JURISDICTION
Who Has 1t Over the Waters of
Behring Sea
The United States Supreme
Court Asked to Decide

In an Attempt to Prevent the Condemna-
tion and Sale Of "a Seized Sealor by the
Judge of the United States District
Court in and for Alaska--An Important
Move In the Fur Seal Dispute,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The Behring
sea sealeries controversy came up in the
United States supreme court Monday ON
a mo 10 which has in view judicial
determination in dispute between the
United States and Great Britain over the
seal fisheries
j, S. G. ChOate, in behalf of Thomas
Henry Cooper, owner and claimant of
the British schooner w. p, Sayward,
which was seized in the waters of
Behring sea by the revenue cutter Rush
petitioned the court for leave to file
petition for writ of prohibition, to be
directed to the judge of the district
court of the United States in and for the
territory of Alaska, restraining him
from proceeding with the condemnation
and sale of the vessel.
The object is to have the court take
up and pass upon the question of juris-
dlction over these waters. The chief
justice made an order giving the attor-
ney general two weeks to file an answer
to the brief Of Mr. Choate, giving the
reasons. if any, why the petition should
not be granted.
Omcinl Circles Interested.
The new phase which the Behring sea
controversy has assumed, excites much
interest in official circles, and there is
considerable speculation as to what will
likely be the next move. Secretary
Blaine doubtless knew that Mondays
move in the supreme court was contem-
plated, and it is assumed that he acqui-
esced in it.
1t is pointed out that if Secretary
Blaine still desires to retain possession of
the question, all that will be necessary
for him to do will be to have the United
States district attorney for Alaska nolle
the case of the Sayward in the
court of Alaska. Should this be done,
there would be nothing to appeal
to the supreme court, and the Beh-
ring sea controversy would be relegated
to the position it now occupies.

NOT YET ANSWERED.
The Question as to What is to BE Done
with the Indians.

The Question as to What is to BE Done
with the Indians.
What is.to be done with the Indians is
The disposition seems TO be to let them
roam in peace, and for that reason all
communication with them, even the
newspaper men, is being vigorously pre-
vented. Tomorrow they promise to
send delegation Of chiefs to talk with
Gen. Miles, The result of this confer
ence can not be OWNED. 1t has been
said that some of them will insist upon
going to Washington to lay their griev-
ances before the Great Father, and the
opinion prevails that the suggestion will
be respected, notwithstanding that Gen.
Miles has the settlement of the case in
his own hands.
At this time everything seems favor
able to a successful close of the war
unless the factions within the hostiles
should recommence their tribal quarrels.
The correspondent was told by Frank
Grouard, the scout, and No-Neck and
Yankton Charley, all of whom spent
last night among the hostiles, that the
latter are still fighting among them
selves.
Yankton Charley and No-Neck are
two of Buffalo Bills men, and, like all
of that band are perfectly reliable.
They claim the dissension is as great as
ever, and that it cannot be imagined
how the hostilcs and the others will be
able to arrive at an amicable under
standing
It had been Gen. Miles intention to
ship Big FOot's band south after the
manner of his disposing of several hos
tile tribes, but the battle of Wounded
Knee rendered their transportation un-
necessary. 1t is thought that Gen.
Miles will demand of these Indians the
surrender of those leading bad men, and
ship them as he had intended to ship Big
Foot and then settle with the others.
Whatever plan is adopted, the next
twenty-four hours will likely witness
important events.

come simply a battle between all the In
dians and the whites The ten chiefs
did not come in last night They are
expected to-day, but there are fears that
it will be a day or two before they can
be induced to come to the agency.
Scout Frank Giraud spent the night
in the hostiles' camp and he says the
scene was indescribable Young Man
of-His-H Horses was there talking peace.
The chiefs told him that be could talk al
much as he pleased, but they would
have nothing to say. "They have danced
themselves crazy said Giraud, "and
they are crazy still. The young men
are mad and the old pnes acted as
though they are half afraid. The squaws
not tell what they will do but there are
several hundred young Ren who want
to fight, They have theit war paint on
and are ready for a battlef

A CORNER IN RUBBER.


NEW YORK. Jan. 14,--A syndicate has
been recently formed in Brazil with the
view of controlling all the products of
that country. That something mysteri-
Gus was going on in the rubber trade
has been known for some time, but the
ambitiousness of the scheme has Just
been made known.
A person familiar with the line
of the syndicate's intended opera
tions seems to be convinced that if the
syndicate does not wholly realize its OBJ
jects it will have at least considerable
influence on the future output of the
products of Brazil. Its attention will be
directed chiefly to cornel'ing the Para
rubber crop, which is the largest in the
world.
That they can succeed in producing
considerable effect on this commodity is
evident when it is known that the capi-
tai of the syndicate amounts to $20000,-
900. This sum has already been taken
up, but all the subscriptions have not yet
been paid Enough money has been paid
in, however, to begin operations with
the coming crop of rubber. Shipton
Green, the New York agent of the Red
Cross line of steamers to Brazil, said yes
bVlhety UAlht IG lllOuSnb llldL Ult opera
ton of the syndicate would increase the
price of this years crop of rubber
The price of crude rubber is now sew
enty-six cents per pound, which is about
the same as that of year ago. The
price, however, will be materially in
creased when the effect of the syndicate's
operations have had chance to be felt
The money has been principally sub
scribed by Brazil, he added, but some
foreign capital has been invested in the
scheme The capitalists came together
as late as last August, when the syndi
cate was founded.
1t is stated that spectators have al
ready control Of fully one-half of the
Para crop. If the speculators were to
succeed in securing control of single
crop it would make their fortunes This
is especially true when it is considered
that the leather market has begun to inn
prove most decidedly, and there is an ex-
cellent chance that the price of leather
boots and shoes wi advance

They Camp Within GunshOt of the Picket
Lines of the Soldiers.
OMAHA, JAN 14.-The following was
received from Pine Ridge Agency Mon
day night:
The Reds are at the camp near the
Mission. Kicking Bear is restless, and is
trying to bring about council, by
means of which he will, after bringing
his band to his own way of thinking, at
tempt to break his way through the lines
of Gen. Brooke to the rear of the hostile
camp Fully 100 bucks have come in
to-day.
The sentinels at the outposts have or
ders to disarm them The bucks ride up
with an air of innocence and say their
weapons were taken away from them be-
fore they left their camp. This shows
that they have plenty of guns left be-
hind them.
The whole truth of the matter is that
the bucks have left their arms where
they best know where to find them in
case of need, and therein lies a great
danger.
Gen. Miles has taken the precaution
to separate the Brules from the Ogalal-
las, the former being ON the plain, where
they can best be covered by the artil-
lery
Gen. Miles does not propose to run
any risk with the Brules, though the
Ogalallas are about as crafty and treach-
erous us their brothers.
The situation is not a pleasant one,
but Miles thinks if there should be "a
fight he is pretty well prepared for it,
aud can wipe the reds out. The next
twenty-four hours will tell the tale.

"Ihe Indians have great fear that the
army will be taken away and then all
treated like those who were on Wounded
Knee. They have large number of
wounded women and children, which
creates most depressing feeling among
the families and desperate disposition
among them. The military measures
and movements have been successful.
The control and government now be-
comes the problem, yet no serious em-
barrassment is apprehended at present"

AN UNDERGROUND ARCADE.
How Chicago Intends to Rid the Worlds
Fair Site of the Railroad Tracks.

HOW Chicago Intends to Rid the Worlds
Fair Site of the Railroad Tracks.
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-The problem of
getting the Illinois Central railroad
tracks out of the way of that portion of
the worlds fair to be located on the lake
front was Rappled with in an ordinance
introduced Monday night in the city
council, and made a special order for
next Monday evening. The ordinance
provides for an underground arcade
nearly two miles long from Twenty
second street to Adams street, the whole
to be sunk below the level of Michigan
avenue and to be located in land made
by filling in a part of the harbor. The
worlds fair directors are authorized to
offset the city's loan to the exposition
with any money voted to aid in the re-
moval of the tracks.
The passenger transportation terminal
at the main portion of the exposition in
Jackson park is looming up a possibly
very costly affair Preliminary reports
made Monday by the committee of en-
gineers to the directory committee on
buildings and grounds recommend an ele-
waited ten-track loop, capable of moving
10000 people per hour The elevation is
said to be made necessary by the fact
that Jackson park is hemmed in by the
lines of the Illinois Central, and grade
crossing is impracticable. The estimated
expense of the loop is 81, 900, 900, not in
Guiding an enormous outlay suggested
for an equipment of cars and engines.

PENSIONS ElRST.
They Must BE Paid Before Any More
HOnds Gan BE Bought

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. Secretary
Window is authority for the statement
that the growing treasury surplus can
notnow be used in the purchase of four per
cent bonds, for the reason that it will
be needed to meet pension payments due
next month aggregating $4,000, 600
The available cash surplus is now $18,-
100000, but by continued excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures will probably
reach the required amount by the time
indicated. Secretary Window is of the
opinion that the business of the country
would he improved by making these
pension payments monthly instead of
quarterly, as at present, and he has
made a Recommendation to that effect to
the proper congressional committees.
If this is done, he says, it will do away
with the present necessity of keeping a
large sum of money in the treasury
vaults for three months when it might
just as well be in the hands of the people
entitled to it,
