ROUND VALLEY RESERVATION.
THE COMMISSIONERS REPORT A
MATTER OF MUCH CONCERN.
Although Not Yet Submitted, Many
Remonstrances Have Been Filed
Against 1t.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Within the
last few days the Interior Department has
received number of communications
from the Pacific Coast concerning the
work of the Round Valley Commission.
Most of them are remonstrances about the
different features of the report, and the
perpleXing thing about it to the Depart
ment is that the report has not as yet been
submitted, and if the commissioners have
done their duty no one outside of the
members of the board know anything
about what the report is likely to be- The
commission has not yet submitted its re-
port, and probably will not for few days.
Judging from the remonstrances now
on hand concerning the report. the COM
mission will favor taking from the Round
Valley reservation about GO, 600 acres, and
add the same to the public domain, sub
ject to settlement. This leaves the In
dians about 10000 acres.
The settlers along the border of the
reservation who have been using the In
dian lands for grazing purposes, are very
much concerned. They are taking an
active part in the protests. They are very
much afraid the commission has not dealt
VIII lilC dilu even cudrRG
that the commission took advantage of
them and induced them to set price on
their lands.
The Department suspects that the set
tiers using the Indian lands are some
what interested in the matter. 1t is be-
lfeved that the financial interest they
have in the matter has prompted them to
take an active part in trying to kindle a
prejudice in the mind of Secretary Noble
against the work of the commission, even
before its report has been submitted.
A letter reached the Interior Depart
ment to-day from New York City, pro-
testing agains. decreasing the Round
Valley Indian Reservation. This was
considered remarkable, but the writer
said he had at one time lived in California
and was familiar with the situation He
thought it was unfair to the Indians to
even give them their price for any of the
land, as i'll time they would need it all.
Upon inquiry it has been discovered
that the writer is interested in some cattle
on the reservation, and has for number
eI years been partner in business of
this kind.

WORCESTER ,Mass.), March 23.-Ex-
Congressman Mckinley, of Ohio, was ac-
corded an enthusiastic reception at po-
litical meeting at Mechanics Hall this
evening. Among the prominent men on
the platform were Senator Hoar, ex-Gov-
ernor Bracket and Congressman Walker.
Mr.. Mckinley spoke at length on the
tariff, expounding his well-known views.
He spoke of the accomplishments of the
Fifty-first Congress, saying that no Dem
ocratic majority in Congress that will be
elected in the next ten years will be able
to repeal its work.
The treaty with Brazil gives foreign
market. We have practically got free
raw material, for a private citizen can
bring his raw material abroad, pay the
tax on it at the Custom-House, manutac-
ture it in his factory, and it will refund
ninety nine per cent. on the manufactured
article, keeping one per cent. as its per-
centage for handling the goods. We can
have free trade, perhaps, when other
nations bring their labor up to our high
standard, for we will never descend to
theirs. We know what thirty years of
protection has done, and if change ever
comes it will not come from school men
or theorists.

1t is well known that Senator Stanford
has been seeking President for Palo

Professor Jordan's ability to fill the

moment, notwithstanding the knowledge
that Senator Stanford's test was exceed
lngly severe. The Senator has told the
public more than once that the man who
would become President of the Palo Alto
University must have the genius of a sue
cessful manager of railroad as well as
the other knowledge necessary for the
position. There are few men in the world
who are clever enough to attain to that
standard.

rived in this city Saturday evening. and

for Chicago, where he will take his priv
ate car for the West. Sunday morning
he sent for DR.. Jordan, and met him in

as his present college years work is COM

him: The salary is $4,000 per year, with
residence.

Indiana University for the last seven
years.

Gainesville, N. Y, January 10, 1851. He
became instructor in botany at Cornell in
1870, meanwhile also studying at that
university, where he was graduated in
1872. Subsequently he settled in Indian
apolis. and was graduated at the Indiana

1874 on marine botany at the Anderson
summer school of natural history at

exists to prevent such meeting, especi-
ally in view of the fact that the commits

When the young fish are large enough
they will be turned out into a lake and
