WASHINGTON, July 25.-The charges
preferred by J. J. Newell to the effect
that the passage of the act by which
the Texas Pacific railway company Sc
cured its land grant in 1871, was pro
cured by lavish expenditure Of money
among senators and representatives,
formed the discussion at the special
meeting Of the house committee on
judiciary to-day. Previous to to-day's
meeting it was the understanding that
Newell should be invited to appear be-
fore the com nittee tomorrow morn
ing and tell what he knows on the sub
ject, but the committee to-day, by q
majority vote, decided TO defer the
hearing indefinitely, and proceed at
once with the consideration OF all
pending land grant questions, with a
view to submitting reports 70 the house
during this session, or early next
winter. At to-morow's meeting the
committee will take up the grant
along the thirty-second parallel

under color Of law. Carpenter thought,
however, that the Indians had a good
chance 70 recover in equity (some of
them being citizensl from the govern
ment, and also said that q congress
sionsl investigation ought TO be made
and that he would try and attend 10
both branches of the case. But Mr..
Carpenter did not make any move
ment that summer, and then came his
election 10 the senate and his subse-
quent illness and death. so that his
promised service was never rendered.
The story told by Adams, in brief. is
that when the Stockbridge and Muncic
Indians were removed from New York
west they were butfeted from one
reservation to another, until they were
finally given two townships upon the
Upper Wolf river in Wisconsin. That
4 large portion of the reservation was
covered with the choicest cork pine
the very best in the state. Soon, so goes
his story. the lumhermen at the Wolf
river began 70 penetrate that region and

der control by the schemers and were
made 70 believe that ii was for the best
interests of the Indians to be declared
citizens, sell oil their pines and have
the proceeds divided pro rata among
them. At the time Postmaster Gener-
a. Howe was III the senate, and the
present Senator Philetus SAWYER was an
influential member Of the house, and
Adams alleges, these gentlemen to.
gether with Judge Martin, Senator NY
ron McCord, of Merrill, Wis, and 9TH
er prominent Wisconsin people wera
interested in the plan 70 get hold or
these pine lands. Through the intiu-
ence of these men or their agents, Ad-
ans claims, the Indians were finally in
duced-or large portion Of them-to
give up their tribal rights and become
citizens. Then came the bill TO per-
nit the sale Of the pine lands. This.
the relator asserts, was
ENGINEERED THROUGH CONGRESS
by Senator Howe and Representative
Sawyer, although many members of
the tribe protested The result was
that the best Of the pine was sold at

the purchasers to realize vast sums of
money oRt Of What should have been
70 the advantage Of the tribe. Adams
charges that the whole thing was 4
scheme from the beginning with the
one object Of securing the pine lands,
and that the foundations Of several
great fortunes were then and there
laid.
Investigation shows that. whatever
may have been the original intent of
those persons who interested them
selves in the affairs of the Stockbridge
and Muncie Indians, everything con-
nected with their becoming citizens.
and the sale Of their lands was under
and by full direction of law. II is also
learned that many of the Indians de-
clare that the movement which Adams
Is trying 70 naugurate is entirely I'M
warranted and that the Stockbridges
have received and are receiving their
full dues and complete justice under
the various treaties and laws.
