now reach S53O,0OO. Wednesday Judges

An Ashland, Wis, dispatch, dated
January Is, says: About ten delegates
attended the adjourned session Of the
Indian council today, representing the
tribes of Chippewa Indians, who claim
100000 due them from the United
States government under old treaties
They left here this morning to convene
at Odanah, on the Bad River reservation
to avoid publicity. They have conferred
with several leading attorneys of this
city and expect to send J. B. Armstrong
to Washington to look after their rights
The old treaties have been examined and
it looks as if they had good case. They
had private session here and carried il
on in their own language SO that the re-
porter was at loss to interpret the
entire proceedings. The delegates rep
resent reservations in Michigan, Wiscon
sin and Minnesota, end will remain in
session several days.
A dispatch from Annapolis, Nd dated
January Is, says; A bill was introduced
into the house today containing all the
features of the Australian election law,
except the educational and property
qualifications. There are some members
in favor of passing the Australian bill
pure and simple, including the educa'
tional feature, but this would doubtless
be declared unconstitutional by the
court of appeals, as it would disfranchise
the illiterate. It is suspected by the
friends of the bill presented today that
those who profess to favor the Austria
lian bill in it's entirety and nothing else
are at heart opposed to ballot reform
knowing that the courts would declare
an educational or property qualification
unconstitutional In the senate Mr.
Pointer introduced bill for new regis
tration laws, certain portions of which
are aimed, it is claimed, at the republi-
cans in southern Maryland. 1t provides
that persons leaving Maryland as place
of residence, and intending to return
must notify the clerk of the county court
ten days before his departure of his in
tention TO return six months before elec
tion day and re-establish his residence
in Maryland. Failing to give such no
tice he will be allowed neither to register
or vote. If passed the law will deprive
large number of persons employed by
the federal government at Washington
and residing there a good part OF the
time, but claiming legal residence il
Maryland, from voting in this state.
