The treaty between the Dawes and Creek commissions, which was concluded at this ' place last month, was rejected by the Creek council in session at Okmulgee. The vote in the house of warriors, which is the lower house of the Creek council, was unanimously against tLe treaty, and only eight members of the house of kings voted in favor of it. The principal objection to the treaty is that it does not give the Creeks their pro rata share of all the lands of the Creek nation, and leaves too much room for the money sharks and specu- lators.

Washington, Oct. 21. Silver dollars are missing from the strong box of the treasuary and may number many thousands. Treasurer Roberts has employed experts to count piece by piece the 8100,000,000 which ought to be in the vaults. Recently the coin was counted by the weighing process, but Roberts will not give a receipt to his predecessor, Morgan, until he knows the fall extent of the robbery, which he suspects has been carried on for some time. During this count a trusted employe was caught opening bags which contain 1,000 silver dollars each, taking out as many as he wished and making up the weight of the extracted silver with lead. At the conclusion of the count all the bags showed the required weight, Upon the treasurer's suggestion, some of the bags were opened. So much lesd was discovered that a consultation was held with Secretary Gags, and it waa decided to employ a force of fifty clerks to go over the counting in detail Thia task will consume tix months and will c&st the government Pro min ant MoutiinanHiilruIa.

DANA, America's Orostont Journalist Fames Away at Ills Long Island llama. New York, Oct 17. Charles A. Dans, editor of the New York Sun, died at bis home at Glen Cove, Long p. m., of cirrhosis of the had been exliver. his famand several hours, for pected were at bedside his and physicians ily when the end came. His condition has been feeble for several months, and the end waa hastened by the extreme heat on Friday and Saturday. Charles Anderson Dana was born in ninsi ale, N. 1L, August 8, 1819. Ilia boyhood was spent in Rnffalo, N. Y., where he worked in a store until hs was 18 years of age. His earliest newspaper experience was gained in the management of the Ilnrbinger, which was devoted to social reform and general literature. After about two years of editorial work on Elizur Wright's Boston Chronotype, a daily newspaper, Mr. Dana joined the staff of the New York Tribune in 1847. The next year he spent eight months in Europe, and upon his return became one of the proprietors and managing editor of the Tribune, a post which he held until Island, at 1:20 Mr. Dana's death April 1862. The extraordinary influence and circulation attained by that newspaper during the ten years preceding the Civil war was in a degree due to the development of Mr. Dana's genius foi journalism. In 1861 Mr. Dana went to Albany to advance the cause of Mr. Greeley, as a candidate for the United States senate, and nearly succeeded in nominating him. The caucus was about equally divided between Mr. Greeley 'e friends and those of Mr. Evarts, while Ira Harris had a few votes which held the balance of power, and, at the instigation of Thnrlow Weed, the supporters of Mr. Evarts went over to Judge Harris. During the first year of the war tha ideas of Mr Greeley and those of Mr. Dana in regard to the proper conduct of the military operations were somewhat at variance; and thia disagreement resulted in the resignation of Mr. Dana, after fifteen years service on the Tribune. He waist once employed by Secretary Stanton in special work of importance for the war department, and in 1863 waa appointed assistant secretary of war, which office he held until after the surrender of Lee. At the time when General Grant's character and probable usefulness were unknown quantities, Mr. Dana's confidence in Grant's military ability probably did much to defeat the powerful effort then making to break down the rising commander. Mr. Dana waa in the saddle at the front much of the time during the campaigns of northern Mississippi and Vicksburg, the rescue of Ch&' tanooga and the marches and battles of Virginia in 1864 and 1865. After the war his services were ought by the Chicago Republican, a new daily, which failed, through eanses not within the editor's control. Returning to New York, he organized, in 1867, the stock company that now owhs the Sun newspaper, and became its editor. The first number of the Sun issued by Mr. Dana appeared on January 37, 1868, and for nearly thirty years he has been actively and continuously engaged in the management of that successful journal, and solely for its conduct. He made , the Sun a democratic newapaper, independent and outspoken in the expres lion of its opinions respecting the affairs of either party. Perhaps to a greater extent than in the case of any other conspicuoaa journalist, Mr. Dana's personality is identified in the public mind with the newspaper that he edited. He has recorded no theories of journalism other than those of common sense and human interest. He was impatient of prolixity, cant and the conventional standard of news importance. Mr. Dana's first book was a volume of stories translated from the German, entitled "The Black Ant." In 1855 he planned and edited with George Ripley, the New American Cyclopedia." With General James II. Wilson hs wrote a "Life of Ulysses S. Grant." His "Household Book of Poetry, a Collection of the Best Minor Poems of ths English Language," waa first published in 1857, and has passed through many editions, the latest, thoroughly revised, being that of 1884.
