VIEWS ARE MADE BROADER
Result of the National Convention of
bmaloyera and Kmnloyes at
Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 25. The na
tional convention, of employer and em
ploye csme to an end this afternoon. Its
result have been a broadening of the views
and knowledge of tbose who attended and
the appointment of a committee to arrange
permanent organisation.
The leaders, however, are disappointed
at the lack of Interest shown by the large
employer of labor In the Twin Cities.
President Cyrus Nortbrup, who Is presi
dent of the University of Minnesota, ad
verted to this In an addreaa this morning,
in which he ssld that Important Interests
had declined to give the movement their
aupport, fearing it would cause unrest.
"I believe, though." said he, "that the In
fluence of this meeting Is going to be for
the permanent peace of Industrial forces in
the Unlfed States..
E. F. Clark of Cedar Rapids. Prof. Frsnk
L. McV'ey of the University of Minnesota
and W. D. Wlman of Mollne, 111., were
named as a committee to consider the
question of permanent organization. Tbn
first paper of th morning was by Charles
Zublln, University of Chicago, on "The Re
lation of the Public to Capital and Labor."
He enumerated these four reasons why the
public Is Interested in Industry:
1. Consumption Is the root of all pro
duction. ' '
2. ' The captain' of' Industry Is Indirectly
the agent of society." ' '
3. Tbe worklngraan's "standard of living
determines the. character of our civilisa
tion. ;
4. The public ma? be expected to assume
certain .industries for , the proper satisfac
tion of human wants. Vofler the second
head be said : . '
The impudence . of , the blasphemous and
Inefficient representative of the anthracite
trust who proclaims himself the chosen of
Ood, would receive effective rebuke if It
were not that the iiaural resources of
America prevent a proper appreciation of
the attitude. of anarobtats. who have been
granted by society the privilege of owning
the anthracite coal beds.
W. C. Ewen, secretary-treasurer of th
Minnesota Federation of ' Labor, spoke of
th.e future relation of labor and capital.
Friction, he said, was inevitable until
some plan was devised of bringing trust
and labor organisations together and in
the present convention be saw tbe begin
ning of such plan.
The afternoon waa devoted to discus
sions. SORRY DAY FOR THE .OUTLAWS

I the Matter,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. With the ex
pectatlon of being ready to. present to con
gree at tbe opening of it next session a
fabric of treaties between the United
State and Cuba, negotiation are pending
between Mr. Queaada, tbe Cuban minister
and the State department with regard to

and a treaty to adjust the title to tbe 11
of Pine.
. It is th purpose of Minister Quesada. it
s stated, to draw up. th commercial treaty
on reciprocity lines. Th tale.' of such a
treaty will depend naturally on congres-
ional action on the subjefct of Cuban reel
proclty.
An extradition treaty between tbe United
State and Cuba already bas been drafted.
The provision for the establishment of civil
government In Cuba omitted the Isle of
Pinea from the constitutional boundaries
of Cuba and left Ita title to future definl
tton by treaty. Tbe United States ba de

GERMANY WILL STAND ALOOF
Doe Sot Propose to Formally Ally
Itself with United State la Work
ins for Roumanian Jews.
BERLIN, Sept. 25. Germany haa deter
mined not to associate itself In a formal
manner with tbe American and British
protests against Roumanla' treatment of
the Jewa.
The German government adopta this atti
tude, It is understood, independently ot
other continental powers, no agreement
having been reached In the matter among
the cablneta of athe continent. Germany
consider that other paraphrases beside
article 44 of the very precise Berlin
treaty of 1878 have not been insisted on.
For Instance Roumanian fort have not
been raxed to the ground and Russia ia
allowing Batoum to remain, aa It waa be
fore the treaty. This is not tbe tlma,
Germany thinks, to oblige Roumanla to
ohaerve any particular provision ot the
treaty. Besides, Germany, although sym
pathizing sincerely with the deplorable
condition of the Jew in Roumanla, feel
unable to Interfere In an international
question.
Oermana are large holders of Roumanian
securities and an international atorm over
th policy to which Premier Bturdza ot
Roumanla la fully committed, might cause
his fall, and aa result Roumanian finance
would be withdrawn from hla capable con
trol. A heavy drop in Roumanian funda
would cause corresponding lojses here. The
representative of tbe Associated Press in
Berlin Is Informed that Germany believe
the moral strength of the American and
British position, in connection with the
very practical measures taken by great
financial bouses, will Induce Roumanla sub
stantially to modify the rigors of (he trade
law. Germany may possibly supplement
these Influences by private representations
made without taking part In collective action
should the other power find a common
baaia upon which to act. In German offi
cial quarter there Is not believed to be
the slightest possibility of such collective
action being taken, Russia and Auatrla es
pecially being determined not to move In
the matter.
The Tageblatt today print letter from
Bucharest, cspltal ot Roumanla, dated Srp
tember 22, as follows:
"The Washington note came like a ray
of sunshine from stormcloud for. the
Jewish population, especially th laboring
elaaaea. who conceived the hope that a
favorabl turn must result from th Inter-
ference of mlahty America. How naive
these unhappy people ere. eagerly reaching
for any strsw promising them reecur. Bui
their Jubilation hns been of short duration.
The only effect the American note has
had so far it an order, according to ihe
Roumanian newspapers, that no more em!
giatlon passports be issued without the
ususl tax of $1. It Is even reported tha'
no emigration passporta will be grsnted.
The spirit of the government is: Ve are
masters here." Nevertheless It I disposed
to be polite and consldcrste toward the
United Slstes. It Intends to show this
by preventing emigration to the lulled
States.
'There Is much talk here about 'Yankee
arrogance, but they laugnea in meir
sleeves so long as the .Ymerlcsn note was
without European support. But the news
thst Englsnd bad followed with a similar
step caused vexstlon. If the continental
powers act Jointly H Is possible that the
Roumanian Jewish question may become
ute. But the government has bad much
expet lence In meeting protests In behalf of
the Jews."

Recollections of CamnnlanlnK in the j
Dakota When the Moox Were
Busy Reenv erinft stolen

Major Reubtn King of the United State
Pension bureau and Mr. 8. ..I. Block,
a notary public, served in the Plotix
ar of 1866 to 1KH9, a campaign re
plete with massacres, reprisals and atroci
ties of the most outragrous nnd revolt
ing character. At the close of the crvll war
the Sioux and other tribes of th-- northwest
reached th conclusion that the way -was
clear for a general slaughter of the whites,
and from about 1S6 to 1SS9 they were en
gaged In perpetual hostilities.
In those day tbe garrisons which the
government was able to maintain on .he
frontier were no match for the Indian.
nd the strategems which those In command
of these post were obliged to resort to to
heckmate the Indians were extremely In
genious. Speaking of this phase of the
Sioux campaign that followed on the heels
of the civil war. Mr. Block relates In the
Washington Post the following Interest ng
toiy of how Lieutenant Colonel Haydeu,
commanding in 186 at Kort Wadsworth. In
the Dakota, fooled an overwhelming force
of Sioux Into thinking that he had two
regtments in the fort, when, as a matter of
fact, he had only four companies of infan
try and three almost useless csnnon:
"At the cloe of the civil wsr 1 received
my discharge from the Massachusetts regi
ment In which I had served and enlisted In
the Tenth United States infantry, a new
regiment, four companies, Inciud ng the one
In which I served, being sent at once to
Fort Wadsworth, In the Dakotas, there to
operate against the hostile Sioux who had
been in opeu warfare against the govern
ment since 1864. Some time before th
the Sioux had taken the garrison at Fort
Phil Kearny by aurprlse and massacred
them to a man, and their intention then
was to repeat the same thing at Fort Wads
worth and tbe other posts of that section
until they bad killed or driven every b tt
person out of their country. They were
very bold at that time, as result cf hav
ing experienced eucceas in several enter
prises.
Relied on the Colonel.
'It was not long after the horrible
butchery that took place at Fort Kearny
before our scouts brought word that
tbe Sioux were then making preparations
or a descent on our outpost. To tell tbe
truth, we were in no condition to receive
them. Aside from the four companies of
infantry which constituted the garrison of
the fort, we had three brass cannon. One
wa a 12-pounder, while the other two
were 6-pounder. and all three smooth
bores of the styles used In the Napole
onic campaigns. Our main reliance, how

all their art and strategems. That officer
as soon ' as he received word from the
scouts, had the cannons loaded with grape
and cannieter and doubled the gtard.
"Well, we waited something like a week
without seeing a sign of the redskin,
when suddenly one One morning we awoke
to And the hill round about the fort cov
ered with tepee and swarming with In
dians. I myself counted a many aa 3,000
wigwams, and there vere many mors
scattered about In gullies where they could
not be-'seen. Then the trouble began. For
two : nights the Indian danced the war
dance, and then one morning a delegation
of thirty chiefs presented themselve at
the entrance of the fort and asked to be
admitted for a parley. The gate were
thrown open, they trailed In In Indian file,
and, squatting In a circle, began to smoke
their pipes, which is their fashion of open
ing a discussion. Through his Interpreter
Colonel Hayden inquired as to their mis
sion, and then tbe pow-wow opened In
earnest.
"The principal chief was an Indian
named White Bear, a very fin looking
man, who made one of the most eloquent
speeches that I think I ever listened to.
He went on to lay that the white had
boldly entered on the domain ot the Sioux,
bis people, without so much aa asking
permission, much lee offering to buy the
land; that they were gradually driving
the Indians back onto the poorer lands;
that they were wantonly and foolishly de
stroying th buffalo and doing other
tbinga against the law of right and good
conscience.
'.'What be said about tha destruction of
tbe buffalo was particularly pertinent and
amounted almost to a prophecy. He went
on to state that these animals, which at
that time were very numerous all over the
northwest, were being; killed by thousands
tor tneir niaea ana mat ir things continued
a they were It would be only a few year
before tbe buffalo would be a thing of the
past. This, of course, sounded to us Ilk
a foolish prediction, for at that time no one
dreamed of the counties herds of these
animals being In a few years reduced to
less than 300 head. But White Bear's
reasoning was sound, a time and events
have proven.
Could Not Cat Bibles.
"He wound up bia eloquent apeecb by
stating that the whltea were robbing tbe
Indiana ot their means of subsistence; that
the latter could not eat tbe bibles given
them by missionaries; that winter waa then
approaching, without any prospect of ob
taining food while It lasted, and In view
of all thia be asked the colonel to furnish
his people with provisions sufficient to tide
them over this period. He knew, be aald
that th warehouse at the fort ware atored
with provisions and that tha Great Father
at Waahlngton intended a part of tbe sup.
plies lor his people, the Bloux. in one
sense be spoke the truth. The ration in
the fort were for the subsistence of the
garrison and the friendly Indian round
about, but not for thoae of White Bear'
band, who were in open warfare against tbe
government.
"In reply to the demand Colonel Hayden
atated that the provisions were for the men
of the garrlaon and that he had no orders
from the Great Father to furnish White
Bear' people with any part of the supply
At thl White Bear flew into a towering
rage and called the colonel a liar. He aald
that Hayden had two tongue, which 1 th
Bloux equivalent of aaylng that one baa lied.
Then It waa that Colonel Hayden did tbe
boldest thing that I ever ssw done in my
life.' Calling a guard, he arrested Whit
Bear and put bim In the guardhouse. To
say thst the other chiefs were dumfounded
I putting it mildly Indeed. They stood
aghast at the boldness of tbe maneuver, and
for a full fifteen minute wer too aston
ished to talk. Finally tbey held a parley.
and after some twenty minutes told Colonel
Hayden that if be would release Whit
Bear tbey would withdraw their demadd
and leave the fort. Colonel Hayden ac
cepted the tender, and White Bear waa re
moved from tbe gusrdbous nd set at lib
erty.
"Before they left, tb colonel mad red
hot speech. In which b told them that b
knew Just a well aa tb sun shone that
they wer th Indian who bad massacred
tb garrison at Fort Tbil Kearny, that th
blood of the soldiers at that post wa upon
their bead, and tbat a long as tbey con
tlnued to murder and burn they co.iM no!
expect Snyaatlons from ihe (lieat Father.
If, he said, they would settle down slid be
have themselve like good Indians, then
they might lock for food from l'ncl Sam, I
but not before. Pointing to Ihe cannon '
on the paraoet of the fort he stated further 1
that unless thev left the locality forthwith !
he would bio ihem und iheir homs to
Binders !
Oraile f inn Hrslnirnla.
"Thl last statement did not make much '
of au Impression on the Indians, who left ;
the fort fully intending to sitae W It. but '
little maneuver which the colonel executed i
soon ft?r that convinced them that It ,
would not do to tarry longer in thst neigh- j
borhood. The way In which he maneged j
It was like this. The barracks were a lung i
buiiding running almost the full length ot
th' tucloaure, and from litcir station on
th hills the Indians could see everything j
tbat wiut on within the fort. One hour)
after they bad left the colonel ordered the
garrlsuji qui for tlifss parade, each and
every one of us having Instructions as to
how to act and a hat to do w hile the parade
was in progress.
"The line of march was along the front
of the barracks, and things were so ar
ranged that in passing this building those
nearest It would fall out In a manner that
could not be noticed by the Indians on
the hill, hasten through the builJIng.
and, reaching the other end on a dead
run, would slip out again and fall In line,
nnd thus .ontlnue In endless chain fashion
around and around, giving anyone on the
hills snd looking down onto the parade
ground, the Impression thst two regiments
were passing In review Instead of fojr com
panies. We kept this endless chain revolv
ing for nearly an hour, and tbe longer wt
kept up the deeptlon the greater grew the
commotion among the Indians on the hills
surrounding the fort.
"At first you could see that they did not
pay much attention to our dress parade, but
as one company after another continued to
pass in uninterrupted cuccesslon they begRn
to get Interested and to take t ote of v hat
was in progres in he crurtyard. Uy the
time the parade was -,ver the entire ot'tflt
had gathered to the number of over 3XK)
strong watching us from the tallest if he
three bills I ke a crowd of spectators tt a
circus. The effect on the Indian -va trag
ical. They begun taking down end packing
up their tepees and by nightfall the whole
outfit Lad left.
Drove tattle Through Buffaloes.
Subsequently this same band went to
F?rt Stevenson, near the Yellowstone park,
where they stole several thousand head of
cattle, upon which tbe soldier and settlers
were depending for their winter' supply of
meat. .A a result, the commander of Fort
Stevenson bad to send over to Fort Wads
worth for another supply of beef to make
up for what the Indians bad stolen, and
my company was sent along to escort thl
herd of over 1,000 head of cattl to Fort
Stevenson. The Indian hung on our flank
from start to finish and we passed through
a region that fairly wrmd with buffaloes.
At time we drove our cattle right through
herd that ran up into the hundred thou
sand, the animal opening to right and left
ot us as we progressed.
'At night we put out a double line of
pl-.kets. The officer who was stationed In
th center of tne camp used to call the
pickets by number every half hour. One
night. In calling out to the picket around
the camp. No. 10 failed to anawer, and
we knew, of course, that aomethlng wa
wrong In that quarter. Ordering out the
reserves, the patrol officer proceeded on
the double-quick In the direction of where
No. 10 was stationed, and just before we
reached blm we heard a ahot. Hastening
un to where this vldette. a man of the
name of Brown, wa stationed, we found
blm lying flat on the ground, but unhurt.
He aald that he had' Just shot an Indian,
who was trying to ateal upon and kill bim,
and that the reason he had not answered
was that he did not want to let the Indian
know where be was located.
'Search In the grass at the spot where
be stated the Indian had fallen revealed
a big coyote with ' a bullet through It
brain. Brown had mistaken the animal
for an Indian, and we had the laugh at
hla expense. Nevertheless, it was very
fortunate that things happened a they
did, for on our return to camp we captured
an Indian who had slipped in between
the line and whom we caught In the act
of cutting tha lariat to which our hones
were tied, with the object of stampeding
them (you see, my company waa a mounted
Infantry organization.)
"The day before we reached Fort Stev
enson we came quite unexpectedly upon
the very Indians wfco had stolen all tho
cattle at tbe post. They were ramped In
a ravine and wholly unaware of our pre
ence in the neighborhood. We reconnol
tered the place, leaving our cattle under
a small guard, swooped down on the un
suspecting Indian, killing many, putting
the rest to flight, and capturing all the
stolen horses and cattle. We thus entered
Fort Stevenson the day following with all
the cattle and horses they had loat In the
raid some time before, but bringing with
u an additional thousand. In tbe engage
ment we recovered a bob-tailed mare that
waa a famous track animal, having won
more races than any other animal In the
northwest."
