spring motives sf the occasion, was
that which took place at Belmont, at the
reception. accorded General Ulysses S.
Grant by United States Senator Will

famous country seat For weeks past
society has been. on the qui vive andtln
furry of elaborate preparation. The
number of invitations sent out was lsn-
exampled, aggregating 1920. Never

The Worlds Washington special says:
Chief Clerk Brooks, of the Indian Office,
speaking of the Ute outbreak, said that
not long ago two gentlemen, interested
in mining, brought to the Interior De-
partment several specimens of rich gold
ore gathered from the center of the res
ovation, and advised Secretary Sehurz
to lose no time in negotiating for the
free use of that district for naming pur-
poses. The visitors were informed that
such negotiations would involve the alb
lrogation of the treaty, which expressly
provides that the reservation shall not
be trespassed upon excepkby the author
lied agents of the government.
''Well, if you won't open a way to
those mines for us, we shall open one
ourselves, the visitors replied.
THAT, said Brooks, s'is the spirit of
the white. people out there. With an
utter disregard of treaties, they raid
upon any section that they think will
be profitable, and no doubt the Utes
have been provoked to warfare by white
incursions.
