1t All Depends on How the Govern
ment Deals With the Indians.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The War
Department is taking advantage of the
cessation of hostilities among the Indians
of Dakota, and has been engaged in
gathering authentic information as to the
probabilities of another outbreak this
spring.
A careful investigation has been made
by the officers serving as agents at the
Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies, and
their reports are not altogether reaSSur-
ing. In substance, these officers assert
that there need or need not be trouble,
just as the Government desires. An out
break can be prevented, or, on the other
hand, very little will fan the slumbering
feelings of the aborigines into fierce
flame. That is to say, the whole case
rests upon the care exercised in the dis
tribution of appropriations. If the
Indians get promptly all that is due
them, and there is not too much haggling,
there will be peace. But the moment the
Government attempts to pinch the Da-
kota tribes, the hitherto friendly Indians.
who do not feel very complacent over the
late trips to Washington, will, it is pre-
dicted, surely revolt.
These Indians are at present in the ma
lorlty In the two Dakotas. as most of the
hostile chiefs have been taken by an
Italian show for European trip, and the
remaining hostiles are thus short of lead
erS. They realize perfectly well that
their chiefs are not held as hostages, but
have gone as matter of enterprise, and
SO they would not be necessarily deferred
from an outbreak through fear of retail
alton on their fellows. These absent
chiets, however, are perhaps the worst
lighters of the nation

NEW YORK, March a. Henry W.
Blair, the new United States Minister to
China, to-day reiterated the statement
that the extracts published in the ,Su1,
from his speeches were garbled, and did
not represent his true position. Blair
did not deny having made use of the
language quoted, but claimed that the
reading of all his remarks on the subject
of Chinese immigration would convince
an intelligent person that ne had been in
favor of treating China fairly and Justly.
He said: ''The debate in the Senate on

spoke nearly every day, and made sew
eral extended speeches. If any one is
interested in ascertaining my exact posi-
ton on the Chinese question, let him
read report of the debate printed in the
congressional Record.
Il was then and am still opposed to
Chinese immigration to this country.
The Chinese Government has severe laws
against emigration, and they did not OBJ
lect to our shutting out their people.
w hat China did object to was the enact
ing of the law which went into effect i'm
mediately. Under the law no Chinaman
who had been engaged in business in
this country, and had left the country
temporarily, could return. You can
readily perceive how it worked a great
hardship to them. We had treaty with
China under which Cinnamon could 90

honorable on the part of our Government
to rudely abrogate our treaty with China
without giving them due notice, so those
who were here could leave if they wished
to do so, and those who had settled here

ton OF returning could have an opportun-
ity of so doing. l was almost the only

and improved an opportunity to speak OF
the President about the matter.
While talking over the situation Secre-
tary Noble arrived, and observed that
Rusk was having something to say con-
cerning the Land Commissioner vacancy.
de had few days ago learned that Rusk
was pressing Ex-Governor Stone, and as
a result was somewhat nettled.
He told Secretary Rusk in the presence
OF the President and two other members
of the Cabinet that it was outside of his
jurisdiction to give attention to appoint-
ments in the Interior Department. He
considered it little short of a personal in
suit, and should it come from one whose
opportunities had been better for barring
the rights of the other he would regard it
as gross violation of political etiquette
This provoked the head of the DEPART
ment of Agriculture to retort that ali de-
cency. political and otherwise, was not
the direct outgrowth of association with
the legal lore of Missouri. He said Stone
had signed the first commission of any
kind Noble ever had. He referred to
Mobiles commission as Colonel of the
Third Iowa Regiment, which Stone
signed while Governor of Iowa, and it is
claimed used his influence to have Noble
honored with that position.
About this time in the controversy the
President interfered, and the matter was
dropped.
After the Cabinet meeting Secretary
Noble remained to have talk with the
President about the Commissionership
1t is understood that he favors Carter of
Montana strongly, while the President is
inclined to Stone. 1t is believed that

least defeat Stone, whom he dislikes.

tempted suicide here this morning by

CHICAGO, March 24- The Board of
Rulings of the Central Traffic and Trunk
Line Associations has begun operations
under the recent agreement to boycott all
connecting lines tnat continue to pay
commissions.
The board has sent two or three tele-
grams to the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy management within few days,
claiming to have satisfactory evidence
that it has been paying commissions to
Eastern agents.
The Burlington people have replied
that as no specific charge is made, no
specific answer can be given; that they
have not intended to ignore the agree
ment. and have paid no commissions to
persons not asking for them. They con-
tend, however, that the Board of Rules
has no right to demand a discontinuance
of commission paying without some
guarantee that the Burlington will con-
tinue to receive an equitable share of the
passenger business from the East.
The latest dispatch from the Board of
Rulings intimates that unless the Bur-
lington begins on March 3lst TO conform
to the rule, the tickets of that road in the
Eastern offices will be boycotted. 1t is
doubtful, however, if this threat can be
carried out, as there is not the most alb
solute harmony among tho roads which
are parties to the agreement.
Another conference will probably be
