DEMAND LOWER RENTS.
Mill Men at Carnegie' YYorka Working
to Secure a Heduotion.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 2. The mill
men at the Carnegie works, Beaver
Falls, have inaugurated a movement
which will probably be joined by all
the wage earners In that vicinity to se
cure a general reduction of
rents. The men who have re
cently been reduced in wages
in't that it is impossible to
continue paving high rates on low
wages and that the cut on rents must
correspond with the cut in their earn
ings. On the same lines an effort will
be made to secure something in the
shape of concessions in prices from the
leading mercantile establishments, in
cluding bntchers, bakers, grocers, etc.
A similar movement has been started
among the business men and working
men at Mi'Keesport, and during the
wcekademmd will bo made on all
landlords for reduced rents.

WisniNGToN, Jan. 1. New Year's
opened bright aud clear with more
crisp. nesa in the air than during all
of tho holiday week. Tho day was
more generally observed here than in
mobt cities, and while the custom of
keeping open housa Is falling into
desuetude with the more fashionable
set, official society observes the cus
tom and in many homes p irties were
made up to receive all callurs. These
receptions, however, did not begin
till after noon.
The eventof the morning and the
early afternoon was the presidential
reception at the white house. The
executive mansion had been made
especially attractive for the oecasion.
The floral decorations were tasteful,
but not elaborate. Festoons of smilax
were everywhere In elaborate profus
ion, froji the friezes of the walls,
from gas and electric light fixtures
and in the window embrasures. In
the state dining room potted palms
were placed. In the red room a row
of Chinese primroses stood on the
mantel piece, backed by green planta
Palms were clustered before the fire
place and in the corners of the room.
The blue room in which the presi
dent and receiving party stood showed
the brightest flower effects. The day
light was wholly shut out' of this
room and the great chandelier, with
its glittering crystal pendants, was
all ablaze. Before the window to the
southward were grouped palms and
plants, the gorgeous 6carlet leaves of
the Christinas plant being the con
spicuous feature. On the west mantle
piece were Chinese primroses again.
The shelf on this side of the room was
a bank of bright flowers roses, lilacs,
carnations, tulips.and white hyacinths.
The east room decorations r'ere con
fined to greens, with a few Chinese
primroses peeping from recesses here
and there.
The arrangements for the reception
were interrupted about 10 o'clock,
when a mild mannered woman, evi
dently of unbalanced mind, arrived
with the announcement that she was
there to take possession. She was
politely shown through the lower
floors of the building by Captain Dex
ter, the chief usher, and then quietly
escorted away by a policeman.
Promptly at 11 o'clock the Marine
band stationed in the other corridor
of the mansion struck up "Hail to the
Chief," which was the signal for the
beginning of the receptions. In an
other moment the nretiidcntial party
appeared at tho middle landing lead
ing from the private 4utn w.r0 above
to the reception rooms below. First
came Colonel Wilson and Captain
Pitcher, U. 8. A , in full uniform.
Then followed President Cleveland
with Mrs. Cleveluud on hit arm.
The president wore his conventional
garb of black, with Prince Albert
coat There was a buutonniere iu his
lapel.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. L It is openly
charged here that there is a discrep
ancy of over $320,000 between the
state auditor's books and thosevf the
state treasurer. After spending more
than two weeks in checking up the
discrepancy, although the auditor
has had nis figures fully verified,
the books fail to balance by about
$223,000.
It is also charged that althoegh the
state is now paying over f 43,000 a year
interest on outstanding warrants, it
la not getting a penny of interest on
nearly Jl.oou.ooo which the state treas
urer has placed on deposit la the
banks. This means that the state la
paying out 84c, 000 a year interest
when its warrants could have been re
deemed and the state is losing from
$.'5,000 to $30,000 a year in interest on
funds which responsible banks were
ready to give the very best of bonds
under the act of 191.
The tangle in the state treasury it
held to indicate that there is some
thing wrong in the methods of ac
counting, and the enormous value of
outstanding warrants Indicates the
most reck ess financiering. Accord
ing to Auditor Moore the state debt
now exceeds f 1,00 1,000 when it is lim
ited by the constitutionto 8300,000 and
the debt is still increasing at the rate
of $19,000 a month.

WAsniNGTON, Jan. 3. There it quite
serious trouble ahead In regard to the
title to our recently acquired Indian
lands an empire themselves in ex
tent. The development of the diffi
culty has been gradual, but the grav
ity of the matter is not fully appre
ciated, and it is quite probable that
the question may come up for action
immediately on the reassembling of
congresa In fact, just before con
gress dispersed for the Christmas hol
idays Senator Kyle of South Dakota,
December SI, introduced a resolution
In the senate which brought out th
essential facts of the difficulty.
Mr. Kyle's preamble recited that by
article 13 of the treaty between tkc
United States and the Sioux Indiana
it waa provided that "no treaty for
the cession of any portion or part ot
the reservation herein described,
which may be held in common, hall
be of any validity or force against th
eaid Indians unless exercised, executed
and s gncd by three-fourths of all tn
adult male Indiana occupied or Inter
ested in the same," and further that
" the two acts of Congress, both dated
March 3, 1880, entitled 'acts to divide
portion of the Sioux nations of Indian
in Dakota into separate reservation
end to assist the Indian title to the
remainder, and for other Durnoses.
and the appropriation bill, approved
March 9, 1880, show upon their fan
that they were signed br a number oi
adult Indiana of the whole blood, lea
in number than the three-fourths a
provided in the said treaty, and thai
In order to obtain the necessarv three-
fourths aforesaid divera mixed blood
were solicited, and were Dermitted to.
and did sign, such treaty made by th
commission on the part of the United
States, acting under such acts of con,
gress dated as aforesaid. March 3, 1889.
"And. whereas, the secretary of the
interior of the United Statea haa de
cided, as It is claimed, that divera of
the mixed bloods who signed as afora-
said, such treaty made with said com
mission, are not Indians In contempla
tion of law, and that they and their
families are not entitled to anv rights
or privileges whatever in the land.
the secretary of the interior is di
rected to transmit to the senate forth

directions that he has given in respect
to

hawk" case, that the status f
of a child born of an In-'
dian woman and a white father
follows the condition of the father. ,
This decision, though involving no
new principle of law, has been sue- '
nended because of its far-reaching ef
fect. Carried out to its logical con
clusion, it would invalidate pretty
well all our Indian treaties. Over 10,
0OO.CO0 acrea were acquired under our
treaty agreements with the Kioux
lone, and a targe proportion of the
signatures to that agreement were

The same condition ot facta will ap

acres of land. It is quite likely that
other agreements of former years, and
