LAWYERS FROM EVERY CLIME \ f Dual Meeting of American Bar and Interna tional Law Association. WILL CONVENE AT BUFFALO THIS MONTH ( Geuornl Mnnilrrnoii 'Will Prrnlilf nnil QiirNllniiM of I'nrniiiiiiiiit Interest Will lie niniMiNNiMl liy inil- : nent Jurlnti. The annual meeting of the American Bar association , the great event of the year In legaT circles , will occur at Buffalo on the last thrco days of August. Peculiar Interest nttnches to this meeting on account of the fact that It is Immediately followed by the flrwt meeting of the International Law asso ciation Hint has ever been held on this side of the Atlantic. The combination ot two rsuch Important events Is expected to bring together the man dlBtlngulshcil assemblage of men eminent in the legal profession that lias over been known In this country , and as Eomo of the discussions deal with the great 1 questlonu of constitutional ! law ( hat are involved In the present administrative situa tion they nro anticipated with more than ordinary IntoretU. Omaha Is Incidentally complimented by the fact that , In the uli cence erf lion , Joseph II. Choato , president of the association , GeneraF Charles F. Man- del-son of this city has been designated < by the executive committee to preside and to deliver the president's address. The American Bar association ban been In cxlutcnicq for fAcnty-two years and every state and territory except Nevada Is repre sented In Its nionibcrshlp of between 1,500 and ICOO attorneys. Its meetings occur an nually and the high character of the men who participate In Its deliberations has made its proceedings notable ull over the world. ' rolls the next convention V > \\n \ \ General Mnnderson vention 'to ' order In IJuftalo ho will sit In a chut that has been occupied by moro than n f Arc of the most celebrated legal luml- nnrln of the last quarter of a century. The llrst \resldcnt \ of the ntsoclsitlon was James O. Imadhead of St. Louis and since then ithe o nitlvo chair has been occupied suc- cesslviV t > y Benjamin II. HrMow of New- York , Mward J.

The present ex ecutive Is Jn 'ph II. Choate , who was re- cenlry appolmd by President McKlnloy as American mlmtcr to Kngland , running n ml Oruimliiillon. Tbo object o the association , as defined by Its constlli'lon ' , la "To advance the tclcnco of Jurlstudenco , promote the ad ministration ofustlce \ and uniformity ef legislation throubout the union , la uphuH the honor of thejrofesslon of law and en & courage social Intercourse among the memI I ibers of the American 'bar. ' In addition to the usual officers the asI I noclattcn < has a council composed of one j member from this state nnd this constitutes j the standing committee on nominations. General John C. Cowln re-presents Nebraska In this council. There nro also standing committees on various matters of para mount importance to the legal profession , and each state 'bar association Is entitled to a representation of thrco delegates at each annual meeting. Applications for membership - j ship must bo tndorsexl by the local member of the general council and the only other requirement Is that the applicant must have practiced In the highest court of the state for at least flve years. Judge Mutigcr of the Unltod States district court In Nebraska will become a member of the association at the Buffalo meeting nnd one or two other prominent Nebraska lawyers will prob ably follow his example. The sessions of the association will be hold In the council chamber In the city hall In Buffalo 'beginning Monday morning , August 28. After an addroso of welcome on behalf of the Buffalo bar , General Mandcr- ( on will deliver the annual president's ad dress , which Is regarded as ono of the most Important documents that conic , -before the meeting. This is designed to communicate all the noteworthy changes that have been I made during the year on points of general j Interest , not only by congress , but by the ) legislatures of the various states. That I 11 i no easy task to prepare such a paper Is evident -when the vast amount of stale nnd national legislation that Is crowded Into every twelve months Is considered. This year the Held that must bo covered Is ex ceptionally wide. There 'hnvo been legis lative sessions In forty states and the vol ume of legislation that han been enacted is almost without precedent. The amount of matter that General Manderson has been compelled to go through to prepare himself for the task IK something formidable ! . Hugo volumes of session laws , legislative proceed ings nnd congressional records occupy all the available room In hlo otlleo and the ag gregate * mass of material that ho has ex amined would tax the capacity of any ordi nary library. All this vast accumulation of Icglulntlvo effort must 'bo ' carefully sifted , I the most Important features extracted nnd I the whole mass of notable legislation must ; bo brought within the limits of a single ad dress , i Next In Importance to the address of the | president Is considered the annual address j of the meeting which will delivered by Senator William Llndsey of Kentucky , Tues day morning. This address usually deals with what Is conBrtlcrcd the most Important question of constitutional or international law that Is then prominently before the pub lic and In accordance with this custom Sen ator Llndsey will discuss "The Power of Ihe United States Under Its Constitution to Expand Its Territory. " Another Interesting paper will bo contributed by Sir William R. Kennedy , a justice ot the high court of justice of Kugland. Aimtlirr ( irrut OrKiinl iitlo . The meeting ot the International Law as sociation will bo held In the same buildIng - Ing on Ibo first tbreo days ot September. This organization was formed at Brussels in 1S73 , just after tbo work of the Geneva tribunal on the Alabama awards was com pleted and Its primary object Is to promote and encourage International arbitration , Ono of ita earliest presidents was David Dudley Field ot New York , who said In hi * address before Ibe association la Liv erpool In 1S90 ; "This association was be gun In the- hope that It might do something toward forming a strong public opinion which should compel recourse to arbitration instead of war for disagreement of na tions and thus bring about general disarma ment and peace. " There have been eighteen conferences of this association , all of which have been held in England or on the continent. Among the subjects that have 'been ' discussed are quar antine , war Indemnity , fishery rights , terri torial waters , International copyright , Inter national patent rights and bills of lading. Among the honorary vice presidents who have represented the United States on Its official roster are Stephen J. Field , Carl Schurz , Judge William C. Bndlcott , Chief Justice Walto nnd John Jay. The meeting of this organization Is ex pected to attract at least half a hundred of the most eminent lawyers of foreign countries. Among these will bo Sir Richard Webster , attorney general of England , and Sir Wilfrid Laurler , the Canadian premier , who will speak at the banquet that will bo tendered the two organizations by the Erie county bar at the Klllcott club on Wednes day evening. Ample arrangements have been mndo by the committee of the Erlo county bar , of which Hon. Wilson II.

COMES TO OMAHA WITH HIS FOLLOWERS Penrcnltlc Mnn , lint Strm AVlii-n Ills I'eoplc Arc Wronisetl The Slour a Jfntlon Without Hope for the Future. Little Wound , the most exalted In rank ot the whole band of Sioux Indians that ar rival tit the exposition Monday morning , oc cupies a unique position among modern In diana. Ho Is ono c-f tlio tow clilefa still actlvo In the affairs ot his tribe who iias also been In his day one of Us great fight ing leaders. Little Wound was the gon- cral of his people when Dr. McGllllcuddy , who Is In the city nt present , was govcrn- mout ascut among the Sioux. "Little Wound la really an able general , " said Dr. McOllllcuddy the other day. "It was ho who , two dayn after the 'battle of Wounded Knee , when Forsyth took the Sev enth cavalry out In pursuit of the Indians , caught him In a canyon and had him pretty badly penned In. Ho would have given them a desperate struggle had not Guy V. Henry , lately military governor of San tiago , come to his rescue with the Ninth. Little Wound Is a man of considerable character. Ho Is very peaceably disposed as a usual thing , but has a stern nature and would not hesitate to fight If howere convinced that it was neccnsary. When I was amcng his people and the Indiana were gathering every night to recount their wrongs , ho never went to the meetings. Ho told them that If ho had anything to com plain of ho 'would go right to the agent. And he did. Ho came In many a tlmo to toll mo what ho thought of the way the government was doing , "With the solo exception of Rod Cloud , Little Wound Is the highest chief of the Sioux nation. Red Cloud 'being now so old IB not actlvo In the direction of affairs. Ho IB the real representative of the old line cf chiefs which Sitting Hull and Young- Man-Afraid were conspicuous examples and Little Wound connects with them. Little Wound has led hU people through some of the bloodiest struggles they have had with the white men. It was ho who op posed General Harnoy In the northern part of Nebraska. Mini a. KJKlilliiK UllJMn I'lmt , "Tho fighting strength of the Sioux na tion is now , of course , a thing of the past. They number about 24,000 , and are the larseet surviving nation of Indians. Hut they will probably never give the govern ment serious trouble. The older men , who have been through it , realize the helpless ness of It. and no longer lend their aid to an uprising , except when they got into a certain frame of nilnd. Sometimes an In dian will get to brooding over hla wrongs , the loss of his , lands and his freedom , and become desperate. Then ho thinks that as he will die anyway without accomplishing anything , ho may us well have his revenge while It lasts , no matter what the out come. In such a mood an Indian -will often make trouble who would not otherwise do so. And when the Indians , no matter how peaceable they may be , are pushed too hard by the whites they will rise against thorn. That was the case In the rising of the Chlppcwas last summer , and should the conditions which .brought . about the last war with the Sioux ever exist again there would probably bo trouble , though there Is never any doubt of the outcome. "But the young men , who have the fight ing Instinct and have never been through any fights , are hard to convince of the utter hopelessness of the struggle. They cannot realize , unless they have 'been in Carlisle college , or some such school for the In dians , and have been around a great deal among the whites-that they cannot possi bly win In the end. That Is the reason why Indian outbreaks now occur at long In tervals. They only happen when a now generation comes of a. fighting ago. "Tho extermination ot the buffalo has made -marked change In the bearing of the Indians. While there were buffaloes In plenty they were independent of the gov ernment and could go out on the -warpath without fear of toeing cut off from tholr commissariat. I was among the Indians when the buffaloes were -wiped out and I noticed the change at once. They know now that they must come to the Great Father for their living. It has taken the fight out cf them to n great extent , and It has also taken the man out of them. They < are more worthless , oven If they arc less warlike. I would rather try to make something out of Indians Just off the war path than Indians who had been living for years In Idleness , fed by the government. "Tho Nnvajoes , I believe , are the next tribe In strength , numbering 17,000 or 18,000 persons. I should not bo surprised If the government would some tlmo have trouble with them. The Indians are beginning to icallzo themselves the cane with which the government can hurry troops to the point of I inutile , hemmed In as all the Indians nro by the railroads. Sioux 1'tixlly fiovprnril. "I think It Is greatly to the credit of the Sioux nation that for the seven years I was un agent among them , sixty miles from any troops , wo never had any serious trouble with them. If I had had 4,000 or 0,000 of any other nationality living under the same conditions of Idleness and du- pcndcnco they would have had me assassi nated In a very short time. It would ruin any men to receive what they needed of fowl and clothes without doing a stnglu thing. The Sioux don't do anything , because - cause there In nothing for hm ! to do. None of the so-called farm land that Is left of their original reservation can bo farmed with any success at all. There arc a few little pockets fit for kitchen gardens , but no farms. It Is nothing but grazing land , no rainfall and no streams largo enough for Ir rigating purposes. The Indians know very well that whcro the Great Spirit net the little bunches of buffalo grass nothing eUo will grow. The government sent out reap ers and harvestcrB and threshers , ono after another. I told them of the uselcssncas of it all , but they would not believe It. Lately they have begun to realize that the Sioux cannot farm where they are. "Hut even if they wore where the condi tion were different , it would bo too much to expect of them that they pass at once Into the condition of farmers from the condition of savazes. Wo say to the Indian , 'Why don't you work ? ' and forgot that there la not u single people In the world which has passed at once from savagery to clvlllzatlou. They have alt gone through the uoinadlc and pastoral states first. It took generation after generation to transform us from cave dwellers , gnawing bones , into tillers of the soil. Yet we wonder why the Indian Is so slow to dhange his ways. "I do not expect the Sioux as a nation will over become civilized. You cannot persuade them that they have anything to gain by exchanging their mode of living for that of the white man. Its just the same as though you were to ask white men to take up the ways of the Indian , and In fact It Is an easier pr'occes to change a civilized man Into a savage than the reverse. The Indians have never worked and have never had to bother themslvcs about their support. They have been trained In these ways for generation after generation and they will not glvo them Tip. " I.AIIOH AXD INDUSTRY. In Italy 000,000 people find employment In rearing silk worms. Car builders nt Huntlngton , W. Va. , wore granted a slight increase In wages during the week. The productive capacity of labor-saving machinery nt the present time is equal to a hand-working population of 400,000,000. The Colorado State Federation of Labor , by a vote of C3 to 13 , declined to ally that body with the fcoclallst labor party. It is llttlo more than a year since laborers were seeking work at 90 cents a day in Plttsburg. Now work Is seeking laborers at $1.50 per day. New York City Carpenters' union , through the tool insurance fund , recently paid Its members the t > um of $ GSO for loss of tools in a fate lire there. Hoports of officers of the International Typographical union to the convention nt Detroit will show an increase In member ship during < ho last year of 2,032. Slnco November IB , 1S98 , through the efforts of organized labor In enforcing the stnto factory laws , nearly 1,000 , children have been taken out of the factories of Wis consin. New York Typographical union ( "Hlx Six" ) at Its July meeting initiated sixty- eight machine tenders , -who formerly styled themselves a Union of Linotype Kn- glncors. All the co-opcratlvo glass pCants of the United States have closed down. Until the wage scale Is signed for the next "lire , " and the tlmo set for resuming , no glassware will bo made at thc o establishments. Preparations are now being tnado to ntart a co-oppratlvo colony on the shores of Lake Krlonear Toledo , O. As It Is to be on : i i larger scale than any heretofore , success I seems quite assured. The plan i-mbrarea the J building of a largo commercial town nnd nil profits arising from trade will lie equally divided among the members of the colony. The most expensive- labor temple in the world is nt Paris , France. It cost Paris $400,000 and was erected in 1S92. Klgbly- two organizations pay a nominal1 rent for headquarters , The city annually npproprl- . ales $10,000 for Its maintenance. The au thorities claim it has done an immense amount of good In promoting the welfare of the working Classen. A labor temple will soon be considered ono of the Indispensable things for organised Tabor. Many have been erected and morn are in contemplation. Now comes the cry from the Ilaltimoro Federation of Labor that they have long felt the need of a temple In which all affiliated organizations could have headquarters and a committee will at once Inquire into the feasibility of erecting this building and 7carn the best way of ue- curing funds for that purpose.

Ho carefully makes out a brief of his subject beforehand , corrects this , commits It to memory nnd destroys It. At a meeting of the last Presbyterian gen eral assembly an effort was mndo to secure funds to Bond a young Princeton graduate to 'India as a missionary. A young woman took from her flnccr u ring nnd put It on the iilato. The ring was sold by auction lit the meeting nnd In ten inlnutrs It was pur chased for J318 and returned to the owner. About 17& Congregational churches have adopted the Individual communion cup. Chicago complains of Now York for win ning away so many of Its clergymen. The researches of a careful statistician show that no city In the country pays as wull for a sermon as Gotham. In the west $3 per dis course Is the ruling price , but In Now York the average Iluctuatea between $18 nnd $30 , the latter being the latest quotation.
