ABOUT PAYING INDIANS.

Chairman Hall, of the Chippewa Com
mission. Makes Some Suggestions.
WASHINGTON, July 81. - Chairman
Hall, of the Chippewa commission, who
was requested by the secretary of the
interior to report upon the payment of
the $150,000 reservation fund to these
Indians, writes from the White Earth
agency TO the secretary rs follows, "If
You wish to- contribute to the success Of
this commission, SO far as removing the
Indians to White Earth is concerned, it
cannot be done better than to
pay the reservoir damages in cash
after they had removed to the
White Earth agency and taken their
allotments. This would apply especially
to the Mile Lacs band, who are now
making much trouble among the set
tiers, as they win receive nothing if the
payment is made In stock, implements,
etc. So also, in my opinion, it would
assist in removing the Leech Lake band
mostly to White Earth. / think this
was recommended by Agent Schuller,
of this reservation, and concur heartily
with him. Mr.. Rice, my predecessor,
promised this, Notwithstanding his later

razors in their sleeping room in an old
farmhouse about midnight. Channal
was killed and Boucon was desperately
wounded and just alive when found in
the morning. Just exactly what hap
pened nobody knows. Boucon's version
of the affair is that they quarrelled be-
fore going to bed. Subsequently he
was awakened 70 find Channal sitting
on him and though it was dark in the
room he could see that Channal was
brandishing razor. He grappled with
Channal and the two fell on the floor,
Boucon on top. Both men fought like
demons, each receiving terrible wounds.

Information Regarding Affairs I'm Chill
Very Erroneous.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 81.-A few
months ago the steamer Monteserrat
left this port with cargo of provisions
for Chilli. She has returned with .
cargo Of nitrate which she obtained ut
Pisagua, whore the mines are mostly In
the hands of English capitalists and are
being worked TO their utmost capacity.
Captain Hughes, Of the Monteserrat,
says that much Of the information re-
ceivcd In this country concerning the
affairs in Chilli Ia erroneous and sensa-
tional. He says there has been no fight
ing there to speak Of for three months.
He says the Insurgents are badly in
need of commanding officers, most of
the generals who conducted the cam
paign against Peru being in Europe.
There seems to be no prospects Of i'm
mediate settlement unless Balmaceda
forces one BY the aid of the new vessels
now On route from Europe. If they
reach Chilli without falling into the
hands of the insurgents they win prob
ably turn the tide Of battle In favor OF
Balmaceda.

Proposition TO Consolidate the Western

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 31.-There is
a deal proposed to absorb the Western
leage in the American association and
declare o truce between the Association
and National league. President Kraut-
hoff. of the Western league, is said to
be acting as mediator in the deal. He
Is said te have suggested that the Amer.
ican association drop out of its circuit
the cities OF Cincinnati, Louisville and
Columbus, and fill the vacancies with
Milwaukee, Kansas City and one club
between st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Prcddent Gillette, of the Milwaukee
club, admits that Milwaukee has been
offered Cincinnati's place in tho Associ-
stion. He telegraphed the Association
officials that h0 could not honorably
withdraw from the National agreement
this season. In reply the Association
people said that Milwaukee was wanted
Tor the purpose OF settling the existing
difficulties with the National league.
Simply League Lie.
ST.. LOUIS, July 31.--A representative
OF the United Press handed President
Won Der Abe the dispatch from Mil

there was deal on to place Western
league club in an Association city. Pres

another National league lie. They cir
culate so many of them that am tired
denying them. Nobody is authorized to
offer any Western league club an Amer
ican association franchise, and for that
reason President Gillette could not have
received the offer he alleges. There is
no truth whatever In the statement.
