ton Of what is due to the Indians. Up to
1884 the Sioux had been given S42, 900 600 by
the government. The government &C
knoWledges its treaties and agreements
with the Sioux. Since 1884, when this
money was paid, there had been much
more money paid, according to the treaty.
Inc secretary then quoted statistics as to
issues to the Indians. The schools the In
olans want have been kept up at all the
agencies and Industrial schools such as
Iney want have also been re-established at
flerce and another school would be put up
at Fiandreau. Farmers. had been kept at
dlfferent agencies to show the Sioux
now to farm land. 1t was
mere accident that 100000 should
nave been cut off from the Sioux appro-
prlatlon Immediately after the agreement
with General Crook. 1t would have been
the same if there had been no agreement.
These things should convince the Sioux the
government had been trying to do what
was right for the Indians. In conclusion
the secretary advised the Indians to think
over the many things the government had
done for them; to look at the promises
made by General Crook, and have conf
dence IN what he said. The secretary said
he wanted the Indians to make up their
minds to do the best they could to educate
or have educated their children, and never
to let their young men dream that they
could ever get anything by force from the
United States

The Laws Delay.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. AL the pro-
ceedings in the Davis Will case are stopped
for month at least, so far as the probating
of the alleged VIII is concerned. The
supreme court to-day handed down an
opinion deciding the application for writs
of mandamus and prohibition was made
on just grounds and an order was made to
the effect that they stand as final. The
writ was secured on the ground that no
legal jury had been drawn in the district
court OF Silver Bow county. Judge Nc
Hatton held that there was a jury in court
but erred. The old territorial law pro-
vides for jury commission, which pre-
sents 300 names at each term of court, and
the law is still in effect and must be fol-
lowed. Bob Ingersoll made an argument
on this point in the supreme court Wednes-
day. This delay will add greatly to the
expense of the fight, as about thirty wit
nesses from Iowa are at Butte. But that
does not seem to worry the fighting heirs.

Goodwin Smith on Canadian Politics

New YORK, Feb. 7.-Prof Goodwin
explains the political situation in Canada.
He says: "The immediate issue is that of
trade with the United States, but beneath
this lies broader issue between CONT
mental and anti-continental policy. The
Liberals Of Canada, whether they look for
the ultimate entrance of Canada into
the American union or not, are now the
men for this continent and regard the in
habltants OF the rest of it as partners and
desire to cultivate the closest relations with
them. The conservatives are the anti-con-
tlnentallstS. They desire to keep Canada
in all things divided from her continent
and attached to Great Britain where the
social center of their party lies. Practically
tney seek TO make Canada the engine of the
conservative aristocracy of Great Britain
for averting the triumph of democracy in
the new world and keeping part of the
American continent under aristocratic in
situations or the influence of the anti-con-
tlnental party. Sir John Macdonald is the
chief. His whole policy has been directed
against closer relations with the United
States. The Canadian Pacific railway was
It's destined instrument though the course
events by which mis- national railway
has been converted into half-American
road seems to prove the hopelessness off
the light against nature, for the CONNER
cial question raised by it he may be said to
care comparatively little.
Among the people, whatever NAV be
their political bearing toward the United
States, the desire for free trade with their
own continent grows apace If the people
are let alone there can be no doubt the
verdict will be in favor of reciprocity and
againsta protection governments. But the
people will not be let alone The country
has been governed for twenty-five wears
largely by corruption, carried on by means
of federal subsidies to provinces, which our
constitution unfortunately permits, federal
grants to local public works, concessions to
contractors and bribery of all kinds. These
engines will all be piled and piled on the
people, whose political tone has been sadly
lowered by the long subsection to their
influence. The government majority in
the late parliament was over fifty on a
division of house of 215 members, so that
the Liberals have considerable leeway To
make up. On the other hand, many govern
ment seats were won at the last election bv
small maiorities, which, if the people were
to vote freely according to their conyic
ton on the commercial question, would no
doubt be reversed"

Indian Excitement in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 7.-Sheriff Youngrer and
County Auditor Jadis, of Kittsan county,
who returned to Hallack from Roseau val
ley and the Lake of the Woods, report to
Governor Merriam that the settlers, be-
cause OF the Indian scare, are leaving those
localities in large numbers. At Jadis. on
Roseau river, the settlers were building a
stockage and had organized volunteer
company to defend themselves against the
Indians. The officials say the whole bust
ness seems to have been started by some
evil disposed person. Between three and
four hundred people have left their homes.
Most of them are in very destitute condi-
ton, as they left their stock to shift for
themselves. They will doubtless lose
many cattle

Improvement of the CoIumhIs River.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Feb. THE
Columbia and Snake River Auxiliary
Water Way convention, consisting of dele
gates from Washington, Oregon and Idaho,
adopted resolutions expressing the belief
that ship railway as recommended by the
Oregon delegation IN Congress is the most
economical, satisfactory and expeditions
plan for the permanent improvement of the
Dalles on the Columbia river. A memorial
to the legislatures OF Washington, Oregon
and Idaho, sets forth that financial distress
prevails in the territory drained by the
Columbia on account of the inability of
the railroad companies to remove the grain
crop at the proper time, and as tempo
rary relief urges the construction of a
portage railway around the Cascades and
Dalles in order that the river may be made
navigable to the inland empire.

The Coudert-ChoiseuI Engagements.

LSpecialto TIE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch
New YORK, Feb. THE engagement is
announced of Miss Claire Coudert and the
Marquis de Choiseul, of Paris Of late
years international marriages have grown
so common that, as rule, but little atten-
ton is paid to them. The present engage
meUt, however, is one of Importance, for
the marriage will Join together one of the
oldest and most respected OF the n0bls
families of France and one of the best
known families of this city.
The Marquis de Choiseul came over from
France two months ago and was insme-
diately well received by the fashionable
world. His attention to Miss Coudert has
of late been very marked, and rumors of an
engagement have been flying thick and
fast, so that the announcement Thursday
night was not much of a surprise to their
friends.
There are in France but two or three
families with titles which date beyond that
of the marquis. In the year 800 one of the
De Choiseuls married a daughter of king
of France and the present Marquis de Choi7
seul. is in the direct line descendant. His
mother, an American who went TO Paris q
great many years ago, fell in love with the
old Marquis de Choiseul, married him and
has lived there ever since. When eight
wears of age the present Marquis de Caoi-
seul fell heir to the title through the death
of his father. His cousin is the Duke de-
Praslin. Unlike majority of titled for.
eigners who come over here, the Marquis
de Choiseul has great deal of money and
it cannot be said, therefore, he has coms to
this country to marry rich wife.
Miss Claire Coudert is the eldest dsu-,

A BRITISH TAR.
Gallant Captain Rees, of the
Steamer Ashlands,
Rescues a Siberian Political Prisoner-He
Eiudes the Turkish Authorities at Constan
tinople, and PIays.uhe 'Romanus Sum-"

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Feb. IA letter just re-
ceived from London tells how Siberian
political prisoner named Bourtzeff was
aided by British captain to escape from
the Car. Alter many adventures and after
eluding the guards in his Siberian prison,
Bourtzeff planted his foot firmly on the
deck of the British steamer Ashlands, COM
manded by staIwart, good hearted Welsh
man, Captain Rees. The steamer pro-
ceeded to Constantinople, where the
authorities had been notified by the Rus
sian government that Russian prisoner
was on board and was to be got off oy some
means or other. First spy managed to
get on board and when Captain Rees
steamed from the Black sea into the Bos-
phorus he found himself surrounded by
Turkish patrol boats. He determined,
however, that Bourtzeff should be safe and
sound as far as he could insure it on Brit
ish vessel. He was ordered on shore by the
authorities, but he took care to get Bourt-
zen entered under an assumed name as
steward OF the vessel and then he braved
the Turk. He was examined and cross-ex-
amined as to his predetermined steward, of
whose evolution the spy had managed to
acquaint the authorities, and finally on the
Turkish theory that man will do any
thing for money, brides were offered to
Captain Rees ranging from e160 to $500,
but the sturdy captain refused all such Of
fers, denied the right to search his vessel
and took bold stand on the 'sRomanus
sum" basis. He went back to his ship, got
up steam and followed by the Turkish
boats, raced down the Dardanelles into the
Hgean sea with both Bourtzeff and the
Russian spy on board, the latter not leav-
ing the vessel until Gibraltar was reached.
Then they made for England, and Bourt-
zeff was landed safely in the London docks.
When the story got out Captain Rees was
overwhelmed with congratulations, and has
been made much of by members of the
National Liberal club.

The Davis viii Case jury Illegal.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 7.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. Present indica-
lions point to an indefinite postponement
to the Davis will case. The contestants
have been fighting for time, and as last
resort took the case before the supreme
court upon the question of the illegality of
the trial jury. That court to-day decided
the jury illegal and ordered the lower
county court to appoint commission and
proceed to draw jury according to the
provisions of the law. Judge Mediation is
OF the opinion that this will delay not only
the Davis case but all the business of the
court at least six weeks. In the mean
time the heirs will be obliged to postpone
the handling of the Davis millions.
