A STRIP.
Twelve Hundred Square Niles
With Cities
n. D..pute Between Ohio and Indiana-Aas
Population of zoo, OOO-A New Ser-
vey Shows That OHIO Owns
What Indian Has.

INDIANAPOLIS. ND, November n.-Dur-
ing the last two months a survey party sent
out by the national government has been at
work locating the boundary line between
Ohio and Indiana, which has been in dispute
for some time. The work under Prof. Men
3enhall has been completed, and the survey
has its report ready for submission.
The facts found by the surveyors are. as
heretofore alleged, that the true line, as do
ciared when Ohio was organized into state,
commences twelve miles west of the present
boundary line at the north, and runs directly
south to the present line between Ohio and
Indiana, thus making strip 200 miles long
and of an average width of six miles, 200
square m,les-to which the state of Ohio lays
CLAIM. The strip includes the cities of Fort
Wayne, Richmond and Union City, and has
q population altogether of about 200 900.
An inquiry into the cause that led to the
juggling of these boundary lines discloses
that at the time Ohio was made a state there
we're post traders located at Richmond and
Fort Wayne, whose trade with the Indians
was very profitable. Had the line been
drawn correctly these posts would have been
taken into the new state of Ohio, and the
occupation of these traders would have been
gone. The post traders, it is said. bribed the
survey party which located the line, and
Richmond and Fort Wayne we're left on the
Indiana Side.
The question is a very important and COM
plicated one, for should Ohio's claims on In
diana be enforced, Indiana would, on the
same grounds, have cause Of action against
Illinois.

hides. admitted free of duty, he states that
this causes a great depreciation in prices re-
allied for hides of home production and
earnestly recommends that the duty provided
for in section of the tariff act approved
October 1. 1880. be imposed in all cases
where the countries from which hides are
shipped have not granted equal conc >asions

In,uorsane tn Cities.

CLEVELAND. o., November 17.-An impor-
tant decision, affecting the authority of cities
10 control and regulate corporatins enjoying
street franchises, was rendered by Judge
Jackson in the United States circuit court.
Some time since the city council passed an
ordinance reducing the price of gas from 81
to 90 cents per thousand. The gas company
went into the United states court and asked
for relief in equity, claiming that the pro-
posed reduction meant virtual confiscation
of their property, which is contrary to tho
federal constitution, preventing the taxing
of property without due process of law. The
city demurred on the ground that the federal
court had no jurisdiction.
Judge Jackson Cyerruled the demurrer and
granted an injunction against the city. He
held that the city had no right to fix the price
of an article of which vt was consumer, that
the action of the council would impair tho
validity of the contract made with the gas
company in 1916. and that the city bad no
right to do.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, November 1.-THE
midnight train from Chicago, on the Mil
waukee d ST. Paul road, IVES robbed By
masked men near Western Unsoa Janetioo.
After the engine men had been overpow-
cred aud the train stopped, the engineer and
fireman were marched to the express car un-
der cover and the work of blowing open the
express car began. Several bombs, the FIRE
man thinks, were thrown into the car and
the explosion Was terrific, and must have
awakened every passenger on the train, but
nobody appeared on the scene. The robbers
were undoubtedly not less than six o. seven
in number.
When the train reached here, at go 'clock,
the express car looked like it had been at
tackled by heavy artillery. Every window
and door had been blow out and the contents
of the car we're piled up in heap IN the Gen.
ter of the car.
CHIcAGo.-A report Of the train robbery
near Western Union junction has been re-
ceived by General Manager Earring, of the
Chicago, Milwaukee d ST. Paul railroad,
which states that the safes have been recov-
cred and that the robbers did not get any
booty. The report says the robbers de-
manded the keys OF the express messenGee
and he positively refused to give them up.
The robbers then threw the safes out of the
car. In the meantime the rear brakeman
had rushed back to the Junction and got
help, and an engine ana posse Immediately
went to the scene of the robbery and the
robbers fed. The fast mail, which leaves
Chicago at 3 a. M. picked cp the safes and
carried them to Milwaukee.

Offering and rates are steady.
Trade Is large IN volume for the season,
and IN many lines. especially at the west, 10
the largest ever known. but the margins for
profits are narrow and the tendency of prices
is not toward improvement In that respect.
While breadstuffs advance, most of the
manufactured products tend to decline.
The records Of the MORTGAGES satisfied in
western states show that enormous sums have
been taken for that purpose by farmers from
their receipts, 50 that an unusual proportion
of the money paid for crops goes to cancel
the debts created in past years. Doubtless
this, in part, explains the FACT that the demand
for various manufactured products has not
yet increased 60 largely as expected, in view
of the great crops raised.

Old Claim. for HUNS, ,.h,.,.,..

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 1A.-Ths
court of claims and Attorney General Colby
have hard nut to crack. Shall the slaves
who were run OF in tho Greek war, half Q
century ago, be recognized a. property" in
for their value to the holders of the depreoa-
ton claims? That is the problem. Under
the act of last March the department of JUS
tice is overhaulln9 the Indian depreciation
claims, and the court of claims Is getting
ready to render judgments for the amounts
due claimants. One of these claims is for q
negro slave woman and two negro slave
children, one of the latter aged and the
other years. captured and carried OF by
the Creeks. Another is for 81, 500 for a negro
slave man killed, valued at 81 500 What
adds to the complication Is the fact that these
slave claims are preferred-that is to say.
they have been Investigated once and they
stand on the records as allowed but not paid.
In 1887 congress passed law providing
for q commission to examine into and le port
upon claims depredations committed by the
Cherokee, Geek an1 Seminole Indians.
There were prcseI ID o it claims for ali sorts
of depredatIons; Tor houses, fences and crops
destroyed; for horses, cattle, sheep and other
live stock arried OF or killed, and for slaves
upon them all, AMI made report. A singu-
lar feature of tn report is that while in a
majority, If not all, of the cases for claims of
losses of houses and the like DESTROYED, and
for stock killed and carried off, the commits
sion scaled the claim, In the cases of claims
for slaves carried of or killed, the claim was
invariably allowed for the full amount set
out. There wss NJ scaling there. The
panic of 1887, perhaps the worst this country
has yet seen, caused great stringency of
money. Thit, perhaps, accounts for
their not being paid at the time, and
since then Uncle Sam has quietly ignored
them until now. But property in human
beings is no longer recognized in either law
or morals. The question now arises: Shall
these claims for slaves killed or carried CT
by Indians away back in the 3OS b paid?
