INDIAN CLAIMS.

For several days past four Indians sit
ting around the Occidental hotel have at
tracted more or less attention:and have been
the centre of interest for little crowds of the
curious. The object of their visit to the
city became apparent yesterday when they
entered the probate court and had his
honor attest certain papers which they
had in their possession. From their pa
pers it was learned that at a NEE ting Of
the Mokawhoco band of the Sac. and Foxs
at the Sacs and FoXs' agency, January 81
1856, a body of men composed OF Mowab
Pawkawhaw, Meawme AushOquahno and
and George Powers was appointed to pro-
sent to the government certain claims
which they had. 1t was these men who
were in the city. 1t is stated in their
claim papers that the band num-
bers about eighty-five souls and that they
are now residing in the Sac and Fox reser-
walton of the Indian Territory. Their
claims grew out of treaties made by the
said Sacs and Fox with the United States
of various dates from De-. 25th. 1915 to
Oct. 14th, 1868, there being in all
twenty of these treaties. by which the
United States bound themselves to pay
said Indians certain annuities year by
year, and more especially the claims of
said Mokawhoco band for their portion
of the tribal funds which have not been
paid them since 1869 until December,
1856 said claim amounting to about
$4,000 by virtue of non-fulfillmeut of
the said treaty stipulation.

Secretary Bayard said tonight that the
persons in custody are not American citi-
Zens but are native Moors, probably Jews
or Arabs, who. under the treaty claim the
protection of the United States. He did
not anticipate any serious trouble and re
marked that Mr. Lewis thoroughly under
stood his rights under the treaty and will
be sustained in maintaining them. Secre-
tary Bayard said tonight that the treaty
with China had been signed and would be
sent to the president at once for transmits
sion TO congress. Mr.. Bayard declined TO

in the Third ward today to elect delegates
to the county convention which would
elect delegates to the state and national

terest was given to it by the attempt of a
few ambitious local politicians to supplant
Mr.. J. S. Clarkson as member OF the ma
tional committee Mr.. Jas. G. Berryhill,
member of the legislature from this county
lives in that ward, and he WAS put up.
The Clarkson forces had carriages labeled
Allison for PRESIDENT and the Berryhill
men were suspected of trying to ring in a
delegate for John Sherman, as his nephew
was on their ticket. Thousands of specta-
tors turned out to see the fight, which last
ed from until p. m. The result was
sweeping victory for Mr.. GARRISON, he car
rying the ward, although living in

GRESHAM'S DECISION.
Continued from First Paee.)
A NOVEL PROPOSITION.

A NOVEL PROPOSITION.
CHICAGO, March IA novel PROPOSE
ton was made at the strikers headquar-
tiers yesterday. namely: to induce engin-
GERS on all other roads to cheerfully handle
all freight that may be consigned to the
Burlington as fast as it can be legitimate
ly attended to. By this process it is
claimed the yards and tracks will be COM
pletely blockaded and the road will find it
impossible to get rid of the accumulated
freight with the limited number of men at
its command.
The Wisconsin Central road pursued
these tactics and transferred to the Bur-
lington yards yesterday three trains con-
sisting of seventy-eight cars. The road ac-
cepted one train of twenty-eight cars, but
refused to receive the other two trains, as
they could not be handled by the road.
These trains were then backed out on the
Wisconsin Central tracks.
General Manager Mellan at once notified
the Burlington officials that trackage
would be charged to the road as long as
these trains remained there, and that bills
for freight amounting to several thousand
dollars were to be Immediately presented
for payment. The men claim that all the
other roads will pursue a similar course,
and if the Burlington cannot take care Of
the freight they can be charged trackage
and be required to pay all bills upon the
tender Of freight.

HORSES STOLEN BY NAVAJOS.

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, March 14.-Parties
came into Gallup. this county, from the
Greer and Wabash company's ranches in
Apache county, Arizona, in search OF a
band of seventy-eight horses which had
been seen and recognized by cowmen IN
the hands of party of Navajos, and were
being driven in the direction of the reser-
vation One of the Greer boys came across
the country to the railroad and TO this
place to head them of, and from here went
out to the agency to confer with Agent Pat
terson. On his return ne reported that the
agent gave him no satisfaction, stating
that as the horses and thieves were Oft the
reservation he had no power to act, and
that the owners would have to depend on
civil authorities TO capture and punish the
thieves. A party of cowmen are on the
trail of the thieves, and if captured they
will be dealt with peremptorily according
to the most approved Western methods,
but it is likely that before now the stock
has been divided into small herds and
securely hidden.

TIRED ENGINEERS.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, l., March 14.-All of
the switch engines of the Union Pacific
doing work in the Council Bluffs yards
were quietly taken to the round house last
night and this morning the engineers in
charge, when asked their reason for
quitting work, said they were sick or laid
off work. 1t is understood that they gave
these reasons on account of Judge Dundy's
decision, but it was very noticeable how
quick an engineer became sick or tired
when he saw 20" car coupled on behind
his engine. All passengers and dummy
trains are running as usual.
