On tho Choyenne rlviT reservation, a portion of tho great Sioux reserve In Houth Dakota, I ha Indian have Wen atitYcilug !rom a. condition or land leasing that ha attracted the attention of the Indian Right association. 8. M. Rroslu. a apo dal agent of the association. Iiaa made an Investigation, and makes a report to 'he secretary, Matthew K. Biiiffen, aa follows: 22,r.,Ch,'ynne river reservation contain J.M7.40 acres which were aet apart for their separate use by the terms of tlie act ef congress of March 2, Js. It has bee.i the avowed desire, of the govern mrnt that the Indian should become self supporting, and since the lands of the theyenne river reset vatinn are primarily adapted for grating purposes, tho agree ment ratified hy congress above referred to, provided for the purchase and Issue l to the Indiana of 2i,000 atock cattle, which were Issued to members of the tribe. Many nf the Indiana profited by the advice of the government and carefully preserved the cows Issued to them, together with the increase, so that they were upon a basis of self-support. This was the condition at the time of the advent of the present agent, In 190ft. Previous agents over theso Indians had been found to be unscrupulous, oftentimes, and left their baneful effects upon the tribe. .Soon after the assumption of the duties of agent tho present appointee seems to have determined -4o lease the tribal lands to outside rattlo men, by fair or foul means, and tho accomplishment of such purpose and the attendant evil of bis administration haa caused demoralisation to tho best interests of the Indians, espe cially In the matter of oncoming self supporting and Independent owncra of cattle. The co-operation of officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee & fit. Paul Railway company was an Important factor, they rendering personal assistance. The tracks of the railroad company are favorably lo cated for securing the shipment of stock to snd from the reservation, of which trsffio they (lave a practical monopoly. I.eaalaa; of tho Cottle Troll. The first effort of the combine to se cure the lease of the tribal lands was In 100, when the Indians were called together In general council and urged to lease what Is known aa the "Cattle Trail," a section of country on the northern side of the reservation now six miles In width and extending east and west a distance of about eighty miles. The tribe in general council flatly refused to lease. Not daunted, the ugent called the six chiefs Into police headquarters, created another chief upon the spot to act aa councilman, so that there might be n majority of so-called cotiocllmen to agree on the lease, the full number of counciltnen required being twelve. These seven men without authority to sieak for the tribe in any question Involving the disposition of tribal lands, were Importuned to agree to the lease, promises of individual benefits being made to them by tho railroad officials, etc. "While these seven Indians claim they did not all agree to the proposed lease In form, the agent reported the ratified agree ment of lease to the Indian bureau. thai rcmicst of the agtllt. Who cirri without authority from tho tribe, it I ihut nrnnnMlfi were sent from ih Indian office in Washington Inviting via f.ir the Krlvlleae of Erasing the west ern half of the reservation, which contains in the mnrresate 1.426. 7(6 acres. A council was called by the agent, the Interpreter stating that the lands had already been ina..H sn.i that the Indiana could not help thuniaelvea. although no action had been i.L.n hir the tribe in council. This repre sentative council soon decided not to leaae their lands, and realising me neeu tor eon rutted action, annointed two of their mem t..ra In nnnuvnt them in DrOtCSting tl the government. White fculj and bellow Owl were selected for thla task. They (Irnva across country some ninety miles to Ptsrre and secured aid In writing a letter to tlie Indian department protesting against tha agent's action and requesting that an Investigation be made of the question. Iao tab mrnt of Complainants. Jt was several niontho before an Inspector was detailed to Investigate the subject, and. tf nnsslbla. seoura the legal consent of the tribe to the lease, but in the mean time the a rent who was Biinnosed to pro tect these Indians was evidently planning how best he could secure the accomplish ment of his purposes, and he decided to cuerce White Dull and Yellow Owl' by im prisonment and other means. White Bull's personal narration of what he suffered savors of darkest Kusstau rule. He slated: "The agent refused to write our wishes to the commissioner of Indian affaire, so I wrote from Ilerre, where I had gone for that purpose. When I came Irrmie and the ugent heard of what I had dono be sent the police tor me and I was arrested and thrown In Jail without being told why I was so treated. The chief of police came and told me that the agent directed him to cut my hair and he did so. I was kept In Jail three months, compelled to work at hard labor, digging ditches, cleaning yards and grading roads, for which I never received any pay. I represented the Indians in a straightforward transaction, but the agent used me as an example to cow the rest of the tribe so they wJuld not object any more to the leasing of the lauds. The agent told nie after I was released from prison that he put me in Juil for two reasons; first, for leaving the reservation, and. Second, lor kicking against what Com missioner Jones decided to have done." following the Imprisonment of White Hull and Yellow Owl, an Investigation wo made by an Inspector In July, l'3, and here again the Indians are said to have been i nver-reached. The members of tho tribe residing In the western portion of the recr vatton were more strenuously opposed to leasing their section of the reservation than those who were settled upon the east ern portion, whose graalng grounds would not be disturbed thereby. When a tlnie Was se( tr voting upon the question nf leasing the western half, the members of the tribe were railed in and It Is alleged that on account qf the hour for voting having ben chanced from 1 Q'clock In the afternoon pf the day to the forenoon pf the same day, many of the members most In terested In opposition to the lease had nut yet reached the council, hence they did not have the privilege of Voting. The vote being taken showed 139 favorable to leas ing, with 154 opposing it. Tho lease of the "cattle trull lands being voted upon the decision of the tribe was recorded by fxrartlcally the same vote. Leasing of the Eastern Half. In March. 1!4, an effort was made by the government to lease the eastern section of the reservation, ciaitalning yjS.XHi acres. The porilon of the tribe living In t lie west eru section of the reservation were made to fool that they had been opposed in leasing the lands they occupied, so In retaliation they were incited to vote for leasing the eastern part by fostering prejudice among them. Another scheme to insure success on the part of the agent who was there to see that the Indians had fair treatment seems to have been Well planned and worked out. The residents of the White Morse district. In the eastern ortion, were naturally opiaiaed to leasing their pasture lands: so It announced the day before the vote upon the question of leasing was taken -lhat the White Horse members would be given their rations at home, forty mtles distant from the agency, where Iti-v were gathered for the purpose of voting imatnsi the lease. This order had the ef feci "f induclnr many of these Indians to go to their homes, ws they were in need of I ho ration for dally food. The residents of the western portion, however, who favored baaing the vastcm lauds mere given ra Hons at the agency. I heir vote In full ladng retordrd In favor of leasing. The result of liis vote was: In favor of leasinti. lot: op. ia.se,l to If-asina. lio: total vole polled, -it. The secretary of the interior based all the trllval in mix and I lie uuleiieed allotted lauds Of the reservation, with no other uu Hiorliv than Hint mentioned above, having been secured from the hull ins. The treaty tf IMM mid agreement of htAveen th government und thetw Indluna laro.ldcs: "Article I:' No treaty for thr cession of any portion or wiil of the reservation herein descrila-d. M hielt muv be held In common, shall be of any validity or forc it attains! Hie said Indiana, unless executed .ind signed bv at least lliree-fuurlhs of ail the adult mule Indians occupying or Inter, tated ill the same.'' Siivi It requires the rxcciitien of an tn stiionent of tonal dignity to grant a lease as one providing for the cesdon of lands, it tuusl be ".imerdeit lhat lu render the leaae l.'g.il end binding upon the I'hIiuu tribe at least Ihree-lourlliS ot liie adult male In diana must first agree lo the terms of the k.'BV. The Indians claim that at the time of the nunril proceedings concerning the leasing f the lands there were T.'l male Indians over lli eure of age entitled to vote. The use limit of IS years is liiaT adopted by the tiuvernmrnt In all regulations concerning rations and allotments, and by the Indiana themselves In their deliberations covering ti; . -ttlon "f their business council. It appeals, therefore, that not an acre of the I i.e,inr rlv.-r reservation lands has been legally l"aed, nor has there ta-en accepted by the Indians any proposition by a ma jority vote to leaae any of their lands. Millie the Sftretary of the interior h" I'suully lacn do-aed lo protect thr right of ti e Indians, In this instance a gross Injustice p.-.ms to have' been done I he t'l ev.nne Hlver Hloux We tail to find nny warrant of law for bis action. While the fed. ral "iiprerne ci.un decided In the Ioue Wolf case that congress may abrogate sn Indian ttealy or ngn-.-mettt. no authority exists fur an executive officer to violat-' an ngieement authorised by congress, as waa done in the pr i tit instance. Ilraalts of the I. racing. As already shown, the Indians nccepleri the proffer of the government In agree ing 10 tux act or (onaress of lssn with Its promise of fostering the cattle Industry, and many niemla rs of the trUa were self supporting through the revenue derived from their herds. The illegal leasing and the unjust restrictions now sufTi red by the tribe have almot ruined this Industry. The head of a family is permitted to have lcl head of stock In tile leased pasture sur rounding his home. For all excess stock he Is compelled lo accede to anv sharp lnrgaln the lessee may InBlst upon, the alternative being to dispose of his surplus stock the best way possible, and It usually rtsilta In ruining the Indian herd. Thr Indian agent has uniformly protected the hses. and appeals to him tnmi the Indians go unheeded. He haa posted writ ten and printed notices over the reserva tion, warning the Indians that they "are prohibited from rounding up stock at anv time" without his permission or that nf the while lessee, on pain of arrest hy po licemen and being brought perhaps l.V) miles to the agency, and being "liable to Kunishmcnt for the offense." This notlcfj ai the desired effect. Indians, naturally timid, feared to look after their cattle In the pastures and they have been scattered and lost, frequently being shipped to market by the lessee without the Indian's knowledge, and thr proceeds not accounted for to li I nr. The Indian cows do not do well, being run down by the lesser 'a steers, resulting In a decreased nuniber of calves, the latter being hugely lost known as "mavericks" by reason of the Indians not being permitted to look after Ihem, as shown. The Indian agent has discouraged many persons from opening stores and prohibited others, which has resulted in a practical monopoly In trailing. During the time of my visit to the agency potatoes were sold by one store at the agency at 2 cents per pound (perhaps $1 per bushel); Just across the river, outside the reservation (tho stores one mile apart), the price for the GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Lower Pritei Em Throngi Whola Liit of Cercala.

The Indians are suffering from additional evils of administration, concomitant, how ever, with it. The giving away of prop erty In the rianoe, which waa not prac ticed for eleven years previous to the present agent's incumbency, haa been re vived, the result being most disastrous In breaking down Individual Incentive to Independence. A low moral tone is prev alent, the Indians, nnturallv. not respect- I Ing the authority or those who themselves una intoxicants and seemingly approve such habits In others. The friends of the Cheyenne river Indians feel that they have retrograded by reason of tho present administration of that agency and lost the advancement gained In ten or twelve years of former effort i for the betterment of the conditions among these Indians. The future welfare of the trlle depends largely upon the nature of reforms instituted a a result of tho pend ing Investigation. 8. II. HROSU'S. Agent Indian RiRhts Association. Cotton Market. YORK.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25. (Special.) Optimis tic traders, who have constantly predicted hielier prices, now admit that It Is almost Impossible that the present pi to a can be maintained through the pr vailing period of light monev, which must remain until such a tlnin when the export of this country's list oral products gives us a big balance In trade. When money touched 5 ier cent a short while iigo. slocks took a sudden drop; and sln e this time Secretary Shaw has paid a number of vlslls lo Wnll street, which to some degree have had a reassuring and beneficial effect. Bull reiMirts lhat the treasury would do posit $V5.i..fl0 of surplus fund In New York City banks. In order lo n lease the strain, appear rather ludicrous In the Unlit of existing cotidi'.lons. With the treasury funds In a condition that csnnot lie re garded excessively prosperous. I fall to see how th government Can rnnto to the re lease of th Wall street gamblers at such a time as this. ' The old-time stamen of the market ap pears to be falling. Important ptails seen) Inclined to liquidate much more rapidly than la-fore. Trmnorarllv the British po litical situation is having some effect, while the attitude ;.f Turkey toward tho poweis also has hnd It Influence. Noticeable Im provement 111 the copper tiade and steel In dustries have added a mite to tlio bull op timism. 8. H. Clin pin & Co. said of Thin '-day's market: "The movement in the market were very erratic, with a volume in trade the In rg-ot in runny moiilh An early til v bv the bear Intensts caused fonir lose I rum the previous close, but Ihl attack waa so spp'iitnl that hen the pressure nun 1,-nioM-d prli es quickly responded nil buying of the I" st eiiara-Mrl' Union Paclfio as bv far the leading ft autre of the day. The annual statement Is expected tomor row, mid from source well Intornied an excellent report is looked for. United Staiea Steel common and preferred received a preat d'l of attention, and wa very ac tive the latter part of the session. While the market closed reverlsh, Hie undertone was KtHd. "I'd u stronger opening Friday morning is looked for. United States fleel. common and preferred; North American. Amalgamated Copper nnd St. Paul will probably sell high." Demand lor Iron nil steel is Increasing. It Is generally expected nf the business for this month to sonatas both as regards pro duction and consumption, the high record for October. The estimated earnings of the United States Steel corporation for this quarter are expected to be the largest of the year. It Is claimed that tho order mi hand have never leen so large. The cop prr trade Is equally large and prosperous. with many S lallsts claiming that the market will sliortlv advance as high as 1 cents, and that the dividend rate on Amal gamated Copper will bo advanced next year. The Republic Steel and Iron company de clared a dividend of J' 1er cent for tho quarter, and also a dividend of per cent on the back dividend due on thl Issue; ami Ibis is generally regarded aa retlectins: go,al limes ahead. The United States ltublsr pool grid Rub ber Hoods shares Imd an unlucky day In bringing out their specialties. Little- atten tion was paid by the street and coninar allvely few shares were bought cutside or those thev bought themselves. The com parative weakness of Rock Isluml has been n thorn In the fide of an otherwise favor able market. The fact that Rock Island preferred declined I point to tho lowest ir the year brought up a discussion with re lstlpn to the future dividend payment. The last dividend waa declared oh Novem ber S. Mv opinion of the Market lias not rad ically changed.. I etlll believe that a bull market developing from present prices H next to the lniMiHslhlr In materlallaation. I lailleve that comparatively tight money will pravutl until tho agricultural resources of tliis country can be rxporled, and a large balance of trade secured, after which lime the treasury will be in position to lake rare of the pecossltlas of Wall alreet. 4 7V 4 75' 3 8" 4 781 8 89 4 69 I 4 2 B 15 4 471 4 IS!

And It Is mosi piobuhlo thai there will not be much increase in the size of the receipts until the season for fat Celtic, opens, which will be about the holidays. Thwre has not lieen much cor a fed stuck on the market this week, and what was i;i was not generally of a very choice grade, tlie most of the cvnifed stuff being on the. short fed and warmed up order. How ever, the receipts all during the we.-K have been only moderate in siae, while there has been u.11 active demand on the part of the packers for anything suitable lor Ihelr purposes, with the result that each day has seen a market steady to a liill stronger than the previous day mar ket. Hence at the close of the week's trade the market on good choice cornrcdi is generally 1 cVy 1m higher than at the close uf last wock's trade, while the warmed up tattle closed suady tu a little slioiiger. The market on cows and heifers has been running along about the same lines as the bucf steers. There have been light runs with ft rather interior grade ut stock. There haa been a good demand for choice stuff, with the result that the market 011 good choice cow a closed the week ltfaOu higher, with common stuff steady tu 5c h The' Irade on stocker and feeders all during the week has been reasonably active. There has been a good demand fur till kiu.1 of cattle, with good choice light weight cattle given Ihe prefeiencr.

HOGS There wa a moderate run of hogs thl morning and most of Ihe stuff waa In in fairly good aeaaon. Buyers were out early and ware evidently wauling hogs suitable for their purposes. The trading opened fairly brisk and active and re mained so all during tlie trading houia. The market wgs favorable to the sellers all during the day. The market 0a-ued steady tu 2lc. higher than yeslerda's opening and considerable business Hading was dune wliile the iuarkev was tu Hint condition. But later oil the, market lirined up still more and closed the day with the average in the nelghlMjrliood of higher than the average of yesterday's market, lop of today were In the same notches as yes teiday. the loppy loads selling al 14 77'.

Thre wa 1101 very much attention paid 'o quality or weights and there waa considerable bunching of sales. There ha ben a good, strong market hare this week.
