delay that would necos-
snilly ensue If such a course was taken , and
tui agreed to allowing the agents at Pine
Hldge and Hosebud to Issue permits for a
driveway to all applicants desiring to use
the trail for their cattle , Immediately upon
the adoption of regulations made essential
tjy the treaty with the Indians , ( lie agents
will bo Instructed to grant the cattlemen
who deslro It the use of a small strip of ter
ritory through the leservatlon for cattle
driving purposes.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 16. Commissioner
Huttci worth and < Assl8t nt Commissioner
Grccley of the patent office are tngaged In
putting In Khapj amendments to be offered to
the treaty existing among the lending na
tions of the world "Kor
the protection ol In
dustrial property. "
A meeting cf the representatives of these
nations has been called to convene In Brus
sels next December , and It Is the purpose
of this country to secure If possible certain
modifications of the present agreement. The
convention was entered npon for the purpose
of | rotcctlug patents , trade marks and other
similar Interests. Article. It of the treaty
Is ( mi which this country wilt seek to hive
changed. As the article stands tt provides
that the cltl/en.s of each of the contracting
states shall enjoy In all , the other states the
same advantages ( hat are given to the citi
zens of those states U has been found that
this provision works a hardship upon our
people taking out patents abroad entirely out
of proportion to the tax upon foreigners tak
ing out patents In this country. The Inten
tion Is now to ask for A reciprocal arrange
ment. In some .countries to become the
owner of a patent right coats an American ,
as well < IB a citizen , from $300 to $700 , while
the uniform rate In this Country Is $35.
Tha effort will bo made to amend that
ticaty , making our rates to them equal to
their rates to us. There will also bo a pro
vision so that the subject of another country
cannot patent an articio In the United States
upon which he cannot secure a patent In
his own country. This modification his been
suggested by the attitude of Germany. In
that country a patent may be uutalned for a
chemical process , but not on the product. H
is asserted that this results very disastrously
to our Interests , enalillnp German manufac
turers In some Interests to control our
market ,
An amendment will also be suggested on
behalf of this country to article Iv so as to
define more clearly the right of priority and
put Inventors of this country on the same
footing as those of other countries where
patents are giantedwlhouttho ( preliminary
examinations which the service may require

DES M01NES , Sept. 16 ( Special Tele
gram ) The situation among the striking
miners In this county Is critical , with Indi
cations that rioting nnj take place at any
time. About 2,001) ) men arc now striking , and
less than 200 are at work. The supply of
coal has been exhausted and some of the
largest Industries of the city ha\c been com-
rielled to Import coal from other Iowa points
The minors propose to have this stopped ,
through the Intervention of thu Mine
Workers' union , and this w 111 precipitate the
crisis The street railway company has been
unable to get coal from Its regular sources
and today It was discovered that the Flint
Valley Coal company was supplvlng It clan
destinely. The Flint company has had 100
men at work , It being suppo'ed all their coal
was used In the big brick manufactory con
ducted bj the companv. The men wcte paid
[ > y the day and were not called out.hen
It was discovered the company was selling
coal the men v.cre called out , leaving the
Christy company the only one doing any
work. Some of Its men have been harshly
treated by the strikers , and trouble Is Im
minent ,
Nearly all the ntrikers live In company
liouses and the effort will be made this week
or next to eject them The men sij they will
demand thirty dajs" legal notice. The com
panies will undeitako to eject them without
this formally , In order to make quarters for
new men who are to be Imported. The
strikers declare llrmly that they will oppose
with force all efforts to dispossess them be-
fere the month from their notification to
leave. Sjmpathles of the community are al
together with the strikers , who have bieu
notoriously worked on starvation wages.

HAZLETON , Pa. , Sept. 16 The American
Federation of Labor has taken up the cause
of the mine workers In this region Their
organizers are already at work heie and
when this has been completed a uniform
seals will be formulated and presentel to
the operators. There will be no marching
or anything lu the nature of a demonstration
and no attempt will be made to bring about
sympathy strike movements.
A body of 150 men and bojs , led by a
score of women , made a raid on the Carson
Star and Monarch collieries at Honej Brook ,
near Audenreld , today. The women as well
as their followers were armed with clubs
and stones and before the 300 workers could
be Induced to come out the missiles wcic
used , ' Some of the women stationed them
selves on top of a bank and pelted the men
with stones One Hungarian was clubbed
over the head and badly Injured. The en
counter was tha result of an attempt to start
up the Lehlgh and Wllkcsbarre mines.
Despite , the determination to""remaln out
until a decision regarding the 10 'per cent
demanded advance was received , a number of
Hungarians and Italians reported foi work
this morning As soon as this news reached
Dunkcr Hill and Honey Brook , the attack
was made , each colliery being visited In
turn. The superintendent called for the as-
sUtanco of Sheriff Scott , and that gentle
man made a demand on General Gobiu for
help. A battalion of the Eighth regiment
hurried to the scene , but It was over and
the men scattered when the soldleis reachea
there. The soldiers lud not been out of
sight ten minutes before a crowd of strikers
pounced upon a squad of Hungarians who
were screening coal neai the Star washerj ,
and forced them to quit. This second move
ment resulted in the sending of a squadron
of the Governor's troop to the disturbed dla-
trlct this afternoon. They returned with the
report that all was quiet.
Governor Hastings tonight sent a tele
gram to General Gobln , ordering him to
suppress all meetings tending to incite a
riot. The streets of Hazleton were quiet
today , and Interest Is now directed to the
lesult of the coroner's Inquest , which will
be held Monday or Tuesday.

ST. LOUIS , Sept. 16 , The coal miners'
strike Is over so far as the district supply
ing the St. Louis market Is concerned. Sev
enteen mines In the sixth Illinois district
returned work today. It is probable that all
the small operators In the district will come
into line before the end of the week. The
Du Quoin men will return to work Friday
morning. The representatives of the strikers
were met by seventeen of the Independent
operators. The men submitted a proposi
tion for a scale of 37 cents a ton top weight ,
mine run. After a long consultation It was
accepted later In the afternoon. The big
Consolidated and Madison companies Ignored
the call for the conference. They now have
n three-cornered fight on their hands The
Independent operators and the miners agiecd
to make common warfare on the two big
companies. The small operators will employ
as many as possible of the strikers founerlv
employed by the Madison and Consolidated
companies. It Is probable that double shlftB
rill be worked. The Consolidated and Mail-
isou companies will not be able to get men
to dig coal fet them until they sign the
scale.

as It did in the petty disagreement between
the Lehlgh and Wllkesbarro company mule
drivers and their cmplojerb , and having
spread until it now affects nearly 10,000 men
and most of the principal operator of the
middle coal fields , this strike has been one
of the moat pecullai ever Inaugurated In the
legion. The mlneia have no organization
In many Instances they do not know exactly
for what they struck , except that they felt
that they have been unfairly treated and
that they want more pay. In fiO per cent of
the Idle collieries they are at a loss to say
how much they want , and In KUth eases they
have quit work without even asking for un
Increase.
