PEOPLE DISSATISFIED
With the Work OF the Turtle
Mountain Indian Commission.

Special to the Globe.
FARGO. N. d., Dec. 12.-It seems that
the Turtle Mountain Indian commission
was not carrying out the sentiment of
the people of North Dakota when it
in its report asked congress to pay 1.-THE
ChippeWaS the sum of S1,000,000 for the
} 10000 900 acres of land IN the Devils
Lake district belonging to them, also to
ratify a treaty with them allowing them
the present reservation for twenty years.
The settlers bitterly oppose the treaty,
and have appealed to Senator Hans
brough to endeavor to have such an act
abated. The people are of the same
opinion as Senator Teller, that the
Turtle Mountain Indians have no right
OF title to the land they claim,
but that the same was included i'll
a treaty made between the Sioux
and the government before the Chip
pewas crossed the Mississippi. The
people OF the state want the Indians re-
moved, and Senator HansbrOugh will
recommend that they be removed to the
abandoned Fort Rice military reServa-
ton. in the vicinity of Bismarck. The
commission was not authorized to make
any treaty with the Indians. The
trouble with the present reservation is
that it is located too near the Canadian
border, and in the course of several
years the number of reds now living
upon it would be trebled by additions
from the Canadian Indians, who move
across the border because they can Sc
cure more money and rations from the
United States government than from
the Dominion. 1t is regarded i'll North
Dakota as clear waste of public money
to pay these Indians $1,00O,00O for land
they do not own.

WINONA, Dec. 12.-Mrs. Mary Null
hearn, of this city, about fifty years of
age, who has for years been sufferer
from chronic disease of the lower
limbs which permitted her to only
hobble painfully with the aid of cane.
has returned from weeks visit at
Canton, Mimi, fully restored to health,
and is now able to move about without
any difficulty, and is as agile as any
ordinary woman of her age. To a
GLOBE representative, who called upon
her today, she expressed the
utmost faith in the healing power
of the window in which the
faces are said to appear. She distinctly
saw three different appearances in one
day, the first being the virgin and child,
the second Christ with a bearded face,
and the third the scene of the craciiiX-
ion. Bishop Cotter being interviewed
today showed his uEbelief i'll decided
terms regarding the supposed mirs Gu
lous power of the window. He aScribeS
the second so-called appearance Of
picture to a flaw in the glass and the
shadows cast by the cornice of the
church. This, augmented bv lively
imagination would enable the beholder
to see almost anything he wished to.
The bishop, when reminded of the
rumor of Father Jones' contemplated
removal, said the rumor was without
foundation. He spoke in terms of high
praise regarding Father Jones, but is
inclined to think him visionary. The
bishop also states that If he thought
there was any collusion or scheme con-
nected with the sacred glass, he would
close the church at once. lie thinks of
making an examination of this window,
and if he decides to remove it also, it
will not be replaced.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Dec. 12.-ln-
definite rumors of an Indian outbreak
at Fort Belknap, which were disputed,
reached here yesterday. A dispatch
received this afternoon explains these
facts. Saturday an Assiniboine Indian
named Big Mouth was shot and killed
by young buck OF the same tribe
whose name is not known. The mur-
derer gathered his friends and fortified
log cabinnear by. Agent Simons was
notified and proceeded to the seat of
trouble with posse. Advancing upon
the cabin they were fired upon by the
occupants, one horse being killed and
Simons wounded in the leg. The white
men are now besleging the cabin. The
Indians are about a dozen in all, and
say they will not be captured alive.
The report Of general outbreak is
without foundation and false.
A later dispatch sent by Agent Simons
to Gov. Joseph X. Toole, is said to read:
Send troops at once and notify Wash
ington." 1t is thought here that the eX-
element has spread 10 other Indians.
1t is also reported that several Indian
soldiers have been killed and wounded
by the rebellJous reds.

was the infamous amendment which

Both Senator Leavett and Mr.. Koerner
took strong grounds against it, with the
result, that the vote of Meeker was
almost solidly against the proposition.

A Large Tract of Valuable Land

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Tne supreme
court of the United States today, in an
opinion delivered by Associate Justice
Brewer, decided the long pending con-
troversy between the United States and
the Southern Pacific railroad over Ger
tain valuable lands situated between
the Colorado river and the Pacific ocean,
within the limits of the grant to the
Atlantic q Pacific Railroad company,
and which the Southern Pacific claimed
as successor to the Atlantic IL Pacific.
The court below decided for the South
ern Pacific company in all the cases.
Justice Brewer held that the title to the
lands in question vested in the Atlantic
& Pacific were forfeited by the act of
congress of 1856, and did not pass to the
Southern Pacific railroad, but was there
by restored to the public domain; and
therefore the title rests in the United
States. The decision of the lower court
is reversed with instructions to issue a

Washburn's Pet Measure Appears
Before the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The senate
spent three hours and five minutes in
session today, the five minutes being
voted to executive business OH the sub
ject of the appointment of an interstate
commerce commissioner. The anti-op-
tion bill made its appearance twice,
the first time being when. at the
close of the morning hour. it
was laid before the senate as the "un-
finished business" and when, with the
consent of its manager, Mr.. Washburn,
it was temporarily laid aside to allow
another matter, then under discussion,
to be finished. AS it was evident. after
nearly another hour, that conclusion
of that matter might be delayed too
long, Mr.. WaShburn interposed, and
had the antl-option bill again pre-
sented for action. 1t was suggested
by Mr.. Harris that the print of the
bill did not show III distinctive types the
measure as it came from the house, the
amendments already agreed to in the
senate and the amendments that are
still pending, and that it could not, for
that reason, be acted on intelligently. A
the bill went over till tomorrow,
after aremark by Mr.. Washburn that he
did not intend to be stampeded. or to
allow the bill to be unduly delayed, and,
in that connection, he read telegram
received by him from New Orleans,
stating that it was the purpose of cot
ton spectators aud cotton-speculating
towns to have action delayed until after
the holidays TO allow the dealers to un-
load under the Cry of short crop.
The subject, which occupied most of
the days session was Mr.. Vests joint
resolution for the appointment of a
commission to have an agreement made
with the five civilized tribes of Indians
for the taking of land in Severalty and
for opening the remainder of the lands
to white settlement. The discussion
was chiefly between Senators Vest and
Berry, who were both agreed as to the
main question proposed, but who diff

simply dreadful, and illustrates the dire
extremities into which newspaper can

This would be terrible, if true, but
there is grave doubts in regard to the
truth of this assertion. The Journal
has not been awake long enough to
learn the news of "seven or eight" anti
Davis Republican leaders, and it cannot
print that number of names without

SINGULAR B4TRACHIAN.
Discovery Near Fargo Of Fish
With Feet.


With Feet.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, n. D., Dec. 12.-The strange
spectacle of fish with feet" is agitat-
ing the people of Cando, ToWner county.
A dispatch from that place says: On
Friday j. B. Madison was out in the
direction of Big Coulee, and he saw
a strengthening animal. He had never
seen its like before, and, in fact, OF the
many persons who have viewed the
monstrosity, none has ever before seen
its like. On nearer inspection it tseemed
to be harmless; it acted very sluggish.
and appeared to be more dead than
alive. He procured help and took it
into town, where it caused a sensation.
AS it was Stiltalive it was placed in an
improvised tank, under cover, where
hundreds of persons viewed it. District
Attorney King, who is something OF
scientist, made careful examination of
it with a view OF discovering its
classification. He finally concluded
that it was ba trachlan, and
a species of Axalotl. 1t is 215 milli-
meters in length. 1t seems to have some
thing of the nature of the saIamander,
and cares for neither heat nor cold,
luOuSlI iotOly ~ oOOho lHlOhC Oi hOCP-
ing its head under water.
10 the unscientlfic eye it presents no
very inviting appearance. 1t is a long.
Shiny thing, much the general shape Of
lizard, except its head is more that of
a fish, and it has fsh's fms. 1t looks
like fish with legs and feet. The hind
feet have five toes each and the front
ones four. The hind legs are about
midway between the head and end of
tail. The tail is surmounted by fin.
like that of an eel. On each side of the
neck are three long protuberances about
one-siXth of its entire length, which are
covered on the outer edge with hair.
and may be what was described as
name on the alleged Devils Lake sea
serpent. No animal of this species has
ever before been discovered in this lati-
tude, and the only reason that can be
assigned for It's long pilgrimage across
the country is desire to escape the
clutches of this years politicians.
